REDUCES CRIMINAL COSTS
Former Deputy Attorney KimbalI
Files His Final Report with
the Board.

Glen F. Kimball, former assistant
county attorney, whose term expired jan
uary / OF this year, filed yesterday with
the county auditor his report of criminal
cases in the Justice courts for last year.
II shows that out Of a total of 271 cases
in the city there were 80 convictions, As ac-
%quittals, 81 dismiesals and AZ still pending.
The total costs amounted to $1,77S.4S,
being an average OF $3.50 a case. There
we're 20 cases in the county outside the
city, resulting in 33 convictions, 20 &C
%quittals. 8 dismissals and 9 still pending.
Outside the city the costs amounted to
$685. or an average Of $lO.95 a case.
Before the appointment Of an assistant
county attorney the costs to the county in
criminal cases before Justices of the peace
in Council Bluffs averaged about s12. Dur
ing the lour years of Mr.. KimbalIs service
the costs averaged as follows: 1899, $3.50;
1900, S6.42; 1901, 1857; 1902, 1855.
In concluding his report Mr.. Kimball
takes occasion to make the following re-
marks:
In making this, my last report In the
office in which | have served for two
terms, | am pleased to call to your atten-
ton the general reduction which has been
made in what was once a very expensive
matter to our county. Each of you Is well
aware how much one who would save pub
lie expense and conserve the county funds
has to contend with and against; how
thankless is his task. Criticism and open
opposition comes from some politicians ana
narrow-minded persons who have no re-
gard for what Is just and right. As your
board meets It, IL has been met in my
work, but am pleased to report that the
officers of the various courts, and who are
still compensated upon the fee system,
which is unfair and pernicious In its tend
encies. have been almost wholly above
criticism in making unnecessary cost to the
county and have aided me during the last
year, not only in reducing cost to the
county, but also in bringing the guilty to
Justice and disclosing malicious and false
charges which are often filed against the
innocent.
The report will be submitted to the board
Of county supervisors at It's meeting in
February.

CAPITAL commission Tour.

E. p. schoentgen is home from an ex-
tended trip inspecting state oapitols as a
member Of the Iowa State Capitol I'M
provsment commission, consisting OF HIM
self, State Senator A. B. Funk of Spirit
Lake and Prof. Cumming Of Des Moines.
The commission was created by the state
legislature and appointed by Governor
Cummins to expend $3.50. 900 appropriated
for the improvement of the capitol build
ing in Des Moines.
Mr.. Schoentgen gives it as his opinion
that the Iowa capitol compares most IA
vorably with the other state houses
throughout the country. With this last
trip the committee has completed its OBJ
servatiops and will meet in Des Moines
next week to take definite action on the
improvements of the state capitol. In ad-
dition TO the improvements of the capitol a
portion of the appropriation will be used
for the erection of a warehouse nearby
in which will be stored the documents
and stationery of the capitol offices. This
building will cost, it is estimated. about
$40, 900.

Matters i'm pintrlct Court.

The suit OF Gerhard OstdicG against the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul Railway
company in the district court, in which
the plaintiff sought 10 recover $1O2.SO for
the death Of a steer which had been killed
on the defendants track was taken from
the jury by Judge Thornell yesterday, and
q, verdict entered for the railroad company.
Judge Thornell held that the railroad was
not responsible, as the evidence showed
that at the point where the steer was killed
the tracks OF the railway company crossed
a public highway, and consequently the
railroad could not maintain a fence there.
Following the dismissal Of the ostdick
suit, a jury was impaneled to try the suit
OF HenDessy against the same railroad
company, In which the plaintiff seeks to re-
cover $50 for a horse killed on the de-
PENDANT company's tracks,
The suit brought by the Mason City
& Fort Dodge Railroad company to re-
strain the board OF county supervisors
