Secures settlement with S"nIOOnISeep-
ers and Withdrnws His Suits.
Although DEGREES granting permanent in
functions under the Iowa liquor laws have
been made by Judge Smith, Sheriff Morgan,
whose duty 1t is to enforce the orders of
the court, has never yet seen anything in
the shape Of an execution by which he can
proceed to enforce the courts orders. This
execution must come from some person in
terested in the prosecution of the cases,
and j. j. Shea Is the only person in Council
Bluffs who has such an interest. Shea ap-
peared yesterday and asked to have two of
the injunctions set aside. One of the cases
dismissed was that against G. A. Mathyen,
who conducts a saloon on the corner of Bry-
ant street and Broadway, and e. e. Sanborn
the owner of the building. The saloon
keeper asserted that he had a receipt from
Shea, showing he had settled with the at
torney early in March, and the appearance
docket in the clerks office shows that Shea
noted the dismissal of the case on March
B. Shea, II seems. overlooked both his re-
ceipt for the money paid to him by the sa-
loon keeper and his notation on the docket,
for on April IA he took a default In the same
case on the grounds Of want OF answer.
Two other cases. which were presumably SET
tied In the same way, involved the saloon
privileges Of James Rubeg and his landlord,
Anna Wittengiil, and III. Hagedon of Under
wood. Sheriff Morgan has been ready to
discharge his duty without fear or favor,
but permission to do so is denied him. Judge
Smith Is equally powerless to enforce the
DEGREES against the consent of the attorney,
who is plaintiff in the ~ffty-odd cases.

WAITE WILL DE TRIED NEXT wEEK
Pension Examiner Secures "a Writ of
Hnbcns COrpus.


DUBUQUE, Ia, June 4.-Judge Shiras OF
the United States district court, sitting here
today, granted a writ of habeas corpus In
the case Of Special Pension Examiner Waite
of Minneapolis. The case will now be heard
by Judge Skiras at the term of the United
States court which opens at Fort Dodge
June s.
The application of Examiner Waite for 4
writ of habeas corpus recites that the ap-
plicant was convicted in Howard county in
the district court of intimidating a witness
in the Andrus pension case, and was fined
$3.50. The decision was upheld by the Iowa
supreme court. Examiner Waite, in order to
bring habeas corpus proceedings, surrendered
to the sheriff of Howard county. The APP
plication alleges that the Iowa courts acted
without jurisdiction, because the offense al
legged is covered by federal statutes and was
committed, If at all, while Waite was acting
in the capacity of a federal officer, for which
reason Jurisdiction lies exclusively with the
United States district court for the northern
district of Iowa.

Sidewalks Must BE Repaired.

A recent inspection of the wooden side
walks by Street Commissioner Ross shows
that in many places the stringers have rotted
away while the top boards are practically in
good condition. This will necessitate the lay
ing of new walks and will add an additional
expense to the taxpayers. Some OF the walks
have been down for five or six years and
while the planks have been replaced from
time to time, no attention has been paid to
the stringers, which are now too rotten to
hold nails. Quite a number of property own
ers are inclined to object to laying new walks
at the present time, but unless the work Is
done the city will do it and charge the cost
UP against the property.
