Gas Plant Again Destroyed.

About neon Christmas day,
the gas plant was destroyed by
an explosion. There is only
conjecture as to the eans-of
course, the cause was a leak
age of gasoline gas some where.
The top of the building was
blown off and the side walls
wrecked. All of the gasoline
in the building and all Of the
woodwork was destroyed by the
fire which followed and the
plant is a complete wreck.
Several barrels of gasoline
were lying against the building
on the east side and were re-
moved by members of the fire
department without damage
and without accident. 1t is
possible that the machinery is
not so seriously injured as to
be useless, but it will be several
weeks before the plant is re-
built and furnishing gas to the

the decision Of the lower court.
The case is one wherein Mr..
Kuhl sued these men on a bond
they gave to secure the Elk
change Bank in Dow City for
certain deposits made in that
bank of county funds in the
way of taxes collected by the
bank. The bank failed and had
some $4,000 of county money
on hand. Then suit was
brought on this bond, and in
the lower court it was held that
he bond was no good as secur-

the fact the deposits Of county

been authorized by the board of

therefore leaves Mr.. Kuhl the
loser of the amount, together

Council Bluffs, Dec. 30:
The grand jury this morning
reported two indictments
against former District Clerk
of Courts H. V. Battey, one
charging forgery and the other
alleging enlightenment. The
indictments grow out of the in
vestigation of Battey's official
acts as district clerk, from
which office he was temporarily
removed by Judge Wheeler,
later resigning. The expert
who made the examination re-
ported thu. Battey had made
erasures in the records and had
