Business at the stock yards is holding up
remarkably well thc&o days and an Increase
In hog receipts Is shown almost dally. For
the week 70,000 hogs were received , the run
of yesterday being an exceptionally largo
ono for Saturday , numbering 12,600 head.
The receipts for the week were the largest
for any ono wcok slnco December last.
Prices still hold good nnd farmers are mak
ing money by marketing their stock at this
time. This market still holds Us own In
cattle receipts and was far ahead of the
other markets yesterday. Whllo Chicago
rocclvcd 200 head nnd Kansas City 100 head
yesterday there were unloaded and sold here
Ii200 head. This Is a showing which the
management of the stock yards company
feels proud of and shows that there Is a
constant hustle after business.
Whllo the tendency Is for higher prices on
hogs a slight drop .was . noticeable on Satur
day , but It Is thought that this will bo over
come Monday. It was reported hero yester
day that Armour would head the lists after
this In paying big money for hogs nnd If this
la the case this market will bo far better
than Kansas City. Some Nebraska shippers
have sent their stuff to the city on the Kaw
and have regretted U. After paying addi
tional freight charges nnd strlklffli a lower
market they have given It out that hereafter
South Omaha la good enough for them. Re
ports from the railroads continue to come
In to the eftoct that Nebraska and western
Iowa are full of hogs nnd It Is expected that
the majority of shipments from those dis
tricts will como to this market.

cement floor must be laid In the basement ,
but this can bo done any tlmo and will not
interfere with the work in the postofflco
proper. On the second floor the rooms for
the Bureau of Animal Industry are rapidly
assuming shape and will bo ready for occu
pancy as soon as the first floor. The em

CONTROVERSY OVER A TOWN
Disputed Ownership of Land on Wblct

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.

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

Judge Fawcett also entered into a de

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.
