TIME.
Poem by DR.. c. W. zimmerman

EOGul DN III - W +AAAAA-A~- 'iANA-AF
Times ushered in, and life untolds
And mortal man 5 careers begun
And minutes pass to MS untold,
Like years gone by or ages run.
With care our lives are measured now
And few the trials of life that last,
Until our peaceful slumbering brow
Is awakened from the dormant past.
Life's Clock rings out the hour of one;
Our bodies grow, our minds expand;
More active now our lives become,
Directed by Divine command.
The hand points now to figure two,
And as developments are slow,
We do not clearly see in view
Our mission in this world below.
But as approaching figure three
Rings out upon our restful ear
From infants slumbers now more free,
Our lives more sprightly doth appear.
As time rolls on to figure four,
We gain in strength of mind and might,
And catch a glimpse of future hours
That pives us life and strength and power.
Time passes on to figure five
The hour most dark before the day,
When we imagine all in life
OF every good has gone astray.
But davbreak comes with figure six,
Maturer years we now possess.
And to our lives and minds prefix
No thoughts of uncontrolled distress.
As on we look to figure seven
In manhoods vigor, strength and prime
We have no thought that shades of evening
Will fall upon us all in time
Time marches on to figure eight,
And we become progressive peers;
All needless of impending fate,
Or thoughts of ever ending years.
And now we come to figure nine
Not old as yet, with posture bent,
And vet our lives are on decline
And that without our will $ consent.
At the approach of figure ten
| That energy that once was ours
Begins to flag we notice then
Declining years and vital powers.
Time brings US now to figure eleven,
Unsteady steps our strength betrayS;
Lies level road becomes uneven
And points to us fast numbered days.
We still survive, and figure twelve
Rings out her last refrain.
| We totter, fall, life is withheld,
| And we return to earth again.
Hark from the Belfry in the tower
A last sound comes but is not heard,
By those who's time on earth's no more
Whose forms lie cold and undisturbed.
TheClock has stopped time shere no NOR
To those whose weary lives have run;
Nav they have reached that bissful shor
Where tolls and care are known no more

Council Bluffs,
Merit King Acquitted
on HOldup Charge
Jurors Accept Alibi in Case Where
One Man Turned States
Evidence.

jury in the district court yesterday
afternoon returned a verdict OF acquittal
for Mert King indicted on the charge Of
participating in tho Paramount park hold
ups on the evening of January 4. The
state submitted an apparently flawless line
of evidence Identifying King as one OF the
trio OF masked bandits who committed four
robberies near the park in the early part
Of that evening
The first part Of the evidence was the
confession OF Gordon Bowers, WHO detailed
all Of the happenings of the evening, be-
ginning with the discussion Of the plan TO
60 out and hold up somebody to get some
money the bandits needed to buy drinks,
ending with a fun description Of the park
incidents and the movements of the men to
conceal their identity after the crimes
were committed. Every part of this evil
dence was corroborated by a number OF
witnesses, including two Of the holdup
victims, Meek and Book whose identified
ton OF King as the man who searched
them and into whose eyes they looked
while an electric arc light twenty-five feet
away was shining full upon his face. Ac-
cording to Bowers testimony the bandit
trio, King. sculley and Bowers, were in
the park before O'clock and at 7S5 the
first robbery occurred
1t was this definite fixing Of time that
saved King. The defense put on the wit
ness stand Conductor Galbaugh. who said
he had known King intimately since 1902,
and that on the night Of January King
got off his car at Broadway and Eighth
street at 7:35 o'clock. He produced his
time report for the day to show that II
was just 7:35 when his car reached Eighth
street
Kings own testimony had been previously
given in which he declared he got off the
car at Eighth street, out it was connected
with another remarkable statement. King
said he left Mortensen's saloon on Six
thenth avenue and Ninth street at 1880
walked three blocks east to Sixth street
and took Manawa car to come up town
He left the car at Pearl and Broadway
and walked east to Main street and then
down North Main TO Max Olsen's saloon,
a distance of two and a half blocks, where
he took another drink. He then left that
saloon and walked to the lessen saloon,
near the Northwestern depot where he
spent some time in drinking. He then took
a Broadway car and got off at Eighth
street, accomplishing the tremendous jour
ney in just five minutes. The jury be-
lieved It and accepted the positive state
ment OF Conductor Galbaugh that King
got off his car at 1856 BY actual computa-
ton the journey would require more than
forty-five minutes.
King, however does not get his liberty
He was held on another Indictment con-
nected with the park holdups. where the
witness is J. w. Book. one
of the four victims. He will be tried on
this indictment at the August term OF
court and will lie in Jail unless he can
secure bail.

fled to the good character of King. al |
though they knew little about him in re-

City Auditor McAneney has prepared his
annual report for submission to the city
council at the meeting. 1t shows that all
of the appropriations made for the general
fund we're used, although small balances
remained in all of the funds with the ex-
ception of the city electricians department,
emergencies and city health, absorbing all
of the balances and leaving a net total
deficit of sl,02s.7S. The electrician over
drew his appropriation to the extent of
s6l.97. and there was a deficiency Of S1,73L51
in the emergency fund. In the health de-
partment the shortage Of funds amounted
to S21.9s.
The smallest balance was in the fire de-
partment, f1.a and the largest in the
engineering department, where Mr.. Etnyre
found himself at the end of the year with
all Of the work Of his office we'll up to date
