Gibbins Goes the Limit.

IT want him arrested for manslaughter,
was the excited declaration of A. Gibbins
yesterday morning when he appeared be-
fore Judge Scott to file complaint against
one of his neighbors, Henry Darnen liv-
ing at 1908 Ninth avenue. Gibbins lives at
1l3O Ninth avenue. AS a reason for de-
manding the arrest of Darnell, Gibbins
displayed to the judge big bump on the
top of his head. which he alleged was
caused by Darnell striking him with a
hayrake.
well, II you want to charge him with
manslaughter you'll have to produce a
dead man." explained Judge Scott, and
this Gibbins admitted he could not do.
After talking the matter over Judge Scott
suggested to Gibbins that he had better
see the county attorney anc file tlrt COM
plant with him.
The trouble, as explained by Gibbins'
arose over tight between his children
and those of Darnell, and the latter came
to Gibbins back yard to talk the matter
over. Darnell, so Gibbins alleges, used
some rather hard language and when he
resented this used the hayrake, with which
he was armed, over Gibbins' head. The
force Of the blow, Gibbins said, was suf-
icient to break the handle Of the rake.

ARGUMENT ON PORTLAND TAX CAST
Company Objects to Producing 1t
Books in Court,

Company Objects to Producing It's
Books in Court.
The hearing on the application Of County
Attorney Hess for an order requiring the
Portland Gold Mining company to produce
its books and stock records so that they
can be used as evidence in the suits brought
to assess the stockholders Of the company
/ for taxation in Pottawattamie county on
their holdings, was heard before Judge
/ Green in district court. The county was
represented by Charles NJ. Harl and Emmett
FINLEY, while the Portland company and
its individual stockholders were represented
| by Congressman w. I. Smith and State
Senator c. G. Saunders.
Frank G. Peck. who was secretary of the
Portland Gold Mining company before 1t
transferred its Incorporation from Iowa to
Wyoming at the time these suits were
started by Pottawattamie county, was the
| only witness introduced by the defense
Mr.. Peck testified that there were 100000
| shares Of stock Of the par value Of 81, and
TO ascertain the identity OF the owner Of
| each share of stock would be a stupendous
and almost impossible task.
On behalf Of the defense Il was contended
that the application of County Attorney
Hess was not made in good faith, but for
| the purpose OF securing the records in
| order that other taXholders might be listed
| for taxation. Another plea was that the
books and records asked for in the appli-
cation are far too numerous and bulky to
be produced in court
| Counsel for Pottawat tamie county argued
that the pretended transfer Of the stock
Of the Iowa corporation to the corporation
organized in Wyoming was invalid and
| of no effect That this pretended transfer
was made without the consent Of the
stockholders was the contention of Messrs
Harl and FINLEY
Attorney Harl, in the course of his argu-
ment stated that II has been suggested
that II Pottawattamie county, by its coun-
sell would give a professional pledge that
no attempt would be made to dig ND
new tax cases that the objection TO pro.
ducing the books and records might be
withdrawn. I'VE could make such agree
ment" he said, "as II the records show
further liability Of Portland stockholders
! It would be our duty to furnish that evil
dence. II the stockholders OF the Portland
company are not liable for taxation in
| Pottawa ttamie county, as Il Is claimed
they need have no fear of being compelled
10 pay. If, on the other hand they are
lie BILE. then the county is entitled to the
| stock records for the purpose OF fixing
the taxation"
At the conclusion OF the arguments Judge
Green took the case under advisement.

DEFECT IN THE DITCH Law
Power Of Board Under Present. Statute Not
Equal to All EMERGENCIES
CASE IN POINT NOW UP FOR SETTLEMENT
Ditch Now Under Construction Needs
n Lateral and No Power Given
Board to order Its
Construction.

rs the Iowa drainage law defective IN
not definitely providing FOR the construc-
ton Of lateral bitches found necessary sub
sequent to the establishment Of a drainage
district" is a question which confronted
the supervisors Of Pottawattamie county
in session yesterday as a drainage board
J. H. Mayne, engineer in charge Of con-
struction of the Pigeon creek ditch, re-
ported that to make portion OF the main
ditch effective 1t would be necessary to
construct a lateral ditch about three
fOurths Of a mile in length While the pro-
posed lateral is in the territory embraced
in the Pigeon creek drainage district. there
Is a question as to whether the supervisors
have the right to order the construction
of such an additional ditch without going
! through the procedure as in the case of
/ the main ditch Of a petition, notices and
| formal establishment.
/ Former County Attorney Killpack was
called into consultation by the board and
gave it as his opinion that while there
might be an implication in the law permit
ting the construction Of such laterals as
a part Of the original drainage system, such
! permission, however, was not in definite
form. That there would be no question
about the right to proceed with the con
STuCuOn OF the lateral II II nad been IN
cluded in the original report, but this was
not the case. Mr.. Killpack suggested tht
need Of an amendment to the drainage Law
as follows: That IL it becomes necessary
to the requirements Of the drainage sys
tenn. laterals may be constructed by merely
giving notice to the parties affected"
Supervisor Henry Brandes, whose tern
expires at the beginning of the year, wa.
elected to the state legislature, and h,
plans on having the drainage law amended
as suggested by Mr.. Killpack at the com
ing session. In the meantime Enginee
Mayne was instructed to make a prelm
mary survey of the proposed lateral anC
to report at the meeting of the board II
January.
Contractor Wickham who should havt
had the ditch completed by January 1
was given an extension Of time, until july
/. There are about four and one-half miles
of ditch construction involved in the Pigeor
creek ditch contract, which will cost some
thing over $4,000.

was the first time the sister ships had

OF the two vessels the Manchuria has

not bring as large a crowd as was eX-

CARTER AND THE
COUNTY SYSTEM

The County government system is
apparently considerably more expen-
sive than the old system of administra-
ton, judging by the statement of Audi
tor Fisher, just issued, being the an
nual statement for the year ending
with June 80. 1t cost about $250,O0O
more to run the government this time
than during the previous period,
though in all the Territorial depart
ments the expenditures were less,
hence the change appears to have caus-
ed an addition of a good deal over $780,
900, to the expenses of the entire gov
eminent.
Governor Carter has been Analysing
the auditors statement and calling up
on department heads for explanations
of various features. 1T is impossible
TO strike an exact balance" he said
this morning, but it is clear that the
County system has added to the ex-
pense of government. The Territorial
Departments have an spent less, but
the total amount of taxes disbursed is
about $25O,OOO more than it was during
the previous year"
LhS iallu department SHOWS q COlSiu-
cradle decrease in the amount of re-
ceipts. This is accounted for by the
fact that during the previous period
there were heavy collections on old ac-
counts. The discovery of the Boyd
embezzlements was followed by a gem
eral Strengthening out, in the course of
which about $4,000 of old debts due
the government were collected.
Another feature of the auditors re-
port is that the receipts from the tax
bureau appear to be about a million
dollars more than in the previous pc
riod. Governor Carter has had some
correspondence with Treasurer Camp
bell on the subject, and it appears that
the explanation lies in the change in
the law as to the time for collection
of taxes.
