EIGHTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS INVOLVED Jaaaes B. riatt of Xerr York la Ihe rtrrhurr Who Loses the Salt la Federal Court. Xn the United States circuit court yes terday Judge Munger directed the Jury In the case of James B. I'latt of New Tork against Hitchcock county, Nebraska, to return a verdict for Hitchcock county.. Eult was brought to recover on the sale of 818,000 Irrigation ditch bonds Issued by Culbertaon precinct, Hitchcock county, for the conatructlon of an Irrigation and power ditch. The bonda were voted June 17, 1890, and the ditch was built and the bonds lasued and aold, riatt being the purchaser. ' It was then discovered that the bonds had been Illegally Issued and Hitchcock county resisted payment. The grounds of Illegal ity were that Culbertaon precinct could not Issue bonds for any purpose In excess of 10 per cent assessed valuation of the pre cinct. At the time of the vote on the proposition to Issue the bonds there was also an outstanding precinct bonded Indebt edness of (3,000 'on the assessed valuation of the taxable property of the precinct for the year 1890, being the last assessment prior to he vote upon the issuance of the Irrigation ditch bonds, which assessed valuation waa 169,110.53. Denies Power of Precinct. In view of this fact the defendants held that the precinct had no power to vote upon the Irrigation bonds proposition for the sum of $18,000. Notwithstanding, the Irrigation bonds were voted for June 17, 1890, and the county commissioners di rected they be issued. But now It Is de nied that the conditions precedent to the execution, issuance and delivery of the bonds were met, kept and performed by the county and precinct. Denial also Is made that a transcript or history of the bonds, setting forth the proceedings by which they were issued, Vhowtng the as sessed valuation of Culbertaon precinct was $216,673, was ever duly presented to the secretary and auditor of state, or that they were certified to these officers, or that they were ever registered according to law. The case was tried early during the present term before a Jury, but Judge Munger withheld his instructions to the - Jury until a later period. The Jury was reassembled and Judge Munger directed it to bring in a verdict for the defandants on the grounds herein related. The attorneys In the case were Fred Shep herd of Lincoln, for the plaintiff, and E. B, Duffy and F. H. Oalnes of Omaha and P. L Fobs of Crete, for Hitchcock county. MEMORY OF SENATOR QUAY Senator Allen Challenges the Assault of Rev. Yost on the Dead Senator's Name. MADISON, Neb., June 16. To the Editor of The Bee: My attention has been called to the baccalaureate sermon of Rev. Robert Tost, appearing in your issue of June 13, In which he says, among other things: I would rather live the rest of my days In the slums of this city or another city, credited by God s grace, than be heir to the black, corrupt, suspicious career of a man who declared tnat every energy should be bent lor himself Quay. The time will come when the majority will want to scratch his name off and remembering Moody will lite him up and say, "X would be a man like that." I am certain that those who enjoyed the acquaintance of Senator Quay and knew his many admirable traits, will deeply re gret that Mr. Yost uttered these strictures on the life of one who by reason of bis death is unable to defend his own memory. After eight years of association with Senator Quay, whose political beliefs were radically different from mine, and with whom I bad no political sympathy, I take pleasure In saying that In my Judgment he was an honest man; that his methods were open and honorable, and I know that he endeared himself to those with whom he came in personal contact. More than once It became necessary for .me to rely on his word and he never deceived or mis led me. He kept his word religiously. Senator Quay never explained any charge made against him; he denied no accusation, but lived in the consciousness of the purity of his motives and the rectitude of his .purposes. If Mr. Yost knew that John Wanamaker waa the man of all men who made bitter war on Senator Quay, to the end that be might 'Succeed blm In the United States senate, and that he did not top short of having his paper, the Phila delphia North American, print libelous ar ticles againat Quay in almost every Issue, ' and if he also knew that Waiuunaker's mo tives were questionable and his methods frequently disreputable, he would not be guilty of stating that Senator Quay was "corrupt" and "the time will ' come when the majority will want to scratch his name oft." The relation between Senator Quay and myself - was not Intimate, but sufficiently close to enable ma to change my mind re specting him after I met and became ac quainted with him and to learn to fully appreciate his many excellent qualities of head and heart. No man of the present generation has done more for Pennsylvania than' Mathew Stanley Quay. He was an able man and valuable as a senator, and did much for the advancement of the people at large. While he was not a great orator and did not shine brilliantly in the forum of die ousslon, he was a good, strong, clear-headed debator, a man of marked individuality and of strong convictions and honest purposes. It seems to me It would be better for Mr. Yost to pplse his lance at the Uvlng rather than to drive it Into the tomb of the dead. I am prompted to write as I do not be cause I am under obligations, personal or Political, to defend the memory of the dead statesman, but because I believe I am In a position to know that the criticism is un just and should not go uncontradicted. I have the honor to be very truly yOurs, WILLIAM V. ALLEN. Pays for Striking His Wife.
