EACH SIDE GETS A VERDICT
City Wini Hydrant EcnUl Suit and Losei
Counter Claim.
WATER COVPANY WILL FILE APPEAL
CorpsraHnsi Pars for Our Haadreal
Tfcoaaaad Dollars sad City !
aaaarie Ft a Mr Thoasand
OsTset It.
Jndga MuntrT of the fedornl court di
rected Saturday tha Jury In tha caae of
the Omaha Water company against tha
City of Omaha, for approximately Iliw.OOO
hydrant rentals for the lam half of the
year ISM and first half of the year 1!"5 to
return a verdict for the city In both of
tha combined cases, but In favor of tha
water company on tl.o counter elaim of the
city.''
Tba decision states In effect that the
water company cannot recover on Its con
tract, embodied in the ordinance of 13,
with tha city, because of Insufficient fire
pressure in tha hydrants, but the water
company la not barred from collecting for
tha actual amount of water used, wbea
that can be determined.
Tha counter claim of the city was for
approximately JXO.OUO expended In the pur
rhasa of steam Ore engines, made neces
sary by the alleged Inadequate fire hydrant
pressure, which was Submitted as an offset
to the claim of tha water company for
hydrant rentals. It was in this counter
claim that Judge Munger directed the Jury
to return a verdict against tha city.
Tha water company gave notice that tt
would appeal the case to the United States
circuit court of appeals.
Details of the Trial.
The arguments In the case were concluded
Friday evening, being almaat wholly upon
law points and before the court, the Jury
having been excused. When court con
vened. Saturday morning the attorneys for
tha water company submitted a motion
that tha court direct the jury to return a
verdict for tha plaintiffs. The motion
waa overruled, to which exceptions were
taken. The attorneys for the city filed a
like motion in both coses, both of which
were overruled.
Judge Munger said, in part, after a care
ful review of the entire case:
I have reached the conclusion after re
view of the case if it was merely a ques
tion of material fact It could be determined
by the Jury, but it becomes a question of
law. There are two caRes, one for rentals
from July 1, UNM to January 1, lftC, and the
other for hydrant renUils from January 1,
1906 to July 1, 1Scj6. An obligation Is Implied
In the contract and either party la re
required to comply with Its terms. Both
parties claim they have complied with all
these terms. The question then arises up
on the obligation of the water company
to provide ample fire protection under the
provisions of the ordinance, which also
provided for Increased water facilities,
both for domestic ue and fire protection
corresponding with the growth of the city
and the correKpondinsT Increase, of Ita pump
ing machinery and oilier devices to comply
with these growth conditions.
Essential Tarts ( Contracts.
These terms were an essential part of
the contract. The water plant was con
structed for the city as it then was, arid
I am clearly of the opinion that taking
the contract as a whole that it tins been
carried out, though complaint was made In
1K9S and lStS that the terms of the contract
were not being carried out, but this com
plaint was decided against tha city. The
city again complained In July, lH, and this
is the suit now pending.
The question of the purity of the water
supply waa then gone into at length by
the court, and it waa shown that even these
conditions were complied with.
"At all events," he said, "no complaint
had been made In all these years that the
water furnished waa not of sufficient purity,
and until the bringing of this suit."
In compliance with the request of' the
plaintiffs, the court further Instructed the
Jury that tt waa ahown by "Abbott, on
municipal corporation," that this character
of defense wua frequently resorted to with
a special view to depreciate the value of a
water plant when tha question of lta pur
chasa by a municipality was under con
temptation. The court added:
As to Additional Mains.
The next question was that the contract
urovlded that the water company should
put lu additional mnins from time to time
as needed, and additional hydrants. The
water company agreed to do this, hut the
defendants claim It has not done so. The
water company did not have the legal right
to refuse to put in these hydrants ordered
by the city, on the assumption that the
elty waa In debt, and without money in the
treasury to pay lor mem. i ins dent was
contracted at the Inception of tiae ordinance
of lxtO, and the contract explicitly directed
that . the water company should put In
hydrants then needed, and all which would
be needed in the future.
The water company had no lgal excuse
for not doing what it was directed to do
by the city. For that .reason I do not
think that the plaintiff can recover on Its
contract. . ,
R. 8. Hall, attorney for the water com
' pany. here interrupted the court with the
hurried observation that "The plaintiffs
in view of what you are about to decide.
wUh to amend their pleading according
10 the proofs submitted. (
John L. Webster, attorney for the city.
wa on his feet in an Instant and re
marked wtlh considerable emphasis: "Not
after we have waived our rights to this
Jury."
Judge Munger turned to Mr. Hull and
said:
"Tha court la not disposed to giant your
request at this time the plaintiff cannot
recover on Ita contract."
Judge Munger further said, in effect, that
tha . direction of the verdict did not bar
the plaintiffs for suing for the actual
value of the water used by the city In
tha hydrants, but that it could not re
cover on lta contract.
The Jury was then discharged by the
court, and with Its discharge the ad
journed November term of the United
fctetes circuit and district courts came to
an end.
JOINT STATEHOOD -UNPOPULAR
Not W antra hy People of
Mexico, Says Ralph 9.'
Coaaell.
Ralph 8. Connell of New Mexico, sou of
W, J. Connell, Is visiting his parents in
Omaha. He exacts to remain here but
a short time, being on his way to New York
City, where ha will spend sometime visiting
hla brother and sister, and enjoying metro
politan life.
Mr. Connell is In the sheep and goat busl
nesa at Tularoi-a and reports that branch
ot Industry, as very prosperous.
"Wool is 22H cents a pound." he says.
"Many of the ranchmen are reducing their
holdings as they feel that under the
present price It Is a good time to sell"
Many eastern people are coming In and
th ranchmen are making room for them at
prices which they feel mill warrant con
tracting their business."
Asked about the political situation, Mr.
Connell said:
Tho people who live outside of
New Mexico and particularly in tha
east were more concerned about state
hood than th people who live In New
Mexico. I believe if It were submitted to
a vote of th people on the question of
Joint statehood. It would be defeated. The
peopl there feel that If the bill should
pass, giving them Joint statehood, , tin:
distance would be so great and th 'rail
road far ao high, it would pracrlcally !
reduce th attendance at conventions to I
the holding transportation over railroads. I

WOMEN TAKE DESERVED REST
After Itrenanaa Week of Soliciting
Fanda Y. W. C. A. Declares
Respite.
Saturday a brief respit was taken
In the canvass of the Young Wo
men's Christian association and the ma
jority of the members of the visiting com.
nn tee, who have worked so strenuously
since the camalga opened Thursday, are
spending the day at home preparing for
the Sabbath. But the women can afford
th rest for. though the finance committee
has made no definite statement as yet, it
is known that something over 15.000 had
been raised Saturday morning. Besides
this, the committee has under consideration
several big propositions from some of the
business firms that can not yet be an
nounced and the result of which may not
be ' definitely determined until near the
close of the campaign, If they are accepted
Some of the people from whom the largest
private subscription are expected, have not
been communicated with as yet a number
being out of town and these will un
doubtedly swell the fund materially when
they come in. The committee la also In
communication with a number of former
Omaha citizens, who still have extensive
property interests here; also several large
eastern manufacturers and others who en
Joy extensive patronage from local busi
ness firms and It la hoped that these will
contribute liberally
HOW THE MISTAKE WAS MADE
Chalrin la of Committee Proclaimed
He Waa Joseph Flary to
Unell tha Mob.
Since tha report became current Thurs
day 'night that the man selected at the
head of the committee which examined the
county Jail in search of the three negroes
charged with the rrurder of Edward Flury
waa Joseph Flury, a brother of the victim,
much speculation has been indulged in by
people who were not at the scene aa to the
origin and reason for this report. The fact
1; simple enough. When the man who
acted In this capacity came out of the
Jail and stood on the Jail steps He ad
dressed the crowd, saying: "Now, gentle-,
men, I am Joseph Flury, brother of Ed
Fliry. In company with these other men
I have examined this Jail and I can tell
you the prisoners are not here."
Those who heard these words and did not
know the speaker' from Joseph Flury hsd
no. reason then to doubt what he said.
They did not realise that the speech was
made at the suggestion of the officers in
side, who were doing everything they could
to quell the disturbance.
