FIGHTING FOR HIS OLD OMAHA HOME Victorions in Ten Law Sait: e Now Asks ages From the Men Who Have t Ris Court Dolngs wslons— A lawsuit which boars the marks of anti- quity, and on which the finger of time has left its imprint is on trial in Judge Fergu- son's court. Owine to its age and the number of times that it has ooen tried, this case has furnishod many @ lawyer witn a fat feo during the past quarter of a century. Among the members of the legal profession the suit is known as that of John Flanizan against Jacob While the suit 1s not of public importance, there are some interesting umstances surrounding it.

Tho oid gentleman was born and reared a sluve in the sunny south, remainiog in captivity until tho surronder of Koru Denolson, in 1862 Fora number of months he followed the union avmy, doing camp duty. In 1863, Flanigan wandored to Omaha and found em- ployment as a janitor about the office of the old Republ which then was under the guidance of B. Taylor, 1his Home 18 Involved, Not being abundantly supplied with worldly goods, Flanigan and his wife lived in @ hut on Taylor's farm in the vicinity of what is now Thirty-second street and the Belt Line tracks, There he has rosided for thirty years and has seen Omaha grow from man, over whose au Indian villiage into a metropolitan city. Durivg all of these long weary years tho old man has farwed and Talsed garden truck, thus occumulating a fortuno which ho had laid up to be used on the coming of & rainy day. After hving on the forty-acre tract (or some ten years Flan 1gan’s troubles commenced, ang he claims that it was then that the effort to dispos- sess him of Lis property was made, He claims that Taylor intended to deed him twenty acres ol the land, but that the deed wus never executed. It wus then toat Seth Ward, who held a mortgage on & portion of the tract, tricd tooust tho old colored man. T'hecaso went into the United States court and Flanigan came out victorious. Then the present defendant got possession and law suits were commenced against Flavi- gan but at each trial he was ou top. Falicg to dofraud tim _of s prop- erty throuch the courts, Flanigan claims that [lton began a series of per- secutions, which ho has kept up for years. He claims that Blton bas torn down his fences, plowed up his crops ana driven his stock upon Lis growing erops, wying to in- timidate hima and force him off tne land. As the outcome of the whole trouble and after tho trial of ten suits, each of which he has ‘won, Flanigan is in court seekiog to recover the sum of #,00) damages.

MIDDLETON'S METHODS He Us:d & Proxy to Pass a Oivil Servics Examination. RUSE EMPLOYED BY AN AMBITIOUS BOY Another Man Is Carrying Mail on His Roate Now and the Postmaster is Wonder- ng What Will Turn Up Next In the OfMe. The Omaha postoffice has brought to light another case of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. The story is a uuique ono but has very little of the romantic counected with it. In August, 1800, a young mon who said his name was Outo Middieton presented himself along with about thirty other applicants to take the civil servico examination necessary to secure the position of mail carrier. Mr. Mid- dleton's papers were consigered very cred ituble and he was soon piaced on thoe eligible list. A few mouths later hio was appointed as a mail carrier. Wuen he apneared av the office to begin work Mr. Molle, ono of the local board of examiners, was impressed with the idea that this was not the Otto Middlcton who hud passed the examination several months vrevious, but thinking that he might possible be mistaken b let the mutter rest aun watched for developments. The mental picture whlch Mr. Mohin carried in his eyc of the Mr. Middiston who passed the examination represented him to bo a rather slight yeung man of medium height, whereas the Mr. Middleton wno appeared to take the position wasa much taller wan and wore & mustache, which the former had not. Middleton Couldn’t Speil. In o fow months it was noticed that Mr. Middleton, the carrier, was & very poor speller, *‘Whon he began to send bick let- ters and papers with ‘ot known’ written across them, spolling the word known, ‘rone.’ " said Mr. Moble, I bogan to wonder how that mun ever passed the examination and my susnicion grew stronger from day to day that ho was not the man we had recom- mended to the department and whoso papers wo hud forwarded to Washington.” A fow wenks ago Mr. Moble told Post- muster Clarkson of his doubts about the Midaleton case and the postmaster, after exammng Middloton’s bandwriting, ‘called bim iuto the oftice and questioned bim about the matter. Middleton put on a bold front and declared that he was the same man who t00k the examination. The postmaster had Middleton cony one of the exawination pa- pers and his penmanship vroved beyond a douot that he could not havs been the man who made out the papers in 189, Middleton was asked to make oath to tho statement that ho was the person who passed the examination, and tnere he stuck. “If my word isn't good enough you can take vour position and give me my tim saia Middleton, precending to be greatly of- fended.

BLOUDY FIGHTING IN V. Crespo's Crowning Battle Won—Will Ay Today. New Yonrg, Oct. 6.—A World La Guayra, Venezuelu, cable dated Uctover 5, says: A desperate battle has just taken place at Tos Teques, & small town on the railroad line to Valeucia at & pomnt about equally distaut between that place gnd Caracas; 000 are killed and niany high governmept officers captured. Crespo has struck another decisive blow which, following on his previous successes, meuns victory for the Crespists, Caracas is wore than excited, for Crespo has anunounced his determination to enter the capital tomorrow. He has made.sa formal demand for the surrenderof the city. From news received here, the fight was a most bloody one. Considering the size of the contending armies, the number killed in- dicates serious fighting on both sides. But stubborn as was the resistance of the gov- ernment troops they had to fly bofore the Crespists ana were utterly routed. Crespo had at his disposal sowe 14,000 men, in ing 6,000 broughtto him by Genoral C who joined him some days agoat Valencia, Under Crespo were Generals Vegas and Quintans, who started some days ago by aif- ferent roads ou tne way to Caracas, their ob- Jeetive point. "The revolutionist ganeral possessed twelve pleces of artillery and had tho assistance of several Americans, besides that of General Widener, & German, and General Betalli, an Italian. General Pulido, an uncle of the acting president, was in command of the eoveru- ment forces, numbering 6,000, and went to Los Teques to tuke up a position in order to repal Crespo's advanco on the capital, which was thus denuded of troops, I'his defeat robs President Pulido of his army. All the government officials at Los Teques and those accompanying the presidential party are reported to be prisoners at Crespo’s camp. T.a Guayra is still 1o tbhe hands of the government, but it cannot bold out against Crespo. Foreigners out here are now in jeopardy. It may be impossible to control the murdei ously “inclined populace and ibe rufan! element of the soldiery. Americans may, however, feel somewhat secure as the Chi- cago is close in port with her guns headed and ready to protect Uncle Sam’s subjects, It may be locked upon as certain that ¢ ar- acas will suumit o Crespo, as it now reewms inevitable. Acting President Pulido was anxivus to have General lleasar Undaneta returu to the communa of the troops, which he in- tended should Crespo entsr Caracas, but Undaneta is a fugiuve and is between two fies, as on his return here he would have to deal not only with Crespo, but with Admiral Walker, and he is practically ab outlaw, Tobe's in Tow Tovias Castor of Lincoln, Nebraska's chin-whiskered member of the democratic pavonal committee, is in the oity con- forring with the anti-Boyd democrats as to the safest aud surest plan to pursue to kil the goveruor's pull with the npational committee, and to secure for himself and his confreres the handling of that portion of the national campaign fund that is desigoed for distribution in this state, PR— Bit by a Vicious Dog.
