LINCOLN , May 29. ( Special ) -U seems
the governor has made another mistake In
his appointments on the fitato Brand com
mission and has stirred up trouble In northwest -
west Nebraska. The following from the
Crawford Bulletin , a populist paper , re
garding the appointment of W. C. Caven
shows up some of the peculiar political
characteristics of that part of the state :
The news of his appointment to a posi
tion by a populist governor will fall like a
vet blanket on the majority of populists
of this territory , who consider him , In a
political sense , as fun of tricks as a dog
Is of licas. Ho is not backward or sneaking
nbout his operations , and Is aware that
there arc a largo number who , though out-
Bide of politics , place full confidence In him ,
would not trust him In political operations
nny further than they could throw a male
critter of the bovine ppccles by the caudal
appendage , in evidence or which ho stated
that ho failed to vote at the lust general
election because the "ctuseE wouM aceuso
him of voting ho rur > uKlcin ticket" He
professes to ho n ( tumor-rat , hut pfayfully
votes In a populist primary , allows himself
to bo elected a delegate to populist county
nnd state conventions , nnd then carries him
self during the campaign In such a manner
na to create the suspicion that he Is the
distributor of republican "boodle , " oven to
the extent of being accused of causing re
publican whisky to bo sent to a strong
populist precinct In order to Influence votes
In favor of the republican legislative ticket.
The appointment may have been made on
the ground that ho Is a political hoiso that
requires "hitching , " but ns near as we can
learn , ho Is considered , especially among
populists , "a tricky political broncho , " nnd
liable to make a "break" nt any tlmo In
any dlicctlon , no matter how ho is
"hitched. "
Copiei of the Bulletin containing this
editorial wore circulated about the state
house today nnd caused somewhat of a
sensation in popocratlc circles.
Denlen the Injunction.
The petition IllcU In the district court
liero by the bondsmen of ex-State Trcas-
tircro Bartlcy , asking for nn order restrain
ing Attorney General Smyth , Governor
3'oynter and other officials from prosecut
ing them In Ornaha on Bartley's bond until
after the liability of the Omaha National
liank for $201,000 of the ex-state treaauior'a
Bhortago is determined , was denied this
afternoon by Judge Frost. A motion for
a rehearing before the full bench was Im
mediately filed by the attornejs ' for the
Ibomlsmen. The court finds that the Injunc
tion should ho denied on Judicial grounds ,
The temporary Injunction Is also vacated.
Judge Frost expressed his willingness to
have the case argued again before the full
bench nnd this decision will probably prevent -
vent the prosecution of the bondsmen at
the present term of the district court In
Omaha. The written opinion of the court
In this case Is as follows :
This Is an application for a temporary
injunction Because of the finality of the
court's order , If the application is denied ,
the plaintiffs should be given the benefit of
nil doubt. It may also he said that the
plaintiffs present a bill which appeals
Btrongly to the conscience of the court , a
bill which shows that as between them and
the Omaha National bank , they arc sureties
nnd It Is principal1. Without passing upon
the sufficiency of the cause of action for
equitable relief stated In the bill , it will
bo assumed that Us allegations are ample
for that purpose.
In view of what has already been said ,
the plaintiffs would bo entitled to a tempor-
niy injunction were there no Jurlsdlctlonal
questions in the way. These questions in
volve the relations and obligations of co
ordinate courts , where one of them has ac-
qulicd prior jurisdiction of the parties and
of the subject matter In controversy. To
the mind of the writer , the correct answers
to these questions lead Inevitably to one
consluslon , the denial of the Injunction by
this court.
Brleliy stated , the plaintiffs ask the dis
trict court of Lancaster county to restrain
William A. Poynter and Constantine J ,
Siivth , who , It is alleged , are respectively
governor nnd attorney general of the state
of Nebraska , tholr deputies nnd successors
In office , from prosecuting in the district
court of Douglas county a suit pending
therein in behalf of the state , and against
ex-State Treasurer Baitley and his bohds-
men. The Injunction Is praied for only na
to ono Item In that suit , amounting to
$201,884.03. As to that item , this court la
usked to determine whether It was em
bezzled by Hartley , and If it was , to order
that the Omaha National bank and the
bondsmen on Its depository bond bo com
pelled to pay said amount nnd to fully ex
onerate the plaintiffs from the payment
thereof The sum In question was on de
posit to the credit of the state treasurer in
the Omaha National bank , but was drawn
out by the oheck of the state treasurer to
illegally pay a warrant which had been Is-
micd for the solo purpose of transferring
from the general to the sinking fund the
money lost to the latter by the failure ol
the Capital National bank.
Thn state having brought nn action for
that Item , among others , in the district
court of Douglas county , thlr court cannot

Interfere by Injunction with the partita to
th.tt suit Such Interference mould be both
SRnlnst public policy nnd npnlnst the comity
which It \ onsentlnl should exist between
the co-ordlnn.tr > courts of thin tnnd Let It
be borne In mind that the DouRlns county
district court possesses jittt ns ample powers
to relieve from the Injustice complained of
nn docs this court. If the Injunction naked
can be granted , then there Is logically no
reason why some other court , or Indeed , the
district court of Douglas county , could not
In turn enjoin the plaintiffs from prosecut
ing this action , providing the Jurisdiction
could be obtained over them. Conflicts of
Jurisdiction of this character would neces
sarily result In leaning the respect of the
public for the courts , nor do former ad
judications sanction such procedure. The
law as announced by the better considered
cases , gives to the court first acqulrlnB
Jurisdiction the power to proceed to a final
determination , and Injunctions are ordi
narily granted onfy to protect the Jurisdic
tion of the court which has secured such
priority. Our own supreme court has ac
cepted this view , from the syllabus of the
case of I'rugh against the Portamouth Sav
ings bank , 48 Neb. , 414 , are taken the fol
lowing paragraphs
"Courts , Jurisdiction , Injunction After n
federal court has acquired Jurisdiction of
the parties and subject matter of a contro-
\crsy a state court may not by Injunction
or otherwise Interfere with the exercise of
such Jurisdiction "
"Accordingly , as a general rule , a utatc
court will not enjoin parties to an action
already In progress In a federal court from
further proceeding therein "
"The exceptions to this rule arc based
upon the doctrine that In courts of concur
rent Jurisdiction that which first has ob
tained Jurisdiction of th parties and sub
ject matter retains It for all purposes , nnd
by all necessary process wllf protect Itself
In the exercise of that Jurisdiction. "
It Is true that In that case the dispute
over the Jurisdiction arose between the
state nnd federal courts , While there Is n
sentiment that the state courts cannot In
terfere with matters pending In the federal
court , there are no reasons for the senti
ment except such as apply with equal force
to conflicts between different state courts.
That was a case which appealed moat
strongly to the equitable powers of the
court. It was sought to enjoin the United
States marshal from selling a homestead
and the court concedes In the opinion that
the sale should bo restrained , were It not
that the state courts could not Interfere. It
Is expressly said that the owner of the
homestead must go to the federal court for
his rericf.
Thcro are two chief reasons why , form
erly , It was necessary for courts of chancery
to Interfere by injunction with the litigants ,
In common law courts , to-wlt : The latter
had no equitable powers , nor were there
provisions for bringing In new parties ,
which were frequently necessary In order
to make a complete defense. These reasons ,
however , do not exist in this state. Under
our code all distinction between actions at
law and suits In equity ore abolished. This
permits not only ancillary proceedings be
fore the same court In order to obtain
equitable relief , but also permits the setting
up of nn equitable defense In that very suit.
There are also provisions for the bringing
In of additional1 parties where these are
made necessary by the answer of the defend
ant.
There Is another reason , also Jurlsdlc-
tlonal , why this Injunction should not be
granted. The action runs nominally against
the governor and attorney general individ
ually , but it Is in reality against the state.
The state being sovereign cannot bo sued
except by legislative consent. The adju
dicated cases do not clearly draw the line
of tlomarkatlon between what are suits
agalnBt public officers , Individually , and what
are in reality suits against the state. The
attorney general has cited the case of Fltts
against McGhee , which was decided by the
supreme court of the United States In Janu
ary of the present year. That Is a suit
against the attorney general of Alabama ,
and the court there held that :
"A suit to restrain officers of a state from
taking any steps by means of Judicial pro
ceedings , in execution of a state statute ,
to which they do not hold any special re
lation. Is really a suit against the stale. '
While that case Is perhaps not absolutely
conclusive of the one at bar , etlll it would
seem to Justify the attorney gcneraL's con
tention that the present suit Is against the
state. In answer to this "the plaintiffs say
that as the state has descended from the
piano of Its sovereignty by the institution
of a suit concerning this matter In the dis
trict court of Douglas county. It cannot now
urge its sovereignty to prevent Jurisdiction
but stands exactly as any Individual would.
That rule loses Its force when applied to the
present suit , as It is an entirely independ
ent action. In order to get any benefit
therofiom the plaintiffs must make this pfea
as a defense in a suit already Instituted by
the state In Douglas county.
In view of what has been said , the ap
plication for temporary Injunction must bo
denied and the restraining order heretofore
entered vacated.

BRADY ISLAND.Neb. , May 29. ( Special )
This bit of a town , which claims to bo the
oldest In the state of Nebraska , but which
has been stunted slnco Us birth , Is Just now
worked up over the prospect of becoming n
railroad center All of this Is the result of
the fact that the Burlington has commenced
some railroad construction In this neighbor-
1'ood wtilch Is enveloped In enough of mys
tery to cause n world of speculation. Cer
tainly a new railroad la coming. Surveyors
have been laying out the line for It for eomo
time , nnd within the last couple of weeks
a gang of graders has started upon the route
In two spots This supplies enough founda
tion for our dreams oven If they know only
the beginning point of the new road and
MO at yet In Ignorance of its terminus.
They know that It will leave the main line
of ttio Burlington a few miles from Farnam ,
that It will run through Brady Island , that
It will pass through Dawson nnd Lincoln
counties nnd reach Into Custer. It Is pretty
well established , too , that the extension Is
to run Into Wyoming nnd that 423 miles of
It have already been surveyed , but Its ter
minal point Is as yet unknown. Many people -
plo believe that Ogdcn Is the final objective
point. From Ogden the road cnn easily con
nect with tfec coast , but talk about this Is
all speculation.
People hereabouts are especially Interested
In the extension of the road Into their midst.
Farmers In this section of the country do
not wish to disparage any other part of Ne
braska , but they nre confident that they
own the richest nnd most fertile portion of
the state. With the Burlington In this sec
tion In n position to compete with the Union
Pacific It will redound to their benefit , as
they will bo able to more easily nnd cheaply
ship their products.
The farmers , however , are not In the state
of ccstacy in which the Inhabitants of Brady
Island arc living , for the latter arc looking
Into n bright future. From what they can
learn , their town is booked to bo the dis
tributing division point of this new exten
sion. North Platte , but a few miles away ,
Is a division point of the Union Pacific and
this fact Is held to bo responsible largely foi
Its growth. Btady Island looks forward to
the tlmo when It will possess even greater
Importance than North Platte.
The extension will come Into Brady Island
from the east , it will cross the Platte rlvei
n short distance away. The preliminary sur
veys for the bridge have already been made
and the spot where It la to cross the rlvci
has been selected. A point has been chosen
where there are three Islands. The sup
ports of the bridge will bo located upon
these.
Before the extension Is completed con
struction will bo commenced upon some ex
tensive machine shops In Brady Island. A
big roundhouse Is also to bo located at the
town , and other buildings that are necessary
at an Important division distributing point ,
Those Improvements will naturally bring
people to Brady Island and with the people
will come long-wlshed-for enterprises. Foi
example , the Omaha Elevator company has
given assurance that If things are to bo as
they arc reported they will Immediately
build at Brady Island an elevator with c
capacity of 30,000 bushels.
As has already been stated , a gang of met
Is already nt work grading the roadbed fron :
the point where It leaves the Burlington
main line. Reports have It that the worli
Is to be puehed as rapidly as possible and
It is therefore possible that the extension
will bo almost , If not completely laid within
the year.
