| i - = Owmah A GREAT LAND SENSATION The Supreme Court Decides the Famous Maxwell Graot Honest, NOT THE SWINDLE CLAIMED. Fifty Millions Worth of Property In- volved—Squatters Ousted In Fa- vor of Chicago and Amsters dam Millionaires, The Maxwell Grant. Confirmed. WasmiNGToN, April 18.<[Special ‘Tele- gram to the BEE. |—Tho Maxwell grant has always been regarded as the most gigantic of all swindles on this continent, & typical fraud on the governient, tho top and crown of land robbery, and no speceh has ever been made in opposition to fraud and corruption in the west without holding its enormous proportions up. As an illustration of what wicked men can do iu the way of land steal- ing “As big a swindle as the Maxwell grant” has been a proverb, But the supreme court of the United States to-day decidad that it was not a swindle; that it was an hon- est grant; that tha persons to whom it has de- scended are entitled to the lands,and that the squatters now occupying it, to the number of several thousand, have no right there. The decision will create a great sensation. 1t will fall like a thunderbolt on the citizens of Trinidad and other townson the grant, and will surprise most people who are famil- iarwith the case. ‘T'he tract of 1,700,000 acres covered by the grant comprises a strip of country lying on both sides of the boundary line between Colorado and New Mexico, and 18 considered the best grazing land in that part of the union. It also includes many mines in the Roton mountain, as well as millions of dollars worth ot improvements rlnuw! there by squatters, who never had any dea that the grant would be connirmed. Just what will be done now is impossible to pre- dict. According to the decree of the hizhest Judicial authorities the grant belongs to the syndicate of Chicago milionaires and a lot of Amsterdam Datchmen who were roped into the scheme by the notorious Frank Sherwin. They were very much disgusted when they discovered what they had bought, but will be better satistiod now, for $50,000,000 18 a small valuation of the property Nebraska and Iowa Pe ns.

In court he avologized for his appearance and said he had left the hotel with 0, some diamonds, nuggets of South African gold, and a ruby pin. At his request one ot the court officials cut open the buckskin walstcoat he wore and in it found 8190 and some diamonds. He recollected that some Bayard street women helped them- selves to $370 of his money, but could not account for the rest, though he faintly re- membered taking part in several quarrels.

It woul'd appear that by common con- sent or previous con: of plans the tirst of May is selected as the time for the inauguration of labor troubles and the approach of that date is marked by a feeling of dissatisfaction among the labor organizations. The Omaha paper hangers and house painters have made the first open expression of their dissatis- factlon and have taken astand for higher ges that is apt to create serious trou- ble at the very ovening of their busiest season, The paper hangers, who are re- ceiving from 50 to $3.50 per day, have issued a schedule whereby they ask an increase to $5 4 day or the privilege of doing piece work, for which they de- mand the following schedule: “Brown and white blank and buff, one edage trimmed, 18 cents ver roll on side walls and 28 cents on ceilings; pressed paper, $1, walls or ceilings; work in closets and between shelves at double pri for work done and goods used -not men- tioned in this schedule, the workman shall receive %5 per day.” The schedule also provides that workman shall, if not mlowed to do picce work, receive #5 a day, or a yearly of not less than $1,000. 15 a marked advance over the price at present received by the paper hangers, and the emplovers scem little disposed to meet the demand. The paper hangers are supported intheir movement by the house painters. These men have been recciving ¥2.50 per day for ten hours’ work. They demand un increase to $2.75 per day for nine hours’ work, with a pay and” a_ half for overwork and double pay for Sunday work. On Thurs- day last the master painters formed a union in order to further strengthen the claims of th orde Th prej s is although the wen are all worl old rates. It is announced, howev they will make an emphatic demand for the inauguration of the new scledule on and after the first of next month. The dealers and contractors in wall aper met at Beard & Bro.’s establish- ment last evening to consider the cluims of the dissatislicd employes. Nearly all of the dealers in the city were repre- sented. An organization was effected and the matter very fully discussed. As there is no immediate prospect of trouble an djournment was taken until next Mon- day night, when an_answer will be made to the employs ‘The sentiment of the meeting indicated that the demands of painters will be acceded to with the ex- ception of the demand for double pay for Sunday work. This is considered exorb- itant and a compromise will be asked. The employers did not come to any un- derstanding with regard to the schedule of the paper-hangers, whose demands will be further considered ata future meeting, ‘The prospects are that the troubles will be settled without a strike. A Teamsters' Strike, At about 10 o’clock yesterday morning the thirty teamsters émployed by Con- tractor Ellis in building the power house for the Omaha cable railwa yat Twentieth and Harney streets made a demand for an increase of fifty cents per day and the demand being refused the entirc number quit work, The men have been re ing $3.00 ver day and Mr. Ellis says he cannot afford to increase it to $3.50, as he can easily fill their places with good men and teams anxious to work at the rates he now pays. The work hus been aban- doned, but the contractor says he will put a full force of new men on this morning. The striking teamsters declare their de- mands to be just and their determination to hold out for the raise, a determination 1n which they say they will e all the backing noce: 7 ter in the day the police station and invoked police protection, claiming that the strikers had made numerous threats. The city marshal detailed two policemen to guard the nl‘nl)nrl{ and allis now quiet, 1t is not likely that any serious troyble will occur SOUTH OMAHA NEWS Stock Yards Sewor—Kowler's New Beef House—Other Notes, Engineers are at work surveying a line for a sewer from the stock yards to the river, Heretofore the drainage from the yards and the packing houses has been discharged in the South Omaha creek which in its turn emnties into the Papio. The growth of the yards and the location of new packing houses has rendered a better system of drainage imperative, The scheme which is at presont “under consideration is to construct a thirty=-six inch brick sewer, from a point immedi- ately south of the nmond" packing house, and between that house and the ed wift frouse, - - -directly the river. This. twill lead through the hills south ant of the yards and will necessitate the sinking of the sewer to'a depth of 120 feet 1n some places. The cost is es- timated at between forty and sixty thou- sand dollars. The length of the “sewer will be about one mile. s THE FOWLER BEEF HOUSE, Mr. Nicholson, the well known pack- ing house architect and builder, was at the yards yestorday aiternoon making an examination of the ground where the new Fowler beef house is to be “located, The size of the new house will be 160x64 feet, with an annex 32x04 feet. It will have a capacity for handling = 250 head of cattle per day, and will be a model house of. its kind. The building of the house will be duln{ml three or four weeks on account of the scarcity of bri and the high prices asked torit. Mr. Nicholson com- plains of the poor quality of the bri made here and regardsit as much in- ferior to the Chicago brick. The plans are not yet prepared for the SWIFT HOUSE, but it is understood that Mr, Swift in- tends building the beef house on the sume plan as the Chicago house, which is about as perfect as any house could be. The hog house will be built on a differ- ent plan and will have more modern im- provements than the Chicago house. Work on the COAL SHAFT is progressing as rapidly as possible, Mr, A.'F.

The tirst one was passed on Penroso & Hardin, gun' merchants, on Thursday last. Wendover entered the store and made a few purchases, for which he had not suflicient money to pay. He then tendered a check purporting to be signed by Lyons & Healy, for whom he claimed to be working. The amount was $15. He endorsed the check in the store and it was accepted. About $10 in money was veturned to him. Subse- quently the check was returned by the Dank in which it had been deposited, as Lyons & Healy had refused to honor it. The ease was then put in the hands of the detective agency. Wihile the detectives were looking for Wendover, that individual was quite in- dustriously plying his avocation, He passed, during Friday and Saturday, bogus checks on Saxe, the druggist; Whitney,; shoe dealer; the Nebraska Clothing com’ pany; the Bankrapt shoe store, and Cofi- man, ¢ 1 instance: repeat ! at Penrose & I purchased altogether goods valued at $30 and ob- tained about $100 in money.

Mr, Hellman accepted the check and paid $105 in cash, The other, 20, also purporting to have been signed by Sehroeder & Co., was eashed by Morrison & White. It tvas presented on Saturday night, The checks were signed in a business like hand and Kennedy en- dorsed them in an entirely different’ chi- rography. These” fosgeries were not discovered until yesterday, and search was at once mude for Kennedy, but he was not found. He is believed to have left the city on Saturday night or Suday morning.” He had always been regarded as an ordi- narnly steady and reliable man, which made it easy for him to perpetrate the frauds. PURE CUS W. Patterson, alias hit: negro, attacked Jack Durney, printer, with a knife on Dodge street, near Elev- enth, at 9 o'clock last night. Durney was walking along Dodge street toward Eleventh streetand had not spoken to the negro, who met him and then turned back and followed him. The negro made two lunges at Durnoy, slitting the latter’s coat, but not intlicting more than flesh wounds, tterson refused to say any- thing, but it was claimed by the Rolicc that he did it for *'pure cussedness.

But such is not the case with Athlophoros, i les diminishing they in akes us have more faith in its fu- ture mussion, is that our cusiomers come back and praise its good work in the highest terins ( one druggist to the writer: * My confidence is so great in Athlophoros that Iften sell a bottle with the understanding that if it 1s uot sati factory L will refund the money, v never yet had to pay the money back Mrs, C.

I can refer witl; pleasure to Albright's Annex And Baker Place as sample illustrations, Lots in the “Annex" have quadrupled in value and are still advauncing, while a street car line is already building past Baker Place, adding hundreds of dollars to the value of every lot. Albright's Cnoice was selected by me with the greatest care aiter a thorough study and with the fuli knowledge of its value, and I can- conscientiously say to those seek- ing a safe and profitablo invest- ment thot Albright's Choice offers chances not excelled in this market for a sure thing. Early investors have already reap- ed large profits in CASH, and with the many important improvements contemplated, some of which are now under way, every lot in this splendid addition will prove a bo- nanza to first buyers.
