KBHJtASKA CITY, Nov. .-Stedal.
C. E. Dwyer, special referee, who beard all
of ths evidence In the case of Councilman
J. D. Houston against the mayo and city
council, la the matter of granting a new
franchise to tha Nebraska City Water and
Light company, brought In bis findings. He
reported that the proposition was a dual
on and should have been taken up sep
arately, that Is the franchise should have
been separata and that the city council sub
mitted the question on a resolution Instead
ot an ordinance, as required by law, and
that the water and light company had been
guilty of furnishing Intoxicating liquors to
Influence the voters In their behalf at the
election. ' 'As yet Judge Travis haa not
rendered a decision on the finding of the
referee,' but will give both attorneys a
chance to be heard on the report before
be makes his finding.
The water and light franchise expired
several year ago and the company have
been trying to get an all of this time and
finally got the council to pass the reso
lution and submit the proposition to the
voter and It carried by two to one.
Councilman Houston opposed the water
and light company all of the way through
and when the voters endorsed the matter
brought tha suit with the above result. This
v leaves the water and light company with
out -a franchise, if the Judge affirms the
finding of the referee and yet since the
voters have expressed their feelings in the
matter the city has gone ahead and entered
into a contract with the company for both
water and light for a number of yearn.

OSBORNE CASE BEFORE JURY
Testimony Introduced at Krrsiont to
Show lloctor M as I. net Seen
with lllm.
FREMONT, Neh., Nov. Z3. (Special.)
Some, strong circumstantial evidence was
Introduced In the district court yesterday
afternoon In the rase of the state against
Georse W. Osborne, who Is charged with
the murder of John Hootor, a peddler. In
tills city last August. Two witnesses were
Introduced who Identified Osborne as a
man whom they saw with Hoctor In front
of the Brunswick restaurant between seven
and eltrht o'clock the night of the murder.
One of them talked several minutes with
Osborne. The defendant told him that he
was waiting for Hoctor, that he had "hit
the pike" with him before, and had known
"the old goexex" for some time. When
Hoctor came up the two had a few minutes'
conversation, after which Hoctor went Into
a saloon and brought out a half pine of
whiskey, which he gave to Osborne. The
latter put It Into his pocket and the two
men started south across the tracks. This
was the last time Hoctor was ever seen
alive.
This morning Sheriff Bauman was on
the stand. He testified to having had a
number of conversations with the defend
ant at which County Attorney Cook and
Deputy Condlt were also present, and that
Osborne finally on the Thursday following
the murder wrote out a confession. He was
cross-examined at great length by John
Graham for the defense on the circum
stances attending the confesalon. The de
fendant objected on the ground that the
purported oonfefslon was obtained by
coercion.
