evening l received a telegram from General
Manager Elliott OF the Council Bluffs, Kan
sas City & st. Joseph railway. giving our
company the right. We have not yet said
that we Intend extending our line to Lake
Manawa, but the people OF Council Bluffs
can be assured that we do not intend to
stand idly by and let the new company take
our business away from u.s. There is plenty
of room for our two tracks and the tracks
OF the new company on this piece of ground
and our building will not interfere in any
way with the new company's line. They
simply wanted to freeze us out and we fore
stalled them. AS to their threat that they
will parallel all our lines in the city, why
let them go ahead They will soon tire of
the job"
1t was reported last night that Mr.. Dim
mock had gone to st. Louis to confer with

At the close of the proceedings in court
the attorneys, accompanied by the baliff OF
the superior court served the restraining
orders on the representatives of the two
companies. THIS restored quiet and the

BOard of Education.

The Board OF Education is slated to hold
its regular monthly session tonight. So
far nothing has been heard from State Su-
perintendent Barrett to whether he in
tends to grant the application for rehear-
ing in the matter OF the High school site
appeal case. The petition for a rehearng
was filed with him nearly month ago and
the board has heard nothing from him ex-
cept formal acknowledgment OF the re-
ceipt of the papers, Some of the members
have expressed themselves as being in favor
of selecting another site and the whole
question will very probably be thrashed over
again at tonight's meeting of the board.
The hearing in the injunction suit of
Slack Peterson against the school district is
set for tomorrow in the district court before
Judge Greene.
Contractor Wind has the new school house
at Cut-Off nearly completed and expects 10

BAD MAN LOOSE At A DANCE

Filled with Poor whisky Otto Saar
Makes Things Very Lively.
Otto Saar Of Silver Creek township was
lodged in the county jail here yesterday
with four charges against him to which he
will have to answer before Justice Wen
this afternoon. The charges are intoxca-
tion, assault and battery, disturbing the pub
lie peace and wilfully destroying fixtures in
ir each case is G. H. Leush, deputy sheriff.
Saar attended dance at Oderog's hall
Saturday night and after filling up on forty
rod whisky wanted to demonstrate that he
was bad man from Bitter Creek" When
the dance was not progressing fast enough
to suit him he attempted to clean out the
hall. For weapon he broke off one Of the
legs Of an oak table and armed with this
began an onslaught on the dancers For a
time there was perfect panic, but Leush
with the assistance of two male dancers
finally overpowered Saar, but not before they
had to beat him almost into insensibility.
He fought like a demon and had to be tied
with ropes. When placed in a buggy to be
conveyed to this city, 1t was found necessary
to tie him to the seat, he was so violent.
When seen at the county jail yesterday
Saar looked as II he had violent encounter
with Kansas cyclone. Both eyes were
closed and blackened and his face looked
like one large bruise. Deputy Sheriff Leush
also filed informations against August
Smith, Julius Muhs and John Eibergh on the
charge of resisting an officer. They arc
alleged to have tried to prevent Leush from
arresting Saar.

SIOUX CITY. Ia, Nov. 19.-(Special)-
Woodbury. county is in a nice predicament
over the recent sale of 100000 OF funding
bonds. The county sold these bonds to the
Farmers Loan and Trust company of Sioux
City at the low rate Of 81 per cent interest,
and in addition the trust company paid 81, ,O5O
as premium. Afterwards the trust COM
pany undertook to negotiate the sale of these
bonds to N. w. Harris G. Co. of
Chicago. but later this company informed
the Sioux City bankers that the bonds were
illegal for various technical reasons. Now
the trust company has refused to turn over
the warrants it holds, and which were to
be funded by these bonds. An effort has
been made to adjust the question out of
the courts. but so far all efforts have been
without avail. That the bonds are illegal
is denied by the county authorities 1t is a
question, even if so declared. if the trust
company can be forced under it's contract
to buy them, or else lose it's $4,000 forfeit

army of the war among which may be men
toned Wilson's Greek, Pea Ridge, Prairie
Grove, Van Buren and many engagements
of less note. The local comrades and the

not need them. Cedar Rapids allows no
one to go hungry or unsheltered on such oc-
casions. If you expect to attend, at once
drop postal card to j. o. Stewart, P. o.
