Appeals for alrt for tlio families of tbo firemen -
men who lost their live ? nt the Shivcrlck
Jlro have directed the attention of many
citizens to the consideration of methods /or
the better financial protection of bravo flro-
men who risk their lives \vhllo engaged In
the duty of protecting property.
Many schemes hare boon advanced , Some
cltlrcns have advocated the establishment ,
by the city , of n sinking fund , the Interest
upon which shall bo devoted to relief pur
poses. Others have suggested that the city
Insure the life of each fireman In an accident
Insurance company. This latter plan has
mot with much favor , the only objection being -
ing the high rates charged by the accident
companies for polices hold ( > .v firemen.
The occupation Is 'classed . as haz
ardous and the risk limited to $1,000
upon each policy holder upon which a pro-
inlum of & > 5.fiO nor year Is charged. At this
rate It would cost the city of Omaha $2,1 ! 11
yearly to provide each of Its eighty-eight
llroincn with an accident policy which guar
antees $1,000 , in case of death or ? 10 weekly
indemnity In case of Injury , For M.4S3
yearly the city could , by patronizing two
companies , double the amount of the policy
and the Weekly Indemnity payments. Those
who favor this system urea that It would bo
chcaiw , more charitable and fairer to
care for the llremcn In th'a ' manner than to
contlnuo the present system of opening a
subscription and bogging bureau each tlino u
fireman is killed or Injured.
B The plan of having the clt.v protect killed
or injured firemen or tholr dependents , just
as the governi'iont is doing In the cnso of its
soldiers , is also strongly favored by some.
Mayor IJoniU Favor * It.
Mayor Doml.i was asked for his opinion of
the plan. "Well , now , let mo think of that , "
replied his honor , meditatively. "It seems
to mo. " ho continued , after u few moments'
reflection , "that something of that kind
would bo advisable to do. . The parallel be
tween the occupation of the fireman and the
soldier , both of whom defend our property
and lives , is certainly very close. Disasters
llko those resulting from the tire on Saturday
night unquestionably entail great hardships ,
such us must appeal to the heart of every
citiren , Not only the dependents of the
bravo fellows who died arc severe
sufferers , but the families of the
men who wore injured are perhaps
in nn oven more pitiable condition. Title o
Morris , for Instance ; ho Is all smashed up ,
BO that if he lives ho may bo a lifelong cripple -
plo , and ho has a wife and four small children.
Now , under the ircsent arrangement , while
the families of the dead receive $ -100 fem
the firemen's relief fund , the families of the
injured men got nothing.
"Somo provision should bo made for tbeso
also. The amount of relief which Is now
given in the case .of dcatli is entirely inad
equate. Then , take the other cases. I 'bo-
liovo that liny needy members of a victim's
immediately family ought to bo assisted. I
think also that the money being raised by
public generosity otitrht not to bo paid over
nil nt once , but doled out to the dependents
from time to time , as it may bo needed.
That is why 1 suggested that it bo taken
charge of by a commission. It ought to be
invested for the sufferers In some way ,
either in a savings bank or on mortgage , w >
ns 'to bo earning some increase all
the time. Similar considerations might
prevail in relation to a fund to Ua raised in
the manner suggested by your question.
As a general proposition , it has my hearty
approval , not only as regards the dead or
disabled , but needy veterans also. If a fund
. were raised .gradually' by taxation , and
profitably invested , the tax might bo sus
pended Jn the course of some years , whenI I
over the fund became largo enough to be I
self-sustaining. "
KcliooH of Sentiment.
"That strikes mo ns bglng n very proper
Idea , " remarked City Engineer Hosewater ,
who had entered the mayor's ofllco toward
the close of the conversation. "There is no
law authorizing city councils to create such
a fund , but one might be passed. I would
combine the policemen with the firemen ,
ns they are .sometimes killed or injured m
the performance of their duty also. An
assessment of a quarter of a mill per annum
on the basis of our present valuation would
yield ? oOUU fi year. The present , valuation ,
which Is only about n tenth of the
actual value , will doubtless in a few
years be raised to $ noOCOCGO , when
R tax of # mill \\otild amount to J2. > ,000 , and
then the percentage might bo reduced. The
deaths and injuries caused by the late flro
show the necessity and justice of establish
ing some sinking fund of the kind. "
Finding so much Interest manifested In
the hcheiiio TIIK BEE reporter next called
upon the sheriff's clerk , William Co burn ,
who Is a member of the Board of Flro and
Police commissioners. Mr. Coburn stated
that ho understood that a plan similar to the
ono suggested was already in force in several -
eral largo cities , including Milwaukee and
Chicago.Tho idcastrikes me favorably. No
ono acquainted with all the facts in this
rasv , it sreins to mo , could hesitate to en
dorse such a proposition. L was at the fun
eral , and the distress and destitution there
visible pioclulmed that something ought to
bo done to vulluvu it. I would bo In favor of
a sinking fund llko that of the Hoard of Kdu-
cation. T'io Jlrcmcn have a relief fund
now , but It is of their own creation ami en
tirely inadequate. Wo are limited by law to I
$100,000 n year for the support of the two i
departments of flro and police. T.tko ninety i
liroinen at 70 n month for wages , and it does
not , leave any too much for the other routine
oxpensrs of the department. The creation
of n pension fund by the cltv council would
rcnulrolcglHlativu action which could not Do , .
had until a yo.tr from next winter , but I
think steps should bo taken to secure it
then.1.1
Uiwycr J. C. Wharton , who was present ,
cuJoi-hcd the pension fund idea : "Such
men ought to bo tissurcd on entering lid lia
Bcrvico that if disability or death occurred
to them In the performance of their duties :
themselves and their families would bo taken
caru of boyoml all uncertainty. "
Comiiil.islouer C. Hartnmn of the Fire * and
1'ollro board , when scon Imparted the information
mation that the charter provides that the
l 'Iru unit I'ollco commission may , at its
discretion , In case a ilreman is injured , allow <
the- sufferer three months pay. "But tlmt
is merely nominal , " ho added. "I would
lIUu to sue a law making the indemnity
larger and it public tax , and would bo in
favor of memorializing the next legislature
lor that purpose , Or it might bo raised roy
nssossnumt on each member , as is now done
by tha jiollcemnn. An assessment of 1 per
rout on policemen , together with the pro
ceeds of their picnics and similar enter
prises , has in seven years amounted to about
| 7UOO. The llromen's fund pays $400 to uta
member's dependants in case of death , but
this Is small and it leaves noth
ing for members or their families
| u the on HI of disability , though ;
the immediate need may bo greater. " Mr.
Hart man spoke of the pitiable condition lr.of
the injured Morris and his family of a wlfo
und four small children , and then narrated
, the heartrending fact that Mrs , Cox's llrst
Intimation of the death of her husband was
when she had prepared his breakfast and
nicked up the morning paper.
Ai | > riiU to Humanity ,
F. li Moore's , clerk of the district court ,
replied to the reporter's inquiry : ' 'Yes , sir ' ;
that Idea of u pension fund is all right. , !
When I saw those men pulled out from under
the o ruins , I thought tlmt thoru ought to
bo some sufficient wny to take care of tholr
famllloi , or themselves if they survived.
The city could well afford to do it. " *
The register of deeds was not in , but
Peputy Kcglstcr Hoorcn said ; "I bellovo
"flromon are entitled to the same considera
tion as soldiers. They appear to huvo raan
easy time , but they take their life In their
bauds when they RO to a lire. Something
should bo doue when they uro killed or dis
abled. "
City Treasurer JJolln said : "It ought to
ba done. It is ctono iu Germany in all
nrgi cities for uiauy yean past. I don't re-
momhor the provisions , as I came away when
young , "
Famllta * of riremon Ar Poor.
Theo OMen , city comptroller , salds
"Tho families of killed or injured firemen , I
bollovo , ought to bo taken care of under nil
circumstances. The only question I * ns to
whether the public might not bo loft to do
It , as heretofore. In thn old country pen-
Mom for public servants are tnoro common
than hero. The American people and all
who nro Amorleanl/ed arc so largo hearted
as not to allow any ono to suffer , and are
responding to the call for aid , but , of course ,
the fund raised by such means Is bound
to bo uncertain In amount , whereas a city
pension fund would establish it for a cer
tainty. A firemen's relief fund already
exists , but it is their own money , which
they are under compulsion to contribute out
of their wages. A pension fund would
probably bo , on the whole , the best moans of
dealing with the question that could bo
devised , "
PARK DOAKD STRIKES A SNAO.
It has been confidently expected that at
least a portion of Omaha's system of boule
vards ns mapped out by the park commis
sioners would bo opened up and Imuroved
this year. Complications have arisen and it
may bo that nothing can bo done nt present ,
beyond making the surveys and getting the
data In hand. The turn in affairs is rather
unexpected and disappointing to the park
board. The entire matter has been dis
cussed by the members of the board and
the snag has boon encountered In the shape
of a legal opinion from Judge fy.tkc , whoso
position was sustained later by Mr. Council ,
-Dr. Miller has lor some tnno hold the
opinion that the park funds could not bo di
verted for the purpose of acquiring land for
the boulevards and their Improvement. In
thh ho has been fully sustained by the legal
advisors of the board , Jtuigo Lake after a
thorough investigation of the charter has
concluded that the only source from whence
fulids for boulevards can bo derived is
through the city council , cither
being appropriated from the general
fund or the voting of bonds for
that express purpose. It is not ncccs-
sary to scouro funds for the entire
expense in this manner. When a strip of
land is acquired by condemnation
proceedings for boulevard purposes
appraisers determine the amount of the damages -
ages , as also the bcnctits , which are assessed
against the property. This is whcro the
hitch comes in. The board fears that
the amount of damages returned
by the appraisers might exceed
the amount In benefits. The excess would
have to bo mot in some manner , and to meet
this possible contingency the park board be-
lloves It will bo a wise policy to know from
whcneo the money is to"come. . .Tudgo Lake
holds it must be provided by.tho council
from the general fund or from the sale of
bonds voted for that nurposo. The ntten-
tion of the council will be directed to this
condition of affairs.
As to whether any of ttie boulevards will
bo opened and improved tnls year depends
entirely upon tno action the city fathers may
take. The general fund is not running over
with the dollar of the dads , and would not
stand a very heavy draft. In case the coun
cil signifies to the commissioners that funds
will bo provided to meet any amount
that might arise in excess of the
bcnoilts derived , proceedings will not
bo stopped , and the boulevards will
bo opened as soon as possible. But in
case the council considers the funds too
short to bo applied for such a purpose there
is but ono course loft. That Is for the tax
payers to vote $100,000 In bon Is this full for
boulevard purposes. The city is author
ized to issue bonds In the sum of S. 00,000 for
the llrst three years of the existence of the
park board , and but $100,000 have been
issued so far. That is the predicament the
commissioners are In just at this time and a
recommendation will bo niado to the council
that funds bo provided so that the work of
opening the boulovutds may proceed.
TO SUCCEED THE MAJORS.
Mnyor Itcinla Wmits tlin Ouoitlon of Inw
Snttlcd nt OIICH.
The determination of the city council to
biro 1 a law.or . to defend the city in the suit
Major j Baleombo lias , brought in the district
court to recover his salary as street commis-
sloner and member of the Hoard ot Public
Works , was thu talk In municipal circles to
day. The refusal of the council to allow the
major the increased salary 'under the now
charter , and to recognuo him as street
commissioner and Major Furay as sewer
commissioner is the foundation for the suit.
As the appointment of members of the
board occurs on the llrst Tuesday in July it
Is the dcslro to have the courts pass upon
llio case In order that the fact may bo ascer
tained as to whcohcr the mayor shall name
ono or three members. The council Is al
most unanimous in the belief that three
members should bo appointed , and this is
why the members dcsiro an attorney other
than Mr , Council. Ho has given It as his
opinion that but ono member should bo ap
pointed , and ho holds that thn mayor's
designation two months ago was perfectly
proper.
Mayor Bcmls is much Interested In the
matter and desires that the case bo passed
upon Immediately In order that ho may
know without doubt how many members of
the board ho shall namo. He .said this
moraine : "I consider that the actioniof tlio
council is all right. Thn tlmo is growing
short for the appointment of members of the
board , and If the case is brought to trial
immediately it can bo passed upon and
the dispute settled. Mr. Council holds that
but ono member should bo named , while I
hnvo hoard other attorneys , and people have
told mo of more , who have given it as their
opinion that three members should bo ap
pointed. It is tin Important question that
can only bo settled by the courts , and it
should bo passed upon immediately , ana I
liono it will bo as I am much interested in
the outcome. "

END OF THE LINCOLN BANK TROUBLES
The llnnk Wrucker Fleniln Onlltr und 8nr
lie M Anxlnu * to Ho to the I'cnl-
tcntlnry Sentence Deferred
for n Short Tlmo.
A term of flvo years or moro in the United
States penitentiary wai made it certainty In
the Hfo of Mr. Charles W. Moshor ,
late president of the Capital National bank
at Lincoln yesterday in tno United States
circuit court , " I
'Iho only questions remaining to bo de
cided In the final dlsiwsitlon of the case are
the plaeo of confinement to which ho will bo
sent , and whether ho will have to servo moro
than llvo yoars. These matters would prob
ably have boon disposed of yester
day had Ic not been for the fact
that the attorneys for the receiver of
the dofunet bank and for the stockhold
ers of the Institution have been making a
vigorous effort to got the court to send
Mosher to the Nebraska state penitentiary
nt Lincoln , instead of the United States
prison at Sionx Falls , S. D.
This , the Judge cannot do without nn
ordnr from the attorney general ,
as ho has boon laboring under orders
from the government for some tlmo , which
direct that all United States prisoners sen
tenced In this court for terms longer than one
year shall bo sent to tbo United States nonl-
tentlary at Sioux Kails. Judge Dundy has de
cided to await Instructions In this case , how
ever , In order to give these who want Mosher
con 11 n oil at Lincoln a chunco to accomplish
tholr end If they can.
HIMV Ho Fnccul the Muilc.
Mr. Moshor and his attorney vforo at the
government building nt nn early hour yes
terday and it was evident from the earnest
consultation that was going on between
District Attorney Baker rind Moshor's ' attorney -
tornoy , Mr. Whedon , that the case had
about reached a focus. There were but few
people about the court room , however , ex
cepting these who are regularly employed
there and a few attorneys who bad business
in court ,
Very soon after Judge Dundy had opened
court , at 10 o'clock yesterday , Mr. Mosher
and his attorney , accompanied by District
Attorney Baker , entered the court room.
The bank wrecker looked somewhat paler
than usual , and when ho had taken a
scat by the attorney's table near the bar
ho placed his hand against his face and dis
played signs of nervousness in biting his
lips and linger nails. Ho watched every
movement of Ills attorney and of the district
attorney , but- < rave no indication that
ho was liable to break down.
The district attorney finally arose
and addressing the court said : "In the case
of the Uniteu States against Charles W.
Mosher , your honor , the attorney for the
defendant in formes mo that ho is ready to
plead guilty to certain counts In the indict
ment provided that other counts are dis
missed. Wo have agreed upon this matter
and only want a few minutes in which to
prepare a verdict. "
T\vo Indictment Consolidated.
Judge Dundy asked if the district attor
ney intended to raako ono verdict take cnro
of the charges in both indictments or if ho
would brim ? In two verdicts. The attorney
said that the two indictments had been con
solidated for trial I'.nd ho supposed that ono
veraict could bo drawn so that it would dls-
pose of the charges in both indictments.
Judco Dundy cautioned the attorney to bo
careful about the matter , and the two attor
neys and. the bank wrecker withdrew.
Other matters occupied the attention of the
court for twenty minutes , when the de
throned "Napoleon of linanco" and the attor
neys again appeared and announced that
they wore ready to proceed with a disposi
tion of the case. District Attorney Baker
then stated that it had been agreed that the
two counts found against Mosher in the
first indictment should bo dismissed and
that ' the accused would plead guilty to
counts 2 , 3 , 0 , 7 , 11 , 1 , 10 , 81 , 22 , 23 and 24 in
the second indictment , and not guilty to
counts 1 , 4 , G , 10 , 12 , 14 , 15 , 17 , 18 , 18 , 20 , 2. > ,
20 , 27. 23 , 2'J and 0. In short , the counts to
which the prisoner pleaded guilty -wore
these Iu which ho was charged with the
falsification of the records of the bank , and
these in which ho pleaded not guilty were
those in which ho WHS charged with embez
zlement , misapplication of funds , etc.
Moshcr's attorney w.is asked if this was
the ' plea that ho wished to enter for his
client , and ho replied that it was. The ver
dict was passed over to the jury , was signed
by the foreman and read by the clerk. Then
there came a moment of suspense that must
have tried the nerves of the bank wrecker.
Nbthmg'but the scraping of tho. judge's
pen us ho wrote the verdict In t'o record
could bo heard in the room. Mosher sat like
a piece of statuary gazing ut tlio heap of
documents on the table before him.
.Sentence Deferred.
The sentence would como next , that ts
what the spectators thought , but it did not
como. Judge Dundy closed the record and
looking toward the district attorney , ho in
quired if there was any more
business to como before the court.
Acouploof potty criminals , ono of thoin
them an Indian with a sere hand , were
called before the bar anrt , after pleading
guilty to the crime of soiling liquor , were
hustled out of court. Everybody felt sure
that the sentence would then bo pro
nounced upon the prisoner before
the bar , but again the anticipa
tions of the spectators were cul
short. Judge Dundy reached for tits hat ,
and when ho executes thut particular physi
cal mancauver it is always understood that
there will bo no moro court proceedings
until after dinner , or until some other day.
Whothcr it was a play In which some
of the people know tholr parts or not
It would bo difficult to say , but certain It
is that the bank wrecker and his attorney
looked considerably puzilcd. They pro
tended , at least , to appear very much sur
prised , and probably they were , 'but there
uro evidences on the outside that , indicate
quite clearly that Mr , Whedon , at least ,
Know that Mr. Moshor would not receive his
sentence until a later data
Ansluu * to Gut Into .lull. ,
Mr , Mosher cxrressed | his regrets openly
to Tin : BRU reporter thut the mutter hud not
been closed UD right then and thoro.
" 1 have been dragged around like ono of the
chief attractions in a menagerie , " ho said ,
"until I am heartily sick of the whole busl-
I know that T have to servo a number
of years In prison und the sooner 1 got at' it
thu batter. I want to got away from the
whole business and from everybody I know ,
where I can think about something clso
besides the shame and disgrace that is upon
mo.
mo.Thoso men who arc interested in the bank
want me to bo somewhere convenient to
them so they can have my assistance in set-
tllng up the affairs of the b.tnk , and of
course 1 am at the disposal of the court hi
the matter. My own preference would bo to
go Immediately to Sioux Falls , where I will
nave some chance to pot my mind off of the
trouble ami dlsgraco that hits been worrying
mo for so long. "
Wliy Sentence Was Not tasod.
Judge Dundy was soon by THE BKB ro-
portur after ho loft the court room yesterday
and saldt hat he had been requested by cer
tain attorneys to withhold the sentence fora
few days that they might have un oppor
tunity to got an order. from the attorney
general which would permit him to
suud Moshor to the penitentiary ut Lincoln or
some other place moro convenient than
Sioux Falls. Ho said that the bondsmen
would be hold responsible for Moshor until
the close of the present term of court , or
until ho was sentenced. This being the ease | i 1
it was not necessary that the sentence should
bo pronounced at onco. , IdI
The penalty attached to the crlmo of falsi I-
fying national bank records Is confinement
in the penitentiary for a term not shorter )
than live years. While the Judge gave tote
indication as to whether ho intended to
make It moro than that , it is generally
understood that the sentence U not likely to
bo much over flvo years.

PARADISE
Now York n Good 1'lnVe , for Lmryor.l Who

This is what the Ituryor said when tlio

the light wns dim , writes a Now York
correspondent of the IMttaburg Dispatch.
"Yes , Now York is tlio parmliso o ( law

uinicult for n limn to got started , but
success brings n compotonoo nt onco/
Do/.ons ( of Now York lawyers have in-
CO of over $100,000 n year. They nro

theatrical work , their imtnos got into ,

rule. ; You'll find a good many quiet old

Ingorsoll's ' is trilling compared with
some , yet not bad : .Corporation busi
ness is very attractive. I know of a
firm whoso gross income iu n year is
$250,000. Allowing n fair sum for olllco
rent , clerks mid typewriters , and a liberal -
oral slice for the junior partners , that
loaves well over $100,000 for the head of
the firm. And your readers wouldn't
rccogni/.o this name if you told it lo
them. No , the men who pot into court
in the causes colebro and have their
names in the papers aren't the men who
earn the monoy. For instance , some of
the best incomes uro made by Brooklyn
firms tnnt have the management of fat
estates , and got the reputation of con
servatism. Bourke Cockrnn is an exception -
coption to all rules. His income is
enormous. The place for a lawyer is
where the money is. "
Marrloii In u Wagon.
The other day ns Dr. Field was riding
out into the country , says the Sheridan |
Sun , ho met a wagon load of our coppor-
colored follow citizens from the reserva

driver. "Two of these folks hero , "
jerking his thumb ever his shoulder
toward n sheepish-looking halfbrcod

"How much money have you got ? "
asked the doctor pensively , as ho reined
in his horse.
"I got $3 , judge , " answered Peter Ar-
quetto , the intending bridegroom.
"Fork it ever , Mr. Arquotto , " said
the doctor , his face beaming kindly with
mngcstorinl grace. j"Tho money in

A Sermon Hoard Tor Klchty Mllos.
Boston Globe : The Rov. George N.
Howard , D.D. , of Lowell , whom I met
in this city the ether evening , had a
unique experience two years ago , when
ho was a delegate from this state to tlio
national convention of the Sons of VcVt-
orans. Now England sent a largo dele
gation to Minneapolis. The delegates
tra\-eled in two special cars and made a
very jolly party. Sunday found the
party on the road , and it was suggested
by some ono that it would bo a proper
thing to hold some kind of religious
service. The matter was brought to Mr.
Howard's notice , and ho immediately
approved of it. An extemporaneous
choir was organized , and one of
the musicians of the party took
his station at the piano in ono of the
tars. The occupants of the ether cars
were notified of what was about to take
place , und by the time that everything
was in readiness the car that had been
chosen as a chapel was filled to the
doors. The train hands and even the
porters took their places amony the rost.
The service was an interesting one , and
Mr. Howard preached nn eloquent ser
mon. From the time that ho boean to
speak till the time ho had finished the
train had mudo a run of over eighty
miles. From that day to the present
Mr. Howard has claimed to bo tlio only
living clergyman who has preached a
sermon that was heard for eighty miles ,
uiuMiis friends are fond of referring to
him as the "champion long-distance
preacher of America. "

Upon the convening of court yesterday
Attorney llltt was brought before Judge
Walton by Deputies Courtney and
Bennett , and ns be stood In front
of the railing the Judge took occa
sion to read this lecture : "Mr. Illtt ,
you stand hero charged with contempt ot
court. The contempt consists In tills , that
Friday afternoon when you wont upon
the witness stand in your own behalf In the
case of Ultt against IlUt , you were In a
drunken condition , Doing so drunk that you
could not testify Intelligently. Noticing
your condition I told you that the case would
bo continued , nt the same tlmo request
ing you to vacate the witness chair. You
refused to vacate , saying that you wanted to
argue the case with mo. Then 1 called the
bailiff and told him to r em eve you from the
room , but you refused to go until put out by
force. After that you returned to the
court room and in a drunken manner tried to
argue with mo until I was again compelled
to order ' you put out. At that time you ro-
fuscd'to go and resisted the officer by push-
lug him aside. This was a contempt of the
court and to say the least was very ungentlemanly -
manly conduct. You are an attorney at the
bar , which fact I did not know at tlio tlmo
when you wont Into the witness box. This
makes the case moro serious , ns Instead of
bciuc tbo worst , you should be ono of the
best citizens. 1 cannot overlook your con
duct , but must do something to make you a
better citizen , and something that will bo an
example to others.
"Huvo you anything to say , Mr. Illtt. why
sentence should not bo imposed. "
In reply Illtt said that when ho was In the
witness box ho was so drunk that ho did not
know j : what ho was doing. In fact ho could
not remember that ho had been In the court
room and used offensive language. Ho said
that ho was ready to apologizes and in pass
ing scntcnco ho hoped the court would take
into consideration that ho was so intoxicated
that ho was not responsible for his nets.
"Boing drunk is no excuse , " replied Judge
Walton , "as-it is n condition that you volun
tarily brought upon yourself , und In this
cnso I shall line you $50 and the costs. You
will stand committed until ttiis line is paid
and if you conclude not to p.iy the money ,
you will bo sentenced to hard labor until the
term of imprisonment is expired. Shoulo
you refuse to work , tuun you will bo put
upon a broad and water diet. "
Hitt was of the opinion that ho did not
want to join the chain paug and , hastening
to the olllco ot the clerk of the district court ,
ho contributed the . " .mount , which aggre
gated fOl.fiS , after which ho went his way ,
remarking that this was a poor city to fur
nish enjoyment when a man wanted to have
a llttlo amusement.

Never until yesterday has a member of the
Douglas county oar been compelled to sur
render his shcop skin and walk out of the
court room , a disgraced and branded man.
When Judge D.tvis called court yesterday
afternoon there was a small , but very select
and Interested audience , consisting of the
judge j , three lawyers and a BEE man. Ono of
the lawyers was Frank li Munn , who has
been charged with being n party to a num
ber of very questionable escapades , but who
has 1 ; always escaped punishment owing to the
fact thut he was a member of the bar , but ho
will escape no moro.
During the February term of the district
coui't Munn was the attorney in a case , and
during the trial it developed that there was
a false and frandulent affidavit pre
sented m the interest of Munn's client ,
became npnarent that some person had com
mitted perjury , and upon an investigation it
w.ts proven that Munn was the party who
secured the paper , knowing at the time that
the nfliunt had committed tbo crlmo of
swearing falsoly.
The matter was taken hold of by Judge
Davis and the decision was held in obeynnco
until this afternoon , when Munn was called
before the judicial throne and informed of
his fate. In passing upon the mutter ,
the judge said ; "There is no need of going
over all of the facts , ns they are known to
you. I have hoard the testimony and have
taken it nil under advisement ; I have con
sulted with the ether members of the bench
and the whole court demands that you bo
disbarred. They have all agreed to this
and I have been Instructed to inform you of
the find ing. "
Munn stood It ItUo. a man and when it was
nil over ho Insisted that no wanted his
attorney present that ho might file an excep
tion in order to take an appeal to the
supreme court.
Ho was informed that ho could have half
an hour to lllo his exception , but thut the de
cision would not bo modltlcd , ns all of the
charges cited in the information had boon
sustained by an nbuuclanco of testimony.
Knjulnlne City 1'uvliitf.
The question of whether or not Deles P.
Beard could tie up all of the paving in the
city came up for hearing In Judge Walton's
court yesterday , and after being argued
by the attorneys was taken under advise
ment , the point being as to whether the
temporary restraining order should bo dis
solved or made permanent.
Beard's attorney contended that the prop-
crty owners had never boon invited to sign
a petition asking for the creation of pavinir
districts ; that the water , gas and sewer
connections along the streets
which it was
Intended to pave had never been made and
that the council had advertised
for bids for >
paving before consulting the property own
ers as to whether or not they wanted the
streets paved.
City Attorney Council admitted tlmt it was
true that the property owners had not been
consulted as to the udvlsabllty of creating
the districts , and that such u thing -was un
heard of In the of tlIO
history any city in the
land. If such a course was pursued none of
streets would ever be paved , In reviewing
the case ho expressed the opinion that the
asphalt companies were behind the injunc
tions and proposed to prevent the Improve
ment of all streets In the city , provided they
were not given the work ,

The case of the State of Nebraska against

This case is brought to recover the sum of
(2.10,301 of state money which was on deposit
in thu Capital National bank when that in-
inst
stitution went to tno wall , and is against
Hill and his bondsmen. The attorneys for '
Hill argued that tholr client was not liable ,
as both ox-Governor Thayer and ox-Gov
ernor Boyd know that the money was de
posited there , und that knowing the fact
they approved his bond. They also raised
the point that owing to the fact that tlio
money having been deposited in a bank In
Lancaster county and the failure having
occurred in that county the courts of Douglas
county had uo jurisdiction.

cuter Cochran said : "Tho way vagrants

caused a decided fulling off in the number
arrested , and I think It is a good thing this

committing of numerous petty i-rimes. " Con
