Two More Indictments.

Harry Patterson against whom the grand
Jury returned an Indictment on the charge
Of uttering a forged instrument, was taken
into custody yesterday afternoon by the
sherin's force. His bail, which had been
placed at $500, was reduced by Judge Green
to $500 and this amount was furnished.
Patterson's indictment follows his arrest
a few days ago on a charge of d~efrauding
r. c. Meneray. a local nurseryman, by al
legged bogus orders on which he obtained his
commission. In the Indictment II is charged
he presented to Meneray an order purport-
ing to be signed by the wife OF a we'll known
attorney of this city. Young Patterson be-
longs to a prominent family OF this city
and served through the Philippine campaign
in the Fifty-nrst Iowa volunteers. He and
his friends say he will be able to clear him
self Of the charge.
Another indictment made public yester-
day by the arrest OF the defendant VS. one

Muat Not Destroy Tree.

IOWA FALLS, Ia. Nov. lS.-(special.)-
A decision has Just been rendered by Judge
whitaker In the district court, of this
county, that is Of vital interest to every
city and town in the state that seeks to
put its streets TO grade. The city OF Ell
dora sought to cut down a certain street
about four feet. The improvement would
destroy a row OF shade trees and an in
junction was issued restraining the city
from proceeding further. In passing on
this injunction n making It permanent,
the court held that unless It could be shown
that the city wished to use the entire street
for street purposes the trees could
not be destroyed and hence the cut could
not be mad The court held that the ordi-
nance establishing the grades was illegally
adopted, but that had it been perfectly
valid, the decision would not have been
changed, as 1t must be clearly proven that
the city wished the entire street for street
purposes. The matter is likely to be car
ried to the supreme court for a hearing.

TALKING ABOUT A POOR FARM
some of Board Members Inclined to
Think Present Land Price
Too High.

At the meeting OF the Board Of County
Supervisors yesterday Chairman Brandes
recommended that some action looking to
the purchase of suitable property for a
county poor farm be taken at this session.
BY vote of the people the county was au-
thorized to levy a IAN OF 1 mill for the
years 1901 and 1902 for this purpose and
Chairman Brandes stated yesterday that
the proceeds Of the levy would amount to
about ,$24, 900, but that the entire amount
would not be available until December 1908.
He suggested that the board take some &C
tion looking to the purchase of 100 acres
in the near future, as IL would take some
time to erect the necessary buildings and.
get the project into working order.
Supervisor Baker was of the opinion that
the purchase Of the land should be de-
ferred until next year, as this year there
was a regular boom in Pottawattamie farm
land and the county would have to pay
between SIS and $50 an acre for any land
that would be at all suitable. 1t was esti-
mated that the county would have to pay
in the neighborhood OF $12.0 200, OF even
more. for $50 acres Of good farming land,
and this would leave about an equal amount
for the construction Of the required build
ings. From the sentiment expressed at
yesterdays meeting 1t is expected that the
board will take some action before the ad-
iournment Of the November session.
In compliance with the request Of neigh
boring farmers whose land is affected by
the overflow. the board instructed the road
supervisor OF Rockford township to remove
the dixie and other Instructions which pre-
vent the flow of water from Noah lake into
the Boyer river.
The bonds Of the county officers elected
at the recent election were hxed as fol-
lows; County auditor. 10000; county at
torney. 5000; clerk OF the district court,
$4,000; county recorder. $4,000; justices
OF the peace, in Kane township, $500; In
Knox township. $1,000; in Carson, Valley,
Minden. Nicola. Belknap. Layton and Mace
donia townships. $500. and in all other
townships, $500; constables. in Kane and
Knox townships, $1,000; in Carson. Valley,

(From a Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. ~13.-(Speclal Tele-
gram.)-George E. Roberts, director OF the
mint and editor OF the Register-Leader of
Des Moines. is supporting the candidacy of
Mr.. Babcock for speaker OF the Fifty
eighth congress. Mr.. Roberts was seen
today by The Bee correspondent and asked
why he favored Mr.. Babcock and the direc-
tor and editor authorized the following
statement:
"Mr. Babcock, in the opinion Of his
friends" said Mr.. Roberts. lis on broad
grounds the best equipped man among the
candidates for the speakership. He has had
ample service in the house and is one OF
its most useful and influential members.
He served upon the house caucus commit
tee which planned the gold standard legis-
lation and has always been among the
foremost in shaping party politics. He is a
sagacious political leader and therein Is
perhaps his most important qualification
for the speakership at this time. He is
patient, tactful and discreet. He is a har-
monizer. He will keep the party in the
house together and lead it to Affirmative
legislation. The next congress will make
the record over which the presidential con-
test will be fought. Mr.. Babcock is in en-
tire sympathy with the president in tho
~latter's desire, forcibly expressed in the
phrase to make good In the next two
years. He is a thorough going protection
list and yet favorable to moderate action
upon the tariff. He would not remove a
single barrier necessary to maintain tho
American wage scale. His views upon the
tariff are satisfactory to the staunchest pro-
tectionists in the house. who are familiar
with them. They are endorsed by Senator
Spooner and it may be confidently stated
would be acceptable to the senate finance
committee. before which all the tariff legis-
lation must go. He is in the prime OF lie
and Of all the candidates named the one
who at this time can be most serviceable
to the party in that position"

Congressman Hepburn, with his family,
has returned to Washington and opened his
home on East Capital street for the win

speakership said: SHOULD Representative
Babcock decide to become a candidate he
may count on my vote and hearty support"
