Council Bluffs
NEW PETITION FUR SALOONS
Move to Secure it Being Made by
Local Dealers.
PRESENT ONE HAS NOT EXPIRED
Recent Agitation and PrOsecutiOn
Thought to Have Had Innu-
ence in Securing Fresh
Consent.

The latest move OF the ~saloonkeepers of
Council Bluffs is to secure a new petition
OF general consent and plans for a cam
paisn to obtain this nave been laid.
Interested In the effort to secure this
new petition of general consent are a ma
jority of the leading saloon men of tine
city. II is expected, however, that prac-
tically all of the ~saloonksepers will have
Joined in the movement before the active
work OF circulating the petition is begun.
William Arnd, former county treasurer,
and w. ID. Hardin, city assessor, have
been engaged by the saloon men to clrcu-
late the petition, and they stated yesterday
that they expected to commence on the pre-
liminsry work next Monday. They figure
that Z several weeks will be required 10
complete the canvass.
The present petition OF general consent
for saloons in the city of Council Bluffs
will expire on July /. 1911. A new petition
secured at this time would continue in
force for a period Of five years, unless
sooner revoked. Three conditions are pro-
vided in the statute for the revocation OF
consent petitions. as follows:
Violation of any of the conditions which
operate as a bar to prosecution OF saloons.
council.
Presentation to the county auditor OF a
verified petition signed by a majority OF
the voters of the city, as shown by the
last general election, requesting that the
statutory bar 10 prosecution cease to oper-
ate.
The statute provides that in cities the
size Of Council Bluffs petitions of gen
eral consent must be signed by "a ma
jority of the voters residing in such
city, voting therein at the last proceed
ing election" The number of voters
registered in Council Bluffs for the gem
eral election last November was about
$500, but all OF these did not vote. An
effort, however. viii be made to secure
about $500 signatures, which will be
more than a majority of the registered
voters.
In securing these signatures the poll
books of the November election will be
used and the first task of the can
vassers will be to copy the lists of names
from these books. This will occupy sew
ersl days. but it is believed the work OF
canVassing for signatures can be COM
menced the early part OF next week.

DENVER, Colo, April 1~.-(SpeciaI Tel
egram. Before hundreds of people VINO
crowded the lobby of the Albany hotel,
c. c. Siert, aged ~. of Fort Calhoun,
Neb., shot and instantly killed Private
Detective Thomas Hennessey, employed
by the hotel. No motive is known by the
police for the shooting. Siert says he
knew Hennessey only by sight. not even
knowing his name. He asserted before
Chief Armstrong and half a dozen wit
nesses that he had no grievance against
Hennessey. siert does not appear TO be
insane, though some officers believe he is.
He admitted mat he had been drinking
throughout the afternoon. About .
5 o'clock this evening Siert was seen To
walk from the elevator to the front OF
the cigar case where Hennessey was
standing. When within three feet Of
Hennessey he drew an automatic re-
volver and fired point plank at the de-
~tectiVe.
My God! I'm shot" ne cried as he
sank 10 the floor. He tried to say more.
but in the excitement which prevailed his
words were inaudible and an instant
later he was dead.
Siert walked slowly toward the rear Of
the hotel, revolver in hand. but was
quickly arrested.
Cries of Lynch him." arose through
out the hotel. His captors rushed him
10 an and to the central sta
ton. There are rumors OF a woman in
the case and of a feud, but the police
have thus far been unable to establish
a motive for the crime.
Siert comes from Fort Calhoun, Neb.

Last night when appraised OF the fact
that their brother had killed a man In

TO THE PEOPLE OF OMAHA:
Many questions are being asked in regard to the prop
osition to vote $780, 900 of water bonds Of the city.
We deem it proper that the public should know the rea-
sons why we urge the people of Omaha to vote for the water
bonds.
NUMBER l.
We believe municipal ownership to be the best solution
of the situation; that it will result in better water service,
more prompt extension of water mains, and in reduction Of
water rates without increasing taxes. There can be no NUM-
cipal ownership without voting bonds.
NUMBER 2
We believe the plant will sustain itself-paying in
terest on bonds, cost of operation, and create a sinking fund
to nav off the bonds, without additional taxes. In other
words, we believe we will be buying a revenue producing
property which will carry itself.
NUMBER g.
We cannot and will not use the 100000 Of bonds
heretofore voted.
NUMBER A.
It is important that the bonds be voted now that the
promise of the litigation, If this is possible.
NUMBER g.
If immediate compromise cannot be made, it Is equally
important that the bonds be voted, that the water board be
in position to pay the amount found due by the United States
supreme court.

emotion while detailing the circumstance
Of the tragedy. County Attorney Ander-
son read Mrs. Kinks statement to the jury.
Dyer went on the stand at 8 p. m. He
testified Kirk drank heavily; that Kirk
grew angry and rushed him and he backed

mony is all in now and the arguments to
