"He's a fancy liar." waa the way in which
Sheriff Hackeiey of Brighton, Colo., "slsed
up" i. B. Pre ton when he saw him at St.
Joseph's hospital yesterday afternoon.
Sheriff Hackeiey came to Omaha to identify
Preston as the man who shot and killed
Night Marshal Kills in Brighton early last
Friday morning. Preston told ths sheriff
the same story as he has told to ths polios
here, namely, that he had never been in
Colorado, but had come here from the Pan
handle part of Texas.
"I certainly believe be is the man that
did the Job at Brighton," continued Sheriff
Hackeiey. "I have telegraphed to Denver
to bare the man come on who can identify
him. This is the bustler at the Jockey
stablra. from uhem the three men hired

on the night before the shooting of Ellia
He wll arrive here aometime Thursday
afternoon and if be identifies Preston aa
the man I will get requisition papers and
take him back.
"Feeling cut there la intense against the
man who shot Marshal Ellis and I don't
meet to aay what might happen to him if
the people knew he waa the man wbo did
the shooting and could lay their hands on
him. I certainly believe he is the man.
One hole was punctured in the heretofore
Indisputable story told by Preston, when
Information was received Wednesday from
the Ix-never aulhoritlea that the picture of
Preston, which had beea taken in the hos
pital here, had been identited In Denver.

A telegram was received late Wedneedsy

The city clerk announced that he had.

and eevernl consultation with the city at

to him In the case, and those which belong
to the tax commissioner. The attorney win
give him an opinion Incorporating the find
ings within a day or two. The clerk Is
required to draw up and prepare a blank
schedule and In this, from data fumlabed
by the railroads, the tax commissioner Is
to list the taxable property under the law.
It waa thought at first reading that this
listing waa to be done by tbe clerk and
he asked extra help, but with thia method
he will not need It. and the tax commis

The water main broke at Twentieth and
N streets yesterdsy morning about
o'clock. The break w as caused by a set
tling of the Intersection at that point.
There has been a leak of aome kind at that
pomf either from the main or from the old
sewer, which has caused much damage for
several wrecks to the progress of the work
In the new six-foot sewer tunnel which
passes under this Intersection at a dTtb of
seventy-five feet. When the water had
flowed long enough to partly undermine
the Intersection tbe cave followed and
broke the main. The full head of water
found Its wsy to the river through the
completed section of the new sewer, but the
Intersection was badly washed until- the
water company closed the gate of the main
at Twenty-fourth and N streets, when
this was done It was found that the new
section of the sewer was not damagVd at
all. The main and the old sewer were both
considerably Injured. Tbe east end of tbe
city is without water today, and other
parts are supplied with water which Is
muddy, owing to the disturbance caused by
the break. It will require a few days to
restore the damaged main and repair the
aewer.

A complaint charging extortion will be
filed by the county attorney Friday against
J. I. Fee, the man who threatened to blow
up President Luther Drake of the Mer
chants National bank It ti.W0 in cash was
not handed over to him.
That thia was not the first effort made
by Fee to obtain cash Is Indicated by the
fact that E. O. Carson called at the station
and identified Fee as the man who at
tempted to hold him up on Thirty-sixth
street between Farnam and Harney streets
the night of February 27. At the time
Carson reported the boldup be gave a de
scription of his assailant, which corre
sponds exactly with the description of Fee.
Luther Drake continues to receive tele

The SHw.gO which was thrown Into a pos

at North Platte a day or two ago has been
turned over to the Union Pacific railroad
authorities by Chief Clerk Keller of the
railway mail service, tbe transfer being
made Wednesday evening upon authority
of the Postofflce department
'My action in this matter seems to hsve
been sharply criticised," said Mr. Keller,
but under the circumstances we had no
other recourse. When the purse was
thrown Into the car It was then on United
States territory and In charge of the Post-
office department We had no right to
turn it over on the demand of anybody, aa
It was then under the direct charge of th6
Postofflce department We were not sup
posed to know where It came from and
had no more right to turn it over on the
demand of the railroad company without
authority from the Postofflce department
than we would have to turn over any other
matter In the postal car. Mr. O'Neill was
not delayed by the action, of the Postoffics
department as I understand that he Is still
In North Platte. The matter was at once
reported to me and I directed the postal
(Jerks to hold the purse until tbe depart
ment could be communicated with. This
was done as quickly ss possible and the
money has been turned over to the railroad
company to be restored to Mr. O'Neill."

resolution and President Johnson and Ccun
men Davis, Brucker, Qsasser. Bedford,
McOovern and Sheldon voted to revoke
the resolution.
After the original resolution was re
voked Dsvls introduced a resolution for
the introduction at the next regular s
slon of the council an ordinance covering
a complete franchise to govern the street
railway company, the electric company
the Brandels, Hayden Bros, and any and
all other corporations and stores whloh
now hsve or who In the future may want
to build underground conduits or subways
or otherwise use the streets and alleys of
Omaha. This will be put to a vote of the
people, which, under the charter, is the
only way a franchise can be granted. The
council or the city engineer neither have
the right to grant franchises or permits to
use tbe streets and alleys for underground
passages, says Councilman Davis.

Before the council, la special session
Thursday morning, summarily revoked the
resolution aimed at the street railway
company, which is selling power contrary,
It is said, to the provisions of its franchise.
Assistant City Attorney Dunn and Assist
ant Manager Lousaler of the street railway
company both aald Uicy welcomed the pro
posed investigation.
"The tlm. is ripe when It ought to be
settled once and for all in the courts
what are the duties of the Omaha and
Council Bluffs Street Railway company and
what are tbe rights of the people and
whether the traction company is to be
allowed to disobey the lama, or whether
the people of Omaha are supreme." says
Assistant City Attorney Dunn.
"Since the question has been brought up
and the street railway company is charged
with tearing up' the streets of Omaha and
using them for purposes other than for th
operation of cars, I think it is well that
the matter .ha been referred to this de
partment and an investigation instituted to
determine Just what rights to the streets
Uis railway company haa, and whether the
traction company or the people are to con
trol the atreeta. I recollect that year after
year the council haa passed resolution
after resolution compelling the traction
company to tear up old and unused tracks
on streets which have been abandoned. The
company has been profuse in its promises
to comply, but has not. The council has
also required It to repave sections of streets
where It haa torn the pavement up, but thia
work is also unfinished."
No Recent gaasslaatloa.
Tbe legal department of tbe city haa
not made a recant examination of the va
rious franchises under which tbe street
railway company is operating, but tbe de
partment gives out ths Information that it
is practically positive it has not the right
to sell power to individuals or corporations,
but that all It ia allowed to do is to op
erate cara. 1
Vnder the original resolution bad It been
found thst the franchise does not give the
traction company the right to sell power..
the legal department under the resolution
would have ordered the destruction of all
its underground conduits and would have
instituted legal proceedings against tt on
the ground of maintaining a nuisance and
of obstructing the city's streets and alleys,
tiie penalty for conviction being either fine
or imprisonment of the responsible officials
of the company.
Ia addition to the conduit under the alley
from Seventeenth to Sixteenth street
through which power is transmitted to the
Hayden Broa. store, it la found that It haa
another underground conduit on Tenth
street from Farnam to Douglas street
through which it transmits power to the
Klopp-Bartlett Printing company. The
company also sells power to the Parton
Gallagher and McCord-Brady wholesals
houses and the Burkley Printing company.
