Commissioner Williams will Introduce a
resolution at the mooting ot the Hoard of
County Commissioners to bo held today ,
providing for a meeting between the btard
nnd the twenty-five road supervisors of
Douglas county , to be held ttt the court
liouto early In February. The purpose of this
meeting will bo along the line of retrench
ment , It being the Intention of the commis
sioners to fully explain the condition of the
road fund , A plan will bo discussed for con
centrating Improvements on a few of the
main roads of the county , where some heavy
cuts and fills arc required to place these
roads In better condition for traffic , and al
lowing the less Important roads to get along
with as llttlo Improvement as will bo con
sistent with the policy of the commissioners
to keep the roads of this , county In god con
dition.
Under the statutes of Nebraska the road
supervisor Is supreme In his district. He
nlno decides when and whcro work shall be
done , and how much shall be expended. The
commissioners , however , have taken the bull
by the horns and have refused to allow bills
In excess of on agreed amount. In 1892 ,
operating under the old plan , the road super
visors of Douglao county expended about
$24,000. In 1893 the commissioners Inaugu
rated a system of restriction and the super
visors expended only about $12,000. This was
not done without great opposition on the
part of the supervisors , who relisted what
they regarded as an Invasion of their vested
rights. In 1894 a resolution was pawed early
In the year , limiting each supervisor to $175 ,
and the amount actually expended during
that year reached about $4BOO. Last year
the amount , was still further reduced , and
the supervisors averaged less than $150 each.
These supervisors are entitled to $3 per day ,
each , for the > time actually employed on tlio
roads. Under the system adopted by the
commissioners , they may employ men and
teams up to the amount set aside for their
respective districts. All work , done on the
county roads Is under their supervision. The
work Is almost entirely done by the voters
In payment of their poll tax. The county
iisy-ssors are required by law to levy a poll
tax of $3 on each man In the county between
the ages of 21 and CO years.
Some of the taxpayers prefer to pay their
poll tax In money , but the large majority
work It out on the roads. They are allowed
$3 per day for themselves and team , or $1.EO
for a day's work without a team.
"During the past four years the roads In
Douglas county have been Improved Until
they are In better condition tliah any oth'er
rords In the elate , " remarked Commissioner
Ster.berg. "There arc COO miles of roads In
the county and one-half of these roads , or
about 300 miles , have bee'n " 'piked. ' " As this
term Is used In this section , It means
throwing up the dirt from ditches at the
sldo until the crown of the road Is well
rounded , tnus shedding the 'voter readily
and causing the ditches at tno side to act
as drains. No stone or gravel Is used , but
the road Is kept In good condition , by the
supervisors after It Is one ? made. "
The purpose of the commissioners Is to
limit the supervisors to only such work ao
Is absolutely necessary In keeping these
roads In shape nnd using all the money
that Is to be- expended for road purposes
In reducing the- grade on those roads where
truvel Is the heaviest.
Ij ? 1'EGACY OF TIIE DORMER COUNCIL.
IT Street * Ordered Grnded lint the Work
'
'
- Will Not He Done.
One of the legacies of the old council Is
laid away In a pigeonhole In the desk of
Chairman Munro ot'the Board of Public
Works. According to Mr. Munro's opinion
it will stay there for same time to come. It
Is an ordinance which was Introduced by
Councilman Kment and passed during the
last days of the old council. The members
now assert that they did not know what the
ordinance was. If they had , they say they
wauid not have voted for it , but It is a law
just thedame. .
The ordinance briefly provides for the
grading of a number of small pieces of
streets In Griffin & Smith's addition , one-half
ot the cost to be paid by the city out of the
1896 road fund. Tha grading Includes
Thirty-third street , from Poppleton to Wool-
vrorth avenue ; Thirty-fifth street , from Pop
pleton avcnuo to Hickory street ; Thirty-
fifth avenue , from Poppleton to Woolworth ,
and Woolworth avenue from a point 100 feet
west of Thirty-second avenue to Thirty-
fourth street. It Involves 32,102 yards of
excavation and 10,395 .yards ot embankment.
The dirt that Is to bo removed would have to
1)0 hauled some distance , and It Is esti
mated that the entire cost of the Improve
ment would reach nearly $4,000.
Chairman Munro said yesterday that ho
bad refused to let the contract for this work
and should not do so unless it was In obe
dience to mandamus proceedings. He said
that the law declared that the Board of
Public Works could not let a contract until
the comptroller had certified that there was
money In the fund to pay for the share of
.the city. The comptroller'could not regard
money that wan expected to be available
Bomo time next fall as money now available ,
and consequently ho should not take any
action on the ordinance.

Jnilfrc A Kill it Tel In the Lawyer * They
Miint Hurry.
Today la the last day of tlio local term
of the United States court , and lawyers who
have endeavored to profit by dilatory tactics
arc evidently going to get lett. Heretofore
It has been the common practice to put off
tlio final settlement of cases , on one pretext
or another , until the last day , with the hope
that theruth In closing the books tor the
term would bo such could Induce the
court to hold over matters , which , by a
llttla energy and promptitude on the part
of attorneys , could have been cleaned up and
disposed of necks before. But Judge Dunily
has determined on a new method , and from
thin on It must be n valid reason that will
Induce htm to transfer Important matters
from one term to another.
Yesterday Urn attorneys for C. M. Humcs-
ton , convicted tome wcehs ago nf sellIng -
Ing beer at wholesale , came Into court , all
cocked and primed for a lengthy argument
In the Interests of a new trial for the de
fendant , but they reckoned without their
host.
host.HumeUon
HumeUon , It will bo remembered , was the
Adam's express agent at Hastings. The com.
pany held a license from thn city of Lin
coln for the sale of beer , lull Humcston
stretched this Into Including Hastings and
encompassing territory. So he canvassed the
list of dealers , took their orders
and sold them beer at wholesale
and under the protective rights of the com
pany's Lincoln license. The 'Jury concluded
this was going a little ten far and found him
guilty , but Ills attorneys differed with the
Jury , and filed a motion'for a now trial. It
was to have been argued the first of this
week , but wa put off until Thursday. In
stead ' cf appearing In court at the designated
hour , the attorneys tent word thot they
would not bo ready to argue the case until
Saturday morning , when they would bo en
hand. Judge Dundy , however , was weary of
the delay , eft ho sent back word for them to
appear yesterday , or they wouldn't get a
hearing. They were en hand , rully prepared
for the program they had arranged for
today. Cut It was not to be ; the court
Insisted on speedy and succinct statements ,
and the result was the motion was denied
and HumcMon was mulcted In the sum of
$50 and costs , which means a nice little piece
of money when once the et ceteras arc all
figured up. An exception was taken to the
Judgment and thirty days granted for prep
aration.
In the case of Ebsnczcr McDonald , the
man wanted for perjury In a rear estate
deal down In Oklahoma , extradition papers
were granted and the United States marshal
started gultward with the prisoner In the
afternoon.
There Is also another Journey mapped out
for today , when , under the chaperonage
of Deputy United States Marshal Thresher ,
L. M. Blore. the embezzling railway clerk ,
and Fran ! : Barrett aud Mike Tlerr.ey , the
counterfeiters , will start for Sioux Falls ,
where Blore and Tlerney will enter upon
their fourteen months' contract with the gov-
prnment. and Barrett for two years.
In Juclge Shlras' court there Is an Inter
esting trial In progress. It Is that of Lester
Calkins of South Omaha against the Swift
Packing company. It seems that Calkins
was employed by this company to assist In
cutting and packing Ice last winter , down In
Ashland. Ho was thus engaged one after
noon , when a ton or so of the crystal fell
from one of the runways by reason 'of the
negligence of the Swifts , so the plaintiff
avers , and catching Mr. Calkins In the back
and loins , all but extinguished the vital
spark1. As It was , he sustained Injuries that
have kept him out of a Job ever since , and
are llablo to for some time to come. In con
sequence of these damages , he asks- and
prays for the modest llttlo sum of $10,000
and the costs.
HKtiAY DISGUSTED JUIIGE IIAXTEH.
niiticaii-Ijemly Content Put Over Until
Next AVeek.
In the Duncan-Lemly election contest yester
day morning Judge Baxter became disgusted
at the dilatory tactics pursued by the con
testant In not producing his witnesses and
sirrmarlly adjourned the hearing until next
Tuesday , at 10 a. m. Witnesses were sum-
moi.ed to Identify the ballot boxes In the
several districts , but when they were ex
amined they did not prove to bo the persons
who had delivered the boxes to the city
-clerk. Thr-y could not Identify the boxes as
being the ones which had been delivered.
At the time of the adjournment , fifteen
districts out of the seventy-six In the city
had been counted and the total result showed
that Lemley had gained one over Duncan ,
making his majority eighteen , Instead of
seventeen.
If the case Is continued , along the lines
laid down , there will have" to ho about 100
wltressos summoned. The witness fes In
the county court Is $1 and the service of
summons Is fixed at about 85 cents. This will
make the expense amount to nearly $200 ,
which will have to be paid by the party
losing the contest.
THEY OII.IECT TO THE DEAD ROOM.
To 11II11 tx of n lllock Seoiirq nn In
junction AKiiliiMt the Coroner.
Judge Keysor Issued an order yesterday aft
ernoon restraining Coroner Burkct from main
taining a morgue In the building at 1C1S
Chicago street and from holding Inquests
therein. The Injunction was granted on a
petition filed by the owner of tlio building ,
Colonel R. C. Clowry , In which It was al
leged that the maintaining of a morgue
would destroy the value of the property for
renting purposes for a large number of
rcaiona which were set forth In detail.
Among other things It Is alleged that the
noise made by receiving the bodies of per
sona who had died by reason of acts of vi
olence , said bodies being mostly received In
the night time , would , break the rest of the
tenants In the block. The morbidly curious
crowd which would be attracted by Inquests
on tlio bodlea of victims cf acts of violence
was urged as another reason why an In
junction should bo granted. It wag al
leged that the mere fact that the morgue
contained the mutilated bodlea of such vic
tims would have a bad Influence upn the
entire neighborhood.

SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Jan. 17. ( Special
Telegram , ) Wilmot , Roberts C3unty , Is stlrrad
np- over the night of George M. Clark
and the discovery ot some heavy forgeries
ot county warrants , believed to have been
stolen and manipulated by him.
Clark was the agent of J. W. Drown &
Co. , the big Investment brokers and loan
agents of New York , and has always berne
a high reputation , making large loans In
the county and handling many se
curities. Ho recently disappeared. At
about the same time there were
presented to the county treasurer for
payment four warrants aggregating In
amount $3,300. These warrants bore ev
idence of genuineness on their face , had on
their backs the stamped notice that they
had been presented at the treasurer's office ,
but not paid for lack of funds , and also
bore the seal of the county , and wcro signed
by M. J. Ireland , county auditor , and J. C.
Hilt , chairman of. the county board.
Itws found tliat tlio numbers , however ,
were much higher than any notes Issued and
this led to an Investigation. It was dis
covered that flvo blank warrants , constituting
ono page of the warrant book , had been ab
stracted some time before and that those-
were four of the five. The" numbers had all
been raised and the amounts filled In. The
seal was a clew Imitation of the county seal
and the rubber stamp endorsement on the
back was a copy of that used by the treasurer.
Suspicion pointed to Clark , since the warrants
v.eio made payable to his firm In New York
and were presented for payment "by It. It
was also found that before leaving he had
cashed at the bank drafts for $600 and $800.
and that he had given a bill of sale for all
of his property to a woman in Minneapolis.
The bank , however , placed an attachment on
his property before the bill of sale was re
corded.
The other warrant has not turned up yet ,
but was undoubtedly cashed. Several blank
county bonds are also missing , and It Is
sutmlsed that Clark abstracted these at the
rame time.
MANY PLANS FOR SAVING MONEY.
ProiiOHltloMM for the Coiixolldntlon of
the City OllleeH.
There Is a good deal of uncertainty among
the appointive officials In the city hall In
view of the problematical action of the ad
ministration relative to the consolidation of
offices In pursuance of the much advertised
economic policy. There Is no doubt expressed
that at least one or two of the offices
will bo done away with , yet no definite un
derstanding has been reached ao to where
the , axwill strike. So far the plany In this
direction are In a chaotic state , as each
councilman has his own idea of how the re
forms t-liould -accomplished. . It Is ex
pected that a definite announcement of what
will be done will not be made until after
the special committee of business men and
cquncjlmen which was appointed a week ago
haj been heard from.
The're Is only one office which seems fairly
sure to be dispensed with. Abolition ot the
boiler Inspector figures in nearly every
plan of reorganization that has baen
suggested , and the Job will prob
ably . ba consolidated with one of
the other offices. One plan that IB succested
Is to place the boiler Inspection In charge
ot the gas Inspector. This plan proceeds to
glvo the city electrician charge of the fire
and police alarm system In addition to his
present duties and concludes by turning over
the plumbing Inspection to the Board of
Public Works.
Some of the councllmen favor a somewhat
moro radical plan. They propose to abolish
both the building and the gas Inspectorship.
As the office of building Inspector Is created
by charter , they will avoid Interference with
the charter provision by making the city
electrician building Inspector , with
full charga of the building and
electrical departments and the gas
Inspection. He will have a clerk' to"
attend to the routine of his work and by
this means It Is believed that he will b able
to perform the duties which are now divided
among three men. This scheme Is supported
by members who Incline to the opinion that
the boiler Inspector Is a necessary adjunct of
the city government and could not bo 'safely
dispensed with.
Which of the various schemes that have
been suggested will be favored by Mayor
Bratch Is the conundrum to which the In
terested office holders are endeavoring to ob
tain an answer. So far , however , the mayor
has refused t commit himself'beyond the
statement contained In his Inaugural , which
was to tlio effect that he proposed to lop off
all cxpenDSB where the Interests of the city
wculd not bo endangered. He eays that ho
has not had an opportunity to thoroughly
consider the subject yet , and In the mean
time the holdover appointees are continuing
to draw their salaries.

HXPKIUMI2NTS WITH rtAKFIH COHN.
South Hnkoln Fn rin em Think It Rood
' Feed. "
CHAMBEIlLAlN.'S. D. , Jm W.MSpeclal. )
Ono of the Important- topics ot discussion
by the farmers.of South Dakota Is the much-
lauded Kaffir corn , and the question of Its
adaptability to this climate. Last year and
prior a few farmers in the state procured
small quantities of seed and experimented
with It , and the- results of these experiments ,
as drawn out by Jho present discussion , arc
Interesting. T. B. Strong , ft farmer and
ranchman on White river , wqst ot this city ,
had a field of corn which yleldcjl fully
up to expectations. Ho declares that
It Is the very best kind of
feed for any kind of stock. P. * J.
Gerln , a Chamberlain business man , experi
mented last season with a email field , each of
ordinary , Indian corn and Kaffir corn. The
ordinary corn was Irrigated several times ,
while the Kaffir corn recelycd only the
natural rainfall , which was , , much below
normal. Still the Kaffir oorrt grow fully as
well as the other , was grefln and healthy
looking during the very driest periods of
the summer , proving , In this Instance at
least , that It can withstand drouth to the
degree claimed for It. ,
In referring to a newspaper statemuit
warning farmers to go t4ow In going Into
the culture of Kaffir corn , F , D. Hycr , a
prominent farmer of Hanson county , says
that three years ago he risked a dime In
seed. This year he has ten bushels of seed ,
and next spring will put liunll ha can culti
vate. He declares that ho , finds nothing
that excels It for feed and nothing that
stands the dry , hot winds , and always keeps
growing like U. His exccrlcnco shows
that the corn should be put In the ground
as early as other corn , and the moro It Is
cultivated the better ; 'that It can
bo cut throe times for feed In
early summer. Several .ranchmen near
Uapd ! City propose giving : It a trials the
coming season. They argue | hat It ( Ho corn
makes good focd for hogs It vould bo worth
raising , as there are many small farms and
ranches In that section onv.mch . a few hogs
might bo kept , wlth little trouble and much
profit , If a crop of something for feed was
sure of being raised. While there seems
to be a good. dealt to be said In favor of the
new corn , there are ; of course , two sides to
the question. Some experiments last season
are said not to have produced very favorable
results. However , the experiments with the
corn the coming season will' ' be conduclcd
with more care than fornaor experiments
and are expected to demonstrate to a cer
tainty whether or not the corn is suited to
this climate.

top of which there Is an Iron ratling. The
car cleaners had met at Mott Haven station
of the road and were on their way to the car
yards at One Hundred and Sixtieth street ,
and Vanderbllt avenue. Yender , Tracey and
Druff were employed by the New York
Central , the Mahan woman by the Wagner
Palace Car company and the Becker woman
by the New York , New Haven & Hartford
road. They had reached Ono Hundred and
Forty-second street when the Chatham ex
press on the New York. New Haven & Hart
ford came thundering down and the cleaners
stepped asldo to let It pass. The train was
a long one and Its noise drowned all other
noises , so that a light engine coming upthe
northbound track was unobserved. Just as
the express passed , the engine struck them.
A chorus of horrible shrieks was the first
intimation the engineer had of the calamity.
The Becker and Mahan women were ground
under the wheels of the engine and the
others were thrown against the wall.

HEATH AVATCIIES AT COUNTY JAIL.
Four Men Arc Staying with Mortran
mill Hoover. .
When the new judges of the district court
assumed the judicial ermine , Judge Scott ,
who became a judge ot the equity court on
that day , Issued an order to the sheriff , di
recting him to place a death watch on duty
night and day to watch George Morgan , and
another death watch , to keep tab , night and
day , on Claude Hoover. Actlnc In accord
ance with this order , Sheriff McDonald
placed Joseph Hummel and Fred Hoyo on
duty In the room occupied by Morgan's cell ,
and John Croft and Fred Larson to perform
a similar duty for Hoover. One man Is on
duty In each room during the day , and the
others servo during the night. When the
county commissioners learned that this had
been done , there wcro strong Indications of
a storm brewing , and two of the commis
sioners expressed themselves very strongly
as being In favor of not allowing pay foi-
these men. The action of the late criminal
judge Is regarded by habitues of the court
house as something of an Innovation , There
have been death watches established in some
caws , but It has been the- exception , rather
than the rule. Several cases are cltoJ where-
no watch was established , The Barney
McGinn case Is cited as a parallel. lie was
sentenced to bo hung , but Immediately ap
pealed the OJSB to the supreme court , as
Morgan and Hoover Intend doing. Tran
scripts have been made In both cases , and
an appeal will oa taKtn. wo aeain waicn
was established over McGinn. '
Judge Baker was asked whether he In
tended canceling the.order ot'Judgo Scott ,
seme of the commlsloncrs having asked him
to do so. Ho replied that the request placed
lilm In a rather embarrassing position. IK-
liad not decided what ho would do , but sold
lie had no doubt but that the CIMKS would
scon roach the supreme court and an order
l > e made by that court suspending the sen
tence , In which case he should recall the
order , as ho did not think It was really
necessary.
In reply to a question as to the authority
of an equity judge over criminal matters ,
Judge Baker declined to express himself.

point to the election of D. B. lloblnsxm , first
vice president of the Atclilson , .Topeka &
Santa Fe , to the position of president of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railway company. A pri
vate circular , Issued by a news bureau to Its
subscribers , says : "Wo understand that the
Baltimore & Ohio management Is consider
ing the desirability of offering the presi
dency of the company to D. B. Robinson ,
first vice president of the Atchlson company.
The preference hat < been expressed for Mr.
Robinson , because of his ability as an oper
ating manager , which is what the company
particularly requires. The financial man

FrelKht Trnllle oil ( it-ami Trunk.
Fred S. Capron , traveling passenger agent
oi' the Chicago & Grand Trunk road , who Is
In the city , was yesterday asked the con
dition of trade with his road. He replied
that although the pawanger traffic was ex
tremely light , the freight traffic showed some
Improvement over that of the corresponding
period of last year. For the week ending
January 4 , the shipment out of Chicago
amounted to 114,000 tons , while for the" same
week one year ng ? , the amount of freight
handled was IBM than 100,000 tons. Mr.
Capron said that there was but llttlo grain
moving , ulthsuch recently considerable nuan-
tltles of hay and oats have been shipped
fiom Iowa to Connecticut. The amount of
coal that hao been carried so far this season
io unusually small , due probably to the
mild winter and the high prices that have
prevailed.
See hut I.lttle I.l lit Aheiul.
The prevailing complaint among freight of
ficials lstiat _ ! hard times and low prices
form a barrier to the moving of freight in
any considerable quantities. Scarcely any
grain Is being moved , coal Is nlmcst at a
standstill , and the jobbers are said to be
doing a hand-to-mouth business , which means
that there Is little traffic to bo expected
fiom them. Just \\hat will follow this
ptrlod of depression Is hard to tell , but there
arc a few frelghtmen who are sufficiently
optimistic pg-to"predict a bettc ? corTaiiruri

CHICAGO , Jan. 17. News of the selection
of Chicago as the place to hold the national
democratic convention was received locally
with no manifestations of excitement ,
The hotel men smiled when the news
came , they being the chief beneficiaries of
the crowd that the convention will bring to
town. Strangely enough , however , there was
no Hood of telegrams asking that quarters
be reserved for the national leaders ot the
democratic party. Itcqucsts for rooms from
metropolitan newspapers In different sec
tions or the country , made through resident
correspondents , were about all received by
any of the hotels last night. At the Palmer
house requests were received by telegraph
for rooms for the Maine and Oregon delega
tions , the number desired being fourteen
and eight respectively.
The Chicago Chronicle ( democratic ) , In Its
local columns today , said : There was omo
disappointment among local democrats nt the
action of the democratic national committee
In fixing the date for July 7. In view of
the fact that the republican convention will
bo hold June 6 , It w-as felt that the demo
cratic convention should have followed es
tablished precedent and called Its convention
In advance of the republican gathering.
HELPS A WKSTEUN MAN.
The democratic leaders In this city bcllcvo
that the holding of the convention here will
have a stlmulatlng'effect on the local politi
cal situation. Some of the managers said
last night the location of the convention In
Chicago would have the effect of help'ng the
candidacy of Colonel W. H. Morrison for
this presidential nomination. Others Boomed
to think It would bring Vice President Stev
enson to the front as a presidential quantity.
Ex-Mayor Hopkins , In speaking of the late
ness of the date of the convention , said : "I
regret that the national committee decided to-
hold the convention so late as July 7. Tho.
democratic party is in control of the na
tional administration , and It 1ms always been
the rule of the party In power to hold Its
convention first. It looks like cowardice on
the part cf the democrats for them to hold ,
their convention this year after the re
publicans. However , that Is a matter for
which the national committee alone Is ro-
spons'ble , I am gratified to know that we
will have the convention In this cty ! , and the
local democrats will do all they can to mnko
things agreeable for the thousands of vls-
Itcra who will be here next July. I think
It will be a very Interest'ng convention , and
I have no doubt the delegates will bo nblo
to agree upon a ticket and a platform that
will sweep the country. I think It will bs a
big convention , and one of the most Interest
ing In the h'story of the party. "
HUNTING A HALL.
Tiio convention will doubtless bo held at
the Coliseum , but that la a matter which Is
to be determined by the national democratic
.comnx'tlej. . The democrats who went to-
Washington took with them plans of both
the Coliseum" and * Tatter-sail's--Either 'of
these buildings will be available , but It la
thought the national committee- will select
the Coliseum on account of Its superior nr-
rangcmcnts , and because of Its larger BeatIng -
Ing capacity.
Comptroller of Currency James H. Eckels
of Illinois did not think the place of holding :
the convention would have anything to do ,
ono way or another , with the convention's
nominee , whether It was an eastern or west
ern man. When asked what effect he thought
It would have on Cleveland's alleged third
term candidacy , ho said : "I do not wish to
talk on that , for I don't think there Is any
thing at all In It. I don't believe he's a.
candidate for re-election. "
"What effect do you think It will have on.
bringing out a western man ? "
"None at all ; any more than If the con
vention were held In New York , or any other
eastern city. "
The hotel keepers do not seem to llko the.
agreement made by the citizens' commlttco
at Washington yesterday to the effect that
no Chicago hotql will book any delegation
for the convention within thirty days , or be
fore the national commlttco engages Its ,
quarters , and do not consider it binding on ,
them.
"Wo were not asked to give , nor did wo
glvo , any such promise , " Bald a prominent
hotel manager today. "There are not above
flvo hotels In Chicago which are liable to
bo selected by the national committee. Every
other hotel In the city , knowing that there
Is no probability of being so selected , will
book every offer time Is made. Delegations
and Individuals who may address communica
tions to the few hotels within the limits of
the national committee , and who , if Informed
that they must watt until after the national
committee makes Its selection , will make ap
plication to Bomo other house. No hotel can
afford to run chances. "
"The national commlttco IB one body that
knows what it needs , " he continued. "It Is
in a condition to engage Its rooms Immedi
ately. It ought to send some ono to Chicago
cage at once. It will have to do so or
scramble with the rest. "
