Yard -ATTRIBUTED TO .BOODLE Failure to Award the Lincoln Viaduct Con tract Causes Trouble. BOTH SIDES MAKE MANY CHARGES Temporary imhlllty of the Milwaukee lirldco and Iron Work * to Secure CompetentNolirunkn Ilondsmon Defeat * the Company. LINCOI.K , Neb. , March 25. [ Special to TUB DEB. ] After all the matter of the viaduct contract has not been settled. After the Board of Public Works had yesterday notified the Milwaukee Bridge and Iron works that the contract had been awarded them and would bo signed Just as soon as the bond was turned In , the council overturned the whole thing and thereby created a great rumpus. Today there am whispers of boodle on both sides. "Both sides" refers to the Lcavcn- worth firm , which has had Its representa tive hero over since the opening of the bids , ixnd the Milwaukee company. The Milwau kee people were awarded the contract at the meeting Tuesday night and given three days in which to llle their bond. It was not until yesterday , however , that they discovered their bondsmen must bo resident freeholders of the city of Lincoln. The agent hurried to the American Exchange and First National banks and secured them as sureties , but they required an indemnifying bond. This could not be secured from Milwaukee in tlmo for last evening's meeting of the coun cil. cil.When When this fact was reported to the coun cil a number of the aldermen began raising technical objection to the final awarding of the contract to the Milwaukee company , claiming mat as it had not Hied Its ooiul in the time required by law , it forfeited its nward and the check of $1,000. This led to a big verbal row , and the matter was dis cussed pro and con for over an hour. A mo tion to adopt a report Hied by the Board of Public Works extending the time tor filing the bond until Tuesday was defeated , as was n motion to lay the matter over until that date. Representatives of the Burlington , who were anxious to have work begun at once , offered to put up a bond then and there , and proceeded to got the necessary signatures. U'horo were not quite enough , however , and summoning a carriage Superintendent Big- neil started after Hank Presidents Burnham nnd Harwood , but while ho was absent thu council by a vote of 7 to 5 adjourned. The disgust which was apparent when the car riage rolled up and its occupants found the council had dissolved , speedily melted into indignation and later into a number of sul- phuious expressions. The Burlington people ple claim the Milwaukee contract is J10.000 better than the I avcnworth , nnd that a combination exlatf for the purpose of freez ing out the Milwaukee people and awarding the contract to the Missouri Valley Bridge nnd Iron Works of Leavenworth. The mat ter will bo fought over again next Tuesday. City lu Ilrlef. Prof Larlmore's two-story residence at Normal , n suburb on the southeast , was par tially destroyed by lire yesterday afternoon.

Sherwood B. Heed , traveling auditor of the Union Pacific railroad , with headquar ters at Denver , has been a/rcstcd on a charge of embezzling f 1,700. As traveling auditor it was Rood's busi ness to check up accounts at railway sta tions on the line ot the Union Pacific In his territory. Although the traveling auditor does not handle a cent of money and is held only responsible for the accounts of .tho agents , Uecd has been In the habit of bor rowing money from the agents , generally giving them an I. O. U. or duo bill for the amount borrowed , which ho asked the agent to carry as cash until ho could lift the tag. In some cases ho did not even write I. O. U. , but simply said : "Duo , $000. " This tag the agent carried as cash on hand , although distinctly against Uie printed instructions of the company as to advancing money to traveling auditors and others unless so authorized by the head of the auditing department. Yet the fact of a suuerlor offlcer , as the traveling auditor was , asking for money and giving as an excuse "that It was to bo used In the service of the company , " carried a force with it that all the printed instructions in the world would not have stopped , and so Reed got the money. In ono or two cases , where .ho received ! 00 at a clip , lie gave the plausible reason that it was to be used In closing deals on coal lands , authority for so doing having been given him by the assistant auditor or someone ono high in power in Omaha. When Agent , Kcefo resigned at Colorado Springs ho turned in Reed's tags for ? COO , which exposed the latter's scheme to the ofllcers at headquarters. Reed worked about twenty agents and when arrested con fessed the fraud. Ho said ho had used the money to pay old debts , but the evidence in the hands of the investigating ofllcers indi cate that it was the old , old story of wino and women. Auditor Young exonerates the airents because the traveling auditor is con sidered their superior and a rule of the com pany directs them to respect his orders. Reed was n resident of Omaha several years and worked up to the position of chief clerk in charge of freight accounts in Aud itor Young's ofllco. While hero ho was a member of the Apollo club and sang in sev eral small church choirs. Proildmit Clark's I.rtive Taking. Previous to his leaving for St. Louis Mr. S. H. II.

His ofllco at headquarters shows no evidence of ever having been used. The desks are closed and un air of neatness per vades the place. There are no papers scat tered about , and everything Is In readiness for his successor to step in and begin busi ness. Even the railroad trimmers will shortly remove Mr. Clark's pictures from the wails to make room for the counterfeit presentiment of the now man at the holm.
