INTERVENORS IN CANAL CASE They Propose to Be Heard in Bupreme Court. HAVE FILED A VOLUMINOUS BRIEF Not Willing to Be Put Out of the Con- troversy by the Lower Court ~Contention Made by Them. ‘Another move has been made in what is %known as the Douglas county canal case fhe Intervening property owners of Omaha, who were barred out finally by the bane ot district judges from farther participation in the suit, have made their appearance in supreme court. They come to the surfacs in this new arena with a voluminous brict, which their attorneys have just prepared in support of tho separate writ of error they have sued out. The canal mandamus sult was filed by D. C. Patterson on May 2 last. After it had been fairly started, Guy C. Barton, John A. Crelghton, Willlam A. Paxton, Charles W. Lyman, Alfrel Millard, John A. Horbich James B. Kitchen, Joseph H. Mil'ard, Andrew J. Poppleton, Henry W. Yates and Curtis W Turner, citlzens and taxpayers of Doug county, appeared in the distriet court and asked the privilege of intervening for the purpose of making a vigorous fight to op- poss the construction of a caval. It was not without encountering many difficultics that on May 29 the Intervenors were allowed to remain In court. Nelther side seemed will ing to concede an inch. Arguments were made and the case taken under advisement until June 9, when the cise was decided in avor of the canal project. The venors were dismissed from the sult, It 1s from this order putting them out of the case that the intervenors appealed to the supreme court, The written arguments which Messrs. Offutt and Poppleton have filed in behalf of their clients in the appeal case are advanced for the purpose of siowing that after once having besn admitted (o the c the intervenors had a right to remain there and should not have been dismissed. After dilating on this proposition the Intervenors assail the canal law on the same ground as that taken before the district bench, though they go much more Into details. In addition to tife alleged unconstitution- ality of the act the position is taken that the petition addressed to the county com- missioners, signed by 2,500 voters and more 15 wholly defective, in that a route the pro posed canal shonld follow is deseribed in the prayor of the petition. It is also contended that the county board, having refused to call an election cannot be compelled by man- damus to do %0, as its action was a matter of discretion When the canal case Is before the supreme court these intervenors will claim a right to be heard when the arguments of the canal promoters are made. IMITATING A STORY Nellle SIRL. Kunts Criex Wh Officer Ryan yesterday afterncon arrested a girl who gave her name as Nellie Kuntz, but who in the same breath said that it was not her right name, on tho charge of shop- lifting. She was caught while in the act of carrying off a roll of silk valued at $50 in Hayden Bros’ store and admitted that she intended to steal it. According to her own statements, the girl has started out with the intention of becom- ing an expert shoplifter. She said that some time ago she read a story in which a female shoplifter figured as the heroine. The w man made a business of stealing from stor until she accumulated several carloads. Then she went into the country and sold them to the farmers. In this way she made a snug fortune. Nellie went on the theory that what woman has done woman can do, and started in the footsteps of her heroine. She said that she had done some shoplifting in various stores in the city before, and that in a trunk in her room at Twenty-fourth and M streets, In South Omaha, she had several bolts of silks sccreted which she had stolen. Detectives made a visit to her home, and this portior of her story was verified. Four large pl: of silk were found and taken to the police station, where they are awaiting identific tion. The girl is not more than 18 years of age and s prepossessing in appearance. She ap- peared to be very sorry that she entered on the career of a shoplifter and spent several hours afer her arrest in weeping. Later In tho night the girl said that her name was Mollis Maulbetsch and that her home was in Baraboo, Wis., and showed let- ters to support this statement. She stated that her parents lived there and that she hsd Ieft home some time ago, going to Chicago, Sioux City, Des Moines and finally to this city. She’ denied that she had done any hoplifting at any other point, although she was unable to explain -very satisfactorily how she became possssed of a large quan- tity of fine clothing that was found in her trunk. The police are inclined to think that although sho is very young she is a crim- nal. FAIR AND § lifting and ASSOCIATIO Thanks Extended to All Who Jubllee Day a Success. A meeting of the Omaha Fair and Speed association was held at the Commercial club Tooms last evening. It was expected that the Jubilee day committee would report on attendance at the fair grounds on Jubilee day and the sale of tickets, but it was learned that this committce would not be ready to report until tomorrow.

In reference to the wound on Simpson's head County Attorney Lefler insisted that exomination be made by physiclans. Attor- neys for the defense advised Simpson not to submit to an exunination and then the county attorney stated that it the prisoner refused ha would use force in making the examination. Simpson was taken into a pri- vate room and the wound, which he says was made by a pop bottle, examined. The doc- tors refuse to state what conclusion they ar- rived at and say they will not untl the trial comes on and they are called as witnesses.

Both Murphy and his bar tender state that there was no disturbance in the place Wednesday night and that they do not know Simpson. Ever since the McCarty-Case assault Chief Brennan has tried ‘to- keep the condition of the revolvers found on Vie McCarty and Tom Gallagher a secret. When questioned by a reportor Brennan said that he would turn the revolvers over to the sherift of Sarpy county, but he positively refused to tell whether any of the chambers In the revolvers were empty. The revolver found on Vic McCarty was a t4-caliber and only two loaded shells were in it when Vie was searched at the city jail. In Tom Gallagher's revolver there was one empty shell. e Hox Hospital donations for the month of August, 1895, were: Mrs, J. M. Tanner, coffee pot and food basin; Mrs, H. H. Ames, lamp; Mrs. T. H.

There was a meeting of the Sixth Ward Republican club at Twenty-fourth and Ohio streets last night, at which many of the mul- titude of candidates for offices were given a chance to announce themselves. Among those who availed themselves of the opportunity were Justice Wileox, Judge Fawestt, Yates, Zimmerman, H. K. Burket, J. A. Powers, Dailey and Dorsey Houck. Other speakers were Lawyer Pratt and John Butler. Most of the speakers seemed to avoid local questions and spent their time in telling what good republicans they were and why they were fn the party. Those who talked about the coming campaign said that they would have to “‘work together, pull together and love each other,” as Powers put i, to defeat the citizens' movement, which they sald was growing steadily. The meeting unanimously adopted a resolu- tlon not to hold a caucus this fall, but instead to hold & ward meeting.

While all small fruits do splendidly in this fertile region still there Is one among all others for which our land is pre-emi- nently famous. Thousands of acres are de- voted to its cultivation, and the strawberry is now shipped not by the dozen crates or by the carload alone, but by speclal train- loads. In fact more strawberriee are grown, shipped and sold in the Orchard Homes re- gion, than on any other equal area in the world., In this reglon there is no trouble with the “crown-borer,” which destroys the plants in Tilinois and Missourl when only two years old, and strawberry fields from five to ten years old are not uncommon. There I no trouble with the “rust” and “blight" which are so common in northern fields, and our plants never suffer from the cold of winter and are wonderfully productive! Some fields have been known to yield as much as 100 crates annually for many years, with no cultivation whatever beyond the mowing of & heavy crop of hay in the late summer, while with propper care and cultivation a yield of 100 bushels per acre is not uncommon. First shipments. are us ally made in March, and the fruit continues to ripen in quantity until June, while oe- caslonal pickings are often found much later In the season. Dr. McKay, the largest grow- er in the state, says he has shippsd straw- berries to the Chicago market during every month of the year. All kinds of early veg- etables are just as profitable to the grower, and all further information as to Orchard Homes will be given on application to Geo. W. Ames, General Agent, 1617 Farnam street, Omaha, Neb. Apprecinte FOR THROW Mrs. Kaspakik Jall for g Mrs. Lamick, Richard Lamick, living at Twenty-fourth street and the Union Pacific tracks, was in police court yesterday and filed a com- plaint against Mrs. Haddin Kasptkik, charg- ing assault with a deadly weapon with the intent to do great bodily harm. The families are neighbors and for some time there has been trouble between them on account of a property line that runs between their houses. The Kasptkiks have at different times built a'fence on what they claim is the di- viding line. The Lamicks raised violent ob- Jections, saying that the building of the fence ‘was an encroachment on their land, and sev- eral times have torn the fence down. Fri- day the fence was again erected, much to tho annoyance of the Lamicks, and at 9:30 o'clock yesterday morning Richard La- mick went out and proceeded to demolish the partition. His mother was standing - some little distance behind him, while he was making the lumber fly in all directions. Mrs Kasptkik ran out of her house and, picking up a brick bat, hurled it at Mrs. Lamick, striking her on the left side of the head. She fell to the ground unconscious. The neighbor woman threw another missile of the same kind and barely missed the head of a hired hand who was standing near by. The wounded woman was carried into the housé, bleeding from an ugly gash across the ear and temple. A phy- slelan was called and dressed the wound.

The average blue-jacket, as I knew him long ago, says a writer in the North Amer- fcan Review, was always a good fellow, but you seldom knew where to have him. He was unquestionably a drunken fellow, and he used to manage to get dead drunk faster than any other class of men with whom I have been acquainted. He was not steady. Apart from his officer he seemed almost a reed shaken with the wind, though his personal courage was always lionlike when roused. He was proud of his officer, es- peclally if the officer was hard on him. He was somewhat of a fatalist, quick to imag- ine that fate was against him and to up the struggle against it. He quarr some In his cups, but almost always dis- tinctly witty out of them. He preserves his humor to the present day.

Warrants are oWt for ten of the most prominent merchants I the city and three of them have already been arrested. The thing started with the rrest of three men, Jenkins, Moore and Ulores. About five weeks ago these mell Were arrested for set- ting fire to the wholesale stationery store of Boyd, Gillis & Co. Boyd, the senior member, suddenly left for Edrops, and when Clores, after his arrest, tufmed queen's evidence it was found that Boyd was connected with the scheme, approved of it and procured part of the receipts which the insurance adjuster awarded as damages. The evidence showed that there was & widespread conspiracy which had ramifications in the states and al through Cay It was found that the conspirators were In the habit of setting fire to the places by means of a_clockwork arrangement. This was made of an alarm clock with the bel taken off. On top was a thin glass bowl of sulphuric acid and below it a_bowl contain- ing methlylated spirits. When the hour came for the clock to strike the alarm the hammer broke the glass bowl and as the acid was precipitated into the spirits the combination burst out in flames, Mr. J. F. Quinn, crown prosecutor, went to New York to Inquire into the United States end of the conspiracy. Ten warrants were sworn out. These were for Willlam Thomas, John Belsser, Castle, Sasseville, R'chards, Da. genas, Davis, all furriers, and Beilaus & Loewenthal, wholesale clothiers. A small army of detectives were sent out, but up to this time only three were arrestel. The total amount of the peculations is said to be about $1,000,000. The arrests have createl a sensa- tion. KE SMITH. n Agents WASHINGTON, Sept. 7.—(Special Telo-{ gram.)—It has been necessary for Indian In- spector James MeLaughlin to refer to the sec- retary of the interior his partially completed roll of Sisseton Indians, who should receive the sum of $49,066.64, which was appropriated by the last congress to compensate the In- dians who assisted in suppressing the Sioux outbreak of 1862, and who were not parties to the agreement made in 1889 by which a portion of the lands were ceded by the Sisse- ton tribes to the government. All the In- ians of this tribe who left Sisseton reserva- tion before that agreement was made cannot under this new law receive payment. In the opinion of officials of the Indian office this is unjust, and they do not think that it was the intention of congress to make such a pro- vision. A number_of young Indians, descend- ants of former scouts, should receive com- pensation, but cannot because they remained on the reservation and were parties to the 1839 agreement. The same law provided toat the regular annuities should be paid only to those on Sisseton reservation. In the lan- guage of one of the officials, it is “‘taxing a few of the Indians for their ambition in striking out for themselves.” A number of delicate legal questions have arisen and been sent to the secretary’s office for an opinion. According to provisions of law a number of names will have to be stricken from Me- Laughlin’s report, afthough the Indians should really receive the money, It is likely that a reply will be received from the department on Monday next, but it’is possib'e that the Department of Justice may be called upon for an opinion.

They are feeling so confi- dent that they will have a great amount of business to handle that a strong effort will probably be made in the near future to re- vive the Western Irunk Line committee, which went to pieces a short time ago. The committee was allowed to lapse because the volume of business was so light that some of the roads would not put themselves in a position where they were likely to be de- barred from making an effort to secure as much of it as possible. When in a com- mittee agreement they would be compelled to take whatever percentage the agreement allowed to them, and this they were not willing to do. Now the amount of trgfiic in sight Is so large that there is a disposition to revive the committee and prevent the rates from going to a point where the roads will be likely to lose the best opportunity they have had for many a month to recoup themselves for the reduced earnings they have faced so long. A circular looking to the revival of the committee has been in circulation among the western roads for some time. It has received so many signatures that there is a strong probability that a formal meeting will be called at a gearby n R. the committee on its feet once more, —_——— BY A WRECKED Memphis Train Crashes Th Bridge nto n Creek, TOPEKA, Kan., Sept. 7.—A special to the Capital from Fort Scott say: The Memphis passenger train on the Cherryvale division, which left this city this evening, was wrecked near Monmouth, Ka about 5:30 this afternoon, and although the railroad officials are very reticent and it Is almost impossible to secure the facts, it Is known that a pumber of people are severely injured, among them being Conductor George Emerson, who was in charge of the train, The accident was caused by the breaking of an axle in the smoking car, which let the car down. The car struck the iron bridge spanning Lightning creek. The bridge was knocked from the bridge seat and the entire train, with the - exception of the engin plunged to the bottom of the river, twent two feet below.

Need, who lives at 501 South Thire teenth street, was considerably excited when he rushed into the police station last night and reported that Mrs. L. Wirth, his mother- in-law, had lost a small valise, containing a draft for $1,000 and §700 in currency, and also a hand satchel containing $62. A big burden had evidently been lifted off his mind when he came in again an hour later and sald that the valise had been found, although the satchel was still missing. Mre. Wirth has lived in Sioux City, but came to Omaha last night with her son-in- law. She had a large number of bundles in addition to the valise and satchel when she left the train at Council Blufts and boarded a motor for Omaha, but thought she had taken everything with her.
