LINCOLN, Aug. 9.—(Special)—A curious conflict of official authority is brought to light in Lincoln by the attempt of Councilman Meyers to lay water mains in streets wherein Mayor Graham says no mains shall be latd. Henry Meyers, the councilman, is chairman of the water committee. He hires men to go to work and Mayor Graham sends policemen to the varlous places where attempts are being made to lay pipe, who stop operations. Meyers hires drays to cart the pipe around the city, and the mayor Informs the draymen that they will get no pay for their work, This morning fifteen or twenty men showed up at the pipe trenches to go to work, but policemen on the ground, acting under in- structions from the mayor, prevented them from doing so. Mayor Graham has vetoed the ordinance which authorized the laying of the mains, but Councilman Meyers does not appear to think that the veto cuts much of a figure. Meyers says he proposes to lay the mains if it costs him his official head. The mayor has called a special meeting of the council for tomorrow evening, to take some action on this bold attempt of Meyers to override the veto. It is said Mayor Gra- ham may effect a compromise with the recal- citrant councilman. By others it is claimed he will request his resignations as chairman of the water committee.

HAS NOT %ET RECEIVED THE WARRANT alsing Board Withheld by Auditor Moore Pending the Set- tlement of the Suit Against €. W. Mosher. LINCOLN, Aug. 9.—(Special)—Contractor H. Dorgan is packing up his household goods at the penitentiary, and preparing to move out. He is doing so, however, with- out having recelved his warrant for $3,- 408.90, nor is there any immediate prospect of his getting it. Today State Auditor Moore gave him a warrant for ${00.37. This rep- resents the difference between Dorgan's claim for eight days' m tenance of prigoners, $047.20 and the $546.83 which the Board of Public ILands and Bulldings charge him for depreciation of vroperty since the work of the appraisers was complewed at the pen- itentiary. Auditor Moore for The Bee: * said W today to a reporter very much surprised at the statements made in the World-Herald this morning concerning the status of the penitentiary matter. The greater portion of the alleged information in the article was untrue. 1 have not turned over to Dorgan his warrant, nor do I intend to do so under existing conditions. It is asserted that there is a plan to give me an indemnifying bond in | exchange for the warrant. I have heard of no such scheme, mor has it as yet been suggested o me. There fs also something hinted about giving Dorgan his warrant long enough for him to have it registered, 0 that it will draw interest, and then hand- ing it back to me for security. That Is news to me, also. I cannot conceive why such an article, so barren of facts, should have been written in regard to what I may or may not do. I am now, and always have been, ready to turn over thls warrant whenever Dorgan was ready to fully secure me against a possible loss. So far he has never offered to do so. It Is true, however, that the state will today take charge of the penitentiary. Dorgan has his voucher, ap- proved by the Board of Public Lands and Buildings, but that he bas had for some time SUPPLIES ARE RUNNING SHORT. Warden Leidigh was up from the pen- Itentlary today, and had an interview with the Board of Public Lands and Buildings. He made temporary arrangements whereby the prisoners could be fed, but it is not definitely known what will be the permanent disposition of the matter. Since the ap- praisment of his property, Dorgan has ex- pended almost nothing at all beyond food for the convicts. Their clotntng Is in rags, and all the supplies have run down to a very low ebb. To continue In the business Dorgan would be obliged to expend considerabls money in replenishing the stock. This he does ‘not seem inclined to do. It Is quite evident that Dorgan feels himself perfectly secure with the act of the legislature, the work of the appraisers and _the voucher for $33,408.90 back of him. The only draw- back s the fact that the warrant Is not drawing Interest and cannot until it is reg- istered. It was clalmed by Warden Leldigh and others that with the abdication of Dorgan his_voucher would draw interest at the rate of 5 per cent. This statement is denied in the state auditor’s office. Deputy Auditor Hedlund says that the state never pays in- terest until a warrant is duly registered. Dorgan's warrant, as yet, has never been drawn. Governor Holcomb has received a letter from T. E. Daniels, Chicago, inviting him to name five delegates, two ladies and thres gentlemen, to the third annual meeting of the Walfs' Saving asociation at Detroft, August 29.

LINCOLN, Aug. 9.—(Special Telegram.)— Returns from the republican primaries of the seven wards of the city of Lincoln are in, and some of the numerous candidates for county offices are badly left.

Cornish, candidate for dis- trict judge, and the Second by J. L. Caldwell, for the same offic There was practically no fight in the First, Second, Third and Seventh. John B.

Oleson claimed that the cattle belonged to another man named Fuller, whom he represented, and who would call the fol- lowing Monday for the money. Monday a well dressed man called and demanded pay- ment, which was refused until such time he should be identified, and it was ar- ranged that he should call Tuesday with the necessary voucher. Monday afternoon Sherift Losey telephoned Sheriff Ackerman of this county the circumstances and that the cattle evidently came from this county. Sherift Ackerman 1 an an immediate investigation and ascertained that the eattle described were taken from the pastures of the Wishard ranch, and telephoned Sherift Losey th fact. ‘Both men were found at arrested.

So Is Cora Swanson, somewhat older, of Swedish birth. The parents of the young man think that they have reason to believe that the absence of the two at the same time is more than a coincidence. In fact, they have no doubt that the young man was enticed from home by the young woman, end last night they visited the police statfon to see If there was any way in which the young man could be brought back. It appears that after a few hours acquaint- ance Nelson and Cora became infatuated with each other. The infatuation seemed to be especially on Cora's part, for she wooed the young man very industriously, despite thes protestations of Nelson's parents. The parents are now firmly of the opinion that Cora eloped with John. The girl received an amount of money from Sweden some time ago, and determined to return to her native country. She left sev- eral days ago, and very shortly after Nelson also left, but without word. It is said that he took no money with him, except what he g0t by pawning a $100 gold watch. Since then no trace of either has been discovered. ‘The parents wished tha local police to tele- graph about the country asking the authori- ties to intercept the fugitives, but they could not be accommodated, as Nelson has com- mitted no crime. They sent a telegram to the superintendent of police in New York, however, asking him to hold Nelson. They belleve that as he is under age and has been carried off by a designing villianess Le can be held. —— VICTORIOUS HOUR FOR SULLIVAN, Last Day om Chain Gang Was With- out Work. Pat Sullivan was arrested several days ago | for a minor offense and was sentenced to the | chain gang. He worked faithfully until yes- | terday, the last day of his sentence, when he | made up his mind that he would work no | more. Consequently when Le was taken out | in the morning he sat down on the curb- | stone and watched the other prisoners work | until noon, and none of the words of the fore- | man of the gang moved him. The foreman determined (o fix him In the afternoon, and when the gang was taken out after dinner he took along a chain with a big iron ball at the end of it. This he fastened on Sullivan's legs. But this never phased Sul- livan. He sat down on the ball and sat there the whole afternoon, never budging an inch, When the day was ended the foreman ordered Sullivan to.go to tha station. Sullivan re- fused. Ho said he'd stay where he was all year before he would move the ball an inch, The upshot of it was that the patrol wagon was called and Sullivan and the ball were | hauled to the patrol barn. Then a new diffi- culty arose. Sullivan refused to carry the ball into the station. The foreman expostu- lated, but with no avail. A patrolman fol- lowed, then a sergeant, and finally the cap- taln, 'Threats were alike useless, and at last a policoman was detailed to carry the ball while Sullivan limped into the station, After Sullivan signed for the articles that had been taken from him at the time of his arrest, he walked out of the station with the light of victory glowing on his countenance.
