EVIDENCE NOT DAMAGING.
Inspector l-mulrrRrctiV C'mo llunrcl by tin-
Health llonril Committee. .
The ofilclal Investigation of the alleged
misconduct of Sanitary Inspector Lander-
grch , In threatening members ot the council
In order to obtain an additional" appropria
tion to carry on the work of the Board of
Health , proved to bo a fizzle. The special
committee , consisting of Councilman Bruncr ,
Health Commissioner Savlllo and Chief
Scavey , met In the committee room of the
council yesterday and heard the evidence In
the case and will report the result at the
next meeting of the board.
The man who claimed to be threatened
was Councilman Back , who said that Lander *
gren had approached him In regard to the
matter and had told him that ho would
make the council pass the extra appropria
tion. This was nil the evidence that was
adduced against Landergrcn.
Councilman Howcll said that Landergrcn
had merely talked to him with regard to
the appropriation and had urged the Im
portance of the work ot the Board ot Health.
Jacobsen told a similar story , with the ad
ditional statement that Landcrgrori had told
him that he had no personal motive In
speaking to him In regard to the matter ,
but that he was convinced that the work
of the board was too Important to the
Interests of the city to be allowed to drop
for lack of funds. This ended the Investi
gation and it Is probable that the committee
will recommend that Landergren bo exoner
ated.
Canceled HIIHU'H Contract.
The failure of M. J. Huso to furnish lum
ber of the required thickness for sidewalk
construction has resulted In the action of the
Board of Public Works In canceling his con
tract and the matter will come before the
council for approval next Tuesday night.
Huso submitted a very low bid on wooden
sidewalks when the bids were opened last
spring and the contract went to him without
opposition. Since then the board has found
It Impossible to get any work done by the
contractor. Huso delivered the lumber on
several Jobs , but In each Instance the Inspector
specter decided that It was not two Inches
thick , as required by the contract. Consequently
quently no sidewalks have been built by the
contractor , and something over a week ago
the board warned him that If ho did not
begin the construction of sidewalks according
to contract Inside of a week his contract
would be canceled. The contractor failed to
get action and the threat was made good.
If the action of the board Is approved by
the council they will at once readvertlsc for
bids , and It no bids are received as low as
that on which Huse obtained his contract
they will let the contract and endeavor to
hold Huse and his bondsmen for the differ
ence on the ground that It Is expense In
curred through his failure to carry out his
contract.
The contractor claims that It Is Impossible
at this time to procure lumber of the thick
ness required , but members of the board say
that they have Investigated the matter and
find that the required lumber can be ob
tained , but that It costs $2 more per 1,0,00
feet.

CITED FOB , CONTEMPT. ; , .
MncDoimlil to Answer JuilBo
OucBtloitH Next Tuesday.
Alexander MacDonald , the man who se
cured a garbage contract with the city of
Omaha n few months ago , has been cited to
appear before Judge Fergusbn at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning and show cause why ho
should not be punished for contempt of court.
This is one part of the fight between MacDonald -
Donald and other garbage men , and some
time ago the court granted an injunction
against MacDonald to prevent him from In
terfering with other persons who were re
moving garbage , and to prevent him from
filing complaints against them on the ground
that they were Interfering with his exclusive
contract. Yesterday Judge Ferguson was to
hear arguments regarding the location of a
dump where all the city garbage could bo
deposited , but when the case came up Attor
ney Brent K. Yatcs , who Is representing the
men whom MacDonald Is trying to suppress ,
filed affidavits setting forth the allegations
that MacDonald had violated the court's in
junction by causing the arrest of five men
who were hauling garbage out of the city.
Upon this showing Judge Ferguson Issue'd a
summons for the former garbage contractor.
There may ba another contempt case In
this connection unless the Board of Health
gets a move on itself and locates the dump
batween now and Wednesday night. When
the court set aside the contract which MacDonald -
Donald claims to have had with the city , as
being unjust and Illegal , the Board of Health
was Instructed to locate a dump where all
the city's refuse might be unloaded , within a
reasonable length of time. So far as could
bo learned the board has taken no action in
the matter. Unless lie dump Is located by
Thursday morning the court will have some
thing to say In 'the. matter , as It has been
represented that the board Intends 'dallying
along until the court adjourns for this term ,
and after It adjourns nothing will bo done
In the matter. The attorneys for the then
who are hauling garbage on their own ac
count promise to keep the matter stirred up
until it Is settled , and that before the court
adjourns.

BADLY BEATEN BY FOOTPADS.
Harry McCreary Slugged and Itotibeil In

Harry McCreary was slugged and robbed
shortly after 10 o'clock Friday night near his
residence at Twenty-Fifth and Manderson.
Ills father saw him get oft the car about 10
o'clock , but It , was nearly 11 when he was
found 'unconscious on the sidewalk. His
wlfo heard the groans that led to his dis
covery. His head was cut and bruised In
several places and there was evidence of n
heavy blow across the nose and face. ' The
most serious wound was at the baeo of the
skull and the doctor who was culled to at
tend him stated his belief that the skull was
fractured.
The unfortunate man had not recovered
consciousness ut noon yesterday. When found
his pdckcts were turned Inside out" , and his
watch and what money he had were gono.
That It was the work of footpads thcro Is
not the slightest doubt.
McCicary was struck several blows , but
It Is believed that the first one rendered
him unconscious and prevented any outcry , '
as no sound of , a struggle was liciiril by
any ono In that vicinity. The extent of
his Injury Is not yet known , but his condi
tion Is regarded as critical.

The number of parties who lunch In the

The little spotted fawn , born In captivity
last week. Is "cute , " "lovely , " "sweet , "

The fifty playful prairie dogs that are
so Interesting In their maneuvers attract
great crowds , but sometimes they are "out

them.
No private suits of any particular beauty
have yet appeared on the sands at Courtland :
the color mostly noted so far Is "Courtland

the prominent color of the season.
Among the many private bathing suits
being made up for the season by ladles , who
Indulge qulto frequently when the season

The Independent Workmen of America
will have their' first picnic next Wednesday
at Courtland Beach. They have prepared a
very nice program for the day , all sorts of
panics both for ladles and gentlemen , and all
Who attend will have a good time.
The cool evenings of the past week have
Interfered considerably with the attendance ,
but whenever the thermometer rises and the
weather Is pleasant Courtland always gets
the crowd. . The car ride to the beach Is
one of the most exhilarating In this vicinity.
Today , weather permitting , will probably
bo one of the red letter 'days of the season
at Courtland beach. Two big excursions ,
one on the Missouri Pacific railway from
Crete and Intermediate stations , and another
on- the Union Pacific , will probably swell
the attendance by at least 2,000 over the
usual largo patronage.
The bathing season has hardly opened ;
everybody seemingly , waiting for scorching
hot weather before storting In. But those
who haveMaken a "dip" declare the water
elegant. The fact Is , the management have
put In so many attractions , the patrons are
afraid of losing sight of something If they
go In tlin water.
Several dlfgruntled persons ara mportlns

Fulton Municipal Oas company of Brooklyn
In reducing the prlco of gas to 90 centus per

the suburbs of Boston , and they now an
nounce that on and after July 1 residents

panies doing business In Boston are the fol
lowing , the treasurer of each being F. II.

Oas Light company , Dorchester Oas Light
company , Itoxbury Oas Light company and
the South Boston C5as Light company. J. E.
Addlck , president of the Brooklyn , N. Y. ,
Oas company , Is one of the principal owncra
of all these companies and he Is represented
