OBJECT TO PAYING FOR DEAD HOUNDS rge Number of Dormant Stricken from the Docket and Others Asslgned for Trial. | Although it died a natural death ten years | ago, the Council Bluffs Wolf and I'ox Hunt- ing club, or at least memories of It, were brought to life yesterday in a sult in the | aistrict court. In the suit in question Lewie | Hammer, who was formely in the lumber business in addition to being a member of the city council and a blue-blooded sports- man, Is seeking to recover on a note given by certaln members of the hunting club in payment for lumber used in the construction |ot dog kennels. Ben Marks, who rode to hounds in his youth in the old country, and Attorney W. H. Ware, who would rather drive or ride a horse any day than attend | court, are the defendants in the suit. They were leading members of the Wolt and Fox | Hunting club and as members of the com- mittee attached their signatures to the note for $128.38 which Hammer now seeks to re cover on. The note is dated Ostober 9, 1891, and the Interest has been piling up ever since, The original members of the Wolf and Fox Hunting club were W. H. Ware, Ben Marks, L. C. Besley, E. M. Hunter, Lewls Hammer, W. L. Paxton, F'. W. Spetman, Colonel W. H. Beck and Willlam Maloney. The club started out with a grand flourish of trumpets, a pack of hounds was secured from some of the best kennels east and kennels were bult at Lake Manawa. The mounts of the local sportmen, however, were not hunters and the riders had a hard time keeping in sight of the hounds. The stock of coyotes be- came exhausted and interest in the club commenced to lag. Finally the club was of and Lake Manawa ceased to resound with the crack of the huntsman’s whip or the merry sound of the huntsman’s horn. The members of the club had arrived at the con- clusion that Council Bluffs and vicinity was not a hunting country and was not adapted for cross-couatry riding on steeds which had never been trained to jump anything except a board bill. The defendants Marks and Ware resist be- ing made lable for the payment of the note gr they signed it simply as a committee of the club and that Hammer should sue every member of the club and not single them out. The hearing was not completed yesterday and will be resumed this morning. In calling over the law docket yesterday morning Judge Macy ordered a large num- ber of cases which have been pending for over a year without being brought to trial stricken out. Assignment of Cases.

Foley last March 'gsecured a sub- contract from Butler & Ryan for a portion of the grade on the Great Western and in June employed Nephew as his foreman. According to the petition filed in court yes- terday Foley discovered that Nephew did not suit him and he discharged him. Nephew, however, refused to be discharged in such a summary manner and continued to act as foreman and issue orders to Foley's em- ployes. A deputy sheriff left last évening for Foley's camp to serve the restraining order on Nephew. Gravel roofing, A, H. Read, 641 Broadway. September 27—Voss againsi | N. Y.

DES MOINES, Sept. 12.—(SpSaal.)—The state of lowa had heavy frosts this morning in nearly every section. Some of the sta- tions of the Weather bureau report killing frosts, as at Charles City, BEstherville, | Towa City, Keosauqua, Maquoketa and Og- den, but there was nothing more than a heavy frost in Des Moines, Marshalltown and other leading points In central lowa. Director Sage of the Weather bureau is of the opinion that notwithetanding the re- ports of killing frosts there was nothing more than an ordinary frost in most of the state and that the crops have not been in- jured in the least as yet. The weather continues cool and other frosts may be ex- pected, and these would have the effect of doing some injury if they follow close on the frost of this morning. The vegetation in the state is still very green and the corn has not as yet ripened, as it should have done before this. Late rains have been too frequent for the good of the crops.

WHY THE GATE STANDS AJAR New Reason Assigned for Opening Denver Passage to Other Road The child Rallroad men have found another reason for the opening of the Denver gateway by the Union Pacific to the Rock Island and Burlington. It 1s that an alliance was be- fng brought mbout between the Clark and Moffatt people which would connect Sena- tor Clark's San Pedro line at Salt Lako City with Moffatt'’s Denver, Northwestern & Pacific. Whether this alllance will be consum- mated or abandoned, now that the gateway has been thrown open, is a matter of con- siderable speculation) It is generally sup- posed that the Moores made some pledges to Harriman as to the relations with Mof- fatt's line when completed, which had a great deal to do with the concessfons mc- quired by the Rock Island In connection with the Moffatt 1ine and its relation to the Unton Pacific, a report comes from authentic sources that the survey which s now being made from Grand En- campment, Wyo., to Hog Park, via South Fork, by the Unlon Pacific will not be stopped until the line reaches Steamboat Springs, where it is proposed to make the connection of the Union Pacifie branch and the Moffatt line. Such a route would af- tord the Union Pacific a short line to Den- ver, traversing a country rich in mineral deposits and covered with valuable timber. MeNally Leaves and Butler Comes. J. 8.
