The sheriff and nn Injunction practlcnlly
mispenOed Btrcet car traffic upon tlio
Twenty-fourth and tlio Tarnam street car
lines for ncvcral hours ycslorday afternoon ,
mid It was not , until way Into tlio nlglit that
the trains were running upon schedule time.
A lawsuit WOH tlio catlio of all of the
trouble , and the result of the la * null was
\\liitl canned people rcaldlnB In the north ,
uent and south portions of tliu city to have
to walk home.
On the evening of DeccmbT 21 , 18S9 , Mat
thew \V. Clalr wan going along North Pour-
tccntli street and at the Intersection of
Dodge he wan caught by the grip of a cable
train , knocked down and dragged alung ( he
track a dlHtanco Of something like se\enty
ftct. lie won cut and bruised to mich an-
extent that ho wu j connncd to his bed for n
period of six monthH. Upon Ills recovery he
Hiicd the Oniahn Street Hallway company for
dnmageH , alleging that he hail sustained In
juries In the Hum of $25.000 The case was
( ontlnuul from term to term until March ,
] fi'J2 , wh-n It was tried , and after a bitter
legal light the Issues were submitted to tlio
Jury anil a verdict for $5,000 returni d In
favor of the plaintiff. The case was ut once
appealed to the supreme court , where It re
mained until a few da > s ago , when the llnil-
Ing-i ( if the lower court were sustained and
the Judgment alllrrned. Last \Vcdnebday the
inundate of tlio supreme court was sent to
the tlcrk of the district court , and yesterday
afternoon an execution was Issued upon the
mine and placed In the hands of Deputy
Kliprlff Mnhoney for Bervlce.
Armed wllh this document , the deputy
vint to the Intersection of Sixteenth and
rarnam streets , where he waited for the
trains and motors which might happen to
pass that way He had not waited long until
lie had scooped seven motors and three
trailers Into his net. This rolling stock re
mained upon tlio track from the tltne of the
hol/iiro at 3 30 o'clock until late In the
afternoon , shutting off all of the east and
wcat and north and south tralllc. Just be
fore the C o'clock rush set In the street
railway people. In order to accommodate the
crowd , commenced running stubs from the
blockaded section , thus handling the tralllc
after a fashion , hater In the evening the
Blierlff hired some teams and hauled six of
the motors and all of the trailers down to
the end of the Sheely stub , here they were
run off the track , where they remained
until Judge Ambrose Issued an order to the
hhertff , Instructing that oniclal to return
them to the place from which they were
taken , and there turn them over to the
officers of the company.
AMUHOSi : SHTS TIIKM C50ING AGAIN.
In the early evening the attorneys for the
street railway company and the attorneys
for the plaintiff went before Judge Ambrose
at his room In the I'axton hotel , where they
engaged In a legal battle. The defendant
filed a petition , alleging that the street rail
way was a corporation engaged In convey
ing passengers and that as such It was not
subject to the general laws appljlng to levy
and execution. After making his argument ,
John L. Webster and John U. Howe , rep
resenting the company , nbked for a restrain
ing order , preventing the Mierlff from i > el/i-
Ing any more of the properly. They asKed
that the sheriff be compelled to place the
property back upon the tracks.
Judge Ambrose said that under the showIng -
Ing ho did not see how bo could deny the
order , which was afterwards entered , and
the case was set for hearing at 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
Frank T. namsom , one of the attorneys
representing the plaintiff , urged that a re-
jelvcr should be appointed to take charge of
tlio property and see that the debt was
paid. If this was not done , he said that
the payment of the Judgment might be tied
up for jears.
Judge Ambrose hold that there was no
necessity for such a course , as It had not
been shown that the company was insolvent ,
and again ho said that the street car lines
( \ero operated for the convenience of the
public.
Mr Hansom Insisted that It would bo Im
possible to secure any testimony from the
street car people.
Judge Ambrose was of n different opinion ,
ind declared that a Judgment properly en
tered and solemnly nfllrmed could bo col
lected without any great delay , and with
till : ) understanding of the case all of the
property was released , and before midnight
cars were running as usual.
Secretary Goodrlcli and General Manager
Bmlth of the street car company sild last
night , In discussing the sel/urc of the cars ,
that It was simply for the puiposo of re
venge. The power houses were full of cai
and motors , all of the summer equipment
uf tlio road being In these buildings. This
property Was worth ten times as much as
the Judgment , and could have been levied
upon , but the Idea , they claimed , was to
get bold of the rolling stock while In u&e
ninl tie M > the lines during the heavy after
noon business. They also stated that
though the Judgment was afllrmcd by the
supreme court , there had been no demand
made upon them for the pajment of the
I'lalm , and , as a matter of fact , they had no
olllclal knowledge that the supreme court
bad disposed of the case. The dumping of
their cars they denounced as a hlgh-hundcd
outrugo upon the part of some person , and
nn act which might possibly result In some
Interesting litigation.

Not since the memorable meeting of the
Imperial council of the Ancient Arabic Order
of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine In this
city In 1892 have there been so many fol
lowers of the itar and crescent encamped
about the valm trees of Tangier templa as
last night. The city was overrun With be-
fezzcd and bespangled shrlners , and the un
thinking , who knew little of the mystic rites
to be performed In the Masonic halls , Im
agined that an Arabic contingent of Kelly's
Cormnonwculers had slipped quietly Into the
metropolis fro h from the bands of Sahara ,
or those other rands which Irrigating ditches
In western Nebraska ore reclaiming fiom
their desert wastes.
The occasion for nil this display of tiger
claws , dlimonds , rubles and the "untold
wealth of Ormus and of Ind" was the In
vestiture of thlrtj-two novitiates with the
degree of the star and crescent.
In consequence of this notable cln s and
the notables from a half dozen oases present
by the cooling fountains that How nigh unto
Tangier , where milk and the sugar from
the flowering date tree could be had for the
asking , the sands burned lustrously while
the camels stumped their feet as they
scented the approach of the profane Never
has the pink-eyed , creamy-satined goat
from the temple of Osiris been In such high
glee , and the seekers after the wisdom of
the ancients , learned by devious palMvajs ,
that to let go the rope meant utter anni
hilation at the hands of the Hushl Baiourks
encamped on a neighboring oasl .
Work was begun at 5 o'clork , nnd not
until 11 were the laborers called from labor
to refreshment.
The banquet hall of the temple was
crowded with tables and loaded with all the
good things that Shrlners love to eat and
to drink , as well
Toward the midnight hour , when a faint
light began to clnso the shadows from the
east. Noble Hrail Slaughter , on Invitation of
Illustrious Potentate L. M. Aruleison as
sumed the chair of toastmaster , and
then on Into the carl ) IIOUM the
four hundred and odd Shrlners lis
tened to the medicine m n and pa'lins
nnd grand viziers of the order.
In view of the presence of quite sixty

Murltlus , potentate of the state house ag
gregation of bright fellows , was called upon
for a few words of felicitation of the oc
casion. J. W. Gclger , chief rabbai. of El
Klhir temple , Cedar Rapids , fa , fol
lowed with words of wit and wisdom. He
spoke of Kelly's army within his state and
paid a glowing tribute to Nebraska , and
more particularly to Omaha , for having un
loaded the Industrials upon the Hawkcyp
commonwealth. Other toasts were responded
to by Ed N. Cornish as representative of
the class last to be clothed In purple and
fine linen , Dr. M. H. Garten of Sesostrls ,
L. M. Rheem ot Tangier , Dr. Munroe ,
Dan Fleet , while A. L. Blxby , the

I little thought when on the train
I paid my ducatB for a ride
That lirad would cause me all this pain ,
This untold grief nnd wounded pride ,
I did not come prepnied to speak ,
I came you know the reason well
My tongue Is thick , my pencil weak ,
I came to inise a little money.
For what thus fur hits filled me full
Of fellowship and bottled beer , ,
I thank SesostilSufor my , pull

There were others who spoke of the
teachings of the Shrine , while humor and

I.ltlgntlon OtcfUhc 1'roprrty of n I'loncrr

The lawyers tfml the Interested partis have
slated a bitter tight In the contest of the will
of the late Edward F. Cook , who died In
this city a few weeks ago , and who left thfe
bulk of his properly to ono of the churches.
Yesterday , throueh an attorney , Wesley T.
Wilson , a ncphaw of the dead man , In
stituted a contest of the will , and In his
petition ho protests to the probating of the
document , which was filed with the Judge
of the probate court , soon after the death of
Cook. In objecting to the probate Wilson
alleges that the paper which was Hied was
not the last will of the deceased. He also
avers that Ednard F. Cook never signed ,
executed , or published the document as his
last will. After making these allegations
the afflant slates under oath that on February
2 , the day upon which the will Is claimed to
have been signed , his uncle was , on account
of his condition of body and mind , Incapiblo
of disposing of his property. This
will , ho declares , was secured by fraud
nnd the signature tn the same was obtained
by the use of undue Influence while the testator
tater was upon his rt ath bed. Discussing
the document filed as a will , the party con
testing nays that the document was torn
and obliterated with the Intention of revok
ing the same , and that the tearing and
mutilating was done In the presence of
the testator with his knowledge. The
terms of this document , the contestant al
leges , are Indefinite and uncertain with ref
erence to the legatees. More than all of
this , it Is alleged that the document Is not
attested according to law , thus making It
defective. Illegal and void , so far ns the be
queathing of the propel ty named therein Is
concerned.
No time has yet been set for the hearing
of the contest , but It Is stated that the par
ties claiming under the will Intend to make
a fight , Hbowlng that the document Is reg
ular and that Cook knew full well what ho
waa doing at the time when ho disposed of
his property.
1'rolmtp .Multern.
In the case of the Blair State bank
against the estate of the late Edmund Paul
son , the referee , to whom the whole matter
i\as referred , has filed his report with the
clerk of the district court. A vast amount
'of testimony was token , and as a result the
referee shows that the property of the es
tate aggregates $292,000 , the most of which
Is real estate , with $ J5,000 of debts and
mortgages.
Some time ago Marie I { oilman , as exe
cutrix of the estate of Meyer Helltmn , de
ceased , brought suit nnd secured a Judg
ment for $1,273 against S. A Sloman. Yester
day the defendant filed a motion , asking that
the Judgment be set aside , he alleging that

Now ami then we arc uonipliinenteil by utterances of a competi

We carry the produce of every big manufacturer of the land but
but not their ideas we have our ownway ] about that part. We carry
out our own program regarding material and workmanship , to fit
and suit our well ile.serv ing reputation. In other words a boy's suit
branded "Nebraska , " must be perfect and serviceable , and cheaper in
price or else it shall find place in other establishments not here
A Dollar for a dollar and half suit , Two Fifty for a first rate four
