INQUESTS ON TRAIN VICTIMS
N. Y. numbing Co., telephono 250.
14. II. .Mnrlln Visits lllrt li)ilnec.
Edmund II. Mnrlln of the Colorado Stnte
prison at Cannon City arrived In this city
last evening on his way homo from Kansas
City, whero he attended the National
I'rlson congress. He Is stopping at the
Grand hotel and Is accompanied by hl wife.
Warden Martin was a resident of Coun
cil Dluffs when It was known a Kanes
villa. Ho wbs born hero and left for the
west with his father, William Martin, who
whs quartermaster In Johnson's army In
1850, when It went to Salt l-ake City. This
Is Mr. Martin's first visit to Council niults
since ho left here, although he has passed
through on the train a number of times.
Shortly after his arrival Mr. Martin was
busy renewing acquaintances with a num
ber of nld-tlmo friends.
The application for the removal of
Charles T, Officer as administrator of the
estate of his father, Thomss Officer, senior
member of the defunct banking firm of
Officer & I'usey, was filed In tho district
court yesterday.
The application, which Is said to be made
on behalf of more than a majority of tho
creditors of the estate, contains twenty-one
reasons as alleged by the petitioners why
the administrator should be removed. It
states that a majority of the creditors are
opposed to htm serving as such and that
he Is not transacting the business of the
estate so as to protect the Intercuts of the
creditors, and further that by reason of
his relationship and other adverse Inter
cats to the rights of tho creditors he Is
Incompetent to All tho position.
Attention Is called to the fact that there
Is a large property lutcrcst held by mem.
bora of the family of tho administrator
claimed to he owned by them. Into the facts
of which the court, It Is alleged, should
Inquire by suit brought by the adminis
trator and that In one Instance It was found
necessary to secure the appointment by
the court of a special administrator to
bring mitt against the sister of the admin
istrator. Object In the l.mijrrn.
Objection Is raised to the fact of the ad
ministrators employing the attorneys for
the widow and other heirs to represent him
in all matters of litigation connected with
the estate. It Is alleged that while he lias
expended large sums of money In tho In
vestigation of the mining properties of the
cstnte, ho has failed to acquire any Infor
mation or knowledge which might assist
the court or himself in properly directing
the disposition or management of the estate
with reference to these mining properties.
H Is charged that the administrator has
failed to seasonably apply for authority to
sell the real estate for which there has ex
isted a good demand and price and which
It is claimed ought to be sold for the ben
efit of tho estate and Its creditors. It Is
also charged that ho has failed to have the
rights of dower claimed by the widow de
termined, although he has been acting as
administrator for over a year. Attention
Is also railed to the fact that the same at
torneys as represent the administrator pre
pared and filed the widow's claim for dower.
Objection to his acting further as admin
istrator Is also made on the grounds of his
connection with tho defunct bank, It being
the bellof of the petitioning creditors that
he was aware of Its condition and that It
was Insolvent at tho time they were Induced
to deposit tholr money.
In Interest of Heirs.
In support of the allegation that the ad
ministrator Is working more for the Inter
ests of the hclra than for the creditors, at
tention is called to tho report of the ad
ministrator, which shows that not only the
funeral expenses, but that the expenses of
the family havo all been paid, Including the
family groceries and other domestic bills,
oven to the wages of the girl employed at
tho dwelling.
It Is alleged that the estate Is so hopt-
Icssly Insolvent that the heirs of Thomas
Oftlccr have no Interest whatever In tho
assets other than perhaps the widow's
statutory Interest.
Another alleged rrason for Ills removal
is that while It was the duty of the admin
istrator to take possession of nil the land
of tho estato and collect tho rents he has
failrd to do so, and has failed to make any
report to the court of the receipt of any
rents for either of the two years during
which he has had the right to collect tlm
same, although largo sums of money havo
acc
accounted for;
the administrator and heirs that these lands
be not sold nnd that by reason of lapse of
time tho rlghu of tho creditors therein to
subject the same to the Indebtedness or the
estato should coase and determine.
Clinrle) Anderson lllea of Injuries nnd
Train Crcn Is Ki
enlpnteil. Charley Andtrson, the lad who attempted
to Jump on a Northwestern train Wednes
day evening on First avenue and Thlrteen'h
street and was crushed beneath the wheels,
died early yesterday morning from his In
juries at tho Woman's Christian Associa
tion hospital. At the Inquest yesterday
afternoon the Jury brought In a verdict to
tho effert that the boy came to his death
while attempting to Jump on the train und
that the railroad company was In no way
to blame.
Russell and James Williams and Frank
floss, three youthful companions of the
dead boy, were the only witnesses exam
ined nt the Inquest. Tho train crew was
not aware of the accident nnd did not know
that tbc hoy had been run over until In
formed by cmplojrs of the Illinois Central
railway. This being the case, the coroner
did not deem It ncctssary to bring them
before the Inquest. The boys testified that
they were sitting on the bridge over Indian
Creek at Fourteenth street, when the train
of pacsenger coaches passed and that young
Anderson suggested that they Jump on and
take a ride. Anderson was in the lead and
succeeded In catching the step of the Inst
car but one. The brace of the bridge
knocked him off between the two enrs and
the whecjs of the last coach passed over
his right side. When the train passed
youna Anderson was lying with his leg
acrots the rail. He raised himself up snd
asked tho other boys to go nnd tell his
mother, then lapsed Into unconsciousness.
The boys said they did not see any of the
trainmen and did not believe any of the
trainmen saw them. They proved excep
tionally bright witnesses nnd told their
story In a clear and evidently straightfor
ward manner.
The Inquest over Thomas Green, who was
killed while attempting to hoard a freight
train Wfdnesday evening In tho local yards
of the Northwestern, will bo held this
morning at S o'clock In Cutler's undertak
ing rooms. It having been postponed from
jestcrday afternoon In order to secure the
attendance of a material witness. Robert
Sullivan, a young mnn living at Twenty
fourth and I streets, South Omahfc, who wns
with Oreen when the accident occurred,
came to the city yesterday afternoon to
look nt the remains of I1I3 friend. He enld
he and Green came to Council HlufTs
Wednesday afternoon to visit a friend
whoso residence they failed to locate. They
worked their wny across the river on a
freight train und were about to Meal a ridii
back when Green fell beneath the wheels.
Sullivan said he was so frightened when
ho saw Green's mangled body that he ran
from tho yards and mnde his way ba:k to
South Omaha as quickly as possible. Whilu
hero he was subpoenaed as u witness at tho
Inquest this morning.
James Green, a brother, arrived last even
ing and will take the remains of Thomas
Green homo to Kansax City today.
The funeral of Charley Anderson will be
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the
residence of Charles II. White, 622 MynstJr
street. Rev. W. B. Crewdson will conduct
the services and burial will be In Fnlrvlew
cemetery.

said, bore the names of both Doyle and

was his statement that ho had seen tho

Doyle and Hums on It. This point was
brought out strongly by the plaintiff's
counsel, as this mine forms one of the

Precedent for School i'miKles.
State Superintendent of Schools I'arrctt
today decided an appeal case from Van
Huren county relating to the duties nnd
authority or county superintendents which
sots a precedent ror them In many matters
or controversy. It wns a case In which
patrons had objected to tho moving of a
schoolhoiisr because or tho fact that certain
children would have to go too far for a
schooling. A compromise had been effected
by which the school board had agreed to
provide that the children should be schooled
In another district. The superintendent was
notified officially that this hod hcen done
and declared thn case closed, but Inter
found that the agreement hnd not been
carried out, and then refused to reopen tho
case on tho theory that It had heen closed
and ho had no right to reopen It. Hut the
stats superintendent cites the supremo
court as authority for It that tho state
superintendent Is In duty bound to reopen
a rase whero It has boen diacovercd that an
error hud boen made and he holds that tho
county superintendents have the same
power. Heretofore It h been the rustom
of superintendents to consider such cases
closed and to refuse to reopen them for
correction or when conditions have changed.
Tho state superintendent directs that Iho
case bo reopened.

Ills horso wai, dead and tho buggy ruined,
but he sustained only few brule.
the supreme court decided that a convict
who had been convicted for breaking out
of tho Anamosa penitentiary had been
wrongfully convicted. He had heen ono
of tho men employed in tho stono quarry,
which Is situated some distance from the
penitentiary proper. He and companion
dropped into n depression lu Hie ground
as the gang was walking homo ono evening,
tholr companions kicked a row leaves over
them and they remained thero until night,
when they quietly walked away. Ono
was convicted, but the court declare there
Is nothing In the statutes to make tho
stone quarry a part of the penitentiary,
henco he did not hrcsk out of the peniten
tiary. In view of the recent experlenco
of tho authorities In permitting prisoners
to escape from the federal prison at Leav
