Judge Dunay has the Burlington's appli
cation for an Injunction ngainit the State
Bonidof Transporlallon now under advlie-
jnent , the case having been argued and sub
mitted Tuesday afternoon. The argu
ments were heard in chambers. There
were present Attorney General Hastings ,
Treasurer Barlley and Commissioner Hum
phrey of Iho state board , together with Soo-
rolnry W. II. Dllvvorlh , representing Iho d.e- _
fcnso and Us inlcrcsts , while on the other
Bide were General Manager Holdiego of the
JJ. & M. , General Manager George Harris of
Chicago , general manager of the Chicigo ,
Buillngton & Qulncy , C. J. Greene , T. M.
Marnuotto , Hon. J. M. Woolworlh and Cap
tain Kd Murlln of Supeiior.
As xoon as the matter was taken up ,
Attorney General Hastings moved for a con
tinuance , claiming that ho had received
notice of the proceedings only Monday night ,
nnd that ns the maximum rate bill would
not go Into effect until August 1 , nnd the
Board of Transportation dU not conlomplalo
immediate action nlong the line from which
the plaintiff seemed to anticipate trouble ,
thoio was no need for immediate action.
Mr. Greene contended that if the board
liid not contemplate any immediate action
the Injunction might as well bo gianted now
nx at a subsequent time , nnn the issuance of
the desired writ would huvo a certain moral
effect.
The court said ho had heard very little
nboul thu case , as ho had read but a small
part of the bill filed by the defendant. He
thought the time lor the now law to eo Into
effect was so near at hand that there vv as
very little tlmo for dolny and concluded to
hear what the attorneys had to say about
the granting of the writ.
Mr Gtccnchadtho llrst Inning He out
lined the bill , setting forth the nllcgatlons
nnd Iho grounds on which it was nought to
He-cure the granting of the wiit 'Jho court
called attention to the fact that the plaintiff
did not allege that the defendant members of
the state bo ird were citizens of the state.
Mr. Greene thought the allegation that
they wcie state onicials was sufllclont , but
the court reminded him that the state had a
poveinor a short time ago whoso citizenship
was not so clear ns It might have been for
iillto | awhile nnd suggested that it was
better to allege the citizenship and make
cure.
Mr. Orccuo Kcvlewx tlio lllll.
In reviewing the bill Mr. Giceneheld that
the le i'daturo could not compel n i.illroad
to carry fi eight for less than cost , us that
v irtually meant confiscation of the property
for public uses IIo also cnlaiged on the
allegation that the maximum rate bill
was unconstliullonal because it made ex
emptions in the case of tha Hock Island ,
which luns through much of the same terri
tory ns the pl.ilntlft s road , touching the
same points , and the oil ! therefore
refused the same rights to all ,
contrary lo tlio provisions of the con
stitutions of the stale ana nation. Ho sub
mitted a table of rates , nt > charged in n num
ber of other states similarly situated ns Ne
braska , nnd chnigcd tlmt the ic-
ductlon called for was fully 80 per
cent. IIo road from a report of the
St.ito Board of Transpoitation , made in
'Ib'Jl , holding that the lates Ihcn in effect
weio perfectly J.UBI nnd reasonable , and
could not bo reduced without working a
great Injustice to the business interests of
thoBtntc. He dwelt on thu severe penalties to
be imposed foi a violation of the law , and
set foith the Injustice that would bo woikod
against the faimeis living alon ? the line of
the Hock Iblnnd , which road , ho said , could
cum go as much ns it pleased , ar.d no relief
from Iho extortion could bo obtained such
ns was offeied by the bill to Iho other
fanners of the state along other lines of
railway. lie charged lhat the law wusun
extremely vicious ono , in that it discrimi
nated between the lailroads and the rail
roads sought to bo exempted , and also dis
criminated between Iho eiti/ens living
along thu lines of the two sets of roads.
Mr Maiquutto followed , iinddcclaicd that
the bill was in direct violation of lliecoiifti-
Union of the stale and the United Stitcs , as
b > its teims the compm.v would bo doptlved
of Its lights in couit , in not
being allowed to judicially Introduce
evidence ns to the reasonableness of
Us rates If its piovislons vvoio carried into
effect it would lesult lu a violation of the
constitutional gmiiunty that no one should
lie depilvcd of life , lluuit.v or propelty with
out duo pioccss of law. Men now employed
would have to bo dismissed and the i units of
unemployed men seeking employment would
bo wonderfully Dwelled , vrhito all the dis-
nstcis would como lhat ulwajs follow a
gicat wrong.
Attorney ( ionrrnl HnitliiRt' Itrplf.
Atlornov Geniral Hnsllngs , in behalf of
the defendants , Insisted that thoio was no
need of an Injunction to protect tha
interests of Iho plaintiff , as it had in
ninplo lomedy nt law , and no irreparable
damage could bo caused. Kven if thu board
should go ahead nnd issue the order which
the philntlff alleged It wan nbout to do , It
had novuy of enforcing that order. Touch
ing on the points raised by Iho nt-
tornojs on the dtlior side , ho said
that Iho law was constitutional as it
was passed oy the leglslatuio under the sec
tion of the constitution oxpicssly delegating
that authoi Ity to the law making body. The
leglsiaturn hud said lhat the rales pro-
icilbod were reasonable , and if the plaintiff
could show that they were not , thu com t l.ud
the power to rnlso them lo any URUIO not
exceeding what they wcio on the llrst of thu
ptcsontjear , but this was not Iho Ulbunnl
bofora which Dial matter should ho hoard , ,
ns that belonged to the supiemo coiul of the
state. It was charged that Iho bill passed
by the house was not the name ns the ono
passed by Iho eeiiuto , and llial
the ono signed by Iho governor
was not the same as either of thu others
The uuthoriiy governing iho federal eourls
wan vcty cloaily lo Ihu effect tlmt the slgna-
Hues of the speaker of the house , the picsi- II
dent of the senate nnd thu picsl-i
dent of tha United Stilog , and tlio
proper llliiiK with the scciolary 10f )
Btalo of any bill in congress made
its authentication romplotn. Ho did not >
attempt to niguo the constitutionality of f
thn clause exempting other loads , as itn
vuis clearly established that if n certain
part was unconstitutional it could bo
lluown without in Interfering
out any way 1--
fering with the body of the law. So far
ns iho defendants wcie concerned , they weio
perfeotlv willing to have that clause thrown
out , und make all the roads subject to the
provisions of the bill. Ho understood
that it was tacked on In the senate.
lie also held that the plulntlfls wuio
not depilved of their day in couit ,
und if tuny made a showing lhat would se
cure nn order from iho supreme court re
quiring iho board to rcstoio n porlton of ttio '
old rate and tlio board refused to comply
they would promptly cinch the mcmbcns of
the boird for contempt and hu would expect
to suffer.
lulttm I'lulrriltUoineul. .
Mr. Maniuotto took' another aboil in
ning , and declined lhat If It had nut been
for the coemption clause tlio bill would never
have been naksod , as the Sboit Line
had f i lends In the senate who would
never huvo voted for It unless that road hud
been executed from the provisions of the
bill. IIo denied that this clause could bo
struck out , us it nffcctcd so mo ono , although
if it did not affect any ono It might have
lei-n struck out. He held that the bill would
have \o stand 01 fall as a whole , nnd ho was
vorv much in favor of Us falling.
Numerous authorities were cited by each
of iho lawyeis , nnd nftcr two hours of argu
ment the ciso was submitted , The court
nskcd each Bldo to tend In Its authorities

and s ly they have passed the law and again
ask Iho rate.

About U o'clock yesterday afternoon J. H.
Vlekory , n farm baud , wonting on Porter
Hodman's farm , about ono mile west of Fort
Omaha , observed three men stealing apples
from the orchard about eighty yards from
the house. Ho hastened Into the house , secured -
cured n doublo-birrclcd shotgun , nnd , creep-
lug up on the men , llred nt random in their
dlrootlon. Several howls of pain an
swered the loud report of the gun ,
nnd the thrco men ran down
to the /oad known as Hedmnn avenue. There
they stopped nnd were reinforced by about
ten or twelve more Indlin soldiers. As soon
ns they discovered that High Eagle was
bully wounded they hun led to ward'Vlckory ' ,
who was slowly retiealing toward the
houso.
The threatening aspect of the soldiers
nlnimod the mm so that ho started for
shelter and safety with nil possible speed.
When ho closed and locked the door the
Indians were close at his heels Viekory
was nowthoioughly frightened , as the In
dians had circled around thu house and were
advancing as if to storm the placo. They
gave -vent to their rigo with shouts and
threalencd lo destroy the house unless
Vlckoi'i came out. Several of the Indians
had icvoLvots and weio trying to effect nn
entrance through the front part of the
house.
Vickoiy shoved fiesh cnrtildges in his
gun and checked their tidv.inco by pointing
thu weapon at them and declaring that If
they advanced any further ho would make

Just about this time F. M. Hanson , n
former goveinmcnt scout under Geneial
Miles during the Pine Kidgoagenev troubles ,
came along. IIo inqiihed Into the tioublo
and counseled the Indians to get out of the
yard and let Vickory alone.
Ho told the i oil vv imors that ho vv ould de
liver the man over to the authorities Sev
eral ot the Indians know Ilansen nt the Pine
Hidgo agency and consulted with their coin-
radcs. After much pai ley ing they agreed
to Hnnscn's pioposition , and ho persuaded
Vickory to put dow n his RUII and come out.
'Iho man did so , but no sooner had ho come
out than the excited soldleis made n rush
for him H.inscn stopped between them and
their intended victim , and with the persu
asive inlluence of a piir of icvolvers , ho
made thotn lethe Ho then took Vlckory to
the Shciman avenue car , and in company
with Mr. Kedman they went to the police
station , where the prisoner was turned over
to Captain Cormack.
The man was rather cool and said ho didn't
think ho had seriously wounded any of the
fruit thieves , us ho shot low. He said these
soldicis have been making frequent raids on
Jlho orchard and wore taking a largo portion
"ot the crop. He determined to tnko harsh
measures to put a stop to this petty thieving
and when ho s iw the men in the orchard ho
decided to shoot at them. Ho did so. with
decidedly disastrous icsults.
Vickory was locked. upchargod with shoot
ing with intent to kill. Ho is a tall , slender
man , about ! ( . " > j cars of age. Ho is single ,
aim sajs ho has been voi king for lied man
for about three j ears.

After escaping from the orchard High
Knglo told his companions that he was badlv
huit and sank to the giound in an exhausted
condition. His compinions cairied htm over
to the hospital department ; at the fott and
the army Burgeons made nn examination.
There were thlrty-llvo wounds in his hips ,

w01 o extracted and it was found that they
were No 4 buckshot Seven of them had
penetraled the b ick into the lungs , and tlio

The words wore few , outovervbodi under

lowed the leadei to the crtunty jail , lully a
mile and u quarter distant , through mud
and slush caused by the heavy shower of
today.
The ciowd gained numbers in its long
march , ind befoio the jail was i cached fully
10,000 weio in line , una people were Hocking
Jn from every street , most of them bent on
seeing what was going to be done.
Airivhig at the j ill the mob hesitated , for
they had fotgotten to supply themselves
\v ith sledges and other necessary toojs for
breaking down the doots. Numerous calls
were made for bitteiinit rams , etc . and the
eager crond rushed hither and thither and
was not long in ptocuring the objects
wanted. Then the ie.il uonc began.
Attuikitil the , Tnll.
The jail is a new and massive one and no
one outside of the leaders thought that it
could boentoied by a mob. The cio\vd at
tacked the sides of the jail at once , the one
on the 1101 th side being the nwU
deteiiniiied They Dually batteiecl down
the sheet iron door piotccting the inhiOob.iis
of the ofllcoontianco and then began on the
next obstiuction. At this point Captain
Cicss , * , ho. jailor and his guaids , assisted by
the city police , who \\eio inside , turned a
heavy stteam of w.itnr upon the men bat
tering at the door. Although the foico of

over the entrance affoided the attacking
puty suflleicnt light to woik by , but
suddenly Iho besieged turned off the
light and left things in utter dark
ness Several c-ablo cms were seen
appioachlng nnd the mob made a dash
for them , tearing off the laigo headlights
and bunging them to the aid of the men nt
work at the Uoor. 1'lent.v of light being had ,
the leidt'rs wcnj nt the woik with a will
uiul a few moments later broke do n the

its number vvoio shot , not fatally , how
ever. ' 1 ho officials stopped liring for n mo

llnallv bicaking in the door. The ctoud
rushed in , overpoweicd Ihoguauts ind made
them prUoncis
'Jho jailor would not give up the cell kovs
and the Impatient mob picssed foi wind to

hunted through tlio vast comdoit ) for an

and then having no key they
stalled to hi oak the sttong door. IJ\ this

Ho was asked if ho had anv thing to siy

the Kliaitly wound in his body , ho uid "I
am the man ; I killed him lu nelf-dofense "
Ho was proceeding to speak fuither , when
soinoonociled : 'Hero comes the .patrol' '
It was a falsa alarm , for the police , except
ing those Ipsldo the Jail , did not present themselves
solves at any time , although thu moo oicu
pied thrco hours in getting their victim
The warning cry , however , had its effect
nnd the muideior was suddenly Jerked off of

At last the ropu broke and the bleeding

rather Impracticable , ni everything within
