THE i;r,E: 031 AHA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER d mil". Nebraska FIGHT ON MARRIAGE FEES Lancaster County Board Allowed $1,506 to a Former Judge. WHEDON PROTESTS AlfD APPEALS ItOTlh western Railroad Offers Stab bera Hnliuir to Award of w Ilravr Damaeres la Per. aonal lajarr Salt. From a Staff Correspondent. LINCOLN. Neb., cpt. 19. Charles O. tVhedsn of this city Is preparing to at tack the action of the county commis sioners In allowing the 11.606 claim of former County Judge C. M. Parker for performing marriage ceermonles during the time he wu In office, from ISM to 1SS7. Inclusive. The claim wu only re cently allowed by the county board, after having been In lta hands for several months. At the time of allowance there was no protest. The claim of Judge Tarker was based on the case of Vlnsonshaler vs. Douglas county. In which action the plaintiff, who was county judge, performed marriage ceremonies In that county. Vlnsonshaler claimed that a foe of 13 for each cere mony belonged to him and after fighting the case through the supreme court, a declison in his favor was given by that tribunal. The Investigation started by C O. Whedon divulged the fact that the county clerk or his assistants were un able to find records, showing that Judge Parker during his term of office had paid In more than j00 P" ye"- to the county treasurer. The assertion of Judge Parker that he paid office expenses out of his fees, and then turned the balance over to the treasurer's office, have not been uh.tantlated bv the archives at the county offices. rase May Set a Precedent. A crushed and battered hat, a torn and ragged suit of clothes, bedraggled with clay and strained hero and there with splotches of dry blood, were flourished before, the eyes of the supreme court to day as exhibits in the case of Hoffman vs. the Northwestern railroad ,an action In which the amount of recovery Is the largest ever obtained in any suit reach- lna: that tribunal for settlement. Attorney in the case are Mike Har rington of O'Neill, tor the appellee, and C C Wright of Chicago, for the ap pellant; the latter general counsel for the corporation and the former representing the widow and children of a former brakenmn killed In the company's yards at Chadron. This is one of the first cases and by far the largest lnamount of damages recovered to reach the supreme court since the passage by the legislature of a law removing the $3,000 limit for injuries resulting In death and permitting the recovery of damages even though In flicted by a fellow employe. Charges of gross perjury were bandied by both attorneys, each asserting that the other side had bolstered up a weak cause by false testimony. Harrington averred that despite the fact that the Chadron yards are of clay the railroad compelled half a dosen witnesses to swear that It was cinder covered, while Wright asserted thrt the plaintiff had evolved out of the realm of fancy two witnesses, who swore that they had wit nessed the accident. The action is one to recover damage for the death of George V. Glover, a Northwestern brakeman. In the Chadron yards on the night of November 10, 1907. ' "Crcloae" Davis Coming.
