8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ; THURSDAY. DECEMBER 28 , 18l)3.q ) HITCHCOCK WEARIES THEM Members of License Board Tell Him that Ho Makes Them Tired. GREAT DEAL OF FUSS BUT NO FIGURES ComntlMlonnr * Decide to Adopt Tlictr Own Coiino nml T ko Tcntlmony Hone with I.onc-Winiloil UitrniiRiios Mntlo Only for Dolny. Gilbert M. Hitchcock , who , from an office down on Farnain street Insists on issuing the Uallv Mistake , was before the license board again last night to protest against the Issuance who had published ance of licenses to applicants lished their notices In Tun Kvnsixo. Ur.n , and for three long hours ho dodged the issues by refusing to make a showing in his onslaught against the saloon men who had failed and refused to drop their dollars Into his coffers. n. As n an the mooting was called to order this man walked up to the desk of the clerk of the board , where ho deposited llfty protests against that many parties who hail Ignored his plaintive appeal to publish their no'tlrcs In the World-Herald. With these protests ho filed another paper showing that ho had withdrawn the protests filed ngalnst Miller & Stotcnborg , Louis Schm'dt and Jacob ttowor. for the reason that these three parties had como to time and had rach dropped the sum of $ y.5 ! ! Into the till of his Dally Fake. Disposing of this part of the program the board attempted to do business , but the attempt was a dismal failure , simply for the reason that Mr. Hitchcock availed himself of everv opportunity forgetting under cover. In the ilrst place ho wanted to know how ho happened to bo knocked over the ropes in the Fred Met/ case , which was tried Tues day night. llomliiilril of Julian KriMorM Ilrclalnn. Upon this subject the gentleman was In formed that the Undines in the case were in strict accordance with the decision rendered by .1 micro Koysor one year ago. Having winded himself in another lone talk Attorney Dick Hall jumped to the relief ot Mr. Hitchcock and reviewed the action of the board in reference to its course In pasblng upon the Mcu caso. Mayor Bemis , as chairman of the board , said that ho was tired of long speeches and was anxious to got down to business. For the time hoinp this throttled Mr. Hall ntid tlicu the members of the board stated that thov were ready for the start , and asked which of the cases should TJC tried lirst. After some discussion It was decided that the protest against the issuance of the license to Andrew- Nelson should bo called for hearing. 1'rlvnlouR nml MnllrlniiH I'rotoat. In behalf of Mr. Nelson Mr. E. llosewater presented the following : In the matter of the application of Andrew NoNon for license to sull liquor , conius now the applicant herein anil alluces that the re- iiioiistninco Hlrd by Ollberl M.

Tills throw Hall into a violent rage , in which he aoused the editor and about every body connected with TUB BEE , oven to the ofllco boy.A A Fraud on the Hoard. In reply Mr. Kosewatcr insisted that the remonstrance to the granting of the license was without any standing and that it was u fraud perpetrated upon the board. Ho urged that there was no auch paper pub lished in the city as the Daily World-Herald and in support of the assertion produced copies of the papers which Mr. Hitchcock is Issuing , together with letter heads and other oflico supplies of the sheet. Ho showed conclusively to the ooa'rd that Hitchcock's attempt to get money from the jialoon men and the druggists was In the nature of an extortion aud that in all in stances where he could gel JIISS each from the applicants ho had withdrawn his pro tests. ' The fact of protesting the 200 appli cants was a disgrace and ono which should not he tolerated by the board. Hitchcock trleil to reply by maintaining that by the bunching of all of his editions ho had the largest circulation in the city , but this fell flat when Mr. Hosewator showed that each million was a separate paper and that if all wcro hunched they would not equal ono edition of TUB HKB. Continuing his remarks Mr. llosowatcr argued that the only question which could bo ralacd against the applicants was the question of good faith when they inserted tholr notices In THE Ilcis. During all this time Hall was uneasy in his cha'.r and when ho got a chance to talk ho Insisted that no man could dictate to him , nor could ho ho controlled by any members of the board. Mr. Smith informed him that the boird did not want to control any per son , all that It wanted was to get started ind dispose of the ca&cs. Mr. Uosowater stated that ho was ready to go upon the witness stand and give testi- piony , but the way the matter was being run It was an infamous farce and a disgrace. If ho tcstillcd ho wanted to sco the board mnUo the protesting party bring before the board the paper which he called the Daily World-Herald and show up Its circulation , us what was fair to uno siuo was fair to the other. This brought Hall to his feet with a pro- tcbl , claiming that It was not the thing for his client to ho compelled to show his hand , even If ho was the protesting party. Mr , Hosewator ropllcd by saying that the rciiionslrator ouKlit to show us much KOO'l faith us ttio npplk'iints , and tliat if the re- moiistrator would not i roilucu his books the boartl could not get at the question of circu lation. \Voiihl Not Talio Him Up. E. W. Slmcrnl offered to quit , the field II thu Kvciilnp or the Morning World-Herald could show a circulation of 7,000 , but neither Mr. Hall nor Mr. Hitchcock accepted. though Hall insisted that Mr. Hoscwatcr was responsible for the dt'lay , Commissioner Hartnian said that ho vrns tired of the dilatory tncvtlcs purbucd by the Hitchcock crowd , and Vuguested that the board had uuout decided to adopt its own coin-so and take the testimony of the applicants and grant licenses if everything wns found in piopcr shape. If the board then committed a wrong there was a remedy In thu courts. This did not strike Mr , Hall as the proper thing to tlo , but ho was shut oil by the mayor , who urged that the board could not spend the entire time in listening to argu ments of attorneys , particularly \vhcn the arguments hail no bearing upon the issues which which weio umliTronsidin-.iUou , It was family a triced to hold unothor ses sion this afternoon at - o'clock , at which time witnesses will be subpncnacd to give testimony , and if they uo not appear the board will test the question of whether or not the bpdv lias the right to Usuo inocess and cnfurco its obeyanco.

Lilly was ono of the oldest residents of the city and near the point of three ssoro years , which Is also about the ago of the parties arrested.

Two men , Jc tin Homp'.oman as the plain tiff ! and C. O. Killing as the defendant , have gone Into the couvtn , where they have asked Judge Ambrose to decldo the merits of a trade which they made last January , and which Involves the tltlo to the block of frame store buildings at the northwest corner - nor of Sixteenth and Davenport streets , as well as the tltlo to sotnn land down In Sarpy county. Hemploman claims that for a long time ho was owner of a tract of 1(53 ( acres of land down In the vicinity of Bellevue , aim that during all of this time it has produced crops which have boon the pride and envy ot the neighbors for miles around. About the middle of last January , he avers , ho was in thoclty andc.imo In contact with the de fendant. Together they walked the streets , gazing into the windows of the larRO stores until EJllusj suggested that ho was the owner of some property that was as good as could bo found. Homplcman wan'oJ to see the particular tract and later on in the day vns allowed to Raze upon the corner lot vhlch Is now the subject of ono end of the ontiovcrsy. About this time Ilompleman ventured the pinion that ho had something that was liet- or than town property , but. as ho had tired of farming , ho would trade for some dirt In own. Krtllng wanted to know what this vas thai was moro valuable than a town lot ind was informed that it was a tarm in Sarpy county , near a point where the nighty Missouri always Hews along in Its course to the sea. Going out into the alley ho two men pot down In the snow , where lomplcinan diagrammed in the snow an out- ino of that Sarpy county farm , showing the groves , the nulnvaictl land and the location vlth reference to the surrounding towns ind railroads. After bantering ono another for an hour or moro the two men got to the point where they could agree upon the prices , terms and all of the minor details. Then they quit for the day , agreeing to get together at some other time and pass the titles. That time lover came and that is the reason the two men are In the courts now feeing lawyers aud lighting a legal battle. The plaintiff in the case claims that at all ilmos since thojlrst talk ho has been ready and willing to turn ever his frtrm in ox- hango for thoOtnatia lot , but that Edllng las failed to do his share in making the .racto . a go , "and that now ho absolutely re- 'uses ' to confer with reference to the deal. To all of this Kdling replica , alleging that when first ho talked trade ho was acting in food faith , but that subsequently ho learned that the Sarpy county larm was nothing but i bar in the river , the most of which" was covered with water and willows and was suitable for nothing but the raising of bull frogs.
