In this cmcigi ncy is what ho told.
About l\vo weeks ago a paity of spoils \ is-
ited the Miiio ( ( city and had in their Inside
pockets some piopositlons to make to the ofll-
uials of thu toun If annexation tallies
thu chance of llnding a squatting
plate in or about Omaha are slim. If annex
ation is defeated they have a chance to locate
In South Omaha and fuinish the spot lively
inclined population of thu tineo cities plates
In which to stake their haul earnings against
nothing. Jim Wilson , who was tlio head of
one of the gambling houses in Council UlulTs ,
was with the little party of bpoits , and he
apparently was enginteiing the scheme.
How fur they sutccede 1 In their plan of ar
ranging things ulth the i Ity olllccib , who mo
opposed to annexation , Is not known , but this
much Tin : BFI : rcpicsontatho disuncied :
Piomises of llminciul aid to defeat anne\a-
tion wcie made in ictuin for assurances of
Immunity fiom piosctution dining the mes
ial iitlminlsti.itlon in e.isu the gambleis

gone. No other ilass of people
ple aio awaiting ho eageily the out

they arts willing and hiuo already oftered
Jiionej'to iihsist in f he defeat of the pioposi-
tlon to consolidate Omaha and South Omaha
If annexation is defeated South Omaha
may e\peet to bo rated as the toughest town
in the west. Open gaming plates on the
pilneiplo sticcl will help to in lira It so , Ills
rated a tough and uninly toun now , and un
justly so. The nmjoilty , and a gicat ma-

the cause ot its umleseived notoiicty. But if
they vote against annexation thoj lay them-

cncoof an uniuly element that is anxiously
awaiting the icsult of Thmsdav's election to

Thctoaitl of publicwoikson Tltui-sday
last ordcicd Chairman Ualcombo to cash the
ehctk deposited by Kmest Stuht as n gimr-
nntj that he would proceed with the Illllng of
cci tain lots , the contnict for which , Ills
elalmed , had been let to him. The reason for
the older was the alleged fact that ho had
not proceeded with the wet It.
Mr. .Stuht's side of the story Is an Interest
ing one. Ho claims that the only tontracl ho
has for the woi k Is ono which was signed
onlj by the secretary of the boat d , and that
It Imd never been netcil upon by thoboml ,
although It was signed by himself mid his
bondsmen. Ho further claims that the board
had not oulcied him to proceed with the
woik , ami consequently that the cashing of
the cheek was done inoio to show how much
thu board could sao the city by forfcltutcs
than to make him itotlYnm tlrj woik.
In this connection Mr. Stuht refers to n
document which ho Introduced in the council
at Its last meeting , whleh shows why the
wcnkln question may not bo done. The lot.s
requited to bo filled me situated in Kountrc ,
Haitman , Hawthoine. Mursll , McCormic's
mid other additions. The contract rofcncd
to by the bo ml contains a clause to
the effect that Mr. Stuht asrces to
accept in payment for the filling nnd
nil material furnished win inn Is tipon the city
ticasmer drawn agaiiist a siweial fund to bo
created bv special assessment upon the lots
to be * Illicit The ( ontr.ictor then sets forth that
iimnr of the streets and allej s abutting upon
the lots In question ha\u not jet been filled
or graded , and that the owneis of the lots re
fuse to till their lots until the sheets and
allejs mo filled and graded. They also
deny the nuthoiity of the city to older
But n Illllng of lots unt 11 the stieets and alleys
1110 put In proper condition , and assett that
if the lots aio filled against their protest ,
they will commence suit to set usldo any as
sessment which may bo inado against the
piopeitjv
It such on expedient should be resulted to ,
the ( ontraetor holds tlio warrants would be

Another similar --aso was in the giading of

Hainey , which lias not jet been paid for.
Still another was In the sloping of eeitaln

.Tudgo Duudy was not lit n happy mood yes

of business that must como before him nt.tho
May term of the federal court. Until re
cently It was supposed that .Tudgo Ciilthv ell
would bo present to presldo over the law
docket , but now this seems Imp.iob.iblo owing
to some matters of his own that must bo at
tended to , which , with the coil it business of
the circuit , w ill keep him absent from this
city until the latter part of the month , at
le.tst.
Said the Judge : "Thoro Is nnj' amount of
woik , and If I have tohmullo both dockets I
will be kepi swelteiing in the couit room
dining thu entire summer , or unlit 11 is time
to go to some other town and .hold couit. You
have no Idea how the business has Incicascd
since I came upon the bench. The prospects
now arc that another load w 111 bo hcuned
upon my shoulders , for if the juiisdiction bill
should pass , thai w 111 add another month to
the tlmo I tlcvoto to the government.
Then there is another thing liable to
happen , which Is the passage of the bankrupt
law. Should this act , which is now before
congicss , become u law , it will foito mo to
hold coin tnboul eighteen months each year.
"I enjoy woi k , but I like to have a llttlo

weio compelled to go through one-half of

die Half of the work that will como bofoio

nesses In the notoiious No Man's Land mur
der ease , which occurred in July
IbbS. Vhls Is the tilal of eighteen or
twenty citizens of Houghton , Ivan. , ns
accomplices in the muider of Sheiiff
John Croos of Stevens countj' , Kansas , and
his posse of six in IbsS. Mr Carr was Iho
last man to talk to Shot iff Cross before ho
crossed Iho Kansas line into the neutral strip ,
and his evidence will bo of much impoitaneo
in the prosecution of the ease. Mr. and Mrs.
Cair gave the sheiiff and his men supper at 1
o'clock on the night before the inassacic and
talked with him concerning the mutter of the
arresl of Sam Hoblnson , now In the Colorado
penitentiary for the robbery ol theFloiis-
sanl postoftlce. It will bo remembered
that Sheiiff Cross had u warrant
for the niiest of the notorious
Sam Kobinson , but had been in evented from
executing il al Houghton , and learning thai
Kobinson had gone into No Man's Land ho
wcnl theio lo arresihlm , where ho would not
have an armed foico to pi event the execution
of the \viu i unt. The hisloiy of Iho frightful
tragcdj * which followed is well known. The
importance of Mr. Cair'.s ' evidence lies in the
fact that ho can cleat Ij'establish Mr. Cioss'
intentions mid the spiut ho manifested. Mr.
Carr was also present at the riot nt
Voothens , Kan , when Kobinson knocked
down the deputy sheriff and when it had
been arranged to minder Colonel Sam Wood ,
Mr. Wood's absence at the time picventing
his assassination , and Is acquainted with all
the circumstances which led up to the massa
cre. Mrs. Carr is the lady who dressed Her-
beiI Toney's wounds and picked the powder
from his face , young Tonev being the onlj'
ono of the shtiilT's posse who estapcd death.
The evidence of these Iwo will bo second in
importance onlj' to the evidence of the prose
