All the testimony was about in last even

relative to the amount claimed as damages
because the defendant did not own a con-
trolling interest in the Fire Escape Manu-

overruled by the court. The case has now
dwindled down to two issues. the claim of
Evans for the 50 900 salary and his damages
for the purchase of the stock in the COM
pany.

CARES FOR OTHERS INSANE
Pottawattamie County Looks After In
dgent Lunatics from Outside,
COMMISSION wsARlsS OF THE PRACTICE
IIna II Case Which Offers II Good OPP
portmnlty for II Test Against
Fremont County and
VIII Pu II {.

The case Of VI. j. Tidd, pauper suffering
from paresis, is being investigated by the
commissioners of insanity and is liable
tc result in some determined efforts being
made to stop the dumping of paupeIs and
insane patients into Pottawattamie county
from other parts of the state Tidd was
sent up from Randolph, Fremont county,
to be taken care of by the authorities here
He is a physical wreck, but was able to
tell how he managed to get here, He said
that he was placed on the train by the
authorities there, who paid his fare. He
had been a resident of Fremont county for
sixteen years, but had been sent to Nicola,
this county. about two years ago, in order
that he might join his wife. From the
story told by Tidd his wife had deserted
him at that time and he had been sent after
her. From Nicola his wife came to Council
Bluffs and he again followed her. Her next
move was to Mapeton. where she now is.
From here Tidd went to Randolph about
three weeks ago He has relatives living
there, among them is William Wolf, hus-
band of Tidds niece. Wolf Tidd states,
was instrumental in sending him back to
this county as a public charge.
This part of the story Is borne out by
letter that A. 7. Flickinger, one of the
commissioners received about a week ago
from Wolf, asking that the county pay $3.50
in order to defray the expenses of sending
Tidd back to his friends in Ohio. Wolf
promised to release Pottawattamie county
from any further responsibility in caring
for his uncle His request was refused and
Tidd shipped out of Randolph back to
Council Bluffs
The records of the oveseer of the poor
show that Tidd and his family had been
county charges for some time and that
they had come here from Fremont county
AS the county authorities were too lenient
in the matter he was allowed to remain, and
the commissioners of insanity are now in
a quandary whether Tidd is really a citizen
of this county or of Fremont.
DR.. Thomas said last evening that the
present case would be thoroughly investi-
gated, and that II 1t was found that the facts
were substantially true as stated above Tidd
would be sent back to Fremont county and
| the matter placed in the hands Of County
Attorney Saunders to look after. Pottawat-
tamie county has been frequently imposed
| upon and has cared for paupers and insane
| patients shipped in from other places. Cen
orally, said DR. Thomas the persons sent
here are In such a terrible plight that it
would be inhuman not to harbor them for
a time Both DR. Thomas and Mr. Flckin-
ger stated that they favored making a test
case as soon as possible, and If Tidd's story
proves to be true, action may be brought
| ties there to care for him and stand the
expense the county here has already been
| put to in the matter.
| Tidd was kept at the county Jail last night
and his case will be further investigated
| this morning

Herman Parr In Health Again.

Herman Parr, the moterman who was in
the terrible smashup that resulted from a
collision between a motor car and a freight
train on the Burlington tracks two years
ago has recovered from the effects of the
dreadful injuries he received at that time.
Mr. Parr partially recovered from the ef-
feets OF the accident, and for nearly year
performed his duties, but last summer he
had a sudden and dangerous relapse. He
was taken to ST, Bernard's hospital, and
for a long time his life was despaired of.
At one time he was reported to be dead and
his friends We're arranging the details OF
his funeral. Mr.. Parr had the pleasure OF
seeing some of the flowers that had been
ordered for his funeral and of reading his
obituary notice In the papers.

The mayor, city engineer and several OF
the aldermen spent few hours yesterday
on Lower Broadway watching the work of
putting in the Stag macadam in the sixteen
foot roadway that is to extend from the
Northwestern to the end of the street.
The city officials watched the work with a
good deal of interest and then began to
investigate the material that was being
used. They discovered that a greater part
of the Stag was of such extremely brittle
a nature that it could readily be broken
with the fingers. The officials feared that
this would not make a very durable base
Part of the Stag is very tough, and resists
the blows of the hammers most stubbornly,
but much of it is reduced to pile OF small
brilliant black cubes at the lightest stroke
There was some disposition to interfere with
the contractor until it occurred to the Wis
itors that this material was being used
only for the base, and would not be subject
to breakage after the work was completed
There is a probability that some recon-
mendations will be made at the regular
meeting of the council Monday night

Several days ago f. A. Ward. a Union
Pacific clerk who lives at 1909 Fourth ave
nue., was reported by his friends to be suf-
fering from the effects of a fall on the ice
He continued in a dazed condition and con
cussion of the brain was feared. He has
recovered his normal condition and is now
certain that his injuries were not due to
fall on the ice, but from a blow with n
sandbag in the hands of a footpad. The in
jury showed the effects of blow on the top
and back of the head in such a position
that it could not have been the result of
a fall. Then Ward has no recollections of
having fallen or how the injury was inflicted.
The marks of the blow are now very promi-
nent in the form of large confusion and
swelling. The injuries were received on
Saturday night, the day Ward should have
drawn his monthly pay. He had, however,
neglected to get his check and had nothing
in his pockets.

Nebraska and the northern part Of Mig
souri, met at the Grand hotel last night
Just what their business was they refused
to state and the doings of the session, which
was held behind the closed door Of the
ordinary of the Grand hotel, could not be
learned. The presiding genius of the star
chamber session was w. II. Chambers Of
Hepburn, Ia, secretary OF the National Grain
Dealers association. With seeming reluCt-
ance he stated that the corn crop of Iowa
was In bad shape and that its condition
was the object OF much concern to the
shippers and dealers. The continued rains
Of the summer and fall had made the season
bad for the rlpenirg of tho grain.

ing were; Fred l.. Harris and j. c. UT OF

Many of those in attendance last even
ing were here last June at the meeting OF
the Western Iowa Grain Shippers associa-
ton. They denied that they were here on
any business connected with that organize
tion, claiming that they were to dscuea
matters relating to the national associa-
tion and that Mr. Chambers was here tu
present the matter When asked IL the
shippers We're contemplating any demand on
the railroads for a rebate in the rates, Mr..
Chambers said they were not and that they
were perfectly satisfied with the present
17-cent rate. He acknowledged that there
were number of the elevator interest
represented at the meeting and that the
knowledge of the meeting might cause some
misunderstanding between the shippers and
the dealers who were not connected with
the elevator business.
