LINCOLN NEWS AND GOSSIP, A Remarkablo Document Filed by Secretary of State Laws OONCERNING RAILROAD CASES, One of the Hotels the Scene of a Bioody Row-Supreme Court Records—Capital Oity otes. 1020 P Stieer, LixcoLy, Sept. 15. Tt is again evident that the wounded bird flutters. Secretary Laws files the following remarkable paper upon the protest of Attor- noy General Leese against the majority ac- tion of the state board of transportation on the veduction order. The reader will do well to remember three facts in considering its contents: First—The Union Pacific case was dis- missed at the request of the attorney general 0 prevent its being hung in the supreme court of the United States for two or three ears, and thus delay the reduction of rates n that road. As the matter now stands ac- tion in the state courts can be had on the question in two or three months. Second—Action i8 pending in the upreme court now to compel the fihtonri Baoifio and all other. roadato incorporate under the laws of the state, and will bo heard at the next se of thiut court, which commer w‘, information in quo warrauto having n iiled by the attorney general. Third—The case now pending, and which has been on record before the supremo for more than a year, referred to by the sec. retary of state, is that of the State ex rel Board of Transportation vs The Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Pacific railroad com: pany, Whilo this is a test case the reason hat the attorney general has not pushied it to trial 15 because ussurance has been given that the board would reduce rates on all 5. Neither the attorney general and no other fair minded citizen wishes to have one railroad company operating under lower rates than the other roads. This would olearly be an act of injustice. To the Board of Trausportation.—Gertle- men: After adjournment of its meeting, one memper of this board has adopted the un- usual procedure of filing “stump ~ specches,” which b Is “protests” against the action of its lm\’urlt\'. wherein ho impugns the motives of its members, and makes stato ments not warranted by the facts. I there- fore ask leavo to file and have recorded with this momber’s last *‘protest,” this: The cost of all the railroads of this state, excluding stocks, watered or otherwise, as Turnishod this board by the railroads, for 1887, aggrepates $106,109,074.51. . Furnished by the same authority, and for the same period, the aggregate earnings are shown Lo be $17,212,805,44, and the aggregate exponses are shown to bo $9,756,212.43. and the akgrogate ot earnings §7.470,063.0 which tho Iatter item is 4 1-3 per cent on the ital invested. “sel'unll_\' if this sworn statement of the of the railrouds, as published by this ard, is true, the income to the stockhoid- ers is not unreasenably high. If this sworn statewent is not true, then this board ought o adopt some method to find out the actual worth of all the railroads in the state, and [ know of no method better than the one pro- posed in the resolution referred to, If the protesting member of the board be- wes thiese sworn statements of cost to be true, he cannot consistently, under his pro- test, urge a reduction of rates, and he ought not in any case to lead the people to believe that be thinks these statements true, and then wct on the board as though he did not think them true, In a late letter to Erick Johuson, this mem: ber stated for the information of the people that the net earniugs of the B, & M, railroad were, according to the auditor's repo $12,000 per mile for the year 1537, H waris corrected this statement, said wrote hastily, and that he referrea only to the main line of the B. & M. railroud. A wofercuce Lo the auditor's report o the LaxcoLx BUureau o¥ THe OMAnA Bee, } returns made to this board faiis to verify either stutement. The Union Pacific railway enjoined this board from fixing rates over that road. An able briof was preparod by C. O. Whedon and all legal technicalities settled, and a de- cision on that vexed question might have been had before now had not this protestor, as he claimed, by threatening htigation on other matters against this road, induced its general attorney to withdraw the suit. Yet this member complains of the action of majority of this board on . because he was not permit- 1f the Union Pacific railway company was then and is uow holding from two to three million dollars worth of property contrary to “our constitution ana laws," it would appear that no consideration so trifling as the with- drawal of & suit which ought to have bcen tried, would induce an ofticial to permit this great corporation to enjoy uninterruptedly its illegal acquisitions. But he has also re- fused to bring action against the i Pacific to incorporate under tho laws of this state, till, a8 I suppose, it “'wot ready.” The action of a railroad cficial in the late state conven- account for this apathy, and the ations have been mutually help ful, but in 0o case pecuniary. No word of fault ought to found s to tho manner in which this member has discharged the duties of the oftice to which he was elected, and I offer none. He has been zealous and faithful, His fricnds may regret that after cars of usefuluess to the poople he has led upon to publish in the newspapers » state, and toll it on the streets of Lin- coln, that 1f this raf s urged it is very ov dent that the highest tribunal in the state will be called upon t s what is o rea- sonable rate, ¢ under consid eration it of doubt at least t may not sustain some of the hnicalities urged by the railronds snd dismiss thoe case. But there is a case now pending bofore that court, and has been 8o pending for more than a 'vear, in which all techuicalities have been passed upon by the court; a case over which this hoard has no control, und oue wholly under the control of the aitorney general. A de cision in this long delayed case would settle the entire question as to tho reasonabloness of rates in this state, except as to the Union Pacific railway, and congress will soon pass a law declaring the rate que: subject to state control. be tion on this road i ble from an exhaustive effort in that direo- tion.

Shoot- ing irons were drawn, kuives fiourished and other weapons were usced with bloody re- sults. The thugs were the aggressive parties and commenced the row by assaulting C. W, Rue, who was badly usad np, an not some of his friends come o his rescue ho would probably have been killed. A riot was imminont for 8010 time, But the police force got wind of the racket and were soon at the and a running flght took place from . Charles to the Hurlington depot, whero the police force succecded In arresting F. MoCarty, I. J.

County Attorney Simeral yesterday sub- mitted to the county commissioners his opinion on the following question : 18 not the city directly responsible to the sheriff for the board of city prisoners, and may he not present his bill for such board directly to the city, instead of looking first to the county 1" Mr. Simeral says: “There is no provision of law making it obligatory upon the county to keep the city prisoners. They should be troated, therefore, the same as United States prisoners, or prisoners from other counties, and the sheriff must look to the city for his pay for their custody and keeping.” Mr. Simeral was also of the opin- fon that fee of oceuts chi by sherift for committing o y brisoner to the county Juil shoul cted by him of the city, and the county should have nothing to do with it ‘The county attorney submitted an opinion ou the resolution directing the ocounty clerk to udvertise for provosals fer 100 or more acres of land for a poor furm.

Its Wonderful Resources — C Unsurpass:d—Conl, Oil, Iron, Water and Gypsum in Un. limited Quantities. ate Unusual reports having reached this oflice as to the advantages of the above named city in the Black Hiils, and as this paper has always been in advance of othors in its position on_the develop- ment of that country, a BEE reporter was detailed to interview such citiz as could be found and could vouch for the statements made by the company who are interested in Bessemor., Mr. Sam’l E. Rogors, vice-president of the Merchant’s national bank seen in the bank parlors and made the following statemon Thereare four distinet oil basins in central Wyomin emer being the eastern boundry and the Popo Agic the storn. The basin of the Popo Agie i known as the Shoshone oil basin. have three oitwells here with a ity of 60O bbls. per day. ext east 4 miles is the Beaver basin, In the local- ity just named we have engine and all other machiner dy to c#enmee les to the east of Beaver is and fourth is Seminole basin, in which basin Besse- mer is located. There are millions of tons of per cent pure hetween Independence Rock and Bessemer. This deposit has, I believe, never been given the prom- inence in the reports that it deserves, is We capa- soda 80 and will, when developed. prove one of | the many great industries of Wyoming. As to the coal deposits, I can say that they lay all along the great oil belt just ibed and it is also found in large ities to the north Six miles north of the Shoshone basin mines have been opened and the coal is usod exclusively as a fuel by the ranchers and settlements. This coal is of the finest quality and is much super- ior to the ordinary soft coal. At another point which I shall not name a mine was opened by the advice of Geologist Aughey, and the remark- able discovery was made of three stratas of the finest coal, showing a total thick- ness of forty-three feet. Irvigati ill produce results in that country. [ have bought oats up there that will run forty-two pounds to the bushel. With the Platte viver running through that country as a water supply and the great table lands and valley, 1 predict that the agricultural sources of Wyoming will take rank wich many of the others. Irrigation alone is needed to make the appurently barren country prove as prolific as our own state and it is very likely to excel it. As to the city of Bessemer and its prospects, I must say they are indeed promising. With railways centering there, with oil as I believe under the town site, with an ample water supply from vk Platte river, and mineral and remarkabloe agricultural advantages around it that are unequalled, Bessemer, with fair management by its pl‘o?m'tnru ought to make a eity of considerable promi- nence. ao. C. Clark, of the firm of Strang & Clark, steam heating company, lower Farnam st., says: There isn't any doubt in my mind that Wyoming in the vicinity of Bessemer has all the advan- tages claimed, and it only lacks railway communication which it will som have, 10 show to all the remarkable and va- ried resources of the country. Besse- mer hus the unusual advantage of hav- ing un amply water supply that will prove a “powerful inducement to manufacturers ns a favorable point for location of blast furnaces, pipo lines, ete.. ete. Mr. Dan Burr who v office in the Paxton blo well upon which we are working is within three miles of Bessener. We aro now down about 1,200 feet; from the extremely favorable reports I have we will strike oil at 1,500. There is plenty of coal on the west side of Oil Mountain, building, stone, timber and gypsum in that locality to furnish material to build wsecond New York. I predict that in five years or less that that will be the busiest and wealthiest section of the country in the United States. 0il will no doubt be the future fuel of the Hills, and owing to its cheapness mines that are vaiuel ess to-duy will be worked with a profit. Mr. . W. Melcher, room No. 6, F vosition building, said: 1 ha through the oil ficlds of Penns and last season through W i much cannot be said in fav f oming. Our party made their head- quarters at Bessem ind it is indeed a beautiful spot for a city. With a chimate that is unsurpassed, with coal, oil, iron, water and gypsum in unlim- ited quantities, and the greaf cattle ranges and agricultural lands lying west aud northwest, I can be quoted as saying that I consider investment up the as the best il [ cannot say too much in favor of W oming, Its remarkable resources are indeed wonderful, r. Stephen J. Broderick, 1415 South , was found at his store made the following statement: “Was up in that country two months, It is my firm opin- ion that Bessemer is to be the city. I s found in his ysaid: “The { have made investments in that country and am going to hang on to all I have andall T can get. Plenty of building stone. Lots of oil, gypsum, ete., ete. Certainly presents extraordinary in- ducements to investors. Am going up th ugain soon and will probubly make n more extonded stay.” Mr. P. Ullrich was seen at his dence and made the following state- ment: “I have been up in that country, and the story of its wonderful advantages as a place for investment has not been half told: I go to Decatur, Ill., and will re- turn west to Bessemer, Have invested in property thero and will put up sev- eral brick buildings as soon as brick is burned. I can say that I have a firm faith in the future of Bessemer, It has the advantage of an unlimited supply of water, two great hills of gypsum, oil of the finest quality, and will be at the junstion of two, nd porhape more iines of railway. Yes, siv, Bessemer is all right, and my Illinois, a8 woll as Ne- braska friends, will be urged by me to get hold of Bessemer property as soon us they can.” Alfred A: Selden, genl. supt. of the Omaha and Wyoming Coal Co., who was found in his otfice in the Ramge building, said: Bessemer, Wyoming, is certainly the point for a great city, the future city of all that great country. I can pledge both myself and my compuny’s support in favor of Bessom It" has every known advantage, including coal, iron, oil, gypsum, building stone, lumber and an ample supply of water, My company has two veins of conl seven foot in thic ness up there, and will commence to mine the same very soon. I canddly believe that Bessemer has great ad- vantages over any other point, either now or hereafter, as the metropolis and manufacturing center of Wyoming. Gen, W. W, Lowe was found in. his office, m st., and in answer to the reporter’s questions, said: Bessomer is in a fine locality for a ui(fi “There is plenty of oil in that country to supply the world. This, together with tin, mica, plumbago, iron, soda, coal and many other minerals which have a permanent commercial value will make the scttlement of Wyoming & matter of a few years and it will be one of the richest countries in the union, if not in the world. I have large inter- ests up there; do not want to sell any, and have simply been compelled to lie still until the “railways provide trans- portation. State Treasurer Willard was seen and said: I made s trip over that country r ago last June. Oil will be the g industry of that country and next will be the iron. _ During fifteen yoars residence in the iron regions of Pennsylvania [ am com- pelled to yield that thee iron deposits of Wyoming in the vicinity of Bessemer excell those of any other pointin both quality and quantity. The iron ore near Bessemer has this advantage that in its nity 5 all the materials for the successful manufacture of Bessemer steel. You will understand the partic- ular advantage this is to manufacturers when Isay that in all other iron locali~ ties some of the material has to be im- ported. This will prove an unanswera- ble avgument in favor of Bessemer as the point for the location of iron com- panics. One of the agents of the company was seen ut their office, 625 Paxton building, and made the following statemen Yes, we are introducing Bessemer property to Omaha people.. The com- pany do not run excursion trains, hire brass bands or sell their property at auction, Our plan is to appoint re= sponsible local agents in the principal cities tor the sale of lots. ‘Then we have other agents traveling through the cast setting forth the ad- vantages of Bessemer as & point fuvoru- ble for manufacturers to locate.
