Bound to Have Chickens.

Thieves succeeded after several attempts
in ~depopuiating the chicken house of Carl
+. Andersen Of East Broadway, Monday
night. Andersen heard thieves trying to
get into his hen house Sunday night and
drove them away. The thieves in their
flight dropped a basket and a woman's
skirt. They returned the same night and
made another attempt, but Anderson was
on the watch and frightened them away.
Monday night Anderson was again on
watch when he heard a noise at the hen
house and ran out into the yard just in
time to see two fellows run away. He
continued to watch and about 2 o'clock in
the morning, hearing a noise In the yard,
rushed out only to find the door Of the hen
house wide open and all his chickens gone.
He FASTENED to the police station and
Oficer Lorenzen was detailed on the case.
When Anderson and the officer reached the
house they found the bodies Of the twenty
six chickens in the bed of Indian Creek
only a few yards from the house. The
neckR of the birds had been wrung and
thro IN down the creek bank, the thieves
eviaently intending to return for them
later. This. however. was frustrated by
Mrs. Anderson. who while her husband
was gone for the police saw two men APP
proach the yard and frightened them away.

ASK COUNTY TO QUIT CLAIM
Park Commissioners Terrifying for Contest
to Save Big Lake Parl,
FEAR IT MAY Be DECLARED SWAMP LAND
Members Of Board of Supervisors Not
Inclined to Mix I'm contest Be-
tween city and Messrs.
wright and MHyne.

When the Board OF County Supervisors
reconvened yesterday afternoon the first
matter taken up was the request OF the
park commissioners Of Council Bluffs that
the county deed to the city. whatever in
terest 1t might have in Big or Spring"
lake, to which George s. Wright and George
H.. Mayne have brought suit to establish
their title.
The park board is determined to make a
vigorous fight to defeat II possible the
claims Of Wright and Mayne and does not
propose to leave any stone unturned which
may help 1t to retain the property for the
public. While 1t is not commended that the
county has any title to the lake and park,
it is barely possible that the courts may
hold that the property in dispute falls un-
der the swamp land act, in which case the
county would have some interest. 1t is
this possibility that induces the park COM
missioners to secure IL possible a quit claim
from the county.
The park board was represented at the
meeting by Commissioners Graham and
Petersen and their attorneys. The super
visors failed to see what interest they as
representatives Of the county had in the
dispute, as no showing had been made that
the county had any title to the property
involved. George S. Wright on behalf Of
himself and George Mayne urged the SUI
pervisors to keep out of the fight. He con-
tended that he had just as much right to
come before the board as the park commits
sioners and ask the county to give him a
quit claim deed.
Fearing that the owners OF property abut-
ting Carr lake, which was given to the city
of Council Bluffs by act Of congress Feb
ruary Q, 1881, would take similar action,
the park commissioners have also requested
the county to give II a quit claim deed to 1t.
This lake and its acreted land lies south
of the city in Lewis township and is known
as Island park Like Big lake, 1t is out
side the municipal limits. The board took
the matter under advisement, but as 1t is
very doubtful IL the county has any claim
on either parks, the board is not expected
to interfere. At least this was the opinion
expressed by the supervisors last evening.
The balance Of yesterdays session was
taken up in fixing the salaries Of the asses
sors for 1908. City Assessor Everest OF
Council Bluffs will receive $500 as in 1901,
| and the assessors in the other towns in the
county will receive the following salaries
Avoca, $120; Carson, $40; Hancock, $25
Macedonia, $25; Minden, $50; Nicola, $40;
| Oakland, $40; Underwood, $25; Walnut, $40
The township assessors will be paid as

Center, Crescent, Grove, Hardin, Hazel Dell,
James, Keg Creek, Lincoln, Pleasant. Rock

it into its native element 1t came to

WHAT THE POPE SPENDS.
Head of the Catholic Church In m
Model Administrators of
Large Funds.

AS pope, Leo's expenditures are
vast-without counting what he
spends on Catholic missions, on the in
ferior clergy, on churches and on ed
ucation, and upon the support of the
5000 people who populate the vatican,
he maintains within the palace walls,
the first factory of mosaics in the
world, while for works of art, says an
article in Leslie's Monthly, he prob
ably spends more than any other gov
ernment-and though it is true the
vatican receives subscriptions of mon
ey from all parts of the world, of
which it does not distribute the half,
and that its treasures are continually
increasing, still it must be remem-
bered that after ten centuries Leo
XIII. is the first pope who ascended the
throne without temporal power. The
budget of the vatican at Christmas is
100000 francs, which are all the of
ferings of the faithful, but it may be
ima gined that an exceptional admin
istration is needed to obtain this sum
yearly, and the pope is model admin
istrator.
