THE GARNISHEE CASES.
Called up in Justice Swearin
gon's Court
PART OF THEM SETTLED.
A ComDllcation of Legal Techni
calities Exhibited In the Car
nlshne Cases Now Pend
ing at Council Bluffs.
The World Herald thin morning
has the following to say eoneernin
the garnishee cases perilling in
Justice Sweari gen's court in Council
Mull's which were called up yester
day: .
"Twenty-live cases were .settled
without trial by the payment by
thi? defendants f tlie money
claimed from them, together with
court cr,i-t.-. Kighteen of the other
were found to be of no account be
cause of tin fact that the parties
..tied unJ ganiinhrd had nothing
coming to them 4tnin the I ;nrl i n Li -ton
A Missouri. The trial of the
lir.Ht case of the remaining twenty
live was .set foi yesterday, and it
was heard an 1 submitted, although
there was a mi iking l-.rl; of im
portant u i! ne.-e.-. The r-st for
this absence ue eloi.-rl v.'l.en the
attornej for the Sim i City parih-.s
showed an injtim't'oti proi un.l at
riattsiiioiiili, iiii;1 i.-stii-d Irom the
court of Hon. Samuel Ch.ipman in
a suit entitled ('. li. luk- and
others against i'. J. 1! inset! and
others. I.i tilis'silit the plaintitls
.are the railroad men whose wages
were garnished iu the twei.ty live
remaining units, and the defend
ants aiji" the parties who originally
held the claims against tlie plaiu
titfs, and who, it is alleged, trans
ferred without consideration and
fraudulently these claims to W. K.
Fruserat Siouv City for the purpose
of avoiding the Nebraska law. of
exemption.
Iu the petition iu the injunction
it is recited that the alleged claims
were fraudulently transferred to
eraser, and the plaintitls declare
that it is impossible lor (lie suits
against them to be pushed here
without the assistance of the
J'latlsiuouth iiii-ii, who are alleged
to hav transferred their claims to
Fraser. They then-lore ask for an
injunction preventing the defend
ants from being present, aiding,
abetting, assisting or iu any man
ner helping Fra.cr in his suit by
giving tesliiiilnty, as witnesses or
any other manner. Judge Chap
man issued the injunction andthe
Sioux City panics have been driven
ti file an amended and substituted
petition iu all their suits mid have
attached special interrogatories
anil they ask the court tu order
the witnesses to be present and an
awer the name. It is thought iu Miis
manlier they cam compel the wit
nesses to be present and testify in
spite of the injunction.
The issuances of an injunction by
a Nebraska judge to prevent person
from appearing before a court in
the state .of 'own as witnesses
makes, the situation decidedly
novel.
The suits now pending here have
caused an immense lot of trouble
iu I'lattsiiioiith since they were
started. A number of the persons
wlio originally held the claims and
transferred them to Sioux City
parties have been arrested on ac
count of their alleged violation of
the Nebraska statute, and threats
have been made by the railroad
men against whom the garnish
meiis suits were brought to have
Webster and H. S. Dunkel of Sioux
City, who has been assisting in the
prosecution of the suits, arrested
if they are ever caught on Nebraska
soil."
Thirty Years Separated.

It is the lirsl time in thirty years
that the four have been together,

fact that they concluded to meet

Several freight cars ran off the

uud, while the railroad employes
were getting them on, a crowd
gathered around. John Iuiuiel was

engine pulled the cars by a long
iron rope the link slipped. Hew

struck Inline! in the cheek, literally
tearing it open from the cheek bone

A dispatch iu the morning papers
dated at Keewanee, 111., says:
"Nebraska on Wheels" was sailing
today over territory visited last
year and no less than Kl.iKK) visited
the train at Oneida, (inKi, and Ke
wanee. The train was opened this
evening to accomodate the crowd.
v... i. : i . , ,
.oiiniig worus oi praise was
heard on all sides and they all say,
"We believe you." Several heavy
land owners and money lenders
have visited the train today, and all
say they think their investments are
first class.
r. H. Moore, one of the advisory
board, has gone into Chicago to per
fect arrangements with the Wabash
road for our eastern trip. Tumor
row the train will complete its tour
over the Hurlington route, iroinir to
Chicago and leaving early Wednes
day morning for North Winchester,
Ind. District fair officials of Water
loo, Ind., wired the exhibit manage
ment today requesting the train to
visit them this week. Owing to the
route being billed in advance it was
impossible to comply with their
request.
(Juite a sensation was caused on
train No. 3 at the Ashland depot
last evening. Seven young hood-
hints went down to Ashland on the
freight in the morning from Lin
coln, arriving there at 3 o'clock.
Several robberies were committed
during the day, and some money
stolen, and suspicion was directed
to this gang of seven. The officers
followed them to the depot, and
when about to arrest them they
rushed upon the cars, followed by
the officers. A chase through the
cars took place and they were
finally captured and searched.
Considerate amounts of money and
also a lady 'a gold watch were found
secreted upon them. It ia gen
erally believed to be a gang whose
capture would b-j of . interest lo
some community.

The Fremont Tribune in speak
ing about the joint debate at Craw-
ford between J. K. Frick of Kreii.ont
and Matthew tiering of this city
says: "Gering i.s not a student of
the questions of the day. His
education along these lines is
derived principally from the edi
torials of second-rate democratic
newspapers, catch phrases, befogg
ing ami misleading statements,
half-told facts, which are worse
than the lie outright. lie tugged
and strained to tower up to Mr.
Frick's height, but it was no use, he
was a pigmy still. He lost himself
in the maze of his own glowing
rhetoric. He skipped and gamboled j
about among the propositions laid
down by Mr. Frick.but he disturbed
them not. His Kuglish was good,
his rhetoric faultless, his manner
pleasing, but he produced no facts,
established no principles, and left
his hearers unsatisfied with lame
conclusions. This morning no
democrats could be found. Mr.
Frick's plain, matter-of-fact manner
and his candor go a great way iu
fixing principles anil facts."
SITUMIL I..WV nivUSloN.
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction Cloudy has announced
the following decisions upon ques
tion raised iu regard to the inter
pretation of the school law: The
board of education in a city may
make and enforce a regulation
making the suspension of a pupil
the punishment for injury to or de
struction of city property. It is not
necessary to the validity of a vote
cast at a school meeting that the
voter shall be cither a citizen of the
United States or that he shall have
ueciareu lus intention to Decoine a
citizen. In the employment of a
teacher the board is not bound by
any action ihe voters may take
relative thereto at the annual meet
ing. The tdattitcs empower the
board to select and to contract with
teachers. The only conditions that
entitle one to school privileges in a
given district are school age and
residence in the district. The fact
that one owns property iu the dis
gives him no school rights. Super
intendent Cioudy renfVirms the de
cision of Superintendent Lane made
several years ago to the etfect that
a school board has no right to
make a contract with a teacher,
which contract is to be wholly or
largely carried out in the year fob

Ccliikktsox. Neb., Oct. 4 The
county seat war ended very sud
denly about daylight this morning.
Adjutant General Vifquain, iu re
sponse to a telegram received by
linn at hxeter yesterday in two
hours had four companies of mili
tia ready to move and trains
steamed up to carry them to the
seat of war. He then boarded the
flyer, and arriving at Culbertson at
2 o'clock this morning wentdirectly
to Sheriff H. A. Dennis' house,
routed him out of bed and to
together they went to the court
house, where but six men were on
guard. The general informed the
officer that he must exhaust all his
resources before the power of the
state conld be called, which it was
plain he had not done, and ordered
him to go forthwith to Trenton, re
turn with the records and stop fool
ing, all of which was obeyed with
alacrity.
1 lie Hitchcock county suit
trouble began six years ago, an
election having been held Novem
ber 111, ISSil, which resulted in a vic
tory for Culbertson. the vote stand
ing three to one. Two years later
Trenton attempted to call a second
election but failed.
The Trenton people made the last
petition June Z, 1W-, to which
Culbertson excepted, but owing to
a majority of the county coauuis
sionera being iu sympathy with
Trenton the Culbertson people
were refused permission to tile i
remonstrance or contradict the
petition, which fact constituted one
id the main points iu the case in
error brought by the Culbertson
people in the supreme court.
The election was held Julylti, lM'.fJ
and resulted in n majority of three
votes in favor of the Trenton con
test. I'roceedmgs were at once

coroner and the commissioner,
were served with a restraining
order enjoining them from remov
ing the records, but they refused to
accept the service by wire and
there is where the light began. The
clerk and treasurer took an active
part iu the removal, whi'.e the
sherilf declared he could do noth
ing. As many as fifty shots were
11 red last Sunday, and at one time
four men were stood up iu a row to
lie shot. Had a man been killed or
even wounded, a bloody riot would
have ensued. Thirty wagon loads
of armed men came in from Tren
ton, kicked in the court house door
and began carrying out the records
when the firing began. The city
marshal called out the entire popu
lation, with all sorts of weapons.
Luckily no blood was shed, and to
day both parties are laughing over
their foolishness.
General Vifquain this morning
wired Acting Governor Majors that
peace had been restoied andthe
records returned. He has dismissed
the. militia and released the trains.
Had the sheriff done his duty the
state could have been .saved about
$700. Vifquain read the sheriff a
