THE FAIRMOUNT PARK CASE. al Meoting of the Rowing Asso- al Ann ciation—General and Notes of Loeal Ine terest. Who Owns Fairmount Park? The announcement that a sensatianal cross bill would be filed in the Fairmount park case, published exclusively in Tue Beg, cre- ated a great deal of interest and stirred up the attorneys for the plaintift, Jason Walker, in avery unusual degree. The cross bill was filed yasterday, and, as was predicted, it is o very interesting document. It shos by what methods this law firm has sougnt to wrest from the city the most beautiful park i the west and what misrepresentations have been made in order to accomplish this end. The cross bill, among other things, alleges that on or about June 3, 1853, Edmund S. Williams purchased from the goverument and obtuined a patent for certain property now embraced within the bounds of ‘Fair- wount park. Thatapout September 3, 18 he caused said lands to be platted as Wil- ifams’ second addition and afterward sold divers lots to divers persons, and the city fully accepted the dedication of the streets and alleys in the uddition as a part of the streets and alleys of the city. That after said platting the vlaintiff on or about September 22, 1870, caused uil of the Tots in all of the blocks in said addition to be condemued for public park purposes, and that in its proceedings to 30 acquire the pos- session and utle to said property, the city acted under the authority given by its sp clal charter acd acts of the legislature approved in Jauuary, 1857, and subsequent gacts amendatory thereto. That after the uwards had been made by the commissioners appointed to condemn the property, the city, which is now the plaintiff, deposited in money the true awount of the award for each 10t with Perry Reel, then sheriff of the county, and at once took possession of the land and bas ever since held posses#®n of said tract, and does now have tho possession thereof and occupancy of smid tract of land platted and laid out nto streets, alleys, blocks and lots as aforesaid for park purposes, and has since October 15, 1879, and up to the present time expended large sums of money iu_improving and orna- menting the said grounds for park purposes, as the defendant, Jason Walker, and his grantors, had full notice. knowledga and in- formation at the time, he, smd Walker. ob- taed his pretended title to said tracts of land, as will be hereafter more fully ex- plained. "That after plaintiff had acquired the title 10 saia lands, entered into posscssion und made improvements, one Charles Haldane, & citizen of Council Bluffs and au attorney of this court, conceiving that there was a technical defect in the legal title as acquired by the city by its condemnation proceedings nd that pessibly the legal title still re- imed in the said E, Willlams and his wife, Mary Willinms, and the said Haldane intending to defraud and deceive not only the petitioner and cheat said petitioner out of said property, but aiso the said Williams and his wife, did in the month of September, 1856, call upon said Wiltiams and wife in the city of Denver and pretonded to said parties that he wes perfectly asatistied with said Jands, and that there was probably defect 1 the city's title, and he could, with the assist- of said Williams and his ‘e compel the city to pay a very consider- uble amount of money in order to cure said pretended defect in the title which the city bad in said property. He ulso vepresented thut he was not abso- lutely certain that such a defect existed, but there was suflicient irregularity to leave doubt as to whether the city bad a pertect title, and that if Williams and his wife would make a deed to him and allow him to use said deed with the city council he be- lieved he could induce the city council to pay a very considorable sum of money in order to remove any doubt as to the validity of the city’s titlo, ‘The said Haldane also fraudulently and deceitfully represented to said Williams and wife that'it_was not his purpose to_destroy the city’s title and _take said land from the city, but he desired to be placed in & position where hie could coerce the city into paying a large sum to have all_questions acttlod, aud if he succeeded in obtaining such sum he would deliver said deed to the city and con- vey to the city whatever 1aterest in the land should be acquired by him by virtue of the deed, and if he failed to procure any such sum of money he would surrender the deed to Williams and his wife anda the matter should go no further, ‘fhat Williams and his wife did not then desire or intend to deprive the city of the land and so declared to Haldane, bat were will- ng to allow Haldane to induce the city to pay a sum of money to quiet the title, if he could, and these facts were well known to him. That finally Haldane sacured the deed by tho falso representations and protences above set forth: that he well knew that it was 1ot intended to pass to bhim any title that might have remaited in smd Williams and wife, but that fraudulently de- signing and intending to chéat and defraud the city and said Williams and wife, received said dead, - tending at the time to disregard and abuse the trust confided 1n hum, and to use said deed for the purpose of securing to himse!f all title, right and interest that might still have remained 1n said Willisms and his wife, and intending to use anid deed thus fraudu: lently obtained to secure said land for hims self and depriving the city of 1ts possession and of all right and title to the same, That said Haldane, after receiving smd deed for the purpose of carrying out his fraudulent intention, caused the deed to be recorded in the oftice'of the county recorder of this county, aud soon thereafter, in order t0 carry out his contemplated fraud, con- veyed said property to Jason Walker, & brother-in-law of his law partner, Joh Baldwin of the firm of Wright, Huldwin & Haldane, and a resident of the state of Kea- tucky. ‘That said conveyance was made without any consideration wbatever, and probably without the knowledge of said Walker, not for the purpose of couveying auy interest in suid lands to said Walker, but for the pur- pose.of escaping so far as Jossible any pub- lic odium that might be attached to him for fraudulently attempting to cheat the city out of the land, and also to enable said Wright, Ba'dwio & Haldanoe to institute suit against the city in the United States circuit court. That said Walker now hold the naked title to whatever interest might bave remamed in said Williams end wife, and holds it 1o trust for said Haidane and any other persons that may be confederated with him in the fraudulent attempt to cheat the city out of the property. ‘The plaintiff asks that Walker be made a party defendant and compelled to answer these charges, though not under oath. That a nuwmber of the lots were sold when first platted. [Soweof the deeds are intro- duced in evidence. | ‘That Haldune personally called on some of those parties and falsely and deceitfully rep- resented that he was employed by the ¢ty to procure from them the deeds for said lots to cure up any defects in title, and said pur- chasers being willing to aid the city in pre- serying the park, and believing the false and fraudulent sontences of Haldane, exocuted and aelivered to him for a nominal consider- ation, deeds conveying to him any and all in- terest that might remain in them.as grantecs of Williams and wife. ‘That sald conveyuuces were made for the benefit of the city, und would not have been waae in order to aid Haldane t cheat the city out of the property. That Haldane instituted suit to deprive the cuty of the park, and he and his law partners tend to use these deeds as evidence of the legal title to said land in said Jason Walker. That the execution and delivery of the deed to Haldane and by Haldave to Walker was in trust. That the uriginal plat of Williams' second addition has been lost and the city caunot flnd it, although it has often searched dili gently for it That plat, certificates, and acknowledge wents and order were duly recorded by the country recorder in the proper records of the couuty, but that about the Ume of the frauduleat practices THE OMAHA DAILY ]lkfix TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1890. of Haldane above described, the pages in the record containing the record of said original piat and the record of the ncknowl- edgment, certificates and orders were cut out and spirited sway, and can not be found, though diligent scarch hae often been made for the same, ‘That in view of this loss a cloud has been cast upon the city's title, That in view of this loss the cloud &nd the conduct of Haldane, the city has secured o deed from Williams and wife showing on its face a conveyance of the legal title of the property, and an assignment of all equities that might remain in them. That the firm of Wright, Baldwin & Hal- dane hopes to take advantage of this 10ss to cheat the city out of the proverty. To the end that the city may obtain the relief to which it is entitled it prays the court to grant it due process by subpoena directed to said Jason Walker, requiring and command- ing him to uppear herein and answer (but not under oath) the same beiog expressiy waived, the several allegations in this bill That the court will issue a writ of njunc- tion restraining said Walker, his attorney agents or others acting in concert with him, from further prosecuting said suit at law till the matters in this petitiod set forth have been investigated by the court and the rights of the city determined. That upon the final hearing of the matters and things set forth, that the court will be decree auiet tho titlo of this property in the clty, and will by decree declare that “any in- terest derived® in the title whatsoever ac- qaired by the said Charies Haldane and by him conveyed to Jason Walker be conveyed to the city, and that the court will by decrce order and airect Jason Walger to execute and deliver to the city a deed conveying all such right, title and interest to the city, and that upon failure of said Walker to exccute and deliver such deed, the court will appoint some person in whom it has confidence to execute such decree by making to the city a deed conveying such interest. and that till the execution and do- livery “of such deed the decree entered by the court now prayed for shall stand 1n lien of & deed conveying to the city uny and ail rights acquired by the said Hal- dane from said Williums and wife as well as from their grantees.

The money due the city and collected by ¥he police judge is in his possession intact and will be tendered the civy treasurer along with either a written or verbal statement from Judge King explaining his reasons for _retaining it and the request that the quesuon of whether his offico is a salaried one or not be decided. One of the warmest friends of Judge King said yesterday: “If King needed §5,000 to straighten his accounts with the city he could have it from me without the asking. But I know his position exactly and there is no rea- son to foar that the city will lose $1 on ac. count of his management of his trust. .

As predicted in Sunday morning’s BEE, mandamus procesdings have been com- menced against Mayor Sloane compelling him to show his reasons in the courts for is~ suing the election call for three instead of nine members of the school board. A. B. Haley, the Brown park grocer, is the plaintiff in the suit. The papers were preparea Saturday afterncon by Attorney M. V. Ganuon of Omaha and were served on Mayor Sloune yesterday. J. W. Edgerton, attorney for the South Omaha school board, 1s glad the proceedings bave been commenced, as the auestion may just as well be sottled first us last, He is as confident as his opponents are of the sound- ness of his positions and is anxious to have the point tested. The decision of the courts on this sehool board question is of vital importance to South Omana, as it will kave a baaring on more than one point regarding the future government of the city. If the school board cnse goes aguinst the mayor there is no question then but saloons must pay a license of $1,000 a year even though the national census fails to show a population of 10,000 people in South Omaha. The result of the suit will be awaited with interest. Dissatisfied Democrats. The call for the democratic primaries and y convention is the causs of much dissatisfaction among the candidates und the party makers. The candidates ob- ject to tho short campaign because 1t affords no opportunity for defeated aspirants in the convention to make an effective indepandent canvass. The ward workers oppose the short campaign bacause it lessens the oppor- tunities for personal finanmal gain by South Omaha's omnipresent standing *‘touching committees.’ A gentleman who has taken consiaerablo part in politics handed the following com- munication to Tug Bee representative and requested its publication unent the demo- cratic call: To the Voters of South Omaha: The primaries in the coming election are delayed in order to deprive honest citizens of their rights.

Ricunune, Miss,, March 24,—|Special Tele gram to Tne Bee. | —Theoretically Jako Kil rein is a prisoner serving out a two months’ sentence for an assault committed on John L. Sullivan in Marion county. Practically he is enjoying full liberty and the genorous hospitality of a subjailer. When Jake left this city for Columbia, the county seat of Marion, Saturday morning 10 company with Charles W, Rich, it was with the belief that she efforts of his friends to secure his release under the prison con- tract systom had been futile. Jake was blue and 8o was Rich, Friday telegrams were passing between Rich and the authorities of Marion county, Rich was ordered to pro- duce Jake before the county commissioners. Rich is one of the wealthiest, most popular and influential young men in Marion county, and when he undertakes to do a thing he usually succeeds. On meeting the commis. mloners he took off his coat, produced n check book and began an argument in Jake's behalf, It required two hours of fast and emphatic talk to gain his pownt. but he gained 1t. The climax of the argument was reached when Rich signed a check for a good round sum and, throwing it before them, invited the commissioners to either accept or reject it, and to be in a hurry sbout making up their minds. The chieck was accepted. The amount of money it calls for is not yet known. Rich refuses to say, and the Marion county commissioners are equally reticent.

Try it —— 3D FOR INSOLE) The Duke of Orleans Too B2 Given His Liberty. New Yonrg, March 21,—[Special Telegram to Tur Br ~A Paris correspondent gives the reason why the disposition of President Carnot and the Irench ministry to pardon the young duke of Orleans was changed. On the day before his removal to Clairvaux jail a high official called and told him that he would be set at liberty on the morrow if he would give his parole not to re-enter France as long as the expulsion decree was in force against his family. The young duke, who been dining beavily as usual, was downright insolent to this peace bearer, and shouted out: *I don’t want vour pardon. If you let me go I will return and roturn again as often as I choose until the day comes when we shall drive all your rabole out of the country. You may tell that to the people who sent vou.”” ‘The official endeavored to reason with him, but it was quite useless, for he only grew more insolent. It was in consequence of the report made forthwith to the cabinet that it was decided to enforce the sentence. e s LOCAL WORLD OF IMPRISON CcE. ney to SPORT.

Jimmy Lind has returned from Chi- cago, where he has been for a couvle of weeks the guest of George Gales. Lindsay, before leaving the Windy City, signed arf cles for a ten-round glovo contest with Harry Gilmore, to take placo in this city in the carly part of April, in which the gate re- ceipts are the chief consideration. Charlio Daly of St. Louis 1s out with a challengo to fight any 140-pound man in America. Lindsay's attention was called to the defl, and he romarked: *‘Daly’s word is not worth the paper itis printed on, He onco agreed to meet me in Omaha at 140 pounds, and when he appeared he weighed 148} vounds, and then he would not fight after all.” Spalding's Kxcollent Guide, The Beris in recaipt of the advance sheets ot Spalding’s official base ball guide for 1800, which contaius among othor good things a full and comprohensive exogesis in the practical workings of the resarvo rule, besides all other lozitimate information por- taining to our great natioowl sport.
