Bombarded with Caspadors and Far- ¢ nitare—~An Angry Looking Gun on the Scene—Justice ‘Wright's Court, Justice Wright's court was the scene yosterday aftsrnoon of a somewhat sen- sational trlal, the parties interested being residents of the flourlshing and active young village of South Omahs. The facts revealed implicated four men, three of them conatables, and two women, cne of whom has long ago rounded the al- lotted three score years and ten. The princlpals, however, were August Nelson va, Josie Powel and Nick Powers. It seoms that the Jatter were in possession of property belonging to the late W. E. Jones, on which Nelson, as an ofticer of the lafr, held attachments and expeoted to s@1 before long for the purposs of satlefying debts contrbéted and left un- paid gy Jones, He sent Constable Man- ning t%got the property, but Josie Powel and Nick Powers refued to let Mr. Manning eee or touch a single ar- tlele. When he commenced to take the bull by the horns they broke loose on him with a terrible tirade of abuse and threatened to do him bodlily Injury unless ho loft the premises immediately, Tt seems that Nelson had accompanied Men- ning to the place and was a spectator of the picnic until matters had became so warm that Manning either had to secure aseistance or retlre, Then Nelson sailed in and the battle was on once more, An ant!quated old grandmother also jolned the gang. She bombarded Nelson's head with a cuspadore and Miss Powclmade an extraordinary effort to scratch his eyes out. Nelson finally se- cured the two women and was about to eject them from the house when Powers also mounted his frame. But being well built and endowed with plenty of sirength he encircled the entire trlo and pitched them all out doors into one heap. By this tige Mies Powel had been relleved of nearly all her clothing. The fight, however, ended there. Nelson went to Justice Wright's court and swore out a warrant for the arrest of Powel and Pow- ers, It was placed in the handsof Con- stable Edgerton, who arrested and brought them up yesterday. The charge placed aqeinst them was that of resisting an officer. gave ba'l to appesr for trlal next Thursday morning. There was also a rumor current in connection with this affair that Nelson had been ar- rested and lodged In jail, but that was a false romor- Miss Nelson, it seems, was seen to have a desperate looking revolver in her possession which she tried to use on Uonstable Manning, but was pre- vented from dolng so. e e LT ot i THE DAILY BEE-- THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1885, So far as the loss of the §10 is crrncom\‘d.l THE HAGEN MYSTERY. thie, he says, is all & myth, In the presence of Marshal Cammings Toesdsy afternoon Golston told a far different atory,which is bricfly reproduced for what Itls worth. He says that with throe other young men he had gone to a drinklng resort on South Thir- teonth street, and had been drinking there about an hour, when the proposal was made that the quartette step up to the bar and have a seltzer all around, Gols: ton, as he claims, made the remark, ‘‘We musn’t drink beer unless we have our girls with u He says that one of tha by-standers walked up to him and sald then, *Don’t you make any jnslting in- rinvalions,” Soon afterwards, he claime, he was followed out by tho young man who beat him severely with a cane which he had dropped. It cortainly seems that the motive for the attack was ridicalously Insufficient. But as both sides tell dlametrlcally op- poeito stories, the exact truth will prob- ably never be known. e — Seal of North Oarolina Tobacco /s the besl, PERSONAL, J. A.

Mr. Frederick Book, of Now York city and Miss Jessaline Rodgers, of Cincionati, were GRADING DAMAGES. An Interesting Opinion From City Attorney Connell, Some tlme ago the supremo court of the state rendered a decision in the case of Harmon vs. the clty of Omaha, taken up on appeal. The gist of the de- clslon was that property holders could gain damages from the city In cases where property had been injared by grading when improvements had been put upon it before the grade was established. With reference to this decision and the influence it ought to have upon the policy of the clty, Mr. Connell has filed the following declsion: To the Honorable the City Council of the city of Omaha: In response to your resolution, concerning the establishment of grades, I would respect- fully submit, as my opinion, that the recent decision of the supreme court, in the case of Harmon vs. Omahs, need not_prevent the establishment of grades, nor will such action on the part of the mayor and council render the city liable for damoges, The decision in the cise referred to, merely goes to the extent of establishing the liability of the city for damages for the actual grading of a strest, when such grading will result in damsges. The rule of damages not beig 1n- volved in the Harmon case, was not dlscussed by the court, but I #m satisfied that the true rule is the depreciation if any, of the market value of the property by reason of the grad- ing, and is not the cost of cutting, filling up, or changing the property so as to conform to the strect as graded. In cases where the improvements are made subsequent to the establishment of a grade, T doubt very much, if damages to euch im- provements by reason of the grading of & street, can be recovered, To such a case, it would seem tp me, that a party making improvements without refer. ence to the then established grade would be guilty of negligence, and would bo estopped from recovering damages on account of such improvements, Such being my views of thelaw, I would recommend and adyise thatas rapidly as roaconable proper grades can be determined upon, that the eame be fixed and_established by ordinance, so that all property owners in making future improvements will have no reason for placing them £o that the grading of the street will occasion damage.
