Jury Holds Peter Urick for Kill ing of Thomas Leabi&ia. SALOON KEEPER NOW LOCKED IN JAIL Testimony at laejnest shows That trl'jk llrack Leablnls on Head with But Ball Bat Magle City Gossip. Peter Uvlck was held to be responsible for the death of Thomas Leablnls by a coroner'e Jury yesterday. The Jury listened to testimony from I o'clock In the fore noon until :S0 In the evening and then returned a verdict that Ifvlck was respon sible. As soon as the verdict was made known to Chief Brlggs he sent Captain Troutan to fvlck's saloon. Twenty-seventh and T streets and placed him under arrest. At the city Jail Uvlck protested about being locked up on such a hot night with no show of being able to get out on bonds, but the remonstrance did not avail. Frank Ourness, Oscar Gray, Paul Wis her. Robert Oliver and Otto Schoults. who were arrested Just after the death of Leablnls, are atlll held by the police and will not be released until the county at torney so directs. Almost all the testimony at the afternoon session of the coroner's Jury pointed to the fact that Uvlck had struck Leablnls on the head with a base ball bat. As the blows showered by the saloon keeper were gen eral no one who participated in the fight could testify that Uvlck struck the blow with Intent to kill and this fact the Jury took Into consideration when making up Its verdict. The last line of the verdict reads that from the testimony adduced the blow which killed Leablnls was Intended for snother man. Today the county attorney will most likely file a complaint against Uvlck and then will come the preliminary hearing or the waiving of an examination In the police court. Two dosen witnesses were examined and the session was most trying to the attor neys and stenographers, as there was very little ventilation in the room, on account of the large crowd present Special Connell Meeting".

Testerday an officer brought a flend to police headquar ters, but Chief Brlggs would not permit the man to be locked up.

Kenyon, manager of the South Omaha Stock Tarda company, raturned Monday evening from New York, where he haa been for several days, with others, In an effort to raise money for the construc tion of a power canal. He said: "Thero Is really nothing new to say In the matter, as the question Is now before the eastern people, who have been re quested to put their money In the enter prise. The fact Is that when I became actively Interested In the project X wanted to know exactly what the eastern people would do. After some work here we suc ceeded In bringing a number of the people together and smoothing over matters of difference and then we went to New York. There I told the representatives of the probable investors that I wanted to know exactly what they would do and what, under existing circumstances, we could rely upon. "The power canal project had been car ried to New York so often and In so many different ways, by so many different penp's. that there were people there who had become as tired of It aa we have been of hearing it discussed without tangible results, so when I went there It wss with the determination to make the matter final so far as I am concerned. What the Promoter! Want. "I told them that we would be satisfied with their opinion this time, and requested them to send men in whom they hsd con fidence to inspect all of the schemes which we could show them, and if they decided that any one of them offered better promise of success than any other we would be content to see that one carried through, snd If those people decide that none of them are feasible because the amount of the investment would be too great for the probable energy developed we would accept the opinion as final so far as we are con cerneo and would make no effort to carry any of them out along the present lines. at least "That Is where the matter stands. No one can be expected to buy a thing with out Innktnflr at it. and. of course, these Investors will make a close Insrectlon. We may use one of the several surveys maae or we may use none of them. It all de r.nndn uDon the report, but at the present time It Is up to the people In the east."

CAPITAL STOCK AS VALUATION BASSI Attorney for the Corporation Says Amount of Capital and Earnings Do Not Indicate Value of tho Property. After a short hearing In the matter of the assessment of the property of the stock yards company yesterday the Board of Equalisation announced that a decision would b reached Wednesday, fixing ths assessment of tho property for the coming year. J. P, Breen appeared on behalf of the tax committee of the Real Estate ax- change and Frank T, Ransom for the cor poration. Mr. Breen stated that ths ex change would be satisfied vlth a total as sessment of $750,000 upon the real and per sonal property of the company, this being 10 per cent of the total value of the prop erty aa shown by the authorized capital stock of the concern, and while he did not ask for an assessment upon the capital stock, he believed this stock could be taken as an evidence of the value of the property, especially after the stockholdera had au thorised an increase ot tl.o00.000 within a few months, and it is safe to presume that this Increase was based upon value and not upon water. The attorney for the company argued that the amount of capital stock and the earnings ot the company had nothing to do with the value of the properly; that ita value should be determined by inspection on the part ot the assessor and the teturna made by the officers of tho company for ths purpose of taxation and that a rule of court in a case Lrought by a creditor which held that the Issue of rtock was to all per sons conclusive evidence that the company was worth that amount of money In cash or property was not evidence of such fact for tho purpose of assessment. The value of the p arsons! property of the company as returned by the assessor as 1400,000 and the value of the real estate 1507,000, making a total assessment of 1907,000, or an actual valuation of H.Oli.OOO. The Insurance companies' matters have not been settled, having been referred to the county attorney and the attorney not hav ing presented his opinion to the board. The assessment of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company's bridge In East Omaha was Increased from I8,00p to 22,000, ths figure at which It was sssested last year. ilf PA!
