Tho Omaha & Council Bluffs Hallway and
Htldge company entered Into a contract yes
tot day morning with K. A. 'Wlckham for
Ihc removal of the earth that Is now ob
structing tho entrance Into Kalrmount park.
This was In accordance with the notice
whl'h tho motor company last week nerved
on Mayor Jennings and tho members of the
Hoard of Park Conim'-isloners, that unless
they forthwith removed tho obstructions tho
company would do it and seek to recover
the cost and damages from tho board.
Contractor Wlckham had everything ready
to commence work, but the park commis
sioners hearing of the proponed move on the
part of the motor company at once In
structed their attorney to prepare papers In
an Injunction suit. This put a stop to the
work for tho present, as learning that an
Injunction would bo nought if any attempt
t0 remove the dirt was made, the motor
company notified Wlckham not to take hit ;
teams and men to tho cut until further or-
ders
As the mutter now stands tho motor com
pany has secured a temporary restraining
order enjoining the city nnd park board
from grading down the earth now In the
cut or making a driveway through the cut,
and the park board has enjoined the motor
company from removing tho dirt which pre
vents It running I to trains Into tho park.
Both aides stated yesterday that they be
lieved that the matter would be compro
mised ami an amicable settlement reached
that will bo satisfactory to both tho motor
company and the park board.
ti, ii n..i! nr... i. ih.ii
tho park commiwloners should bo willing I
I
to recedo from tho stand they have taken
and consent to bear at least part of the
expense of removing tho earth, half tho
cost of which tho motor company has
agreed to pay. Last Sunday several thous
and people visited the resort,, but on all j
Hides complaints were heard at being com- i
polled to walk from Graham avenue into
wi ,m uuu c...u a u.p.i ua.. ,
dirt several hundred feet In length.
Mayor Jennings believes that a compro-1
mleo could and should be reached In the
controversy without further delay, as while , NorHnKton o San Francisco, they having
tho park commissioners and the representa- , bpen maTTled Juno 20 ln that clty. The

Amendment to Its Petition. I to the home of Lieutenant French's parents.
The Sohlltz Browing company Is not will- Mr. nnd Mrs. II. C. French, was decorated
ing without another fight to give up Itc 1 appropriately. Lieutenant French mado the
claim to the thrco-story brick building on I acquaintance of his brldo while the Fifty
Broadway which It erected at a cost of ! first was stationed at San Francisco before
JS.000 nnd which by a quibble of the law sailing for tho Philippines and their eu-
the courts have decided belongs to Attor- I
nov John Lindt of this city. The company .
noy
yesterday, through August IJhleln, filed a
second amendment to Its petition In the suit
brought by It under the occupying tenant's
act against Llndt and In which Judge Smith
a few days ago sustained the demurrer
of Llndt.
In the amendment to the original petition
It Is set forth that the lease of Llndt &
Filter, the company's former tenants of the
building, under which they held at the time
of tho institution of the suit by Llndt. ex
pired prior to the final determination In
the supreme court and that at the time
Llndt secured a Judgment In Justice Vlen's
couri in Bis hciiuii m iuiu.uib ciiwjr ....;
uciaiiier. me pci.uuu u. . .imiij-
renearing in tue supremo cauri was men
pending nnd undetermined. Further It Is
claimed that ns soon as the Judgment was
obtained by Llndt In the Justice court Lln
der & Filter promptly and within the time
prescribed by the statute appealed to the
district court, where tho case Is now pend
ing. Such being the facts, the brewing com
pany Insists that It was legally In posses
sion of tho building and entitled to relief
under tho occupying tenant's act.

Mayor Jonnln and several members of

visiting the local brick plants with a view
to ascertaining If the quality of brick manu
factured at home was gcod enough for pav
ing. The general opinion of tho city olll-
rials U that the brick Is suitable, but that
It Is doubtful If sufficient can be made hero
for all thn paving contemplated this year.
The local brick minufacturora, however, as
sert that If given tho preferenco they will
Increase the capacity nf their plants and

The meeting' of l'oiirth ward property
owners to urgo the uso of nsphaltum on the

held this evening at tho ofllco of Bay ft
Hess on Pearl street. City olllclals as a rule
are opposed to nsphaltum on tho grounds
that It costs more to keep In rcp'tlr than
brick paving. They say that with the ex
treme of heat and cold that occur In this
city the asphalt Ib bound to crack and con
stantly need repairing and that us there
would not bo enough paving of this kind to
warrant tho maintenance of a plant In this
city nil repairs would have to be done by tho
Omaha company.

After a hard fight In the populist co'tnty
convention held here Saturday tho delegates
to the stato convention to be held at Yank

Joseph B. Moore for congressman. Antl
Mooro literature had been distributed In the

a?o, when ex-Judge Plowman was a candi
date for congressman, came up ln the con
vention, causing much spirited debate. Judge
Plowman was then holding the same posi
tion that Judge Moore holds now. At that
time Moore opposed, ln a circular letter,
Plowman's candidacy, on the grounds that It
was unconstitutional for a circuit Judge to
be elected to congress. Judge Mooro has
changed his views and evidently the views
of tho populist convention.
AYyoiuliiK Wool in Iilnlin.
OPAL. "Wyo., June 26. (Special.) A
prominent sheep man here says that a large
number of Wyoming flockmastera have
driven their sheep to Soda Springs, Idaho,
nnd have shipped their wool from that
point. He believes that upward of 1,500,
000 pounds of Wyoming wool will thus be
credited to the clip of Idaho, whereas tho
sheep wero raised In this state. In addition
to this the flocks will be In Idaho when
tho assessors In "this county mako their
round and tho state will be deprived of
the taxes on the thousands ot head of sheep.
The reason for treklng to Soda Springs is
that tho wool from that place has an en
vlablo reputation ln tho Boston market and
tho flockmasterw receive' more for their
fleeces when they ship from Soda Springs.

The question of purchasing a fire engine
to afford additional protection to the busi
ness portion of tho city is bolng agitated by
Coutifllmati Tralnor and others. It Is pro
posed to purchase an engine now stored In
Chicago for $.1,500 and with this Idea In
view a committee of tho council will visit
the corporations with a request for dona
tions. Those who claim to know the feeling
of tho packers assert that there will be no
dldlculty In securing a donation of $100 from
each packing house and a like sum from tho
Union Stock Yards company.
When flro hall No. 2 on Indian Hilt was
remodeled n year or so ago provision was
made for a fire ntcamcr and If an englno Is
purchased It Is thought It will be located at
this house, so that, thero will bo a down
grade run to all of the packing housed and
the stock yards,
conservative membera or tne council iio
not consider the purchase of an engine such
a formidable undertaking, but tho cost of
.,., . ..... , . . , , .
inn iiiiciia iito in filial, in lu lit? i;uii9iiit;t t'li.
The englno will cost $1,C00 laid down here,
while at least $300 will havo to be spent to
purchase a team capable of hauling tho ma
chine. Another $100 will havo to go fnr
harness and then tho pay of three men, an
engineer, driver and stoker. In tho course
of twelve months tho pay of these threo
men at the usual rate of $60 a month will
amount to $2,160. Add to this the cost of
horses, harness and allow $100 tor repairs
for a year, means a total expenditure tho
first year of $1,330.
In speaking about this matter last even
ing a taxpayer who Is familiar with city af
fairs said that while tho city needed a Ore
engine the packers would derive the benefit
and he advocated the Idea of allowing tho
plants to buy an engine If they wanted one.
The city charter allows a levy of only 3
mills for tire purposes and the estimated ex
pense or tne present department ror tho
coming fiscal year Is $3,600. This sum can
hardly bo raised on account of tho low
valuation nnd the money. If an engine Is
maintained, will have to come from other
sources.
Councilman Fltlo stated yesterday that he
was opposed to the proposition. He thinks
It will be far better for the rlty to pur
chase another hoso wagon and maintain a
fire station In the Second ward, ns was
promised before election. "This section of
the city needs protection,' said Mr. Flue.
"nnd the money, paid for a second-hand en
gine will equip a fire company In goo I
shape." This feeling seems to prevail to a
great extent and It Is doubtful If Tralnor
will succeed ln his scheme to unload a sec
ond-hand steamer onto the city. Thero has
been no complaint about tho direct pres
sure maintained by tho Omaha Water com
pany. It Is true that at tho Rushforth fire
the pressure appeared to some to bo a little
low, but this was caused by the number of
lines laid In. The city department main
tained four lines and In addition there were
the Armour, Hammond, Swift and the stock
yards lines. Mains were tapped at Twenty-
fourth, Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixtn
streets. No call was made on the big thirty-
Inch main, which runs south on Twenty
seventh street.
It Is asserted by somo of the councllmcn
that much better protection can be given
by supplying anotner nose company anu a nu may be Immediately arrested and Im
hook and ladder than by spending all tho l prisoned for the remainder of the term for
money in slgnt ror an engine, iven n me
packers do help out, the cost of mainte
nance will fall heavily upon tho taxpayers
and but little protection will be afforded
to the residence districts, as ln muddy
weather It will be Impossible to drag an
engine through the unpaved streets. This
question Is one In which the citizens a;p arj
to be greatly Interested, but when figures
are shown the municipal fathers must Icok
to the funds on hand before making a pur-
cva3e.
Two or more years ago Chief Smith pur
chased a hook and ladder truck from tho
Council Rluffs flro department, paying for
It out of his own pocket with tho expecta
tion that the city would not only relmburso
him but would man thelraachlno. This has
never been done and the truck stands to
day at No. 1 fire hall without ever hav ng
been In service In South Omaha. As the
council has never seen Its way clear to fur
nish horses and a driver for the apparatus,
It Is rotting away In quarters without being
of any benefit to tho city.
Each packing house maintains a fire de
partment of Us own with pumps which are
constantly under pressure, so that there is
no great need of the city expending a large
sum for fire protection to these plants abre
when tho resldenco portions nre left 1 fl
out nny protection at all. Somo time ags
a movement was on foot among the cor, o a-
tlons to purchase an engine, but on account
of each house having Its own department
and maintaining high pressure pumps tho
matter was, dropped. Possibly the prestnt
agitation may result In finding eomo way cut
of the difficulty.

to nil tno vncancy causea oy tno res gni
tlon of A. R. Kelly It Is assorted that tho
combination which has been working unler
Ed Johnston Is broken. Mayor Kelly will
now hnvo four votes with hlra on any propo
sition concerning good government and this
will make a tie, with the mayor having the
deciding vote In all cases where nn expen
diture of money is not under consideration.
General satisfaction appears to be felt over
the result and It Is now expected that tho
council will get down to business and net
with the administration Instead of pulling
against it. As It now stands thero are enven
republican members and one democratic
member, Johnston of the Fourth ward being
tho democrat. Councilman Clifton was busy
yesterday receiving the congratulations of
his friends on his confirmation. In a con
versation Mr. Clifton asserted that he would
6crve the city nnd his conrtltucnts to tho
best of his ability during his term, which
expires ln April, 1901.
Ntnek YnrilH Improvement.
A heavy concrete retaining wall protect
ing the north unloading chutes at the stock
yards was completed yesterday. Th;s wall
Is 1,240 feet In length, Is stx feet hlsh. four
feet wide at tho bottom and two fcrt at tho
top. It extends from the east entrance -n
the yards at N street to the L street viaduct
Behind this wall Is a twelve-foot brick p at
form and tho unloading chutes adjoining
have also been paved with brick. The
wall, platform and pavement have been 1ml
with a view to permanency and the total
cost will approximate $0,000. Tho Improve
ment Is much appreciated by shippers and
others who havo business at the north
chutes.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., June 26. (Special.)
A battle was fought a few days ago north
of Parktnan near the Montana-Wyoming
lino between two Crow Indian police and
two white men who had been ejected from
tho Crow Indian reservation. The Indians,
whose names are One Star and Yellow Brow,
were out rounding up cattle and while pass
ing a cablu on the Eggart ranch were fired
upon by two white men named William
and Robert McAdams. The Indians returned
the fire and several rounds were exchanged,
no damage being done. The matter was
reported to Major Edwards, the Crow In
dian agent, and he returned to the cabin
and arrested the two white men. The mat
ter will bo taken to the United States
