OTHER ITEMS FROM THE COURTS How tlie Action of tlio Council AtTeotn the Policemen and Klro De part inont Tlio Shoot ing Hcrnpe. Tlio Courts. STA.TKS. In the United Stntca district court yesterday morning Judge Untidy an nounced bis concurrence In tlio opin ion of tlio circuit court in tlio ctiso of tlio Union Pacific railroad com pany vs. Douglns county , nn net of eject ment , involving ri lit of way through school lands throughout the atutu. Tlio opinion , which Is of vast interest all along the line of the railroad , is herewith at tached : In the Circuit Court of tlio United Status for the District of Nebraska. Tlie question pa-sen ted by tlio demurrer to the answer Is this : Was tlio Union 1'acllic grant ot tlie rl lit of way opuratlvn upon flections 10 ami 30 , tlio sections granted for Bdiool purposes to tlio state of Nebraska. Jn ISM tfui organic act do U.S. Stat. 2S.J ) crc.it I n K Urn territory of Nebraska , In which , by section 10 it Is provided "T hut when the lands within said territory shall bo surveyed under the direction of tlio government of tlie UnltM States preparatory to bringini ; tlio Hamo into market , sections numbers 10 aiut ! i In each township in said territory shall bo and are hereby reserved tor the piiuiosd of being applied to schools in Said tenitory and In the state and teirltorius iierealter to bo erected out ot tint same. " Tlio Union Tacitus Hallroad company's art passed July 1 , 1WU (13 ( , U. S. Stat. at larKo ) provided In section ! 4 "That ttin l nt of way through tli public lands bo and tlio Batno Is hereby granted to Mild company for the construction of said railroad , " etc. Tin-so arc the only b'jctioim that uro material to tills controveisy. Tliu grant of the Union Pacltio vras later than tlio ret > er\atlon for bcliool pur poses. lint tlio power of congress over lands which tlio fco lias not already passed and rested is unquestioned. Fribble vs. Whltnev , U , Wallace lb7 , In which case tlio supreme court held that until the title ot the tiro- em ptor had actually rested , tlio power of con gress , wnssuproiiie. In the case of Minnesota vs. Ijarlielder tliu bamo doUriuu was applied in respect to school bcctlons. Tlio power of conurcss then being beyond dispute , the single question is as to the intent - tent , and hnro 1 am met with tlio proposition that the term public lands lias become , by bet- tied construction dtscrintlvo of tlioso lands only \\Iilcli are in no manner reserved for any purpose. Tlio loading case cited in support ol this Is WIIcox vs Jackson , 13 1'ctors , 4U7 , in which is found this language : "Hut we go further , and say that whereso ever a tract of land lias once boon loc.illy ap propriated to any purpose , trom that moment the land thus appropriated becomes separ ated ft om tlio mass of public lands , and that 110 subsequent law or proclamation or sale would bo construed to embrace it , or to op erate upon it , although no reservation weio made of It. " This language , which is very broad , must bo construed In reference- the facts ot the case , amltlierult appeared that land liad been icsitrved for military purposes , and it was held that a subsequent act for the sale of lauds in that territory did not opeiato upon this part.cu- lar reserved tract. This only shows that when land has been reserved , congress will not be presumed to have- intended a disposi tion ot it any other way unless the intent Is clearly expressed. Hut that does not meet the question in this case , for the act of con gress of July 1 , lbC3 , does not pin port to grant the fee. but only right of way. The reservation is not destroyed , but only a limited use placed upon a narrow strip. Now , that congress meant that that right of way should bo through all lands over which It had control , is , 1 thin ! : , obvious for several reasons. I notice the principal ; lust , In the land erant made by this act , congress made specific exceptions of lands to which any pre-emption , homestead or other claim had attached , while the grant ot the tlght-of- way is absolute and without exception. This distinction Is recognized in tlio case of the Knllroad Company vs. Ualdwtn , 11X1 U. S. 420. in which after noticing the limitations and exceptions upon the land grant , the court adds these words : "Hut the grant of the right-of-way by the sixth sections con tains no reservations or exceptions , it Is a present absolute grant subject to no condi tions except those necessarily implied , such as that the road sball be constructed and used for the purposes designed. Nor Is there anything in the policy of the government with respect to the public lands which would call for any qualifi cation of the terms. Thosa lands would not bo the less valuable for settlement by a road running through them : on the contrary their value would bo itreatly enhanced thereby. " See also case of Railroad company vs the United States , m T. S. 723 , were the same distinction between a land grant and a cram ot right of wavlsrecoenlzed. Further , I observed that the Union I'aciiie railroad act contemplated a speedy construction of the road. The state of Nebraska was not then admitted to the union and there was no cer tainty when It would be. It is a matter of public history that a large part of the western portion of the then territory was uusurvejed ; no one could say In advance where the six teenth and thirty-sixth sections would lie. Can it be possible that congress contemplating the speedy construction of the road , also contemplated that if after construction it should bo found by tuivey that the line constructed ran through the sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections , Its i Iglit of way should cease and be deemed a tres passer thereon. Again , no provision is ma'Io ' for condemning tlio right of way over school sections , nor Is It easily to be perceived how , under tlie statutes then in force , proceed I tics could be had for such condemnation. Still again , this right of way through school sec tions has been accented without challenge for twenty years. This Indicates the general understanding and Is slctiiicent. These con siderations aiiong others lead me to the con clusion beyond any doubt. CongresB In tended by this act of Julv 1 , 1 G2 , to crant a rUlit ot way through those lands , which by survey should bo found to bo sixteen and thirty-six , the school sections which It in tended to irlvn to the tuturo state of Ne braska. Ttiodomuier to the answer will bo sustained. The foregoing is the opinion of Circuit Jttdgo Drew or , in which the United States district court fully concurs. ottoss' CASK. Peter Gross nnd his son , James , wore nrruigncd Jjeforo Judge Ihimiy charged with subornation of perjury , and , plead ing not guilty , worn rotnnndod to jail until this afternoon , when the day of trial will bo fixed. This is the case iu which the Union 1'acllio railroad is coin- plnmnnt , uml which grow out of a suit for damages whioh Peter Gross insti- uted against the railroad company for $3,000 , claimed to have been sus tained by reason of the death of plain- tilV's son , Michael , alleged to have boon caused by the ucgliccnco and brutality of certain attaches of said company. It scums that some tiiv.i last fall young ( iross WHS stealing a rldo on top of n freight car , and tailing oR'ucnr the cross ing of liolloruo , was run over and killed. The jury brought in a verdict in favor of the railroad company , and from the dia- inotrlo contrariety ot tlio evidence ad duced pro and con , it was obvious to the court that perjury hud been committed either upon one side or the other , and the judge instructed the grand jury to investigate the matter. ' 1 hey did so , returning true bills of indictment against 1'otcr Gross mid his son James for subornation of per jury , and three of ( iross' witnesses , Theodore Caston and wife and brother. for i erjury. The Castoiw nil pleaded guilty without trial , nnd wore held as witnesses , but the Gross * forfeited their bond and ilod , and up to within a few weeks managed to keep their whereabouts pretty thoroughly under the roso. The Union Paolllo , however - over , has boon unrelenting 111 its search for the fugitives , and on Wednns- day last they were located and arrested by Detective Fotra in Cleveland , O , mid brought here in charge of Deputy Marshal Wyman , of tnat city , Friday , In the Gross suit for damages James Gross and the Castous swore that thny law QUO ol tbo Union X'acilio brnkouien kick Michael off of the freight car , and that ho foil be neath ttio wheels nnd was killed , but the dofcnso conclusively proved this to bo totally fntao ; that Michael fall from the car , nnd had not even been spoken to by nuy attache of the road. IMbTIUCT. Kdward Rosewater yesterday afternoon filed n petition In this court to restrain the council from awarding the contract for city advertising to the Omaha Republican as fraudulently ilono at the last meeting of the council. The grounds set forth in the petition uro tli.it the notice for bids was for a terra of one year , while the con tract wnfi not in conformity with the ad vertisement ; that the Omaha Republican company tins no paper in this city with a circulation of 2,000 as required by law ; the contract was nwurdcd by fraud ; that in awarding It the yeas nnd nays were not called or recorded , mid that If upon certain representations the Hr.K's bid hud not boon withdrawn , the latter would huve been the lowest. Judge GroiT granted a temporary in- junction.and the case will be hoard on the 8th lust. Papers were served on ttho council last night. Heforo Judge GrolT , Saturday , the case of PickoiiH vs the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Vnllcv railroad , was called and dismissed. junnn iiF.r.st.EV. Judge Ilolsloy rendered an important decision In a case ulleetiiig travellers. It w.is that of Jesse l ewe vs the Pullman Car conipony. The former rode In a caret ot the Pullmans on tno Missouri Piicilio to Omaha , and sullered the loss of nn overcoat. Ho brought suit to recover the value of the coat on the ground that it had been stolen. The opinion in brlct is that the Pullman company could not beheld held responsible on the ground of com mon carriers nor yet as inn keepers. Furthermore , the court held that the company had used due diligence in pro tecting the plaintiff's property and could not , therefore , bo held responsible for the amount claimed. J. McDonnell. F.

The strike among the bricklayers' and plasterers' tenders , as it nt present stands , promises to impede building operations In the city to no inconsldera- blo extent. The union men to the num ber of COO and upwards remain firm by their demand , nnd not one of them wont to work yesterday morning. It is under stood that the bricklayers' and plasterers' unions are In sympathy with the strikers , and will support them In their efforts to secure the wages asked. There was a nijtrked absence of active work on the buildings in course of ercctiou yesterday morning. Tlio 1'alntcrs. The Fourth of July has come and gone , but still tlio painters' ( lillbronces remain unsettled. In the meantime the strikers are receiving aid from thy other unions. Tlio Cnrpontcrs. The wages of the men have been fixed by agreement with the masters at $2.75 per any of nine hours , except Saturday , when tno men will work eight hours and receive a full day's pay. Liberty is re served to the masters to grade the men according to their abilities. This ar- rancemcnt satisfactory to the large majority of the carpenters , but a few who have been receiving higher wages do not feel themselves much bcneiitted.

Starving Kir emeu and Policemen. There has been a great deal said on the streets about the manner in which the council is to bo avenged upon the police and fire commission , because of the re tention by the latter in oflico of Mr. Scavey. At present it looks as if the method to bo employed is that of not merely depriving Mr. Soavey of his salary but also all the members in both the Uro and police departments. At the meeting of the council , two weeks ago , at the suggestion of Comptroller Good rich , a resolution was introduced trans- taring from the general fund to that of the police and Uro fund , $3,500.1,000 of this amount was intended for the wages of the fire and $4,500 for the wages of the police department. At the lest meeting of the council , however , another resolution was introduced by which that $8,000 was rotransfcrred to the general fund. Now , while some of the city employes may bo paid out of the general fund , the firemen and policemen cannot bo paid out of any fund save that devoted to themselves. Those two Important arms of the city's protection must , therefore , go without pay for the month of June , until some means be deVised - Vised to get money for them. As the amount of a fund once transferred to another cannot bo re-transforred , the question of issuing warrants against the police ami tire funds has been suggested , but it is doubtful If it will be declared le gal. This is certainly a novel method for a council to adopt in the interest of elliciency and justice.to two bravo suts of men. GKAND KXCUUsToN TO CHICAGO. $14.SO For tlie Round Trip.

The Htory of tliu Shooter , the Shot and the Woman In the Caio , Billy Nugent , the man who was shot and dangerously wounded down onFour- teenth street at an early hour yesterday morning , by Jack Klley , the boss 'ostlor at Jim Stevenson's stables , Tenth and Harnoy , is resting easy at h's ' homo on Davenport , between Ninth and Tenth street ? . Ills physician , Dr. Hoffman , had just been there , and expressed a be lief in Nugcnt's recovery. The ball en tered at the base of the right jaw ; but persistent probing failed to locate its place of lodgment and the physician is of the opinion that it en mo out m his mouth and that ho swallowed it. A HEE icporter saw Klloy in his cell at the Central station this morning , und in reply to 11 query as to how the ulliiir hap pened , ho said : "i loft the stable a little after 1 ? ; walked to a crib down on Fourteenth street , and Myrtle Hates nnd me took a walk.Vo went up Fourteenth to the Live and Lot Live restaurant , got supper , and started back down Fourteenth.

"Como off there , you ! What are you doing out this time of night with that ytl "Then they drove on , but pulled up ngain just as wo reached the door of Myrtle's house , and called out : ' 'Hero you don't you know us ? " "I said I did not , then they said 'Como out nnd take u look ut us and you can find otit.'tt "i stopped out and down off of the pave ment up to the buggy , when Nucent , without warning , smashed mo across the face with the butt of the whip , and at the same time- , Larry Casey , the man with him , drew a knife. 1 made n grab for Casey , and Nugent was about to lilt mo again , when 1 jerked my gun from my hip pocket and struck him over tho.head vith it.

They immediately drove off ind I wont up stairs to bed nnd in about an hour the cons came and at rested mo. " The woman Mates related substantially ho same story , only locating the buggv omo distance to the north of the house" , while Kiley had it immediately in front of the door. Ntuentsaid "he and Casey had been ou kylarking. und about 12 o'clock Jasey said , What do you say to litching up and taking a drive down to L'entli street. " I said it was a go , and wo lid so. Wo saw Kiley and this woman standing on tlio corner of Jackson and 1 lolered at him. I know him , you know , ind was simply guying him and the vomnn. Ho said' "you fellers is too matt , and I guess I'll just take a shot at ou. " Ho then pulled his revolver and hot out into the street. I said , "A man votild live a long while if he waited till you shot him , Jack you wouldn't shoot anybody. " "I wouldn't ' , would If" says he , and with that he just sort o' slans mo with his gun and shot me here in the neck. " "Then he struck 3-011 with the gun ? " "Yes , that is ho stuck it or slapped it ight up agin my face and pulled. " "Then what did you doJ" "Why , wo drove up to tlie station.

Yesterday morning the filling in the sewer trench on Twenty-fourth und Char les streets fell down and allowed the two- mont for u distance of several foot to drop down. The board of public works has been notified. Spitzbart , the man who purchased the old fence of Jefferson square , was or dered to remove the sixmo from the ground to-day. P. Fox & Co. have sent to the board the sixth monthly estimate for the construc tion ot the South Omului branch of the North Omaha sewer , amounting to $2.141.70. J. Ry.in & Co , sent in their fourth monthly estimate for the grading of Leavenwortti street between Sixteenth nnd Twenty-sixth streets , to the amount of $3GC5.0S. Thomas Ilnmlin , contractor , sent to the board a number of bills for labor in taking up sidewalks on the line of streets on which ho is fulfilling contracts , amounting to thirty-one dollars. These were O. Kd. by Inspector Green , but tlio board have refused to recognize the bills because its members believe that Ham- lln's duty , in the absence of any clause to the contrary in his contract , is to remove nt his own expense whatever obstructions may bo found in his way. The bill of C. E. lanning & Co. . for swooping the streets during the month of Juno was pro- eonted to the board. It shows that 820,000 square yards were covered at a cost , of $2,013.18 The bill was ordered paid. The pay for Inspectors Dennis , Cnlla ban. mrman , Hume , Grcono , Schlecht , I'hruno , Sloter , Hoyd , Benin , Poland , Vnulim , Murphy Dolany and O'Donovan for June , was ordered dored presented to the council. It amounts to $1,200,05 , Some of tlioso mon , however , have not worked ull the month. J. E. Riley made a demand upon the board of public works for the reserve guarantee of $8,507.30 for the building of the Jones street sewer , and also for $050.77 , a similar fund in the building of the sewer in district number 24.
