Some of the old street cars which lave
gone out of use In Omaha have been sent

alb out time that Council Bluffs had some

get the street car line up Broadway was
going to result in more than talk. Yester-
day the measurements were being taken
SO that the company could make accu-
rate estimates of the expense of the pro-
posed extension.
The Avoca Delta gives the coroner,
Connsll, q great turning over, claiming
that at the time of the killing of Jack
Mayne he came down there and acted In
q very rowdyish manner One of the
troubles about Avoca and the coroner is
that Avocs acts as IL 1t was not a part of
this county, and never thinks of recog-

appreciative of the fact that he Is the cor
oner, and a failure to recognize him
hurts him more than 1t would many men.

from Omaha crossed the bridge on foot,
despite the Waterman, whom they oyer
powered. On reaching this side they
started on a run through the bottom
lands, and were given q lively chase by

was no use, for they would only be
turned loose again, and the city would be
out the cost of the express wagon hire In
bringing them up. 1t Is high time that
some arrangement was made by which
these fellows could be given a chance
to work for the benefit of the city and
themselves.

been drinking so heavily that he
does not know what he has been
