Judge Baldwin stands prc-cmi
nently at the head ot those whose
mission on eartu is to make people
happy. Yesterday the Judge
placed a quartette of people in
state of bliss and it required but
little effort. At nine o'clock in the
morning he united in marriage
Carl Stegeinann of Wellfleet and
Mrs Mary TJ. Walsh of Omaha.
Just twelve hours later he pro
nounced the words which made
Charles Johnston and Miss Alice
Starcks man and wife. The latter
couple are well known, the groom
being a son of W. II. Johnston and
the bride, the daughter of Mrs. J.
M. Moouey.
Becler & Multloou, therelerccs
appointed to investigate the tax
controversy between Lincoln
county and the Union Pacific
company, made their report
yesterday to the county comtnis-
1 it r-.
sioncrs ana iv. w.ocriuner, uie
attcr representing the Union
Pacific company. The finding
was in the sum of $45,325.27, and
his was accepted by both the
commissioners and the railroad
company.
The Union Pacific company
lad become delinquent tn the
payment of its taxes for the
years 1895, 18, 1897, 1898 and
1899, winch amounted m round
numbers' to seventy thousand
dollars, The railroad company
refused to pay this amount of
taxes on the grounds of fraudu-
ent discrimination made by tne
assessors of the county for those
years. The refusal of the com
pany to pay these taxes leu the
county to begin action in tore-
closure. County Attorney Kidg-
cy began four suits against their
most valuable land in the county.
Hie company in April, 1900,
went into the fedcril court at
Omaha ' before Judge Mungcr
and tendered in round numbers
hirty-scven thousand dollars as
just tax owed by them to the
county based upon an actual cash
value ol the land, and in addition
applied to the court for an order
estraining the county attorney
and other county ofiicials from
prosecuting foreclosure cases
against the company in the state
courts. This restraining order
was granted by Judge Mungcr,
bince then the time in tne icd-
cral court has been taken up with
demurrers, the real issues in the
case not having been reached,
and with a possibility of the case
being in the courts tor many
years bctore linal adjustment.
rhe court passed upon one de
murrer m which among other
questions was the question as to
his jurisdiction to hear and try
the case, and this was decided
adversely to the county.
JJuring the progress ot the
case the Union Pacific company
tendered to the county commis
sioners tne same amount wnicu
they had tendered in the courts,
but this was refused by the com
missioners. Reeling contident
that the amount tendered was a
ust amount, the representative
of thje company agreed to submit
the controversy to any impartial
party or parties for arbitration.
As a result of this offer Jiceler &
Muldoon were appointed referees
n July, 1901.
The reierees at once began
their labors, and since then their
time has been given exclusively
to the matter. They went into
an exhaustive examination and
comparison of the tax assess
ments, and their report, which is
a voluminous one, is complete in
every detail. The amount for
which they find is based not up
on the actual cash value of the
and as fixed by the company
but upon the statutory require
ment for fixing values on real es
tate by assessors, which is one-
third cash value and two-thirds
on time. This value as fixed by
the referees raises the valuos, as
fixed by the company about eight
thousand dollars tn round num
bers. The report of the re
ferees show the great inequality
which exists in the assessments
in Lincoln county; in fact these
inequalities arc so great as to
prove astounding to those who
lave not heretofore examined
into th,c matter.
une county commissioners
instructed their attorneys to
draw a decree in accordance
with the findings of the referees,
and the amount found by the
latter will he paid by the com
pany as fcoon as tho proper steps
can be taken.
The payment of this vast sum
of money into the treasury of
Lincoln county will be a great
boon. .Nearly one-half of it wu
be apportioned to the school
districts to which it properly be
longs, thus giving the districts
needed money to conduct the
schoqls and put thorn in shape to
giye tho pupils greater and bet
ter educational facilities. ' It
will enable the county
treasurer to take up a large part
of the outstanding warrants
against the general and bridge
funds, In fact County Treasurer
Scharmann will, with the aid of
this money if promptly paid
be able to redeemed by the nrst
of next February every out
standing warrants against the
county. This means much: it
means that after that date
John bimth has a claim against
the county he can present it at a
meeting ot tlie county com in is
sioners who can at once allow
the claim and draw a warrant for
the amount and John Smith gets
his money at once, instead o

riremena' Ball.
The fourteenth annual ball of the
fire department given at the opera
louae Friday evening was not as
argely attended as the event dc-
erved. Yet there was a sufficient
number of 'dancers to comfortably
fill the floor and the scats of the
gallery were well occupied. The
grand inarch wan called about nine
o'clock, and led by Wtn. Lutzc and
lady, executed the customary fig-
urcs, about seventy couples taking
part in the march. There were
twenty-four dances Hon the pro
gram and they followed in quick
uccssion until midnight when an
ntermission for supper was taken.
The dancing was then renewed and
it was three o'clock when the linal
one was completed. The ball was
nicely conducted throughout and
reflected creditably upon the sev
eral committees having it in
charge. The quality of the music
received favorable mention from
the dancers.
