HUST AWAIT A DECISION FROM ROME

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Neb., June 2 Special.) In
Us opinion In the cane of Murphy against
Bonacum, handed down by the supreme
court this morning and recognized as one
of the moat aweeplng and most important
decisions of the court In many months,
the court ruled that It would not pass on a
controversy as to ownership or possession
of property when the parties claiming the
same derive their right from a church or
church society.
By right of his position as a bishop In
the Catholic church Bishop Bonacum sought
to oust Father William Murphy from pos
session of church property at Beward. The
rasa has been In the courts for a'num
tier of years and has several times been
passed upon by the supreme court until
now the question has developed into an la
terpretatlon of the canons of the church
and the standing of the two In the church.
In the loner court the bishop secured the
injunction, but in the opinion today the
supreme court reverses all of Its own
former decisions, reverses the opinion of
the lower court and tells the principals to
settle their difficulties with the authorities
of Rome, and throws the case out of court.
Commissioner Ames wrote theoplnlon and
in nis synaous said:
First The courts will not entertain
controversy concerning the title or right
or possession of real or personal property
except at the instance of some person or
persons having or claiming a right thereto
derived from, or recognized by, the laws
of this state or of the I'nhed States.
Second The courts of this state will not
review the process or proceedings of church
tribunals for the purpose of deciding
whether they are repular or within their
ecclesiastical Jurisdiction nor will they at
tempt to decide upon the membership or
t-plrltual status of persons belonging of
ilaimlng to belong to religious societies.
In the opinion the commissioner said:
This Injunction strikes us as not the
least remarkable of the proceedings under
review, jet it be supposed to be valla, a
It was held to be by the former opinion
ii nd let it be supposed also that It shall
tlnally be determined upon Its merits and
the decision made of record and exempli
tied in a satisfactory- manner; and one of
two consequences will be inevitable, elthe
the courts of this state will sit in review
of it as upon appeal, or more properly upon
certiorari, a thing which reason and the
authorities are unanimous in saying they
rannot do, or else they will humbly and un
hesitatingly register and enforce the decree
or sentence of independent and alien power
having its seat or spiritual and temporal
sovereignty in the ancient city or Kome
a proceeding for which there is no pre.
cedent in the l"nlted States, nor it is be
ileved In any court whose records are writ
ten In the Knglish language. But if neither
i, of these consequences is admitted then'the
injunction nas no practical ena or aim ana
deals with a controversy of which the
courts of this state can rightfully take
cognisance and is wholly void, and so we
esteem it.
Tha opinion, which was adopted by the
court, concludes as follows:
It Is recommended that the former de
tlslon of this court and the Judgment of
Ihe district court be wholly reversed, va
ated and set aside and the cause remanded
s-lth directions thst the action, both upon
he petition and upon the" cross-petition, be
llsmtssed, each party to pay his own costs,
ut without prejudioe to the future lltiga
:lon of the rights of either party, if either
las any. under the laws of this state, to
.he property tn dispute.

principal in me loni-frmvo-tim ui
. Bonacum against Murphy, which was de
'Ided by the supreme court this morning,
, x-as In Lincoln this afternoon and ex
tressed himself aa being well pleased with
the decision of the court "We have con-
ended that the civil courts had no right
to Interfere until after I had prosecuted
my appeal to Rome. That appeal la still
pending there and has been during the
progress of this case. The decision la In
line with what I desired."
Jahnke nets Sew Trial.
August F. Jahnke, sentenced to the peni
tentiary for life for the alleged murder of
Michael Plrck of Bog But'.e county, who
has already served three years of the time,
won out In the supreme court today and
his case was remanded, the supreme court
reversing the lower court and Betting aside
Its can former opinion. Chief Justice Hol-
comb dissented. Jahnke was convicted
upon the testimony of one witness, one
Olson, and the cane reads like fiction. Ac
cording to the testimony of Olson, he and
Jahnke made four attempts to kill Birck
before they were successful, the motive be
lng to secure possession of $5W Insurance
on the life of the man.
Wosias Holds Property.
The Vnion Pacific Railroad company can
not force Caroline Weatherford, an aged
squatter, off of land which it purchased
from the city of Omaha, by forcible entry
proceedings, but will have to try some
other tack. The woman had been living
on the land for a number of yeare before
tne railroad got possession of it. She was
served with notice to move and refused
to vacate, holding that the statute of lim
itation had run out In forcible entry pro
ceedings, and that the railroad had no more
right than the city, which ahould have
ejected her. The court held her contention
waa correct.
Preacher Geta Kew Trial.
The supreme court in an opinion written
by Judge Barnes decides that Philip Hu
bert, the negro preacher sentenced to six
years In the penitentiary for a statutory
crime against Lillian Hardy, the 15-year-
old daughter of one of his parishioners. Is
entitled to a new trial on the ground that
the information was defective, the admls
slon of Improper testimony to the prejudice
of the defendant, and that the evidence in
the record is insufficient to establish the
offense described tn the second clause of
section 12 of the code. It also appears to
that the atata was permitted to introduce
evidence of certain acts of the plaintiff
such as the purchase of two cocktails for
the officers who arrested him, and certain
statements alleged to have been made by
him to that officer, none of which cor
roborated or even tended, to corroborate
the evidence of the prosecutrix or Impeach
or discredit his testimony.
The supreme court upon completing the
business of this session this morning took
a recess until September, though the mem
bers may be called together during the
summer on extraordinary occasions. Chief
Justice Holcomb, who nas been in poor
health for some time, will leave shortly for a
trip to the Pacific coast in order to recup
erate. Whether he will be a candidate for
re-election this fall the Judge did not say,
but laughingly replied to the question that
he guessed he committed suicide when
he wrote the opinion in the biennial elec
tion's case.
Finishing Touches on Assessment.
The State Board of Assessment put ,the
finishing touches on the assessment of
railroad property this afternoon by fixing
the valuation of the Bante Fe at 12S.0UO
or an aasessed valuation of $5,000. The
board adopted the finding provided by
statutes and then closed up Its book.

All signa fall sometimes.
One of "June's unclouded skies," with the
temperature Just right, was the way the
weather man dished it out for the annual
grand outing of the Butchers' and Grocers'
-ssoclatlon. which was held at Missouri
Valley Thursday. At 7 o'clock the Tri-Clty
band, under the leadership of George F.
Abbott, began to discourse music St the
corner of Sixteenth and Farnam, and by
the time the procession was ready to move
to the depot the services of Sergeant Rent
frow and a squad of ten policemen were
required to open the way through the
throng for the street cars.
The Union depot presented a busy aspect
from 7:110 to 8:S0. while, the three North
western trains were being loaded with the
picnickers, with filled baskets snd great
anticipations of the day which was before
them. Each train had ten coaches and all
but two or three were well filled, making a
grand total of about 2.000 souls who spent
the dsy st Valley park.
Four extra coaches were sent to accom
modate the commission men, who went
later on the regular Northwestern trains,
so that all of the coaches were well filled
on the return. Secretary Fisher was the
busiest man in town, and his corps of as
sistants sold the tickets In an expeditious
manner that caused no delay. The North
western also had planned so that the crowd
was well handled, and George F. West and
City Ticket Agent Miller exchanged the
tickets as fast aa they were presented.
All Plana Are Set.
Everything was In readiness for the Jolly
crowd when it reached Valley Park and all
were soon enjoying themselves to the ut
most. All sorts of games had been pre
pared for the delectation of the guests of
the association and with a merry-go-round,
a candy wheel, fortune telling booths, the
birds and the little Jewelry games, the
scene waa an easy reminder of an old time
county fair, minus the live stock exhibit.
The weather was sufficiently cool for hun
dreds to enjoy the dancing In the big
pavilion, Abbott's orchestra furnishing the
music, and the players were kept busy all
of the time trjing to furnish music enough
for all who wished to dance.
The doll babies came tn for their share
of attention and the merry cry of "One
baby, one cigar!" was heard on all comers
of the grounds.
Family parties took advantage of the blue
grass and splendid shade which the park
affords to have a summer day outing and
all corners of the park were scenes of
harpy assemblages. The committee in
charge was delighted with the turnout,
but claimed that although this was the
largest that had ever been sent from
Omaha, there would have been a great
many more except for the recent Chicago
excursion, which had taken the heads of
families of many of the smaller stores to
the metropolis on the lake and the members
of the family did not wish to leave home
without the main member.
i
Ball Game Is Played.
Shortly after 1 o'clock the crowd wended
Its way to the ample grandstand, where a
base oall game and a card of sports were
pulled off. Most of Missouri Valley seemed
this city. The rooms proved by fsr too
small to seat the assembly which gathered
to witness the exercises. A most excellent
program was prepared for the occasion and
much enjoyed by all.
