Officer was arrested last night on an indictment Returned by the district court grand Jury, charging him with fraud ulent banking. The Indictment Is a seauel to the suspension of tho private banking house of Omccr & Pusey In September, 1900. Charles Officer occupied the position of cashier In tho bank. He It the ehlost son of the lato Thomas Officer, senior part ner of the firm. He was released on a 13.000 bond furnished by his mother. Mrs. Elizabeth I. Officer.

The report of tho receivers, made Octo ber 23, gave the assests of the bank at $56. 79. nnd the liabilities at J534.45S. Consid erable of the estimated ssests have since proved to bo worthless. Thero has been considerable litigation in connection with winding up the affairs of thn bank, and creditors havo charged that the concern has been Insolvent for a long number of years. Tho exact nature of the charges against Charles Officer, on which tho grand Jury returned the Indictment was not made pub lic last night, but It is understood that one count is for receiving deposits after knowing that the bank was Insolvent. The witnesses before tho grand Jury comprised a number of the creditors of tho broken bank. Ilimtli-Kuer Sent to leiltfntl.irj. When Henry Darker.

STREET LAND GIVEN AWAY Hunker Ifnimnii nets Ground from City Council Over Mnyor'n Veto, Banker Hannan, who has already pre empted a considerable portion of the public streets around his bank building, succeeded last night In Inducing tho city council to make him nnother grant In the shape of nine Inches om Hrn.idw.iv and the same .naco on Nprtn M(ln street lc order lhat he may put In a swell front In the building jeeently bought by him from the receivers of the Officer ic Pusey bank. Mayor Jennings returned the resolution granting this privilege to Hannan without his signature, but tho council passed It over his veto. This was not accomplished until nn ordinance vacating the portion of the two streets In favor of Hannan had been passed, this action of the COUHCll TO . , ...... ii ..,.,,, ordinance, fearing that an ordinance would . .. ' fun nn ic ni-nr ihn mnvnr vein Mayor Jennings, In handing down his veto, gave these as his reasons: Thn streets are for tho use of tho gen erul public nnd are held In trust by the city for the use of the public, nn- should ho maintained as such until nubile policy or public exlgenclea should demand a sur render of such uso and control. Tho rights of the public should not be surrendered to private parties In such man ner that the public would be forever barred from regaining such rights, All obstructions In tho streets should be cranted only temtiorarl y. witn tne rmn reserved to remove the same nt any time the city council mourn minx proper. Tho mayor submitted nnother resolution, which ho said he was willing to sign, granting Hannan tho privilege asked for, but reserving the city's rights to tho prop crty Intnct. These resolutions were lg norcd. Alderman Drown, as soon as tho mayor's veto and suggestions had been received, moved that tho ordinance vacating twelve Inches of Oroadway and North Main street to Hannan be tnkon from tho table and amended to read nlno Inches. This wns carried and then the ordinance wns put on its finnl .reading and passed, Aldermen Lougeo nnd McDonald voting ngalnst It. The same course was then taken In regard to tho resolution granting the Hamilton shoe storo permission to occupy a small triangular spaco In front of Its building on Broadway. This had hardly been accomplished when, after n consultation in the lobby with Hanker Hannan, Alderman McDonald moved that tho original resolution granting Han nan permission to extend bis window nine Inches Into tho street bo passed over tho mayor's veto. This was carried and Alder man Lougee moved that the action of the council In passing tho ordinance be con sidered. This wns carried and the ordi nance was again placed on its final passage and failed to carry. The same course wat then taken with the Hamilton ordinance. Alderman Boyer Introduced nn ordinance' vacating three feet on Broadway and Scott street to enable the Omaha Brewing com pany to erect a handsome building In place of the old structure now there. This or dinance, however, failed to pats, Alderman Hammer, who was a foremost factor In se curing three feet of the public sidewalk on Broadway for tho Odd Fellows' temple, of which he Is cno of tho trustees, Alderman Lougee nnd Alderman McDonald voting against it. Bids for laying brick sidewalks were opened nndx referred to the city engineer for tabulation. W. V. Rogers was granted permission to conduct n saloou at E52 Broadway.
