Judge Mitnger of the Unitefl States circuit
court has Issued an order on the petition
Cf Greene. BreckenrldKn A Klnsler, attor
neys for William F. Gooden. which will
have the effect of bringing to a head at an
early date th troubles which have raised
tip hostile faction In the camp of the
Royal Highlander!!, a Scottish fraternal
and beneficial order having headquartcfa
In Nebraska, with rnstles In many other
eta ten.
These Internal rTisrnslons In the order
bave had more or lens publicity during the
last few months. Trie culmination, appar
ently, came when the executive committee
attempted to remove from office the chief
medical director of the organization. Dr.
William F. Oooden of Denver. The doctor
started a fight which has brought the order
and Its affairs Into court before now, but
the present suit takes the place of a pre
vious ant Ion and will open up the whole
affair.
The defendants In the present stilt are the
Royal Highlanders. William F. Sharp, most
Illustrious protector, president; Frank J.I
Sharp, chief secretary; Augustus E. Slek- .
man. chief treasurer: Charles A. Sharp, jL.
J. Slekman, Frederick Hank. M. B. Treat.
Isaiah W. Haughey and John W. Doe.
These are known as the high prudential
chiefs and constitute a majority of the
executive committee of the order.
The order of Judge Munger rites the de
fendants on or before August 10, at 9 a. m.,
to show cause why they refrain from rec
ognising William F. Oooden as chief phys
ical examiner of the Royal Highlanders
and from being enjoined from recognising
Isaiah W. .Haughey as. chief physical exam
iner and from sending? applicants to him
(or examination.
Some More) Cause Wanted.
The defendants are further ordered to
how cause why they should not ba en
joined from participating In the delibem
tlons of the executive castle at Its ap
proaching session to be held at Denver
t September 11, 19f6. or at any other special
. meeting or session of said executive castle
ji0 during the pendency of this suit, and why
f the members of said executive caatln, who
are not specially designated by name, but
I comprehensively designated under the name
I of John Doe, and particularly the de
I fendant, W. E. Sharp, most Illustrious jro
I tector of the Royal Highlanders, and his
I successors In office, should not be enjoined
from calling any special or other session or
meeting of said executive castle during the
pendency of this suit or wntll turther or
ders of the court,
"And. It being charged In the bill, which
,,'s positively verified, that you, the said
vV. E. Sharp. Frank J. Sharp, Augustus E.
f fiUbman I. J Alekma.n. Frederick Hanke
and A. M. Treat, have wrongfully and
fraudulently misappropriated and disbursed
the funds of said association to your own
use and benefit, yon are hereby required to
show cause by the time aforesaid, August
10, why you, and each of you, should not
be enjoined from participating In the man
agement of the association pending the ac
counting between you and It, prayed for."
Election for Delegates.
1 Thw dofsndniiM) are ordered .to show cause
wTiy a suitable person should not be named
by the court to call election to name dele
gates -to general convention to frame a
representative form of gorernment In ac
cordance with the statutes of Nebraska,
and why such person so directed shall not
in tbs meantime be ordered and empowered
to take charge of the association. Its prop
erty, funds, business and affairs and man
age the same under the orders of the court
until said association adopts and puts In
operation a representative form of govern
ment and until further orders of the court.
' The petition on which Judge Munger's
order was granted Is a very lengthy docu
ment, embracing as It does all the edicts
and by-laws of the order. It starts off with
the statement that under Its charter and
the laws of Nebraska, the Royal Highland
ers should have a representative form of
government. In addition to Its lodge work
and forms of ritual. The edicts and by
laws are then set forth In extenso and the
TKarge Is made that they were not adopted
- f i duly and lawfully constituted repre
rentatlve body of the association. Of the
twenty-ftva members of the executive com
mittee who adopted the edicts and by-laws
It Is crargad that only nine were repre
sentatives or elective members, and that
the other sixteen were entitled to no part
or vole In tha deliberations.
Charge Laws Tampered With,
It Is charged that as tne edicts and by-
. lawj stand now they have been tampered
yvlth sine they were adopted and that
unaer merrj ma most mucinous protector.
s who is also president, "Is enabled to main
tain the absolute control and domination
of said association and to perpetuate him
self and bis appointees in office Indefinitely,
regardless of the will or wishes of the ma
jority of the members, and Is at all times
able to maintain a majority control through
lis friends, partisans and fellow conspir
ator." After reciting wherein the by-laws were
changed after adoption and before filing
with the secretary ot state, the petition
goes on to recite the appointment of Dr.
Good en as chief physical examiner and the
effort to depose him from that office. Then
ramlng the high prudential chle.fs consti
tuting a majortly of the executive com
mittee, the petition says:
Forgetting their sacred trust and duty
and designing and contriving to Injure and
defraud said association and its members,
the defendants have conspired together for
the purpose of. looting and grafting, em
beixllng and misappropriating and fraud
ulently misapplying and diverting the funds
to their own use and benefit.
It is further alleg-ed that the defendants
are at present doing these acts and have
been for some time past. Manipulation of
salaries and of contracts for reralia Is
also alleged and the petition goes with
minute particularity Into many and various
alleged Instances of wrongdoing.

CASSELL LAW OT COMES UP
AotofLut Legislature Heretofore Over
looked Attracts Attention.
PUTS INHERITANCE TAX IN ROAD FUND
Gas Harte Appears Sot to Hare Been
Oblivions to Fart that As
other 'onnlr Job Is
la Slsbt,
In connection with th renewed agitation
for tha collection of the state Inheritance
tax from estates in Douglas county, It has
been discovered that by the provisions of
House Roll No. 90. Introduced by Mr. Cas
sell of Otoe county, this county will be In
line to have a system of permanent road
ways out In the country at no distant date.
That Is, of course, providing the tax can
be collected.
Cassell's law provides that tha county
treasurer ot each county shall keep all
taxes collected from estates under the In
heritance tax law In a separate fund, to be
at the disposal of the Hoard of County
Commissioners. It further provides that
this money can be expended only on perma
nent roadways outside the limits of Incor
porated cities and villages. They majr come
up to the limits of said cities or villages,
however.
In the case of paved roods the paving
shall be not less tl.un nine or more than
twelve feet In width. The total width Is to
be not greater than twenty-five feet, and
alongside the paved part.' there shall be a
dirt road.
This law does not apply to estates pro
bated prior to July 1 of this year, but
under tt the E. V. Nash estate and some
others would be liable. If a few such es
tates as that left by Mr. Nash should be
levied on In the coursa of a few years the
county commlsfioners would find at their
command for permanent road purposes
fund th.it would mount away up Into the
thousand. One lawyer who was discussing
the matter cited the estste of. the lata
Frank Murphy, which he said would have
been liable to this permanent road fund for
hvtween So.000 and fO.'VO.
Seta Peoplo ftot Asloep.
Kven though there la as jet no money In
tha proposed fund, there Is a robust rumor
floating about the court house to the effect
that some parties have kept their eya on
the t'asat-ll law all through and that, friends
ot ambitious road builders bve already
got busy. The best Information obtainable
seems to point to Former County Corn
mtsaioner Gus Harts as having the Inside
track as a candidate thus far. It tha office
of read supervisor abvuid be cxeatad by tha
county board in Its ntanagement of. the
fund.
From present appearances it does not
seem probabje that the conference between
tne county judge, county attorney and the
attorneys and other representatives ot
estates can be held within a week. The
county attorney's office has not yet
amended its applications for the appoint
ment of appraisers In accordance with the
suggestion of Judge VInsonhaler, and until
this Is done the latter will not name a
date for the conference. The Judge is
away at present and will be absent until
Monday, so that in any event It w!M be the
end of next week before the conference
will be held. After the date Is sot there
are a great many people to be notified.
DODGE COUNTY PUTS IN CLAIM
Asks Douglas County Court to Allow
Urge Sam from Katate of
David M. Owen.
John W. Graham, county attorney for
Dodge county, has filed in the Douglas
county court a claim against the estate of
the lata David M. Owen. It Is set forth
that In July, 1904. Mr. Owen entered Into a
contract with Dodge county to excavate
aruj construct a certain ditch, that Owen
lias since died, and that the county, by
reason of the faiulre to construct the ditch
In accordance with the contract, has been
damaged to the sum of (2,640.
The estate of Mr. Owen is still unsettled
In the probate court and Is one of those
which Is artleged to come within the pro
visions of the state Inheritance law.

Reports for the fiscal year ending July
31 are coming in and Judging from the
figures the municipality will have money
to burn during the present llHcal year. L'p
to dule there Is a total balance In bunk
from the last fiscal year of lil,6Hi The
levy at 7 mills brings in, 011 a valuation
of a revenue of JIM.SIO. Taking
from this sum the lu per cent reserve of
I1S.491, there U available for warrants of
HK419. Added to Uils the balances car
ried over thakes a total of $jou.64ti. In ad
dition to this revenue comes the royalties,
licenses, fines, etc.. which last year
amounted to U,!U. This will make a total
of J1J,5(9 which the mayor und council
has to spend for municipal purposes during
the rresent liscal year, which expires at
the end of Juij' next.
While this looks like a very large Bum
for maintaining a government over about
S0.WV) people, the city authorities assert
that the sum Is none too large, and that
even with economy there will not be a
large balance left.
The fire and police departments cost
about I.V.00U each year. Street lighting and
tha water hydrant rentals take 12V)0 each
a year. The public library must have
S5.oni). Interest on outstanding bonds takes
up about 146.00 each year and street re
pairs coBt in the neighborhood of 15,W).
Salaries of city officials and employes cut
quite a figure and minor expenses keep
depleting the funds day by day. The bal
ance left this year In the treasury is the
largest In the history of the city.
Coming expenaes will be large, as the
fire department headquarters building Is
to be built at a cost of llO.Onn, and this
will necessarily call for more fire fighting
apparatus, and an increase in the number
of men. Then there is a demand for a
patrol wagon, a better fire alarm system
and an increase In the number of patrol
men. Election expenses must also be con
sidered and rental for the building occu
pied as a city l.all.
The general bonded debt of the city now
amounts to V&Sm and the special Indebt
edness StC.tinS, making a total of I7ET.6ES.
As the municipality guarantees the spe
cial lmprokmect bonds U la Labia, so
that the $;2,655 may be figured In with the
general debt. None of the money to be
derived from taxation or from royalties or
other sources can be used for paving, curb
ing or grading.
I nlon l'sclSe Bays Property.
The I'nion Taclfic Railroad company has
purchased the triangular piece of ground
east of the present depot' for depot pur
poses. The purchase price, $R,ffj0, has been
paid and the deed Is to be recorded today.
This purchase terminates a long term of
negotiations between John J. Ryan, P. E.
Iler, John A. McBhane and the t'nlon Pa
cific. At times It looked as If the deal
would hever 1 consummated, but Ryan
stuck to IiIh original proposition and last
evening showed up with a check for the
purchase- price. Some years ago Ryan
bought from the school district the greater
portion of the triangle. The South Omaha
Land confpany owned the north end abut
ting on M street and the point near N
Htreet. In order to consummate the deal
it was necessary for Ryan and the officers
of the land company to reach an agree
ment. This tract has a fronting on M street of
104 feet and on Twenty-seventh of 271 feet.
In order to make a deal with the land com
pany so that he could sell the triangle In
tact to the Union Pacific It was necessary
for Ryan to transfer or trade some of
his other property In the vicinity to the
land company.
With the money paid it looks now as If
South Omaha was sure of having a pas
tenger depot before a great while. When
the proposed depot Is built the Union Pa
cific proposes to go ahead with trackage
Improvements planned months ago. The
tact that tne deal is closed will be good
news to South Omaha people who have
boen working for a passenger depot for
) ears.
Brass Thieves Busy Again.
In spite of all the railroad detectives
can do thieves continue to steal brass Jour
nals and other fittings from storehouses In
the railroad yards. Only a night or two
ago a railroad storehouse was broken
Into and a quantity of brass stolen. A por
tion of the stolen property was found In
a field and watch put on, but the thieves
did not come as expected to remove tha
plunder. Every effort Is being made by
tha South Omaha police to locate the
thieves and secure the balance of the
plunder.
Old Officers Re-elected.
When the annual meeting of the South
Omaha Library board was held reports
were read and then came the election of
officers. Bruce McCulloch was chosen presi
dent. W. 8. King vice president and Mrs.
C. L. Talbot secretary. Miss Jane Abbott,
librarian, submitted -a report which will
be transmitted to tha council later. The
report shows that tha library Is In good
financial condition. With tha amount to
be derived from the 19"5 levy some new
books may be purchased.
Held Without Hall.
Joseph Koxlowskl was given a prelimi
nary hearing .In police court Friday and
was held to the district court without bail.
The hearing occupied nearly all day. Most
of the testimony fciven was the same as at
the coroner's Inquest. After being bound
over Koxlowskl was taken to the county
Jail. The attorneys for Kozlowskl assert
that they expect to have the charge of
murder in the first degree changed to man
slaughter and ball fixed. A large number
of friends of William Rollins, colored, who
was killed by Kozlowskl last Sunday night,
were present in the courtroom during the
entire hearing.
Adklns Takes Hold.
With Mayor Koutsky out of the city W.
P. Adklns, president of the city council, is
acting mayor. About the first thing Mr.
Adklns did Friday morning was to Instruct
the city engineer to employ enough men to
