I.ocnl KrclRht nnd Tleket Anent of
the ChlcnRO , .Milwaukee Jb St.
rnul Itnllwnr In the
CltitiiliuN.
A surprise was sprung In local railroad
circles yesterday afternoon when It became
known that John M. Lane , freight nnd
ticket agent of the Chicago , Milwaukee &
St. Paul railway in thla city , had been ar
rested on a charge of embezzlement. The
Information charging Mr. Lane with embez
zlement was fllod In the court of Justice
Fcrrlcr ypsterday morning by F. M. Robert
son , traveling auditor of the railway com
pany. Mr. Lane at once gave bonds
In the sum of $500 for his nppcaranco be
fore Justice Fcrrlcr tomorrow morning.
The arrest of Agent Lane followed the
checking of his accounts by Auditor Rob-
orteon from Chicago , who has been at work
on the books here since Wednesday last ,
but no Intimation had been given that any
thing was wrong or that there was any
shortage In Mr. Lane's accounts.
Inspector Qeddes of the Surety company
arrived from Chicago yesterday morning
and at once , after a brief consultation with
Auditor Robertson , went to Justice Fer-
rler's court , where ho filed an Informa
tion. The arrest of Mr. Lane was carried
out with the greatest secrecy , nnd It was
not until late in the afternoon that It became -
came known that such had transpired.
Mr , Geddes when asked for particulars
declined to talk beyond admitting that the
checking up of Mr. Lane's accounts had
developed what appeared to bo n shortage
of a considerable amount , but ho was hope
ful that things would straighten themselves
out In a few days. Auditor Robertson also
declined to discuss the matter , but when
pressed admitted that he had been engaged
since Wednesday last in checking up Mr.
Lane's accounts nt the depot nnd city ticket
offlce , and .that there appeared to be a
shortage of a large amount. What the
exact amount was he aaid he was not at
thla time permitted to make public ,
I.nne Given Hull.
The same secrecy was maintained at Jus
tice Fcrrler's offlce and no Information was
forthcoming there. Justice Ferrler stated
that an information had been filed and that
Mr. Lane had given ball for his appoarnuco
Monday morning , but declined to say by
-whom the Information had been filed. He
admitted that the amount with which Mr.
Lane was charged with being short In his
accounts exceeded $2,000. An examination
of the court docket showed that no entry
had been made of the Information. Issu
ance of the warrant or the arrest.
Mr. Lane spent the day In company \ 1th
the auditor and Inspector Geddee , and about
4 o'clock In the afternoon accompanied them
to Omaha. He appeared to bo very nervous
nnd declined to talk about the trouble be
yond saying , "I am In trouble aud have noth
ing to eay about It. "
Agent Lane has held his present position
in this city for about fourteen years , coming
here from Dakota , and is one of the most
popular railroad men In this section of the
country. Ills friends , and almost every one
In Council Bluffs can bo counted as mich ,
arc loath to believe that he has been guilty
of any misdoing , and feel confident that the
trouble will be straightened out to the satis
faction of all concerned. If a shortage does
exist hU friends feel confident that he is
not responsible for It and that ho never used
any of the company's money that he was not
entitled to. Mr. Lane is a married man and
liven with his wife at the corner of Eight
eenth street and First avenue. Both he and
Mrs. Lane are social favorites , and his do
mestic life was of the happiest. As far as
IB known ho had no expensive tastes and
was generally regarded as a man of exem
plary domestic habits.
Amount of the ShortMKC.
It was ascertained last evening that the
amount which Mr. Lane is charged with
belnc short Is $2,334. The Information
chorees him with larceny by embezzlement
nnd was filed by R. M. Robertson , traveling
auditor for the railway company , and not
by H. L. Geddes , the Inspector of the bondIng -
Ing company , as first reported. C. R. Ilan-
nan , cashier of the First National bank ,
signed Mr. Lane's bond.
Traveling Auditor R. M. Robertson went
to Chicago last evening , but it Is understood
ho will return here Monday morning. He
has taken charge of both the ticket and
freight offices and during his absence Will
Butler , cashier at the freight office , will
have control.
After Mr. Lane's return from Omaha yes
terday evening , ho went to his home at
First avenue and Eighth street , whore ho
refused to see anyone or discuss the mat
ter.
Thn popular cigar nnd randy store of
Klein's , at 112 Broadway , has changed hands ,

people , Is In charge as proprietor. The popu
larity of the store win therefore hold its
own , and the trade will receive the same
courteous treatment as In the past , while the
goods will bo kept at the hleh standard
which has made the store the Icadlnc one of
UK kind In the city.

mlNNcit the Contempt I'roeeedliiK" .
Judge Smith of the district court handed
down his decision yesterday In the contempt
case brought by J. J. Shea ngalnst Mayor

In April last. Shea asked that the city nffl-
< ilalH bo onlered to rescind the resolutions

refunding of the general fund and water
fund warrants and that on failure to do BO
they bo < k emed In contempt of court and or
dered confined In tlm city Jail until tbey
should comply with the order. Shea took the
position that * he council In passing tbo reso
lution did so in dellanro of Judge Townor's
ruling In ilio Injunction null brought by him
to restrain the city from ] > aying any of the
outstanding warrants. Judge Smith corre
sponded with Judge Townor and the latter
wrote stating that ho Tiad not In hlo ruling
Intended to prohibit the city from refunding
any of Its valid outstanding Indebtedness.
Ho accordingly dismissed the contempt .pro
ceedings brought by Shea ,
No sooner had Judge Smith handed down
his decision than Shea bobbed up again with
another petition In which ho aske l for an In
junction to restrain the city from Issuing the
refunding bonds on the grounds that accord
ing to his calculations the city was already
indebted beyond Its constitutional limit.
The city , Mayor Jennings , Treasurer Reed ,
Auditor Evans , Clerk Phillips and the mem
bers of the city council are named as de
fendants In the suit. Judge Smith Issued a
temporary restraining order and fixed the
hearing on the application for Tuesday , July
18 , at 9:30 : a , ra , The temporary restraining
order prohibits the city from refunding the
boixla or from doing any other matter or
thing that -would render such Injunction If
grouted Ineffectual ,

cision In the case brought by the city against
the board of Couuty Supervisor * to enforce
the payment by the county of the bills In
curred for guards nhllo maintaining the
quarantine regulations In the late smallpox
