- Perhups the best plan to settle the controversy -
troversy Is for the city attorney to move

and proceed to take charge of the Illant
by condemnation. Unless the recel\.rs
show a dlslJOslton to eomilly with the contract -
trot It Is evident that the city wi be
force to talc this acUon. Such action
would save muny thcuaUI dollars annually
to the city , und the Indirect saving In the

A religious war las broken out , In a small
way , among. the citizens or Floreiice and a
lively contest Is promIsed to take Illace In
time distrIct court In a few days over the
title and possession to a plat or laud In Plor-
euce.
The mater has progressed so far that time
contestants are beginning to get decllelly
warm , all are baul'lng allegations or fraud
a 11 mnisreltrezentations . The latest develoll-
mlnt Is the filing or au answer hy the Ryan- I
gelcal associaton as a reply to the Petition
of time Church or Christ. The later , some
mouths ago , appealed to the curt for the
purpose or getting a clear title to lot I. t

alleged Robert W. Cowin amid his wife hal
secured title to In their own names , although
the funds for making the purchase had been
advanced hy liberal hearted m.tmbscribera .
I Is nileged that In the sprIng of last year
the Church or Christ was a church ful or
relgious zeal but rather weal In numbers.
Propositons were exchanged by the members
or time varIous religious sects to build mimi
edifice for general use. : Ieetugs were calicO
and the mater talked over until the requIsie
degree of Iuthuslasm was attained . where-
Ullon ) subscriptions were sthrted . so It Is
claimed. Cowin made a deal wih VIctor G.
Langtry for the purchase of the lot Time
price was fixed It $1&0 , one-haIr ot which
was Idvancell by the seler as soon as he
learned of the object or the pumrcimase. Cowin
claims he carried the whole transaction
tr/nsacton
through imintself imowever payIng fmds out
of his own Pocket to make time purchase.
The Church or Christ claims that CowIn was
the treasurer , which he denic . and that he
used Its mouey to buy the land. The story
of CowIn and the Evangelcal neonle Is 10
the effect that Cowin , \lh , ; several others ,
shortly after the purcimase organized the
defendant corporation , and transferred the
property to It. All sumbscriptlomms . I Is further
alleged , were procured with the distinct
aleged procurel distnct understanding -
derstanding that everybody itt Florence was
to share In the rIht to use the relgious
structure to be built. Regarding the plain-
tiff's account of the subscriptions . It Is
further alleged that the people who were In-
luced to set their names down , In some cases
were only prevailed t do so upon fraudulent
representations as to what was the real ob- ,
jeet of time intended purchase.

Time amount or bal WaS fixed It $1.000 In
each case in effort was made to have

In view ot the fact that he Is now under $2,000
bal for other charges In connection ' \lh
the church troubles. Assistant County At-
torney'inters , who was present . was willing
to consent to this , but JUdpe Berka .111 nlt
think that he had the power. as time prllJt

T'sarczl , . tua t men who are working for
him. An effort was loathe to have him HOI
on a bond of 1armlnskl , but ho refusel.
Iarmlnskl and two others were released
I later. The prelminary hearllp or
the case has been set for timis
nftcrmuoomt at 2 o'clock. Assistant ( ounly
(
Attorney Winters wIll look after the Interests
or the slate , whie the Irlsoners will be de
feuded by Attorney lallwln.
I was stated yesterday that one of
the men who Is under arrest Is known to
hlvo purchasell a quantty of kerosene or
coal oil , shortly prior 10 time nre. Time police
refuse to disclose time naimme but I Is statell
rrom a reliable source that such evilence
has been .lscoverell. I Is also clahne that
It wl bo shown that at the tmt when the
church was burne nn effort WIS made to
burn the Ilrsonago across the street. Two-
thirds of the silewall that cOlneeted the
church anti the parsonage was burne" , II-
thouKh at time tmo of time fire the wind was
hlowlni In the opposite . iirectiomm . I Is
clnlmcd that this sidewalk was also satlrted
wIth kerosene.
Another strong point In the evidence Is
said to be the absence of Prank Cherol . a
cousin of Nicholas Cherok , the man who
led the complaints afalnst the Imprlsonell
men. lie left Sheeley last Frily night and
his not returned since. Before he left I
Is clammed that he told I woman that he
Intemlcd to leave the city , as there would
he a good deal of ruture trouble over the
burell church and that he already hall had
enough or it. Joseph ) Inda yesterday said
that Cherol was In St. Louis , hut the Police
claim thlt this Is not so. They say that
they have traced him to Chicago and know
his present street address. I Is understood -
stood that he wl be brought hack to thl
city , but this Is Inother Iolnt ) on which the
10ice are not Inclned to say much.
p
What n 1Ic8 ' 'IJ'
I Is to have strong nerves , and how many
arc denied It. They to whom nature has
been nlggarl In thIs respect can enjoy nerve
vigor und quietude Ir they use Ilostetter's
Stomnch Bitters . one of the finest nervlnes
and tonics In existence. Dyspepsia , a Iro-
Inc source of nerve inquietude Is invariably
overcome by this genial immedlclne which Is
also polent as a remedy for malarial and
kidney trouble and comistipation. .

Shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday morning
Robert Leach , a member of the Gecon
Infantry ban . committed suicIde by blowing
the entre tOIl or his head off wih a sh.l ; n.
The deed was commited on the SI lS In
front of the band headquarters at Fort
Omaha. The suicIde , vas deliberate and
prlmedlate . Leach had taken one or the
shoe strings out of his shoes. One end he
fastene In an eyelet of his right shoe and
the other to the trigger of ( lie gun. He then'
placed time muzzle or the pun In his mouth
and by pushing out his fee ) discharged the
we3pon. Time entire top part of hIs hea,1 ,
was blown off. Time body was guarded where
I hall fallen unti daylight . when It was
prepared for burial. The funeral will prob-
ably take place this afternoon . with interment -
tement In Forest Lawn cemetery.
What caused Leach to commit the deed is
a mystery. He had Intimated to several of
his friends that he intended to end his life
ammO Monday night he bid good by to several or
his commirathes. Nothing was thought of it .
hmowever us he had spol\n of committing
suIcIde 30 ofln before Ho was a man be-
twcen 36 and 40 years old. I Is bald by
some ot hIs frIends that he was slghty
