Another complication has Arisen m the
Tenth street viaduct mutter.
The Union Pacific railway company has
secured n temporary Injunction from Judge
Dnmly ol the United Stntoi court , In session
at Lincoln , restraining City Treasurer Hush
from using or negotiating the checks for
H0,4i"i , paid over to him as city treasurer as
guarantee of the payment of damages arising
from the construction of the viaduct.
This order of tbo court was made Friday
night by Judge Duntly upon application of the
Union Pacific company nnd Deputy United
States Marshal Dave Mercer came up on the
first train yesterday morning to servo the
notice upon Mr. Hush.
It will be remembered that Judge Doano of
the district court .handed down an opinion
on the Mill lust. In tbo en u of Augustus
Konnt/o et al aenlnst the city to restrain the
collection of a special tax to pay the dam
ages arising from the building of the viaduct
Judge Donne held that the city had no
jMHver'tolovy n tax to repay to the depot
company the $ , 'I7.7. > 5 which wns paid to the
city treasurer as the amount of damages
which had arisen from the construction of
the viaduct ! that the viaduct wus
built by the Union depot company
und not by nny railroad company ;
that tbo cily bad no authority to require the
depot company to build the viaduct ; that the
money wns paid Into the treasury by the
depot company in recognition of the fact that
It was bound to pay It nnd that the city hiui
no right to assess nny property owners to re
pay tills niiiotmt to the depot company.
Mi. Hush stated that the entire matter In
connection wild the viaduct and the collec
tion of the tax would bo held in nboynnco
until after the hearing in the United States
court , which is set for March 'J ,
"Tbo Illl.-li" ) , which I mil restrained from
disposing of , is what remains of tbo ? IJ7,755
which was paid to mo by the depot company ,
the remainder having been paid by mo to
those property owners who were willing to
accept the amount of damages awarded them.
"Immediately 'after tbo levy to collect the
amount of damages from the taxpayers
was made warrants wore drawn in
f- favor of the depot company for the whole
amount of the $37,7r > 5. As fast as the
tnx was collected It was paid over to the
depot company , about $1OUO ( ( having been so
paid. The decision of Judge Donne stops the
collection of this levy and its payment to the
depot company , and this order of the United
States court stops mo from paying out nny
more money to parties awarded damages. "

They WIM He Pliitcrlnry Curtailed hy
Juduo Caldwcll'H Ic.elnliii. )
An important decision concerning clerks'
fees In the circuit courts of the United
States has Just been rendered by Judge
Cnldwcll.
It appears thcro has been n conflict of opin
ion ns to the right of the clerks to charge
fees to citizens who desire to Inspect thu In
dexes and cross Indexes of the judgment
records of the federal courts. At the last
term of court , for the purpose of settling the
practice In the Eighth federal circuit , a mo
tion was tiled by Judge Mueombcr on behalf
ot his client , J. M. Chambers , and about
twenty-live others , asking Juitgo Culdwell to
instruct the clerk as to tlio right of the pub
lic , ami especially bis client , to make inspec
tion of the Indexes ami records of the judg
ment s of snld court.
It is on this motion thnt Judge Caldwcll
has rendered art opinion , as follows ;
"It will Do observed that the petitioners
do not seek nn order authori/.lng the inspec
tion nnd examination of all the records In
the clerk's ofllco , but only tboso specially
mentioned the second section of the net.
* * Tnoy nro tbe Indexes and cross in
dexes to ttio judgment record of the court and
the Judgment records themselves. "
Proceedlng.tho Judiro takes up In chronologi
cal order the reversal nets of congress relat
ing to fees and discusses them , and says ;
"The language of these statutes is per
emptory nnd authoritative. Thnr ! plain mean
ing nnd local effect are In no ninnncr limited ,
restricted or effected by the provisions ro-
Intlng 10 the fqos of the clerk for searches.
If the citizen requires the clerk to mnke the
search instead of making it fer himself the
clerk is then entitled , for his services , to tbo
fees fixed by the statute. Ho Is oulv entitled
to the fees when ho earns them. He cannot
chnrgo the citlzra fees for the privilege of
doing for himself whnt the statute says ho
may do without nny fees or charge thorofor ,
The fee dots not attach to a search , by
whomsoever auu'i > , but only to a search mndr
by the clork. The statute llxcs the clerk's
fees for searching tbe rccoids , 15 cents for
each person against whom such search is
required to bo mndo.
"Tho terms of this statute are such as to
preclude discussion or debate , It puts It out
of the power of cither the clerk or the court
to deny to the citizen freely and without
charge to inspect and examine the records
mentioned. "
Hero follows a learned discussion regard
ing the records of ancient courts.
"Hutlt is said , " continued thojudgo , "that
while natural persons may have this right ,
corporations do not ; " but the court decides
that corporations do have the same right in
the matter. C3
"It Is duo to tno clerk to say that tils nc
tlon has the sanction and approval of Attor
i.cy General Garland , who gives opinion thnt
the clerk lias n right to charge the fees , ami
among other things , says : 'You will con.
tlnuo to collect the chnrgo as heretofore. ' "
Ttiun Judge Cnldwell takes a decision ol
the federal court In Indiana upon which At
torncy General Garland based hU dlrcctloi
to the clerk , and holds that s > ahl oplnioi
Mug rendered upon default Is not In author
Ity , and concludes :
"Tho clerks of the several circuit courts
in this circuit will conform In the luliaUils
tratiou of their oflicis to the views expressed
in this opinion. This court has no Jurisdii :
tlou over the clerk of the district court , am
o much of the petition as prays for uu ordci
upon that otllccr , U dismissed , "

A Sclienio to Art ilelally Irrigate t i )
Fertile Champion Valley.
CiUMi'iox , Nob. , Jan. 21. To the Editor of
Tin : BEE : Irrigation nnd artesian wells have
been the principal topics of conversation
among our people for the past three or four
weeks. Many believe that artesian water
can bo obtained In this locality at loss than
1,000 , fcot.
The Clmmplon Valley water-power and
Irrigation company proposes for n bond of
IT',000 , to be given It by Champion precinct.
to construct a ditch or canal. from the French
man river , running southeast through said
precinct , and upon delivery to it of said bond ,
It agrees to donate tno sum of $5,000 to Cham
pion precinct for the purpose of boring an
artesian test well in snfd precinct. This propo
sition has been freely discussed by the people
ple , nnd a petition signed by nenrly seventy
free-holders ol the precinct , was presented
to the board of county commissioners , at
their meeting ted iy , asking them to call an
election for the purpose of voting on said
Dond proposition. The commissioners have
granted the petition and set February 23 as
the dny of tbe election ,
Champion precinct is composed of town
ships r > nnd ( ! , north , in range il'J ' west , 0 p. m. ,
and is considered the best precinct in Ohaso
county. The Frenchman river runs through
the north part of the precinct from west to
cast , and If the bonus carry the irrigation
company proposes to tap the Frenchman
river , some three miles west of Champion
and construct an irrigation ditch or canal
eighteen or more miles in length , Irrigating
upwards often thousand acres of land.
Tlio poll Ir. Champion precinct Is very good
and all it needs Is plenty of water to make it
as productive as any In tl\p \ great state of
Nebraska.

DnsMoi.NE ? , In , Jan , 21. Chester Turnoy ,
llio young man convicted several years ago
n the Jackson district court for larceny , sen
tenced to along term In the Anamosa state
prison , and whoso subsequent pardon was
finally obtained by his mother after a long
and tireless struggle , one of the Incidents of
which was a suit against Governor Larrabco
for criminal libel , U again figuring In n highly
sensational case. Ex-Congressman II. II. Gil-
Ictto and wife of this rity have separated , and
the intimate friends of each feel pretty cer
tain that Turney has been the chief cause of
their trouble ,
Among the many women who took n deep
Interest in Turnoy's ' case mid wcro Instru
mental in securing his pardon was M rs. 0 11-
lotto , and whan Turney came from a con-
vlot'scell ho was taken into the Gillette
bouse and put to work In the office of the
Iowa Tribune , of which Mr. Uillctto Is the
Joint proprietor with that noted green backer
and union labor advocate , ox-Congressman
Jiiines B , Weaver. The young man was
taken directly in charge of. by Mrs. Gillette.
She seemed determined to make something
out of him , to Rive him a place in the commer
cial world nnd a standing In society. A
mother could not have been moro devoted tea
a son , But Chester failed to shine In the
eyes of other * than Mrs. Gillette.
Ho proved to bo worthless about
the ofllco and the other employes
soon bcpnn to nmko It uncomfortable for
him. Ho also refused to share bis earnings
with his destitute mother , who had berne
such great sacrifices for him , nnd In this ho
was encouraged by Mrs. Gillette. The son's
Ingratitude nearly made a manl.io of his
mother. Her importunities undoubtedly be-
cnmo very unpleasant , and An ally Mrs , Gil
lette and "Chester had nor arraigned before
the county commissioners of insanity. But
she was adjudged sane , largely on the testi
mony of Gillette himself , who had begun to
tire of the spectacle hi * wife was maldng of
herself in her blind devotion to Turnoy.
Finally Turney's pre > enco about the olllco
bucnme so obnoxious that his relations as an
employe were peremptorily severed by the
proprietors , What to do with him next was
a vexed question for Mrs. ( illlotte , but she
finally decided to nut him upon n farm owned
by herself In Dallas county , not
many miles from DCS Molnes. She deter
mined to buy him a team. Mr. Gillette becoming
'
coming awn're of her purpose , offered to sell
her one. This was nothing unusual , as each
had been In the habit of conducting business
operations Independcntof the other , but Mrs.
( lillcttc dill not take kindly to the pro position.
Finally Chester went to the husband and
said In substance that If ho would do the
right thing by him ho would pcrsuaap Mrs.
Gillette to buy the team. This incensed the
husband so that ho ordered the young man
to KCtoutimd to stay away from the house.
This precipitated u climax. The wife in
sisted that If Turnoy had to go the husband
must go. too , and as the residence in town
was in her name , Mr. ( illletto packed his
grip nnd took up his abode on his farm nt
Valley Junction , from whence ho dally drives
to his ofllce. Mr. L. D. Abdill , a local nior
chant has been appointed trustee , and c
division of the property is beinp arranged for.
The easels certainly n peculiar ono. Mrs.
Hlletto is n woman from forty to forty-live
fears old ; she is of medium height , of trim
Igure ; her hair is somewhat streaked with
Tray , but her face Is ns young as a girl's.

In the literary ana social circles of Dos
