AS APPEAL TO THE COURTS
Injunction Asked For Against Purchase of
Oakland Avenue Tract.
HIGH SCHOOL SITE IS STILL UNSETTLED
Slni'lc IVIrrion llrliiKH Suit In llcliulf
of lllniNrlf mill OIlHTM , UltliiK
\iiiiicruiiN KFIINOIIN for
III * Action.
Opponents to the Oakland nvcnuo tract
ns the slto for the new High school buildIng -
Ing have appealed to the courts nnd ytgtet-
dny nit-d n petition In the district court ask
ing that the Hoard of Education bo cnjulncd
from completing the purchase of the prop
erty. The validity of the proposed ISPUC of
bonds Is attacked on the ground that It will
cause the Indebtedness of the school district
to exceed the constitutional limit. It Is al
leged that the selection of the Oakland ave
nue site was made through fraud.
The suit Is brought In the namu ot Slack
Peterson , a section foreman In the otiiploy
of the Milwaukee railway , who has figured
somewhat prominently In local politics.
Peterson , It Is understood , Is merely acting
ns n figurehead , the real parties bringing the
suit being n number of attorneys whoso In
terests are north of Uroadway nnd princi
pally In the Fourth ward. The original no-
tlco as served on the board was prepared by
Attorney J. J. Iless , who was Interested In
ono of the sites offered , nnd Is signed by
Stone & Tlnley and Clem F. Klmball , as
sistant county attorney. The petition was
prepared In the office of Attorney FllcUlngcr ,
who appears for Peterson along with the
other lawyers.
Judge Smith has set next Monday mornIng -
Ing at ! ) :30 : o'clock for hearing the applica
tion for ii temporary writ of Injunction.
Judge Smith , feeling that ho Is an Interested
party , has declined to hear the application
and some Judge living outsldo the school
district will bo secured.
AlIcKtUIniiN < > C tin : I'etltlunur.
The petition opens with the statement
that the plaintiff Is a icsldcnt and tax
payer of the Independent School District of
Council niuffs , and that he Is but one of
the numerous residents and taxpayers who
have a common and general Interest In the
prosecution of the action , nnd as It Is Im
possible to join all who are so Interested
ns plaintiffs therein he brings the action In
their nnd In his own behalf. Continuing , the
petition recites the facts regarding the sub
mission of the question ot a bond Issue to
the people and the result of the same at
the election , and then goes on to represent
that the proposition was that the building
should bo placed on a slto selected by the
board as centrally located as In Its judgment
was possible.
The petitioner then attacks the legality of
the Oakland avenue site , and alleges that
the property Is not centrally located , nor Is
the location as central as Is possible within
the meaning of the resolution carried by
the electors of the district ; that the location
Is at the extreme north side of the district
and In the neighborhood of a largo ceme
tery , and Is In express violation of the In
tent and purpose of the people as expressed
at tbo election. |
The plaintiff alleges that section 2773 o !
the code provides that the Board of Dlrcc- ,
tors In the selection of a school house slto
shall take Into consideration "the geographical
graphical position and the number and con
veniences of the pupils" who will attend the
school , nnd that the school board by its
action in selecting the Oakland avenue
property has violated the provisions of said
statute.
The petition attacks the selection of the
Oakland avncuo slto by alleging that at
the meeting on April 17 on the llrst ballot
another and different site was selected by a
majority of the votes of the members of the
board , which location complied with all the
provisions of the statute nnd with the will
of the people , as expressed at the election ,
but that the president ot the board , being
desirous that this slto should not ho
chosen , and that the Oakland avenue prop
erty should bo selected , announced that * no
choice had been made , although In truth
and In fact t > nld slto bad been legally and
properly selected by a majority vote , and
ordered that another ballot be taken with
out regard to the ono already had. The
allegation Is made that this act of President
Sims was Illegal and without authority In
law , and was for the purpose of preventing
the selection and confirmation of the other
site. The petition alleges that President
Sims at tbo commencement of the ballotIng -
Ing for a slto announced that the two most [
convenient nnd centrally located sites which
had been under consideration by the board
for a long time prior thereto had been
withdraw n In whole or In part from the
market by the owners. These statements ,
It Is claimed , were untrue nnd were made
with the Intent nnd purpose of diverting the
attention of the other members of the board
r
from thcso sites , and directing their ntten- ,
tlon to the selection of the Oakland avenue '
.
tract for which President Sims was strenuously -
j
ously laboriiiE.
:
Validity of lloiul INMIHAtlacUciI. .
The petition attacks the validity of tbo
bond Issue of $05,000 , claiming that If Is
sued the bonds would bo In excess of the
constitutional limit of Indebtedness of the >
district , and that unices enjoined the board
Intends to pay the sum of $8,000 $ to complete - ! *
pleto tbo purchase of the Oakland avenue t ;
tract out of other funds than the bonds IJ
voted for the purchase of a slto and the .
construction of a bulldlntr.
In conclusion , the plaintiff asks that a
temporary Injunction Issue against the independent -
dependent school district of Council Illuffs ,
and the Hoard of Education , enjoining them
from In any way or manner completing
the purchase of the lots on Oakland avenue
for high school purposes ; mid from In any
way or manner proceeding with any further
negotiations for the purchase thereof ; from
the Issuing or attempting to issue uny of
the bonds so voted for the erection of a
high school ; and that on final hearing It bo
decreed that the selection of a slto was
wrongful. Illegal and not In accordance with
the will of the people , and that the pro
posed Issue of bonds bo declared unlawful
and Illegal , and that the Injunction be made
perpetual.

The trial of the damage suit of W. L.

Judge Smith In the district court yester
day. Whitney sues for $3,500 , of which
$2r $ > pO he claims for damage to his building , ,

fcctlvo construction of the Odd Follows'
temple , and $1,000 for half nf the cost of

( or damages \Vhltucy alleges that the Odd
Fellows tailed to properly support the west >
wall of his building , although using It and
Its foundations for the support of their >
building , that they failed to allow sulllclrnt
gpace between tbelr east wall oud lib west c
wall ; that they failed to make the neces
sary and proper foundations for the cant
wall of their building , thereby throwing
the weight of their building upon the west
wall of his building , and that they were
negligent In excavating and removing the
earth from the 'basement , and did It In
such'a careless and negligent manner as
to undermine and Injure his wall , causing
the building to crack.

At the meeting of the city council last
night Alderman Chrlstcnscn called atten
tion to the fact that very few of the build
ings having public halls were provided with
fire escapes. Ho said the city ought to
profit by the experience Omaha had had
with the 11 ro In the Patterson block and
the council should take steps to have every
building three stories high and over pro
vided with ample means for escape In case
of fire. Alderman Chrlstensen suggested |
that an ordinance be framed and the matter
was referred to City Attorney Wadsworth
to report at the next regular meeting by
an ordinance or otherwise.
The bill from the county for half of the
cost of the purchase of election booths and
ballot boxes In 1S01 was received. During
the discussion It developed that In Septem
ber , 1S9I , a warrant had been drawn pay
able to the county for the city's share ,
amounting to nearly $300 , that the warrant
had been torn from the book , although It
had never been receipted for or presented
to the treasurer for payment. What has
become of the warrant no ono seems to
know. The Question of whether the city
should Isuso a duplicate warrant under the
circumstances was referred to the Judiciary
committee and the city attorney to re
port on ,
Charles Coleman notified the city that
while running to catch u motor car on the
morning of April 11 he stepped Into a hole
In the sidewalk on Thirty-fifth street nnd
received a severe strain. Ho wants the
city to pay him $1,600 for the Injury. The
matter was referred to the Judiciary com
mittee to wrestle with.
I ) . C. Smith was granted permission to
conduct a saloon in the Grand hotel and
Dr. M. J. Dallengor was authorized to erect
a brick veneer olllco building on Broadway
between Sixth nnd Seventh streets.
The committee on city property and build
ings reported that the firm of High &
Walker of Omaha offered to paint the roofs
of the city hall , police station and patrol
house with ti patent Japan paint for the
sum of $73. Alderman Atkins objected to
the use of patent paints on the ground that
they were as a rule unsatisfactory and sug
gested that ordinary paint would bo cheaper
In the long run. The matter , after a lengthy
discussion , was referred 'back ' to the com
mittee.
Alderman Chrlstensen , as chairman of the
committee on police and health , reported
that the black horse used > by the marshal's
department was no longer fit for service.
Ho was anxious that the animal should bo
traded off or otherwise disposed of and a
new one purchased. 'As three horses will
soon bo discarded by the fire department , It
was suggested that one of thcso animals
would do for the marshal's use and thus
save the city the expense ot buying one.
This plan seemed most favored and will
probably be carried out. It was decided that
at the next regular meeting the aldermen
should report the sidewalks needed In their
respective wards so that same could bo In
corporated In the general sidewalk ordi
nance.

The fire department was called out at 10

The proximity of the two fire * and hap-

lis : MOINKS , April 21. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Colored miners nrc arriving from
Oskaloosn , Lost Crook , Indian Territory Ami
Texas tooik tn the coal mines around
Dos Molncs. They arc nonunion men who
f.re coming hero , they say of their own free
will , not because of any .understanding they
have had with the operators , \\l\o \ Imvo re
fused to agree with the demands of the
union miners. Many of these colored miners
came In today from Texas and will work In
llio Christy mine. Operators believe the
strlko Is on the wane and that soon the
union mm will be asking for terms. They
sny at this tlmo of the year they are , not
at all particular whether they work or
not , as the coal business Is slack , and they
can close their mines and save money where
they would lose If they were to agree to
the demands of the miners. The situation
as far as the number of men working Is the
oatno as It was Saturday , except In the
Christy mine. It has about sixty men at
work and more are coming back all the
time. Its usual force Is over 300 men and
Its business Is that of supplying the rail
roads. The DCS Molncs Coal company' ; )
mlno Is not being worked and the managers
say they will not turn n wheel under any
such terms as the miners have demanded.
Many of the smaller miners which supply
what demand there Is for coal In the city
this tlmo of the year are at work and the
operators are paying the scale demanded
with the eight-hour day. In the meantime
the miners who have refused to return to
work are dally holding conferences In tlm
rooms of the Trades union. What they are
doing is hard to find out , as they are keep
ing very closemouthed as to any of their
deliberations , but it la rumored that they

Mrs. Frank Harris sued for divorce today ,
alleging that another wife of Frank Harris ,
whom she married three years ago , Is living
at Wintered. Another such divorce suit
was filed a few days ago and there seems to
bo an epidemic of bigamy.
William Tomllnson , a miner , married and
aged 28 , was crushed by a. fall of slate In
the Keystone mine. Ho died within an hour
after being taken out.
W. J. Loverton , a retired farmer from
Wlntcrset , went to bed last night at the
Graefe house and blew out the gas. He was
discovered early this morning. Ho will re
cover.
Judge Holmes held today that ex-Secre
tary of State McKarland could not bo held
responsible for the state census of 1895 ,
providing certain evidence could bo pro
duced by the defendant , but that the ex
ecutive council was.In . fact responsible.
The court also ruled that If the clerks gave
a part of their wages to McFarland after
they had earned them , and if there was
no contract , it was tie concern of the state
and the state could not recover. Ho said ,
however , that if there was an agreement
between McFarland and the clerks in ad-
vanpo then , the money -\va.s obtained ille
gally and could bo recovered by the stato.
The ruling was made by Judge Holmes
nlmcst at the conclusion of Monday's work.
Ex-Oovernor Frank D. Jackson , a. member
of the executive council In 1S93 , had Just
taken the stand. The question was asked by
counsel for the defendant :
"Who authorized the manner of taking
the census of 1S93 ? "
( Attorney General Hemlcy objected to the
admission of such testimony. Holmes over
ruled the objection and Jackson will go on
the stand In the morning to testify. The
ruling of Holmes covers practically the
whole case and will probably be much the
same as the instructions that will bo given
to the Jury.
