Pogtmaster Hazleton took advantage of Congressman Smith's presence In the city | yesterday to Iny before him the need of an addition 1o the federal building. The growth of the business of the postofice has been | wuch fn tke last few years that the present quarters are entirely inadequate. The clerks are 80 crowded that their work fs eriously hampeved, especially during a busy period. It is only a matter of a short time when additional rcom will have to be provided. This agitation for increased room at the postoffice is not a new matter. During the last, term of I. M, Treynor as pcstmaster “the ‘Mttention of ‘the department was calleq to the need of an addition to the building and Congressman Smith was then asked to try to secure an apprepriation from the government of $10,000 to purchage ground for the proposed addition. It was then sug- gested, and the same plan is now favored, 10 erect a wing on the west side of tao bullding. Postmaster ‘Hazelton has forwarded to the department in Washington the pians and specifictions for the new fixtures needed in the postofiice. Among other things they call for 562 new. lockboxes, 100 more than the present number. The section now used for general delivery files will be util- ized for the additional lockboxes in the event of the department consenting to the increase. aves Money Under Plllow.

' | That it costs the taxpayers approximately $40,000 to maintain the courts and judiclal | machinery of Pottawattamie county will be news. For the first time In the history of | this county the county auditor is now pre- paring a financial statement, showing the cost of the various departments. This is In accordance with the new law. which went into effect last July, and which re- quires the county auditor to make a finan- cial statement in January of each year, | and requires the County Board of Supervis- | ors to have same published in pamphlet form for distribution among the uxnu)'ri ers, i The work of compiling this statement is | a tedlous one, as it involves the 'checking | over and listing of every warrant drawn | on each of the county funds during the 12 | months. Yesterday County Auditor Innes | | completed the portion of the statement, | showing the amount expended during 1902 | for the maintenance of the courts, and it | reveals the fact that it amounts to about | $40,000 per annum in Pottawattamie county. | This amount covers the expense of nn-i district courts in Council Bluffs and Avoca, the office of the clerk of the district court, | the grand and petit juries, state witnesses | in court and before grand jury and court attaches, including court reporters. It does not, however, include the salaries of the district court judges, as they are paid by the state. It includes, however, the county's portion of the salary of the judgs | of the superfor court, who receives $2,000 | per annum, half of which is paid by the | city, the judge of the superior court also | acting as judge of the city police court in | Council Bluffs The cost of maintaining the district courts in Council Bluffs and Avoca, including the office of the clerk of the district court, | amounted In 1902 te $33,839.49. The grand | | juries in both places cost $266.75. Of | | tis amount the members of the grand ju- | | ries recelved as mileage and per diem $1,- 002.75, withnesses $837.80 and bailiffs and clerks $136.20. v The costto the county in 1902 for main- | taining the justice of the peace courts | througaout the county was §2,341.88. The Justices and constables derive their pay | from fees pald into court. The cost of maintaining a superfor’ court 18 a dead loss to the county and taxpayers, for a number of terms past practically no cases have been tried fn It, litigants, as g rule, preferring to take their suits to the district court, County Auditor Innes expects to have the entire statement completed in time for the for the meeting of the Board of 3uper- visors on February 17. . asi ot A, H. Head, 126 Maln St Distriet Court. The defense in the $10,000 personal injury damage suit of F. E. Bender against the town of Minden began its inning yesterday in the district court and it is expected the :ase { will go to the jury sometime today. The | | defense of the town, which s putting up a vigorous fight, is based on several grounds. The principal contention of the town is that | it was never legally incorporated and there- fore not responsible for the condition of the | alleged defective sidewalk. It is contended that Bender was guilty of contributory neg- ligence. Minden began doing business an incorporated town in 1890, but the rec. | { ords of the district court fall to show that any commission was appointed to conduct | an election, or that the other requirements governing the Incorporation of a town were complied with. It is alsa contended on be | balt of the town that its ordinances were not legally passed as the clerk falled to | record the yea and nay vote of the town | eouncil. In a criminal case in the district | court about a year ago the court ruled that | | the ordinance under which the defandan: | was belng prosecuted was invalld for this reason. Counsel for the plaintiff, however, contend that even if the court records fail to show a legal incorporation, the town cannot now, after having exerclsed the pow | ers of an Incorporation for twelve ye: ehirk responsibility. The case, owing to | the questions involved, is attracting more | than ordinary attention. In the case of Dell, Hennessy agalnst the Milwaukee railroad, Judge Thornell overs | ruled the motfon for a uew trial. The | plaintiff received a verdict of $100 for the killing of a horse. i Couuty Attorney Killpack returned yes- | terday from Avoca, where he attended the opening of the February term of district court. The grand jury had nothing to do ibut to meet and adjourn, as the east end |of the county this term presented a clean I bill of heaith. No one had been held to the | grand jury and consequently there were no | indictments to return or no bills to And. The criminal calendar in the district court here probably will not be taken up before the beginning of March. To the county ats | torney Judge Thornell stated yesterday that | he believed the vivil business would keep | | the court going until then. i ! Houser Agaiu in Trouble. | Gravel roofl Matters 1 David Houser, the young man who re- cently escaped being sent to the peniten- | tlary by being paroled by Governer Cum- | mis, is in trouble again. He was ar- rested yesterday morning on a charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses, pre- terred by Marks & Co., proprietors of the | Ogden livery on Broadway. It is alleged that young Houser, on the representation that his employer would settle the bill, hired a double tema and buggy for two hours. Instead of refurning the outfit at the end of that time, it is said that Hovser kept it all night, and that when It was | brought back the following morning the buggy was in a badly damaged condition. Marks & Co. allege that Houser's employer | never authorized the hiring of the rig. Houser at the last term of district court ‘was sentenced (o tem months in the peni- tentiary for 1obbing David Johnston of $140.

LAWYERS AFTER THEIR FEE Peculiar Tumn in ths Oelebrated Breach of | Promite Oase from Fort Dodge. | SCHEME TO MULCT A RAILROAD FAILS eted for | Whick Armour & Company Are In Selling Oleomnrgarine | Meets Conditions of Na- tional Law. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Feb. 5.—(Special.)—An- other turn was taken in the litigation over breach of promise of marriage between So- phia Olsen and 8. J. Anderson of Fort Dodge. Last Saturday they appeared be- fore Chief Justice Bishop of the supreme court with a marriage license and asked him to marry them. They presented also at the same time a sworn statement In regard to the damago case which had only a few days before been submitted to the supreme court on appeal. The chief ‘justice, sus- pecting that there wi a scheme to affect the attormey fees in the case and dispose of the damage suit contrary to custom. turned them away and refused to perform the ceremony. They went back to Fort Dodge and the next day were married by a minister. The woman had secured judg- ment for $10,000 against the man in district icourt and he had appealed it. The state- ment which she signed was to the effect that she had been induced by her attorneys to commence the action and prosecute it to a finsh, but she now wished to drop it. She also sald thy her attorneys were to get half the judgment, or §5,000. Today her attorney, Senator Healey, filed with the su- preme court a motion to set aside the sub- mission of the case and enter up afirma- tion of the judgment, and If this is done there will be nothing left for Anderson but to pay tho judgment to his present wife through the courts and permit the clerk to pay the fee of the attorneys. The motion was made on the ground that since the marrigge of the litigants the husband is not in a position to prosecute the case againet the plaintiff on appeal and the case cannot be allowed to go to the court for conclu- slons. No simllar state of affairs is on rec- ord in the courts of Jowa settling a case in this manner. Falled to Mulet Rallroad.
