That Veto.
The following is a copy of thi
Mayor's message vetoing the "Or
dinauce abolibbingthe office o
Captain of Police , " and which wa
carried over the veto.
MAYOR'S OFFICE , )
OMAHA , August 11,1874. J
To the City Council :
The Ordinance entitled "An Or
dinance repealing Ordinance No
253 , " I herewith return to you with
out my approval of the same. Sev
eral of the reasons why I so returi
it appear in the message I sent t
you when I returned the ordlnanc
providing for the detailing of a Sei
geant of Police , and abolishing th
office of Captain of Police. To th
same reasons I again call your al
tention , and beg to urge tnem as a
this time possessing increased force
SVhile the ordinance herewith re
turned does not seek upon its fac
to create the office of Sergeant (
Police , as did the one just referre
to , but purports simply to abolis
the office of Police Captain. Still i
has , to my mind , no merit whai
ever. Notwithstanding , it is osten
sibly sustained upon the groua
that it will reduce the expenses (
the police force.
The fact is , our police force is to
small already , and this is becomin
every day more and more apparen
In some portions of the city wher
a large and increasing trade is don
and traffic is busy till late eveinin
hours ; as for instance , on nort
Sixteenth street , and in other placi
where the better class of our cit
residences ore located , and whei
garrotings and robberies during tli
last few months have been mo1
frequent , not a single policeman
to be found after midnight , for tl
simple and sufficient reason that B
one can be spared from the fore
elsewhere needed. Shall I add tl
well Known fact , that on more tha
one occasion when the City Counc
has this summer held its session ti
midnight , that some 01 its office :
have considered the walk of a mite
to their home at that time of tl
night so dangarous that they hu :
remainpd | n the centre of the oil
all night.
Did not public policy prohibit
I could state other and more star
ling facts than these , all tending 1
show that our present police force
too small. Again , complaint
made that in those portions of tl
citv for which details are made ;
nighl : , , ' toe .detailed men an- not i
their posts wfie'h'ngedpcj rn < jt. |
The responsibility foi .ui > iua
tention to duty , can pcarcely I
said to rest upon the City Marsha
Ho has such constant and arduoi
labor'to p.erforf during the day th :
he requires and fihouiu hjjyp tl
night for rest.
The very duty then most nceded-
that which looks after the mei
and takes care that they are coi
subtly itf fheir posts , at night e
peciaflV ) and 3rS'r $ e alert to di
tect crime , nnd arresflhe offpnflgr
is that which should be perform *
by the Captain of Police , whic
office thisordinance seeks to abollsl
2 > To gergeant , no merely detnilc
policeman , can successfully perfori
' '
this duty. Is one out'a rjrKuJftrly aj
'
pointed officer a. Captain ca
quietly direct or control } isue
cases. Such is human nature thi
one selected from the ranks will
out authority , save that which pa
tiality seeks temporarily to cortfe
cannot succeed as an ovprspcr pf h
fellows , OF a pommander of h ,
peers. True meij , such as ar Pr (
per to be selected for policemen , ai
always ready and willin
to obey , and be guic
ed by those upon whoi
authority had been properly coi :
ferred upon those duly commi :
sioned. Still the best of men re\ti.
at the eflrcfsp of authority ov (
them by those whom inpch favorii
ism has "dressed in a little brjef ai
thofity. "
Again the City Marshal asks for
captAJn. He states to you in ope
Council that } je jjppds some one t
attend to the duties of that ofl'ipt
True , he says he can detail som
one to do that duty , but then , as w
have seen , such detail will not bej
do that work. .
Notwithstanding we have no
now a sufficient police force , | i
numbers , it would , in my opinion
be far better , if the expenses c
police must be reduced , to make th
force eleven and a captain , rathe
than twelve without a captain ,
Other reasons , and it may b
more potent ones than 1 hav
named , coujc } be urged against thi
ordinance , but these Jfc j-fems to m <
are enough to convince any wpjl
wisher of Omaha , every good cltj
zen that thp pojjcyof abolishjng th <
office of Captain of Pojjce } s a hazardous
deus one.
In closing , I desire to call your at
tion , especially , to the provisions o
Section 88 of the city charter. I
reads as follows :
"The Marshal shall have the su
pervision and control of the Poljci
force of the city , and in that con
nection shall bo subject only to th <
orders of the Mayor , and all order ;
of the Mayor relating to the direc
tion of the direction of the Pollci
force , shall be given through th <
Marshal , or in his absence , the offi
cer in charge of the Police force. "
This section Is explicit nnd poiri'
ted. It provides that all orders o ;
the Mayor in the absence of the
Marshal shall be given through thi
officer in charge of the Police force.
No detailed man is an officer in the
proper meaning of that terra , noi
could he be safely recognized and
entrusted as sueh at the hands oi
the Mayor. There is but one plan
contemplated in , or provided for , by
the City Charter , upon whlbli to or
ganize the Police force , and that is
cleaaly enough seen to be , an organ *
ization with a Captain properly ap
pointed by the Mayor and Council.

SKINNED ALIVE.
Terrible Butchery by the Paw

The House of a Homesteader En
tered , His Wife Beaten ,
and He Brutally
* Murdered.
Bohemians entered West
Point on Monday morning , in great
haste. They being unable to speak
English , they found an interpreter
to whom they tolel the following
story , [ for which we arc indebted tc
Sheriff Turner ] :
A parry of Indians and squaws
camped near a homesteaders home
in Colfax county , ami scut theii
squaws to the house to procure some
food. The squaws entered the
house and raii'-ackcel it for all thej
could get. The wife of the home
steader being home , of course ,
objecteel to having all theii
food taken away , whereupon
the squaws turned upon
the woman and beat her over 'the
head. Her cries were heard by hei
husbandwho hastened to his house ,
and on seeing his wife and hearing
her cries from suffering he took his ;
shotgun and shot one of the squaws.
The other squaws reported this to the
Indians. They returned to the Bo
hemian's house , ( twelvein number ]
which they entered , and put the
man through a terrible torture. They
skinned him and cut his hands oil' ,
and then took his heart out. All
this is supposed to have been done
in tlie presence of his wife , who was
suffering from the injuries that the
devils had inflicted her with.
The scene of this terrible murder
was about sixteen miles from West
Point in one corner of Colfax coun
ty , ami only live miles from the
spot wherd q. ftirftec ivfis LJllea
while plowing a few years age > by

the streets in a drunken condition ,
and lodged in jail. When he sober
ed off , he discovered that all his
mousy v-as gone. He claims to
have hael three drafts , amounting
in all to seven hundred dollars ,
( vhich he got cashed at Council
Bluffs , bringing the money Avith
him to Oraalm.
The last ho recollects of having
it , was while he was spreeing it at
Weymuller's brewery. He either
lost the money , or was robbed. He
felt terribly over liis misfortune.
The police arc endeavoring to re
cover the money for him. There
is some possibility that some one of
his friends took the money away
from him for safp Ijeepjng till he
shoulel get sober.
