NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Claims Of the City Against the Motor Com
pany Remain Uncolleoted.
CITIZENS ARE TIRlNG OF THE DELAY
They Think the Time Has Come TOR Set
tlement, and Are DESTROYS that the
Case lie Pnshcd-A Large
Amount Involved.

Why has not the city collected from the
motcr company the =, 600 due for paving the
tracks at the street Intersections That is
a couundrum asked by many citizens, and to
which no very satisfactory answer can be
found Private citizens with like claims
have sued and got Judgment and yet the
citys claim is apparently not much nearer u
settlement than it was four or five years
ago.
City Attorney Ha2clton was asked about
it yesterday. He said that he was willing
TO take the responsibility ON himself for any
delays that had occurred since he had been
in Office. The ease was set for hearing at
the last term Of court, but was continued on
the motion of the motor company. Since
thou it has been continued by agreement
from time to time and Is now set for
the 18th. Mr.. Hazelton said further, that
he was under ho personal obligation
to the motor company, not even to the eX-
tent % pass lie wanted it distinctly un-
dcrstoo1. also, that Judge McGCC of the su-
pcrior court was not In any way responsible
for dlS delays in the matter.
ANY attempt to throw the res possibility of
delays upDu Judge MrGcc docs, in fact, seem
nonscnsical, because since the petition was
filed he has held fifteen terms of court, at
any one of which the litig;Ints could have
pressed for hearing ii they had been very
anxious to try the case.
Mayor Lawrence says that over since he
came into office he has been doing what he
| could 10 secure u settlement of the case He
! has NJ fault TO hnd with Judge McGCe, and
says Shat the CilN attorney has assured nm
! from time 10 time that he was proceeding as
! rapidly aa possible with safety to the city S
! interests. In fact, hu did not think that any
! one was ~ fault and expected that ere long
| the case would be reached and tried, and
! that it would finally result IN the citys
! favor.
! The ease is now set for January l6.. but

KNON- BOYD COUNTY BOUNDARY.

NIoBRARA, Ncb, Jan. S.-To the Editor of
THE BEE In his decision of the Norton
Kruse contest, Judge Maxwell seems to have
overlooked very important historical data.
When ex-senator Saunders bill to
"straighten the northern boundary OF Ne
brasSa" became II law. March 2S 1882 it
took Il slice from Dakota territory north of
the kcya Paha and Niobrara rivers east to
the Missouri river. The bill provided that
it should not become part of Nebraska
until the Indian title was extinct. AT the
special session of the legislature in May,
1882, the state fulfilled its part by accepting
this annexation. In 1873 the boundaries of
Knox county We're set apart with the pro-
vision that it should not take effect "until
the president of the United States shall, by
proclamation, declare the Indian title to the
unorganized territory transferred to Knox
county by this act eXtnguished, and until
the majority of the legal voters of Knox
county give their assent to the transfer of
said unorganized territory in the manner
provided by law" which it did. (See laws
of Nebraska 1888 page 20l.) Holt county,
however, failed to accept the transfer as re-
quired, leaving the only unorganized terri
tory attached to it a small piece between the
Niobrara and keya Paha rivers, known as
Turtle precinct.
Turtle precinct has always been part of
Nebra aSlla, and there is no question as to
Holt couuty's jurisdiction over that. But
tory that belonged to Dakota territory, and
not part of Nebraska until the president S
proclamation issued October 23, 1890, which
declared the Indian title extinct. Knox
county had a county division on hand that
fall, and Niobrara's citizens were very par
ticular regarding that vote prior to the re-
ceipt of the presidents proclamation, and it
would never have been voted without it.
AS it was, the case which Niobrara espoused
at that time was lost, continuing the county
as it always has been and now is.
School districts 81 and SS are in Boyd
county, numbered from Knox county dis
tricts in rotation, but were established by our
county superintendent, and these two dis
tricts are included in the state apportion-
ment from Knox, it being apparent thai Holt
! county never owned its new offspring, ex-
cept Turtle precinct which has always been
in Nebraska.
BY looking at the old maps prior to 1882
the true boundary of the state can be seen,
the Boyd county strip having been put in
after the Saunders bill had passed, and one
is liable to forget how we used to look.

20 Prevent rlckct scalplns.

The daktugraph, or thumb-written
ticket, is the outcome OF II Detroit
genius efforts to defy the scalper.
1t is well known that the lines in tho
cuticle OF no two thumbs are alike.
The inventor of the new ticket takes
advantage of this fact by requiring the
purchaser OF n coupon tickettto make n
print OF his thumb in II blank space at
one end reserved for this purpose.
The extremity OF this space, which is
about three inches long, is gummed, so
that after the thumb Signature is made
the end OF the ticket may be folded over,
hiding the signature from view.
On the return journey the conductor
opens the gummed end, exposing the
imprint OF the thumb, and requires the
holder to make another imprint of his
thumb alongside the first for idcntiica-
tion.
The conductor is expected TO carry a
little pad OF culoriug matter to enable
the passenger to perform this duty.
1t is not stated whether the railroad
company will require its representative
to carry II wash basin for the cleansing
OF the thumb after being used us Il

shower of Monster Hailstoncs Occurs II
Texas.

A shower of Monster Hailstoncs Occurs In
Texas.
The recent hail storm near Gay Hill
occurred about 4:30 p. m, Tuesday, 9th
inst, says the Galveston News. About
p. IN. heavy clouds appeared in the
west and as they slowly approached II
roaring sound was heard, such as usu-
ally indicates u coming hail storm,
Lightning, accompanied by distant
thunder, suggested an unusual storm,
About six miles distant from my point
OF observation the clouds divided. \
light-colorcd cloud passed from the
more dense cloud toward the southeast,
while the latter continued its course to-
ward the east This cloud brought with
1T n deiuge of rain. but far above it at
high altitude was another cloud OF II
piniish cast, which moved also toward
the east.
A few minutes after the rain COM
menced small huilstoues fell, and each
moment larger ones fell than tho pre-
ceding, until they re ached the size OF
| small hen eggs. After falling for about
fifteen minutes the hail aud rain ceased
| for probably two minutes. Then it com
menced again to rain heavily and con-
tinued for probably ten minutes, with II
higher wind, and it was during this in
terval that the wonderfully large hail
| stones Tell.
This remarkable hail fell in large
Jumps, ranging from three to six inches
in diameter. l heard of one piece, eight
inches in diameter, which weighed four
! pounds. They were,'as rule, spherical
! in form, but some were somewhat Hat,
and nearly all were covered with oval
knobs They fell in small areas about
| two feet apart, while in other places
only one would fall in space OF twenty
feet square. The average under my OBJ
! servation was about one hailstone to
every three feet square. The earth was
thoroughly saturated with water, and
some OF the large pieces penetrated tho
| ground in soft places about three inches.
[ gathered about u bushel OF the larg-
est pieces after the rain ceased, and in a
very little while placed them in Il sack,
which | put in box and packed hay
around without special care. Some OF
the pieces | exhibited in Brennan, for
the reason that preferred to give ocular
demonstration in proof of the statement
1 made in relation to the size of the hail.
After forty-two hours several OF the
pieces were seven inches in crcumfer-
ence. At this date eleven days after it
fell) about quart of the hail remains.
Its density is so great that believe it
will keep If you should wish sample.
A most remarkable fact in connection
with these large hailstones is that some
of them have particles of dirt in the
center. The question is: How did the v
get there?

demonstrated her ability as an actress of
merit Miss Elting ably divided the honors
with Mr Vessels. She is Il pretty, winsome

dition to the company and an excellent ac-

Shrewu Swintllprs,

it is making no headway against the
most important of all frauds which are
conducted through the mail, namely,
the green goods" business. In fact.
this nefarlous industry seems to be grow.
ing rapidly. From time to time one or
more of the Grimm ais engaged in it may
be arrested but these few are only tools
employed by big swindlers, against
whom no convincing evidence
can be obtained. II, is posi-
lively known that the whole of
thi" fraudulent enterprise, which ex-
tends its OF erations all over the United
States, is conducted by single gang in
New York, the head of which is some-
what notorious sporting man. But so
artfully are matters conducted that the
workers who act as agents have no ac-
