8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ; tTHUJRSDAY. SEPTEMBER 29 , 1887.
A VERY QUEER PROCEEDING ,
The Mayor and Council of Lincoln to be
Brought to Court in Omaha ,
8O ORDERED BY THE U. S. COURT.
A Lawyer Given Illi Opinion lie-

Federal Interference.
Tuesday , Deputy United States Mar
ehal Allen went to Lincoln to servo mi
injunction from the United States court
upon the city council of Lincolnrestrain
ing it from further action of investiga
tion into the charges of dishonesty which
have been martu mjalnst Pollcu-judiro
Parsons of that city.
The injunction was served , and as a
consequence the trial was brought to n
close , and everybody who had not been
prepared for the interference of the
United States court wore surprised at the
new turn nfl'alrs had taken , especially so
when the result will be the bringing of
the Lincoln mayor and council to
this city on November 7 to answer
in the case brought against them by
Judge Paroons. The latter , as has been
iitatcd , is police judge of Lincoln. He has
been charged with misappropriating
public funds , a quantity of evidence sus
taining the charges having been dis
covered by a committed of the council.
Yesterday evening this testimony was to
have been rend before the councilbut the
injunction served in the afternoon pre
vented the reading from taking place ,
because it exprp sly enjoined the body
from proceeding further with the charges ,
from taking a vote upon the subject ,
from declaring vacant Parsons' position ,
and from appointing any person to suc
ceed him.
The ground upon which an in
junction from the United States
court was received , in absonca of the
petition , it is thought , is the fact that the
act under which Parsons Is brought to
trial was passed after the commission of
the crime now alleged against that man.
Notwishstanding. the interference of the
supreme court in the matter has been
Bcverely criticised. It was unexpected ,
and to-dav , even in this city , has been a
subject of general consideration among
attorneys in tins city.
A loading lawyer , speaking on the
subject , yesterday waul :
"If it has comu to this , that the federal
courts propose to interfere and regulate
the municipal governments of the states ,
. and restrain them from the right to
i inquire into the conduct of their ollicers ,
:
then the sooner wo commence agitating
the question of homo rule in America the
better will it be for us. I do not wish to
bo understood ai expressing an opinion
as to the guiU or innocence of Judge
Parsons , for as yet 1 am not prepared to
say , not having heard the testimony.
What the results will be upon a full hear
ing of the evidence no ono as yet can tell ,
but at the same time 1 do upt beljovo that
any federal court has any iunsdiction to
dictate whether we shall or' shall not
proceed with the hearing of complaints
preferred against city ollicers. The
power to remove a corporate oflicer
from his ollicc , for reasonable and just
cause , is ono of the common law inci
dents of all corporations , but if this were
not true the city charter expressly clothes
the council with such right. Without
the right to purge itself occasionally a
city government might become unseemly
and for my own part J am in favor of
standing by that right. "
HE SHOT I118 MAN ,
And tlifi CitUens Gave 111m a Gold
Watch far Doing Ho.
All old citizens who patronize barber
shops hero must remember Carl Bock
bans. Fifteen years ago ho was partner of
Loais Faist in the shaving business , and
they held forth on Fifteenth street just
north of Douclas street. They were not
doing a metropolitan business at the
time , for it was rather a season of long
hair and unshaven faces in Omaha.
Finally Hockhaus thought ho could do
better in the far west , and ac
cordingly in September , 1870 ho
started for Loadville , Col. Ho had $90 as
his share of the partnership assets urn
an old fashioned straight back barber
chair. The latter ho disjointed and
placed it in a trunk , the money ho put in
his newly purchased wallet and with the
kind wishes of Ins partner Louis and
several friends started westward. Ho
struck Leadville and there had quite an
experience. After opening n shop and
doing exceedingly well , ho was attacked
by two footpads ono night on Ins return
to his lodging quarters. Carl pulled his
little gun and not knowing whether
lie was going to hit the moon or
an elephant , fired. The result was a
dead robber. Ho tired again , and subse
quent events found n wounded man hid
ing under a"porch. . The shots attracted
attention , strange to say for those Lead-
villo days , and liockhaus was escorted to
the lock-up. A great number of people
assembled , and Tt was found that the
dead man was ono of the most notorious
roughs in the city. The wounded party
was just ua bad , and the crowd immed
iately lynched him , making a telegraph
polo the "Tyburn tree. " Three
cheers were given for Book-
bans , and the next day ho was
presented with n f25 ! ! gold watch which
no now carries. The bullet taken from
the desperado ho killed was attached tea
a gold badge on which were inscribed
the events of the night and ho wears it
as n precious'ornament to-day. Mr.
Bqckhans is now n rancher and cattle
raiser at Ituona Vista , Colo. Ho has been
in Omaha a few days visiting his old
partner , Mr. Falst , and intends to re
turn hero for permanent location in a
ihort time.

They Want the Military Road to Oe
I'ut In Good Condition.
A Tory enthusiastic meeting of the
farmers of the northwest part of the
county was hold at Mr. Crone-
mycr's , to hear the report of a committee
appointed to wait on the county commis
sioners. Mr. Gilmore presided. A gen
eral discussion as regards roads , etc. ,
took placo. The meeting was addressed
by Messrs. Cronemyer , Klougor , Black ,
Mangold , llibbard und Wrago , not only
as regards the Motor line , but also the
condition of the crossings of the Fre
mont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rail
road near Irvlngton , the road leaving
them in such condition that it is n hard
matter to cross. No approaches were
put in , and it is dangerous to man and
boast to cross. Some of the speakers
were sorere in their denunciation of the
commissioners for not looking to the in
terest of the people.
The committee that was appointed at
the meeting held September 122 was
called upon for its report , and Mr.
Mangold , chairman , detailed the action
of the county commissioners.
The meeting appointed a committee ,
consisting of Messrs . Cronomyor , Man-
cold , Larson and llibbard to draft reso
lutions to bo presented to the county
board at their next session. The resolu
tions are as follows :
Hesolvcd , Uy the farmers of the Northwestern -
western part of the county assembled , that
we are thnnklul to the commissioners for
the prompt notion on the resolutions of our
meeting held September ttJ , thereby causing
the motor to he withdrawn.
Kcsolved , That If the road Is to bn further
operated wo object to any other than liorso
power , and that we demand4Wia removal of
the roadbed to one side ot the public road.
Kosolvcd , That wo ask and insist as tax-
pay eis that the Military road be put in good
condition and widened at such places as the
valley east of Sheeley's residence , also in-
sldo tlio city limits on Lowe's avenue , just
northwest of lr. ) Mercer's place.
Kcsolved , That wo call the attention of
the county board to the crossings of the Fre
mont Klkhorn & Missouri VaUov railroad , at
Irvington asking and lusUtlng that they be

the fanners interest , on motion the meet
ing tended a vote of thanks to Mr. Crone
myer for his hospitable entertainment.

County Commissioners.
It is very noticeable that the county
commissioners i rc engaged in rural busi
ness these days. Some say that the con
dition of their "political fences" is not
good and at tins time prompt attention
is required. The commissioners reply
that they have culverts , bridges , county
roads , etc. , to attend to. lie this as it
may the triangular legislative body of
Douglas county are out in the country a
great deal during the falling of the
autumnal loaves. Some folks seek
rural shades when the sun is at
its height and are coming back during
these cold days. On Saturday the demo
cratic trio got together and transacted
sonio business. In the lirst place they re
ceived a petition from K. Gilmore , C.
Cronmyer and Peter Mangold against
the Benson motor on the military road.
They agreed with the petitioners and
passed the following resolution :
Kesolved , That It Is tbe sense of this board
that the board heartily ratify the resolution
presented bv the committee ot farmers this
dav , and It Is hereby understood that when
the franchise was given It was with a thor
ough understanding that it was to be a noise
less motor and In no way to interfere with
public travel.
The foregoing resolution was adopted
without debate , and the following was
introduced :
Kesolved , That this county will pay 81,000
towards grading South Tenth street , under
the direction of the city engineer.
Several bills were allowed , among
them being one for $51.00 for water
during July ; $35 05 for the transporta
tion of paupers ; $18 01 for lumber , and
over two hundred dollars for witness
fees. _
Omaha's Gas Well.
A party of gentlemen were driven last
night to the gas well in North Omaha ,
among the number being the editor of the
BEK andhcveral other gentlemen who had
not seen the well before. The editor of
this uaper was both surprised and pleased
with the showing and the experiments ,
after .seeing which ho believed it
would be possible to stnko
natural gas in suOicicnt quantity
for useful purposes. In his estimation it
was not swamp gas , because it gave
every evidence of having originated in
the manner peculiar to gases which orig
inate much deeper in the bowels of the
earth. The jot in this case is fed from a
depth of at least forty feet below the sur
face and the llauie was from two to four
jnchcs thick and twelve to fifteen
inches in height and burned for
twenty minutes. Experiments were
made with a gasoline radiator
showing the creation of a great deal of
heat sufficient to cook a very palatable
meal. The gas was odorless , showing
that there was no sulphur in it.
Prof. Ponte/ , formerly chemist of the
Union Pacilic , expressed the opinion that
the Iamu ] was caused by the combustion
of natural gas , a fact which the depth at
which it flowed attested , because swamp
gas is never found at a greater depth
than from eight to iiino feet.
Church Incorporation.
Articles of incorporation of the Central
United Presbyterian congregation were
filed yesterday in the county clerk's
oflico. The corporation is for religious
purposes , has no capital stock , and it
