Charles E. Burch of this city has
started suit in the district court of
this county against the Northwest
railroad claiming $800 damages which
he alleges to have incurred by the
railroad company’s negligence in ship
ping two cars, or 110 head, of stock
cattle from South Omaha to O’Neill a
year ago. Four hundred of this
amount he claims is due him on ac
count of the railroad delivering the
cattle twenty hours behind time and
the other four hundred Is for damages
to the cattle from rough usage during
shipment. Three head of cattle, the
petition alleges, died in the shipment.
Mr. Burch acts as his own attorney in
the case and drew up his own petition
Now that the sewersystem is in, the
next thing needed in the evolution
from filth and contagion, is some sys
tem to handle and dispose of garbage
regularly and systematically The ash
piles and rubbish heaps around town
form an annoying nuisance. If peo
ple were careful to dump such things
in less conspicious places than public
streets it would not be so bad, but the
heaps of ashes and cinders strung
from the sidewalk to the middle of the
street in front of many houses as well
as upon the business streets makes a
disorderly looking town. Each house
and business place should be supplied
with covered garbage cans in which to
deposit ashes and other refuse matter
and some one employed to cart the
same to the dumping grounds.
At an executive session of the House

regular—if somewhat unusual—man
ner. Mayor Biglin has been casting
about for the right sort of man for the
place since the resignation of Judge
McUafferty and yesterday he called to
his aid the scale office lords who
promptly Dominated and elected Mr.
Gallagher. The election was confirm
ed by the mayor and the appointment
followed. Hats off to Judge Gallagh
er.

pay over. There has been no complant
here as to his honesty and those with
whom he has dealt say he has paid his

Supposing be had sold his farm,
Lawrence Barrett had a public sale
about a month ago and disposed of his

preparations to leave the farm. In
stead of the sale of the farm being
consumnated, the matter was settled
by a fistic encounter Tuesday. The
purchaser deposited $200 when the
bargain was made but failed to fultill
the contract by paying over the bal
ance and take the place, although for
feiting the $200, which did not com
pensate Mr. Barrett for his trouble
and expense in selling off everything
and the only satisfaction he could get
out of the gentleman was what phys
ical punishment he saw tit to admin
ister. The deal has caused Mr. Bar
rett no small amount of trouble and
expense as if he farms this season he
will have to buy a new outfit of ma
chinery and stock.
