SNAGS STRUCK AT EVERY TURf I.uU-Mt I'liui lii to Wall Until llroiXel In IiiHdillcil AVIu'ii lie .flitAII - Ihe lloiiil Stntiitc 1)1111- It Is understood that A. Q. Edwards ani his friends have veered Into a new tack or the city treasurer question. My this actlor they hope to steer clear of n fight In thi courts with doubtful prospects of success ntu succeed In establishing Edwards In office without Invoking the old of any higher ln > strumentallty than the ninyor nml council of Oinnha. This has no reference to the present administration , but the remit IE looked for through the aid of the Droatch regime , \vhlch will assume control of city affairs on January 7. The prospective policy of the treasurer- elect Is Indicated by the fact that the man damus proceedings which had been previ ously arranged for have been allowed to rest and the- members of the combine are apparently proceeding on the assumption that they will have the game In their own hands by simply waiting until the gang comes Into full control , backed by a mayor who Is ready to lend his official authority to the further ance of Its schemes. GAME OP 1JLUFF. There Is every Indication that the members of the combine were thoroughly Informed as to the fact that the council had no right to review the action of the mayor In refusing to approve Edwards' bond , but hoped to bulldoze the matter through In a round nboiit way. In addition to the usual action of approving the bond , the majority In the council passed a concurrent resolution In which the ap proval of the document was again declared. Hut the mayor also had his eyes open and refrained from recognizing the right of re view of the council by vetoing cither the resolution or the bond. Instead he re turned a communication In which ho simply gave the reasons why he had not approved the bond , and another communication In which ho Informed the council that the ap- pioval of the bond was not a proper subject for n concurrent resolution under the pro visions of section 127 of the charter , and for the further reason that he had not approved the bond referred to therein. While the council assumed to regard these documents as vetoes and proceeded to enact the farce of approving the bond and passing the resolution over the allegsd vetoes , Its members ara not altogether easy In their minds as to the probable result. Anxious to avoid an appeal to the courts If possible , they have determined that the easiest \\ay out of the difficulty Is to wait until Broatch Is mayor , then hove him sign the bond as his first official act and thus allow Edwards to : ake possession of the treasurer's office within a few hours after the mayor Is Installed. This scheme Introduced one or two nddl- ilcnal legal complications which are likely to effectually block the plans of the combine. Section 5 of chapter xx of the Compiled Stat utes says : "Official bonds , with the oath endorsed thorcou , shall bo filed at the proper offics within the times as follows : Of all officers elected at any general election on or before ; he first Thursday after the first Tuesday In January next tnicceedlng the election ; of all appointed officers within thirty days after their appointment ; of oIDcsrs elected at any special election , and city and village officers , within thirty days utter the canvass of the votes of the election a ( which they were chosen. " WOULD WAIT FOR BROATCII. Basing Ills claim'en the. last clause of this section , Edwards takes the position that the matter of the approval of his bond can be allowed to rest until after the new adminis tration Is Installed. The canvass of the voter was completed on the evening of Tuesday. November 12. Consequently ho had until midnight last night to file his bond. The bond was approved by the council Tuesday night , and , regsrdless of the fact that It did not ) ear the signature of the executive officer of ho city. It was filed with the cty ! clerk and at midnight on the same evening Edwards , ook the oath of office In the private office of City Clerk Hlgby. But there is a subsequent section In the nine chapter of the statutes which Is cal- ulatcd to materially conflict with the plans of the combine. This Is section 11 , which ays : "The approval of each official bond bhall b3 ndorsed upon such bond by the officer ap- irovlng the same , and no bond shall be filed or recorded until so approved. " This section distinctly declares that the bond cannot be legally filed until after it ms received the signature of the * officer authorized to endorse It , which In this In- tance Is clearly the mayor. This being the aso , the policy of the combine If followed out , Is not unlikely to raise th& question whether or not Edwards has not entirely ailed to qualify within the period preserved > y law and thus lost his title to the office. 'he law provides that the present treasurer vould hold over until such time as the office was filled by a special election , < he Mllng of which would bo discretionary with he mayor and council. Edwards himself refuses to disclose his plans of procedure further than to remark hat 'there Is no necessity for taking any cgnl action. He says that ho will proceed according to legal advice , but In what dlrec- lon that advice IB likely to lead him ho Is not wllllim to say. _ Uritkou Out ivlth Iloll * .

Cl.nmoil with i\trncrtliiK the * OoiilrntH of I.Piter * Jft the .MnMil. Judge Dundy'g court .was crowded yester day , standing room even being at n pre mium. The attraction was the case of the government against Helix Murray , a railway postal clerk , charged'with stealing the con tents of divers letters .which passed through his hand ? . Murray was arrested' ' at his home In Mis souri Vollfy some , months ago and brought to this city. He was arraigned before United States Commissioner .E _ S. Dundy , Jr. , who bound him over In the sum of $1,000. C. V. Gallagher went security and he was releassd. According to the testimony of Postofllcc Inspector specter Sinclair , who worked up the case , a trivial clrcumstanc ? afforded the first clew to Indicate to the mind of the Inspector that Murray wa < stealing the Nebraska relief let ters going to C. C. I'ond nt Ewlng. Decoy letters were mailed from this city to Pond , arranged so ns to catch Murray's run. Thi letters failed to reach their destination. Mur ray was ordered under arrest and ho was taken while asleep 'n ' his bunk In his car. A thorough search was made and CO cents of the marked money was found In his pocketbook - book and n $5 bill In a paper sack , hidden under Ms cot. In Its opening statement the defense staled that It would not only prove that Murray was not guilty of theft , but that the charg.'s against him were made through a conspiracy to ruin hlnl and secure his discharge. It was stated that shortly before hlo arrest Murray had secured a promotion which an other party desired. It was affirmed that Inspectors Sinclair and Deebe were In the cot.tplracy and the party who secured the position that Murray lost Is nn Intimate friend of Inspector Sinclair. His name Is Gannon.

" This remark was made by George Morgan this morning to one of his Jailers and It Indi cates his apparent feeling and behavior when ever the Jailers visit his cell. He remains as Indlffeient an ever , but does not appar ently care to talk about his case. When ever the guards are about he whistles and appears to bo In good spirits. It Is ths opinion of some of the other prisoners In the jail , however , that this Indifference Is entirely assumed. "He won't be very cool when he gets on the gallows , " said one of them this morning. "It's all put on now and It will be all gone when he goes to the scaffold. They tell me that when he went Into Ihe court room during lily trial he was remarkably cool and collected. He's that way now when the Jallera are around , 'but It's different when they ar2 > not , and It was different all the tlmo he was In the Jail. He was always nervoui and ho is nervous now when he Is alone with the prisoners. " However that may be , Morgan apparently keeps his nerve and Is entirely unconcerned. The only thing that appears to bother him now Is the fact that he has neither pip ? , smoking or chewing tobacco. WJUSTS' ' KXVMIi !

NUMBER OF PARTIES ARE INTERESTED Money mill .leuelry In the llntulx ol tlu Comity .Inline Wlio In Tr > liiK to .Make a < Dlvlolon. The very short visit of Harvey L. Barnes and William Foster , the two bnnk swindlers who were In Omaha only two days last Sep tember before they were landed In Jail , fur nished the bnsls for considerable legal con troversy. This Is duo to the fact that when they left the city they left behind some $1,300 , besides watches and jewelry , for which ihcre are- several clalmanls. A couple of days after the two swindlers arrived In Omalm they attempted to work their game at one of the banks. This con sisted of checking agalnsl a. deposit which had been made the day before , but which In the menntlme had already bEen all drawn out. The check that they presented In this In stance wns for something like $700 , when In reality they did not have $70 In the bank. The paying leller was foxy , however , and as a result the two men soon found themselves In jail. As soon as the men were arresied Iholr descrlpllon and the manner of their game were wired to the principal cities of the country. A number of answers were re ceived , among them one from Kansas Clly and another from Milwaukee. In the former city the two men had swindled the Union Nallonal bank oul of belwc3n $600 and $700 and In the latler place Iho Flrsl National bank had been worked for about the 1x1111 ? amount. At Ihe time of their arrest there were found on the persons of lh men nboul $300 and some watches and Jewelry and It was later discovered that they had a deposit of $1,000 In the First National bank. This reachei the ears of lawyers and In a short tlmo th prisoners had all kinds of legal Inlenl ofterc Ihem. They picked oul Ihe attorneys the wanted and Ihen spent their money Ilk princes to get out of jail. Habeas corpus one other proceedings were brought , but they availed naught and In a few days the me ; were tBKen to Kansas City for trial. Before going the prisoners gave Attornej DeBord n check for $1,000 on Ihelr deposit In the First National bank. When an effort wa made to cash the check It was found tha garnishment proceedings had been brought by the Kanius Clly and Iho Milwaukee banks to get posseFslon of the money In order thai they might bo recompensed for the amount the ; had been swindled out of. An effort was then made to replevin the $300 and the watches left with the police , but again Ihe banks stepped In , as Ihere was nol enough In Ihe deposit In the bank to satisfy Ihelr claims. As a result of this entanglement all the money that Barnes and Foster brought to the city was turned over to the county judge to bo distributed as might be thought proper A number of suits were brought and the wheels of justice were started , but they die not get Into full relation until yesterday.
