TLo Dotal of Stop Deprtivllr
In yoalcrday morning'j BKK was
given the outlinu of the horrible
chfino ? made against .x man named
John Burnell , who came hero lost
week from Lincoln , Neb. IJurnoll un
soolng hin little daughter bcn'B ' inlet-
viewed by the pollco disappeared suddenly -
donly , but yontorday ho returned , and
onislting the room , which ho and
iii daughter and the woman had boon
ccupying , waa promptly arrested and
edged In j ill on a chnrc o of incest.
The ontlino of the case aa given
estorday was horrible enough , but
ho details show a dogrco of doprav-
ty which la dimply cstonJthing , and
n many rjsnccts unfit for publication.
The lit'tlo girl on biing in-
oivlowcd by Tun BKB ro-

) ocn guilty of compelling her ro yisld
ii carnal dcnlros. She eays ho has
hua treated her Binco flhu could ro-
nombtr , although aho is now only 13.
lor mother , knowing the facts , ob-
eoted , but iu vain , and it was on
tcoount of this that her mother left
lor father. She eald tharo wore nine
children in the family , only two of
whom were now with her mother , the
othcrn living out. When her mother
oft her father oho put her out in n
'amily to live with until rtho was 18.
bast Wednesday her iathtr came to
whore she waa living and told her
that her mother was dead , and thus
not her away , telling her ho was going
to tuko her to Lincoln , , whcro her
mother had died. She atirlod with
dor father on the tram , accompinii d
by the young woman , named Mr rlha
Flowora , whom she had known In
Lincoln. On lh train eho askul
eomcono if they wcro going toward
Lincoln , aud learned , to her surprise ,
that they were | ' , oii > ! towaid Omaha.
Finding that her fmher had deoaivisd
her , her heart was nearly broken , and
she feared all aorta of dangero ,
an her father had threatened
her tht > t if the over told ou
him ho would take her out in the
woods and kill her. On reaching
Omaha the rutin. woman and child
proceeded to a Tenth otreot hotel ,
where the man rei/lstored himself an
B. Stewart , of Lincoln. The caao at
tracted the attention of a Bill repor
ter , and in last Thursday morning's
issue appeared & description of the tf
fjiir as "A Curious Owe , " to the mjn
tcry of which there appaarcd no aolu-
tiot ) .
The little girl tayu that they came
hero the Dime day that the artiolo ap
peared in THE BKK about her crying
in the drools. Her father , heraoll
and the woman took n room on Bry
ant ntreot , nnd her father bought a
bcdetead aud aomo little v.rticlca ( o ;
the room. They have been living
there sinew , and ai i ijht all
three occupied the eamo bed , and thai
hnro , ? .a boforp , ho abused her In t
manner meriting for him , if convicted ]
t'c mset duo punishment.
The young woman , ou being quca-
tloned , snid that her name was Murtha
Flowers and hur RRO twenly-ihrep.
Ilor parents llvu in Lincoln , and she
there became acquninlod with Barcoll
and accompanied him to this city under -
dor the promise that by the 1st oi
February ho would have a divorce
from his wife and would then marry
her. She said aho did nnt know how
mean the man win nnlil after nhc got
here , and tlion found how ho waa uot-
( toward his little daughter.
On lindi'ig thin out r.ho began plan-

There is an effort being made to

oao it is proposed to use some rr.ao-
dam , Nowthis ! ( macadam ia to bo

THE ASSESSOR'S WORK.
tt Ia to no Done Dlflerontly for the
CoruInK Tear Tbe Chances
lor n Squabble.
The city caancil has been for acme
time wrootliog with the question of
OBJOBtors. The law provide * that the
ancrnsors mu.'t bo chosen b-tfore the
firot ot January , aud thu * , thcoutotl
inny divide the city into I'iMiictj acd
elect nn AUesaor for each , provided
thirty d.y ' no'.ics ia giro i before
election. S rm time oio ; tl o cuui/c / 1
chc.sy 03 nauE3 - > r C E. Stone , who has
served tafori ) in that oliio , and
served wcl1 , bnt the ptivilegi wan re
served ot choosing the otharo in addi
tion if the cuntc'l deemed best. Sit.co
then the aldermen have been fLun
doringbiut in their opinion as to
whether another ono or moro shall bo
choton. The citizens seemed to fed
a strange lack of interest iu so impor
tant a matter , and the aldermen
gained little information as to their
wishes. After several edjournod
meetings , the council last Monday
night took definite action. There
wcro only four present , Aldcrmon
Gouldon , Shugarr , Sledontopf and
Wood. The proa und cons were
pretty fully discussed , and it was
finally decided to elect one morj
assessor , \V. P. Wightman being
chosen unanimously for that position.
The time has psaiod for the couno 1
to divide into districts , so that the
two assessors will have to arrange
that matter between themselves. If
they can do that amicably , well and
goad , bnt if not it is difficult to BOO
how differences between them can bo
decided. In regard to a chrk , Mr.
Stone wanted the council to suggest
the name of some one whom ho shall
employ , so an to save him the respon
sibility and annoyance of choos
ing from many applicants. The
council at the name meeting agreed on
, ho name of Charlca GImoro ! aa clerk.
Mr. Wightuun's wlshea as to the
matter could not bo learned , as ho had
not had an opportunity to oven pass
upon the question as to whether ho
would accept or not the petition of
aaanuor. It is to In presumed that
the two assessors will amicably agree
on all details of the work , but if they
should chance not to , there are liab'.o
to arise como perplexing quostionu , at
they have co-current jurisdiction and
co nrdiuate powers.
Ono of the chief reasons fur having
two assessor ] instead of one is tin I
the work can bo done moro thorough
ly nnd moro oxpeditioubly , and it is
hoped that the books will bo ready to
bo turned in by the firct of April
promptly , and the usual delay avoid
ed. All the realty , as well na persons !
prcporly , is to b assessed this year ,
making the work more arduous , and
it in urged by these favoring two
nssoesora that the coat will also bo
leos than for oun. Time will ohow
whether this procedure is a wise one
or not.
There are some double expressed a1
to whether the council has the righ
to elect two usaesRord without dividing
Into district ? , and it is conceded tha
It is too late to district. It ia urged
that two assessors fur one district is
au unheard of thing , unless ono la .11
assistant. On the other hund it ia
claimed that the law gives the osunci
the right to elect as high as three
assessors , aud that under the circuits
atancen they must divide the distric
amicably among themselves.
The chief fear cxpmscd is that the
conccil will fall into some error
which will give those who object to
paying their taxes u technical loop
hole through which to crawl out. I
ia understood that the a ncaincntB
next year will bo higher than before
and there will consequently bo man
kicking , ar.d hence the necmity o
extreme care and caution in proceed
ings.

A CITY \VIIHDUr A MAYOR
Alderman ShURnrt IB batli fld That
aa President of trie Council Ho
la not Mayor Pro Teui.
During tin absence of Mayor Bow-
nan , who is spondmga few weeks in
he cast , Aldunnui Shugart has been
ervlm ? na prenldemt pro tc-m of the
ouncil. Thl bicly allowed a nnm-
er of bills , .v d this naturally cftiiiod
ho question to Mho who fchould sljn
ho warrants for the mine , aa the
nayor of counu oould not do so on
ccoant of hit absence. Alderman
ihtj nrt had ionio doubts about
whether ho Imd the authority to sign
warrants as temporary prv&idcnt uf
ho council. After consulting with
ho city attorney and other laVjor ? ,
Mr. Shugutt c 'ucludcd tha : ho hai not
ho poifer to sign warran'a , andhcnco
: ho3athco bills liavn been audited
nnst await the mayor's return. Mr.
Shugurt hts a'oo decided from his in-
vestigalion that ho has not any of the
> owcra of major , and hoaco the city
B virtually without a rrmyor , and in
cas1 rf vacancy of the otfieo by death
or ( liability tha city would bo left in
A queer quandary If there ia eush a
lifjot * s this in the city organization
t should certainly bo remedied at
once , for there is no knowing how
aoon there may bo some unforeseen
occurrence which would require the
lowers of a mayor. Even in the pres
ent sitemtum there ia an amazing in
convenience to thoio who have their
bills audited but can got no warrants
ignod.

Yesterday morniua the Chicgj &
Northwestern train vnvi somewhat behind -
hind time in arriving here , the ur.czo
being an uccldent ne-ar Maple I'ivtir
Junction. A fr icht train ww pulling
into that place just aiieud of , tbo pna-
sougcr train , and tha ! o % being ao
thick that even lifthls could be aoen
tut u very short distance , the pacoen
ger engine ran into the freight train.
The c booee , engine and lender were
damaged ncmawSat but fortunately no
ono was hurt. Some dol.iy waa ciusod
by the necessary clearing away of the
wreck before the trivin could proceed.
