TOUCHES ON reiNTS IN APPRAISEMENT Volnmlnon Donmrnt Giles Position Takri by Company In Proceed ings to Determine Win of the Plant. The affidavit of Theodore C. Woodbury of New York, president of the Omaha Water company, which was filed In the United States circuit court Thursday even ing, relates to the suit of the Clly of Omaha and Water board of the City of Omaha against Daniel W. Mead, John W. Alvord, George It. Benxenberg and the Omaha Water company on the matter of the appraisement of tno water plant, uuJ has nothing to do with the. Injunction and contempt proceeding recently appealed to the circuit court of appeals. Mr. Woodbury was summoned as a wit Bess In the case, but succeeded In evading the service of summons while he was In Omaha during the early part of October. The affidavit was executed In New York on October It Several pages of the docu ment relate to the history of the water company. Its bonded Indebtedness, etc. These references Include the portions of the plant at Florence, South Omaha. East Omaha, Dundee and Omaha. Reference Is made to the legislative enactment of Feb ruary, 1903, relative to the purchase of the plant and the ordinances of the city coun cil following. What He t'nderstnod. Reference Is also made to the appoint ment of Alvord, Benzcnberg and Mead as appraisers to estimate the value of the plant. President Woodbury says: My understanding and that of other di rectors was that the rlty had power under Its charter to purchase and operate the plant without as well as within the city purchase the entire bvbKmii. the water com-I pany to appoint an engineer on Its behalf body from the chilly night air, Cora Clark for making an estimate of the purchase .' was found Thursday night trying to sleep Prlce- I under the Douglas street bridge. It was The appraisement Is gone Into at some nearly 12 o'clock when a watchman dls length and the admission Is made that "the covered the woman and notified the police, water company appeared before the appials- , The woman was brought to the matron's ers from time to time between July, 1903, and January, 1905, but the water company gave no testimony through witnesses with regard to the value of the plant, but left that to the appraisers," and adds: Since then the appraisers have held 00 pars or age ana uvea an her lire near numerous meetings and would have sub- i Tecumseh, Neb., never having left that part mitted an appraisement but for the In-I of the state until a week ago, when she junction. The water company has not .... . vilt fH,i. A,i,i.. -i.- Interposed any obstacle to d.-lav 'he com- WPn' f, Ms" friends at Atchison. She ar pletion of the appraisement but desires It rived here without money, and rather than completed as early as possible. The act tell anyone of her plight slept under the or January m. ihod, amnnmg tne act of 1903. provides that the water board might contract with any iiiin lulmilit w mii.nnnt to supply It with wnfer T nm nf tli, opinion that this new law was to enabl" the city of Omaha to operate a system In adlacent communities as well as its own. Not until I was on the point of sailing to Europe did I have any other Idea that the city or water board proposed to pre vent or delay the completion of the ap praisement. I believe It was because the water board feared the system would be appraised at a higher price than counsel for the water board publicly advised that the city should pay. t have no hesitancv in saying that the reduction of rates was trado by the water board for the purpose of affecting th appraisement with the ex pectation of lltleatlon. In the course of which they might hope to obtain a valua tion of the plant on more restricted evi dence than that before the appraiser and otherwise to delay, embarrass and per haps defeat the apnrfilsrmcnt and pre vent the purchase elected to be nade un der the provisions of ord'nance No. 432. Fear Eminent Domain I.btv. I am Informed and believe that the pur pose has been openly declared by rounsel for the Water board to be to defeat the appraisement and thus clear the way for an attempt to acnuire the company's water works plant and the operation thereof through resort to eminent domain, which says the city may appoint the appraisers. It is In furtherance of this ptirnose. I am Informed and believe, that the attempt was made to Induce the city council, after au thorizing the city attorney to confess Judg ment for the amount due on hvdrant rent als to January 1, 1903. to revoke that au thority with which the citv attorney had not complied, and instruct the citv attorney to contest the action brought bv't'ie water company in this court for the collection of those hydrant rentals, and that In pur suance of the same policy the citv Is con testing the company's claim for the hvdrant rentals due July 1. 1905. Although Judgment for hydrant rentals which had previously become due pending the appraisement for which It was necessary to confess Judg ment because of the limitation of the act of 1903, of right to raise the necessary money by tax levy, had been confessed and war rants Issued for the amounts of the judg ments. Talks of a Salt. I believe the citizens of Omaha are In terested in the appraisement and desire having it completed without delav. I fur ther believe that when the appraisement of the entire system Is completed all question mat tne city ana vi ater board can raise can be settled by proper suit. If delayed the appraisement may bo Imnerlllrri in which case the water company would suffer irrfp'" oie ius. The water company has recornlr.eri tho right of the city to purchase the vin, unorr no? urninance oi ana so rar rrom interposing delay agreed to the appointment I of appraisers Korne months before the time i wnen tne city s riKiu to muKe the purchase , arnvcu, nmuo cnons to xurnisn proper rnruuirs ul iHt'ri soon as p0S8lme Since August, IWO. the water comnanv hi,s expended on enlargement and Improvements w.ia in casn. tience interference with the appraisement at this stage can only result In great detriment to the water com pany and involve further expensive litlga tlon and postpone Indefinitely the acquire ment of the water plant by the city and result in no fair compensatory advantages to the city. Answer Piled In snlt. The Water board and the city of Omaha filed an answer in the fnlted States circuit court Friday afternoon In the case of the Omaha Water company against the City of Omaha and the Wattr Board of the City of Omaha. The petition alleges that the water company has failed to perform Its part of the contract with the city, and that It has failed to furnish the number of hydrants as provided In the contract. The water company has failed and neglected to settle and purify the water furnished the city us provided In section I of ordinance 42). and that said water Is not good for domestic purposes. Section S of ordinance 4i3. as amended by ordinance 430, requires the water company to furnish pumping machinery sufficient to throw water at stated eleva tions In various points of the city through one-lncn nozzles, but as alleged in the pe tition they have repeatedly failed -to do so. Consequently the city has been compelld to purchase and maintain steam fire engines at a great expense. The water company, It Is further alleged, has failed to make promised extensions of its works, pipes, mains and hydrants, and consequently is not entitled to rentals for such incompleted works and extensions, and that the value of the water furnUhed by the water com pany to the city from December 31, 1U04. to July 1. 19u6. doen not exceed IS.ooo. The petition further claims that the city ruvi been put to an expense of $S1.46.58 from January 1. 1601. to July 1, 1905, by the failure of the water company to comply with Its contract and conditions of . franchise, and hence the city la entitled to have and re cover from the Omaha Water company the sum of txl.64S.68, and Judgment Is asked for that amount with interest from July 1, 1906, and costs of suit. Ilord Has t: no a ah of Wrecks. T. B. Hord and his wife of Central "it y. NVb., are In Omaha trom a trip through Woiiung during which they were unfortu nate enough to be In the wreck which oc lurred on the Cheyenne & Northern branch .f the Colorado Southern railroad at Horsx t'retk last Tusday. Speaking of the ex perience, Mr. Hard said: "Just as soon as I hmrd the first bump nf the wheels on the tit-s I knew whst was coming and tried to get In position to receive th.- shock as old my wife. We hung to the seats as hard as euuld aud whu the curs rulled stuwly over were able to keep from falling aslnt the side of the ear The soft dirt which had been dumped there, though It was the cause of the trouble, was verv convenient In breaking the force of the falling coaches. I don't think I uttered a word as we pitched off the grade an.l It don't eeeni to me that I was frlKhtened. Mv nerves were strung to a pretty severe tension, as I saw after wards. We each got some slight bruises, of course, but not severe enough to delay us more than the trains were delayed. I don t think I care to have the experience re peated."

Mr. Hayward Is a member of the firm of Halter Hayward. who were fined In the lower court of Douglas county for us ing the American flag as advertising, and who appealed the case to the supreme court, which decided against them Thurs day. "I rave not consulted my attorneys yet," said Mr, Hayward, "but It Is possible that the case will be appealed to the supreme court of the United States. It is not that the matter is of any great Importance, but I want tov see Justice done.

Ciry AND COUNTY REACH AN AGREEMENT Machine Will Be Kept Open an Hour After State Polls Close to Comply vrlth the City Charter. An agreement was reached Friday regard ing the use of the voting machines for the sewer bond election on November 7. City Attorney Lambert and County Attorney Slabaugh held a number of conferences and It was agreed yesterday that there would be no objection on the part of the county to the machines being kept open until 7 p. m. on the evening of election fcr the sewer bond proposition. As the agreement now stands, the ma chines are to be opened when the pnlls close at 6 p. m. and the general election tally taken off. This will consume only a few minutes. The machines will then be locked and the restricted voter's lever used by the Judges when a voter desires to cast a ballot for or against the sewer bonds. General elections call for the closing of the polls at S p. m.. while city elections and at special elections the polls must be kept open until 7 p. ra.. There seemed to be some objection at the start on the part of the county officials to have the machines closed at 6 p. m. Had this been done it would have necessitated the printing of ballots and the using of boxes for the one hour after the regular polls close. Mr. Lambert thinks that there will be no further controversy over this matter, since the plan outlined here has met with the approval of the county attorney. Child Killed by Heavy Waaon. Frank, the 6-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Landon, was run over and killed by a heavy wagon belonging to the South Omaha Ice and Coal company late Friday afternoon. The child was playing on the pavement at Twenty-sixth and O streets when a team drawing a wagon loaded with 2,700 pounds of cement turned the corner. In an attempt to reach the side walk the youngster fell and before the team could be stopped one of the front wheels passed over the head, crushing the skull. Quite a number of people witnessed the accident and the boy was at once picked up and carried into the home of the parents, a couple of doors from the corner. Before a physician arrived the child died. Undertaker Brewer was notified and the body removed to the morgue, where an inquest will be held today by Coroner Brailey. Chief of Police Brlggs has the name of the driver and of several persons who witnessed the accident. These will be summoned to appear at the Inquest. Investla-atlnn- need's Death.
