SENSATIONAL LINCOLN CASE Ohief of Molice Dinges Accused by Gam- blers of Robbery. THEY THINK HE GOT THEIR MONEY Exciting Scenes of Last Fall Revived in Which the City Ofcers and Constables Narrowly Escaped a Battle—Other News Notes, o1x, Neb,, Jan, 27.—|Special to Tue 3 The most sensational trial that has taken place in Lincoln for many months oo ourred today before County Judge Lansing, the case being that of the State against O. P. Dingos, chief of the Lincoln potice. Mr. Dinges was arrosted last week upon a war- rant swora out by Dennis Hammond, who oharged him with the larceny of &5. The case is one of the number resulting from the famous raid upon the gamblers last Septem- ber. On the 10th of that month the polico, acting under orders of Mayor Weir and Chiet Dinges, raided the gambling dens of the cily. Among the places visited was tho resort known the [vy Loat. Here Dennis Hammond and other gamblers wero arrested and the imploments of thelr “‘profession’ confiscated. The gam blers replevined their proporty upon i writ {ssued by Justice Foxworthy, but the chief rofused to surrender It, Thereupon the con- stablos undertook to break into_the vault Wwhere the property was stored. They were promptly arrested, but afterwards were ro- leased. Yesterday they brought an action against the chiet for muking an improper re- tura of the writ of habeas corpus servea upon him, but the case was aismissed. Chlef Dinges Aceused of Larceny. Denn's Hammond, one of the gamblers, in a desire, as he oxpressed it, to “'get ovon’’ last week had Chief Dinges urrested on the charge of larceny. He founded his charze upon the assertion that in one of the tables confiscated by the chiof was $35, which the chief had taken out and appropriated to uis own use. The case was, set for trial today and the county court room was crowded with interested spectators who had gathered to hear the testimony in what gromised to be the most seusational trial of the year. Ex-Police Sergeant Splain, who particl- ated in_the raid, testified that he had seen “hief Dinges take the money from the drawer of the table and transfer it from his right hund to his left. W, B. Baird testified that he had oxamined the arawer after it had been taken to the police station but that it was empty. Anson Flullington swore that he biad placed the $35 in the drawer previous to the raid and his testimony was corrobo- rated by Robert Bracken, Chief Dinges' Defense, For the defense the first witness called was CaptainMiller, He testified that ho was present when the raid was made. He was positive that Chief Dinges took nothing from the drawer of the table but a Colts revolver and some silver money. He helped to gather up the chips, ete, and from where he atood would 'have noticed any bills in_the drawer had there veon any there. From where Splain and Yeomans stood thoy could net have seen the contents of the drawor as well as he could. Ofticor Malone's testimony fully cor- roborated that of Captain Miller in every porticular. Ex-Oficers Ratliffe and Carter als0 testified substantia'ly to the same effect. It Was a Complete Refutation, Chief Diuges took the stand in his own defease. He denied emphatically that ho took the money. He disputed the testimony of Yeomans to the effect that ho had entered into any arrangement whereby the gamb- lers were to be permitted to run during fair week unmolested. His testimony was a_complete refutation of 1he charges made against him. At the con- clusion of his testimony the case was sub- mitted to the judge without areument, Judge Lansing at once dismissed the caso on the grounds that there had not been suf- “I:n“ ovidence to make @ case agaiust the chief, Kxplodes a Sensation, Byron C. Yeomans, a detective formerly in the employ of the city, took the stand and at onco exploded a sensation that had been uulooked for, He swore that previous to tho raid Chief Dinges had informed him that he bad entered into an arrangement with the gamblers by which they were to bo per- mitted to run their places undisturbed dur- ing fair week. In consideration for this len- fency upon the part of the chief, he (the " chief) was toreceive one-third of the proceeds, Yeomans testified further that Chief Dinges bad requestea him to zo to the gamblers and close the deal. He steted that ne called upon the gamblers as requested but was unable to make any such arrangements, On cross-ex- amination Mr. Yeomans admitted that he himself received $100 from the gamblers, but thut it was for services which he had ren- dored for the fraternity before he had been employed as city detective, His testimony on this point was to the effect that before he entered tho service of the city he haa been employed by the gamblers at a salary of £59 rur month, He bhad consnlted with Chief dinges and Mayor Weir in regard to the pro- gflcty of taking the money and thoy advised im that it was all right, He was not pres- ont at the raid, Permanent Home Desired. The Congregationalists of Neoraska are 1ooking for a permanent home for Doane col- lege now located at Crete. At a meeting of the Stato association held last fall at Fre- mont it was decided that but one college ould be maintained in the state. Doane college wus founded at Crete over twenty yoars ago, and until recently has enjoyed the united sugport of the church in this state. Gates college, located at Neligh, has been trying for the past few vears to got recogni- tion Gates has Cougragatioual coliege. many fricnds in the northern part of the state, and at the Fremont meoting made a hard but unsuccessful fight to obtain recogni- tio.. The association passed & resolution that 1t would maintain but one college, and n}spfllnwd s commission o 100k up the matter of relocation and repost ata future meeting of t{le assoclation, TiAs commission met at the Congregational church at this place yesterday. The mem- bers of the committee presont were Rov. Mr. Findlay of Weerin, ater, Prof. Hort of Eranklin, Rev. Mr, Powell of Chadron, W. H. Russell of Omaha, ¥. 5. Knapp of Ber- nd Rev, Mr. Cochran of York. After perfecting the organization, the following resolution was unanimously adopted : Resolved, That & committee of five be ap- 1o reoelve und report at a future provosed donations of property for tral college for the state, tteo ulso report at the v of property held by #es thatoun bo trans- new locution: wlso that sume come inittoo réceive proposuls from both Crete und )‘:le“llw:n upon the same bLasis us from other cus. Aun iuventory was recently made of the property now owned by Doane college at Crete, which amoaunted to $194,000, Should this fustitution be taken away it would most likely retuin its present name of Doano ana an academy started at Crete would be callod the Crete academy. Judge Field ana Mr. Boggs took the committee out to one of the suburbs of Lincoln to show thom some prop. ty, and in case of & trausfer of the college Lincoln will mal hard fight to get it.

Two Raflroad Compunies Ru Through the Black Hills Mr. A. E. Dale of Deadwood is in the city on business connected with mining interests in the Black Hills, and brings interosting nows of railroad operations in that section. Ho reports two ewgineoring corps out sarveying routes between Deadwood and Spearfish. The aistance botween the places by stage is about sixteen miles. It is understood that the surveying parties are inthe employ of the B. & M. and the Elkhorn, and it {s believed in Deadwood that one or both lines will be constructed the coming season. Spearfish is a likely town already, aud has a fine water power which it couuts on to help make it a milling center after it gets railroad facilities, Mr, Dalo reports work actively in progress in wmidwinter on the Dakota, Wyoming & Missouri River railway. A line about thirty- five miles long has been surveyed from Rapid City on the Elkhorn westward to Mystic on the Burlington. About twelve miles have been graded, and it is expected the road will be in operation by August 1. Its promoters have just succeeded in float. ing first mortgage bonds for $530,000, which it is thought will leave a profit of $150,000 on the construction. Rapid City has also voted w0 bona for $100,000, ostensibly for water works but really, it is said, for the beneflt of the railroad. A legal limita- tion prevented the voung of bonds directly, but through the medium of William T. Coad, who is president of the railroad and the representative of the water works com- y, it is represented to Mr. Dale, that bstacle is to be circumvented. The people who want the railroad very much, are not going to make a microscopical investigation as to how much of their bonus 1s spent on the water works. Rapid City expects big things of the new road, Its business men complain thst tho Elkhorn railway has taken advantave of their helplessness and has not given them conces- sions they thought they were entitled to. They count on the connection with the B. & M. to give them the benefits of competition, and Mr, Dale found a strong sentiment in favorof pledging all business possibie to the Burlineton to secure its favor, Rapid City also counts on the development of the rich mining district along the route. The new s ter at that point will need 175 tons of ore a day to van it_at full capacity. It now has to look to Deadwood for 1ts ore, but expects the new railroad to open up another source of supply. The raiiroad from Rapid City eastward toward a connection with the Milwaukee at Chamberlain on the Missouri river is at a stand still, It was backed by local capital, which was exhausted after grading ton or twelve miles. An effort is now veing made to consolidate the enterprise with the com- pany building west from Rapid City and to enlist eastern capital, but the outlook at present is not very flattering. ———— Unioa sosp is made of wes torn pro- duots—try it o s Says He is Persccuted, Gert MoCoy called at this office and com- plained that the police are continually arrest- 1ng him on the eharge of vagrancy and hav- ing no visible means of support.

GAPEN'S CASE IN COURT Quo Warranto to Oust Dr. Somers Com- menced at Lincoln Yesterday. SLOCUM LAW HELD TO BE CONSTITUTIONAL Habeas Corpus Asked b of Boone County Denied Seward County's Bos Supreme Court N Liquor Seller White Validity of ~Other s LixcoLy, Nob,, Jan. 27.—[Special to Tar Bee,] —Dr. Clarke Gapon of Omaba proposes to settle the dispute between himself and the powers that be in Omaha by an appeal to the supreme court. Yesterday his at- torneys called upon Attorney General Hast- ings and requested him to bring proceadings in quo warranto to oust Dr. Somers from the office of commissioner of health in the name of the state. Thisthe attorney general de- clined to do unless an indemnifying bond was put up. Dr, pen’s attorneys then withdrew their request. Today an informa- tion in the nature of quo warranto proceed- ings was filed with the clerk of the supromo court by Dr. Gapen, who prosecutes the caso 1 his own proper person. The potition, stripped of its legal verbiage, sets forth that on April 28, 1801, Dr. Gapen was duly appointed commissioner of heaith for the city of Omaha, as proviaed by law, and his appointment was contirmed by the coun- cil. His torm of office was to_continue two years, Buton January 16 the defendant, Dr. A. B. Somers, did invado the office of re. lator and witnout warrant of law did usurp and assume the rights and fuuctions of the office of commissioner of frealth, Dr. Gapen asks that Dr, Somers be declared not entitled to the office, but that he (Dr. Gapen) bo vested with the rights and privilegos he is now deprived of. Liquor Law Constitutional. Among the important opinions s that of the application of D. A, White fora writ of habeas corpus, White alleged in his petition that he was being uniawfully held a prisoner by Sheriff I"erris of Boone county, he having been arrested upon the charge of unlawfully keeping for sale malt and spirituous liquors. He applied for a writ of habeas corpus on several grounds, prominent among which were: That chapter xxxiiiof the laws of 1880 under which ha was arrested is uncon- stitutional and void for the reasons that it is amendatory of chapter 1 of the compiled statutes of Nebraska and is not complete in itself and does not contain and does not repeal the said chapterlof the compiled statutes; hecause the said chapter xxxiiiof the laws of 1889 amends section 11 of chanter 1 of tho compiled statutes of Nebruska and does not contain ner repeal said section so amended; and because the subject of said chapter xxxiii is not clearly expressed in 1ts title. The supreme court denied the appli- cation for a writ of habeas corpus, Chief Justice Maxwell delivering the opinion to the following effect: The original jurisdiction of the supreme court in habeus corpus proceedings is con- ferred on tha court and not on the judges singly. There Is no authority. theretore, for a judge of the court alone to grantor hear a writ of huboas corpus. Second. Ordinarily the proceedings should be instituted in the county where the unlaw- ful restraint is allezed to “exist, and the pro- ceodings may be reviowed on error. Third, The complled stututes having been published under authority of law. and being supposed to contain all the laws in force ut the dute of publication muy be amended by proper reference thereto. and 1f the amenda- tory act clearly polntsout the portion of the tute amended, tho objection that the dment 15 of the complled statutes will be d suppiemental to chapter 1 of statutes of IK3, entitled liquors,” ter germane to the purpose of chapter | may be added, rifth, The lozislature’ has the right to chooso the title of any act passed by It and although that cliosen muy not be the most ap- propriat s the uet |5 not within the title, or contains twor or more subjects, or ocherwise violutes the constitution, it will nov De declared unconstitutional. Another Important nse, A case of importance to every county in the state was handed down by the supremo court today. A brief history of the case is as follows: ; One hundred thousand dollars of bonds were voted by Seward county in about 1874 to aid in the building of the Midland Pacitic railway. The bonds were refunded in 1854, The refunding bouds are now ‘owned by the Board of Educational Lands and Funds. The state has $100,000 invested in them. In June, 1891, Soward county sgain refunded the bonds. They were refunded under chap- ter xxix, session laws 1883. Section 2 of this chapter ' provides that the act shall apply t aud include bonds that have been held to be a valid and bind- ing obligation against the county by a court of cowpetent jurisdiction. This law has nover been construed by the court, and the state raving $100,000 of school funds invested in the bonds, the attorney general advised the auditor of public accounts not to register the bonds and asked Sevard county to apply for a peremptory writ, in order that the court of last resort would have to constru the law under which the bonds were refundea. If the court held the re- funding was properly done under the 1853 act, it would remove all doubt as to the se- curity of the investment. If tho court should hold the other way, the bonds the state board now holds are regulur and valid. The original issuc of 100,000 iu bonds are owned oy the permanent school fund and draw 6 por cent futerest. The retunding bonds draw 414 per cent interest. In the fall of 1800, the board agreed with Seward county to take the refunding bonds, if properly issued. ‘I'here being a question of the legality of the issue and the furtner fact that the permanent school fund would ve the ioser in the event these bonds should eventually be declared invalid, it was deemed prudeut that all doubts be first removed s to their validity. Today Chief Justico Maxwell placed a construction on the law and handed down the following opinion: . In 1857 the lpzislaturé passed “An act to authorize the Issue of county bonds in certain ouses.” This provided for fssuing refunding bonds to replace bonds Issued to rallroad com- panies or any work of internal Improvement. his not was carrled In_the compiled statutes of 1881 a8 sectlons 11, 12 and 18, chapter In 188 the legislatnro passed an act to sutho 1ze countles to {ssue refunding bonds at not to oxceed 6 per cent lnterest to replace othor bonds previousiy lued by tho county nud then payable, ~Held, thut the act of 1883 np- plied” to all bouus 'previously issued by u county and then payabl Second.

Two Omaha Cases. ‘The opinion in the case of the Omaku Real Estate ond Trust company cgainst John A, Murphy, which came up on npgell from Douglas county, was delivered by iof Jus tice Maxwell. The case grew out of & con- tract for the sale of six lots in Saunders & Himebaugn's Highlaod Park addition, Mur- pby and Peter Woodmansee, who is also a arty o the suit, agreed Lo pay $90 for tha ots, 890 of the amount to be paid in cash and the balance in monthly installments of $25 each. Murphy and Woodmansee pald the cash agreed upon and one installment, but refused to pay more. The trust company sued for the balance and the defendants in their answer that the lots which the company agroed to sell them were not the oues mentioned and de- scribed in the contract. The case was tried before Judge Wakeley and resulted in a vie- tory for the defendants, The supreme court affirmed the decision of the district eourt, holding, In an aetion by a vendor of real estate to euforce the t for the sule of cortain nt of the plalatif in sellin seuted that they were high und dry und that they bud no knowledge ny 10 the location of the lots, and re.led in sald representations, and the' lots were not bizh and dry und level, hut. on the contrary, were situated 1n a low place Held, that as the testimony was conflicting, and it did not ap- pear that the Judgment was clearly wrong, 1t would uot be set as.de. In the case of Hayward Bros. against Ramge, from Douglas county, the judgment of the lower court val affirmed, Justice Nor- val rendering the opinksh as follows : A tenant has no rightias devote the demised premises to a | ‘Innu(pwlhllm‘. by the loase, wlil':mlt the consent of the owner. d enjoyment of $ho property by the the landiord. b6 _obligation to pay rent censed to have thag effect. the acts of the Tossor In Interforence with the 16ssee’s posses- slon must clearly show that it was the inten- tion of the lessor that, tho lesseo should no longer continue to hold the premises. A mere trespuss by the landlovd witnout any fnto tlon of depriving the tenant of tho onjoy of the premises will A6t constituto an evle- tion, Affecting Pub operty. Tha case of Toncray against Dodgo county is something of a pectiliir one. Louis Spear was clerk of the district court of Dodge county and loft nine books of the records of the court in the court room nearly four weeks after the adjournment of court. The county had pro- vided an adequate fireproof vault for the preservation of such books. The books were injured or destroyed hy tire whilo remainine in’ the court room. The county thereupon exvandeda $1,321 in the purchase of new books and transcrioing from those injured by fire. Hold, that the county was entitled to recover value of such books and labor and that the questions were fairly submitted to the jury. Corporation Property Cannot e Sold. The judgment of the district court for Daweon county in the case of the Overton Bridee company against Means was reversed and the case remanded with directions to enter a decree in accordance with the prayer of the petition. Justica Post delivered the opinion as follows : Property of a public corporation, such as a brid. e company, Which 1s essentinl to tne ex- ercise of its franchiso and the aischarze of the duties {t_has essumed toward the general public caunot in the absence of statutory an- thority be seized and soid tv satisty an ord nt. The only romedy of cro cases 1s to obtain the appoin CoIver and i soquestration of v mpany’s carnin Question isdiction, Tho judgment In the caso of Courtney against Neimoyer from Kearney county was affirmed. Neimoyer & Co. recovered a judg- mont against Campbell and_Gibbery upon o joint, promissory note and caused an_execu- tion to bo issued thereon which was levied by tho sloriff on_partoership proporty bolong- ing to Campbell and Gibbery. Soon afterwards and boforo a sale under tho execution, Campbell & Gibbory as @ firm confessed judgment in favor of McPhee- ley, who thercupon caused an execution to bo issucd thoreon, which was lovied by & constablo upon the same property as that proviously levied upon by the sheriff. in an action in equity by Neimeyer & Co., in which they alleged that the dobt on which their judgment was based was a firm cebt of Campbell and_Gibbery, the answer raised the same question, and upon the issues thus formed tho court found in favor of Neimeyer & Co.; Held, that the judement wat sup- ported by tho cloar weight of evidence. Second, Whero the court has jurisdiction of the subject matter and the parties, and the lssues aro tried without objection, the court will not on its own motion raise objec- tions to its jurisdiotion. otordon R Any grocer can supply you with Quail rolled oats—delicious for breakfust.

There are undoubtedly some sincoro republicans and earnest mon- archists, but the two classes combined form a vory small part of the total population. The great danger tu the republic, then, pro ceeds not so much from the strongth of the monarchists as from the weakness of 1he re- public itself. Under ordinary circumstances the conservative feeling of the people would compensate for the want of devotion 1o the ropublican cause, but at present this feeling is in abayance, boing supplantod by a wide- spread spirit of restlossness and discontent, which, having no particular object in view, may be used for almost any purpose by able schemers who can succeed in controling it. The overthrow of monarchy in November, 1889, was the result rather of this feeling tha of any longing for republican institu- tions. After November 23 the agitation in favor of monarchy became quiie active aud it was rumored that on the 2nd inst., the em- peror’s birthday, a revolutionary movement would be attempted by the monarchists. Mutinous behavior on one of the war vessels in port and in the naval batallion, strengthenea the belief in the report, and tho troops were held 1n readiness during the day, which, however, passed off quietly. Th, of the Monarchists, Tho death of the emperor on the 5th, far from dazing tho enthusiasm of the monar 1sts, greatly contributes to increase it. The pathetic circumstances under which it oc- ourred, and the extraocdinary honors paid to his memory, appealed strongly to the imag- ination and caused monarchial feelings, tom- porarily at least, in many bosoms n which thoy had long lain dormant. This, togother with the dissentions among republicans, some of whom are bittorly disappointed 1n the resuits thus far obtained from the repub- lican governmeut in Brazil, and the prevail- ing impression that the present government is weak, encouraged the monarchists to make demonstrations, which have been followed by counter demonstrationson the part of the republicans, n tho'emperor’s birthday, cries of “Long live the monarchy ! were froquently heard. On the 17th o small steamer eugaged in the coast trade entered the harbor flyine the imperial flag. When this was perceivea, a boat was sent out from one of the ironclads to investigate the matter, and the captain of the steamer, on being questioned, stated that at the last port at which he haa touched he had beeu informed that monarchy was re-es- tablished in Brazil. Retaliation by the Republicans. On ke evening of the previous day, a band of armed republicans attacked a small gath- ering of monarchists, and after dispersingz them proceeded to ti fice of the Journal do Brazil, which it caused to hoist the repub- ican flag. On the morning of the 17th, another band of armed republicans, composed, it is said, principally of roughs headed by ‘cadets from the military school, made an attuck on the curbstone brokers and put them to fight, af- terwards parading the streets in triumph with shouts of *‘Death to the monarchy,and “Long live the republic.” Republican meetings were held and pro- tests were made against the monarchical demonstrations, and against the ofticial hon- orspald to the emperor's memory by the French government at his funeral in Paris, and deputations were appointed to call on President Floriano Peixoto to ask bim to take vigorous measures against the enomies of tho republic. Trying to Maintain Order. The officers of the garrison have passed resolutions promising to maintain order and to uphold republican institutions, and their exawple has boen followed by the' officers of troops stationed in other parts of the coun- try. Tbe chief of police in this city has is- sued orders prohibiting assomblages in the strects. ‘I'hess republican demoustrations have ef- fectually cowed the monurchists, at least for the present. Tne ediior in chief of the Bra- zil, after a long 1nterview with the minister of justice, decided to discontinus the publica- tion of his paper, fearing that his offica might be destroyed by a republican mob, The government, it is true, has declared that it will cause the liberty of the press to be respected, but whilc many persons are con- vinced of the good intentions of the govern- ment, no one, in view of the number of print- ingoffices that have heen destroyed, believes in its ability to keep its promise.

Jan. 18, 1802, To whom It May Concern: This is to_certify that I hav constant sufferer for many y catarch, asthma and bronchia tions of tho throat, and tried all the patent medicines and remedies I ever heard of, but with no success. I treated with doctors in various parts of the country, but none of them could do me any good further than giving me short temporary reliel. I suffered night and and continued to grow worss not- withstanding all the medicine I had tuken. I had almost givon up my case s hopeless when L was informed by friend of Dr C. Gee Wo, the Chinese doctor, and advised to go and see him in the hope of getting relief at least, if not a permanent cure for my trouble. I was slow in making up my mind to ms such a radical chango 1o my treatment, as [ knew a trial with the Chinese doc~ or would bring me, but I finally con- luded to give him a trinl, so I called at his office with that intention. 1 found the doctor a clover, entertaining gentle- man, thoroughly posted on my condi- tion, and it took only a v short timo to convince me that he was the party I was 80 long in search of. He told me my case was curable, and that he could cure me, and prepared me a special treatment to suit my condition, and in two weeks 1 wus ~0 much better that T had the fullest confidence in the doctor’s ubility and committed my case to his treatment. I continued to grow better rapidly and am now entirely well. I owe my cure to Dr. C. Geo Wo, and am not ashamed to admit it. T adviso all who want relief from their troubles to callon Dr. C. Gee Wo, and they will be cured. For all particulars apply or write to MARTIN L. ANDERSON, 3121 Cuming St., Cmuha, Neb. DR. C.
