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.

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.

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.
"Illvlne Hcnler" .Ininen Known Hero.
S. J. James , the alleged "divine healer , "
v.ho , It Is charged Is partially responsible
for the death of Miss Ethel Yatcs of Coun
cil Bluffs , Is well known In South Omaha.
He lived for a tlmo In the south part ot
the city and kst summer was engaged In
grading near Avery. As a general thing he
follows the calling of a sowing machine
agent and In tUs capacity has become well
known to residents of the Magic City. Within
the last ten days James tried to secure em
ployment hauling coal , but the firm he ap
plied to declined to give him work. Last
summer James filed a claim against the city
for the value of a horse alleged to have
been Injured by falling from the bridge over
Mud creek in Albright. The horse was
blind nnd was being ridden by James' son.
In crossing the bridge the horse leaned up
against the railing and foil Into the creek.
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.

Mercer regarding the furnishing of copies
of all public documents to the library. Mr.

When the police arrested "Big Foot" Wai-
' lace , alias Jairca Moody , It was thought
I that ho could bo connected with McCoy nnd

Ing detained In the city jail for several
