CRAWFORD LOSES ONE POINT Court Decides Formation of Drainage Ditoh i is:riets Was Regul QUESTION OF CONTRACT NOT PASSED ON Appraisers Named to Assess Benefits Make Report Show! Deficit for County to Pay. l Harrison At the conclusion of the arguments yes- terday’ afternoon in the sult brought by Logan Crawford to restrain the authori- ties of the two countles from proceeding Wwith the construction of the Harrison-Pot- tawattamie county drainage ditches Judge | Thornell dismissed the petition of the plain- Ut insofar as it related to the action of the supervisors in establishing the ditches. Judge Thornell held that the action of the superyisors in creating and establishing the ditches was perfectly, legal. Judge Thornell's ruling does not, however, put Crawford entirely out of court, as the case is continued for a hearing on the ques- tion as to whether there was fraud or illegality in the letting of the contracts by the auditors of Harrison and Pottawattamle | Smith, when Smith and Brown & Co. shall be brought into court and made parties to the proceedings. H. H. Field and Jacob Hansen, the com- missioners appointed to appraise the bene- fits which the abutting property will derive from the construction of the drainage ditches in Pottawattamle county, filed their report yesterday with County Auditor Innes. The report covers the Willow creek, | Allen creek and Boyer river cutoff ditches and is signed also by 8. C. Eshelman and J. H. Royer, the commissioners appointed by Harrison county, and by Morris Me- Henry, county surveyor of Crawford county, cppointed to act in conjunction with the commissioners from the two. coun- tles. The report filed with Auditor Innes, however, only deals with the benefits de- rived by land {n Pottawattamie county. The commissioners find that the total | benefits to land from the ditches in this county will amount to $21,269, or ahout $9,000 less than it is estimated the cost of construetion in Pottawattamie county will be. The difference will have to be made up by assessment on lands benefited In Harri- son county. The commissioners figure that { | benefited by the ditches and their computa- tions of benefits are based on forty-acre divisions, % In arriving at the appralsement of bene- fits the commissioners divided the land to be benefited into four classes, as follows: Dry, which they assessed at $1.60 an acre, low, assessed at §2.10 an acre; wet, assessed at $2.60 an acre; swamp, assessed at $3.10 an acre. The general supposition is that the Boards of Supervisors of the two counties will issue fifteen-year bonds to pay for the con- struction of the ditches and by this way the burden falling on the owners of the land benefited will be extremely lght. It is figured that by the issuance of fifteen- year bonds the annual payments of the owners’ of Jand assessed will not amount t0 more than about 14 or 15 cents an acre annually for the fifteen years.

CLOSE THE HARRISON SCHOOL Many Children Affected with Skin DA e Which Renders Actl Necessary, A skin disease termed “Impetigo Conta- glosa” by the medical fraternity, has broken out among the puplls of the Har- rison Street school. One teacher and thirty the children are ed to be Infected with the disease. At a speclal meeting of the Board of Education yesterday after- noon the bullding, desks and books were ordered thoroughly disinfected and the pu- pils affected will be required to remain h6me until completely cured. It is sa!d that the disease has been more or lags prevalent In the school ever since h the opening of the new school year and in fact that several of the children were ! suffering from Jt when the schools closed | for the summer vaecation last Junme. 8o many of the children became affected with it that an Indignation meeting of the moth- rs was held Thursday, when it was de- | cided to call the attention of the school | board to it. This was done and City Phy- | 4siclan Houghton and Drs. D. Macrae and J. | M. Barstow were called upon by the board | to make an Investigation At the meeting of the board vesterday Dre. Macrae and Barstow reported that they had found about thirty children suf- fering from “an infectious disease of the #kin, due to a germ which enters the skin of the subject by contact with others with the same disease or by coming In c'oss relation with books, dests, etc., which may have been infected by those suffering with the disease. Prevention by disinfect- ing the desks, rooms, ete., and isolating the affected children. The disease is re- | lleved by proper treatment in a short time." City Physic'an reported as follows: “Con cerning the disease prevalent in the Har- rison Street school the dlagnosis Is eczemy in one of its many forms.

Inasmuch as the defendants had answered denying the facts stated by the bar committee it was claimed that there was nothing to do but dismiss the cases of contempt and leave the matter to be dealt with by the grand jury. The grand jury has not yet taken up the cases since the contempt cases are hanging fire, but will do so later, The defendants also made an effort to prevent Judge Given of the dis- trict court, whose term will soon expire, and who had previously been chief justice of the state five times, having charge of the cases on the claim that they should come before thé particular judge who was trying the cases when the alleged contempt occurred. Both these contentions were held not good and the cases will come before the court for trial next week. The contempt cases in connection with jury fixing are the first of the kind ever tried In the state and are therefore attracting much atten- Mr rty of young people to Mayne's lake onday evening.

Willlam Morris | The court held that the money is still in the control of the federal ‘government, as it was merely pald to the guardian of the fn- sane soldier, and. therefore it cannot be reached. But the court intimates, rather than decides, that even if the money was in the hands of the pensioner in his own right, even then under the Iowa laws it could not be touched for taxation purposes, as it was all derived from pensions. Ths amount involveéd is about $2,000 in taxes. Quest! of Error in Notice. In the case of Fleming agairst Hagar, the court today decided that an error in the description of, a tract of land In a notice on which there had been foreclosure; when the notice in other respects was suf- ficlent to make it certain what was meant, would not be a fatal defect. The land had been s0ld under the execution and no ef- fort was made to recover for six years, when the land had enormously increased in value.

Getting Out of Race, The secretary of state today recelved notice of the withdrawal of Howard Everett, democratic candidate for member of the house for the Emmett-Dickinson district, and the substitution of the name of J. C. Guthrie, of Dickinson county, as the candidate. Guthrie is related closely to Dr. Q. C. Fuller, the unsuccessful rivel| of Representative Robinson for the re- publican nomination, The secretary of state also received a letter from H. N. Peckham, democratic nominée for the house in Hardin county, stating his desire not to make the race. The withdrawal was not in legal form, but it is expected Mr. Peckham will in fact withdraw, and this will leave the fleld clear for a fight between Willlam Weldon, fusion, and M. J. Furry, republi- can, In that county. Not to Bulld L In accordance with & telegraphic order received last night the contractors on the Rock Island extension from Winterset to Greenfleld quit work this morning and abandoned the grading of that new lne. The order for the stoppage of work came trom Davenport immediately following the general meeting of the Rock Island com- pany and it is suppbeed that the change of plans is due-to something which trans- pired at the general meeting. The grading has been going on for two months and it had previously been announced that the inst Joh running by the first of next year. Inas much as the company on one other odea- sion yan a line and did the grading and then stopped, theé people of Madison and Adair counties fear that this will be fate of the latest project.

The lad is cer- tainly unlucky and the last escapade is the culmination of several mishaps. To Start the chain he fell and fractured several bones. These had scarcely resumed their natural state befors he caught his finger in the gearing of the windmill, which ne- cessitated an amputation of the member. This had but healed when the nail aceident occurred. The lad was carrying the nall in his, mouth when he laughed and down went the nail. Aside from a few pains he has suftered no {ll, but the physicians can- not understand how it can pass safely through the Intestines. To complicate mat- ters the nail passed down his throat point first. He has been placed before an X-ray machine, but the nail was ot located.
