DISTRICT COURT PARTIALLY REVERSES IT Tkla Di Hot Bolt aa4 Mow the ' Ceort Will fry Ita Haa at Settllasr the ( ; DlrTerenees. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Au. JO. (Speclal.)-The su preme court la to hare a wrestle withthe irritation case from Bcotta Bluft countr, tha dlatrlct oourt having reversed the de cision of tha State Board of Irrigation In ona Instance and austainlnr It In another. Tha eaco filed today Is entitled William Frank, appellant, aralnst The Fsrmers" Canal Company, Roberta. Walker and Farmera' Irritation Dlatrlct of Scotta Bluff County and Tha Farmers' Irrigation Dis trict ot Bcotts Bluff County against The Farmera' Canal Company, Roberts Walker and William Frank. Under tha law of 1887 tha Farmers' Canal company waa granted the right to dig a dltah elghty-ona miles long, claiming 1,141 cublo feet of water par second coverfng about (0,000 aores of land. The company built a headgate and twenty -one, miles of tha ditch. Than It quit and sold out ti Roberts Walker. In April, 1902. along comes William Frank and-filed an appli cation for water right along the same ground given tha canal company. His con tention before tha board and before the oourt was that tha canal company had abandoned Its works. Tha Farmers' Irrigation district was then organised and voted 1400,000 worth of bonds to dig a ditch along the same r1rt of way. This district elaimed Ilka Frank that tha oanal oompany had abandoned Its property. Tba company did no work, however. The case waa tried before the State Board of Irrigation and Secretary Dobson decided In favor of the Farmera' Canal oompany, holding that the statutes did not provide how long tha property could remain Idle before It was declared aban doned. The case waa then taken to the district court of Bcotts Bluff county and tha decision there waa to ahut out the Irrigation district and grant the light to William Frank to dig tha ditch except In tba twenty-one mites covered by the Farm era' Canal oompany. Gas gapolaote Eleetrtelty. "liet there be light, yea, gaa light," says tha Lincoln Oaa and Electric Light com pany. "Let It be as our worthy chieftain says," spake- the counoll. And gas light It will be. And this Is tha beginning of the punishment to be Inflicted upon the dt'sena of Lincoln for waging an unsuccessful fight to throw oft tha yoke adjusted by the Electrlo Light company. The mandate waa Issued by tha otty council soma time ago and workmen are busy now tearing across lawns, putting up unsightly poles In these beautiful streets and the men who pay the bills are punctuating their remarks with sulphuric expressions. The council let tha contract for 'the gas lights to the Cleveland Vapor Light com pany, which company In turn made a con tract with the Lincoln Oas and Electrlo Light company to furnish the gas. Tha lights are to be placed, at street Intersec tions "along . the gas main" and they are to bo paid for at the rate of $41 aaoh a year. .Thera are to be 825 or more of thera to run from dark until dawn. The electrlo lights are to come down. The company agrees to use tha poles of the city, or as many, athe.c1ty has, and at the expiration of ' the contract,' one year from now, to ell to the blty the lamps at $10 eaoh. Tha t total cost of tha gns lights will be tU.CS'a year, and the electrlo lights have Wan costing the city $18,260.40. Why tha elty council . made the change apparently no one knowa. The gas lights will cost mora and It la generally believed that they Will not give the satisfaction that tha elec tric lights did. There will be more of them than thera were of tha electrlo lights, and that'a all. Only ona good explanation has been offered for tha change and that was by a man who Is not a' member, of the city oounoll. He said for some time the Lincoln oompany had been trying to find some way to get more money out of tha city for electric lights, but became it had been securing about $14,000 for so long It seemed Impossible to raise tha amount. Therefore, be concluded, this company got the Cleve land oompany to make tha bid for gas lights, the Lincoln company to furnish the gaa. This was all done. On every hand tha people are condemning tha action of tha oouncil and expresa themselves as being very wrathy. 'Linooln baa bad .a hard time wth Ita lights and lighting corporations. On two .occasions the town , has voted bonds to erect a lighting plant, and In each In stance tha ordinance under which tha bonds were lasued waa declared void. The last vote waa taken In tha aprlng and verythlng possible was dona to prevent a mistake being made. The vote waa over whelmlngly In favor of the bond issue. Bat when these were offered for aale the flaw waa found and tha bonds were not old. Noanlaatlor. Costa Nothlasj. Charles 8.

According to local coal dealers the de mand for Pennsylvania anthracite coal this winter Is very limited, due to the greed of the mine owners last winter In demanding such exorbitant prices. These high prices compelled the consumers to experiment with other coals, which were found to be almost as satisfactory as the Pennsylvania coal.

(Spectat)-In an Interview with The Bee correspondent Postmaster Jacob Fisher gave the follow ing concerning what Leopold Hahn la re ported to have said In Lincoln Tuesday: "I wish, to deny with all possible em phasis the statements reported by the Jour nal of Wednesday, as having been made In a hotel lobby In Lincoln by Leopold Hahn concerning my appointment aa postmaster of this city. "Mr. Hahn Is quoted as having said that the recent federal grand Jury In Omaha Investigated the appointment of Jacob Fisher aa postmaster of Hastings, but found that the 'charges were without foundation, legally.' He said further, ao It to' stated by the Journal, that I consulted with him and told htm that a demand of $2,600 bad been made upon me In return for my appointment. Mr. Hahn la reported further as having said that I objected vigorously and made arrangements to seek legal advice for some way In which to make payment by paper that would not be collectible. "The whole story given by Mr. Hahn Is false. Not a single statement made by Mr. Hahn In regard to any Irregularity In my appointment Is true. He has absolutely nothing, either legal or otherwise, which would give foundation for any charges In regard to my appointment, and I desire to correct auto the Impression given out by him that I am or was dissatisfied with the treatment I received from Mr. Diet rich. "It should be borne in mind that Mr. Hahn is well known as a political enemy of Mr. Dietrich. He was my predecessor as postmaster and Is disappointed because ha couldn't hold the place. It will be re membered that Mr. Haha declined to re linquish possession of the postoffioe when I presented my credentials. Ha left tne city and the Postofflce department sent an Inspector here to turn over tha offloa to me In hla absence. Oaly Eiesie (or frtery "Mr. Hahn, in making tha statement credited to him, probably had In mind tha purchase of the postofflce fixtures. A little explanation of the transaction will show clearly that the charges are absolutely without foundation. Away back In the '80s, when Q. J. Evans was appointed postmas ter, he purchased, with his own funds, tha fixtures which had been used by his prede oossor, C. H. Paul. He paid Mr. Paul for the fixtures about $2,000, and at the ex plratton of his term he sold them to Mr. J. B. Heartwell. who was appointed as his successor under the Harrison administra tion, receiving for them about $1,800. Mr. Ralnard Wahlqulst. appointed by Cleve land, succeeded Heartwall and bought tha fixtures from him for upwards of $1,000. When Wahlqulst finished his term as post master ho sold the fixtures to the Grand Army of the Republic, and that organise' tlon ranted to the government while Hahn was postmaster a room equipped with those fixtures, and at a rata two or three tlmea higher than had been paid before. It ll customary for the postmasters In cities of this slse to buy their own fixtures. Hahn is the only man who didn't do it, but tha Grand Army of the Republic bought them Just before he assumed tha office and then raised the rent. . "After I waa appointed I began to look for fixtures. I Anally bought those owned by the Grand Army of the Republic and paid $800 for them. Thla check waa drawn on a local bank, and so far aa I know, no effort was made to keep the transaction a secret. The $600 was all paid to tha Grand Army of the Republic" Old Sutlers Mold Plenlo.
