SIDEWALKS T0 BE UNIFORM Oouncil Declines to Allow Brick or Granite to Be Used for Driveways. WEST END REMONSTRANCE IS FILED Mayor Denles Knowledge of Plan to Colonise the Searlet Women in that Section of the City. Varfous matters In connection with the cement sidewalks which are being laid on Broadway and Main street to re- | place the olt brick walks occupled the greater part of last night's city council meeting. Requests from several property owners to be permitted to place brick driveways Instead of cement were turned down, a8 was a request to construct a driveway of granite block on the south side of Broadway between Ninth and Tenth streets. The council decided that all drive- ways must be of cement to conform with the sidewalks. The motor company, which is prepar- ing to replace the trestle bridge over the slough at the east approach to its road | to the bridge over the Missourl with an embankment was given permission to pave about sixty feet of Broadway with granite block to conform with the remainder of the approach to the bridge. Joseph Waite filed a claim for $250 dam- ages for injuries alleged to have been re- celved by falling Into the hole at Ridge and Plerce streets. Chairman Lougee of the judiclary committee recommended that the claim be rejected and this was done. This is the same hole which was respon- sible for the $3,00 damage suit brought against the city yesterday by Charles W. Smith, Alderman Lovett reported that the Ter- minal company's bridge, now In process of reconstruction, was not closed to pedes- trians, but to vehicle trafc. When the copy of the resolution adopted by the West End Improvement club pro- testing against the location of disreputable resorts in the western part of the city was read Mayor Morgan stated that he had no knowledge of such alleged contemplated movement and the communication was or- dered recelyed and placed on file without further comment . Some amusement was afforded when a communication denouncing Aldermen Lougee, Casper and McDonald for alleged discourtesy to the representatives of the West End club at a previous meeting was read by the clerk. The only comment was made by Alderman McDonald, who stated that In his opinion the communication was a fit subject for investigation by the grand jury. The communication or complaint, which filled two sheets of typewritten mat- ter, was ordered placed on file. M. Marcus reported that lots owned by him on Avenue G, between Eleventh and Twelfth streets, were still under water and he was unable to begin bullding on them, as he contemplated. The city en- gineer was Instructed to dig a ditch so a8 to drain the water in that vicinity. An amendment to the ordinance so aa to extend the fire Umits to inelude the Steéin- kop property/at the ¢orner.of North Main street and Washington avenue was read the second time and laid on the table. Mr. Steinkop protested agamst the measure, which had been prompted, he said, by nelghbors who were opposed to his bullding @ hayshed on his premises. Matters in Distriet Court. George L. Cooper, a leading merchant of Neola, this_county, made the allegation that a pool existed to fix the price of hogs on the market of his town and to depress the price to an unfair figure, and that, in fact, the pool had succeeded in doing so. This allegation was made by Cooper in the Neola Reporter of October 16, and the result Is that Cooper has been made defendant In an action for libel in which A. A. Dorn and J. E. McGinty, a firm of hog buyers, ask for $1,000 damages. Charles W. Smith began suft In the dis- trict court yesterday against the city of Council Bluffs, claiming damages in the sum of $3,00 for injuries alleged to have been recelved by falling luto a hole in the intersection of Ridge and Plerce streets caused by the recent flood. The accident occurred on the night of September 23, when Smith was leading ' team hitched to @ moving wagon down the street. Smith fell into the hole with the horses on the top of him. Judge Green yesterday advised Clerk Reed of the district court that the petit jury for the November term, which had been sum- 3,500 | moned for November 2, would be required to be in attendance November 10. This change fs due to the lack of equity cases, which will result in the law docket being taken up earller than had been expected. Plumbing and heating. Bixby & Son. ——— Robbers Visit Dr, Tinley. The residence of Dr. M. A. Tinley at 26 Avene E was broken into yesterday @fterncon and robbed during the absence Of the family. The thief secured a num. ber of articles of jewelry and a small sum of money The robbery is presumed to have been committed by a man representing himself to be a frult tree agent, who called about 4 o'clock just as Mrs. Tinley and the mem- bers of the family were lehving the house. When they returned shortly before § o'clock they discovered that the house had been broken into and two rooms had been thoroughly ransacked. Entrance to the house had been obtained by the thief through a rear cellar window. The door leading from the cellar to the kitchen had been opened by kicking a panel eut, That an adjoining room to the two ransacked and in which was considerable jewelry, had not been molested is taken to indicate that the thief was disturbed before he com- pleted his work. . Among the jewelry taken was a brooch set with pearls, pin with diamond setting, ®old ring, opal stud, ring set with opals and dlamonds, and gold cuff buttons. Dr. Tinley, who is major In the Fifty. fifth regiment, Jowa National guard, is at the Fort Riley maneuvers, Boy Acecldentally Shot, Jobn Fisher, the 16-year-old son of John |Fisher of 21 Avenue C, was shot by a youthful companion while out hunting near the eastern limits of the city Sunday even- ing.

But in this case, which came from: Story county, It was shown that the engineer was unable to 8top his train at Slater because the brakes wauld not work, and the court holds that penal statutes of this character must be construed in the light of the Jntent of the person violating: The case is therefore re- versed. ite Court) Deeint, The following are the decisions an- nounced by the court today: B.
