February of 1899 on account of a lack o;
funds to maintain the department hnro pre
pared a petition for a writ of mandamus
compelling the Hoard of Flro and PolLo
Commissioner! to reinstate them and to re
imburdo them for the tlmo lost at tho rato
of J70 per moath. Tho petition was pre
pared by John O. Yelsor, who submitted it
to City Attorney Council. Mr. Cunncll
will prepare an answer Immediately and tho
documents will bo (lied.
In tho petitions the plaintiffs assert that
they wcro discharged without cau?o; th .t
no charges were brought against th in.
that they were older In the nervlce than

under the laws of Nebraska, aro entitled to

the symptoms disappeared, but I penned to
need a beverage more strengthening than
hot water, as my occupation of nurse re

browning some wheat berries and using
that as coffee, but tho result was far from

History o
I
cane In which W H. Sboop and other officers
brought Into question tho right of the Board
of Flro and Pollco Commissioners to dis
charge men becauso of a lack of funds to
pay their salaries. Judgo Sullivan held
that tho board had the power to limit tho
slzo of the department according to tho
funds available for Its malntoaanco and
that specific charges need not be brought
against a man to make his discharge possi
ble. When it was discovered early In 1899 that
tho ordinance providing for the support of
the flro and pollco departments did not carry
a largo enough appropriation to support tho
fire and pollco departments unless there was
a material reduction In the forces, tho board
Instructed the chiefs of the flro and police
departments to select lists of men who could
best be spared. Tho names of thirty police
men were submitted to the board, which
choso the men who wero let out.
The discharged men take exception to the
method of selecting officers to bo released
and assert that thero wero political manipu
lations In violation of the law. This charge
will be denied by Mr. Council, who states
that personal friends of Mayor Moores and
members of tho board wero let out; that
there was no favoritism shown and that tho
recommendations of tho chief were carefully
followed regardless of personal preferences
or friendships.

Only u I'liiln Citizen.
John C. Havcmeyer of New York Is in
tho city attending to business connected
with heavy Investments In Omaha realty.
Ho camo from Kansas City, whero he la also
heavily Interested.
"No, I'm not the sugar man," ho said when
a reporter upoko to him, "and I have no In
terest la tho buslnefs. When I registered
at a Kansas City hotel I wan met by a re
porter from every paper In town and the first
questlcn asked was: 'What part Is the
Sugar trust going to take In the campaign?'
and 'Who was my favorlto candldato for vice
president?' When they found that I waa
neither the head of the sugar refining com
pany nor a delegate to tho convention, they
had no further uso for me.
"I do, however, take a llttlo Interest In
politics and am an old-school democrat who
has no uso for free sliver at tho ratio of
16 to 1, and just about an much uso for tho
form of expansion which tho present ad
ministration la giving us. It Is a bard thing
to classify me under present conditions and
there are many thousand like me In New
York who cannot toll what they will do on
election day.
"I am In Omaha on business and will re
main for tiome tlmo. I have had no oppor
tunity to seo the city yet, though generally
on my visits here I drlvo over It. I under
stand that tho census will not show as laigc
a population as In 1S90, but from all I can
learn tho city Is In better shape. Rental
values In Kansas City are low. but they
aro recovering from tho depression which
followed their boom."

was not a delegate, but ho Is counted among

in seating Clark's henchmen.
"I havo tried to keep out of tho fight

to take sides or be fought by both parties.
Daly is In Kurojio, but ho will return bo

SQUATTERS APPEAR IX COURT
Plead with Rude Eloquence for Their Littlo
Garden Patches.
CROPS ARE JUST COMING INTO BEARING
Sir. I'opulctoii Sny thnt lie Will Vot
Take Any Step In DeprWc
Them of the Krnlta of
Their Toll.
Honry Stubblcfiold, a squatter, pleaded
with rudo eloquence before Judge Vlnjnn
halcr yesterday for the right to a sheet
Iron shanty nnd garden patch. Stubblefteld
Is one of thti pre-cmptora of the Sulphur
Springe reserve, a tract owned for many
years by A. J. Poppleton and J. M. Wool
worth. Tho property was used by the ex
positions and the north slders now desire to
convert It into a park.
"I camo to Omaha during the exposition,"
said tho squatter, a tall, vigorous old man,
"and tho railroad men told mo I could camp
with my family under tho brow of tho hill.
I located thero because I thought tho sul
phur spring would benefit my wife's health.
The railroad peoplo said It was their land
and that I could plant a garden. So I
pulled up tho weeds and put In corn, pota
toes and peanuts, which aro now in the
ground nnd doing well. All around me, In
stead of weed patches, thero are llttlo cabins
surrounded by gardens. The crops are
Just coming Into bearing, and It would bo
starvation now to drive us away."
John Connolly, another squatter, mado his
statement. Hp was a gaunt, sallow-face.;
man of disheartened demeanor. "I am '!ck.
Judgo." said Connolly. "I am only a
transient. I don't claim any rights to my
shanty or garden. When I Settled there
a man named Lewis told mo It would be
all right. My garden was Just getting into
good shape when I got threo days' notice .to
movo. I nm willing to go, though, when
over tho owners lnlt on it " There was
a pauso whllo Connolly reached for his hat
and shuffled out of the room.
The other squatter canes were called and
continued eight dajs, on tho request of the
defendants. The most Important of thct,e
and tho only ono in which a shadow of a
valid claim exists, is that of Mrs. Leutzner,
who has admittedly lived on tho tract for
many years without paying rent. The law
confers squatter rights after ten years' un
disputed possession, and Mrs. LeuUncr may
ho able to establish thla period of rosldenco.
Tho plaintiff holds, however, that It was
plainly understood between tbem that Mrs.
Leutzncr was simply a tenant at will.
After tho statement of tho two squatters
W. S. Poppleton took pains to fro himself
from tho Imputation of being a harsh and
tyranlcal landowner. He said that while
it was nccifsary for him to assert his right
In order that the tltlo to the land might not
bo obscured, he had no Intention of Imposing
any hardship upon the tenants. He would
ask that wrltj of restitution be Issued In
atcordanco with his petition, he o.ild, hut
ho added that ho would uso all reasonable
'charity and consideration In forcing the
squatters to vacate. It was not bis deslro
that any man who had planted a garden pud
watched it grow should fall to reap the fill
benefit. Threo squatteru expressed them
solves content with tho arrangement.

LULL IN FREIGHT TRAFFIC
OfTlclnl Tnlii" a I.iiiir Ilrenth Ilcfnre
Hip Impending Mo cincnt of (iruln
to the Mn rkctn.
Freight officials report a decided lull tn
their branch of the railroad Industry at this
time. This Is by no means unusual at thU
season of tho year, as It is generally antici
pated that business will fall off, resulting
In a breathing spell for the freight men be
tween tho heavy traffic of the spring and
the big movement of grain which will begin
within a short time.
Tho big slump In rates prior to July 1 also
had a erceptlblo effect upon business that
naturally would bavo been moved at this
tlmo had not tho business world taken ad
vantage of the slaughtered tariffs In effect
and hurried shipments weeks In advance of
tho ordlrary practice.
"Wo anticipate that this slackness In
business will contlnuo but n orlef time,"
said a freight official today. "Already farm
ers throughout tho state arc harvesting their
crops and the movement of grain promises
to bo exceptionally large owing to tho fa
vorablo crop conditions In Nebraska and
Kansas. Omaha roads will largely profit
by thU condition, and It Is altogether prob
able that our equipment will bo taxed to
furnish accommodations for traffic when the
grain movement begins, along with tho big
traffic In other lines which is assured. For
tunately, tbo satisfactory operation of the
Western. Car Servlco apsorlatlon In Omaha
Is going to solvo to a considerable extent
the question of equipment, as wo will not
suffer the Inconvenience of tied up enrs
which has been such a drawback In the
past."

Wesley P. Adklns is seeking to ward oft

ns president of tho South Omaha council.
The action Is a petition In quo warranto
brought by tho county attorney praying that
tho president be divested of his dignity and
ousu.l Into tho ranks uf an ordinary alder
man.
On April 3, the county attorney points out.
a mayor and four councllmen were elected
In South Omahn, Councilman Kelly of the
First ward resigning his seat In order to
take the chair of chief executive. Tho
counciltncn met soon afterward to organize,
with Mayor Kelly temporarily In tho chair.
On tho ballot for president Patrick Trainor
secured tbreo vote and Wesley P. Adklns
an equal number. At this Juncture Kelly
cast hb vote with Adklns and declared him
clcted.
Judgo Doane, for tho state, expounded
tho law providing that newly elected coun
ciltncn tdMll meot to cbooso ono nf their

mayor had no authority whatever tn t lift
matter, inasmuch lis thero wns no regularly

ident Adklns continued to exercise his ex

validity of futuro ordinance and tax levies
would be open to grave doubt.
For tho defense Attorney Van Dusen
urged that the presidency of the counc'l
was not a public office In tho legal sense of
the term, but that It was u petition in
which tbo mayor had direct concern nnd
authority. In addition. It wnn contended
that Miiyor Kelly might havo cast bis ballot
