Argraea Kemaha Case,
Attorney General Prout has returned from
Nemaha county, where he appeared in
defense of the State Board of Equalisation
in the Injunction case brought by Church
Howe and others to prevent the operation
of the Increase In that county's valuation
made by the state board. Mr. Prout said
the feeling against the Increase was In
tense around Auburn and that the citizens
turned out In large numbers at the hearing.
Judge Kelllger has taken the matter under
advisement. The attorney general, In his
argument, said the state board did what
it had a right to do in making the increase
and that the courts had no right to. Inter
fere, because they have nothing but the
negative vested In them and could not make
a fair equalization should It be necessary
to make any changes.
The attorney general cited Nebraska
cases to show that the same rule has been
recc.rnized In this state and that under
the old law the county boards of equali
zation have had the power to Increase and
decrease the valuation of townships for
purpose of equalizing. The case' of the
State ex rel Bee Publishing Company
against Savage. Involving the taxation of
railways. Is also cited to ahow that the
courta have no Jurisdiction over the action !
taken by equalizing bodies unless fraud is
charged. Before, a court haa the right to
look into the matter, he Insists, bad faith
on the part of the members of the state
board must be shown.
If the decision is against the Btate the
appeal will be perfected at the earliest pos
alblo moment, so that there may be an early
determination of the questions Involved.
The increases' made in twenty-four coun
ties are dependent on the decision in the
Nemaha county case,

ARGIE FOR ASSESSMENT RAISE
Attorney (Irsrral Attempts to Defeat
the f harrh Howe Injunction.
AUBURN, Neb., Aug. 27. (Speclal.)-The
caso wherein Hon. Church Howe obtained
a temporary Injunction restraining the
county clerk from extending on the tax
rolls the 5 per cent Increase mnde by the
State Board of Equalization came on for
hearing yesterday on the motion filed by
the attorney general and county attorney
to dissolve the temporary ordr before
Judge V. H. Kelllgar of the district court.
Attorney General Trout and his deputy,
Norris Brown, together with County At
torney Quackenbush, argued the case In
support of the motion, and Edgar Ferneau
and H. A. Lambert represented the plain
tiff. The first contention of the attorneys
for the defense was that the court had no
Jurisdiction of the case; that the board
acted Judicially, and its action was final
and could not be reviewed by a court of
equity. This contention was overruled by
the court, which announced that in a prop
er case a court of equity would grant re
lief. The case was then argued on the
question whether the petition stated a
cause for action, and whether there was
any equity in the bill, and on this phase
the court took the case under advisement,
knd will render an early decision.
One of the contentions of the plaintiff ts
that the authorities cannot tax a man on
a valuation of his property for more than
the true value thereof, and that any law
that permits It, or any attempt to do so Is
Illegal and In violation of the constitution.
The motion to dissolve Is In the nature of
a demurrer, and the attorney general an
nounced his Intention to stand on his mo
tion, should It be overruled and take the
caso to the supreme court, where he hopes
to get a speedy hearing.

STRIKERS WAIT FOR WORD
Nothing Heard from Chicago as to the
Terma of Settlement.
STREETS QUIET AND TOWN PEACEABLE
Two Sffikers Arrested sad Two
Deputy Sheriffs Taken Into
Custody by the Police
for Bring Drank.
There was no change ut all In the strike
situation In South Omaha on Saturday.
The packers reported tho arrival of sortie
men from Kansas City and Chicago sent
here to take the places of some of the
men sent here from the south who proved
unsatisfactory. The lackers assert that
they now have all the men they want to
take care of the livestock receipts and that
there Is no trouble In getting butchers from
other cities.
No news of any Importance wns given
out at labor headquarters last night. None
of the officials here bad heard from Chi
cago, at least no news of any Importance
hud been received. Committees of union
men with authority from labor headquar
ters have been soliciting financial aid in
Omaha and South Omaha. Those consti
tuting the solcitlng committee did not
make any report last night, but one Is
expected today. Thu relief store was not
opened Saturday as was expected. The
leaders sav that supplies of the kind
wanted could not be secured.
While few union men were to be seen
on the streets last night, those who were
about seemed to think that a settlement
of a satisfactory nature would be reached
In Chlcnro on Monday. Just what kind
of a settlement President Donnelly pro
pdses Is not known here, and so the lend
ers nssert that they cannot talk with any
authority on tho matter.
Men Moved Easily.
Saturdny night's dummy train wns mado
up of ten coaches and the cars were all
filled with men now working in the pack
Ins houses who were taken to Omaha to
spend Sunday.
In order to prevent as far as posr.'.ble
disturbances similar to Saturdny night,
August 20, extra precautions were taken.
Sheriff Power sent down twenty-four depu
ties In addition to rhe ten deputies already
doing night duty. Chief Brlggs put on a
number of extra special police to assist In
preserving order.
The first sign of disturbance In the even
ing occurred about 8 o'clock, when Louis
Allx and John Cross were arrested at
Thirty-third and L streets for assaulting
a nonunion man. The police were unable
at the time to learn the name of the man
assaulted, but word was received at the
city Jail that he had not been badly In
jured. These prisoners are to be turned
over to Sheriff Power.-
On account of some extra work a portion
of the office force at Cudahy's was de
tained last night until 9 o'clock. Two
special motor cars had been provided for
the men, and these cars were amply pro
tected by police and deputies. Both of
the special cars went through without
any disturbance being started, and only a
few strikers gathered to see tho start.
The streets cleared shortly after 10
o'clock an dthe extra deputies and some
o'clock and the extra deputies and some
duty shortly before midnight.
Strike Breakers Have Enough.
Quite a number of strike breakers snld
upon leaving the plants last evening that
they would not return, as a settlement
Is looked for on Monday and they consid
ered that a portion of the old men would
go back to work in a day of two.
The police found It necessary to take two
deputy sheriffs Into custody last night for
being drunk. At the Jail the deputies gave
their names as J. C. Chezeneen and Joseph
Nachtrcbles. Chief Brlggs took the stars
and clubs away from these men and sent
them home. Detective Elsfelder reported
that he found both of the deputies In a N
street saloon drinking more than was good
for them and trying In a number Of ways
to start trouble.
TRAVELING ME RESl.ME WORK
Start Ont with Competition of Small
Plants to Overcome.,
Another step to convince the public that
the packers' strike is over was taken in
South Omnha yesterday, when the trav
eling men received orders to prepare for
their regular trips, as usual. Gripsacks
were brought; out and the men began the
work of getting their samples ready The
nen will start out Monday morning for tho
first time since the strike begun and will
cover their regular territory.
When the strike began the men were
called off the road and were presesd Into
service at the stock yards with the other
employes not directly affected by the walk
out of the butchers. Charles Lowe, one of
Swift's men, who Is known as "the high
Mr. Lowe," was among the men who re
ceiver orders to resume their trips. He
said, in answer to questions:
"The traveling men are going out on the
road as usual. Since the strike we have
been working Inside and naturally the men
are glad to get out. So far as we are
concerned, the strike Is over (and things
are going along in the normal way. The
plant has all the help It needs."
"Have you skilled help enough?" was
asked.
"Well, we have all we can use. It Is
pretty dull just now, but as business picks
up we will, of course, put on more men,
and we anticipate no trouble getting nil
the skilled help we rteed."
"What Is the occasion of the falling of
In business Is It due to the strike or has
the season something to do with It?"
"Well, It Is affected by both conditions.
The season affects trade some, but, of

course, the strike has affected It a great
deal. The strike has given the small pack
ers an opportunity to step In snd get con
siderable of the trade held by the big
concerns. Before the strike the best cus
tomers were afraid to buy of them. The
customer felt that he could not do as well.
As Individual plants the small packing
plants do not cut much figure, but In the
aggregate they make quite a showing, and
at a time like this their influence Is bound
to be felt.
There Is one pretty large Independent
plant at Nebraska City and a score of
them scattered over Iowa. One of the
smaller Independent plants Is located right
In Omaha, and while It Is not doing much
with smoked bacon and hams and that
class of goods, It has been supplying the
local trade with considerable fre.th meat.
Of course these things have thtir effect on
the business of the big plants and the trav
eling men will have a great deal to over
come when they take up their regular trips
It is easier to make new customers than to
recover old ones that have dropped off. I
have no fear, though, that everything will
be running along, pretty soon, the same as
usual, for so far ss the strike is concerned
here, that Is a thing of the past."
DEI'l'TV SHERIFF FOl'XD GCILTY
Special Officer Fined for Aasaaltlna;
Man Without Canne.
Louis P. Sipes, a deputy sheriff sworn In
to preserve order during the packing house
strike, was fined $.15 and costs In police
