For yoflM tbo larso court room m tlio court
liouso tins been tlio scene of legal Ratherinfja.
Times without number the walls have reechoed -
echoed the words of loarnoi ! judge ) and law
yer. There tlio legal warriors have urossod
tiwords whllo the liven and property of
clients hung In tbo balance , but never In the
history of the Doualas county courts did the
attorneys hold a more Important and pleasant
meeting than yostordny.
The occasion was the retiring of Judges
Wakoloy and Eitella to private Hfo. The
hands of the court liouso cloclc plodded lazily
nioiiK until the hour of 10ilJ bad
boon ranched. Three hundred motnoort of
the bar patlontly awaited the arrival
of the members of the licnah , At that hour
Judges Wnlteloy , Uoano , Ilopowoll , Davis ,
Ferguson , Irvlno , and Hstollo arrived and at
on co took up their positions on ttio hunch.
Judge Wakulov sat 111 the center nnd od-
dtng to Deputy Lou Grouo , Instructed him to
open court.
Cleric Moorci read the Journal , after which
Judge Wulccluy remarked ihnt the luilgos
had mot , not for tbo transaction of business ,
but nt thu request of the bar.
Concfiili'il it Ill O.ik HUT ,
Before the arrival of the Judges , a largo
oak box , highly polished and bound in brass
bed Ucon brouirut Into the room and depos
ited on the uttornoy's table , where it was
piled high wltii overcoats , hats and caps.
Stopping In front of this Judge Amoroso

to pass Its judgment. The Judgment , ho sanl ,
\vould bo p.iRscct before tboconrt was allowed

Attorney JJaldwIn be not allowed to speak.
Some people thought the time to say good
thinks about men was after they wcro dead ,
but ho would rather sny good things of live
men tlian to scalier llowors on their biers.
In behalf of the bar ho read tbo following
memorial and resolutions , which weru
adopted :
< > t tint IJnr ,
"lion. Elsnrcr Wakcloy , for nearly nlno
years one of the Judges ofthis court , lo.xvestho
bonuh today. 1'rlor to assuming his Judicial
duties ho enjoyed the high distinction of
standing at the Head of his profession in this
state , his advlcu belli t : soucht by many and
varied intcrosjs. to which ho gave the most
assldlous attention and high legal learning.
Upon tlio bench ho has displayed thn same
qualities. As an Industrious woruer he has
not been surpassed oy any of his successors
or predecessors. Ho has always boon earnest
in the discharge of his duties , faithful to the
hich trust Imposed in him.
'With a life of surpassing purity and up
rightness Jndgq Wakolby has brought in the
dlsuhorgo of his duties upon the bench the
fiamo Indi'sponsiblo reiiuUitcs. His advice
has always been sought upon complicated
questions by his associates ana Ills judgment
by the profession respected. No taint has at
tached to his name in the administration
of the nffuirs of his ofllco. No unfair deal
ings in whatever form they have boon brought
before him but what have received re
buke. No fraud , no matter under
what guise it has been presented ,
has gene unkennelled. lie has fully
oxomplilled the eloquent words of Bishop
Home , When hognothupto the judgment
beat to put on righteousness AS a glorious
andboautiful robe , and to render his tribunal
a lit emblem of that eternal throne of wblcti
justice nnd 'judgment nro thn habitation.
"Wo bid him good-byo with regret , butre-
joico that , tie will still practice his profession
nnd wo doubt not but that ho will uo able to
bear defeat in sharply contested causes witii
younger men of the profession , and as in
olden duvs adopt tbo only two modes of dls-
bent from the judgment ot the court go into
the corridor of the court house nnd oxuress
it to the unresponsive walls or tauo an ap
peal.
"Unsolved. That this memorial bo spread
upon the records of this court nnd an en
grossed copy bo transmitted to Judge
Wulioloy. "
I'rrHi'iitoil it Silt or Sort Ice.
As soon as the resolutions wcro adopted
Judga Ambrose throw aside the pile of over
coats und displayed the box above referred
to. Ho took from his pocket a tiny hey ,
turned back the bolts of stool and upon rats-
inc the cover , upon which was fastened a
burnished platoof brass , engraved :

Then turning to Judge Estello , Judiro Ambrose -

JlCHpOIIHO < ll tllU JtlllROt.
Judge Wukcloy , In rosponduifc to the pro-
lontntion , Bnld :
"Gontlomoii of the bar : For this expression
> f your kindness and goou will towards mo , I
return you my Heartfelt acknowledgments.
This manifestation of your unabated conll-
ionoo in my uprightness end my worlhlnosi
In the Judicial oftlco Is , Indcod , grateful to

"It Is now approaching nine years since 1

"As nil know , these hnvo boor years of tin.

\\M \ been to mo in n large moo uro a connon-
inl work a part of the legal service to which
my life has been devoted. And through all
these years I hnvo fell the nustalnlng and
buoyant Influence , vhlch came from the n -
suranco In many wnyo expressed , that I hnu
the coiilldonco of tlio bar , nnd the reliance of
the people that 1 was endeavoring to ndmln-
istrr Justice among thorn with Integrity of
purpose , nnd with whatever of ability I
posse scd. Without this assurance , nnd this
belief , I can sny , with absolute linearity , I
would not have been willing to remain for n
day In thii pluco ,
"Yot no ono of yon , no party , no litigant ,
can hnvo boon more conscious of my imper
fections , than I hnvo been conscious how far
short I hnvo como of realizing my own ideal
of what n judge of this court should bo. I
have endeavored with steadfast purpose to
walk strnlglitforivarl In Iho path of judicial
duty and rectitude. Yet I have
keenly felt , at times , that my steps were
uncertain nnd the path was obscured. I
hnvo had n clonr mental vision of n just , up

this tribunal xvlth dignity , courtesy and

sought to place this picture upon the cnnvns
my hands have Ucon unequal to the execu
tion. Yot-1 hnvo done the work as it was
given mo to do , xvlth wuutnvcr of Judgment
nnd conscientiousness I could bring to it and
It Is finished.
"Now , gentlemen of tho.bar.lot mo with as
llttlo of formality as may bo , go from this
place , and tiiUu my old position with you ,
und among you , whether or not for active
service , fortune must decide , tf It should bn
thnt I have not yet fully paid the ( loot
which the lawyer owes to his profession , and
that there may bo legal blows to exchange be
tween some ol us , lot them oo fair and manly
blows honorably given in the scrvlco wo
may represent ,
"After nilwhat mattorj It on which sldo of
the bench the lawyer may do his work. So
long as human learning shall bo deficient ;
and human Judgmontshall bo fallible , mis
takes will bo made on this aide of it and un
thnt. if civic honors bo iho lost , never lor
got thnt the lawyer who by ntitlvo gift , or by
unromnarablo purpose in n worthy struggle ,
shall Unit liltiuelf nmungst the foremost of
his profession that lawyer will hold a di
ploma of honor which the world will roco-
ni7i % , and ho will need no executive parch
ment , no certificate of election as Ills' creden
tials to public favor and conlldence.
"With this day's service I shall most will
ingly surrender to otners the burdens and the
responsibilities of this place , trusting that I
have done nothing to dishonor it , or to Im
pair the respect which Is duo to it and hopIng -
Ing that my brethren of the bench , who goon
witn the wprk which I now lay down , may
always have your respect , your confidence
and your utmost nid. "
Judge Eslollo , in n brief speech accepting
the token of respect , said that ho and tils as
sociate had nonrd the judgment pronounced
upon them by the bai , and in stopping down
from the position he occuploJ could say but
a word. During his career upon the bench
ho had tried to do right nnd
deal out even handed justice to
all men. The token ho regarded
as an expression of thu kindly tooling bad
for him as a member of the bar , more than
an estimate of his services upon the bench.
AVuluoiuril Hack to thu Itur.
Ex-.Tudgo ( flarkson , upon whom devolved
the duty \veleoinitiir the two retiring
juugcs buck to the bar , spoke as follows :
"Boing sorntnvhni of an amphibian , if the
bench can bo likened unto unstable wutor
and tbo bur to good , solid land , upon mo has
fallen , at iho urgent solicitation ol the entire
bar , with perhaps I ) . " ) ! ) insignificant exceptions ,
the delicate task of welcoming to terra llrma
the two gentlemen about to emar < fo Irom
the lonncr llcklo element. The poise to Do
maintained must bo perfect. It won't do ,
for reasons psi haps not inscrutable , toolTenu
the tioncb , und it won't do not o
give those retiring nn adequate idea of the
good things to wnich they are coining. The
Aoun-r fellow who became cross-oyod by endeavoring -
doavoring to look love at U\o girls at the
same time'was in u position unombarrassing
compared with mine. Saying nothine of
what has been the lotand its good fultlllment ,
of each of these gentlemen , and desiring to
strip from them , if it has been donned , any
garment ot sorrow or regret , it is our pleas
ure , speaking In behalf of the bar , to lay
before them the splendid chances of the
future , and to make the description so tan
talizing both to the present occupants of the
bench , und to these who are on thu eve of
leaving gaps In our ranksas can bo ventured
with Impunity.
"If I may bo pardoned , the balance of the
address will be directed to Judges "Wukeloy
and Estello.
"You , gentlemen , instead of rendering
decisions to thu certain astonishment of some
and wonder of others at the mental
nbornulun dispHycd , will have Iho
glad satisfaction of being able
to direct und instruct the Judicial mlntl , und
of hearing decisions in full accord with your
views ns expounded in the hfcat of a trial or
evolved in the calm seclusion of n business
burdened ofllco. Instead of having to listen
to thump , thump on tbo desk o * the em
phatic list nnd the ding dang of the guttural
or the shriek of the strident voice urging the
reception of ideas and law known to the
judge in his infancy or ritiiculous in their nt-
tonuution , to you will bo vouchsafed the pro
mulgation of really able arguments and ol
thumping in a rhythmic , fnrcuful. convincing
way. instead of conflicting with
hallucinations of tbo supreme court ,
you will bond your energies to
m'unHnr. rlmm Tnatn.ail nf tinvlnr * lint , nun
place In which to do your work , there will bent
nt your command choice of any four or live
places out of fifty , nil equally demanding at
tention , and you will bu delighted at how
readily will bo acu.utrod the power of per
sonal dispersion.
"Fearing lest1 contrast may become In
vidious , lot It end. You will ugam
know the best fellowship on earth ,
trial of brethren at iho bar. You will
hear Iho clash of arms , and in short
apace roalun that the enemy is In the Held
and perhaps not entirely In accord wllh your
views as to how this or that ought to bo.
You will enjoy the agreeable glow of an approaching
preaching contest with the certainty aflor
a good tight of leaving the mistaken ,
deluded man on Ibo other side tU-
joctly humiliated by defeat. Ho may ho
entertaining reverse views as to the result ,
and through a lot of pcttirocgingnnd unprofes
sional play , nnd with the aid of a * * *
his views may obtain. You will attend
court for the purpose of learning results nnd
with an outward calm suspicious In its irn-
porturbility.nnd indifference so absolute ns to
amount to oblivion of presence uf courtcleric ,
jurv und lawyers , sit burning and free/in
within until vou know whether the righteous
or the unjust imuso prnvall. You will then
go to meet the congratulations or the objur
gations of your client. Tbo fashionable
method of softening these latter and of calm
ing , and if possible , satisfying
the client , and turning his fury ngninst an
object or objects other than yourself , I shall
not divulge , but you will not bo long learning
it. The unctuous fueling of a thousand-
dollar legal tender , whether ns rotalnor or as
ilnal foe , will suuorcode and out measure the
tin-Ill accompanying the quarterly InclosuVo
from Lincoln , and I hope and predict will ns
frequently occur.
"Your felicities will he Innumerable. Your
blttoruoisoa none. Wo wait Impatiently for
you and lo n glad welcome bid you come. "
Other Congratulatory .Spout-hm.
M V. Uannnn salt1 that ho had been re
quested to make u few observations. Ho
spoke fcollnglv upon iho retirement of
Judges Wnkoloy nnd ICstollo. In loforrlng to
Frank K , M cores , clerk ot the court , ho said
Unit ho had come in contact with that gen
tleman nnd forcibly realized that there was a
"IIolo in the uottom of iho sea. "
Ho was glad lo welcome Judge Wnkoloy
ns u member of the bar , nnd thought that
his ripe years of learning and experience
would boot groai value lo the younger mem
bers. When the gentlemen returned ho
could assure them that warm hearts wore
waiting lo welcome U\om.
Judge Doano expressed the sentiments of
the bench and assured the bar thai iho retire
ment ot Judges Wnkoloy and Kstollo wus
deeply rogroued by all of Iho members.

Urown was bonded by the Pidclltv Casualty
company of Now York for ft,500 ! , una
when the shortage was discovered that con
cern through Its Omaha representatives , II.
K. Palmer M Son , started a corps of ambi
tious detectives on tlio trail of the missing
cashier , and they unearthed ultn yesterday
afternoon ,
Droxvu's peculations wcro not discovered
until two or thrco days ago , ns the money has
all been taken within the past month. It
was learned a short tlmo ago that ho had
in vested some money in a laundry In the city
and was spending considerable cash , and the
eastern olllcials wcro apprised of the fact.
Mr. Isaac B. Snow of Springllold , Mass. , the
company's superintendent of agencies , who
was in the woat on ono of his periodical
trips , was notilled to come hero
at once and investigate the matter.
Soon after reach I UK hero ho sent to Cliicago
for un export to look over the book' , and that
gentleman began his work Tuesday.
Brown saw that uo was rfuspoctud nnd
disappeared.
The guaranty company will , of course , bo
held for the amount of the shortage , and the
prosecution of tbo cashier will bo nt the in
stance of the company that bonded him.
The ox-onshior notilled tUo company
yesterday that ho was using every
endeavor to raise the money to
m tko treed tbo shortage , and
his relatives will bo here from St. Louis to
do what they can for him.
The method employed by Brown to cover
up his stoallntrs was to fulslfv his books by
cliargintr up the amounts as money n ivuncad
to outsldo agents. Superintendent Snow has
a letter that Urown wrote to ono agent noti
fying htm that the writer had overcharged
the said agent's account $100 In order to hulp
hiinsclt out of .1 bole.
Just what bo did with tho'money is not
known as yet , as It is not belloved thttt ho
sunk it all in his laundry enterprise , Brown

W. L. Brown was arraigned before Judjo

ALL ABOUT A SIDEWALK-
Ilimid < > r IMiicatlon und Colonri Hlrklmiucr
] lu\iMi Coiillict U'ltlimit ItlooiNlicil.
The Board of Public Works nnd tbo Baard
of Education narrowlv escaped tiaviiip a
clash nncl collision of nuthoiity jcstcrdny
over the rteht to build a sidewalk between
Harnoy nnd Farnnm streets.
The school district formerly owned the
ground immediately west of the Fnnmm school
which should become Twenty-ninth or Park
avenue botvvcon Hartley und Pnrnnm streets.
The Board of Education sold this ground to
the citv for btreot purposes , but ttio city
never paid for it. Last'summor when tbo
city council decided to close Twenty-ninth
street on the east of the Farnam school and
sell thu ground , tbo Boird of Educa
tlon proposed to malco nn ex
change of ground , by releasing the
city from tbo payment of the purchase price
of the lot on the'west of the building if the
city would deed the lot on the east of the
school building to the school district. Tjiis
the citv council refused to do.
The Board or Education then fenced up the
lot on the west of thn Farnam school nnd
shut off the street trafllo there Dctucon Har
noy and Farnam. There has been a creat deal
of complaint on Iho part of parent : ;
who had to send their children to the Far
nam school from points south ot Harnoy on
Park avenue because they were obliged to
wade throuph n muddy sticot from Harnoy
to Farnum with not oven the semblance of n
sidewalk.
A few days ago the Board of Public Works
ordered tho"sidewalk inspector to lav a walk
along the east side of Pant avenue from
Harnoy to Farnam. This would , of course ,
necessitate the pulling down of the board
fence built by the Board ot Education around
the lot west of the Furnam school. As the
workmen approached the lot owned oy the
Board of Education , Attorney McCoy , em
ployed by iho board , madn preparation to
have an injunction issued restraining tbo
Board ol Public \Vorlt \ * from cutting thr.ough
the fence or building u sidewalk upon tbo
ground owned by the Board of Education.
A coiupromlso'botweontho Board of Public
Works and the Board of Education was
llnnlly agreed to , however , by Attorney Mc
Coy agreeing to recommend to the bourd the
building of a temporary sidewalk across the
lot and turning styles at either sldo whore
the walK will intersect the fence.
Mr. Birkhausor agreed to oulld the side-
wnlic only to the fence put up by the Board
of Education with the noovo understanding ,
The matter will bo discussed nt tbo meeting
of the Board of Education tonight.
