I ronted the Pmney farm just beforo Christmas. I nover lived on tho Ploney farm, My wife and two sons went to tho farm about four weeks ago, where they re- mained untl two weeks ago last Thursday. Mr. aud Mrs. Jones then took charge of the farm. Two weeks ago today I was at the farm and saw the vid folks there.

The old gentleman wenerally carried a red bauduna handkerchicf. He had two_coals. The coat found on the boay of the old man was produced and tho witness asked 1f he recoguized it. He said: I believe that is the old man’s coat. The coat that Neal left at Davis' barn ia South Omaha was then pro- duced. and the witness identified it as the pronerty of Mr. Jones. “The lst time 1 was in South Omaba, he continued, was four weeks ago. 1 never knew anybody at Council Bluffs by the nawo of either Rohrs or Neal, I don't beliovo the old man hud trouble with anybody. The ro- Iations botween hir and me wero umicable.” Mr. Mott was recalled and the overcoat loft at Davis' barn handed to him. He said: looks like it." H. Kobert of South Omaha testified: ‘T am A jeweler; a man named K4 Neal called at my store ubout 8:30 p.m., February 6; 1 sold him a plain wold ring weighing 8ix ponny- weights and a quarter; hoe traded his ring in (here witness handed a well-worn broad ring with a four leaf design, marked 10 kacats) ho was about b feet § inches in height: haa & durk complexion and light mustache; he had e mufller, stiff hat and double-breasted coat; he gave the namoe of C.

I'bie official bond of City Treasurer Rush was upproyed. Messrs. Clarke and Saville of the finance committes reported on the question of insur- ing the school buildings. The report stated that in the opinion of the committee it wus not aesirable to continue 1o pay the large premiams charged by the insurance companies on the detached buildings with janitors in charee, and in all instances woll protected by fire hydrants, and easily no- cessible by tho fire department over paved streets with but few exceptions. That in no instance could the same be burned by other buildings being on fire. The committos sugeested that in case of a loss the board could replace the samo readily by issuing bonds at a low rate of interest. It was also recommonded that the secretary koep an no- count of the insurance carried on the different buildings for the information of the mem- bers, and they bolievea that the accumula- tion of such money would be largely in exs cess of any 10ss that mizht be sustained. Mr. Clarke supported the report by suying that the boara had been payiog ouv large sums of money every year on bulldings which were really in 2o danger at all from fire. This money would be turned into a fund which would s0ou be liree'onough to pay any loss which the board might sustalu.
