Zeth Hughes, teamster who lives near
st. Bernard hospital, went home drunk last
night and abused his wife with so much ado
that the report first got out that he had
killed her. She was, in fact, not seriously
hurt, but her shrieks and screams attracted
many of the neghbors, who, when they ran
into the house to assist her, were run cut
by the infuriated husband. They, however,
succeeded in preventing further violence to
her and Hughes was carried off to jail
This high south wind and the clouds of fly
Ing dust broke the hearts of the wheelmen
yesterday. Many long rides were planned
and had to be abandoned. The dust is so
deep on the country roads that out-of-town
excursions are too unpleasant to be thought
OF. The road to Manawa is the only abso-
lutely perfect bit OF track in the vicinity of
Council Bluffs The gumbo is as smooth as
asphalt and with not enough dust upon it to
leave track. 1t was the track most used
by wheelmen yesterday
The water in the Gilbert lake is three
feet deep and anxiety about the big reser-
voir holding water has been removed. The
seepage around the base of the embankment
is considerable and the trench that has been
made on the north and east sides to carry II
away seems to be pouring into the lake a
stream almost large the pipes, but de-
spite this apparent big leakage the water
rises almost an inch day. The success OF
tho big pond is a source of extreme gratiica-
tion to City Engineer Etnyre, who planned IT,
and Andy Graham, who superintended the
work.
The trouble over the ownership of fishnet
claimed by a fisherman named Kramer living
near Lake Manawa has resulted in Al Rack
WITT and Tom Brown being pound over to the
grand Jury to answer the charge of stealing
it. Just now, when the United States fish
commissioner has announced his determina-
tion to look into the many violations of the
fish laws reported from Lake Manawa, the
ownership of fishnet may not be a desirable
thing to acknowledge. Scores Of wagon loads
of fish have been seined from the lake during
the past season and sold openly on the streets
Of Council Bluffs and Omaha. People in
terested in the lake have secured promise
from the federal fsh commissioners to stock
the waters again with game fish next season,
and after this is done seinng will be hazard
Gus business for the next two or three years.
