FitEMONT , Nov. 17. [ Special to TUB BEE. ]
Prominent republicans of Dodge county
nro circulating a petition to the county cen
tral committee askincr thorn to call a meeting
Tor the purpose of deposing Chairman Ham-
tnond from tbo head of said committee. Trio
petition recites that the chairman Is abso
lutely controlled by corporate influence and
directly against the Interests of the people
nt largo , and that all his efforts as chairman
liavo been put forth to cntmnco the in-
tcicsts of corporations , and that the
late "snap" convention that commenced
the warfare upon Judge Maxwell was
engineered by him. and lhat the con
vention was called regardless of the
sentiment of a majority of the committee
of which ho was chairman. It further re
cites that his ttbusoof tiromlncnt republicans
of Iho county who refused to bo governed
by his dictates during tbo late campaign
cost the party about KOO votes and that
under his administration there is no hope of
bringing the disaffected back lulo the party ,
The putlllon tbcn reviews his career from
the tlmo ho commenced calling the Tribune
until the present. It declares taat ho
lound a united and victorious party , whoso
nomination was equivalent to an elec
tion , but that his bolt of Valentino
tine as the republican organ
of the county and his continual
agitation of prohibition have so reduced the
partv that U now numbers but about ono-
third the voting strength of the county.
It Is also clalired that his abuse of tbe
fanners In the Richards campaign was the
direct cause of the only uomocratio gov
ernor the state of Nebraska ever boasted
being elected. In vlow of all these consider
ations and believing lhat Mr. Hammond's
further service will bo still morodeltimontal
to tbo party the committee is naked to call
a meeting to take action in the premises and
if thought for the bast Interests of the party
to ask Mr , Hammond to stop down and out.

was before the district court yesterday and
the case was taken under advisement until

There are no now dovclopjjonta in the case
of the city .treasurer , only that the more
careful tbo investigation the more errors

and many are under the impression that It
vrlll bo much worse than that.
Mr. Kerno of the Fremont National bank
laid today that us soon as the condition of
the treasurer's accounts was fully Unown ho
would bo asked to resign , aud if ho refused
to do so would bo impeached.

the november term , 1993 , thereof , report as
'allows :
After a thorough examination of thirty-four

There was but lltllo comment on the re

by tbo attitude of tlio respective parties who
said anything toward the parties cbareca.

Henry Chamberlain of \ oed River Is the
plaintiff In a cast ) put"on trial yesterday ,
in vihlch he seeks to recover $14,000 in dam-
aget from , the Middlesex lava Stoctt com' '
, a corporation organized under the
Ranr
iws of Iowa , but vrhoso headquarters are at
ISostcm , Chamberlain alleges that in April ,
Ibirj , ha contracted la writing with O. W.
Mead , tuo tiresUlen'.of the defendant com
pany , for the purchase of 1,000 head of cat
tle , tbcn feeding on a ranch near Carre !
Springs , AVyo. Ho paid 1100 and gave a note
for the balance -about $10,000 signed by
himself and brother. The cattle were to be
delivered in June. Ho alleges mat .Mead , on
his way back to Do um , stopped at Chicago
and * old these * ame cattle to Nela Morm ,
who paid htm fl or 2 more per noad. for
them tban Chamberlain agreed to. Then ou
arriving in Boston uo got the board of tno
company to refuse to ratify his contract with
Cbamberlalu aud the catlle vreru not dell-
crcd. Chamberlain bases the amount of
lamapcs asked for on the profits that bo
ould hare made out of tbe stock , and denies
the contention ol the defense that it was
iccessary for the board to ratify contracts
signed bv Me.id in order to render them
valid. The defense claims that the reason
the conlraot was rejected was because the
company did not bollovo Chamberlain and
his brother were good for JIO.OOO.
John Kobcrtaon Fiends Guilty.
In the federal court yesterday afternoon
John Robertson pleaded guilty to destroying
nail at Asplnwall. Nob. A few months ago
an old sloro building , a part of which was
used for the postofllco , was burned and some
of the ( roods in the store and mall in tlio
wstofllco wore destroyed , Robertson , John
2bbs and William Corey wore trlod in the
itato court for arson and were acquitted.
This makes Robertson's plea somewhat pecu-
iar , but his attorneys advised him that this
was the best way out of It. Uo has been in jail
six months ou account of his connection with
the affair.

"The Knickerbockers" which is a mine of
bright music , cleverly Arranged duos , trios

would have made a reputation alone for any

evening by the "Robin Hood" Opera company

a damp raij upon a not too

became a pall and the opera , had it been Its
