Old Times

On tel me OF the days of old,
" b&n leondon streets Mere paved with
gold.
And Cinderella dressed so fine:
And every fountain ran with wine;
And armed knights, with lance at
rest.
Rode up and down on high behest
That they might every wrong redress.
And succor damsels in distress:
And Jack the Giant killer flew
tThe seNen-leagued boots were always
new
From place to place, with sword in
hand,
And of all monsters rid the land;
And right was might. and goodness
gain,-
In good King Arthur's happy reign.

Council Bluffs
COLORADO LITIGATION ENDED
Judge Munger Dismisses Mining Suit
Against Burton and Others.
CLAIMS LACK OF JURISDICTION
Judge Woodruff Grants order ReIeas-
ing some OF the Funds Of the
Atlantic Interurban
Railroad.

Federal Judge T. c. Munger Of Lincoln
came TO Council Bluffs yesterday and dis
missed the mining suit Instituted by
Colorado men against G. E Bunton Of At
lantic, DIT. Hanna Of Walnut and others.
on the ground that he had no jurisdiction.
The suit was for wages and material
alleged to be due about 100 miners and
merchants OF a small Colorado mining
town, assigned to W. L. Tanner for the
purpose Of bringing suit against the Iowa
men. who had been led into a scheme
to furnish money TO develop an old mine
The case had been pending in the federal
court for several months.
While here Judge Munger entered the
final decree in the suit Of the Northwest
ern Railway company against James
Quinlsn, who claimed $50 acres OF valuable
land near the Blair bridge by the right OF
squatter sovereignty. The land had been
regularly purchased by the railroad COM
pany for use in connection with It's OPP
Grafton Of the bridge and eventually for
yardage. Quinlan entered upon the land
under decisions bearing upon Iowa swamp
lands. and lawyers held that his claim
was good. The railroad was given pos
sion of the land and was awarded $500 from
Quinlan for the time he had occupied it.
Judge E. d. Woodruff heard the ap-
plication Of the receivers Of the Atlantic
Northern & Southern Interurban railroad
for the release Of a sufficient amount Of
the funds tied up by injunctions to pay the
wages Of the men who have been driven to
the extremity Of holding up the only train
so far operated on the road. The train
had been held at Villisca by a crowd OF
several hundred unpaid workmen and only
permitted it's release when assured Of the
action to be taken yesterday.
Judge Woodruff made an order releasing
s. 200 Of the tied up money. This sum was
said to be sufficient to meet the demands
Of the unpaid workmen. There were a
number of the officers and interested
stockholders Of the road attending the
court proceedings. They declared that the
road has passed through its most troublous
times and will soon be away from the
financial breakers through which It was
being launched.

ELECTION ARoUSES INTEREST
Republicans and Democrats Both
Have Tickets for the Board of
Education.

The school board election to choose two
directors will be held tomorrow, with one
polling place in each ward. Until yester-
day there had been but little interest
aroused in the contest, and 1t bid fair to
pass with but little, or no political coloring.
But during the day IT was discovered that
the democrats had undertaken a still hunt
for votes for their two candidates. Robert
Peregoy and DR.. Earl Bellinger. The post
office was flooded with several thousand
circular letters appealing for the votes on
straight partisan grounds, with some mis-
statements concerning the financial man
agement of the democratic school board.
II was claimed in the letters that the
democrats had reduced the bonded debt
OF the district $4,000 in the last two years, -
and this reduction included the first bonds
that had been paid for ten years.
The fact OF the matter is the finances
OF the district are in very bad shape. The
school taxes for years have been more
than half OF all the taxes paid, and de-
spite this there is bonded Indebtedness
greater than that OF the total debt OF the
city. The board has been democratic so
long that the memory OF republican days
has fled. but there has been no disposition
to hold the democrats responsible for high
taxes. or the S2O0OOO bonded debt, but IL
credit is claimed for the $4,000 reduction
Il must also be assumed for the 500 900
creation. The fact of the matter is the
board had no option in the matter. The
people voted the bonds and the board had
TO issue them. The board also had to pay
the $4,000 boosted of because the payments
were due and the tax levy to make the
payments could not be avoided.
The sudden partisan activity caused a
strong sentiment TO be awakened favOra-
BILE to the republican candidates, Dr. Mack
Hanchett and Henry Peterson, the law
partner Of City Solicitor Glen F. Kimball.
Both the young men are products OF the
local public schools and graduates Of the
high school. Dr. Hanchett Is the son Of
DR.. A. P Hanchett, one Of the members
OF the State Board of Health He is a
young man Of spotless character, as well
as high ability. and Mr.. Peterson has
shown himself TO be fully his equal
