WATER TOO DISTANT FOR USE Loss Will Ren Up to Two Thousand Dollars—Olaff Hakenson's Cot- tage Destroyed flar Way. The residence of George W, Skinner, a fruit grower, living east of Canning street near the city lmils, was burned to the ground yesterday afternoon.. The family was away from home at the time the fire was discovered and the origin of the blaze is Ginknown. The house and contents were entirely destroyed, the loss being esti- mated at $2,000 on the dwelling and $1,000 on the furniture, with no Insurance. Two fire companies responded to the alarm, but were unable to save the dwell- Ing, owing to the high wind and the fact that the place was half a mile at least from the nearest fire hydrant. Portions of blazing shingles were carried a distancs of about four blocks by the wind and a house located about three blceks from the scene of the blaze was set on fire by the flying sparks. The neigh- bors, however, formed a bucket brigade and succeeded in extingulshing the blaze. A new frame cottage at Thirtieth street and Avenue J, owned by Oloff Hakenson, a grocer at 330 West Broadway, was de- stroyed by fire of unknown origin about midnight Thursday. The fire department responded to the alarm, but was powerless to save the building, as it was six blocks from the nearest water hydrant. The house had been occupled by a family named Reece until recently, but no one had been living in it for about & month, Mr. Haken- son carried $1,800 insurance on the hou APRIL 24, i910 Council Bluffs Crooks Busy in Council Bluffs Several Burglaries Are Reported and Patrolmen Are Urged to Exer- cise Vigilance. The number of burgiaries reported dur- ing the last few days led the police to suspect that a gang of professional crooks is making Council Bluffs its ‘‘hang-out” for the time being. Chiet Richmond fs- sued orders yesterday that the dragnet be thrown out and that all undesirable characters and all loafers without visible means of subsistence be taken into cus- tody. Shortly before midnight Thursday Charles Claar, a special officer, noticed two men in the warehouse of the Empkie- Shugart-Hill Hardware company on South Main street. While Claar telephoned to police headquarters H. ¥. Hobus, residing at 218 Story street, who happened to be passing at the time, was placed by Claar to ‘keep watch in front of the building. In the meantime the burglars quietly, but expeditiously, made their exit from a rear window, from which a pane of glass had been extracted and by which they evi- dently effected an entrance. When the police reached the place and mado a search of the premises with mem- bers of the firm, who had been sum- moned, it was evident that the thieves had been after firearms. The cases con- taining revolvers and rifles had been ran- sacked and the drawers containing cart- ridges had been overhauled. One revolver found on a counter had been fitted with cartridges of a caliber too large for the weapon and had been discarded. It s believed the thieves wers frightened away before they secured any booty, al- though & complets inventory of the stock would have to be taken in order to ascer- but places his loss at nearly double that amount, Young Greek Found Dead in His Bed Officials After Investigation Say.

Judge Wheeler to Deelde Whether Ditference Means Money. Because the pumpkins which they raised from seed furnished them by the Growers' Canning ¢ompany of Council Bluffs were “cow” pumpkins. instead of “large cheese” pumpking, Blizsard brothers, gardeners and fruit growers of this vicinity are plaintiffs In & suit- against the Canning company and the Younkerman Seed com- pany of this city, the trial of which was begun before Judge Wheeler in' the dis- trict court yesterday. The sut was origin- ally oft the law docket, but by agreement of both sides 1s being tried to the court without & Jury. It 1s now up to Judge O. D. Wheeler to glve an expert ruling on pumpkins. In 198 Blizzard Bros, entered into a contract with the Growers' Canning corn- pany to grow pumpkins for canning pur- poses, it belng part of the agreement that the canning company should furnish’ the seed. At the time that the ‘plaintitfs “were ready to begin operations the ,canning company found itself short of sedd and it 15, alleged, directed the Younkerman Seed company to furnish Blizzard Bros., with the requisite quantity of ‘“large cheese' pumpkin seed. The seed produced a bountiful erop of apparently fine pumpkins, but when Bliz- zard Bros., hauled the crop to the canning company’s factory, the foreman declined to accept it on the grounds that the pump- kins were of the ‘“cow” varlety and not suitable for canning purposes. Blizzard Bros,, were forced to haul the pumplins home again and not having a herd of dairy cows to which to feed them, the crop they claim was & dead loss. The Younkerman Seed company pleads in defense that it s0ld the seeds without any guaranty, that being the manner in which all seeds are sold by all seed com- panies. Blizzard Bros., sue for $2.50.
