KIND-HEARTEDMAN LOSES OUT
Fine Stcheaie Pat I'p by Prisoners
Works On Wart bat Falls
the .Other. ...
Henry O'Connor has been sentenced to
ten days In Jdil because he has a kind heart,
because ho unselfishly sought to help a
fellowman, because to a friend ln need he
proved a friend Indeed. This may seem
paradoxical, but It hi true. And though It
is the truth, it affords no argument for
those reformers who declare the present
court and Judicial system Is wrong. It hap
pened this way:
Last Monday Henry was sentenced to
five days In Jail. At the same session of
police court one Pat O'Connor was sen
tenced to thirty laya In JaiV
Now, the O'Connors back In Ireland were
a clan ever noted far the mutual help they
gave each other ln trouble. And the two
descendants of the clan above mentioned
had no sooner been sentenced than the;
put their heads together to see In what
manner they might help each other and
foil the courts, and Jailers, their mutual
foes. Ihey did this by the simple expedient
of swapping names and personalities. Henry
became Pat end Fat became Henry. And
when the time of Henry was up Pat went
forth a tree man. The real Henry lay low
until Pat had time to make his "get away"
and then he arose in righteous wrath and
demanded to know why he was being .de
tained in Jail beyo'nd the five days to which
he had been sentenced. They said he had
been sentenced .to thirty days. But hs
pointed out that his name was Henry
O'Connor and not Tat O'Connor and that
he had served bis time. And he demanded
his rights.
Eo they turned the astute Henry loose,
but before he had gone a block an officer
who followed from the Jail had him In cus
today again. Ha was charred with va
grancy and in police court was sentenced
to ten days.

IOWA LOSES AT EAST OMAHA
Claim to land Knocked'Out by Judge

EFFECT WELL BE FAR-BEACHING
Cload to Title Which Ia Retarded
Improvements , at Mae Lake la
.. r Lifted aad the War la .
Jiw Clear.
Judge Smitli U. McPherson of Council
Bluffs has handsd down a decision in the
East Omaha land case in the United States
circuit court which knocks out the claim
nr f)ia .Int. nr inwn in line IQ ma IKIIU
df the East Omaha Land company, abou:
Sixty landhoider. and land claimed by
r. . j i 1 1 ..I. .......
Crelghton and Redlck estates
The effect of this decision will be far
reaching, aa far as Omaha la concerned, as
the cloud on the title to this land has kept
back many improvements In East Omaha.
James Wiison of Chicago was in Omaha a
short time ago to arrange for the opening
of Courtland Beach, but the question of
title deterred him. Representatives of the
Creighton estate wired him Saturday that
a decision had been rendered clearing the
t'tle and he probably will nalurn to Omaha
andbegln work at once to put the beach
In order for kummer business.
The land occ,Med by tho Omaha Rod ind
Gun club also has been in controversy and
now that a decision has been reached that
club can make better Improvements and
In fact may acquire some land pt Its own.
How tho Warriors Lined I p.
W. D. Mo Hugh represented the Creighton
estate, Arbert gwartslander and O. C. Red
lck the Redlck estate, F. H. Gaines the
Detroit syndicate, which claimed 130 acres
north of tbe Union Pacific shops, and Cro
foot tt Bcott represented the East Omaha
Land company. This company has spent
XjO,O0O In making improvements ln East
Omaha, but the work came to a standstill
some years ago when this suit was started.
Now that the matter la settled the company
is ready to pcceed with Improvements.
The contestants were C- B. Han nan.

came effective atemporary injunction was
secured which Judge McPherson has now
made permanent: -The state claimed there
waa a channel ln the river Just north of
Locust street which made an Island. When
the clique was knocked out, the slate
stepped ln to claim its right. Another ap
propriation will have to be made before
the caso can be carried up.
Besides the large landholders benefited
by the decision, are about sixty people liv

homes who will derive the benefit of hav
ing . the cleud removed from their title,
Iowa had passed a law ordering all Islands
In the river to be sold, but It was shown
that the East Omaha land was a accretion
Instead of an Island.
What the Caart Holds.'
Judge McPherson held:
This court' finds that there never was an
island surrounded by navigable waters.

1 except in limes 01 nign waier, wnen oc-
1 csslonally some large logs would be rafted
through, or rlsnerman paes through ln
skiffs and small boats tq shorten their
route. And the holding of the court Is,
that the state has never had any claim
to the local lull ln tiuestion of any so-called
Island; and of course if there wss no
inland, there could be no accretions to the
north that would pass to the state. And
this court further holds thst any proprie
tory right tho state ever held. If It had
such rlaht, hfcS been losU by acquiescence
for a quarter of a century, and It would
be a grest wrong to take these lands from
plaintiffs, most of whom bought snd paid
for them, and take them against their
will and without compensation.
The equities of the rases are with plain-

TOO TIRED TO WALK OUT FREE
Prisoner Wants Elevator to Take Hina
Down After Getting;
Discharge.
Thomas Murray, a glgantto fellow with
the true tired look about him which char
acterlzes the knights of the anti-work so
ciety, turned away from tha bar of Justice
after being discharged In police court.
Noting his tired look, Court Clerk Uahoney
facetiously called to him to take the eleva
tor in the hall to go downstairs.
Murray was evidently too tired to detect
the facetious note ln the clerk'a voice. He
shuffled out into the ball. In about flvo
minutes he appeared again within the room,
shuffled up to the desk and looked wearily
around.
"What do you want?" asked City Prose
cutor Daniel.
Murray took a long breath . and raised
enough energy to answer.
"Wher's the elevator?" ha asked.
An officer Jerked the big fellow to tha
do,.- and pointed to tha steps.
Realizing thst there was no elevator,
Murray ri-slgned himself to walking down.
