OfTemlers.
Charles T. 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 banking house of Officer & Pusev,
which was established In 1SS7. dosed :ts
doors on the death of Thomai Officer, the
senior partner, September 12. 1900. On
Siptember 17, on the appllchtlor of Charl3
T. Officer, cashier of tho bank. John Here
sliclm and l,ouls F. Murphy were appointed
receivers by Judgo Macy of the district
court On October 10, W. II. M. Pusey.
tho surviving partner was committed to
tho State Asylum for the insane at Clarlnda.
where he died November 15. He was burlod
In this city November 1".
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.

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.
Residents on Harrison street demanded
that the . paving of that thoroughfare bo
done without delay and the committed on
streets and alloys was Instructed to do the
necessary grading and the Oas company was
ordered to lay Its main there at onco so
that the paving would not be delayed. Con

It Is learned hero that the management
of the Milwaukee railroad has positively
determined ,upon an extension of Us line
north from Boone to Brltt, through central
Iowa this year, thus connecting its north
ern route ncross Iowa with the central
route. Surveys have been made of this
new line, north and south. The Spirit Lake
Line will nlso be extended northward next
year to Lakeview, Minn. The Milwaukee
extension beyond Iloono will be east of the
river, while the Great Western extension
from Fort Dodge to Dos Molhos, will bo west
of tho Des Moines river. The Great West
ern, which has acquired the Winona &
Southwestern, will extend it from Osage
to Mason City next year, and thus get a
new route Into Wisconsin, nnd It Is learned
that tho Great Western haB also secured
such an Interest In the Green Bay and Wi
nona that It can acquire that road and
get to the lnkes by a new route.
