Another Tom Jlurrny rinnlly
Not many months ago TUB Br.c published
nn nrcount of the raid thnt was mndo on the
St. Clalr hotel , when a number of parties
were pulled nml charged with robbing n IKJOI-
Swede from the country.
At thnt time the hotel was operated by ono
Davis , who enjoys the distinction of being n
brother to n lawyer of the city , ono who has
the satuo name. On the trial there wore
Borne things that indicated that the lawyer
was Interested in the receipts of the house ,
nnd these facts were published. N
Last summer this lawyer was called be
fore Judge Irvlno to answer to some alleged
crooked connection with the case of Wasser-
man against Iroy , it being charged that ho
secured an aflldavlt while acting for the
plaintiff that was false. Davis was before
the bar committee , and it was only by the
skin of the teolli that ho escaped disbar
ment. Tun HUB kept watch of the proceed
ings , and when the investigation was over
published the facts as they were given to
the committee. A few weeks later Davis
commenced a libel suit against Uiic Dnn. in
which lie alleged that Ills reputation had
been damaged to the extent of a cool JlO.uuo ,
that his practice had been greatly injured
nnd that on account of the publication ho
was scoffed at as ho passed along the
streets. D.ivls was getting along very
nlcelv until yesterday , when the old case of
Wasserman against Iroy was called before
Judge Davis. Then all of the facts regard
ing his connection with the Wasscrman nfll-
davit came out. and the upshot of the whole
/jiattcr was that the court issuer this order
jtnil made it a matter of record.
There belns testimony In the casoofWns-
ficrnmn iiBnfnst Iroy tendlnj ! to show that
John I' . Davis , the attorney for tlio plaintiff ,
has been Biillty of Irregular practice us an at
torney iitlaw In hrln. tin ; s'Hd ' action nnd
In sains out it writ of roplov n for urppurty ta

the court directs the attention of the bar ; com
mittee , appointed ut this toim of court , to the
matter , nnd nsks that the members Invest -
Kato and report thereon to the court ; and , It
the incmhom nru of the opinion that the said
Davis hud knowledge when ho procured the
writer replevin that the pmnprty hail boon
taken upon an attachment , said committee Is
then iiliected to lllo an Information against
said Davis , tliat the matter may como losu-
larly before tlu > court for such action as It
nrny bo udvKed Is proper to bo taken.

CnuHo Three Suits for DniniiRt'g AcfirocntliiK
US 1,000. .
The Commercial National bank appears as
the defendant in a suit which was brought
yesterday. The plaintiff is Soltna M. Hulton ,
who thinks that she is Justified in asking
for $10,000. She alleges that on or about
December 0 , 1802 , there was n heavy fall of
now , a portion of which fell upon the side
walk on the Sixteenth street side of the
bank building ; that , contrary to the pro
visions of the city ordinances , the banlt
people failed to clear the snow away within
twenty-four hours. While the snow was
upon the walk , and while the walk was as
slippery as glass , the plaintiff went along the
itrcot , falling upon the sidewalk and brcai-
Ing her left arm.
South Omaha will wako up this morning to
find that it has two law suits on its hands ,
both of which have been brought because
the officers of the municipality failed tohavo
the snow , ice , mud and slush cleaned from
the sidewalks along N street. Melissa A.
Bunker alleges that during the evening of
December 21 ! she was going along that street
nnd that on account of its wretched condi
tion she fell , breaking her right wrist. The
other plaintiff alleges the existence of the
same state of facts , with the exception that
it was the left wrist that was broken. Each
woman sues for 2,000 , and an allowance for
doctors' biils.

For the first time in the histor/ South
Omaha residents and property owners at the
Summit in the north part of the city have
ivakcd up sufliclently to ask for recognition
at the hands of the city council. Up to the
present time not a voice from the hill has
been heard in the council chamber , except to
protest against that portion of the city be
ing declared a cow pasture only last summer.
That portion of the city has always been
considered the most desirable residence
place within the city limits , and there has
never been a dollar of city money spent
north of F street nnd west of Twenty-fourth.
As early ns 1884 the land syndicate , having
purchased the land from farmers , laid out
two blocks between B ana D and Twenty-
fifth nnd Twenty-sixth nnd planted the same
with trees for a park , with the declared
intention of putting a fountain in the center
pnd otherwise beautifying the grounds ,
with the expectation that at no
remote day the park would bo surrounded
with costly mansions occupied by aristocratic
residents. The park has since been deeded
to the city , but the trees have been neg
lected and the fountain never sent its spray
heavenward. The lots are practically nil
owned by private parties , the original syndi
cate having no Interest in improvements.
Within the past three years many handsome
residences have been built around the Sum
mit , nnd now , as stated above , property
owners are beginning to wake up and ask for
what they should have had many months
ago.
Several meetings have been held at pri
vate houses , tno List ono attho residence of
H. C. Young , Twenty-sixth and B , which re
sulted in the organization of the Highland
Park association. John A. Dee was elected
president and II. C. Young , secretary. Com
mittees were appointed to request the coun
cil to establish a grading district embracing
tlio territory from F street to the
north line and from Twenty-fourth
to Twenty-seventh streets and for
securing electric lights , lire plugs ,
etc. , to all of which the taxpayers arc
entitled , The school board owns a splendid
alto for a building at Twenty-sixth nnd E
and the Association will use its best en
deavors to cive the Summit dwellers the
school facilities which they have been
deprived of all these years. The association
will ask the city council to name the park
"Highland park , " though Summit park
might bo more appropriate , as that locality
was called the Summit before the city was
thought of. The association will hold an
other meeting at the Stockman oftlco ,
Twenty-fourth and N , next Friday night.

1'rrpnrntnry to Entering tlin Sctiittr.
Yesterday Senator-elect Allen was en
gaged several hours In conference with pop
ulist leaders at the Millard. Ho said to Tin ;
Bin : man :
"I am trying to get my private and official
affairs in slripo so that I can go to Washing-
Ion next A-eck , " ho said to a UCB reporter.
" 1 will hand in my resignation as Judge of
the Ninth Judicial circuit in a few days
This business has como upon mo so suddenly
that I am finding it very dllllcult to get my
affairs closed up so as to get to Washington
nt the proper time. "
Senator Allen has appointed Mr. T. F.
Mcmminger of Madison as his private sec
retary. Mr. Meinminger has been a resi
dent of the state for about nine years , and
has been a warm friend of the senator. Ho
has held the position of county treasurer
nnd vice president of the Madison State
bank.
Senator Paddock was in the city yester
day on his way to Washington and
loft for the east lust night. In
conversation at the Millard the
senator reviewed the struggle at Lincoln ,
touched upon the alleged bribery of legisla
tors and spolco of his record in the senate
during the past six years and of the measures
that ho has labored to see enacted.
"I am not at all cast down by defeat , " ho
said. "I made an open , square republican
light and I have nothing to regret. I feel a
sense of relief such ns I have not felt for the
past llvo years. During my term of ofllco I
have worked day and night on an av
erage of sixteen hours n day , includ
ing Sundays. My record will show more
effective work for the upbuilding of this
state than has over been done by any other
man In the same length of time or over will
bo done again 1 am glad to get out of the
ofilco and got homo to my own private busi
ness , which has for the past live years been
constantly and shamefully neglected on ac
count of my absorbing interest in the public
business under my charge. I entertain no
malice toward those who have dcspitefully
used me , If any such thcro bo. or toward
these who thought it would be for the pub
lic interest to retire mo to private life. My
heart is full of gratitude to the faithful re
publicans who stood by mo from beginning
to end and went into the ditch after as glori
ous a light as over was made against
the most adverse circumstances. I have
also a very pleasant recollection of the ex
ceptional kindness and courtesy of n largo
number of the members of the independent
party during the contest. Very many of
them , in their hearts and Judgment , preferred
ferred my election to any new and untried
man. They seemed to understand nnd ap
preciate better than many of the republicans
the value of mywoidc with relation to the
igricultural interests of the state and the
iphuilding of this young commonwealth.
Under certain contingencies I believe everyone
ono of them would have voted for my re
election. "
Heferring to the alleged bribery rumors the
senator saidI : think thcro is a good deal
of chaff in the nhvubout that whole business-
I do not beiicVo that Mr. Thurston or any
other man sought to bribe members of the
legislature In order to secure their votes. No"
Intimation of n drairo to be bought was ever
conveyed to me from any sourro ; nnd so far
as I kuow"thcro was not a dollar offered or
paid for any vote in my interest. I han no
money to spend for such a purpose even if I
had been so inclined , and I certainly had no
such Inclination. So far as I am concerned I
shall bo very glad to see the fullest Investi
gation , but investigations based on rumor
alone are seldom wise or useful. "
Turning to the subject of his record the
senator expressed the opinion that the pure
food bill , for which ho had labored so dili
gently for several years , would die in the
house. Ho feared also that the anti-options
bill , for which ho had labored and voted ,
would meet with a similar fate.
"It is fortunate " ho "
, remarked , "that the
meat inspection bill reported by my com
mittee has become a law and has been worth
thousands of dollars to the farmers of the
country already. The forestry blll.whlch lias
been reported from my committee and which
} s only second in Importance to those Just
mentioned , is on the senate calendar and
will have to go over to the next congress.
The bill for enlarging the jurisdiction of
the Agricultural department will also go
over. There are some other measures which
I hope to work out before the close of the
present session. When the session closes I
shall pack up my grip , stow away my port
folio and return to my homo to take up the
duties of a private citizen more than con
tented with the change. "

Millionaire Crroilo Singled Out n the Vic
tim of a ( inni ; .
DENVER , Colo. , Feb. 1. ! . An evening paper
prints quite a sensational story under the
date or Pueblo , Colo. , in regard to an attempt
, o extort hush money from Mr. N. C. Crccde ,
the millionaire , who discovered the rich
minc'ral at Creedc , Colo. , and in honor of
whom the camp was named.
A young man said to bo Floyd Harvey , a
nephew of Mr. Crccde , is supposed to liavo
jecn the person who intended to do the
Blackmailing. Harvey , who is a son of the
lostmastcr nt Leon , la. , arrived in I'ueblo
Tanuary 28 and stayed there under the as
sumed name of A. L. Abbott , registering
from Aspen , Colo. , for a couple of days. Ho
suddenly disappeared and the next thing
heard of him was that ho had died on n train
when Hearing Wilson , Kan. The
body was taken off there and
afterward shipped Dto his father
in Iowa. Death had been caused by poison ,
which is thought to have been self-adminis
tered. Durinir Harvey's short stay in Pueblo
liu told a chance acquaintance that ho was
thcro for the purpose of blackmailing Mr.
Creede. His frankness led the acquaintance
to think that Harvey was slightly unbal
anced. Harvey went on to tell his new friend
that about twenty years ago Mr. Crcedo had
killed a man because of his threatening to
foreclose a mortgage on Crccde's father's
farm. The killing is alleged to have been
done in Jasper county , Iowa , and Creede , as
the story goes , finally loft Iowa , going to
Kansas , from whence ho came to Colorado ,
where ho has boon prospecting in the moun
tains until he liually struck it rich in the
famous Crcedo district.
Young Harvey said ho proposed to demand
$ Ti,000 from Mr. Crecdo for keeping the mat
ter quiet , but his scheme was suddenly
checked by his death.
Mr. Creede was seen at his homo in Pueblo
in regard to the story nnd said that since
December 10th ho had received several let-
tjrs alluding in a mysterious way to "Dun-
reath , Jasper county , la. " Ono of these
letters was from Fort Worth , Tex. , nnd
another w.is mailed from Denver. The let
ters bore different signatures although the
handwriting in all was the same.
Mr. Creede attempted to capture the
writer , but was unsuccessful , when asked
about Harvey , who was found dead on the
train , Mr. Creedo admitted that the young
man was his nephew , but that ho had not
seen him in Pueblo and did not think that
ho was the man who registered under the
name of Abbott. Mr. Creedo emphatically
denies having had any trouble in Iowa , nnd
says that if it was really his nephew who
has been trying to extort money from him ,
ho must have been used ns a cat's-paw by a
gang of scoundrels desirous of blackmailing
him.
