Trials at Court

More new suits have been filed
to the May term Of the circuit
court.
Archie Inman has sued Chaun-
cey A. Sharp for breach Of COW
enant. He recites that he con-
tracted for the purchase Of GER
tain lands from Sharp for $15,-
600 and that he did buy said land
and, at the time of contracting
for the land there was a wind
mill standing on it worth $50.
He states that between the time
of the contract and the transfer
of the land, Sharp removed the
windmill and for this he is suing
the defendant.
James S. Williams sues Joe w.
Ingram to recover a promissory
note for $4,000 and a deed Of
trust to secure the same. He
says that Ingram agreed in Feb
ruary to secure him a loan of
$4,000 and that he gave Ingram
the note for the money together
with a deed of trust on certain
lands for security. He also paid
Ingram $10O for securing the
loan. Now, he says, Ingram has
failed to negotiate the loan and
holds the note and deed Of trust
refusing to return it until plain
tiff signs an agreement to not
demand the return of the $100
commission. Therefore plaintiff
asks that defendant be enjolned
from negotiating the note and
deed of trust and that he be
compelled to return the same and
make all proper restitution in the
matter.

CYCLONE VICTIM BURIED
Mat Mcdonald, Killed at
Omaha Brought. Here
for Burial

The destructive cyclone which
struck Omaha 3 weeks ago
claimed a victim from this
county in the person of Mat Nc
Donald, son of Oliver and Mrs.
Mcdonald who formerly lived
near Hamden in this county. Mat
had been employed in Omaha for
some time and made his head
quarters at Rallston, a suburb
where he roomed and boarded.
When the terrible wind struck
the city no part of it suffered
more than Rallston and the
people were scattered like
feathers with the wrecks of
buildings. Mat was struck in
the side by a flying piece of
timber which practically went
through his body. He was alive
when found but died soon after,
and practically all evidences of
identity having been destroyed,
he was buried with numbers
| of the dead. Members of his
family tried every way to get
information concerning his safe
ty, but on the meager descrip-
ton furnished by the coroner
alone did any of them suspect
that he was dead.
Acting on this, Mrs. Jas.
Cullen of New Cambria, a sister,
went to Omaha Saturday, had
the body exhumed and found il
to be that of her brother. She
brought her brother here Sun
day night and Monday he wa;
taken to the home of Jas. Clavin
his brother-in-law where hi:
aged mother lives, and the mex
i day the funeral procession wend
led its way over very bad road
I to Immaculate Conception Gem
etery at Hamden where inter
ment was made, a number o.
friends of the family being pres
ent in spite of most unfavorablt
weather and roads.
/ Mat Mcdonald was born Feb
25, 1865 and was never married

About Street Lamps

The city council is still talking
street lights. 1t was stated un-
officially by one of the aldermen
that Mr.. Taylor who has the
light plant had obtained three
automatic lighting types o +
street lamp and that he was to
install these on posts near his
home to see how they operated.
If they were successful, they
might be placed on alllamp posts
in case the lights were made use
of by the city. Alderman Thrash
also mentioned unofficially that
he thought that he thought that
the lights would be more yalu-
able in winter than in summer.
Just what will be done is not
known yet but it is hoped that
some sort of arrangements can
be made for lighting the muddy
crossings on dark nights.

The Insurance Tax

AT the city council meeting
Monday the matter of income
from the occupation tax of $3.50
per annum levied on each insur-
ance company doing business in
this city was brought up. Some
one mentioned that the income
was $50 per year but the col
lector stated that in reality it
was only about $50 which makes
it apparent that only seven in
surance companies are being
handled in this city instead of
the twenty or thirty many per-
sons suspect.

new CITY COUNCIL MEETS.
Reduced Pool Hall Licenses
Appoint Officers-Other
Business

was held Monday night with all
present, including an audience
which helped the council in set
ting affairs of difficulty.
The report of the treasurer
showed on hands Monday night
to the city's credit a balance
$9OO.45. Over 5000 had been
collected since the last previous
Wednesday.
One bill of $500 was allowed
A.. M. Childs for printing. The
collector then submitted his list
Of delinquent taxpayers, both on
personal and real estate. There
was delinquent in personal tax
$90.25 and in realty, $1,000.
When this is collected, the re-.
port will show that $12O1. Is was
collected in city taxes during the
past year.
E. B. Kellogg asked the coun-
Gil to remit the occupation tax of
$3.50 on each insurance company
insuring risks here, stating that
the companies had added 20 per
cent. to premiums on business
building risks on account of this
tax. While at the outside the
city would not get more than
$3.50 per year out Of this tax the
city paid at least $500 per year
more for its insurance. He
stated he believed this 20 per
cent. addition would be deducted
automatically from every risk as
soon as this tax was removed but
Alderman Moore and several
others wanted to be sure of it
and a committee consisting of
Alderman Moore, Thrash and Hill
were appointed to Investigate
and report at the next meeting.
If the insurance companies
promise a removal of this ad-
ditional charge for insurance the
tax probably will be removed.
The licenses ofpool and billiard
tables also was reduced to some
thing like a reasonable figure at
this meeting. It has been at the
rate of $50 for each table every
six months, or, $40 per year.
]. C. Evans of Benedict, Kansas
applied for a license to operate
three tables in the Moorman
building and this brought up the
discussion of rates. It was de-
cided by comparison with rates
in other cities that the rates
here were too high so a new
ordinance was drafted reducing
the license to $40 for each table
every six months, or $50 per
year which corresponds more
nearly with rates in other
cities.
The appointment of appointive
officers was taken up and M. W.
Anderson was reappointed
Treasurer and ]. D Taylor, city
attorney. The other appointive
offices were laid over to the next
meeting.
The mayor has decided to have
a report of the city finances read

council and have such monthly

men can have access to it for
the purpose Of ascertaining the
city's financial condition from
time to time.
The council adjourned to meei
Wednesday night to pass on the
revision Of the pool and billiard
table ordinance and to issue Mr.
Evans license.
