POLICE NOW SttTlNG OUT THE CAS
Ray Cooer Bad Wife and Dick Cos
ser Suw Rein Held at Police
Itoloa Awaltlaa; Develop.
Meats la Case.
Later developments In the shootlrg of
Joe Bum yesterday morning have com
pletely changed the state of affairs. Ac
cording to the police, Mr. Cosser. v. 1th
whom Bums was rooming, made a eonfes-
aion to the police In which she slated that
Burns wss not shot by a colored man In
the street, but by his companion. Pick
Cosser. a brother-in-law of Mrs. Cesser,
and that It happened In her room. It
seems that Dick Cosser and Joe Burns
had been out for the night and returned
home mora or less Intoxicated. At the
house the two got Into a drunken quarrel
over Mrs. Coseer and Comer IS said to
have shot Burns. Roy Cosser, the husband
of ths woman, was not at home when lbs
shooting occurred.
According to thelr former story, they
aid that Burns had been shot by a colored
man at Thirteenth, and Capitol avenue, and
led ths police to believe that some party
in Omaha was attempting to kill them.
This story was further strengthened by the
fact that on Easter Sunday Mr. and Mrs.
Cosser and Joo Burns Were - cet upon by
some colored people and severely knifed.
But the stories told the police by the Cos
srs and Burns conflicted to such sn ex
tent that suspicions werearoused and, after
having a few questions put to her, ao
confessed the former story was fals? and
gave what she declares to be ths true
cause of the troute. 8he said that she
was in the room sJl the time and. In fact,
was so near Coseer that the powder from !
the revolver buvtied her hand. She said
ahe did not sea Cosser draw the gun or
fire It, ss she friad her back turned on th
men. All she, knew was that the quarrel
was terminated by a shot and Burns stag
gered to "his bed saying ha was shot.
' Cosser' tMen Immediately raid h was go
ing for a. doctor and ran out of ths room
and they police think It was then be threw
away ,fcls gun, for no weapons were found
on hm, or anywhere about the house.
Cossjur was not told that Mrs. Cosser had
confessed and so far the police have not
lierrd his side of the tale.
Barns Is Doing; Well.
BUrns was reported to be doing well at
Clarkson hospital, the wound not proving
as dangerous as was first supposed. Roy
Cosser, his wife, and Dick Cosser, his
brother, are being held at the police sta
tion as suspicious characters. The police
do not think that Dick Cosser Is the real
name of the man who Is said to have fired
the shot. If he fired the shot. Cosser Is
certainly a fine actor, for when the police
arrived at the house' r completely fooled
everybody by his actions. He reemed to be
funned with grief, vowing vengeance
'against the "niggers" and repeatedly ask
ing when the doctor would arrlvs. 80
well waa the acting done that, though ths
police never for a moment believed a col
ored man had done the shooting, a rumor
gained currency that Burns was Impli
cated In the Christiansen saloon holdup
and had been shot by a comrade over the
division of the spoils.
Bertha Alexander, a colored woman, has
been arrested on a warrant filed by Pros
ecutor Lee charging her with assault and
battery. She Is believed to be one of the
women who took part In the cutting of
the Cossers and Burns on Easter Sunday.

It Will Be Very
Large.
"It probably will be several Weeks before
the force In my office will complete the
tabulating of delinquent taxes as required
by the scavenger law," said City Treaaurer
Howe yesterday afternoon.
Friday, which was a holiday at the city
hall, Mr. Howe kept six men at work all
day and accomplished a great deal, as the
accountants were not Interrupted. This
work of looking up bsck taxes goes back
for years and takes constant checking and
Interruptions during the dsy take up so
much time. Some of the additional clerks
authorised by the council will work until
11 o'clock each night In order to get as
much work done as possible when the office
Is quiet.
Mr. Howe said he hsd no Idea at this
time what the amount of delinquent taxes
would be. "If we can get these tsxes paid
In." said Mr. Howe, "or sell the property
for taxes, the city will be greatly benefited
financially."
Since the clerks began work on the books
under the scavenger law a large number
of property owners called at ths treasurer's
office and paid up back taxes. Just what
amount has been paid the treasurer can
not tell off hand, but he says every day
the amount Increases, as property owners
do not want to have their property listed
for sale for want of payment of taxes.
When the list of delinquents Is completed
It will be up to date and will show the
amount of taxes paid or remaining unpaid
on every piece of property in the city of
South Omaha.
City officials declare It has been the ner-
leet In the matter of psylng taxes that
has caused a portion of the bonded debt
of the city and the rapid Increase In the
Interest account held against the city by
the state fiscal agency of New York.
Hea-ret Dealk of Major Davis.
When The Bee of Saturday morning waa
distributed at the Stock exchange and
Among business men and the death 01
Major J. W. Davis waa noted there was a
feeling of general regret. The deceased
had been employed by the government at
South Omaha In the oapaclty of Inspector
for about eleven years and he was liked
and loved by all who knew him. During
the last year or two the major had been
in charge of the sanitary work of the gov
ernment In inspecting cars and directing
the disinfection of such cars as needed
cleaning. Nearly everyone at the yards
had a personal acquaintance with the
major and he alwaya had an anecdote or
a .Joke to tell. For three weeks prior to
his death the major parsed even his best
friends on the street without nodding.
Friends say he had been brooding over
some trouble. Major Davis had many po
litical friends In both parties and was par
ticularly fond of telling of early times in
Nebraska, when the construction of the
Union Paclflo railroad was going on. Many
friends In South Omaha will send floral
tributes to cover the casket of the old
veteran.
Railroad Taxes.
A communication was reoelved at the
office of City Clerk Qlllln yesterday from
John F. Stout, assistant attorney for th
Missouri Paclflo road. In relation to the
taxes of the Belt line road. Mr. Stout
says be is authorized by the Omaha Belt
Railroad company to pay the principal of
the taxes for U02 and 1903 on Its property
In the nsme of the Missouri Pacific Rail
road company. In consideration of this
payment the city Is to remit Interest and
penalties and accept the amount of the
essment in full satisfaction of the taxes
for the years mentioned. This communlca
tlon of Attorney Stout will be sent to the
council Monday and referred to the city
attorney and finance committee.
Another Bead Project.
David Anderson Is heading a movement
to secure signers to a petition calling for a
special election for the purpose of voting
bonds for park purposes and also for the
purchase of a city hall building. Both of
these propositions have been voted down
by the people. As far as surface lndlca.
tlons go, the plan is for the city to pur
chase Syndicate park and at the same
time (to buy the Watklns property at
Twenty-fifth and O streets for a site for
the erection of a city hall building. At
the present time the city has a general
bonded Indebtedness of about $170,009 and
a district Improvement debt of about
$200,000.

'It's coming again." is the mysterious
mhteper besrd among real estate men,
though Just what It Is they decline to ex
plain. That several important projects era
under way. Involving transfers of consid
erable magnitude. Is an open secret, but
the undercurrent of talk points to the be
lief that something as big aa anything
that has been pulled oft this sesson is still
pending, and la likely to culmJnite shortly.
The deal for the Turner corner, closed
during the week, leaves the Palbach cor
ner the only open lot on South Sixteenth
north of Jackson, and It Is understood
that the syndicate that negotiated the
Turner deal has the Balbach comer under
control, and this knowledge arpsrently re
moves It from the realm of speculation.
Just who and when Is about all that Is left
to be settled. Other available down tewn
property Is getting attention, and the prom
ise of the early days of the year la being
redeemed In every way. It Is a good year
for real estate owners.
N. P. Dodge, Jr., says: "There has not
been In years such a steady Inquiry in re
gard to real estate of all forma as there Is
today in Omaha. Purchasers are extremely
conservative and make a careful search
before buying, and when they have finally
settled upon the property they dslre their
one object Is to purchase It at the lowest
possible figure. All forms of real estate
are In demand, particularly Investment
property bringing a large rental In pro
portion to the price, and home property
from $1,200 to $3,000, and I might also say
the most expensive property on West Fsr
nam street In the way of houses can find
ready purchasers. One of the evidences
of the growth of Omaha Is the demand
for smart acreage tracts In the suburbs,
convenient to the car line or to a paved
street. This form of land, according to
Mr. Herd, one of the greatest experts on
real estate In the country, whq has Just
published a very Interesting book on "City
Values," rsnge In price from $300 to $2,0j0
per acre for purely garden purposes.
"I learn from men who have been en
gaged in farming in the wojtern part of
the stste that we need never fear hard
times from drouth and the destruction of
hay or grain for feeding purposes, as al
falfa Is being raised on every farm, and
when corn, wheat and hay are withering In
the sun, alfalfa gTOws rsnk and green, not
withstanding the drouth. The result Is
that the farmer will never be compelled
again to sell off his hogs and cattle, but
can feed and fatten them on alfalfa, and
every animal from the steer to the chicken
feeds upon It Not only are the farmers
safe from financial ruin, but during the
last five years they have been rolling up
profits In the country banks, snd it Is only
a question of time when a large majority
of them will retire from active work and
move to Lincoln snd Omaha to educate
their children or leave their children to
run the farm while the old folks come to
enjoy the comforts of city Ufa The suc
cessful farmer only will bring to Omaha
additional capital and further demand for
our real estate for Investment and real
denes purposes."
nestings dV Heyden report a big demand
for acre property near the city. People
working In stores, shops and factories are
beginning to realise that a piece of land
near a good market town like Omaha la
becoming more valuable every year, and
It ta a big help to the ordinary man to
have a piece where ho can have a garden
and a place to have a cow and raise chick
ens and not be compelled to buy everything
offered him In the vegetable line when he
can raise It himself and have It fresh from
hli garden. The street car company Is ex
tending It lines Into the country, making
It more convenient (or the laboring man
working "down towalo own land outside
of the city and still be near a car line and
free from city taxes. ' They report the fol
lowing sales: Five acres Improved, one
mile north of Benson, to Owen Hamer:
five acres In Benson to Jacob Bplner, to be
Improved: B06 Wool worth avenue to Maria
Wilson for a home; one acre, the northeast
corner of Thirtieth and Center avenue, to
John W. Foley for a home; lot In Dundee

whom they will build an all-modern eight-
room house.
Sweet c Best report an unusual amount
of activity In the real estate business and
a class of business that gives It the sound
of a firm bals. While the present prices
are excellent from an Investment view, they
report the majority of Inquiries come from
people Who are looking for homes and
a greater number are parties from outside
of Omaha: they at present are looking for
good properties for nonresident parties.
They report the sale of six lots at the cor
ner of Twenty-fourth and Manderson
streets, upon which three new houses are
about completed and three more to be
started within thirty days. From the fact
that people foresee a better Omaha and
higher price for real estate, there Is very
little quibbling over the present price, but
demanding "something good" Is the war
cry now, which shows a healthy condition
People that buy now will sea later thai

one In the basement," as prices are bound
to go higher. With a few weeks of good

Twelve out of sixteen lots In this block

board Is anxious to dispose of these lots
and the ordinance to vacate this portion of
Central boulevard has been passed by the
