KILLED AN EAGLE
Myron Spanogle Killed Fine Spec
men OF the National Bird.

On Monday last, while Myron Spanogle
was eating his dinner, he was surprised
70 have a gentleman drive up to his door
and call for him to get his gun and come
with him. Mr. Spanoge quickly secured
his trusty shot gun and jumped into the
buggy with the gentleman and drove
down the road short distance from his
house when his sttention was called to q
arge bird which was making meal of
of some kind of meat. The bird stood or
top of fence when the buggy drove ur
and made no move to 60 until Mr.. Span
ogle got out of the buggy, when it spreac
out its massive wings and started to fly
Mr.. Spanogle soon brought his gun into
play and the bird dropped ,nortally
wounded. When he reached the futter-
ing bird he was surprised to find that he
had shot and killed a very beautiful
specimen Of the American eagle, and q
big one at that as its wings measured
seven feet and one inch from tip to tir
and it weighed S pounds.
Mr.. Spanogle expects to have tmountec
and send it to the museum at Lansing as
one of the exhibits in that interesting

their crazy flight. The insects sometimes
alight upon the breasts of the animals and
dig under the skin, entering in such num-
bers that welts or ridges are raised on
the unfortunate animals Horse owners,
before turning their animals out to pas

ing company, whose plant is located at
Tenth avenue and Twelfth street, has
grievance against the Alfalfa Meal COM
pany. whose factory Is in the immediate
vicinity. and city oficials who have invcs-
tigated the matter say the grievance is well
founded. Molasses mixed with gumb9

NJ Shook, manager of the Alfalfa Meal
company, has been cited to appear in po-
lice court this morning to explain why ne
should not be required to abate the nuis-
ance complained Of by Mr., Walker.
In the information filed by Mr.. Walker
yesterday Manager Shook OF the alfalfa
company is charged with wilfuly and ma
liciousiy maintaining a nuisance at Twelfth
street and Tenth avenue by permitting offal
and refuse, noxious smells and odors to
destroy the health, peace and comfort Of
said neighborhood.
The Alfalfa Meal company uses vast
quantity OF molasses in the manufacture
OF its product. The tank cars in which the
saccharine matter lie shipped are not always
leakage proof, and much Of the glutinous
stun found its way out on the tracks and
adjoining thoroughfare. The molasses
brings lies and other insects. Complaint
was made to the city council and as re-
suit a number Of loads of molasses inter-
mixed with the soil were gathered up and
carted to the grounds Of the Alfalfa Meal
company adjoining the Walker plant.
Mr.. Walker now complains that this stuff
grown rotten throws on noxious odors
besides attracting flies and other insects
which make life miserable for the employees
at the Walker factory. Unless the nuis-
ance is abated Mr. walker asserts he Will
be compelled to c4oss down his plant

OBJECTION TO FLORENCE FERRY
Commercial Club Asks Board to
Refuse Permit

Refuse Permit.
The Commercial club at the general
monthly meeting last night voted TO dis
courage the granting Of a license for the
proposed ferry between Florence, Neb..
and this side Of the river. The opinion
seemed TO prevail that the ferry would
prove a detriment rather than a benefit
to Council Bluffs in that II would likely
divert trade from this city to the other
side of the river. The secretary was in
structed to notify the board Of county
supervisors as to the feeling Of the club
The club decided 10 assist the local or
ganization in entertaining the Railway
Mail clerks convention, to be held in this
city July 60 Secretary Reed was in
structed to confer with the members Of
the local organization and ascertain in
what manner the club could assist them
Attention OF the meeting was called to
the complaint that the Commercial club
directed it's efforts solely in the interests
Of the wholesalers and neglected the re-
tail interests OF the city. Members Of
the executive committee present denied that
there was any intention on their part to
overlook the interests OF the retail trade
and the secretary was instructed 10 call
upon the retailers and ascertain what the
club could do to promote their interests.
The meeting was poorly attended few
OF the members outside OF the officers and
executive committee being present Despite
the small attendance the regular monthly
meeting will be continued in the hope of
reviving interest among the general mem
bership.
