WICKHAM BEGINS PAVING
old stone Being Taken Out of Broad
way and piled on Number of
Vacant Lots.

Contractor wickham made good his
promise to begin the Broadway paving
yesterday and early in the day set
force OF men at work removing the blocks.
The work was begun on the north side of
the car tracks at First street. The north
half of the street may be paved all the
way through before the other half is
touched. thus reducing the interference
with traffic TO the minimum.
There are 10000 cubic yards Of stone to
be removed and replaced with Galesburs
block, and by working as large a force
OF men as can be utilized without closing
the street it will require three months or
more TO complete the job, The stones as
they are being taken from the street are
piled on the old ice house property at
Eleventh street and Avenue b. This
large area will be insufficient for their
storage and other localities will be used
Some OF the blocks were sold yesterday to
be used In the experiment OF riprappins
the banks OF Indian creek. Contractor
Peter Peterson, who recently completed
fine residence on Washington avenue
near North First street, is making the ex-
pertinent II IL is successful others may
follow. The blocks when all removed
viii make a pile as large as the biggest
city block and there would be enough to
riprap the creek for a mile or more.

LET'S MABRAY MEN GO
Barney Martin and W. D. Godfrey
Sign Their Own Bonds.
ARRAIGNED IN STATE COURT
Men Rearrested as They Emerge from

Freedom.

The first arrests Of Mabnayites who
have completed their terms of prison sen
fences and are held amenable to the in
dictments returned by the Pottawattamie
rand jury we're made yesterday after
neon. when Sheriff McCaffery arrested
Barney Martin and w. d. Godfrey at the
doors of the county jail.
Each Of the men had finished a sentence
Of nine months in the Jail imposed by
Judge Smith Mcpherson of the federal
bench. The arrests were made on bench
warrants issued by Judge o. d. Wheeler
OF the district court upon orders through
County Attorney Capell from Attorney Gem
eral George Cosson. There were two indict-
ments against each man, one charging
conspiracy and the other larceny. God
frey was also known in the gang as w. II
Graham. He operated extensively, but
the specific charge against him was steer
ing II. ]. HOLSTER Of Minneapolis into the

distinguished for his relations to Samuel
Sutor Of Cass Lake. Mimi
bond ut Big Figure.
Bond in each of the indictments was
fixed at $500, making $4,000 required from
each man. There we're a few anxious min
utes for Barney and his pal after their
arrest and while facing Judge Wheeler,
but their anxiety instantly melted into a
roseate glow when the court Informed
them that in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the Iowa attorney general
each man would be permitted 10 sign his
own bond and be relieved of the necessity
OF involving any of his friends in the
heavy responsibility of providing the $4,000
surety
The men appeared to have a little diff
Guilty in comprehendng the situation, but
when the light broke through they hur-
riedly scrawled their names on the i'm
portant looking documents and got out of
the presence Of the court and it's officers.
They would have got out of town as hur-
riedly II the little delay had not made
them late in reaching the station when
the first train departed. They left last
night without designating the places where
they might be found when called upon,
II ever to make good the conditions of
their bonds.
There was no explanation forthcoming
of the bond part Of the proceedings, al
though 1t was admitted that the bonds
were worse than worthless. 1t is believed
that Attorney General Cosson has now
fully realized the almost utter impossible
ity OF securing the presence Of enough Of
the mikes to insure conviction in the state
courts and so far as Barney and God
frey were concerned, the best way out of
II was to let them sign their own bonds.
Whether this will be the proceeding in all
of the other cases pending under state
indictments remains to be SEEN The whole
responsibility for the release OF the men
yesterday, as well as the proceedings in
the future, rests with the attorney gen
eral. He ordered his appearance in all
of the cases and directed the course OF
the court in relation TO the arrests yes

Council Bluffs,
A, s. BOnham Dies
at His Home in City,
Aged Ninety-Five
One Of Oldest Men in Bluffs, Well
Known Over State, Passes
Peacefully Away.

Agernon s. Bonham. one Of the oldest
men in Council Bluffs. died at $50 yes
terday morning at the home OF his son,
A. NJ Bonham, 200 Harmony street, from
the exhaustion of extreme old age He
was conscious up to almost the last
moment, and then peacefully closed his
eyes as II in sleep. II required minutes
for those around him 10 realize that the
end had come.
Mr.. Bonham had been a continuous
resident and one of the foremost citizens
Of Council Bluffs since 1863 He was born
in Fleming county, Kentucky, on February
20. 1916, and the ninety-fifth anniversary
Of his birth was happily celebrated last
February. He was the joiiiest one Of the
large crowd of children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren who gathered at the
home OF his son on Harmony street to
help him celebrate. 1t had long been his
ambition to celebrate the completion of his
e5tb year, and under the Stimulus OF the
event he expressed his determination to
reaching the 100 year mark before he was
ready to quit. A slight touch of the grip,
however, soon after weakened him and
he realized that his growing feebleness
meant the near approach to the end.
He reconsidered his determination and
announced to his friends that he was
ready to go. A week or more ago he suf-
fered a slight paralytic stroke which i'm
paired his speech and rendered him nearly
helpless His son, A. M. Bonham, sat up
with him all of Thursday night and left
him sitting up In bed at $50 yesterday
morning He remained in an upright posi-
ton trying to talk to those around him
until he sank slowly down upon the pillow
with closed eyes
Mr.. Bonham came to Council Bluffs from
Arlington, Ill, in 1863 and bought a large
farm, the Norris farm. one and a half
miles east OF town. He embarked in the
nursery business Immediately and planted
the first vineyard in this section of the
country. For wears his nursery supplied
the fruit tree and vineyard stock for the
greater part of Kansas and Nebraska
Orange Judd declared him to be one of
the foremost horticulturists of America
and his name was synonymous of the best
there was in his line. He was thus known
to thousands of people in Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas
Nine years ago, two months after cele-
brating their sxty-seventh wedding ami
versary, Mrs. Bonham died. The shock Of
her death and the subsequent bereavement
greatly affected him. OF family OF eight
children only four survive him, two sons
and two daughters, A. NJ Bonham OF this

ago Twenty-one grandchildren and

Honors Of Springtime Grace for Miss
Pansy Williams.
GALA DAY FOR THE SCHOOL
Under Great Spreading Maple
Maids of Honor Lead the
Procession.

Out under the spreading branches OF the
majestic elms and the dropping naples
and upon the green, veivety lawn that
surrounds the campus OF the University of
Omaha, with all the pomp and splendor
that attends the induction Of royalty into
office, Miss Pansy Williams was crowned
the Queen Of May, the ceremony being
performed in the presence of the crowd
that numbered several hundred. The oc-
casion was In connection with the gala day
exercises Of the school and was the first
of its kind ever observed by the institution.
Promptly at $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon
trumpeter stationed in the tower of the
university building blew a shrfll blast and
moment later the royal party emerged
from the main hall and. with stately nien.
to the strains OF music, proceeded to the
throne, erected under an immense maple,
where the coronation took place.
The MaypOle dance came in for it's share
Of applause. The twelve strips of colored
bunting were fastened high UP on the
trunk Of tree and as the twelve young
women held their respective ends, they
executed the dance in q manner that would
have done credit to professionals. They
performed numerous fancy figures, ell the
time keeping step to the music: thav
braided and unbraided them and entwined
them about the trunk OF the old tree for
fifteen minutes. after which the herald
blew another blast and the coronation ex-
ercises were over.
The rest of the afternoon was given over
to frivoiity. the principal feature Of which
was vaudeville show. the students taking

City Officials Again Tell Details of
Sale of BOnds-Water COM
missiOners Soon.

Mayor Maloney and City Treasurer True
returned yesterday morning from Chicago
and had to- devote a good deal of their
time to receiving congratulations upon the
manner In which they discharged their
duties in connection with the big bond
sale. City Solicitor Kimball, who was ex-
pected to return with them, stopped at
Marshalltown for the purpose of getting
some information concerning the manage
nent Of municipal water plants. All three
were one day at Cedar Rapids in the same
quest
The story of the sale of the bonds was
again told, with many interesting details
The mayor and city treasurer unite in de-
claring that the presence Of nearly all of
the members of the city council was of
great value. They are particularly hearty
in their commentator OF the help given
by Ernest e. Hart, who was worth several
thousand dollars to the city. 1t is doubt
full II the bond premium would have
reached within 5000 OF the high figure
obtained IL he had not been there.
Mayor Maloney expected TO announce the
appointment of the water commissioners
yesterday, but during the afternoon decided
to withhold II until today. The three men
practically agreed upon will constitute a
commission that will be above criticism in
every respect, and to whom the $500 year
salary Is OF no consequence at all. They
represent the very best type of citizenship
and business success and will bring to the
discharge Of their duties qualifications and
experience in the management OF large
enterprises that would not be secured for
monetary consideration alone unless high
figures were used. Their first duty will
be to select the general manager, but the
appointment may not be announced until
after the council has created the office
and fixed the salary.
