IHE OMAHA DAILY BEE : STOggAT , JULY 7 , ISSD.-SIXTEEN PAGES.
WIUIS WAS IN POOR FORM ,
But Nevertheless Wan Compelled
to Play.
THE GAME REALLY THROWN AWAY
St. Joseph Could Do Nothing tmtUnt ,
but Did Tlmt Exceedingly Well
Standing ot tlio
Clubs.
Omaha dropped back n notch yesterday
nnd is'again tie with St. Paul.
And tliL-ro Is not so much chuckling on the
back seats.
Si. Joe jumped onto tbo White Sox from
the very start , nnd the manner she kept
tlnon chasing the leather was fairly exas
perating.
II wasn't much of n game , however , for
; ftP P decomposition set in at an early stage , and it
looked to n man up a tree as if it was really
thrown away.
'Willis , who hasn't pitched n gatno for
months , nnd who is wholly out of form , was
very inndvisably put in the box for the homo
team.
But it can not all bo laid nt his door , by a
long shot , for the moment the Grays began
to bit him the balance of the team seemed to
lose heart , and they played like a lot of
school children , nnd fully one-third of the
- visitors' runs were accumulated through
sheer carelessness.
Their fielding was rotten , notwithstanding
the error column does ndt show any surpris
ing redundance of blunders. Still the state-
, mcnt stands good , as any spectator will tes-
ttify , All they could do , it appears , was bat ,
nnd this' they/did sufllclontly well to have
won six out of seven ordinary games.
As soon as it bccamo evident Flood was
going to provo a pudding , Manager McGarr
very judiciously sent him to the Hold nnd
culled in Knell in his stead , but like the boy
on the burning deck , Willis staid right
there.
Manager Sclco would not permit him to
retire.
It is dollars to doughnuts , bed Nichols
bcon substituted in the second , or oven third
innings , Omaha would this morning have
another victory to her credit.
But no , Willis was there , nnd there ho had
to remain , despite the fact that every man
who caino to bat smashed him out as easy as
If ho had never handled n base ball before in
his life.
The result of all of this lack of judgment ,
or Indifference , or whatever you may call it ,
was twenty hits and as many runs , and
again'the ' Apostles are up wltb us.
But oxamluo the score , that will supply all
the necessary details :

for bands for the Fpurth nnd that demanded
by the musicians * union all union bands were
ordered not to march In the parade If "scab"
bands were employed. The committee re
fused to pay SO per head and only "scabs" ac
cepted the offer. As a result of the order of
the union the bands of the First and Third
infantry nnd the Second artillery , National
guards , refused to turn out. The members
of tbeso have bcon ordered under arrest and
court-martialed for mutiny. Feeling is
strong among the ofllcors ot the national
guard and it is likely that all members of tbo
bands will be severely punished.
So many flros resulted In this city in past

eight alarms were turned m during tha day
and the aggregate loss was only thrco hun
dred nnd llfty dollars. This is the smallest

The supreme court decided a case Wednes
day of much internal to the legal fraternity
as it rather establishes n precedent regard
ing the liability of a father towards his lllo-
gitlmato child. 'In-1 ' BSD snub a child was
born to G. Hj-JJoasup and Miss Joslo
Langls. Seven < i weeks after the
birth Jcasup tobtc the child and
provided for it and'dontinuod ' to do so until
the boy was sixteen years old. The boy
bore his father's flame and was visited by
his paternal ancestor regularly.
Jcssup was a bachelor and died In 18SO ,
leaving nn estate -valued at ? 120,000. By his
will , made while tho1 boy wus thrco years
old and sickly , tlio [ property went to the
brothers nnd sister * of the deceased. Young
Jessup brought suit to recover the estate. It
was bitterly contested through various
courts. Finally thdfeupromo court nfllruicd
the decision of Ihe ' 'sUperior court , deciding
young Jessup tho'lorfai heir to the property.

manager of the Rio Grande , told Post that
the eighty miles between the terminus of the

much annoyed by the action of Kllrnln's
managers and it docs look somewhat as
thAugh they were not very anxious to have
the light go on , The trouble Is that the
man whom Kllralu will moot Is not the man
whom ho chnlloncrocl. The Sullivan of thrcq
months ago and the Sullivan of to-day nro
entirely different Individuals. It was con
sidered Impossible by Kilrnln that Sullivan
could bo brought anywhere near proper con
dition for a severe light. If John L. is not
physically as perfect as ho was In 1833 ho Is
far bolter prcpnrod as far ns sclcnco nnd ex

truth in the rumor that Kilrnln bos dunked.
Our latest news is that ho Is In line fix and
anxious to got at the big fellow. I am cer
tain that the light will take place , nnd the
only thing that will prevent It will bo the ar
rest of ono of the men by the authorities. I
am satisfied that proper precautions will
bo taken to prevent this. You will llnil
there hns been some good reason for the Kll *

Various Stories Concerning the Ronl
Ohjoct of the Suit.
A now theory has been started regarding
Holfcnstoln's object In bringing suit to qutot
the title to certain lands In E. V. Smith's ad
dition to the city of Omnlm. In the fnco of A
decision glvon some years ago by Justice
Miller , of the United States supreme court ,
it U claimed that Holfonstcln undertakes an
immense Job In attempting to show that ho
has any interest In the property ,
The story goes that In 1851 the Omaha
City company was formed , and surveyed nnd
plotted Into town lots a quarter section of
government Inml , which Is now the ostnto
Insolvent , certificates were isstlod to various
persons who took lots , nnd among
others Robert Shields bccamo ,
in this way , the possessor of ton lots In block
123 > , upon which ho entered In 1855 ! , erected
A house and lived In It about ono year , then
told out to a man named Bccsom. Shields
thereafter moved on to n farm which ho nro-
empted , down m Sarpy county , where ho
lived until some time in 1857 , when ho re
turned nnd re-purchased his former homo
fromo Bcosbni. Shields then prd-omptod an
entire quarter , Including the ten lots on
Which ho claimed at tbo tlmo to have made
a settlement , In April , 1850. On November
21 , of that year , no proved up nnd rocoivcd
his patent from the government.
Hclfonstoin pretends to have purchased
Shields' holdings , nnd on this bases his ullo-
gatloun for a suit in the United States dis
trict court.
The records show , however , that n convov-
nnco was made by Shields to E. F. Teat , on
November 33 , 185(1 ( , of nn undivided interest
in his possessions , and shortly afterward
sold the ether half to E. V. Smith. About
that time it BOO ins that the government
ofllelals surmised that something was wrong ,
nnd the general land olUco Instructed the
locul onicinls to make nn Investigation Into
Shields' pre-emption right to the tract. The
result was a decision against Shields , which
the laud commissioner alUrmcd. but an ap
peal was taken by Smith nnd Test to Jacob
Thompson , then secretary of the Interior.
Ho also approved the commissioner's action ,
and as n consequence , on May 5 , 1800 ,
Shields' claim was vacated.
Caleb Smith , who succeeded Thompson In
1S01 , rovorscd all these decisions and reInstated
stated Shields. It is charged that Smith did
this without Biving any of the interested par
ties notice. Under his direction another pa
tent was issued to Shields , and that Is how
Holfcnstoin's claim cnmo into existence.
After Shields' pro-emptiou had been canceled ,
in 1857 , the land was sold at publio auction.
Dr. G. C. Motioll , as the acent of several
parties , bid .in ono half , and E. V. Smith
purchased the other half. In the meantime
tbo city had Incorporated and took In the
Shields tract. It was u mile away from the
town site , though inside the corporate limits.
Allen Root was ono of the parties repre
sented in the auction purchase by
Dr. Monoll , who bought in the
interest of the Omnlm City company
so as to perfect the title of the parties ,
Shields having secured the tun lots in block
liiSK from that corporation. Root finally
instituted suit against Shields to settle the
question of his title.
Justice Miller hoard and decided the c.iso.
Ho ruled that the purchase made by Monoll
and Smith nt auction gave them a good title ;
also that the entry made by Shields was
void , because the land was not subject to
pre-emption , and that the defect in his title
was a radical ono. After all his operations
Shields had no moro right to the
nrouorty than before , therefore could
not convoy an interest to any
body else. These persons who accepted
deeds from him tool no moro than ho had ,
winch was nothing. Therefore u decree was
granted to Root.
Helfcnstcin has commenced suit against
the following well known citizens :
T. H. Dailey , William Gentleman , J. T.
Paulson , Ella Kennedy , J. A. Whulon. Will

The report now in circulation has it that
Holfonstoin's object is to bleed these peopla
by forcing them into a settlement. George
W. Covoll , his local attorney , was seen
yesterday and questioned on this point. Ho
stated that some time ago , when Judge.
Guthrie , Holfcnstoin's St. Louis lawyer , was
here , certain of the parties defendant had
made overtures and were informed that
negotiations could be entered into on the
basis of a certain per cent of
the cash value of the property now.
The least consideration , however , would
not , he said , ho below 20 per cent. On the
other hand , an organization known ns the
"Homo Defenders' Association of North
Omaha" has been formed , and they propose
to light the case for nil thuro is in it.
The following are the opinions of several
parties interested in the suit :
Andrew Rosowatcr I have been notified
of the suit brought against mo and intend , in
conjunction with many others of these simi
larly interested , to light it. Some of the
pcoplo holding property in tins disputed ter
ritory nro building or nro about to build
houses upon borrowed money , und when this
claim was filed they became alarmed , and
rather than ontcr into u law suit paid thp
money demanded , which in most cases was
$25. This has about been stopped and
nearly all of us have agreed to fight
the case out. 1 have never been approached
personally and offered a quit claim deed , and
don't know whether it 13 Mr. Holfcnstoln or
who it Is that is doing this.
H. P. Doucl I know but little concerning
the matter , I received a notice of the suit
und placed the entire care of it in my attor
ney's hands. I was never offered a unit
claim deed , and know nothing about that
pait of it.
William Gentleman , who owns five lots in
E. V. Smith's addition , which represents the
accumulations of a lifetime , was boon. Mr.
Gentleman pronounces the whole thing a
blackmailing schomo. Two years ago a
similar job was attempted , and when a olub
of defense wus formed the blackmailers
dropped the schomo. Ho thinks the present
organUation of property holders will have
the siino effect.
The expense of hecomiiiK n member of the
"Home Defenders nf Xorth Omaha" is $5 for
every lot owned , and no persons can bccoino
members uflor the lJt.li ol the prcsoatmonth ,
Tha Initiation fees nro to by do voted to the
fighting of IlolfoiiHtuIn's claims. All persons
not joining by the 15th"will have to tight the
Dattlo single bunded. Mr. Gentleman said
that hnotlcuablo omission was the failure to
* uo Smith , Donlso or Paulson , who laid out
the additions. The scheme has been entirely
devoto-1 to persons with ono or moro lots.
Latoy and Benson , who wished to sell two
lots with thrco handsome cottages for $15,000
were approached and an olTor made to release
thorn for f 000.
Mr. Gentleman said also that
there are certain real estata men In the
city who are encouraging Holfonstoln in his
schema to trow a cloud ever this part ot the
city so us to enhance the value of their own
. which Is free from liny such draw-
Cropcrty. Ho cited Mr. Yates us another man
with whom Guthrie had offered to uottlo tot
10 per cent value of his property.
Mr. Thomas Daily , 1-HO Nortn Sherman
avcnuo , suys that the association of Homo
Defenders of North Omaha has now ample
funds to carry tlio matter through , Ho. too ,
pronounced Holfonstom's ' claims us u black

Some of the now officials nro furnlshinq
the democratic press mid politicians witli
good campaign material by appointing tholr
wives and sons and daughters to luurntlvt
positions under thorn. The now commis
sioner of Indian affairs , Mr. Thomas J. Mor
gan , of Hhodo Island , who assumed charge )
ot that ofllco this week , has signalized lua
career by apuolntlng his wife as his private
secretary at n salary of * 1,500 a year. As ho
receives fS.OOO , tholr combined salaries will
glvo them nn Income almost equal to that of
n cabinet ofllcor. It is necessary for the sec
retary of the Interior to npprovo these
appointments , nnd Secretary Noble hns done
so , so that the administration becomes ro *
sponslbio for the nepotism. Hut this is not
the first case of the kind that bus occurred in
the Interior department. Commissioner
Tanner appointed his daughter n his privata
secretary and Hov. Dorchester , the now su
perintendent of Indian schools , lias made his
wlfo u special ngoi.t under him. This ena
bles her to accompany her husband on alt his
ofilclal tours nnd have her expenses paid by
the government , which is n very pleasant
little arrangement. She also receives.
whether nt homo or on the rood , a salary of
$0 n day , Sunday included. Secretary Noble
is said to have hesitated about making this
appointment , but approved it upon
the ground that Mrs. Dorchester wight
bo useful to her husband by
examining the girls in the Indian schools
while ho was looking after the boys. Ho ar
gued too that n woman's eye might sco u ne
cessity for making changes and Improve
ments which might escape the attention of n
man. Mrs. Dorchostor is the only woman
who has ever hold a position us special agent
under the government. These o dices are
very much Bought after , as they give the incumbent -
cumbont n chance to travel at government
expense and at the same time drnw a salary.
Assistant Pnstmnitor General Clarkson is
guilty of another case of nepotism in appoint
ing his son to ofllco , nnd there are a number
of ofllcials of lesser prominence ) who Imvo
found places for members of tholr families.
Until now the only permanent oulcial whoever
over appointed his wlfo to n position was
Senator Hougan , of Texas. When the senate
provided a private secretary for each of the
senators bo nominated his wlfo for the posi
tion. Thcro are n number ot senators whoso
wives assist them In their correspondence ,
but Mrs. Rcngun wus the first woman who
ever received puy from tlio government for
doing BO.

Attorney General John Y , Stone , of Iowa ,
hns been in the city for several days in the
interest of the settlers on the Des Moincs
rlvor lands. Mr. Stone 1ms had several In
terviews with Attorney General Miller on
the subject , nnd one or two with the presl
dent , lie has presented Attorney General
Miller nn elaborate bill in equity which ho
urpes the covcrnmont to tlio in the United
States court in Iowa , thooffoctof which is to
restore the land to the public domain , to the
end that congress may grant it to the actual
settlers who have entered the lands in good
faith. The bill , however , docs not propose
to interfere with the deeds given by the
Navigation company to actual settlers who
have bought of that company in good faith.
Mr. Stone's theory is that tbo Navigation
company's title is ono derived by the con
struction of certain acts and resolutions of
congress and the legislature , and that the
construction which has been put upon them
by tno supreme court will not bo sustained
when all the facts nro known. Thcro are
many important , questions which , he says ,
have never been before the court. The his
tory of the various grants'und of the actions
and proceedings is very long and the ques
tions involved greatly complicated. Mr.
Stone had another Interview with Attorney
General Miller to-day , ut which tie closed bis
argument , which hus extended over much
ground. Itia honed Unit un early decision
may bo had , nnd if it Is favorable to the an-
[ illcation of Mr. Stone lie is confidant that In
Iho end the settlers will got their land. Sen

A COLOHBD CONQ11KOAT10.N AT WAIt.
There was a funny case in the police court

of his congregation of stealing the Itoy to the

Mr. Berkley's story ho felt called upon to
expel from membership In his church eleven
prominent members of the. congregation , in
cluding thrco deacons , wlio ware charged with
dereliction in duty and conduct unbecoming
Christians , The cause of the expulxtnn was
a conspiracy on the part of these eleven
members to expel Mr. HorUloy from the
mlpit und to restore the Itev. Mr. Harris ,
ex-pastor of the church , who was desirous of
icgulnlng his old charge , The sexton sym

whereupon ho was arrested and titkan to the
police station where ho succcudod in secur

while lie wus behind thn bars , the opposition
faction in bis congregation gained access to

This gave Mr. Berkley nn opportunity to get
