WILL FORCE COMPANIES TO PAY UP Mnl < c ( looil .SliurlnKc on Aceiimit of r.iiKcnr Moore fiiiNNlp About She for Piilillc l.ll.rnr ) Ilullillna. LINCOLN , Jan. 8. ( Special. ) Auditor Cornell Is having a report clieulated that ho Intend ! ! to force the Insurnnco com- panics which paid fees to his predecessor , Eugene Moore , to make good the shortage to iho slnto , under penalty of hnvlnc their llrcnscB rovolccd. The test case Instituted to cctnbUnh the llnhlllty of the companies resulted In"a victory for the Htnte , but ns the Judgment was only against ono com pany It could hardly be mndo to apply against nil of them. The total nmount of the shortiiRc Is n trifle over $23,000. Audi tor Cornell , according to the report that has found Us way lno newspapers from his ofllcc , proposes to aavo the state the trouble and cxpcnso of a largo number of lawsuits by withholding rcrllflcntes of authority from all companies Involved until they pay Into the treasury nil that still remains duo. An nttachc of the auditor's olllco said lo- day that ho did not really believe the aud itor would pursilo such a course , which would undoubtedly Involve the state In end less litigation and In no way hasten the payment of the fees. Monro paid Into the Btnto treasury whllo auditor upwards of $30OtO , which ho had received ns fees from Insurance companies' Ills shortage at the end of his last term was slightly over $20- 000 , and there Is no way of ascertaining what companies should bo given the credit for the $30,000 paid Into the treasury. Several of > the companies Involved have Blgnlflcd their Intention of settling with the state , as according to the decision of thn supreme court , each company Is liable that Jailed 'to pay the fees direct to the state treasurer. It remains for the at torney general's ofllco to proceed In the col lection of the money , but from the attitude shown by some of the companies It Islio \ \ \ probable that the hole In the treasury caused by Moore's shortage will not bo filled unless by further litigation. Mnttrr of Library Silo. The property at Eleventh and O streets , offered by I ) . K. Thompson for the Carncglo library building , will probably not bo ac cepted because of Its Inconvenient location. It Is the Intention of the library board to buvo the building erected as near as pos- slblo to the center of the city and unless Bomo philanthropic citizen can bo Induced to dounto a nlto that meets this require ment steps will bo taken to raise a fund by public subscription largo enough to purchase ono. The property at Eleventh and G streets Is the most desirable of any that has been offered , but It Is too far from the center of population to bo acceptable. A building lot that would meet all require ments could not bo purchased for loss than $3,000. A capitalist who refuses to disclose his Identity has figured with local real es tate men with a view to purchasing a suit able elto and It IB thought ho may decide upon one of the downtown vacant lots. The Library board still hopes that It will not bo necessary to fall back upon the sub- Bcrlptlon fund proposition , although at pres ent this seems about the only practical plan by which a suitable site could bo procured. The city council has shown no disposition to assist the board and probably will not so long as there Is any chance of securing the property by donation or sub scription. J'jirmcrn' IiiNtltutc.

HELD F01U1IS FATHER'S DEATH I Theodora NMson Clmged with Murdering Ilis Aged Parent VERDICT OF THi CORONER'S ' JURY GIVEN Dny In Spout In TaUlnn Trnlliniin } ' In the Cn r C'on lilcrnlilo .M > ' tery Mill Surround * ( lie KllllllK. KEA11NEY , Neb. . Jan. S. ( Special Tele gram. ) The coroner Impaneled n Jury this morning and spent the whole day In In vestigating the murder of C. M. Nelson , which occurred November 15 and which was unearthed Sunday night , when his body , minus the head and ono arm , was found In a ravine about 200 yards from ht9 home. In the morning the murdered man's two sons , aged 20 nn.1 7 , and S. A. Ornlint , an uncle of the murdered man's wife , weru txamlncd. Tlie younger son told how hia father had beaten him , also of the treat ment his brother had received. That The odore Nelson killed his father Is a fact es tablished by his own testimony and that of his brother. There Is a deep mystery be hind the murder , which the Jury Is trying to solve. Theodore , In his testimony , stated that S. A. Grnhnt , nn undo of the murdered man's wife , urged him to commit the deed , lie claims thnt Grahnt wanted him to do the deed the day prior to Its execution , urging that all would bo ten times better off If the old man were dead and It would bo nil right If they got away with him. So far there has been no evidence , except that of Theodore , to connect Grahnt with the tragedy. Orahnt , Mrs. Nelson and Kl- mer. Nelson's younger son , all swear that Grahnt was not present the day the deed was committed , although Theodore's testi mony shows thnt ho was In the house * at the time. The fact that Grahnt , within a short tlmo after the disappearance of Nel son , went to the county Judge to consult with him about the appointment of tin ad ministrator nnd also that he nnd Mrs , Nel son sold a lot of corn , oats , hogs and other stuff , amounting tn all to nearly $300 , makes the affair look somewhat mysterious. So far it Is not known whether the head and arm were cut off or whether they were eaten off by the hogs , but the general Im pression Is that they were cut ott and that probably the body was hidden In the straw before being burled. The Inquest Is being attended by a largo number of Swedish people from the neighborhood In which Nelson lived. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict that C. M. Nelson came to his death by be ing hit over the head with a pitchfork In the hands of his son , Theodore Nelson. District court will convene January 28 , at which term Dlnsmoro and Nelson will be tried. 1'or \cliriiHku llnolnn Circuit. KEARNEY , Neb. , Jan. 8.

FATAL RIOT IN THE CITY HALL Tax Colleclor-KIeet of San Fr Taken Olllee liy Force One 311111 Shot. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 8. There was a rlct at the city hall at noon today when Tax Collector-elect Scott attempted to take his office. One man was shot and others brulfeed Jn the fight that ensued. Scott's election Is being contested In the courts by Collector Shechan , whoso term expired today , on the ground that Scott has not resided hero for five years , as required by the now charter. Last night Shechan barricaded his office In the city hall , expecting to defend his alleged rights. At noon Scott , accompanied by deputies , headed by Alexander Greggnlns , the pugilist , approached the tax collector's office. Scott approached Tax Collector Shec- hon and , after reading his certificate of election , called upon Sheehan to turn the office over to him. Sheehan refused and , It Is alleged Hhat Scott struck him. This started the light , in which pas pipe , clubs , chairs and pistols were used. The office was somewhat wrecked nnd n merry light was on when a squad of police en tered. Two officers made liberal use of their clubs before a semblance of order was restored. One shot was fired , wounding John O'Brien , one of Scott's men , In the neck. The wound may prove fatal. Benjamin Solomon , a son of former Gov ernor Solomon of Utah , was arrested , charged with having fired the shot , but sub sequently released. Charles E. Dread , ono of Sheehan's deputies , Is under arrest for assaulting a man with an inkstand. Scott is now In possession of the office. The police are searching every person who attempts to approach the tax collector's office and are seizing all weapon's found. This afternoon Attorney Rueff , who repre sents J. Harry Scott , the next tax collector , appeared In Judge Bahr's court and made application for a writ to restrain Edward I. Shechan from hampering him in carrying out the duties of tax collector. Judge liahr leaned the writ. Acting on the ndvlco of his attorney , Sheehan this evening abandoned the attempt to retain possession of the office of tax col lector and turned over the office to his suc cessor , J. H. Scott.

The local labor unions are preparing to take nn active part in the spring campaign and. with this idea In view , an independent political club Is bolng formed. A meeting of representatives from the various unions was held Sunday at which tlmo plans for nn organization were prepared. < A't an other meeting , to ho held soon , U is ex pected that the organization will bo com pleted and committees appointed. Candidates nro blossoming forth almost every day and when the time comes to make a selection there will be no dearth of material. In the democratic camp the various fac tions nro pulling In different directions nnd It Is predicted that the result will bo dis aster nt the polls. Kach faction Is swear- Ins vengeance on the other nnd just now there seems to ho no chance of an amicable adjustment of the existing differences. There Is more harmony In the republican ranks ami nn effort Is being made tn pick out the best men In the party for olllces. The reorganization of Hho Young Men's Re publican club moans a great deal to the party here. In fact , If the members of this club stand united and vote a straight republican ticket the election of n repub lican mayor , treasurer , clerk and four re publican councllmen Is assured. An effort Is being made 'to ' Increase the membership of the club to 300 nnd this will more than likely bo done between this tlmo nnd 'March. ' The club Is now In possession of the name and address of every republican voter In the city and such voters not now members of the club will bo requested to Join nnd lend their aid In placing the re publicans In power next April. Quito a number of business men nnd others who desire a change In administra tion circles arc going over the records and are preparing data to bo used In the spring campaign. Some very unsavory deals nro being uncovered and If the evidence se cured Is used to good ndavantnge It can not but result In the election of nn en tirely new set of ofllceholders. H appears to bo the intention > to sidetrack a largo proportion of the chronic olllccscekerB nnd In their places elect business men capable of handling the city's finances In a manner - nor acceptable to the residents and .tax . payers. On top of the Twenty-fourth street pav ing deal conies the suit to set aside the special tax assessed to pay for the paving of Twcivty-flfth street. These paving deals were engineered through while a demo cratic council was In power and now the city at largo will most likely bo compelled to bear the burden In the shape of Increased taxation. A republican mayor of known business ability , with a republican coun cil , Is demanded nt this time to pull the municipality out of the Impendinc financial disaster.

No attention v.as ever paid by the council to the claim. llnlicock Still Pollur Juiljte. Police Judge Dabacock still grinds out jus'tico at the same old stand and from the present outlook will continue to do so until the expiration of his term. Patrick King makes it a point , to spend n 'portion of each day In the court room , but he has made only the one demand for -the office. The police force recognizes Judge Habcock as the proper person to Issue warrants and try prisoners and this leaves Mr. King with nothing to do but watch the proceedings. An effort was made Saturday to induce Mayor Ensor to instruct the police to rec ognize Mr. King ns police Judge , but the mayor holds that the question as to who Is police Judge Is purely a matter of law and ono In which he has no business to interfere. For Eomo reason Mr. King has not commenced quo warranto proceedings and it is thought now that Judge Bnhcock will serve out his term without Interfer ence. KIcetM CHIlcers.
