general Leonard W. Colby of 8eatric
former adjutant general of Nebraska, and
against who It la reported that an indict
ment waa found by the federal grand Jury
Thursday evening, la In tha city. On ar
riving ha proceeded at once to the office ot
tha United Btatee district attorney for a
conference with Mr. Bummers. To a re
porter of The Be General Colby ald:
"I have Just returned from Norton county,
Kansas, where I am engaged In the prose
cution of tha Deweys for the sensational
murder with which they atand charged In
the ranch Case. We have Just completed
the preliminaries (or the trial, which will
take placa In Norton county under a
Chang of venue in February next. The
bond of the Deweys was fixed at 150,000,
which they readily gave.
"In reference to fny cas befor the fed
eral grand Jury here, I can say nothing
Just at present, aa I do not know what I
am charged with. All that I know of It la
what has appeared In th papers. The pur
pose of my visit here Is to consult with
District Attorney Summers, and .until I
know the full nature of th charges 1 do
not car to say anything. I do not care to
get Into the papers. I have been out of
th state since the proceedings against me
have been before the grand Jury and-know
positively but little about them. In refer
ence to tha Fremont armory rental story,
I have not read the papers today, and hav
ing traveled all night In addition to a
thirty-mil buggy drive from St. Francis
to Benkelman, where I took the train for
Omaha Thursday, I am pretty tired. I am
not prepared to say what course I Shall
pursue until I know more of the cases. No,
I waa hot summoned to Omaha. I came of
my own volition. . I expect to return to
Beatrice this evening."
' Captain Mmdork Hera.
The presence of Captain C. M. Murdock
of tVymore at the federal building, coinci
dent with the appearance of General Colby,
gives rise to the presumption that he may
have been summoned here In th case
against General Colby. Captain Murdcck
waa formerly commander of the Wymora
battery, Nebraska National Gunrd, and
there was a considerable coldness between
th two officers during General Colby's
term as adjutant general, which finally re
sulted In the retirement of Captain Mur
dock from th National Guard through th
expiration of Captain Murdock's commis
sion and his failure of reappointment. Cap
tain Murdock maintains, however, that hit,
visit to Omaha Is a private matter and In
the Interest of his candidacy for thl office
of United Btate district attorney, and that
he Is here simply to solicit Mr. Bummers'
endorsement for his candidacy. He holds
, that as th reappointment ot Mr. Bum
mers is Impossible and that Mr. Lindsay's
chances are also vary unoertaln, he may
capture tha plum.
It waa stated at the federal bullrtlng that
Elliott Love had given bond and that Judge
Munger had passed on its sufficiency.
Clt v Witnesses. (
William Shessbv, J. T. Steele, W. T.
Johnson, E. N. Hayman and E. A. Francis
6f Hastings, have been summoned before
th federal gTand Jury to testify In the
matter of tha cost ot tha removal of th
Hastings postofllc from its old to its
present location. Th cost of removal Is
reported to be S746, and the investigation
la ordered by Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Brlstow.' On or' two. other wit
nesses have alread ytestifted In the mat'
ter, notable J. B. Williams, a former editor
of a Hastings newspaper.
, Deputy 'Marshal James Afin has gone
to th Indian reservations to .arrest a
number of Indiana and others charged
with bootlegging, ana against whom re
cent indictments wer found by th grand
Jury.

MATERIAL GAINS BEING MADE
Improvement Is Realised hy Banrd
I Review In Work Over
Last Tear.
Material gains are- being made in per
sonal property assessments by the Board
of Review In the cases of wealthy clttsens
who have come oft lightly In the paat The
board has asked that the names of the In
dividuals be suppressed aa all this class
who have been summoned this year have
acted in what the board consldera a fair
and generous manner.
Yesterday th assessment of a retired
real estate dealer waa fixed at $30,000. Last
year it waa leas than $1,000. Another well
known, man,-a merchant, had his. assess
ment raised from $3,000 to $2,070, . which
waa the amount of the voluntary return the
board Induced him to give.
Hayden Bros, and the Boston store have
been Increased $10,000 each over the assess
ments made upon them fast year, . the
former at $217,750 and the latter at fisO.OOO.
The American Hand-Sewed Bhoe company
was raised to $110,000 from its voluntary re
turn of ' $100,090. The Bennett denartftiftnt
store la being considered bV the board. Aa
it ia mads up of many departments, each
owned and controlled by different parties,
the listing is taking time and will not be
complete for a day or two.
In tha matter of the estate of tha late
Dean Campbell Fair, R, S. Hall, adminis
trator, the proposed assessment of $116,000
was not made, because the property was
found to be in a somewhat complicated
shape, being widely distributed and at
present under probate proceedings In sev
eral courts. ' The comparatively small
amount was agreed upon. 1

MAYOR CONSIDERS IT A HOLDUP
After Investigation ho Regards Loeaat
Street Deal an Attempt ta)
Fleece City. ,
"There is now no question in my mind
but that the Locust street deal Is more or
lees ot a holdup game against the city,"
said Mayor Moores. ' 'The city abstracter
has been Instructed not to deliver the ab
stract of the property to the appraisers, so
that no further progress will be made until
the council has had time to act.
"I think the latter body should repeal
the ordinance passed, now that protests
hava been made and the affair haa been ao
thoroughly exposedt by The Bee."
An attorney who haa been concerned in
much land litigation says that the theory
that the strip of ground on Locust street
haa merely a nominal value should win in
the courts.
"Some year ago," he asserted, "the city
had a similar case on Leavenworth street
between Twentieth and Twenty-first. The
city attorney took the ground that the re
port of the appraisers for a. nominal
amount, something like 2S0, was correct,
because the atrip, lying in the street, was
worthless as a real estate proposition.
The city won th cas befor a Jury and
th report of the appraisers was approved.
I see no reason why the Locust street deal
should not come under the same head." .
