A TRIAL REACHED AT LAST ,
The Vlatlnct Bond Inja notion Oaso Being
.Heard bj Judge Doanci
' 'THE CITY HAS ACTED IN GOOD FAITH. "
Bo Snys Mr. Popplcton Mr.
ton Ucvlcnvs the Mttintloti at
i Mr. Howe's i'o-
sltlon Oilier News.
Judge Doanc yesterday morning commenced
the hearing of tlio much discussed case of
Btuhl nnd Howe vs tlio city , to restrain the
latter from issuing and delivering to the
Union depot company $150,000 of coupon
toodH for tlio construction of a union depot.
The rending of plaintiffs petition occupied
nearly an hour.
"So far as tlio city's answer la concerned , "
eald Mr. Poppluton , "I do not know that It Is
necessary to read It. The only denial of ma
terial substance Hint wo inako Is thut there
was no attempt nt conspiracy oh the par ! of
the council. The city's ' understanding of
this contract Is that those honds nro deliv
erable to Ivountzo Urothors' han k at any tlmo.
The great point In thu case Is the delivery of
the bonds. The city has noted In good faith
in thU matter all along , and \ ( thcro has hccn
anything Illegal It Is for the plaintiffs to llnd
and show it. "
Mr. Thunton snld : "As to the answer of
the depot company , I had not expected to
participate In'this case , depending , as I did ,
that Mr. Green would attend to that , but ho
hud to leave the city Mondav. and there Is no
ono but mo to stand here. The now plt < n for
& union depot provides for nn expenditure of
KOO.oru inoro than the old one. Wo deny thut
the Union Pacific company has denied to
nny olhur rallroad > the right to enter this pro
posed ilopot. Prior to the completion of this
depot inure Is no objection on the part either
of the Union Pacillc company or the depot
company to make this grunt of permission ,
\Vo sot up that the depot company wont
ahead carrying out Its plans la good faith.
The company wont nhond and purchased
largo amounts of real ostnto that nro of no
Value to us except the obligations In question
On tbo part of the city ho kept. That Is nil
that I cure to say yet on tbo subject , "
"A great deal of what you huvo said , " ro-
tnarkcd Mr. Howo. "Is chcsttiutty. "
Mr. Thurston paid no attention , to the com
ment.
Mr. Howe proceeded to read affidavits of
plaintiffs. Ho commenced with a vorv
lengtny ono mndo by hltnsolf. It contained
nothing new and was given a verbal addenda
of snrc.istlc perorations directed toward Mr.
Thurjtou. The proceedings of the council
authorising Alvin Saundcrs to deliver to
the Union Paclllo railway company , deeds
to the depot , grounds , also all the proceedings
connected wltn the condemnation of property
for viaduct purposes ; anldnvits of J. D.
Taylor , treasurer of the union depot com
pany , nnd of Frame D. firown , treasurer of
the Union 1'aeIIlc railway company , were
read. Next came n rending of reports of
speeches mndo l > y Mr. Thurston nnd Mr.
Ilolcomb bcforo the real estate exchange
.luly 12 , 1880 , being before the election ut
which the bends were voted.
Mr. Thurston said that the report of his
speech on that occasion would have inado
four columns if all bo had said tuul been
printed. What Mr. Howe was about to read
was , Mr. Thurstoa said , simply a newspaper
synopsis.
Mr. Howe Informed the court that the re
port was taken down nt the time by Mr.
' 1'nurs ton's stenographer.
Then Mr. Thurston remarked that ho sup
posed It was materially correct.
Tuc newspaper report was then read. For
the most part it was u sumptous setting
forth of the grnndness of the proposed now
structure. In reading It Mr. Howe gave pe
culiar nnd Insinuating emphasis here aud
there , with the result of keeping bis
hcurors , even among the defendants and
Associates In a modQ of smiles most of tbo
time. Mr. Howe called attention to the fact
that the reports of the speeches were almost
identically the same In both of the leading pa
pers In the city. Then ho read newspaper
interviews on tbo subject with Mr.Thurston ,
nnd whllo doing so turned to the Unlou
Pacific's ' general solicitor and asked :
"John , don't this sound uaturall"
"Yes , " replied Mr. Thurston , "tho re
porters la Omaha have a habit of reporting
correctly what I say.1'
"Ah , yes I guess sol Queer Isn't U that
they take so much pains with what you savl
Own up now , John , that you have a little
hnblt of writing your own intorvlowsl"
Mr. Thurston's reply was to glvo Mr.
Howe a very direct glance.
Next Mr. Howe announced ho would read
card that ho put Into adally paper In replv to
something Mr. Thurston had written.
"I object to bis reading anything of that
sort , "Mr. Thurston remarked to the court.
The court smllud and swung round in his
chair.
"O don't bo afraid to hear it Johu. It won't
bo hard for you to tnko , "
"I llko to see people with nerve enough to
sign their names to what they writo. 1 al
ways do. ' *
' Guess you do , John , but ain't you sorry
for It every now and then { ' <
Mr. Thurston again acted on the sllcnco . ,
golden rule ; the court didn't speak , nnd Mr.
Howe went on to read his card which , In a
n word , proved to bo a kick ag'iinst the city
giving the depot company $ inOX)0. ( ) This lln-
ished ho read a very lengthy affidavit mndo
by Mr. Btuht , wherein the latter states that
the Union depot company is now in fact con
structing a depot building which is about
140x100. which dimensions nru about only ono
half ns largo as these described in tbo Hrsl
plans , adopted by the people , and are radi
cally and totally different from these describ
ed in tlio proposition adopted by the people.
At this point the noon recess was taken.
"Aro you getting most out of the brambles
connected with this thing and Hearing tbo
deep forests ] " asked Mr. Popploton of Mr.
Howe Just before the court resumed business
in tbo afternoon.
"What your sldo calls brambles in this
thing , " replied Mr. Howe , "wo catlmonarchs
of the forest. "
Judtfo Doano then took his seat , nnd Mr
Howe stopjwd forward with a blue prin'
drawing of the proposed depot ns voted for
by tbo people , and proceeded to show it to the
Judgo. At sight of it Mr. Thurston also steu-
pod forward with the remark : "That doesn't
show nearly as much ground as Is Included In
the structure now decided to be utilized by
the company. "
"Oh , that's ' nil right- * said Mr. Howe ,
"but this seems to bo a birdsoyo view from
n considerable distance high hi the air
that's the only difference , John. "
And then tbo two attorneys went nt it.
Mr.'Ihurston would point to a big door ana
Mr. Howe to a little ono ; Mr. Thurston to a
big space and Mr. Howe to a cramping of
space.
"All right , gentlemen ; ail right , now , " ex
claimed the court , llnally. "Wo will glvo
tlieso particulars due attention in tlmo. "
Mr. Howe proceeded to rcna the articles of
Incorporation of the Union depot company ,
and Mr. Thurston sat down. Attur the readIng -
Ing of the articles came minutes of meetings
01 tbo directors of the bridge company.
T hcso minutes show that at a meeting lieu
on November 10 , 1SS9 , the stock of the com
pany was subscribed tons follows :

Mr. Ilowo next reai' his own afildavlt to
the effect thut the bonds of the city outstaiid
ing at this time amounted to $1,000,000 , wltli
fc > 5,000 interest thereon. With this , Mr
Howe announced that bo had complete * ,
plaintiffs showing ,
Mr. Thurston took the floor and road at :
afudavlt inado by T. L. Klmball. It ussertoi
that the plans were ctiangcd at the express
request of the city council and the people o
Omaha , but "of course" were not cmplotet
until uftor the election ; that the company
has boon compelled to expend $50,000 mow
for land under the now plans than under tbo
old ; thcro are 1,700 square foot moro under
tbo new plan than under the old ; throa
stories devoted to depot punioscs In the oh
and four iu tie ) now ; the entire iloor space it
the now is40,000 feet moro than In the old
the most of the now building will bo tlvo
Htorles against three stories in the old. Atone
ono Unto whllo reading the very lougafll-
davit , Mr. Thuntou remarked that the
Jnlon Pflclflo had always lived up to Its con-
racts with the city ,
"Vcs It bust" sneered Mr. Howe ,
"Well , sir , " Mr. Thurston exclnlmed , "If
vouor anybody clso believes It Imsn'tyou
nro at liberty to begin suit Immediately on
the matter. "
"I would begin one next week In tlio nnrao of
tbe city If tbo city would give mo the per
mission , "
"Yes , nnd you would Ret Into sucb a snlt
ust as you nave Into this ono just as the
lair got Into tbo butter. "
"Tbo only illfTi'renco between us. " nald
Howe , hotly , "Is that I am working In this
suit for nothing nnd you are working for pay ,
ns ahlrcllnp. "
"Kxnctli- , sir ; " Thurston rololned , "and
woaro both getting pay In this suit according
.0 our value. "
Howe blushed and winced very nerccpt-
bly , everybody smiled very broadly , and
Mr. Thurston resumed his reading of Mr.
Klmball's nnidavit. Mr. Tburstou also road
nflldiivils nmdo by W. II. Ilolcomb. Super
vising Architect Duran and himself whicb
were of a natnro similar to that madu by Mr.
Kiniball. In bis own afllfJiwit Mr. Thurstoti
said that although the depot company wns
not compelled by the contract to arranco bo-
Toro the completion of ttio depot for the al-
owlnp of such roiiJs to use tbo depot , It was
ready to do so now ,
Mr. Howe nguin took the floor In robuttnl ,
nnd began by rending an nflldavlt tnodo by
Ilarry'Counstnan. ex-deputy city clerk , glv-
, nga description of tbo plans llrst filed and n ,
recital of conversations that ho bad with Mr.
Kiniball.
When Mr. Howe bad finished General
Dowln nddrcvieO the court. Ho said ho would
tnUo up but little tlmo ai tbo representative
of Mr. Stuht. The bonds should remain in
Lho hnntls of the comptroller because , liosald ,
It was plain that the depot company was not
carrying out the contract anil was acting in
bad faith with the citv. Ho was not/ho said ,
discussing whether tbo Union Pacitio had
complied with Its obligations to the city in
the past. If It had always complied with Its
contract In the past , however , why were
these bonds voted by the cllyl Ono instance
whcro the Union I'aclllo rnihvny company
bad not lived up to Its contract , the
speaker said bo remembered distinctly. It
was nt the tlmo Douglas county voted | 2r > 0-
300 to aid in constructing the Union Pacific
bridge. Ho was selected by the citizens of
Onmhn to meet President Dillon at the tiranil
Pacific hotel in Chicago on thosuboct. ] There
were ether Omnha citizens present. Ho ,
General Cowln , told Mr. Billion tbnt ho ,
Cowin , thought tbo city of Onmbn and Doug
las county should have some puaran-
too that the depot would como
to Omaha. In replv to this Mr. Dillon said
"Wo , the Union Pacific rail way compauy
propose to Imvo these bonus nnd wo will got
them wo shall have thorn. "
"I was squelched , " continued General
Cowin , " but I quietly advised my Omnha
friends , clients , not to lot the Union Pacific
railroad company huvo these bonds. Hut tbo
Union Pacilic railroad company pot the
bonds , nnd did Omaha got the depotj No ,
your honor , no , gentlemen no. The donot
went to Council Bluffs everybody knows.
There , I charge , Is ono instance , Mr. Thurs
ton , where tbo Union Pacilic railway com
pany grossly and wilfully went back on Its
contract. Thcro are others , but I will not
take up the time of tbo court to recount
them. I want to say , however , that before
Omaha , gives over those bonds , now In ques
tion , it would pay her a thousand fold
to erect n union depot all alone , nil
from her own pocket , nnd then and only then
would she bo sure of getting1 a reul , a Kcnui"o
union depot n union depot in every acnso of
tbo word , a union depot that would bring
within her boundaries nll.railroadsand there
by glvo her tbo benefit that she is now blind
ly paying for. No ; ns a citizen , an inter
ested citUcti of Omaha , nil apart from my
connection with this case , I say
neverlot these bonds bo given
to the Union Paclllo railway company ; tbo
Union Pacific railroad goes directly back on
its obligation1) , its contracts goes back upon
its sworn pledges. Ichtirgothut Instead of tbo
union depot company holding thomsclvos in n
position to glvo other roads nn opportunity to
como In to such rv structure ns is proposed ,
they have simply given away their right to
railroads simply turned our guns and ammu
nition ever to the enemy. In regard to giving
the deeds to the depot company , I would say
that that stands in the same situation as the
bonds. "
The hearing will bo resumed at 10 o'clock
tills morning.

onioy of the board was sent to Council
Dluffs to see If any trnco of him could bo

visit to the Bin Its nnd went out Into the

Kmerlck was Jiving with his slstor. Mr.

and the house and lot in Wcsi Lincoln that

Ing the disposition of the remains of J. Ed

caught in the freight elevator there
about n month ago. The letter
sUtci that Knowlos has n wlfo and child
Lhcro , and the first Intimation they had of
Ills death was a newspaper clipping. The
body was sent at the time to the homo of
Knowles'father in Cuihortson , and it Is re
garded as rather queer that his wi'e and
child were not uotlHed 01 his death. It will
be remembered that nt the time it was said
there \viw something df a mystery about the

The civil rights case in which Henry Pfeiffer -
for , n colored inaa , was the plaintiff , and
Frank Duncan , the proprietor of the Depot
hotel , was the defendant , had an airing in
Justice Foxworthy's court todav. The col
ored man was aggrieved because Duncan had
refused him. looging at thut inn , and what
ranked In I'fcllTor's breast
most was that ho
formerly owned the hotel where ho was refused
fused lodging. Unfortunately for PfellTor
thu casu was not properly presented , and us a
prominent legal light who was present , ex
pressed It : "Tho case was lost and Duncan
was discharged for want of successful prose
