CONTROVERSY OVER A TOWN Disputed Ownership of Land on Wblct Ynma , Oolo. , is Located. CASE HAS BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL COURTS ( come V. Kntlilcr Aftiicrtii Hint the l.niul ItlRlitftillr llolonK" to Him nf lrrctrulnrlt- Original 13iitrr > Judeo T. J. Shlras of the United State * circuit court has sustained a demurrer in the celebrated case of George F. Emblcn against the Lincoln Townslto company nni others , thereby holding that the plaintiff had no vested right In certain property which ho claimed to have gained possession of li Colorado in 1888. Mr. Emblem , through hti attorney , T. J. Mahoncy , lias appealed the case to the United States circuit court o nppenls. Many people have bccomo familiar with this case during the many years that It has been pursuing the uneven tenor of its way through court after court. It Involves title to n quarter section of land In Colorado upon which the town of Yuma is now lo cated. Tills land , it seems , was originally located by ono George F. Weed. On Oc tober 4 , 1S88 , Emblem contested it on the ground that Weed had uot compiled with the necessary legal requirements to retain possession of the property. The case wan flrst taken before the register and recelvei of the Denver land office. In which dlstrlc the land was situated. These officers recom mended a dismissal of the contest. The plaintiff carried tlio case to the genera land ofllco nnd Lewis A. Groff , formerly a judge on the district bench in Omaha , whc was at tbat tlino commissioner of the gen eral land office , sustained the contest o Emblem nnd reversed the decision of the Denver land office officials. The next ster In the case was a rehearing which was granted Weed. A redlstrlctlng of the Colorado rado public lands liad meantime been made and the rehearing was brought before the land office officials of Akron , who dlsmlssei the contest nnd gave Weed right of pos session. Emblem alleges that ono of the officers of the Akron land office was inter ested with Weed in the property and on this ground an appeal wa taken to ttic general land office , where the plaintiff's claim was rejected again. The case finally cot into the Dcpartmen of the Interior. It had become of cenera public interest because the town of Yuma had been located on the disputed land. Its flrst introduction Into the department re sulted in a defeat for the plaintiff. Next Hoko Smith , who had meantime been ap pointed to the Department of Interior , ren dered a decision in laver of Emblen , sus taining the previous decision of Commis sioner Qroff. Ho recommended a rehearing at Akron. At this , the defendants in the case , it is claimed , .brought . about a continuance am carried the matter Into the halls of con gress , where , on December 29 , 1894 , an act was passed affirming the tltlo of Gcorgo F Weed to the property. The plaintiff dis putes the validity of this congressional ac tion , claiming that such a decisive step was illegal owing to the fact that at the time of passage of the act , the question o tltlo was pending with the general land office. Ono peculiar feature In the case is the presence of a document filed Anrll 27 , 18S9 in which Emblen waives all his rights in the case. The claim is now sot up tha this document was of no lecal merit , am that when U was filed the land office of ficials at Denver refused to recognize it claiming that the contest was In operatlot and the filing of such a document was nol sufficient to Invalidate It until the proper evidence had been taken and passed upon. The case Is an Important one. The town of Yuma , situated upon the land in con troversy , Is a thriving llttlo city in Colorado rado , and in the event that Emblen shouK eventually prove victorious in this contest proceeding he will tie in position to re cover from all these who have purchased any property in the town , in the shape ol lots or other parcels of land. FAWCETT DECLARES HIMSELF SInUcs a Vlgoroun Aiinircr io Charges 3Indo liu the Campaign Him , The quarters ol the Sixth Ward Republican club at Twenty-fourth and Grant streets Tvero crowded last night to hear Judge Faw- cett , who had promised to answer in detail ono or two charges that have been circu lated by those who are opposing him in his campaign for renomlnatlon. Judge Fawcett spoke nt considerable length and with a good deal of spirit , and at tbo close of his remarks the club , by a unanimous vote , re peated Us previous endorsement of his can didacy. Judge Fawcett flrst spoke , of the Henry Mack injunction matter , which , ho eald , has been vigorously worked by his enemies to turn the colored voters of the ward against him. Mack is a colored man who owns a fet and cottage east of the Twentieth street fence on the exposition grounds , The expo sition management wanted to buy thla place when 'the grounds were selected , < but there was a difference of $100 in regard to the prl'co nnd the exposition people built the fcnco , leaving the question of damages to be Bottled later. Mack tore down the fance as often as it was rebuilt and on the application of the exposition management , and after a hearing , Judge Fawcett granted a temporary injunction to restrain Mack from tearing down the fence , exacting n bond of $1,000 from the exposition to secure Mack for what ever damages lie might sustain by reason of the fence. Judge Fawcett stated tbat the report had been circulated that ho had prevented Mack from securing any damages and , after ex plaining the facts , bo produced the records of the district court to ehow that the case had been settled , together with Mack's re ceipt ( for | 300 , in full settlement of bis Dandruff Ii * n unhealthy discharge from the sebaceous elands of the scalp and is easily cured by use of Lce'c Germozone , The giuat success of this remedy in the treatment of diseases of the skin , scalp , and mucous membrane , is due to the fact that it is not merely a surface treat- tnent. it penetrates the deep pores of thr skin , removing all impurities , healing the dl - eased surface and the deep glands and pores which it Is impossible to reach by any other method , Mr. John P.

Judge Fawcett also entered into a de tailed discussion of his action in regard to the garbage cases , on account of which ho said ho had Incurred the. opposition of car- tain persons , nnd after reviewing the gar bage contract in terms of vigorous condem nation ho declared that lie would repeat what ho said from the bench , that it Is nu iniquitous and unjust monopoly. NEW COMPANY ORGANIZED Him R CititltnlUntlon of Jir ,000 for the 3Iiinufneturc uf ( Jim A plant will ibo established soon in Omaha for the manufacture of gasoline engines. A company has been formed with a capital ization of $150.000 $ , all paid In , and the stock will bo placed on the market on Monday. The officers of the now company , which Is to bo known 03 the Omaha Gas Engine and Motor company , are : 11. C. Akin , president ; H. K. Clover , vice president ; D. Hlsley , secretary ; F. B. Coulter , treasurer ; 0. E. dugler , superintendent. 11. K. Clover , the InvcnUir of the new engine to bo manufac tured by this company , la n first lieutenant In the United States Naval Engineer corps stationed at Tampa. The superiority of this engine over any other with gasoline as the motive power lies in the fact that .Mr. . Clover has dis covered n means whereby two explosions can bo secured for each rotation of the driving wheel so that the action ot the wheel Is pinctlcally continuous. Formerly the 'beat ' that could bo secured wns n Jerky llttlo motion with ono explosion for every four rotations of the drive-wheel. Mr. Clover has moreover discovered that crude pe troleum can bo utilized to generate gas and will cost about 80 cents per day to run an eight horse-power engine. The great possibility in the reduction of weight makes it altogether probable that the cn- glno will bo most valuable for use In the manufacture of automobiles. The lightest engine now employed for automobiles weighs In the neighborhood of 000 pounds. This engine of six horse-power can bo constructed to weigh not moro than ninety pounds. The mechanical scientists at this tlmo are looking to the gas cngtno to revolutionize the efficiency of automobiles , and Mr. Clover believes that ho has solved the prob lem. Motion Dny In Court.
