WILL LIST SECURITIES OF THE RICH Tremont Citizens Interested In the Subject and Will See that More Atten- tion 1s Pald to it m Future. FREMONT, March 29.—(Speclal to The Bee)—The resolution by the Central Labor unlon of Omaha insisting that local asses- sors be compelled to assess property moro as contemplated by statutes is freely com- mented on here, and the general sentiment 1s that it is a movement in the right direc- tion, and somo action is talked of looking to the same end here. The assessors claim that they cannot go over the records of chattel mortgages and other securities to make up thelr assessment rolls without in- structions to that effect from the county attorney, as it has never been practiced here. Instructions in the premises are likely to be forthcoming. The poorer class of people in the city who pay taxes on their mortgaged homes and personal property can see mo consistency in excusing from their proper and legitimate share of the burdens of taxation those who loan them the money at from 2 to 6 per cent per month. George Forney, the assessor-elect of this city, is at present quite sick, but ho threat- ens to depart somewhat from the beaten path hitherto followed in this city and do his best to bring the shirks and sneaks into the harness. Young Thioves Captured. WAUNETA, Neb., March 20.—(Speclal to The Bee)—During the past few days a number of boys from 10 to 14 years old have been arrested here charged with lar- Teny. For some months past the mill firm of Fisher & Knot have been missing small sums of money from the office desk, and they concluded to place a watch in such a position as to detect the party if possible in the act. A hole was bored in the ceil- ing over the office and parties stationed in the second story to keep a look-out, the result being that a boy was seen to pen the money drawer and take out a sil- ver dollar left purposely for him. His arrest developed the fact that among the boys of his age there was an organized band, sworn to secrecy, who were to steal any money they could find and divide it among themsely They were brought before Justice Pence and after being closely ques- tioned were severely reprimanded by the court and then discharged. Thelr parents aro among the most respected citizens of the town. Slow Work iu the Shultz Case. ST.

Rallroad Company Quarrels with the State of Nebraskn Over the Question. LINCOLN, March 29.—(Speclal to The Bee.)—The state of Nebraska is made de- fendant in a case filed In the supreme court this afternoon, entitled the Yankton, Norfolk & Southwestern Railway company \against the state of Nebraska, J. F. Smith, C. D. Jenal, Antone Bushelman and E. T. Johnson. The railroad company in question was in- corporated for the purpose of constructing a raflroad from Yankton, 8. D., to Norfolk. Its proposed route passed over a large num- ber of pleces of school land belonglng to the state of Nebraska, and on September 19, 1892, the company requested the board of supervisors of Knox county to appoint ap- praisers, according to law. The request was complied with, and the appraisers decided that the state of Nebraska was entitled to $2,045.70. The other parties included in the defense intervened and claimed additional damages. The case went Into the dictrict court. The court instructed the jury that inasmuch as the other parties to the suit had presented no evidence to show that they were entitled to damages, their verdict would, therefore, be for the state. The jury scaled the appraisement from the amount first fixed to $1,630.57, and taxed the costs, amounting to $305, to the railroad company. The jury also found that Smith, Jenal, Bush- elman and Johnson were holding said land under lease, and decided that the damages assessed should be divided among them. The railroad company appeals. 3 GOSSIP AT THE STATE HOUSE. The State Banking board today issued a certificate entitling the Dewitt Building and Loan association to commenco business.

These men sold tickets for a ball that was never held, getting the sum of $1 for each ticket sold. After laving worked the town they fled to other fields, but were brought back and placed in jail, after which they were charged with being swindler; Yesterday when they were brought before the criminal court it was discovered that they were being held on a warrant that bore the date, April 20, 1894, That date not having arrived, their attorney moved for their discharge, on the ground that they had not been legally arrested. The court decided that the war- rant was not sufficlent. The next moment the two men were ordered into the custody of the sheriff there to remain until the county attorney could flle a new warrant, one that would hold water, Tinctured with Usury. Sadie E.

As soon as the jurors were called to the box the attorney representing the prisoners called the attention of the court to the fact that the Justice berore whom the preliminary examination was held had never certified his record to the district court. He ralsed the question of jurisdiction, claiming that as the record had not been certified the court had no power to hear the case. This was the first that the county attorney knew of the defects in the papers, and he was all at sea. Not being prepared to pass upon the ques- tion, the court beld his opinion until today, remanding the prisoners to jall, Probate Matters. Helen R. Clark, widow of the late Hugh G.

It states that “Miss Bedal,” the young lady in question, “attended Brownell Hall in Omaha, and has on one or two previous occasions attempted to elope, but was in each in- stance prevented from doing so by bher parents,’" Three years ago, in the spring of 1891, Nellle Bedal of Biair attended school here for a period of four months and a half. person of that name has been in Brownell Hall since. Miss Bodal was then 14 years old. We have never heard of any at- tempted elopements by her, either then or since, except the allegations in your paper. At all events Brownell Hall has no connec tion, either Immediate or re 2, with all or any of them.
