not take place. The license was returned
yesterday to the clerk Of the district court
and marked cancelled" on the marriage
license docket.
Hodgson gave his age as p and that or
bis prospective bride as is. Yesterday a
young woman said TO be a sister OF the
young man called at Cleik Reeds ONCE to
INQUIRE how It happened that a license
had been issued to her brother, who was
under age, as was the girl he wished to
marry. The sister explained that both
families were opposed to the marriage and
would do all In their power to prevent IT,
Clerk Reed informed the young woman
that the wedding could be prevented II
the marriage license was returned to him
before II was used. Al the same time
Mr.. Reed suggested that II might be best
for the young man to surrender the license,
as IL was possible that he might get into

advice evidently had the desired effect, as

ALL WIRES co IN CONDUITS
City Council Proposes to Go Full Length in
Crusade Against Overhead Wires.
NOTHING IN THE AIR BUT THE TRollEYs
Telephone Company Does Not object
Seriously, but Electric Light, Motor
and Telegraph Companies
Expected 20 Protest.

In addition to the ordinance requiring the
placing Of all telephone wires underground
now before the committee OF the whole,
there will be introduced at the meeting of
the city council Monday night a separate
ordinance providing for the similar disposi-
tion Of Telegraph and electric light wires
and the feed wires OF the motor COM
pany.
These ordinances will be practically tho
same as the n now before the council
relating 70 telephone wires except that
thcy win not contain the provision com
peliing the companies to furnish space In
their conduits for the wires OF the city's
IRE and police alarm system. Under the
ordinance granting the Nebraska Telephone
company it's franchise in Council Bluffs the
company Is required to allow the city TO
use its poles for its fire and police alarm
sysem wires. This provision is not in the
other companies ordinances and for this
reason Il was deemed necessary TO draft
separate ordinances for the placing Of the
wires in underground conduits-
When the ordinance providing for the
placing Of telephone wires underground was
introduced, several OF the aldermen ex-
pressed themselves in favor OF making
this requirement general on all companies
using electric wires. 1t is understood that
the telephone company will not make any
great objection to putting its wires under
ground, as It will tend to improve the SER
vice, but It is said that the telegraph COM
panies and the motor company will vigor-
ously protest against the passage of the
ordinance affecting them.
When the ordinance relative to the tele-
phone wires going underground was first
introduced into the city council, business
men generally favored its passage and a
petition signed by 100 of the leading bust
ness men and firms was presented to the
council urging its passage. 1t is believed,
that in view Of the general sentiment ia
voring a start in the direction OF getting
the wires underground and the unsightly
poles off the business streets of the city
the aldermen will take favorable action on
the telephone ordinance at least, Monday.

MUST PAY BACK THE MONEY
Contributors to Church Fund Sue and
Get Judgment on Breach
of Contract.

WEBSTER CITY, Ia. Jan. 1.-(Special)
Judge George w. Dyer has just rendered
his decision in the famous case OF c. j.
sherman and John Hanfeldt ct al against
Archbishop John J. Keane OF Dubuque. BY
the terms Of the decision the plaintiffs are
entitled TO recover from the Catholic church
In Williams the sum OF 81, 4S0. 10, with iu-
terest at the rate OF 6 per cent.
The case arose over a church row sew
eral years ago. In 1895 the church was
destroyed by a cyclone and later subscrip-
lions were started for the erection of a
new church. The plaintiffs in the case
subscribed literally. giving 50, 4S0.10. Their
subscription, however, was made condi-
tional upon a dual language speaking
priest being sent-One capable of speaking
both the Germa aud the English languages.
This was under the regime Of Archbishop
Hennessey, now deceased, The church was
built. but no dual language speaking priest
appeared. Archbishop Hennessey died and
was succeeded by Archbishop Keane. The
latter held thai he might send whatsoever
kind OF priest would serve best the people
from his point of view, The plaintiffs
then began action against the church
through Archbishop Keane. the custodian
Of its funds. to recover their contributions
because OF a breach Of contract,
Judge Dyer, In his decision, holds that
the contract was legal and that by the
death OF Archbishop Hennessey Il passed
TO his successor, and that through II he is
holden. The decision further states that
Hennessey failed and Ksane still refuses
to carry out the contract, ard that there
fore the plaintiffs are entitled TO recover
their contributions The costs I'm the case
are taxed 10 Keane and the judgment is
made a lien on the property. and the same,
or so much Of II as may be necessary. is
ordered to be sold 10 satisfy the judgment.
The case will probably be appealed.

Everything seemed to combine to make
the New Years day shoot held by the

success. The day was ideal for the sport.
the attendance was remarkably large, the
entries we're numerous and enthusiastic and
finally the birds themselves were Of the
gamest sort, there being not a single sit
ter" out OF near 400 that were trapped.
Easily the feature OF the day was the
shooting Of George Toozer Of Omaha, who
is comparatively a new man at the traps.
Mr.. Toozer started the afternoon by shoot
ing five birds straight in practice. Then he
entered upon his match race with VIII
Sherwood. twenty-five live birds, and
dropped every one, defeating his opponent.
Next Toozer entered the ten live bird
event and made another perfect score.
That made forty live birds straight, but
the number was not the prettiest part Of
Toozer's work. His every shot was said by
the old timers to be as well timed as they
had ever seen, and he conferred his Birds in
a way which many said had not been
e~qualled here. The scores in the match
