Dairyman Sues City for Damages
Martlnus -Svendsen, a dairyman, haa sued
the city for $10,000 damages, alleging that
the construction of a drain and sewer
which empties upon hi land at Grand

for him to carry on his business. He
leased a twenty-acre traet from George E.
Barker and used it as pasturage for his
nllch cows until the water from the drains
V Me It unsanitary. When It became unfit
for pasturage the health commissioner, he
alleges, confiscated hla milk and forbade
him to keep his cows on that land. Since

Mexican Band at
Corn Exposition
Famous Organization Will Come to
Omaha by Generosity of
President Diaz .
All set.
The National Band of Mexico, that or
ganisation that whines out Its weird and
fantastic airs for President Dlas, will make
music at the National Corn exposition in
Omaha this winter.
"That Is settled," said Assistant General
Manager Paisley.
Some time ago President Dla wrote to
O. W. Wattles, president of the exposition,
saying he hoped the duties of his office
would enable him to grant the request of
the exposition for the presence of the
band and yesterday Mr. Wattles received
a telegram from Ambassador Thompson at
Mexico, asking about the expenses of the
band, so that as the expenses will be
taken care of, the matter Is regarded as
settled.
This band Is some band down In Mexico
and when anybody but the chief executive
of that tropical little republic can get It
to play he la conaldered a little bit above
the average, which, of course, Is the Na
tional Corn exposition. It la one of the
most distinguished bands in the world, its
presence at the exposition will be on of
the greatest drawing cards.
The active part Mexico has already
played In the corn exposition give It a
very high seat In the affair of thl Insti
tution and the coming of the band will
tend to elevate that position.

Indictments returned In Chicago have
brought to light a story of alleged high
finance Involving two former South Omaha
business men, Ell H. Doud, at one tune In
the furniture business with George H.
Brewer and formerly city attorney of
South Omaha, and his brother, James M.
Doud, who was a live stock commission
man In South Omaha until his removal to
Chicago, where he Is engaged In the same
business. Newly elected officers of the
Acorn Brass company secured the Indict
ment of the two brothers on a charge of
wrongfully securing $20,000 of the company's
money and carrying away the accounts of
the concern.
Both men through their attorney made
an emphatic denial of their guilt The
offlcera of the company have also begun
suit In civil court against tha two men for
M.OOO. They both appeared In criminal
court and gave a $30,000 bond for their ap
pearance.
Mr. Brewer when told of tha trouble his
former partner was In expressed great sur
prise.
I can hardly believe It of Ell Doud.
he said. "He always treated me rainy ana
I can't believe he would do anything dishonest."
Mr. Doud was In Omaba less than two
weeks nao on business. He has many
friends in South Omaha and Omaha.
Following a dispute over the retirement
e hnniii owned bv the Douds, Ell
Doud was retired from his office as presl
dent of the brass company by the stock
hnin iii a stormy meeting. The same
nlKht. it la alleged. Ell Doud succeeded In
entertaining the night watchman at me
plant while his clerks packed the records
of the company and loaded them Into an
automobile. Since that time the books have
not been found In spite of a diligent
search. '
A Chicago paper give this story of the
affair:
fhargei Brathera Seised Records
Tk. crunri turv returns were
after Edward Wray. now president of the
Acorn company, went before the lnqulsl
torlsl body and told a story to the ef
fect that the Doud brother, after plying
employes of the plant with liquor Tues
day night of last week and Intimidating
a night watchman by detectives, spirited
all the record and papers of the company
away in an automobile.
"Unavailing efforts of detective to lo
cate the property of the company or find
Fll Doud, who 1 alleged to have disap
peared from Chicago when they did, also
were spoken of. Mr. Doud, It also was
asserted by the president, had csshed two
checks payable to himself, one for $1,00
for dividends on stock and another for
$1,700. The check for $1,600, Wray said,
was vrongfully drawn. He said he knew
nothing of the econd amount for the
book of the company which would give
the condition of Doud' account with the
concern are missing.
"Mr. Wray explained In fiat all how af
ter a stormy meeting of the stockholders
and the unseating of President Doud the
valuable papers of the company wore
packed In sample cases, thrown hurriedly
into a waiting automobile, and carried, It
Is believed, out of the city. Mr. Wray
ascribes the alleged actions of the Douds
to a desire to get control of the company
through bonds which they held and re
fused to allow to be retired under the
terms of the contract.
Beats Pursuers to Coart.
"Although private detectives have fol
lowed Ell Doud through Indiana and Mich
igan for the last week, he has successfully
evaded them and got to the criminal court
building In answer to the charge against
him before officers of the company had
learned he was back In Chicago.
"Oniv the forgetfulness of Doud In leav
ing copies of the lnvolceVof customers,
according to President Wray's story, has
enabled the concern to go ahead filling
orders and carrying on business without
a halt. Officer of the company said
during the day that the business had not
been affected in any way and the credit
of the corporation is In no way Injured
"Letter are being sent out to creditors
today asking them to send duplicate state
ments of their accounts which were taken
away. It I tald, with the other records, In

Emmet Devoy and his company opened a
two-night stay at the Boyd last night to
an audience that had undoubtedly come to
be entertained. Moreover, If applause and
laughter Is to aid In forming an opinion,
the audience was entertained. "In Dream
land" finds its origin In several other com
edies. It borrows Its central theme from
A Message from Mars," reducing the hlgn
comedy of that piece to low comedy, for
the better uses of the star. It goes back
to a number of well known extravaganzas
for Its "tricks" and "effects,", and alto
gether provides an evening of amusement
of a worthy sort, with something of a Its
son effectively taught.
Mr. Devoy acts the role of a young busi
ness man oompletely satisfied with Vi'nself,
and convinced that all othr f'iu t. t
He neglects everybody lor his own com-
fort, and proves himself to be thoroughly
dislikeable. A dabbler In the occult, he be
comes obsessed with spiritualistic notions
imparted by an adventuress, and on the
eve of deserting his wife for the woman
who Is luring him to his undoing he falls
asleep and dreams. In bis fancy he is led
by a spirit from Venus to the nether world
where he sees a number of strange sights
and gels an Inkling at least of the truth.
He also learns what others think of htm,
and Is cured of his selfish ways and sent
home to lead a better life. The pan gives
him plenty of room for his capacity as
comedian and he makes it quite funny at
times, and at others ridiculous.
The company supporting Mr. Devoy I
entirely capable, and the whole comedy is
very effectively rendered. While none of
the lighting effects or "tricks" are start
llngly new, they are all well worked and
add greatly to the telling of the story.
"The Blae Mouse" at the B a mood
A farce-comedy In three acts from the
the gay old chap on whom Rolett passes

himself to the division superintendency of

strength and coherence Is worked out dur
ing the evening. The audience last night
was much larger than transportation con

have to walk the devotees of the theater
will have their art. And the work of the
actors was thoroughly endorsed by the
spectators, who also warmly approved the
end that finally overtook Hoch In his wickedness.
