fThiire MB now developments la the matter
, fct Jury bribing which has lately agitated
the bar association of Lincoln. The follow-
ing affidavit baa been made by a reputable
CUIzen end a member of the Jury panel at

a , and la a machinist by occupation.
A Ulan t says that ho was ono of the jurors
ttwit aat on the trial of the above entitled
action at the May term , 1891 ; that on the
Drat night after the Jury were empaneled In
6ald case , ono II. H. Blodgett , an attorney of
the city of Lincoln , came to a [ Hani's room
and bcfian to talk Indirectly about the above
entitled case ; after talking around about for
some little time he said to affiant that there
was $100 for a Juror that would find for the
defendant In said case , or would hang the
Jury. AlHant says that he Immediately
stopped Mr. Dlodgctt and told him that he
svas mistaken In his man : that he , affiant ,
was not to be bribed ; that he had , taken an
olh to try said cause according to the evl-
Uince and the law as given by the court , and
that If Mr , Dlodgett aald anything more
about money ho would Immediately report

caster county , Nebraska , sitting at a table
talking together ; there was Deer on the table ,
hut aUlaiiL did not see them drinking , nor
does ho know who paid for the beer. He
did not hear anything that was said between
them. CHAULES II. BOYD. "
This affidavit has not been filed In court
yet. but permission to USD It has been
given by Mr. Iloyd. It Is now among the
papers of an attorney In the city. Mr. Boyd
nho states that after they had goneto the
Jury room their ballots were taken on the
question whether Mr. Houston should have
n verdict. The ballot was secret and each
time It stood eleven for the plaintiff and ona
for the defendant On motion of Iloyd the
next vote was a standing one and n Juror
named Itrown was discovered to be the ob-
Btreperaus man. Iloyd says that ho told
Brown that ho had once seen him drinking
with IllodRctt. upon which Urown voted for
the plaintiff who secured a verdict of $5.000.
Mr. Iloyd stales that the matter was men
tioned to Judge Strode by him before or after
the trial wns concluded , her docs not remem
ber which. The case was one In which Mary
Houston sued Tom Carr for $500 for
furnishing lltntor to her husband , Indirectly
causing his death.
Frank lUwllngs , lately held In the district
rxiurt In bonds of J500 for an alleged attempt
to brlbo a Juryman , la again In court asking
for a new trial of the case In which Lena
Irfuvltt secured a Judgment of $500 against
him. Hawllngs alleges misconduct on the
part of the Jury In that one * Roy L. Stewart
arose In Ida scat at the opening of court
last Wednesday and related the clrcum-
ztancea of the alleged attempt to bribe him.
The motion will be heard , next Monday ,
Copy for the biennial report of the commls-
Ioner of labor nnd Industrial statistics will
All be In the hands of the printer within two
weeks. In this report Mr. Erlon , the com
missioner. devotes a largo portion to the
question of Irrigation In Nebraska. From
thorough investigation and measurements
Ko deduces facts to prove that Irrigation In
thla auto l& practical provided efforts will
lie put forth to store water In reservoirs In
the flood season. East of the point -where
the Loup river Joins the Platte such reser
voirs are unnecessary. Uut in the territory
west of that point there Is every season
plenty of water at certain periods which
can bo held for service during dry seasons.
Thcso periods do not last longer than 100
days and the Platte never runs dry In thosa
jicanona until the drouth Is well advanced.
The report will show that artesian welts are
not available , except by the use of. costly
pumping machinery.
An Interesting feature of the report Is
found In the Information that what has been
known -as the I'latto Valley , Is , In reality , n
ridge sloping each way from the bed of the |
river north and south. Recent measurements
of elevations prove this conclusively. The
report will strongly recommend the reservoir
ctyitcm of Irrigation by storing water from
the Platte at Us flood , and turning tt Into the ,
valleys on each side of the river. It Is likely
that' the report of Commissioner Erlon will
con tain an exhausted review of the beet sugar
industry of Nebraska.
Rov. L. P. Luddcn , who , under the gov

Proud In the fssuo of Denver &
Ualf Ilotidi ,
DENVKR , Oct. 31. Ex-Govornor Evans
who was president of the Union Pacific , Denver -
vor and Gulf railway when It was segregated
from the Union Pacific system and a separata
receiver appointed for It , sprang a sensation
when the hearing began In the United States
district court this afternoon In the fore
closure proceedings of the American Loan
and Trust company of Massachusetts against
the Gulf road by filing a counter petition In
which ho alleges that the bonds held by the
Trust company nre fraudulent. Attorney
Hyde , representing the Trust company , asked
that Frank Trumbull. the present receiver ,
and 12. Ellery Anderson be named as receiv
ers under the foreclosure proceedings. Mr.
Hyde said the Gulf bonds outstanding and
the Interest unpaid amounted to $16,800,000.
Among those doslrlng the appointment of
receiver wcro Morgan Jones nnd General
Dodge , representing 113,000,000. Ex-Governor
Kvans * petition alleges that the Union Pacific
management Issued bonds on the
Oulf for twice the amount agreed
upon heforo the consolidation and
that 11,000,000 of the bonded In
debtedness Is based merely upon the right
of way over the Denver nnd Rio Grande
railroad between Trinidad and i'ueblo secured
to the Oulf road by lease.
Ex-Governor Evans declares that while the
stockholders of the Gulf railway agreed be
fore the consolidation to nn Issue of J25.000 In ,
bonds on each mile of single track and
$35,000 on each mile of double track , the
Union Pacific management actually Issued
bonds for double that amount.
The Union Pacific is accused of Issuing
bonds under the consolidation for the con
struction , of a railway which the Union
Pacific owned before the consolidation In
Now Mexico. U Is also alleged that $2,617,000
In bonds was put forth by the Union Pacific
officials in exchange for $1,254,000 of the
bonds of the Northern railway , $529,000 wcro
exchanged for $226,000 of the bonds of the
Denver , Marshal & Boulder railway , $1,307-
000 for f937,000 of the bonds of the Greeley
Salt Lake & Pacific railway , $177,000 for
$127,000 of the bonds of the Georgetown and
Drecklnridgo railway , all of which passed
Into the treasury of the Union Pacific railway
company. The petition states that these
bonds were of but little value and a fictitious
value was given In violation of the laws of
the state. The petition relates that the
Union Pacific by the deal was enabled to
construct its Oregon short line.
Drexcl , Morgan & Co. como In for a
share of the blame. The complaint alleges
that the- Union Pacific management caused
the property of the Gulf absorbed by the con
solidation to be destroyed and dispersed ,
Alienated and sold without sufficient consider
ation to the Gulf corporations. The shops
were dismantled and the machinery removed ,
and shops were erected In other places ,
where the title was vested In Union Pacific
officials , In defiance of law and formal agree
ments. The principal olllces and books arc
removed from Colorado , and the principal
offices of the consolidation kept In Hoston In
conflict with the agreement between the
corporations consolidating All this was
done , It Is charged , tn pusuanco of a con
spiracy to destroy the Gulf road as a com
petitor of the Union Pacific for Atlantic coast
trade.
Union Pacific officials are accused of con
niving with the trust company for the fore
closure. In the matter of furnishing Im
proved security to the government for the
Union Pacific the petition says the Gulf Is
In no way Indebted to the government and
should not submit to having Its Interests
Late this afternoon the court decided that
the bondholders were entitled to representa-
tloti. but did not believe in a multiplicity of
receivers ; that Mr. Trumbull and Mr. E.
Ellery Anderson had been nominated , but
Mr. Anderson In New York could not manage
a railroad tn Colorado. Consequently he
appointed Mr. Trumbull and denied the ap
pointment of Mr. Anderson. This decision Is
said J to bo satisfactory to the friends of
Governor Evans.

BUFFALO , Oct. 31. It Is claimed that
John S. Johnson yesterday brought the blcy-
clo record for the mile , unpaced , down under
2 minutes. Ho made the mlle In 1:57 : 4-5.
This ploughs a regular furrow In the 2:07 : 1-8 ,
which Singer set for the mark , and which
Johnson has beaten by1 * nearly ten seconds.
The weather was very threatening , nnd the
rain began to fall just as the quad came out
to pace Johnson for the mile. Johnson rode
a seventy-Inch geared wheel. The electric
timing apparatus worked to perfection , and
the ( little wind came up In alight puffs that
were neither a help nor a hindrance to good
riding. The time at the quarter was not
caught , but at the half the wheel passed
over the line In 0:55 : 3-5 seconds , and the
third quarter was done In l:2fi : % . Johnson
finished In splendid shape and rode on for
a short distance before he went back to the
start for a try behind the quad. Through
some misunderstanding they slowed after
pacing the quarter mark In 23 seconds , and
about t that time the rain began to fall and
the wires were taken down. The now record
of 553-5 seconds for the half unpaced also
la a record breaker , and goes ahead of Ty
ler's 57 1-5 at Waltham.
Johnson Is the first man tn the world to
break the trotting , pacing ; ami running horse
repords , the first man In the world to do the
mile with flying start and with standing start
In leas than two minutes. No man ever die
a mile In less than 1:50 : until Johnson die
the trick , but ho can also claim that he first
did life rnllo under 1-10 , and now he Is the
only man who has done the mile unpacec
in less than two minutes.
