( Special. ) Arguments ' - In the Moore case were resumed at 8 o'clock this morning. Coliny : Attorney Mungcr con tended that It was the duty of the court to BO decide this case that the matter would come before the supreme court. The ctatutca charge the auditor with keeping of all pub lic tncncyn received "In any manner. " Reed , attorney for Moore , declared that the state charged a crime not recognized by the otatutc under which the Information was brought and n man Innocent of such charge should not be sent to the penitentiary to gratify political aspirations of a few pcrsoce. It WSB averred that Kugene Moore was mor. ally guilty , but the case was not being tried ' on morals. Attorney General Smyth said the case was remarkable In that the defense admitted guilt , but asserted Moore was not charged under the right section. The fitate took the stand now and always that "Kugene Moore Is cither guilty under the ccctloa' under which the Information was brought , or else he should be discharged. If the money he took belonged to the state he should bo con victed. " Catcs were cited wherein the supreme premo court decided that when moneys are collected under a certain law the constltu- iionmuy 01 mat law cannot DO attacKca when the person Is called to account for money collected thereunder. Further argument will be made next Tucs. day evening at 7 o'clock. LINCOLN LOCAL NOTES.

( Special. ) The celebrated Crawford ditch case which has been on trial hero before Judge Kl > akead ft/r the past ton days W.JB brought to a sudden close last evening. The court held that It bad no original jurisdiction to try the Irri gation rights between the respective parties , but that they must first be tried before the State Iloird of Irrigation which alone had original Jur'edlctlon. The court also held against the Crawford company , whose coun sel , Judge Hamer , contended that the leg islative act creating the Irrigation board as n court was unconstitutional. The court further held that Inasmuch as 't ' had no jurisdiction over the irrigation rights It could not assume jurisdiction to determine the frci-criptlvo and riparian rights of the defendant I.croy Hall , holding In this par ticular against the contention of Judge Max well , counsel for Hall. The court illtoolved the temporary Injunc tion obtained by the Crawford company , rp- etratamg Hall from disturbing the ditch and dam of the company , while the temporary Injunction oblalned by Hall against the Crawford company restraining the latter from diverting the water from White river above Hall's dam was fur the time being al lowed by the court to stand. At the request of the Crawford company the superscdeas bond was llxed nt $3.000. This praellcally gives the Crawfofd company the use of all the water In the river , pend ing apjeal , which Is cccifldered by the olll- ccrs of the company as a valuable privilege during the coming winter , giving them I > lo-ty of water to flood the landa alone th'j ditches , besides filling their extensive lakes and reservoirs. Judge Ilamer announced that he should Immediately move to have 'the case advanced on the supreme court docket. The trial of the case will be commenced anew on the inth lust , before the State Hoard of Irrigation , ofter which It will go to the district coun and bo tried there on appeal.

( Special. ) District court of 1'helps county Is now In tea- slon and the case of I'helps County against The Holdrcge Notional bank and Us bonds men. R case brought under the law with reference to the depositories of county treas urers , .liaa been on trial for the last two days. There were fifteen mines attached to the bond Htitd on , the Holdregc National bink having failed. At the tlmo ot the failure of tiic bank the county attorney at the time being the lepil adviser of moat of the bonds men organized a corporation called the Funk Land and Live Stock company , which cm- braced1 amotit ; Its members most ot the good men financially solvent who were on the bond. The purpose of the organization waste to place all of the property , both pertonal and real , In the corporation und then by a simple shifting procets of the stock , keep any and all creditors from collecting any debts from the members of the corporation. After the county attorney l.ud all of liln cli ents fixed to his entire satisfaction he then brought suit against them on the depository bond for the county. The action was brought In 1S95 , but has been dragging alonj > ind trial was just had at the present term of court. The defense made by the bondsmen was that the signatures were procured on the bond by the olilclals of the Holdregc National bank , who were W. F. and J. 1' . Hymcr , by fraud. The bond sued on was u typewrit ten Instrument written on two pieces of legal typewriter paper , which were pasted together at the ends , this making a complete contigu ous Instrument Instead of being fastened to gether at the lop , as in most all ordinary legal documents , and all of the bondsmen uilli on exception swore that the top half of the bond was not attached to tiic piece of paper which bore their signatures. One of the bonJsmen s'.voro that the bond was preserved to him by W. P. Hymer , who represented that It was a church subscription paper , and one of the bondsmen denied .bis signature and claimed It was a forgery. The evidence of the Hymcrs was not pro cured and the case went to the Jury , prac tically on t4io evidence of the bond men. The ( use was given to the Jury about 8 o'clock Thursday evtnlng and Friday morning the Jury brought In a verdict for the county In the sum of )4,322 , that being In full of all claims and demands made by the county. The next question that presents Itself Is how to collect the Judgment. A suit will have to be brought dlSEolvlng the Funk Land and Live Stock company anil then a bill of equity will have to be Instituted by the county to subject the property to Uic pay ment of the debts of the Individual members composing nime.

The court requested him to cover two points not argued by the county attorney of Holt county. The approval of the Scott bond out of time and the estoppal o sureties are too two questions wntcn the su preme court deslies the attorney general to argue. The Scott case is considered of grea Importance by the legal fraternity and the public , because It Involves the same joint which will come before the court In the cas of ex-State Treasurer Bartley and his bonds men. OlHclal bonds In both eases were ap proved out of time. The Bartley bond wa approved January 9 Instead of January 3 and the Scott bond.

Harrlton Given of Denver wns arrested at his Jiotel In this city last night and was charged as a fugitive from justice. Ho will be held to await the action of the Colorado authorities , where ho Is wanted on a serious charge. The complaint alleges that Given made an attempt on the life of his wife about three weeks ago and only failed because - cause of the Interference of a passerby who rushed intn thn hnnso. In speaking of the matter Mr. Given said that ho was a traveling man and had come to this city to see certain contractors. He stated that ho had lived uneventfully with his wife until about a month ago , when he says that , returning late one night , he met a strange man emerging from the house. He claims that the man took a shot at him aril that ho reciprocated , when the stranger dis appeared In the shrubbery. From that time Given states that his life was unhappy and that his numerous quarrels with his wife so discouraged him that he drank heavily. Going borne In an Intoxicated condition shortly afterward Given felt In such a violent niowl that he entered his wife's room ami tried to shoot her. The first shot missed the mark and the prompt passerby prcventeO the second. Given freely admits the cir cumstance , but states that he was nearly crazed by the belief In his wife's infidelity. The fact that Given was not master ol himself was evidenced by several letters among his effects which are Incoherently worded. One Is to the effect that the writer was on the poliU of self-destruction and the contents were a last nifSfeage to his wife. It was addressed to "Maude , My Wife , " and j continued to the effect that Given believed j himself nearly Insane from the mental strain which wan upon him. He stated that he had often of late considered suicide , but that ho now believed that he was sunicleiKtly deter mined to carry It out. The note ended with an expression of foreglvcneas and an appeal to the woman to lead a better life for the sake of her father.

CHIEF OF DETECTIVES SURPRISES BOARD HH Application for Itiglit to A in end 1IU I'l-tltlou I.uailN JiulKf Scott to Decide to Co Into \VhoIu CIIHC. i The case of W. W. Cox , chief of detectives , against the members of the Fire and Police commission of the city of Omaha Is on. be fore Judge Scott of the equity division of the district court. Cox rcfllstlng the efforts of the commission to remove him from the position which he Insists that he holds and from which he has never , so he alleges , been legally removed. The ease was on dur ing the entire morning , but most of the time was exhausted by the lawyers In spar ring for points. Cox alleges that iaet August the commis sioners removed him from the police force of the city ami that In doing so they ex ceeded their duty , in that he was not accorded a fair and Impartial trial. He also charges that the l-'lre and Police commis sioners conspired with the chief ot police and that the first step In getting rid of him was to compel him to accept a leave of absence of llftecu days duration without pay. pay.At At tha morning's session of the court Cox , through his attorneys , asked Icavo to file a supplemental petition , setting up the facts as he understood them , and after the Injunction Issued after hlu removal occur red. The right to illo this supplemental peti tion was contested by the board and on this question , argument continued during a greater portion of the morning session of the court. Attorney Day for the Flro and 1'ollco Com missioners intimated to the court that the proceeding might be shortened If the court would rule upon the sufficiency of the charges originally preferred against Cox , that he was negligent in the dlnchargo of his dutlra as a police otllcer of the city. Judge Scott Intimated that he would go Into the whole matter , and that If he found that the plaintiff was removed for polit ical reauons ho would continue the Injunc tion against the commlfcsloncrH. I1BQIN TAKING TESTIMONY. At the afternoon session of the court Clerk Welshans of the Fire and Police commission was called to the stand In behalf of the plaintiff. He identified the rrcrrfr ) of the commission and mated the date when Cox was removed. Attorney Olmstcad , for Cox , testified that ho was at a meeting cf the commission when Cox was discharged anil aske.l to be allowed to file except tors to the findings , Hu said that ho was Informed that no exceptions wculd bo allowed , as the decision of the boird was final and not subject to review. The witness averred that Commlesloner Herd- man had said to him : "If Cox doin not like the way In which beas removed from the police force wo will Illo other charges , as we hive made up our minds that ho 'must go and we propose to get Hd of him. " The wit ness also testified that Commissioner Dullard had raid in his presence : "Tho members of the board have decided to gel Cox off I ho force and he may as well submit. " W. W. Cox was called nml after reviewing his record ca an officer told of the politics of the various members of the board. A10:13 this line ho said : "Gregory Is sometimes a frea silver republicnn , sometimes a pcpullst and sometimes a democrat ; Peabudy Is some times a populist , or he may bo a free silver democrat or a republican : Dullard U a dem ocrat , but he fusts with the populists and the frco silver republicans , I am a gold repub lican and none ot the members of the board are of my political party. " The witness testified that ho knew Ezra H. Hemming and knew that be had beep recognized an rhlef of detectives by the board and that be Yii performed tbe dutletf of the office.

" "Who Is Charles Fanning ? " asked Judge Scott. I "A party who was supporting Howcll for ( mayor and who was also helping to manage the fusion campaign. " answered the witness. The defense fought to have the answer etrlrlcen out , but Judge Scott ruled that If politics entered Into the case he wanted to ' know the facts. | On cross-examination Cox testified that he did not know the class of political work that Savage was assigned to perform , but he know that at the time he was doing this work he was on Ihe city pay roll. Witness testified that he had talked with I lord man about doing some work for Howell during j the campaign , but had never concluded any , jof i the details. He knew early lant spring' ' I I that he was to be discharged as chief of | detectives and attributed the cause to the | fact that he was considered an offensive politician.

Th > winner of the mnjorlty oC thorn Is the winner of the mutch , which Is what l called match play. In mediil play the score Is reckoned by the number of strokes It takes to make all of tin- holes u given num ber of times. The game Is confined to no certain iige , old and young alike playing . It. There Is no racing or effort to nccom- , ; pll.sh n hole In less time than ono'B opponent - j nent ; on the contrary , a good golfer r.Ull take time to play each strode carefully , for the beauty of HIP whole game consists In dealing .skillfully with the ball as one may tltid It. To a spectator , or one who h s never played the pump , It looks slow , too much like taking a walk , with the diversion , ns an incident , of hitting a ball along the ground. Kroni this point of view It lacks Interest and the spirit of the contest and. to normIt even looks selllsh. The truth or the matter , howivi-r , Is tlmt these crltl- clHins are not founded on fact. Hitting a ball along tln > ground l.s not golf ; no greater mistake could lie imagined , Nor Is golf , selfish to those who understand the Idea. -t of the game. It In a game of skill. Endur ance comes In an a useful factor.
