While the Interost of the public was cen tered on the investigation of the alicged stealings of city officials in connection with the building of the city hall, another at tempted stoal of far greater magniiudo was being unearthed, and the aid of the district court was invoked to step in and prevent it It was nothing more nor less than an at tempt on the part of cortain Towa parties to digan immense diteh across the neck of the big bend just this side of Bellovue, turn the Missouri river through it, cut off 2,800 ucres of Nobraska land and throw it over into Towa. The maguitude of the scheme and the bold- ness with which the instigators of it were golng about its accomplishment, together With the ract that to successfully carry it out would mean the probable destruction of 80010 or more of lives, stamps it as the most diabolical and at the same time one of the most stupendous undertakings of a erim- inal character that was ever brought to the attention of the veople of Douglas, Sarpy and Pottawattamie countics. Been At It for Months. Although the plotters had been at work ever since last June in carrying their nefar- ious plans into effect, so'secretly had thev cotGucted their preliminary operations that o intimation of what they were ubout had reachea the notice of the publie, and it was orly when, emboldened by the success that had thus far attended their efforts, they be- camo more brazen in roshing the work through to a termination, that the property ownors who wero about to be despoiled of their possessions discovered what was going on, and at once WoK summary proceedings to oring operations to a standsull, At #:30 o'clock last Thursday afternoon Sheriff Whitney of Sarpy county served tie straining order issued by Judwe Scott that put a stop to the fwork, and now two great ditches, one 400 fest long and the othsr 150 feet long, seven feot deep and five teet wide, with great mounds of freshly turned earth along eitber side, are the silont witnesses of the stupendous steal that tive lowa faruwers attempted to perpetrate, but which will never be carried out. The bend at the point, at which the land thicves have been at work was somewnat changed by u freak of the er Missouri over thirty years ago, whan a portion of the original bend was cut off and thrown over into Iowa. The change in the river's course, nowever, threw it agaiust the Iowa shore at a point farther down stream, and it has ever sinco been cutting iuto probibition soil at thut place, and auring the quarter of u cen- tury that has intervened since then has gradually aaded huudrads of acras ot lowa land to the Nebraska shore, as if to make up for the generous slice that it had arbitrarily ceded to Towa 1u a bunch some time before, Hawkeye Lund Endangered., A fow rods from tha bend on tne Towa shore Mosquito_creek wir.ds 1ts way south- ward through the lowa bo'tom toward an- other big bend in the riveracouplo of miles below. In this creck the river must soon tind @ new channel if tue rapid cutting away of the enstern banl is not prevented, and by taking this course scveral fine farms on the Towa bottoms would be ruined and thousands of doilars damages done. To chunge the chanuel and stop further cutting away of the eastern bank those interested resolved on a oold move which, if successtully carried out, would cause tenfold more damage to tie Nebraska side than would be caused by the river cuttiug a new channel through Mos- quito creck. The farms on the other side of the river that ace now suffering from the encroacn- meats of the muddy siream are those of Abuer Wright and ovo Jeukins, and it is for these men that the contractor Who was cut ting the ditch sald that be was working when interrogated by the sheriff on that point, and tnese ave the individual whom the lnterested property owners on this side of the river propose to make sweat before they gat through with the case, ‘I'he one man who was instrumental more than suy otherin securing tho injunction aud stopping the work was Charles 1. Benja- min, the real estate map of this city. Ho told the whole story of the plot yesterday. His indiznation had hardly cooled evon in the thirty-six hours that nad elapsed sinco leaving the sceno of operation, and he began by characterizing the attempted steal as the most unparalielcd piece of wull and rind thot hud ever come to his notice, “Why," he said, “they had gone nbout it with just as much assurance and just a3 sys- tematically as though they owned all the land thatwould bo affactod and seamed as unconcerned ns though they were simply making a few unimportant changes in their own dooryard. They had even had an cugineer goover the ground and carefully mark out the routo which the diggers were to cover. y Were Working in Earnest. +Ob, 1 tell you the whole scheme had been mapped out, and it was only by the merest chunce that their plan was upset. If twe water bad been turned into that ditch there would be no such thing as undoing the work. Over 600 acres would bave been lifted to the lowa side at ke first pop and the lay of the land is such that over 2,000 acres more would have followed suit just as s00n as the channel got fuirly to work iu its new location. 1t would have cut off laud owned by Charles Childs, Lininger & Meteilf,” tho B. & M., H. 1.
