ALLEGED DEFAULTER NOT DEAD
Former Minnesota OnciaI May Return
and ray All Claims Against
HIM.

ST. PAUL Mimi, May S.-A special to
the Dispatch from Crookston, MINI. says
that news from a source that is considered
thoroughly reliable has been received here
to the effect that Joseph Matthews who
Is deputy treasurer of Polk county. de-
faulted TO the extent of about 5000 and
who was thought TO have died in a London
hotel I'm 1898, is alive and expects in a COM
paratively short time 10 return TO Crooks
ton to reimburse the bondsmen of County
Treasurer Beaudry, who settled with Polk
county.
Matthews disappeared i'm 1898 while he
was acting as deputy treasurer and was
never seen here again. A man was found
dead in a London hotel, Matthews watch
and ring were found upon the dead man,
together with other papers. Now IL is
thought that Matthews was i'm London at
the time and changed clothing with the
dead man to confuse identification.
One serious complication that will arise
il the story. IL true is the fact that Mrs
Matthews collected 5000 life insurance and
not long after his supposed death married
another man. ''

BIG DREDGE WHITE ELEPHANT
Council Cannot Find Money TO Care
for the Machine. -

Council Cannot Find Money to Care
for the Machine.
That the big Indian creek dredBe is fast
becoming a white elephant on the hands OF
the city is the opinion expressed by several
of the councilmen. Since last fall il has
been anchored in the creek little way
south of the city limits 1t stood the raw
ages of winter well and failed to drag its
anchor during the heavy rains. It is feared.
however. that If Indian creek should go on
one of it's genuine old-time rampages the
dredge would be carried down to the river,
where it would probably go to the bottom
or become msrooned on a sand bar.
The consensus OF opinion among the eoun-
cilmen and other municipal ohicisls is that
the Eleanor Gilbert" as the dredge is best
known. should be placed on dry land until
such time as il might be needed TO again
clean out the creek between Sixth avenue
and the Missouri river. Last fall one firm
offered to raise the dredge from the creek
! onto dry land for $500. but the city council
! decided il couldn't spare the money. Now
! the lowest bid for the same job is $500 and
| the councllmen are at loss to figure where
] the money can be obtained, as no appro-
! priation for II was made at the commence
ment of this fiscal year.
The dredge cost S45o0, but the members
OF the late council assert It had paid for
itself before It was put out Of commission.
1t has been practically impossible to use the
big machine on the present work on indian
creek, owing to the number of bridges TO
be encountered between Sixteenth avenue
and Eighth street The dredge, It IL said
is not Of suficient capacity for use ON the

IOWA BOY WINS HIS MEDAL
Conspicuous GaIIRntry of Joseph Fits
at Battle of Mount
DajO.

The Navy department has bestowed a
medal OF honor and a gratuity of 500 upon
Joseph Fitz, an Iowa boy connected with
the United States navy, for special gall
lantry in the action Of March 6, 1906, at
Mount Dajo, Jolo, p. l. General orders
No. 10, under date Of May /, Navy depart
ment, thus details the act of Ordinary Sea-
man Joseph FItz:
The department takes great pleasure in
awarding a medal of honor and a gratuity
of 500 to Joseph F1tz. ordinary seaman, L.
s. NJ, for the bravery and extraordinary
heroism displayed by him on March g. 1900,
during the action on Mount DaJo, Jolo, u.
l., as recommended by his commanding Of
ficers and approved by the commander-in-
chief OF the Asiatic fleet. The following
extract from the report of Captain Louis
ii. Bash, L. 8. A. serves to show the con-
spicuous bravery of Fits, who is a lad serv-
ing In his apprenticeship and of whom the
department is justly proud:
II have the honor to invite your atten-
ton to the conduct of Ordinary Seaman ].
Fitz, attached to the gunboat Pampanga,
who was serving on the expedition OF the
United states troops during the action on
Mount DaJo, Jolo p. l., on March 8, 1906.
Upon the occasion In question the troops of
Captain Lawson's column, with which Sea-
man FttS was serving, were advancing to
assault the last ;t remaining Rs cotts situated
guard OF the troops had reached a point
very near the parapet Of this Gotta, but
were unable to command the interior. Sea-
man Fitz conceived the idea OF climbing
a large tree about forty feet from the
Gotta and firing into It with his pistol. He
remained in the tree about ten minutes
ana while there was the sole target for
the MorOs inside the Gotta. Although sub
ject to this severe fire from all sorts OF
firearms and other missile weapons, the
man coolly remained IN the tree, holding
on the best he might. firing his pistol rap
idly and undoubtedly doing great eXecu-
ton He finally came down and partici-
pated in the assault that carried the trench

Mayor General Leonard Wood, L. g. A.,
forwarded the above report to the COM

lowing endorsement: This mans conduct
was conspicuously gallant and OF a char
acter TO clearly entitle him to a medal Of

cumstances given within are correct"

and. although under FIRE from the Moros In

Hanging on with one hand he used the

revolver was empty he dropped II 10 the
ground and caught another loaded one that
was thrown to him. His hre undoubtedly

Y. N. c. A. PROJECT ALIVE
Committee Decides to Secure Services Of an
Experienced Oampaignsr,
CONFIDENT OF RAISING THE FUNDS
Fifty Thousand Dollars the Amount
Decided Upon as Necessary for
Erection and Equipment of
a suitable Building.

THAT we are to have Young Mems
Christian association building IN Council
Bluffs has been definitely decided and now
the only question for us TO determine is
when are we to get it?' declared Frank c.
Riker last night at the meeting OF the
committee having in charge the Young
Mems Christian association project The
confidence felt by Mr.. Riker that the
project would be ultimately brought to
successful issue was apparently shared by
the other members OF the committee.
The meeting last night was to consider
the advisability\ of securing some we'll
known Young Mems Christian association
worker from outside to take charge Of the
campaign for funds. Some favored having
the campaign conducted by local man,
such as Mr.. Rlker, who FROM the start has
been the prime mover in the project to
establish an association in this city with
it's own building, Mr.. Riker however, de-
clined to take charge of the campaign, al
though he freely offered his services TO
work with some "campaigner' Of reputs
from outside. 1t was decided that q man
from outside be secured and that an active
campaign for funds be commenced as soon
as such man can he obtained Chair
man Smith was instructed to appoint q
committee of Ave, which will from this on
| take active charge OF the project. This
committee Mr.. Smith expects to name to-
dav.
+. j. Day stated that in his opinion
when the campaign is really begun in ear
nest on systematic plan, there would be
| little difficulty in raising the required
amount, which as a starter has been placed
at $50O0O He figured out for the commit
tee that SS7,5OO could be raised In the city
as follows: Five 1900 donations, 5000;
twenty 500 donations, 10000; thirty $3.50 do
nations. $3.50; 100 s1OO donations, $1,000; in
smaller sums, 5000.
Frank Riker and Robert Wallace said
they. would raise $1,000 IL the committee
would raise the balance. From their re-
marks Il was inferred they had strong
hopes OF securing that sum, or at least
s., 900. from one certain party.
! The committee Of fve to be appointed
! by Chairman Smith is to-, at, yo9ce-r enter
| into negotiations with some we'll Known
| Young Mems Christian association funds
raiser but it is not likely that the active
campaign win be begun until about August.
! The committee, however, has no intention
| of letting the matter go by default or in
! terest I'm the project to flag. II has decided
| that a Young Mems Christian association
is a necessary institution in Council Bluffs
and it is determined that there shall be one
and that it shall be suitably housed in a
building OF its own.
| 1t was suggested also last night that
| some assistance might be obtained from
the several railroads centering in Council
Bluffs and the committee will at once enter
into communication with the officials Of
| these railroads.
