AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMARA. Mrs, Offerman Has Lost Hor Hors2, But She Knows Where to Find Him, HOW TO GET HM IS TH QUESTION. Bingular Legal Complication in a Case —Lanalord Charged With a De- to Maul a Boarder- Bachelors' Bl sive a Louls Van Epp was arraigned before Judge King at 5 p. m. yesterday on the charge of borse stealing. Mrs, Offerman, the complain- ing witness, had boarded @ norse av Van Epp's and claims that at the end of the time paid $5, the umount in full for the keeping of the animal She took the animal home, but next moening it wus micsing. A se: .I'( h ‘}I\» covered the fact that it was at the Van Epp farm. Some trouble followed about Mrs, Offerman not paying enough for the board of {ho animal and the upshot of tho matter was that the Vun Epps sold the animal under the estray act Mrs, Offerman was very indigrant and caused the arrest of Louie Van Kpp on the charge of bLorse stealing. The testimony adduced was not, in the opinion of Jndge King, sufficient to prove tho charge aod the prisoner was discharged. Mrs, Offerman, howover, is minus her horse and is wondering how in the world she could bo robbed in such a bold manner. A movement is afoot to aid Mrs. Offerman to securc hier horse, aud among tho persons interested aro some city officials, A writ of replevin is to be iseucd today at Bellevue, and proper legal measures will be taken to return the horse to her. Mrs, Offerman has a dying husband in the hospital, snd has in addition several children to support. Stopped by a Revolver. Wendell Ardner pourcd a tale of woe into the ears of Judge King today. Ho said that he boarded at the Grand Union boarding house and had occasion to doubt the morality of certain persons who stopped there of nights. A remari to this effectmado by him had reachied tho cars of Mr. Swartout, one of the proprictors, and Ardner says that that gentleman, accom s by another able bodied man, attempted to break into bis room Sunday night for the avowed purpose of aisfiguring nis anatomy. That as soor the feliows got ncross the threshold he shoved a revolver in their faces and re marked Jaconically that it would be healthier for them to retive. They reluctantly acted on the suggestion, but ho belicved they were plar ning anoth assault that might prove serions to him. He finaily dectared that ho wanied o warrant sworn out. His tionor asked Avdner if he wished a wartaut sworn out for the two breaking into bis room or onc to put them under bonds to Keep the peace, or one to arrest proprio tors for running a house of ill fame. M, Arduer scratehed his bead and wasn't wanted all three. He was efore referred to the city attorney. How Popp Lost His I orse. Maijck Popp drove down to Albrizht Sun- day evening and hitched his horse In front of the Alieck hotel and went isto the bar to get a tcigar.” Ou returning a fow minutes later he found the rig missing. Suspecting that 8ome horso thiof bad got in his work he im- mediately informed the polico. ‘e oficers looked in vain for the horse thief, butshortly after midnight found the borse and bug the norther part of the city in a dilapid condition. The vehiclo was smushed, the harness broken, the robe missing and the whip ruined and showing evidences of having been unmercifully plied. There was every cvidonce that the thief in his eagerness to get away had suffered o smash-up and then had abanconed the stolen property. Moanwhile Mr. Popp was very busy d alttie dotecrive work and he was finally satisficd that he had discovered the culprii. Accordingly yesterday he swore out a Warrant for one Otto Schultz, Bashtul Bachelors.

Amerioin Water Works Affairs Gatting Into a Very Serious Snarl, CHARGES OF ATTEMPTED W3ECKING. Alleged OMoers of the Conce strainad From Interforing With Its Businoss in Any Way— Local Situation. ‘Tho affairs of the American Waterworks company are becoming moreand more snarled each day. Suits and injunctions are being filed at Now York and Daaver and tha Omaha brancli of the big plant is suffering m the effects of them, Everything hero is tied up and the officers and managers of the company are unable to turn a tap further than the mere supplying of the city with water until the case is settled in ono way or another. The annual meeting of tno stockholders is usually held in Decomber, but this was proventad this year by soms minority holders of shares at Doaver securing an in- junction preventing tho moeting until the couris huve passed on the legality of the acts of the company which has béen working under two wevrporations, one in Ilinois and one in Now Jorsey. Harry W. Iiliott of Now York, on Satur day, obtained from Justice Audrews of the supreme court, a tomporary iujunction re straining the American Water Works com- pany, Dennis Sullivan, Francis P. McManus and Richard L.

According to the opinion of leading real es tato owners and brokers the library board is paying, or proposes 1o pay, an exnorbitant price, when it thiuks of expending $18.000 for a lov with a frontago of only thirty feet and a depth of eighty-eight, adjoiniog the corner lot at the southeast corner of Nineteenth and Hurney streets, which was donated by the Keed estate for library purposes. The lot proposed to be bought by the board adjoins the corner lot on tlm cast and frouts on Harney. At tio proposed purehaso price of $13,000 for the thirty-foot Lot tho ground would bo worth £00 a (ront foot, Real estute men who are authority on values as- sert that the donated lot is ot worth over &) und some thwk it is not worth over 300 a front foot. And if the coruer lou's \‘ul‘uu is not ovar 8100, they say an inside lot agjoining it is surely not worth any more. Thoy claim that the prop- orty is very undosirablo s an old creck bed undertios it and that it would bo_dangerous, uncertain and very costly to put in a suitablo foundation for a large building. Thero also a big fill to overcome, and all in ail the real estate mon speak very disparagingly of tho ground, us it has no fuil lots, 65x132 feet in dimensions, and becguse thera is no alley. The majority of tho dealers placad ths valie of the adjoining lot at $12,000 aud think that is a fair price for it. “The first man asked what the property was worth wasJ. W. Paul,who,in placing a valuo on the donated corner lot,which in dimensions 18 HUXES feet,sald it was not worth moro than £23,500 or 2130 a front foot, s thivty-foot adjoining lot which the board pro- posed to pay §18,000 or #0) a frout foot, in his opinion was not worth £400, waich would make the value about $12,00), It the prop y,”! soid he, *bad a depth of 132 feet it would be worth in the neighborhood of §300- bui more desivable property west of Twen tieth street can be purchased for $230 a front foot. 1 tnink it is a poor iden for the library board to purchase tha adjoiniug picco of proverty s it is not worth near what is askea for it. In tho first place it will ave 10 be brought to grade, requiring a large fill, and in the socond thero isa large sewer under block, and 1 bolive itis unaer the donated lot. Another objectionablo feature that de- traets from the value of the property, is tho fuct that there is no alley. 1 think $10) a tront foot for those insido Harney strewt lots, including the piece of proporty proposed to be bought, would be a big price W. G. Shriver, whon asked his opiunion to the lots, said the corner ¢ Wias no! £100 & frout foot, making 1t worth 22,400, As to the adjoiniug thirty foot lot, he values that at $12,000. “But,” sma he, “if tha adjoining lot was to bo sold alono, and not used in connection with the cornor lot it would mnot be worth o 00 a front foot. 1 thought the libravy board was getting u full-sized, Gix143 lot, when 1 saw in the p 3 that it paying, or proposud o pay, $15,000 for it Way, ul the present rate that price would be nearly #0,000 for a full lot, 'It's not worth NOT WORT ing to the by-laws if they cannot securo control; of | mply that old fight | omach and | the | BEE it. Twoelve thousss dollars is u good price for the thirty-foobilet which the board pro- poses o buy.” “There {8 no #ale for property in that neighborhood,” safl Judge . M. Stenverg when asked for nis epinion, “and therefore it is difficult to place & value on the property. Ithink it's havdly; worth #500 a front foot, considering tho fact that the surroundings aro bad and there 1s no alley in tho block. Thero is an oid croek bed in that vicinity and onaccount of the extra ex- pense in making a foandation the value of the property groatly decreases, Thero is also a nice legal question involyed in tho library board’s purchase of the adjoining lot. As 'l remember the peoplo voted on the proposi- tion for bonds with the understanding that the library building be erected upon tho donated lof.and not upon an adjoining one,’ George XN, Hicks stuted that ho had nevor given property in the vicinity of Nincteenth aund Harney streots any attention and could not give an estimated valuo of cither tho library lot or the adjoining one. It was neither residence nor business property, and 1 1o sules had been recently made in ' that locality ho could not say what it was worth, He thought howoever, that the library board was paying all the property was worth, George W. Ames said tho corner lot was in his opinion worth §06 a front foot, or §22,- 400. Ho put the same value on the adjoin- | ink lot per front foot, which is $12,000 for tho lot. He thought this was a faiv price. 1f it Were not to be used with the corner lof 1t was not so desirable and was worth less money. Mr. Anws said tho library property could not bo compared with property at Figh- teenth and Harnoy streets, and he knew of a corner lot at that place for'salo at §531 a front oot 1. 1. O'Donolioo placed the values of the lots at a great deal lower figure than did any of tho other dealers. On accouat of a sower in the block, no alloy, and the bad state of the ground for a foundation, he suid the donated lot was not worth over $16,000, and the adjoining lot not over §3,000. He thought 8300 . front foot for the ground was a good price. The cost of a foundaation, no sald, woula bo 100 per cent greater on account of the imporfect condition of tho | eartn, and for that reason the value of tho lots depreciated to a g ree.
