MORE INJUNCTION PETITIONS FILED Indications Origin & of Local that Trouble Had Its Effort to Secure Removal Agent of the Stors Company. The saloon fight in Council Bluffs is still on, and neither side appears willing to back down. If anything, the relations be- tween the warring factions became fur- ther strained yesterday, and no one is able to foretell the outcome. Disinterested parties attempted to effect a truce yester- day, but falled. As a starter for the day, Attorney Ben- jamin yesterday morning commenced in- Junction sults against the four remalning saloons owned by the Stors Brewing com- pany in this city, and .which, through some oversight, he had overlooked Mon- day. Then Attorney Wadsworth for the other side proceeded to the district court and filed the petitions in his injunction sults against the saloons owned by C. E. Poore, Ed Sherlock and C. B. Armour. The hearing on the application for tem- porary restraining orders in these cases 1s set for next Saturday. By the filing of the sult against the saloon conducted by C. E. Armour, it will be seen that the Krug Brewing company of Omaha is brought into the fight. Attorney Benjamin still declines to make public the identity of his cllents, and stated yesterday that possibly this would remain a secret throughout the entire pro- ceedings. On the other hand, Attorney Wadsworth stated that from information he had In his possession it was evident that the fight made by Benjamin and his “clients” was not so much against the Storz Brewing company as against the latter's local representative, W. A. Wells. The fight, Mr. Wadsworth sald, had been started by certaln saloon men who were opposed @ Wells, and that Attofney Ben- jamin had at one time since the fllng of the sults against the Blue Ribbon and Pinnell saloons offered to withdraw them providing the Storz Brewing company re- moved Wells from his position here, It 1s understood that the Storz Brewing company is standing back of Wells, and has refused to remove him. Mr. Wads- worth stated further, yesterday, that the sults brought by him against the other saloons was no bluff on his part, and that if the fight against the Storz saloons was persisted in every saloon in Councll Blufts would be closed, The city authorities are becoming alarmed, as the closing of the saloons would severely cripple the municipal finances. Mayor Morgan and Chiet of Po- lice Tibbits held a long conference with Attorney Wadsworth yesterday afternoon, but according to the mayor nothing re- sulted from it. ¥ Plumbign and heating.” Bixh¥ & Son.

The Board of County Bupervisors yes- terday decided to make further investign- tion before signing a walver of any claim against the government for unadjudicated swamp land refunds. The supervisors took the position that it there was anything coming from the government, Pottawatta- mie county might get it, however little it might be. While it is belfeved that the ex- pense attendant upon proving up any swamp land refund claims would amount to almost the entire refund, the board con- cluded’ that nothing would be lost by giving the matter further investigation, and this will be done today by County Attorney Killpack, who in company with Spectal Agent Holsingtgn of the general land of- fice will look éver the swamp lands in Crescent and Lewis townships. The bonds of the recently elected county officers, who will assume office January 1, were fixed as follows: County treasurer, $200,000; sheriff, $10, superintendent of schools, $1,000; surveyor, $2,000; coroner, $1,000; deputy sheriffs, $2,000; justices of the peace, constables and all other county officers, $1,000. Superintendent Rothert of the lowa School for the Deaf called the attention of the board In a communication to the dangerous condition of the road crossing Mosquito creek, near the old paper mill, especially the part between the tracks of the Milwaukee and Rock Island raflroads. In the matter of the claim of 8. H. Ford for $35 for storage of a stock of liquor seized under a search warrant from a jus- tice court in January, 100, the county at- torney gave it as his opinion that the county was not liable, and the claim was rejected. The Pacific Express company, which had been assessed for taxation by the state executive councll for operating the line of the Omaha Bridge and Ter:inal Raflway company, notified the board yesterday that it dld not operate over this line, and re- quested that the assessment accordingly be annulled.

OLD POLK COUNTY FEUD IS REVIVED Unidentified Parties Make an Attempt Upon the Life of John Pennell, 014 Man Who Lives Al ar Polk City. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Nov. 10.—(Special.)~The #ixth annual Conference of Charities and Corrections for lowa opened here this evening with fair attendance. The event of the evening session was the address of the president, Judge G. 8. Robinson of Sioux City, member of the Board of Con- trol, who presented a brief review of the work done. He spoke of true charity and pointed out ‘that it does not consist, of Indiscriminate giving of alms, but of judielous aid to the needy. He urged that laws should be made and sustained by an educated public sentiment, to prevent the unfon of men‘and women who, in consequence of well ascertained laws of nature would be apt to produce imbecile, diseased, viclous, or otheryise degenerate children. He spoke of the great work which has been done in Iowa for the de- pendent classes and added Although the state has hospitals for the insane it lacks adequate provision for the epileptics, for the tubercular, the crip- led. The state has no provision in its aws for the proper treatment of juvenile oftenders, who should not be imprisoned nor be permitted to associate with habit- ual criminals. The state has industrial schools and penitentiaries, but lacks the intermediate prisons to which the voung convicts, not hardened by repeated crimes and not beyond appeals for better living, may be sent and there separated from the habitual offenders, be instructed in books and trades, trained in habits of in- dustry and be given the power and the inclination to suppart_themseives by hon- est work and to be law abiding citizens. The conference was welcomed to the eity by Governor Cummins. During the meet- ing there will be a large number of papers and addresses by prominent students of soclology and the discussions are expected to take a wide range. 014 Feud in Central Towa. An old feud has broken out near Polk City in this county and a third attempt was made last night to murder John Pen- nell, a defenseless, but wealthy old man. Pennell is a miser and lives alone, but he has incurred the enmity of a number of persons. He Incurred the violent fll will of a near relative many years ago and that relative was afterwards mur- dered. Last night a stranger appeared at his window and threatened him with a revolver. Pennell sprang from his bed and a fight followed and the intruder fell to the ground. Several shots were fired at him in the dark and Pennell does not know whether any injury was Inflicted. About twenty-two years ago Robert Stubbs, a son-in-law of Pennell, was murdered and a feud between families followed. Other relatives have been drawn into the 2 {trouble from time to time and it s be- lieved that the attempts on Pennell's lite have been more from revenge than from any desire to rob him. Efforts are being ade to find th¢ person or persons who attacked Pennell jast night.

Postmaster Goes Wrong. Cornellus M. Robinson, postmaster at Morley, Jones county, was arrested today and taken before a United States commis- siomer on a charge of falling to account for about §1,100 {n cash that belonged to the government. He had taken the money, so it is allcged, a little at a time, and his shortage was not discovered until quite re- cently. He left when the facts becamg known and had been at large some time and was not arrested until today. In the district court today Judge Howe held that the trustees of the North Des Moines Methodist Episcopal church were not gullty of fraud. They had purchased the Prospect Park Methodist Episcopal church, against which there was a claim of $16,000, and the holder of the cfalm at- tempted to enforce it against them on the ground that abandonment of the old or- ganization and formation of the new was for the purpose of committing fraud.
