From their point of view President A. B.
Btlckney of the Ort ' Western railway
gave nftjr properly owner In the district
that wllJ. be used by his terminals very
little satisfaction In the council room yes
terday afternoon.
The council arranged the meeting so that
the property owners would have an oppor
tunity tot talk to Frealdent Btlckney. A
few of thtnt-dld talk tp him most pointedly
while, be maintained silence. The session
was withput results,' save that the council
tred ' ta tdok - over the terminal ground

"I don't think 4h property of these peo
ple will Jae damaged. 40 far a rental or
selling value I1 concerned." said Mr. Btlck
ney. "OC. course I am ' not an Infallible
Judge., pt theee thing", but what I say is
based on thirty years', experience In build
ing railroads. We have selected the only
pArt of tywn that seems practicable for our
purpoaeo. :The.. entrance of the road Is
bound tA Inconvenience semeone just as the
entrance! of . the road '1 bound to benefit
the majority of the ,130,000 people of Omaha
and South Omaha. We merely ask that
the enuhcll consider the ordinance with the
Interests of all the cltlsens in view, rather
than to consider an?'la or part of them.
X think probably foetr resident property
owners will be injured by the terminals."

viaducts .nd subways built so aa not to

the entrance .of the railroad would beneiH
fifty or sixty Jobbers. 'no more, no less. He
urged that a Viaduct be constructed across
Eighteenth street, which he said could be
done by moving the proposed line of tracks
a little ways. - -
Mrs.' Mary W. Cormack, who has had
much to say about "magnates' and "mo

ney's talk and used up twenty minute glv

vlous plat had been made, which, if fol
lowed out, would have kept the yards south
of Jiasoa street and caused no great dam
age, but they bad. been changed to please
a certain Individual. Instead of forty peo
ple that would be affected she said that at
least ISO would feel the effects of the new
terminals. '.

Favor of Old Colored
Co a pie.
A verdict wae returned by the Jury In
Judge Fawcett court j-estarday in a
case which ha attracted notoriety In. the
local and state court of Nebraska far the
past fifteen years. The case Is entitled Julia
Flanagan against David and Emma L. Van
Etten.
This case first made Its way through the
varloua minor court and up to th supreme
court. From there It was remanded again
to th lower courts, where It has been con
tested for some year, and now that the
defendant In th oaee have again been de
feated the announcement I mad that th
case will once more be carried to the su
preme court.
John and Julia Flanagan, the defendant
in thl case, are colored people and were
laves In the ante-bellum day. They ac
quired, through gift and purchase from
their former masters, a considerable tract
of real estate In Omaha. Neither can read
or write and entrusted their legal matters
to David Van Etten, an attorney. In thl
cas th Flanagan sought to reoover 12,000
dsmages. It was alleged that on March 28,
U9t, the defendant were Indebted to one J.
W. Howell for money borrowed In the sum
of 1511.10 and that the defendant applied to
th Flanagan to sign a not payable to the
order of Howell to secure the obligation, but
that the defendant represented to the
Flanagan that the note which It was de
sired they should sign was for the sum of
1100, when In fact It was for 1512.50. Relying
upon these statement and not being able
to read or write, the Flanagan signed the
note. It was also alleged that said not wa
afterward placed In Judgment without th
plaintiff' knowledge nd her property wa
levied upon and cold to satisfy said Judg
ment and property valued at $2,000.
Deales the Allegations.
The answer filed by the defendant dented
the allegation of fraud and alleged that
John Flanagan, the husband of Julia Flan
agan, the defendant, In th aummer of
wa owing the defendant, David Van
Etten, a large sum of money for legal ferv
Ice, upon agreement and verbal contracts
nd for expense Incurred and cost paid
for th defendant and for loan of money
In th sum of 18,000. Thl wa set up aa a
counter c'.aim, and finally th $8,000 counter
claim had been Increased to more than $12,
0O0, and Flanagan denied that he waa In
debted to Van Etten In any sum whatever,
During the trial of this case, which occu
pied five days, the queer spectacle wae
witnessed of Van Etten on the witness
stand asking himself question. Being an
attorney he conducted his own case, while
on the other side the plaintiff, John Flana
gan, sat about the court room, unable to
participate to any great extent In th case
because of his Inability to read or write.
Thl did not hinder him, however, from In
terruptlng Van Etten frequently during the
trial,, much to the amusement of the, court
and the numerous spectator. When Van
Etten would make some statement which
Flanagan thought was Incorrect he would
interrupt to y: . "Nonsense," "Oh, fudge,"
or something of th kind. He wa Irre
pressible and despite their beet effort th
court and spectators could not keep from
laughing.
The 'Jury returned a verdict In favor of
the ' plaintiffs', and now ' Van Etten an'
no u nee that h will take th cas before
the supreme court once more.
