NEW SEWER SYSTEM FLOATS ON
TURBULENT SEAS.
CLAIMS AND COUNTERCLAIMS
Contractor Herrlck and the City Ad
ministration Each Had Trump Cards
and the Game Resulted In a Draw.
The "Rubber" Tonight.
( Krom Wednesday's Dnlly.j
The new sewer system floated on
urbulent sous at thu council meet-
ng last night , the special meeting of
he council at the city hall having
icon called for the purpose of pass-
ng on the acceptance of the new sys-
em completed last week by Contract-
> r O. P. Herrlck of Des Molnes , Iowa.
The acceptance .of the system was
Innlly passed over to a second meet-
ng of the council tonight , the compli
cations arising last evening defying
my hurried adjustment. About the
satisfactory condition of the sewer
system Itself there was no dispute
ast plight. Engineer Salmon's esti
mates placing the cost of the system
it $32,570.08 was also accepted as cor
rect by both Contractor Herrlck and
.he city council. Hero agreement de-
mrtcd and claim and counter claim
entered.
All Had Trumps to Play.
Both council and contractor came
to the mooting last night with several
cards up their sleeves. Though the
evening opened quietly enough both
Contractor Herrlck and the council
knew that several tricks stood to betaken
taken by some one.
The council had tested the three
miles of sewer mains the day before
and found the system In working or
der. There was no dispute over this.
The city engineer said that the sys
tem as completed had been built in
accordance with the contract. Both
sides passed.
Cost of Sewer.
Engineer Salmon reported the cost
of the sewer system to bo $ ! ! 2r > 70.08.
Of this amount Herrlck had boon paid
$21,090.73. Some $ -1-1 had been held
back by the old council. Another sum ,
$1,027.95 , represented five per cent
of the cost to bo retained by the city
for a year after acceptance. A bal
ance of $0,170.07 was owing the con
tractor according to the engineer's
Ilgures. Out of tills was of course to
come the $3,200 offered by the con
tractor as his share of the $3,800 dis
count involved in the sale of the
sewer bond issue. These figures were
accented.
Controversy Begins.
Action opened when councllmcn
suggested that money be retained to
cover the city's outlay lu raising the
water mains whore the water pipes
had disputed progress with the sewer
mains. Contractor Horrlck said the
cost was none of'his. Others said that
the expense amounting to about $300
would fall on the contractor. The con
tract was road and two Interpreta
tions flourished.
Constable Appears.
A diversion was created by the ap
pearance of a local constable to serve
notice on Contractor Horrlck on a
damage suit instituted in a local jus
tice court by a First street property
owner. Councilmen said money ought
o be reserved from the sewer pay
ment to cover any favorable verdict
that might be secured by damage
suits against the sewer contractor.
Herrlck Has Card.
Contractor Herrick , thinking it his
turn for a trick , dropped on the coun
cil table a bill for $502.90 r6present-
ffg'"ah additional claim for sewer con
struction. Engineer Salmon declared
he items represented to be covered
n the contract and not owing by the
city.
A Big Water Bill.
Next fluttered forth a water bill
against Contractor Herrick , Water
Commissioner Brummund presenting
: ho Iowa contractor with a bill for
$507.82 for city water used in flushing
the sewer and In settling the trenches.
The water commissioner explained that
; ie was in the water business for the
city , that the sewer people had asked
lilm for water and had been told that
lie had it to sell , that he sold it to
them at fifteen cents a thousand , that
they used wonderful amounts of the
fifteen cent fluid , requiring the con
stant exertion of Gust Grant nt the
pumping station and the use of much
coal , and finally that the water bill
was going to be collected because his
office was given to collecting bills duo
the city. Contractor Herrick took In
formal oath that the water bill against
him violated every sacred tradition
maintained in contractorvllle.
Herrlck Back at 'Em.
After the contractor had recuperat-
eod from the water bill he entered the
game again with the remark that ho
had about $700 In accrued bond Inter
est owing him from the city and that
he expected to get It. The council
said they were asked to nay accrued
Interest to Spltzer & Co. , the bond
firm , and tp the contractor at the same
time and on the same bonds.
Dig Up Ancient History.
The sewer dispute was then carried
back Into ancient history. Delving
Into council proceedings of a year ago
brought no now facts to light but the
historical research carried the stu
dents of the council chambers Into
happier fields. Herrlck recalled how
ho had agreed to take his payment In
low rate Interest bonds which ho hac
afterwards discounted at $3,200 , how
ho had agreed to take the bonds wltl
six months accrued Interest. Ono
councilman recalled how Horrick's
early absence from the scene of want
ed action had occasioned an outburst
of poetry In a paper , ono verso be
ginning , "O. P , llerrlok , whom art
thouV" Affected either by the poetry
or the history , Mr , Herrlck offered to
refer Iho points In dispute to some
Impartial referee.
Meet Again Tonight.
Kauffman brought the meeting to
leflnlto action by moving that , the
mayor , the city attorney. Iho city
oterk , the city engineer and Contractor
Herrlck be named as n committee to
confer on the several polnttt to bring
Iho questions to a focus and to report
to n council meeting tonight ,
Before adjournment was taken to K
o'clock tonight , a saloon license had
boon granted to W. A. Koohn at Fifth
street and Norfolk avenue.
Counellmen Dogncr , Doltui , Oarvln ,
llaaso , Kauffman , Spellman and Ditch-
holz were present.

The Mate's examination barely qual
iflcd him , bemuse ho had a ceiialn
amount of prejudice against labor

to the Western Federation of Miners
and against Eoclallbin. At several
points of the examination by the de
fense there were indications that
Teeter's answers would glvo cause for
challenge , but he crossed all the thin
Ice down to the question of the lei
ters of President Roosevelt. In an
swer to a question from 1C. F. Richard
son , he said that he Indorsed the let

ho pi honor was characterized as an
indcslrablo citizen. Mr. Richardson
snapped a question about the c/ar of

The court sustained the challenge
of the defense , and Mr. Teeter walked

Interest In Roadsters.
In the gent lemon's roadster race ,
whore local rivalry of a healthy sort
was In evidence , j. W. Gibson's "Ilaby"
showed strong qualities at the finish ,
winning the second and third heats
and the race. Local driving horses
displayed speed In racing harness and
the Interest of the Norfolk people at
( ho track yesterday was strongly cen
tered on the varying fortunes of the
horses of the city as they sped around
the circle.
The three harness events out on the
track yesterday , comprising an after
noon racing matinee of merit , marked
the opening of the season's activity
at the track of the Norfolk driving
club. Next month will se circuit rac
ing horses throughout north Nebraska
put through their racing gaits some
two times a week preparatory to the
opening of the North Nebraska Short
Shipment Haclng circuit In Norfolk on
July 31 , for a throe day racing meet.
There is every Indication , race fol
lowers say , that the program offered
by the North Nebraska circuit this
summer will be even better than the
ace moots of last year. At the Nor-
'oik track Al Marks has seven horses
n training. Some of them are fast
) iies that will win their share of heats
n north Nebraska this summer. Oth
er horses , fast stoppers on the track ,
are kept by local men In the stables
