After serving sixteen months of an in- determinate sentence years in the state Madison from which he was paroled last July, August Carlson of this city now has the satisfaction of learning that the Iowa supreme court has reversed the finding of the, district court. Carlson was arrested January 20, 103, on the charge of passing a forged check on George L. Smith, saloon- keeper, and a few days later the grand jury returned an indictment against him. At the first trial the jury falled to agree and at the second trial held before Judge Macy the jury brought in & verdict of gullty. A motion for a new trial was over- ruled and Carlson was sentenced to an In- determinate term not exceeding years, bond Carlson was taken to Fort Madison, where he remained until July 30 of this year, when he was paroled and discharged. In the appeal several claims of error were made, but upon which the reversal by the supreme court was based will not be as- court is received here by Fremont Benja- min, Carlson's attorney. Carlson is a car- penter and since his parole was reunited to his wife and family, from whom he had been estranged for some time prior to his arrest. The supreme court in decfding the Carl- son case ruled upon technicalities, among others that there was a discrepancy of 3 cents between the amount of a certain forged check as showh in court and the amount stated in the indictment of Carl- son. But the court holds that the identity of the check is in doubt.

At the meeting of the city council last night Chairman Younkerman of the fire and light committee was “‘directed” to | dispose of the animal at onee and turn the carcass ‘over to Assistant State Veterin- arian Fred Hollingsworth of this oity, who with Dr. Baughman, assistant state veter- Inarian from Fort Dodge, on Adlrections from Btate Veterinarian Paul O. Koto, will Perform the post mortem. Councllman Younkerman refused to ad- | mit that the horse was suffering from glanders, despite the report of State Veter- Inarfan Koto and three of his assistants, which was that the animal had developed a chronlc case of the mallgnant disease. Mr. Younkerman, however, said the old horse was physically useless, suffering from ‘“rheumatic trouble.” He hinted that there was “something back” of the con- troversy between the state veterinarian and the local practitioner, who had re- fused to diagnose the case as one of glan- ders. When pressed by Councliman Jensen for an explanation he declined to answer. Councilman Jensen took the position that it was not for the city council to dlspute the word of the state veterinarlan and the animal ought to have been killed when orders to that effect were issued by Dr. ‘Kmo. It was on Mr. Jensen's motion that the committee, of which Mr. Younkerman 1s chairman, was directed to dispose of the animal without further delay. Dr. Bower, city health officer, submitted to the council a report from Charles N. Kinney, state chemist, who made an analy- sis of the water supplied by the City Water Works company. Tho test, however, was admitted by Prof. Kinney not to be a fair one, in that the sample of water was taken | when the river was high with flood water |and not in normal condition. The analysls |showed the presence of “considerable agae, animal life and suspended material.” The use of water under these conditions, Prof. Kinney stated in his report, would tend to ¢ause stomach and bowel trouble. The clerk was instructed to send a copy of the report and the letters from: Prof. Kinney to the water works company and ask what it intended to do to rectify the condition complained of. At the same time Mr. Bower was Instructed to send another sample of water taken under normal condi- tions to Prot. Kinney for analysls. The request of the West Council Blutfs Improvement club that the elty execute to it a deed to the lots on which its club house Is erected was complied with and the city attorney Instructed to prepare the necessary papers. Councllman Bellinger voted against this on the ground that the lots had been given the club by the city for the use of the club house, but were to revert to the city when not so used.

BACK | o BRINGING SALESMAN Neola Citizens Seek Interyiew with | Man Who Sold Them. Deputy Sheriff Waddington, aceording to a telegram recelved yesterdsy by Sherift MoCatfery, is on his way back from Sacra- mento, Cal, having in custody a man named MclIntyre, who is wanted hete on a charge of cheating by false: pretenses. | Melntyre, it is alleged, s0ld a quantity of | mining stock to certain persons in Neola, | Ia., for 50 cents on the dollar, on the repre- | sentation, It Is said, that a great deal of | work had been done on the property.. Now it 18 said that Melntyre had authority only to sell the stock at 10 cents on the dollar | and that he cleaned up about $1,600 by | overcharging the Neola people. An infor- mation was filed before Justice Cooper by Assistant County Attorney Ross agalnst | Melntyre about two weeks ago, but \n some manner the paper has become mis- 1aid and none of the officers remember the man’s Christian name. It is baid that Mc- | Intyre was arrested in Chlcago on a some- what similar charge and taken to Bacra- | mento, where he was tried and. dequitted, only to fall into the hands of .Deputy Sheriff Waddington, who was ‘providad with extradition papers. FUNERAL OF JOHN BENNETT Banks Suspena for Period of Services | for Late Cashier, | Banking business was _suspended in Council Bluffs yesterday afternoon out of respect to the memory of John Bennett, plonger resident and for twenty years| cashler of the State Savings bank, whose funeral was held at 2:3 o'clock from the tamily residence at the corner of Willow avenue and Bluff street.

HARD FIGHT WILL BE RESULT Work on Jett C Sewer Mas Begun—— nge in ¥Fire Alarm System Are ranged Embodying Di- rect Cal A resolution was introduced Monday In the session of the city council ordering the city attorney to prepare an ordinanco forelbly to annéx a strip of territory on the west of South Omaha and lying south of I street to the Douglas county lmits. annexation is pecullar, considering the at- titude of the local pollticlans toward that principle when exercised by any other seat of municipal government. The citizens of the west side, howevaer, were present with a vigorols protest on the ground that such an action on the part of South Omaha would fncrease the taxes and would divide the school district In half. There is an elght-room school house In that district. To thls argument the members of city council repled that if would not submit to annexation to S(‘\Hh‘ Omaha they would be annexed to Omaha. A representative of the seotlon then rose | and sald he had heird of this rumor and | had investigated and thought It false. €1d not care to annex the outlying districts. The ordinance will probably be introduced against the proposition will begin. No action was taken by the city souncil regarding the city fountain.

The National Construction company has begun work on the Jetter creek sewer, which Is the largest undertaking, with the exception of the Mud créek sewer, of any in the system. The work will consist of making the usual trench and the construc- tion of a six-foot sewer. The first excava- tion was begun Monday morning at a point about 200 feet east of Jetter's brewery. From that point the sewer will extend over 2,00 feet west and northwest. . The six- foot section will not be more than 400 or 50 feet long, but will be reduced as the work proceeds until it ends In an eighteen- meh pipe. East from the point where the work began abont 3,000 feet the connectlon will be made with the Mud creek sewer. This work will all be surface digging. All of the tunnel sections of the sewer system are completed. Magter. of Fire Hose, The financial sheet was passed, with the exception of the, bill for $2,00 fire hose, which was ordered through the activity of John Hasburgh without the request of the fire chief or the Board of Fire and Police commissioners. It wes agreed upon in committes to'pay 1t, but two councilmen stayed away from the meeting 8o that they might ot haverto o on record as voting for. the billky - The remaining members of the council-«Dwoidk, Hasburgh, John Lar- sen and Mast: Peterson—struck the itei from the list « They will compel the other members tggo -on record on the claim. An ordinance was introduced to grade O street from Twenty-sixih to the city limits This work will fill an enor- mous hollow east of Twenty-second street and the whole will probably cost $20,000 to $26,000. The South Omaha Water company pald its annuity in hydrants with the exception of a small balance amounting to $350. This was paid in cash. An ordinance was Intro- duced last week and advanced to second to pay this smail balance in hydrants. A protest was received which stopped the |rading of the alley between T'wenty-second and Twenty-third, between C and D streets. The sum of $300 was allowed Mrs. Flor- ence Belor for damages by reason of the {grading of S stréet trom Thirtleth to Thirty- | second, becauss ohe had not received the | yrougn which his daughter, [ proper legal notice of the intended lmprove- | ment. The claim of Charles Freed for damages disallowed. A special ordinance was mntroduced levy- ing the tax to pay the cost of paving E| street. duced. A new' petitién was Trecelved for the ordinance was introduced. The Nebraska Telephone company requested to designate South 0 as the num- |ber tor tire aarms. Fire Alarm System Changed. Since the Nebraska Telephone company has refused to gdeliver the fire alarms for | private parties’ over the regular service lines the city council has been seeking & solution of the matter, and has succeeded in getting the company to agtee to make the connection direct with the fire halls instead of repeating the call or springing the automatic alarm. In this way the company will bear no responsibility for errors in the directions given. In several cases the fire companies went Wrong, owing to mistakes of either the party calling, the operator or the fire company recelving the call. Parties wishing to re- port fires will call §, but the operatoy will simply eonhect up with the fire sta- tions direct. The fire stations have the ordinary telephone service for calls othar than fires. . Magio City Gossip. ndwall, Jeweler, 0! Paxton Block. C. N. George, Osteopath, 708 N. 24th. M.
