The Omaha 4 Council Bluffs Railway and
Bridge company was made defendant in two
suits yesterday in the district court, in
which the plaintiffs, Daniel J. DuVol and
George W. O'Brien each ask (5.000 dam
ages for alleged mistreatment and Indigni
ties they were subjected to by employes
of the company on tbe night of May 8 last.
The petition in both suits set forth sub
stantially similar allegations. The plaintiffs
recite that they boarded a motor car In
Omaha to return to their homes in this
city and paid their fares, and that when
the car reached about the center of the
bridge over the Missouri river the con
ductor again demanded the fares from them.
They refused to pay a second time and the
conductor threatened to put them off the
car, but they were not ejected until the
-car reached the power .house and barn.
Here, they allege, a number of the com
pany's employes, at the Instigation of tbe
conductor, boarded the car and after as
saulting, beating and kicking them, threw
them off tbe car. The alleged Indignities,
however, according to the petitions, did not
end here, as the plaintiffs furtbsr recits
that after being thus maltreated they were
forced - to re-enter the car, which con
veyed them to Pearl street and Broadway,
where they were placed under arrest and
taken to the city Jail, charges of disor
derly conduct being filed against them by
officers t the company.

decree reads as follows:
Wherefore, It is ordered, adjudged nnd
decree! by the court that the Omaha,
Council Bluffs & Suburban company and
the Omaha & Council Bluffs Bridge in'
Hallway rompany, their officers and agents, ,
hf and forever are enjoined from fencing,
obstructing, using or occupying, or In any
manner use, occupy or Interfere with Ihi i
following described streets, in wnai is
known as Manawa park:

of Third street and west half of block 31.
Also that part of what Is known as Lako
avenue, twenty-four feet wide, lying di
rectly south of block 31, and connecting
with the boulevard referred to. I
The decree further provides that the
temporary Injunction Is made permanent
and In case the motor company falls to re
move the fences and other obstructions by
noon of July S an order will Issue from
the court Instructing the sheriff or other
duly qualified officer of the court to abate
the nuisance. The costs in the action are
taxed up against the motor company.
Motor Company Appeals.
. The motor . company, as soon as the de
cree was entered, not only filed notice of
appeal, but a supersedeas bond In the sum
of $1,000, which was approved by N. C.
rhllllps, clerk of the superior court. What
effect this supersedeas bond will have re
mains to be seen. Judge Bcott denied the
application of the company to file such a
bond on the grounds that injunction pro
ceedings cannot be stayed by supersedeas
and that his order must be carried out on
or before the date set In the decree. The
attorneys for the motor company, on the
other hand, contend that the filing of the
supersedeas bond Is perfectly legal and
that it will serve as a stay of further pro
ceedings pending the determination of the
appeal. They take tbe grounds that as the
fences complained of have already been
erected the Injunction restraining the com
pany from thus obstructing the streets Is
of no practical account and that In order
to compel them to remove them the court
will have to make a further order declar
ing them a nuisance and that the bond will
serve as a stay against any such further
order.
The motor company has constructed a
dock along the bank of the lake and the at
torneys claim that It is on private land
and that the boulevard ordered opened lies
north of it, and that the company will
erect a fence along the dock, thus shutting
off access to the lake. It was stated last
evening that In view of these threats by
the attorneys for the motor company that
counsel for Crtsman Robards would pre
sent the matter again to the eourt today
for a further order In the case.

MORE TEACHERS COMING IN
Enrollment at the County Institute
Expected to Reach a Total
of Three Hundred.
The enrollment at the county institute
yesterday passed the 280 mark and it is
expected that by Monday It will exceed that
of last year, when 800 teachers were in
attendance.
A feature of yesterday morning's session
was the address by County Superintendent
McManus, In which be outlined and dis
cussed the work of the State Teachers'
Reading circles. Hs took the opportunity
to advocate two changes In the present
educational system of the state, one
whereby teachers desiring to remove to
another county could take their examina
tions In the county In which they resided.
Instead of being compelled to do before
the superintendent of the county to which
they desired to go. The other change sug-
! ,w" . th 2. h0l?B
county Institute. Prof. McManus advocated
the holding of the Institute In September,
when the schools are In session, snd that
teachers be permitted to attend It without
loss of compensation. Ha said ths insti
tute was maintained by the tees for certifi
cates, and since It was conducted for the
good of the public, be saw no reason why
the teachers should be compelled to pay
for It. He said he saw no valid reason why
tbe Institute should not be held In Sep.
tember, when tha teacher could go from the
schoolroom full of inspiration and en
thusiasm. Rev. James Thomson, pastor of the First
Congregational church, conducted the open
ing devotional exercises.
Fifty teachers took Ihe examination yes
terday afternoon In geography, grammar
and physiology.

SEQUEL TO M'KINLEY'S WOUND
However, Iowa Man Recovers After
Belnsc Shot ThrousTh Both
Walla of Stomach.
REINBECK, la., June 26. Special.)
The recovery of Ed Hendricks from a
wound, through both walls of the stomach
Is exciting comment from tbe general pub
lic of this section.
Hendricks was accidentally shot during
the afternoon of May 25. Dr. Powers of
this place was called two hours after and
found a bullethole in both walls of the
stomach and the contents leaking Into the
abdominal cavity. The conditions were ex
actly parallel with those of President Mc
Klnley. He performed a similar operation
to that upon the president and the young
man U now able to sit up and take nourish
ment.
Dr. Powers, In speaking of the similarity
of the cases and the difference In the
effects of the wound, said that it was all
due to the difference in patients. The pa
tient here differs in the amount of vitality
manifested and exhibits great tenacity of
life.

Centervllle Is building large hopes on Its

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES. June 28. (Special.) The
situation In Des Moines in regard to the
strike of the telephone operators has not
cleared. The telephone companies sought
to Induce the girls to return to work today
and offered all who would return an ad
vance In wages equivalent to what they have
demanded, but not one of the strikers ac
cepted. They are holding together firmly
and declare that they will all be taken back
or none, but this the operators refuse to
concede.
This morning the Mutual had twenty-two
operators at work and the Iowa eighteen.
These are nearly all Inexperienced girls,
with a few operators brought here from
other towns, and tbe result Is that there
Is considerable demoralization of the serv
ice. The action of the Trades and Labor As
sembly In Indorsing the strike and of the
ministers of the city and most of the news
papers In giving the strikers moral encour
agement has made It unlikely that any com
promise can be effected.
The owners of the Mutual assert that if
they should grant all that the operators
demand they would lose money and they
are not authorized to Increase the tele
phone rates until the council acts.
A committee of the Trades and Labor As
sembly has taken full charge of the strike
and Is endeavoring to Induce business men
io take out their telephones. The commit
tee has also attacked the franchise of the
Iowa company, claiming that It has now
no right to occupancy of the streets, and
has demanded of the city officials thst they
Insist on the Mutual complying with the
letter of tbe charter.

Frank Shercleff, the diamond robber, who

is necessary for Shercleff to be kept in the

Warden Jones of the Fort Madlsnn nun I.
tentiary also reports that so far as he has
been able to discover no part of the stolen
property waa ever returned to the Jewelry
house from which It waa taken and no offer
of restitution was made before the parole
was granted. He is of the opinion that the
diamonds were distributed among those
who were in the deal In Omaha and that
Shercleff got only a small Dart of the nro-
ceeds. i

mated that he had known for some time
what action the delegstion Intended tak
ing. He does not believe the endorse
ments of the delegation, will be turned
down by President Roosevelt, or that the

prove the action of the delegation rather
than consider Governor Cummins' endorse
ment of Kemble for revenue collector.
