n Jurisdiction.
At a recent meeting of the city council
the clerk was directed to notify the Bur
lington road to locate and maintain a light
at tho crossing at Forty-fourth and Q
streets. Upon looking at the map the
clerk discovered that the Burlington cross
ing on Q street was outside of the city
limits and he has not sent tho notice. It Is
stated by people residing In the western
portion of the city that a light Is a neces-
belonging to J. A. Fletcher, 3$ IS Parker
fctreet, March 13. Mr, Fletcher appeared
lu police court yesterday morning and swore
to a chargo of arson.
The detectives who have been working
up tho caso profess to have conclusive evi
dence against Furst. They will bring wit
nesteit to prove that he was seen In the
Immediate vicinity of nearly alt of tho
fires and that In most Instances ho was
the first to notify tho flro department as
to the exlstenco and whereabouts of the
blaze.

I'nveinrnt Repairs.
Tho Grant Paving company has virtually
completed the repairs to the pavement on
tho west aide of Twenty-fourth street and
work was commenced yesterday on the east
side. First estimates of tho work looked
like nn expenditure of $2,500, but the coun
cil only allowed 12,000. It looks now as
If tho repairs will bo completed for not
more than $1,600. City Engineer Heal Is
watching the work carefully nnd Is mcas
application on fllo for appointment as a uring every foot of repairs, with a view to
city fireman nnd that In order to show his
fitness for such appointment has manifested
unusual zeal In "discovering" fires and
In giving the department instructions as
to how to reach the threatened locality.
There Is "madness In his method," they
allege, but, nevertheless they proposo to
bring this out In the trial as constituting
tho motive for tho crimes.
They havo been assisted In tho work by
John DeLnng of Atchison, Kan., special
agent for tho Missouri Pacific, who was
called Into tho c.iRe nn the result of one
of tho company's cars being burned.
One of tho strongest witnesses against
Furst Is 11 man whoso namo will
bo suppressed until the time of trial. This
witness will testify that Furst In effect
predicted tho burning of Fletcher's hay
rick by saying:
"Do you notlco how red tho sunset Is
keeping down expenses. In cases where
the Omaha Oas company has mado service
connections nnd broken the pavement tho
company Is paying for tho cost of repairs
at the same rate as tho city Is paying.
This tends to reduce tho expense to tho
city and Engineer Bcal states that tho
work can he completed within tho next
few days at less expense than originally
estimated,

The caso first came to trial In February of

was returned for the defendants. This
decision was reversed by the supreme court.
On a second trial before Judge Fawcett
