to bear on the last fight, nr what l
supposed to be the Inst flglit, over the
estsls of the late Count Jrhn A. Orelghton.
Argument began yesterday and will lasi
through this foTenoon on the first point In
volved. The ult now up has Its litt: ramifica
tions and subquestlons. but the main propo
sition la the disposition of $l'O.0H0. Thla
mi left to establish a working girl s home,
but the provision was held Inva'ld by
Judge Leslie In county court. An appeal
wss takan to the district court by the late
John A. Schenk of the executors.
Ths other executors arc John D. Crelgh
ton and John A. McShane, who aa two of
the fifteen legal heirs, will share In the
HW.OOO If the appeal goes against them.
That the appeal Itself was made too late
la the contention of the lawyers for the
tielra and thla question la being argued
now.
If the right to appeal is sustained the
Question of tha validity of the bequeat must
then be aettled and with that disposed of
In a way favorable to the proposed work
in girl's home there la a still further
question aa to the amount which shall go
to tha home and to the heirs.
Deeply Involved Qaeatlon.
Thla last question la a', deeply involved
one. Count Crclghtpn. It will be remem
bered, bequeathed $1,150,000 in epeclflo
amounta to Crelghton university, the pro
posed working glrla' home and to various
other beneficiaries Including relatives. He
then declared tliHt the residue and remain
der of tha estate should be divided so that
each beneficiary already named should get
a share of this residue In such a propor
tion aa the spcoific bequeat bore to the
whole estate.
Over this there were several divergen
cies of opinion. The working glrl'a home
bequest waa $30,090, which is a Utile over
1 per cent of the whole $4,000,000 estate. The
residue after the $1,160,000 of specific be
quests cornea to I3.S50.0OD and 1 per cent of
this would be $3,000. It la claimed by the
other aide that the proportion should be
Estimated aa the specific bequeat to the
home Is to tha total of specific bequests
ind In this way It is figured that the total
which eught to go to the working girl's

Under the Management of James Wood
Just Before Election Board of Equal
ization Really Transacts Busi
ness When it Meets.
Once every month during the year the
city council has met as a board of equali
zation. Protests without number have
been entered, but all have been denied and
every plan of assessment, where street Im
provement work has been ordered, has
been sustained.
But this was In times other than a cam
paign season.
Wednesday the board met again, and
in this last session before the spring elec
tion the plan of assessment for opening
Twenty-seventh street between Fowler
and Orand avenues waa readily rejected.
Thla plan Is the only one which haa been
rejected during the year, but the demo
crats on the board wanted to garner in
the votes that can be cast by the two-score
owners who objected, and It was found to
be an easy matter to place the plan ofas
sessment on file.
Did Banker With
Black Eye Push
Governor's Pen?
New Reason Offered Why Shallen
berg-er Approved the Day
light Saloon Bill.
An explanation Is offered by a prominent
Omaha attorney as to why Oovernor Bhal-
lenberger was forced to sl(?n the daylight
saloon bill, which Is even more lucid thin
the explanation offered by the governor
himself.
According to the attorney the se.il dis
played by the temperance people was In
spired and they fought doubly hard, be
cause they saw an Omaha banker come
out of the governor'a office with a black
eye. The argument that this man had a
battered lamp was used to good effect be
fore the governor anil doubtless had much
weight.
A few days ago the vice president of
one of Omaha's largest national banks had
the misfortune to slip on the marble floor
of his banking house and striking his face
on a rail, discolored his left eye In perfect
resemblance to one which had been black
ened by the other fellow's fist.
Thla banker, with the vice president of
another national batik, was the first to
see Oovernor Shallenberger Monday morn
ing. The hour was early and few waiting
to see the execuutlve. The bankers re
mained for almost an hour In private con
ference. Men and women gathered in the
outer office, most of them being temper
ance people.
Finally, after a long wait, the bankers
stepped out of the governor's office.
The black eye of the vice president was
noticed at once. Almost In one voice half
a doten people said as the bankers passed
out, "That's the kind of men who are com
ing down from Omaha today to ask the
governor to veto the bill see that black
eye; that's what fighting whisky docs
when sold after S o'clock In the evening.
There's a couple of the men who are
typical of the class who conduct the
saloons of Omaha."
And the bankers passed out Into the sun
light not knowing that they were mlHtakcn
for bold, bad men.

Gasoline Burns
Mother and Girl
Mixed with Coal Oil in Stove Tank,
it Explodes and Causes Seri
. ous Injury.
t
Mixing coal oil with gasoline by mis
take caused Mrs. William Kemp, residing
at Twentieth and Ohio streets, and her 13
year-old daughter to be seriously burned
Thursday morning.
Some days ago Mr. Kemp filled the
gasoline tank on the stove and made a
mistake and used kerosene. He poured It
back into the kerosene can, but there was
some gasoline left in the tank, which
caused a mixture and this mixture ex
ploded Thursday morning when little Miss
Kemp used oil from the kerosene can to
start a fire in the range. There was an
explosion and Mrs. Kemp and the little
girl were badly burned. They were at
tended by Dis. Jessem and Newell and
teken to the hospital Thursday afternoon.
BRIGADIER GENERAL FOR
THE NEBRASKA GUARD
Election tailed for April 27, with
Colonel "torch tbe Only Can
didate tn Sight.
A Nebraska guard election for the pur
pose of choosing a brigadier general has
been called for April Ti. 80 far as known,
Colonel Slorch of the First is the only can
didate. This office has not existed in Ne
braska for six years, General Barry being
the last to hold it. When Adjutant Gen
eral Culver prepared a revision of the Ne
braska military code, he abolished the of
fice of brigadier general of the guard for
the reason that with only two regiments
of Infantry, a battery of artillery and a
troop of cavalry, the formation seemed
top-heavy with the adjutant general's de
partment staff and the brigadier general's
field staff. At that time the office was
appointive. Now, under Adjutant General
Hartlgan, the office of brigadier general
lias been revived and made elective, al
though the strength of the guard has been
reduced by the abolition of the artillery
and the cavalry.
Florence May
Get Mail Men
Petitions for Letter Carrier Service
and to Be Made Branch of
Omaha Postoffice.
There '.b a strong probability that Flor
ence will soon be enjoying the metropolitan
advantages of free letter, carrier delivery.
At the instance of Postmaster Thomas
of Omaha the Florence people have peti
tioned the Postoffice department asking
that Florence be made a . branch station
of Omaha, which will give it the same
privileges that the Omaha office now en
joys regarding free carrier delivery and
office hours.
Florence has a population of 1.500 and
enjoys the same metropolitan advantages
of electric cars, . street lights and water
system that Omaha does and only lacks
a free letter delivery service to give it
the same advantages that are accorded to
Omaha and Its suburb of Dundee.
It Is Intimated that the people of Benson
are also making a move toward free car
rier delivery aa a branJ ,f the Omaha
postoffice. . ''

cessfully hung the Jury which had before
It the cases of George and Bud Wetherford,

Vrowman Is deaf and Ills fellow Jurors
say he did not hear much of the evidence.
He managed to answer questions success
