CONDITION OF THE CITY JAIL IS POCR For the First Time in Several Years Bills Were Returned Agal Every Person Bound Over in Justice Court. Among the indictments ieturned yester- day by the district court grand jury in its | final report were two against the Mason City & Fort Dodge Rallroad company for obstructing public highways in Garner township. The indictments are the result of a controversy between the Board of Supervisors and the railroad company. In constructing its overhead erossings over certain roads the rallroad, by driving pil- ing on both sides of the highway left a driveway which the county authorities deem insufficient for ordinary traffic. A remon- strance was made and the piling ordered removed, but the railroad paid no attention to the demands of the county board. The piling is said to be of a permanent char- acter and not a temporary superstructure during the construction of the roadbed of the Great Western. The obstruction un- der the criminal proceedings can be ordered removed by the court and the railroad com- pany fined $1,000 in each case if found gullty of the offense charged. A number of other indictments were re- turned by the grand jury, but only those affecting persons in custody were made pub- lie. Those made public yesterday were: Some Other Indictments, George Fisher and Henry Buckley, charged with the theft of sevem pair of pants from the clothing store of M. Marcus at 548 West Broadway, on the night of Jan- uary 3 John Wilson, charged with the theft of two overcoats from the Minden hotel at Minden, Ia., on December 10, 1902. Lewis Brown and Matson Milburn, charged with the larceny of a quantity of household goods from the residence of A. D. Foster, corner of North Second and Grant streets on December 17, 1902. Henry Matson, charged with the theft of an overcoat belonging to Floyd Lowrey from Metzger's restaurant, 523 West Broad- way, on the night of January 17 last. Harvey Davis, charged with the larceny by embezzlement of a horse, buggy and hi ness, the property of W. F. Patton of Liv- ing Springs, on November 24, 1902. Condemns City Jail. The grand jury in its report again calls attention to the uncleanly condition of the city jail. Tts report with respect to the county and city jails and the insane de- partment of St. Bernard's hospital follows: We find the county jall in a neat and cleanly condition and in good condition in every respect, excepting the cylinder cell in sald Jail, ‘which turns too hard and should be repaired at once. We find the city jall in fairly good con- glfl(:n, but not so cleanly as it should be ept. We find the portion of St. Berna=d's hos- ital in which Insane persons are confined % first vllr condition in every respect. @ found the er In charge very oblig- ing and she used every effort to present to us a full and complete knowledge of the methods emplo{od and care given the in- sane patients I sald hospital confined. ‘We are also indebted to Dr, J. M. Bars- tow for his kind services in assisfing us in our investigation of the conditions ex- isting in sald hospital. , For the first time in many terms of court the grand jury returned indictments against every defendant bound over from the jus- tice and police courts and failed to return a single “no bill.

Read, 126 Main St, COMMERCIAL CLUB IS BORN Large Number of Representative Bi Men Sign the Member. ship Roll. ine The mass meeting last night decided on the formation of a commercial club prac- tically upon the plan outlined by the com- mittee of fifteen. The meeting was one of the most enthusiastic of its kind ever held In the city and the city council cham- ber was packed to the doors, many having to stand out in the hallway during the proceedings. At the close of the meeting over 100 representative business and pro- tessional men signed the membership roul. The organization will be known as the Council Blufts Commercial club and will be incorporated under the laws of the state governing organizations not incorporated for pecualary profit. The entrance fee will be $5 and the annual dues $12, payable quarterly in advance. The governing body will be a board of fitty directors, to be selected by ballot, each of whom shall pay $26 annually In ad- dition to the regular entrance fee and an- nual dues. The working body will consist of an executive committee of five members elected by the board of directors. The amount that the members of the executive committee shall be required to pay and the compensation they shall receive will bc de- termined by the board of director The organization of a buflding associa~ tlon to erect a building for the use of the club was not favorably received, the opinion being that this was a matter to be taken up later after the club had become fully organjzed and in working order. The question of the social foatures of the club, including a monthly general meet- {ng, accompanied by a banquet, was left to the board of directors to decide. The question of the appointment of a secretary and a commissioner was also left with the board of directors to report at a subse- quent meeting. These matters cannot be determined until it is rtained what working capital the organization will re. ceive from the membership dues, ete. Attorney Finley Burke, H. W. Binder and H. H. Van Brunt were appointed a committee to draft the articles of incor- poration and report same at the next meet. ing. These were appointed a committee to place in nomination fifty members to form the board of directors: H. A. Quinn, W. J. Davenport, F. J. Day, Ernest B. Hart, Fred H, Hill. A committee to solicit membership was appointed as follows: Dr. V. L. Treynor, Howard Culver, Lewis Hammer, Charles A. Beno and B. M. Sargent. Victor E. Bender presided and City Clerk Phillips, in the absence of Alderman O. Neme and Residence. [&ryl 'Lfm" R E:l‘l:‘c.ll‘ Biufts i .

RENEWS FIGHT ON SALOONS Injunctions Asked for Against Two for Alleged Violations of the Law. SIOUX CITY, Ia., Jan. 21.—(Special Tel- egram.)—A second anti-saloon campsign has been started in Sioux City by the Antl- Saloon league. Since the retirement of T. E. Carter from the active servico of the league the fight against the saloons has fal- len into abeyance and the saloon men have been quick to take advantage of the lull. Now Rev. C. F. Willlams and Rev. F. F. Day, beth members of the Anti-Saloon league, have remewed the fight, and the first frults of their activity were shown to- day In two sults for injunctions brought against J. H. Young and J. F. Wheelock. Many of the saloons are keeping open all night and the league proposes to wage ac- tive warfare from now on. At the time of the last campalgn nearly all the saloons were enjoined and fafrly strict' observance of the Martin law was had for a time. County Rejocts Gift. CRESTON, la., Jan. 21.—(Speclal.)—By the action of the Board of Supervisors of Union county that portion of the old road- bed of the Burlington road between Afton and Creston will revert back to the orig- inal owners and will not be used for road purposes, as was the intention of the rail- | road company when it gave rhe county a deed for the ground last December. The company gave the county a deed which conveyed all the old roadbed between Afton and Creston to Union county to be used a a wagon road and the Board of Supervisors accepted the gift at its December meeting. There was a condition to the gift that it any portion of the bed was ever used for the right-of-way for any other steam or electric rajlway that the title should revert back to the company and the county should pay $15,000 for the culverts and bridges that were in the right-of-way. After the board had accepted the deed it found that the law provided that after the old roadbed had been abandoned by the company for the period of eight years that any other com- pany could acquire the same whether the county was willing or not by condemnation proceedings, and for fear that this might happen and the county would have to pay the $15,000, they reconsidered the former action and returned the deed and contract. The company will sell what portion of the roadbed it can and allow the remainder to revert back to the original owners. Cattle Sale a Success.

OMAHA DAILY INTEREST FROM BEE: THURSDAY, IOWA RICHARDS NOW 1IN MEXICO Ex-Marshal Suspeoted of Sullivan Robbery Has Left the Country. SUPREME COURT HARD ON ONE MURDERER Twenty-Five-Year Sentence Not Too Much—Removal of Rock Island En- gincering Department—fowa Fraternal Congress. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Jan. 21.—(Special.)—It bas been definitely learned that ex-Deputy United States Marshal Richards ot Creston is a tugitive from justice and has gone to Mexico to escape prosecution for various offenses. Sherifft Anderson of Audubon who is president of the Sheriffs' Associa tion of Towa, wrote to the sheriff of this county today stating tbat he had been in- vestigating the Rtichards case and had det- Inttely learned that Richards bought a ticket in Omaha, January 9, for El Paso, Tex., and started on that day for Mexico. Richards was last scen in Des Moines Jan- uary 7, and later was seen in the western part of the state. Then it was asserted he was out looking for Carnes, who shot Sher- ift Strain, but this was denied. A letter was received today from Mrs. Richards by the agents of the bonding company which bonded Richards in an estate matter, and she refused to make any statement as to where Richards is now. The bonding com- pany has investigated atd finds that Rich- ards is short possibly $2,000 on the estate, but may have some property to partly cover this. He procured some money trom the sheriffs of the state with which to pay his expenses in conncction with looking after Carnes, and this amounted to about $600. Now that it is known that Richards has fled and that he has thus virtually con- tessed complicity in the Hamilton robbery, the bellef obtains that for a number of years he had been in fact shielding some of the criminals in the southern part of the state he was supposed 10 be engaged in prosecuting. The evidence against him in connection with the robbery of Sullivan at Hamilton was regarded as strong and it s believed also that he took with him prac- tcally all the money which was secured. His friends think that he would hardly have | engaged In the robbery if he had not be- | come involved in the embezzlement from an estate and realized that he would soon be brought Into court on that charge or some other. Confirmed Long Sentence. The Jowa supreme court this morning passed judgment on another Iowa mur- derer and determined that the sentence of twenty-five years in the penitentiary, which he received at the hands of Judge Dewey at Sloux City, was warranted by the evi- dence and not at all excessive in his case. Ben McKnight had on several occasions brutally assaulted and abused his wife and on February 14, 1901, he had assaulted her and inflicted upon her terrible wounds, trom which blood poisoning followed and her death followed nine days later. Mc- Knight was convicted of murder in the sec- ond degree and sentenced by Judge Dewey -five years imprisonment. asked to state that this sen- tence was exgesslVe, but declares, in an opinion writteh Yy Justice Weaver, that the crime, as the evidence tends to estah- lish, was a pecullarly brutal and heartless one, and that the defendant could not justly complain of any penalty less severe than the extreme limit provided by the laws. The chiet reliance for a weversal was on the allegation that the statements of the murdered woman admitted in the case were without warrant, since it was not shown that she realized her impending death, The court finds that she fully realized her con- dition. Argue Phillips Case. The case of the State against Jack Phil- lips, convicted of manslaughter, was ar- gued on rehearing before the supreme court today. Phillips, while acting as a special policeman at Eldon, clubbed Clarence Debard so severely that he died. I M. Tomlinson, for the defense, today argued that the killing of Debard must be held to have been accidental, because the autopsy had shown Debard’s skull to be abnormally thin, and that it Phillips misjudged the thickness of the gkull and inflicted blows that ordinarily would not have caused death to a man, he should not be held re- sponsible. The court held in the case of McMinimee against Smith from Crawford, in which a judgment for $500 on account of slanderous words had been entered, that an open ac- cusation of theft is actionable without proof of speclal damages and the judgment was proper. In a damage case from Burlington, whera one Richard T. Barry was killed by a street car the lower court had decided that there ‘was contributory negligence shown and that there was no showing that the motorman could have prevented the accident. The su- preme court hoids that the jury should have been allowed to decide this. In a tax ferret gase from Story county the county auditof instead of the county | treasurer had perfermed the act of making the assessment against property turned up by the ferrets and the court holds this was without authority. Other Court Decislons. The following are the other decisions filed by the court today: State agalnst Ben McKnight Woodbury county, second degree; Weaver.

INSANE WOMAN ENDS LIFE Mra. Oscar Martin of Webster County, lowa, Found Hanging to Hog Chute, Dubuque; ent; W. J catine; & com- FORT DODGE, , Jan. 21.—(Speclal Telegram.)—The hody of Mrs. Oscar Mar- tin, living near Dayton, Webster county, was found hanging from a hog chute on the farm of her father-in-law, Axel Ehn, one mile from her home, this morning. ‘The knees of the dead woman barely cleared the ground and the act was clearly one of premeditated euicide. Mrs. Mar- tin left a letter in which she asked her sister to care for her five small children. She has been demented since the death of her husband last summer and has often threatened to take her life, but no impor- tance was attached to her statements. Mrs. Martin belonged to one of the most respectable families of Dayton and her tragic death has caused a eensation there. The family is well to do and the children will be well cared for by relatives. Storm Names Assistants, FORT DODGE, la., Jan. 21.—(Special.)— A. V.

CRESTON, la., Jan. 21.—(Special.)—The boards of supervisors and county auditors of the countles of Adams, Clark, Unlon, Adair, Montgomery and Taylor have had two meetings to consider the advisability of adopting a uniform style of books to be used in the county offices of these counties and aiso to simplify and syctematize the method of taking care of the county’s busi- ness.
