ALBIN STOLLE, Well Kown Among Business Men, Swindles Several Promigent Firms and Skips Ont. Caught In California and to Brovght Back to Nebraska. be About the mlddle of latt March the in- dlvidoal whess name appears at the head of this article came from North Platte to Omaha, where he had borno a good name for honesty and capabllity In business affairs, He repreeented to acquaintances hete that he had so proepered in his home fatther towards the sunset that he was about to open a banking house at Gutten- burg, in Dawson county, Nebraska. He represented his property and pos- sesalons 8o finely to the business people of Omaha that one of them, Mads Toft, Esq., a well known merchant in the gen- oral notions businers, and formerly of the People’s bank, trusted to his representa- tions and eold him 773.5: worth of bank fixtarss, such a3 desks, eafes, counters, ete. Stolle represented among other things that he owned §10,000 which he had in the Ncrth Platte bank, and besldes this he bore a letter of porsonal recommenda- tion from the Omsha Natlonal bank, which he pretented to Mr. Taft. Upon this showing Mr. Taft gladly sold his then useless furnitare to him. Stolle shipped the furalture to North Piatte and thero sold it for cash to another party who had a real bank, pat- ting the money in his pocket. Some time after ho left this country and his creditors began to ‘‘smell” not only & mouse but a rodent with a remarkably long eaudal appendage. Investigation followed at once and re- sulted In awakening suspiclons at North Platte as well as in Omaha. Stolle had been cashier of the North Platts bank,and Omsha experts are now at work on the books of that bank to mee what that slick rascsl did for that institution It is at this writing known that he, having charge of the books, *‘doctored” the entries and accounts there g0 as to swindle it out of some $10,000. He s & shrowd fellow and until the experts re- port there 18 no talling how he *‘tixed”’ the books of the North Platte bank. Bat A. Stollereckoned without his host when he went to Callfornia with the hepe to oscapo detection. Like many other men he put bis trust in a woman to keep a secret, little dreaming that an Mr, Toft sent his attorney, W. H. Martin of Omaba, to North Platte, where Stolle’s wifo was llving, who proceeded to ingra- tia‘c himself Into her favor and confi- dence to such an extent vhat ehe showed him a telegram from Stolle dated San Jose, California, which told her to be of 50d cheer, that ho would scon_send for her to join him in that land of grapes, ploeapples, figs and flowers, and hand in hand they would pass their remeining years in paaco and plenty, enjoying tne 261 gs0d things of this life—on somebody else’s money! Armed with this informatlon, Mr, Martin communicated with Sheriff Mil- lex of this couaty, who took proper stops to secare thls plnk of propriety to answer Justice Andereon {ssued hls warrant yesterday, and learning of Stolle's whereabouts and arrest by a California officer, in obedience to information from Nebrasks, took steps to eccure the proper requisition for’ him, Stolle wlll so0n bo hera to exchange his dellcacies of diet, on which he has been foasting in the Golden State, for plain home fare with Shoriff Miller in this land of cornbread, hogs and Missourl river water. Hero endeth the first lesson, CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT. An Interestiog and Comprehensive Account—An Abstract, City Attorney W. J. Counell, has sub- mitted hisreport to thy mayor and coun- cil, Itfiseo full of points of valuabls and interesting information, that an ab- stract is heremth appended, To The Hororable, the Mayor and City Council of the City of Omaha: GENTLMMEN: 1 hgve the honor here- with to submit for your examtnation, snd algo for the luformation of the fax-paying cltizens of Owmaha, & report cf all cases agalnst tho city, which were pending at the time I entered upon tho dutics of city attorney, or which have been slncs commenced, and coverlog a perled of about two years' time. This, 1 belisve, s the firet formal or printed roport over propared and submitted to the mayor and council, showing in detail the number, nature and disposal of all cases agulnst the city. With the growth of the clty, and ad- vance in {mprovements, the legal bu nees of the city has Increased, until it bas now as:umed such proportions as to make It proper, if not, sbsolutely neces- sary, that such a repor should cecasion- ally be made. Only by kesplng fully advised of the work In each department, can the mayor and council properly direct the affairs of the city, and keep within the provisions of the charter. So far as the legal department of the city is concerned, 1 not only cheerfally farnfsh all information possible in con- nection therewith, but take espaclal pride in the fact that during the past two yearsnot a case hes been lost, nor a Jjudgment rendered adverse to the inter- esta of the clty. But for an excess of work, in the line of public fxprove- ments, which necessitated the entry of judgments for undisputed balances due contragtors or partles demaged by change of grades, I would now bs able to make an .lmou: palleu:l' clean balance sheet. * * SUMMARY OF 0Asks [DISPOSED OF BY JUDG- MENTS IN FAVOR OF THE CITY, DISMISSALS, ¥10, Number of cases so disposed cf, 49, Damage for negligent grading, pay- ing, ete. ...

The amounts thus in- volved, not appearing of record, cannot be definitels stated, but as claimed by the platntlfis woold prohably sggrega‘e $50,000 CO, which, added to the specific amounts as above eet forth, would make the grand total of claims now panding agalnat the city about $150,000.00. ESTIMATE OF CITY'S LI\BILITY. A reasonable estimate of the juet Jia- bility of the city, ia all cases now pend- ing, would not probably excaed the sum of $20,000. What amount of judgments will be rendered can only be determined a8 tho cases are reached for trlal. Asa rale, courts and juries are disposed to deal fairly with the clty, and to repudi- ate, when the evidence 80 requires, the many groundless actions which 20 fre- quently have been sommercad withous reference to either law or justice. BEWER TAX CASES, As will ba observed from the list of cates pending, there cre fifty-one cases of tto entlre number commencad, to re- cover sewer taxes paid under protest, amoanting to the sam of $19,423.42, It is probable that these cases will be ad- justed sutisfactory to the city, and to the perties plalntiff, By rzason of the un- constitntionality of that provision of that charter, which required that the arses: ment of taxes to cover the cost of sawers, should be according t> valuation, in place of epecial benefite, the taxes levied were pald under protest, and - sulls commenced to recover back the amount of such payments. The law has since been amended, and speclal anthority given to ths mayor and council to make a re-assessment of such coat, which will probably bo don ia the near future. As it is claimed that the cost of certaln mains was included in the origlial astesement, when tho cost of such mains should have been borne by the city at large, which claim would ap- pear jatt and correct; it is probable that such cost will bo deducted from the amount of the future levy, and that the taxes as re-asseszed, will at once be set- tled,and the suifs now pending dismissed.
