THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, BEPTEMBER 6 COUNCIL BLUFFS. BACKS UP ON INJONCTION Qreat Western Decides to Acospt Assess- ment Made by State Board SAVE MUCH MONEY BY THIS COURSE Auditor Innes Threatems to Asses Right of Way as Real Estate, Placing Valuation at Price Pald for Property. The Great Western railroad is now will- ing that the nssessment placed on it by the state executive council be spread on the tax books of Pottawattamie county for 198, Late yesterday afternoon it authorized Saunders & Btuart, its local attorneys, te dismiss the injunction suft brought last Thursday against the county. This action on the part of the raflroad in dtsmissing the injunction sult Is due to the course adopted by County Auditor Innes. When the notice of the injunction sult was served upon him Mr. Innes at once notified the attorneys for the Great Western at Fort Dodge that unless tho fnjunction was immediately withdrawn he would proceed forthwith, under the au-| thority bestowed on him by the laws of | the state, to assess all the real estate owned by the raflraad in this county and | for the basis of the assessment he would | take the amount of the consideration nameJ in the deeds as filed in the office of the county recorder. Early yesterday morning County Auditor Infies recelved a telegram from the rail- road's attorneys at Fort Dodge stating | that they had forwarded his ultimatum to the goneral attorney of the comphny at 8t. Paul and asking him not to take any further action untfl he could be heard from Late yesterday afternoon a telegram was recelved from State Senator Thomas D Healy, the Great Western's attorney at Fort Dodge, which read as follows: Have authorized Saunders & Stuart to dismiss suit enjoining board from spreading assessment of executive council. Your tele- gram of yesterday is appreciated. The Great Western in dismissing the in- | Junction sult took the short horn of the | dilemma. The state executive council as- sossed the raflroad at $1,000 a mile, the total assessment amountigg to a little over $28,000. It objcoted to the assessment, claim- ing that the executive council had no right to mako i, as the line was not in & com- ploted state on January 1, 1903. Representatives of the Great Western have always Insisted that upwards of $250,000 has been expended by the company in purchasing its right of way through Pottawattamie county and the city of Coun- oll Blufts, This being the case, the county auditor estimated that the assessment on its property in this city would have been placed at $150,000 actual value or nearly $40,000 taxable valuation. In the county the valuation would have been placed at $100,000 o §25,000 taxable valuation. Plumbing and heating. Mixby & Son. L% With the Churches. ‘With the return of Rev.

Plumbing Co. Te! M. Wight. Fes. omce: Sherift Morgan of Mills county, assisted by the local authorities, was rday | looking for Hart Allen, a young man charged decoying Florence Pollard, a 16- year-old girl from her home in Pacific Junction. The girl, who had been stopping for the last two days with a family named | Taylor at 1321 High street, was found on the streets. Her mother was notified and she arrived in the afternoon and took her daughter home. Young Allen had until recently been em- ployed in a drug store in Pacific Junction and a few days ago induced Florence Pol- lard to accompanying him to Malvern, Buy your carnival goods at DeLong’s and get votes in the boys’ gold watch voting cou- test, Harvey A, DeLong Printer 307 Broadway | night by the police as a suspicious char- ‘where they registered as man and wife at a hotel. From Malvern they went to Omaha, where they had been but one day when Allen left the girl saying he would meet her In Councll Bluffs during the street fair and carnival. The misguided girl, belleving in Allen's promise, came to Council Bluffs Thursday and secured a room with the Taylor fam- iy on High street. Young Allen, who had been in the employ of the druggist at Pacific Junction loss than a year, succeeded In banking over $1,00. The day beforo he left with Mies Poliard, Lowever, he turned over to his em- ployer $900, admitting that he had “knocked down" that amount while in his employ. Confesses to Burglary. Teddy Hayes, a mulatto, who had broken Into the waiting room of the passenger depot of the Milwaukee raflroad on Six- teenth avenue, was captured at am early hour yesterday morning by Special Officer Thomas Callaghan. The arrest proved to be an important one as subsequent develop- ments showed that Hayes was the party who broke into the baggage room of the Tilinols Central depot Thursdas night and opened a number of trunks. Hayes was taken Into custody Thursday acter, but after being questioned was re- leased. During the same night the baggage room at the Illinols Central passenger depot was enterea and several trunks broken open. From a trunk belonging to M Patsy Fallon of St. Louls, formerly Mis Maud McAllister of this city, the thief se- cured a valuable diamond sunburst brooch and a number of rare Canadian coins. The colns proved the undoing of Hayes. After Hayes was ocaptured in the Mil- waukee depot by Callaghan yesterday morning, & search of his clothing brought to light the coins stolen from Mrs. Fallon's trunk, but not the diamond brooch. After the cofns had been identified as those stolen from Mre. Fallon’s trunk, Hayes wah sub- Jected to another search and this time the diamend brooch, wrapped In tissue paper, was found concealed in the lining of his coat. & Confronted with the coins and the brooch Hayes confessed, but insisted that the rob- bery was committed by a negro and a white | man who broke Into the depot and handed out the booty to him. The police, however, place but little stock in this story. Hayes secured admission to the walting room of the Milwaukee depot by prying a window open with a stone cutter's chisel. He had forced open the cash drawer in the | ticket office but obtained nothing for h! trouble. When found by Officer c.uu:mn! he was in the act of going through a suit | case belonging to Conductor C. E. Zimmer, the contents of which' was found spread on the floor. When Officer Callaghan entered Hayes attempted to hide behind the door leading Into the ticket room. Boy Voting Contest.
