3 COURT ENJOINS CONTRACT J9 OSVflPANY. l!lf THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, AVItlL 27, 1002. KELLEY, Hold tLs Two Lancaster Committionen Acted Without Authority. DIVISION FENCE CAUSES HOT FIGHT Parties Both tH.tru of the C'oatro Ttnr Tried la rotlrc Toart aad Fined for Their Share la the Affray. 'From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, April 2 (Special.) Judee Frost of the dltrit court this afternoon gave a decision which. In effect, annula the contract recently made with C. O. Shee ley by the Lancaster county board of torn tntasloners for the construction and repafr of bridges and culvert la this county. The Injunction given restrains the commit lon er,, the county clerk and Mr. Sheeley from proceeding under the contract or agreement and enjoin the filing, consid eration or allowance of claims for work already performed or for supplies fur nished. This order, however. Is made con ditional on the filing of a bond for $5,000. It was shown by the evidence and testi mony that two members of the board of commissioners entered into the contract with Sheeley without either notifying the third member, advertising for bids or con sidering other proposal. In various warn the term of the contract itself were alleged to have been violated, both by Mr. Sheeley nd the commissioners, who signed it on behalf of the county. It Is probable that motion will be made for a rehearing. Truahle Over Line Peace. At the conclusion of a sensational trial In police court this morning J. F. Lansing, a prominent real estate and business man. nd builder of what Is now the Oliver thfa ter. was fined $5 and cos's for assaulting Mrs. Gotlleb Wessell. The Wessells own property adjoining Mr. Lansing's residence lot at Eighteenth and K streets and for several months the owners have been in dispute as to the dividing line, the Wes sell, claiming that their neighbor was trespassing on fully three feet of their fond. About a month ago they tore down the fence during Mr. Lansing's absence and erected a new one where they claimed the dividing line by right ought to be. Mr. Lansing was apprised of the proceeding and hastened to the scene. He Jerked the new fence down and some hot words were spoken by persons on both sides of the controversy. During the discus sion. In which the family of Mr. Wessell took an active part. Frits nd Herman Wessell, sons of Gotlleb We sell, ran Into their house and emerged few minutes later with two shotguns. One slot was fired but took no effect. The other weapon was leveled at Mr. Lansing's face, but was pushed out of aim by the boy's mother and sisters. In the melee Mrs. Wessell was struck by a board in the hands of Mr. Lansing, nd In the trial today she alleged that Lan sing used Insulting language In speaking to her. Frits and Herman Wessell were ar rested subsequent to the occurrence and both fined $10 and costs. A few days after the ease was aettled a complaint was made against Mr. Lansing and his arrest fol lowed. Hearing was Continued until today. The complaining witness in the first 'case was the defendant today and the defend ants before were today the principal wit nesses for the prosecution. A singular festure of the proceeding, was the fact that Mr. Lansing was de fended by the attorney who was bis legal antagonist for ten years in a aeries of ex traordinary caws, ail involving or growing out1 of the 'dlff etences between the' owner of the Lansing theater. The legal fight for the ownership of this bniMIng was one of the fiercest ever waged In the courts of this county. It will be remembered that Mr. Lansing was so persistent in hi efforts that be employed a force of men to enter the theater after performance one night and atrip it of all movable fixtures. The scenery, stage trappings, draperies, carpets and numerous other things were removed from the building. Even the chairs In the parquet were loosened from the floor, preparatory to taking them out.
