Wilson SIN Alive.

II. r. Wilson, who attempted TO commit
suicide at the Keystone hotel Friday night.
was still alive last evening and the chances
of his pulling through were reported to be
good. Yesterday Chief Mitchell took the
Graft found on Wilson to the Packers
National bank and found that Il was good
for Its face value, $3.50. In addition to
this sum Wilson had In his pockets some
thing over 5000. At the time he was first
searched the big portion Of his roll was
not found and 1t was not until he ar
rived at the hospital that the proceeds Of
a 5000 draft was discovered In his clothes
The doctors are Of the opinion that Wilson
was verging on delirium tremens when he
attempted TO take his life and that he was
not In a condition to be responsible for his
acts. After inficting the injuries on his
throat Wilson attempted to insert his fin
gers into the wound and tear the flesh. The
prompt arrival OF the police prevented
this. 1t was learned by Chief Mitchell yes
terday that Wilson arrived in Omaha on
November 5, and had put in most OF his
time drinking. He stopped for a time at
the klondike hotel. but nothing is known
OF him here.
1t is thought now that he Is a miner in
stead OF n stockman and that he was on
his way east to spend his money. All Of
the papers found SO far show the mans
name to be II. X. Wilson, while every
stitch Of clothing he has is marked with
the initials IF. L." Chief Mitchell sent a
telegram to the chief of police OF Seattle
giving a description OF Wilson and asking
for information. 1t is thought that the
bank where the draft was secured can throw
some light on the subject There is a
suspicion that Wilson secured his posses
sion OF the draft and money In an unfair
way and it is the intention OF the police
department to sift the matter to the bot
tom. 1t is expected that the telegram from
Seattle will satisfy all doubts as to the
right OF Wilson to the draft

in his office and as the light is little
high he placed his right hand on the iron
railing. When the current came on in re-
sponse TO the turning OF the button he
received a shock which caused him 10 cry
out with pain. The globe Of the light was
broken by the pressure on 1t and this
broke the circuit. Mr. Jones' hand was
quite badly burned and he will possibly
be laid up for a day or two on account OF

WILL FIX PRICE OF LIGHTS
City Council to Act on New Ordinance il
Very Short Time.
ALDERMAN loUett PREPARES ORDINANCE
Matter VIII he Taken rp Tomorrow
Night aud Price and Quality OF
Liaht win Ne Formally
prescribed.

Alderman Lougee has announced that
he will Introduce at the meeting OF the
city council tomorrow night an ordinance
fixing the quality aud price OF electric light
furnished TO tho city and private consumers.
The ordinance has already been drawn in
blank but the rates have not yet been de
cded upon. These, the committee on
fire and light OF which Alderman Lougee
is a member, Is expected to arrange and
submit in a report to the council. The
contract with the Council Bluffs Gas and
Electric Light company for the city lighting
expired last year and since then
the city has been paying at the old rate
OF SS4 per arc light. Under the new con-
tract with the Blun City Electric Light
and Gas company, which will not go into
effect for some time yet, the city will pay
but s6950 per light.
1t is understood that the fire and light
committee will fix the price to be paid
for It's street lighting at the same rate as
provided In the new company's contract
Otherwise the price fxed in Alderman
Lougee's proposed ordinance would not be
binding on the new company. The price
fixed for electric lighting furnished to priv
ate consumers will be binding on the new
company. unless the company should take
the matter into the courts and prove that
the rate 70 fixed was not an equitable one
The provisions OF the proposed ordinance
are similar In most respects 10 the one
passed by tho council fixing the price OF
gas.

ROAD SUPERVISOR IN RBBELLIO,
W. f.. Cook of Garner Township Run
COunler To Cauuix Ranrd

W. f.. Cook of Garner Township Runs
Counter to County Board.
w. j. Cook. road supervisor in Garner
township, has challenged the authority OF
the county board of supervisors and has
refused to keep in repair any country road
in his district on which the county has
done work. Cook takes the position that
when the county puts a road In good con-
dition 1t should keep 1t in repair and not
require the township authorities to do t..
He Is the first road supervisor to assume
such position and the supervisors are at
loss to know where he gets his precedent.
The matter was brought up at yesterdays S
session OF the board and the following
resolution was adopted:
Whereas. w. j. Cook. a road supervisor
IN Gsrner township, Is reported to have re-
which work has been done by the county,
II is
Resolved. That said w. j. Cook is hereby
ments relating to his Office and that the
auditor Is directed to cause a certified copy
or this order to be served upon him and a
return Of service OF such notice made to the
board.
II is understood that Cook takes excep-
tion to certain OF the county supervisors
experimenting the work on the county
roads and contends that all such work
should be done by the road supervisors.
In other words. he complains that the
members OF the county board are taking
the bread out OF his mouth in doing work
which properly belongs 70 him and for
which he was elected by the people of his
township.
The usual quarterly settlement with G..
T. Miller, supervisor OF poor for Kane
| township. was made, his accounts audited
and found correct.
The bill for the printing of the ofic;al
ballots used at the recent election was
allowed the special committee having re.
ported that the firm having the contracts
had consented TO deduct $40 from tho
amount, which the board had declared wa.
extortionate,
After transacting the usual routine busl-
ness the board adjourned until Novem-
ber 20.
