Boll. Heretofore they have done pretty much
as they please , and only three or four of

Itcpp the account. The delinquents were

commissioners. In which It was stated that
the work now being done on Falrmount park
would necessitate the removal of .1,000 yards
of earth , and It was suggested that the city
use It to flll the streets around Cochrnn
park. The commissioners would load the
wagons and pay C cents per yard for the
removal of the earth If the city would do the
rest.
rest.Alderman
Alderman Keller thought the grading of
only half of the street would put It Into such
a condition that accidents would be likely
to happen , for which the city would bo liable
for damages.
Alderman Spetman suggested that 3,000
yards would make at most only n temporary
grade and would not make any very notice
able difference in the two sides of the street.
The matter was Ilnally referred to the com
mittee of the whole , who It was arranged
should meet the park commissioners thlb
morning early and look over the ground to
gether.

worK this week and Judge Lewis will hold

Yesterday the case of the city against Mc-
Caddcn was tried and submitted. Mc-
Cadden was manager of a circus that ex
hibited hero nnd was arrested for not paying
the full license Imposed by the city ordi
nances , a special arrangement having been
made with the mayor , In accordance with
what was nt that time the custom. Mc-
Cadden was discharged , but the case was
taken up from police court on an appeal
for the purpose of testing the validity of the
ordinance. There eems to bo some doubt
us to whether the city has a right to an
appeal. At all events the ordinance has
been changed so that the mayor now has the
right to do what he has always been doing

and Collier , who had been fined for fighting ,

proceedings commenced before Justice Me-
Candlcss Saturday evening , when Matt Gcr-
Ing of Plattsincuth appeared with n number
of witnesses to the shooting affair at I'latts-
mouth which resulted In the death of Wil
liam Holt. One of the witnesses was Mike
Ityan. the man who was with Holt at thr
time the latter wai killed. It will be re
membered that Suddlth had been suorn In as
deputy marshal. When the fracas occurred
Suddlth commanded Ityan to halt and at the
same time fired several shots to emphasize
his cjiiunniicl. At first It was believed that
Suddlth would simply be charged with as
sault with Intent to kill , but after consulta
tion with the attorneys It was decided to
make a complaint against Suddlth charging
him with being an accessory to the murder
of Holt. A warrant was Issued for his
arrest. Constable Ilartram did not go to
Waverly to arrest Suddlth until this fore
noon. When the constable arrived at
Waverly he learned that Suddlth had come
to Lincoln for the purpose of giving himself
up. Suddlth appeared before Justice Mc-
Candlcis at noon and will have a hearing
later.
PERHAPS IT WAS MURDER.
Some newly discovered evidence In the
Houston-Rrnu case lends the probability of
murder tu a case which already has a num
ber of Interesting features. Jain ! Houston
was found dead on the railroad tracks near
Lincoln on the morning of March 30 , 1889.
His widow sued a saloon keeper named Grati
for $5,000 damages for selling her husband
liquor upon which he became Intoxicated
and thus lost his .life by going to sleep on
the tracks. The jury recently decided In
favor of Mrs. Houston , and after n motion
for a new trial Saturday evening a man
named C. S. Wray called upon G. M. Lam-
bertson , one of the attorneys In the case ,
and told him that he was with Houston the
evening before he was found dead. Wiay
claimed lint Houston had not been killed
by the cars , but that he had been-killed by
a coupling pn ! In the hands of one James
Dlgnell and his body placed on the trarks In
order that nil traces of the crime might be
removed by mutilation , This theory was
advanced after the discovery of Houston's
body , but It never received credence.
SHOT TO KILL HIS ENEMY.
George Bradecn , the well known West
Lincoln character , hat been on trial before
Justice McCandlcss all day on the charge
of shooting one John Hagerty with Intent
to kill. The shooting took place * Saturday
night. Hagerty holds the appointment of
town marshal from the old Board of Village
Trustees. Considerable strife has resulted
from the relations of the old and the new
village trustees and Hagerty's authority is
disputed. Bradcen runs 'a , questionable re
sort In the village and rans It about as he
pleases. Saturday night Hagerty came to
his .place and told hlih1 he' would have to
shut up the house. Drade'en resented any
official Interference , .anil whrm words en
sued , during which Bradeen drew n revolver
and flre.d three shots at Hagerty , none of
them taking effect. At the trial Brndeen
claimed that Hagerty mde a motion as If he
Intended to draw a gun , This Is denied.

Kuormoui Water Wlibel 'Kr ctcil on the
I.oup to Overcome the Drouth ,
ST. PAUL , Neb. . . June 4 , ( Special to The
Bee. ) The long prevailing ( drouth has again
brought the. question r tof.j- Irrigation into
prominence here. but how to solve the ques
tion Is what puzzles the farmers. Mr. SI.
Anderson , a wholesale grower o'l this town ,
who owns about 2CO acres of fine land n mile
from here on the North Loup river , has
lately suggested a plan that seems to be a
success. He has had erected a large re
volving wheel about thirty feet in diameter ,
something like the Ferris wheel , only that in
place of passenger cars' it Is supplied with
largo tin buckets. The force of the river
current revolves the wheel , the buckets fill
up and on , the wheel going Its round each
bucket on reaching the top empties Its con
tents of water into a sluice , which then ,
through a ditch , leads the water Into n large
basin , and from there it Is distributed
through small ditches over Mr. Anderson's
farm. As a trial he Is now Irrigating fifteen
acres , but Is able through the same process
to Irrigate fifty acres of the finest land to be
found. Mr. Anderson.pys the expense of
the wheel , erecting sluices , ditches and
