County Superintendent sawyer Sub
mits His Annual Report.
Prof, H. w. Sawyer. superintendent OF
schools of Pottawattamie county, completed
yesterday his annual report and it contains
a number of interesting facts and statistics
The county is divided into 215 districts
containing 15S graded and 231 ungraded
schools. The number of male persons be-
tween the ages of and q years is 1907 and
the number of females is 1892, making
total of 1859 persons of school age in the
county. OF this number 12 ,6S7 We're en-
rolled, the average daily attendance being
5, ,765. The discrepancy between the enroll
ment and the daily average attendance is
accounted for by the fact that during certain
seasons of the year the children, at least the
biggest of them, stay at home to ass st in
the farm work.
The average cost of tuition per pupil for
the year was $3.50. There are 259 school
houses in the county of the estimated value
of $411,S3O. The apparatus in the schools
is valued at s45997 There are 3,151 volumes
in the school libraries throughout the county,
while there are 1926 trees in the several
school yards.
There were $50 school teachers employed
during the year, of whom eighty-seven were
males and 493 females. The average pay
OF the males was S4o53 per month, while
that of the females was $33.12. The average
age of male teachers was 26 and of the
females %. The average number of months
school was held was eight and seven -tenths.
The county superintendent made 181 visits
to the schools held forty educational meet
ings throughout the county and four meet
ings of school directrs.
Prof. Sawyer will be succeeded as county
suDerintendent on the first of tho new wear

should be contained in the contract IS that
under no circumstances shall the person or
persons securing the lighting contract be
permitted to purchase or secure control OF
the local companys plant for the purpose
OF furnishing light to the city
The council will meet tonight for the
purpose of taking some action on the bids
and the report on the streets yesterday was
that five of the aldermen had made up their
minds to vote to award the con
tract to Thomas Bowman. whose bid
was only 80 cents higher per
lamp than Erwin Dryer, the Chicago
man who bid $50 per lamp per year. Dryers
bid was on Manhattan enclosed lamps, while
Bowman bid on the Hartford lamp, which
the five aldermen in question claim is su-
perior to the former. Alderman Casper ex-
pressed himself yesterday in favor Of award
ing the contract to the Chicago man on
the grounds that his bid made in good faith
was the lowest.
Mayor Jennings in discussing the matter
yesterday stated that he hoped the council
would take some definite action tonight as
the question had already in his opinion
been played ball with too long.

City Council Will Try md Solve Ii at
TOnight's Meeting.

TOniGht's Meeting.
Had II but known what the envelope
which was supposed to contain the bid of
j. p. Miller & Co., of Chicago really con
tanned the city council might have at its
meeting last night saved over half an hour
of time spent in discussing the propriety of
rejecting the bid because 1t had been re-
ceived two minutes after the hour named in
the advertisement. The supposed bid had
not been called for up to noon yesterday
and as the envelope was directed TO him
personally, City Clerk Phillips decided to
open it, 1t proved to be a communication
from j. P. Miller & Co., regarding the city
lighting proposition but not a bid. The
communication addressed to N, C. Phillips,
city clerk, was as follows:
Dear Sir: Inasmuch as this communica-
tion does not meet the requirements OF the
city's published notice for bids for a munich
pal lighting plant we cannot hope that it
will be formally accepted as such. Our
purpose in sending it is to give notice to
the mayor and city council that we stand
ready to open negotiations with them with
the view Of supplying such a plant to the
city. Our sole reason for not bidding
formally for the construction OF the plant
as We did on a former occasion is the pres
ent condition OF the market for bonds for
competing light plants. These have never
been looked upon by investors as the most
desirable securities, and since the present
tightening condition OF the money market
they have become unsaleable at anything
like fair price. We are, however. as ready
as ever to build plant for the city Of Coun-
ell Bluffs on any terms which will make it
safe for us to do so,
~. p. MILLER & CO.,
Per j. p. Miller"
Alderman Casper of the special committee
appointed for this purpose was busily en-
gagged yesterday drafting form of contract
to be entered into by the bidder who will
be awarded the contract for lighting the
city. Alderman Casper is endeavorlng to
protect the city's interest in every line OF
the contract, the terms OF which he says
are most stringent and binding on the sue
cessful bidder. One OF the provisions OF
the contract that Alderman Casper insisted

WIN Everheart,s Good Catch.

Captain w. c. Everheart came
in yesterday after an absence of
about six weeks. No one here
seemed to know where he was and
fears for his safety were entertained
among his friends. On June 26
last a very intimate friend of Mr..
Everheart's, Reinhard by name,
was murdered at Crockett in Hous-
ton, county, Tex. Leave of alb
sence was granted Mr.. Everheart
at his urgent request to attend the
funeral of the deceased, and he
went away. The floods were rag
ing down in Texas at the time,
but, undaunted, Mr.. Everheart
went to work to run down the
slayer of his friend. Weary nights
and days passed, several counties
were worked, but never for a mo-
ment did, he desist until he had his
man safe in Jail. A preliminary
trial was had and Lovejoy, the
murderer, was remanded without
bail A habeas corpus hearing
was granted, but Mr.. Everheart
had gathered sufficient evidence in
his rounds to even resist that
effort, and as a consequence the
criminal is in jail at Crockett de-
MED bail, and will be tried for his
life in October, with a good show
of stretching hemp.
This accounts for the absence of
Mr.. Everheart.

Shall We Be Represented

The time is rapidly passing and
unless our people utilize the pres
ent opportunity to arrange for
space for an exhibit at the Dallas
fair. it will be too late. This mat
ter was recently agitated here but
doubts were entertained whether
points beyond the state of Texas
limits could compete for prizes.
The following letter received by
Mrs. TolsOn sets at rest all doubts
on that score, and the ARDMoREITE
would like to see our people 60 into
this matter in business way, well
knowing that only much good can
accrue from such an exhibit as we
can produce. Here is the letter:

T.-Dear Madam: We are in re-
celpt of your favor of the 2nd inst.

you, we will be pleased to have

A TERRITORY TRAGEDY.
Clay StInnett. an Intermsrried Citizen,
Killed Dy Bender Henson.

! (idI SkIuHCNIs an
Killed Dv Bender Henson.
The Indian Territory has been
overwhelmed with picnics this sum-
mer, and at every place the best of
good feeling and friendship pre-
vailed.
All good things have an ending,
however, and the saying holds
good in this instance.
A picnic was in order at Fox
last Friday. and some tough ele-
ment must have been in atten-
dance.
Between 4 and 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon an alteration arose
which resulted in a hand to hand
fight between John Edwards and
George Tate, the latter being a
resident of Fox, while Edwards
was from nowhere in particular.
but belonged to tough gang; he
it was who killed Dick McSwain at
Durwood some months ago.
As the fight was in progress c.
c. Stinnett, a resident there, than
whom few better men live, came
up and remarked that the boys be
parted.
Bender Henson intimated it
would be better not to. as he would
kill the first man who interfered.
Mr.. Stinnett replied he surely
would not do thing of
that Sort and made move
to part the combatants, when
Henson made his threat good and
fired, the bullet crashing through
Stinnett's head, killing him almost
instantly. The same bullet also
wounded another innocent party in
the mouth who was standing near
by.
In the excitement following Hen
son escaped and the whole gang
scattered.
Pursuit was at once made and
the murderer was last seen FRIDAY
night near Elk.
A telephone message to the ARD
MOREITE yesterday afternoon from
Healdton said that Henson was
seen Saturday morning within two
miles of that place and heading to-
ward Ardmore. AT this writing
this is the last report of Henson.
An account of the killing was
'phoned to the marshal here Fri
day evening, and asking that an
officer be sent to the scene at once.
The names Of the gang were sent
to the officers and before noon Sat
urday Deputy Booker arrested and
jailed Ben White, Joe Jacobs and
John Edwards, charging them with
murder.
Edwards, who was in the fight,
walked fro / Fox to Woodford and
came in with j. s. Alverson from
that place Saturday forenoon, re-
marking as he came that he guessed
he would be arrested as soon as he
got to town.
Some believe that Henson will
surrender to the officers as soon as
ne can find one, fearing a mob, as
number of enraged citizens are
on his trail
The three in jail will have pre-
liminary trial Monday. provided
witnesses can be secured by that
time.
c. c. Stinnett, the murdered
man, was Al years of age, and had
family, was highly respected IN
his community and wherever he was
known. Deceased was a member
of the petit jury here during the
last term of court.
