Evans is secretary of the Omaha Co-operative assoclation, which is incorpor- ated under the laws of Nebraska and busines at 1508 Dodge street. Since Sep- tember 14 the mail addressed to this associa- tion has been held by the Omaha postoffice, and Evans says that his business has suffered #erious interruptions thereby. On the date heretofore mentioned Post- master Martin recelved the following tele- gram: “‘Hold all mail for Omaha Co-opera- tive association and officers. Fraud order follows. JOHN L. THOMA; Aesistant Attorney Postoffice Department. Then Evans ived a letter from Post- master Martin asking him to call and re- ceive an explanation. Evans says he wanted to know why his mall should be so suddenly stopped, so he went to the postmaster’s office, hoping to recelve the desired information. All that was shown him was the telegram, and beyond this Postmaster Martin bad nothing to say. The next move by Evans, who torney ‘Thomas, was held. sage was received “Stopped because It operates vestment scheme which is a lottery. cxplanation have you to make?" Evans replied that the organization operated nothing of the kind, and asked Mr. Thomas where he secured such information. A reply to this denial and query by Evans has yet to be received. On September 16 the local postmaster was instructed by Mr. Thomas to return all mail addressed to the organi tion after having marked on the envelopes in plain letters the word ““Fraudulent.” Evans when seen yesterday sald that he was positive that the officlals who had issued the order to hold his mail were acting from malice. He sai “Last June the government failed in its attempt to show cause for holding back the mail of the People’s Investment company, of which I was the secretary. The case was com- promised, and ever since that time the offi- cials at Washington have been eagerly await- ing an opportunity to square accounts with m does in the matter was telegraphed Assistant asking him why his To this query the following mads At- mail nes- a bond ir What bout a fortnight ago the firm of Henry Wichert of Chicago sent a consignment of pickles to our house. The other day a repre- sentative of the firm was in town and calied at the store to ask us how we liked the pickles. We replied that we had recelved no plekles nor any notice of them. Wich- ert’s representative went to the postoffice and secu the notice, at the me time registering vigorous kick again: the In- terference their business by postal authorities. “I am also secretary of a local beneficlary lodge. During the week a member mailad me a money order in payment of an assess. ment. Postmaster Martin refused to the order, and it took considerable time and trouble (0 untangle the matter. “The proper course for the government authorities to pursue is to have me indicted for using the mail for fraudulent purposes. Such action would secure me a trial by jury and give me an opportunity to establish my intocence. 1 have serious doubts whether such an indictment will take place, as I think that the postoffice department reatizes it would have a hard time in proving the charges against me, and would only render themselves liable for damages.” Postmaster Martin is out of town, sistant Postmaster Woodward sald that thought Evans’ mail would be delivered to him within a few days. He thought the whole trouble arose from coufusing the two organizations of which Evans is secretary and felt sure that the United States attorney was now convinced that there was no fraud about the Omaha Co-operative association. In reply to this statement, Evans said L am tired of hearing that my mail is going to be delivered to me within a few days 1 have listened to similar assurances for over a week, and have yet to see the first Indication upon the part of the postal au thorities that they are going to cease this abuse. I wish the department would indict me, or do something to bring the question to an issue, for 1 am heartily tired of hay- Ing my mail held back, all the while being promised that the error will be ecorrected in a short time.” Yesterday the postal authoritles con- cluded to deliver Mr. Evans' mall.

Fall day. & S TRIED TO CUT OFF n. Stranger Prefers Than Going to ar of imprisonment led J. C. Catron to make an almost successful attempt to com- mit suicide in the office of the chief of po lice at 1:30 yesterday afternoon. He dashed a pen knife into his throat and was scarching for the jugular vein when he was disarmed by Chief Sigwart and Officer Shoup. Catron was arrested in the afternoon as a fugitive from justice. A couple of days ago Chief Sigwart received a letter from G. W. Johns of Mapleton, Ia., asking him to look out for Catron, who was wanted there for larceny. In looking over the pawn shop re- ports in the morning, it appeared that a man by that name had pawned a plain gold ring at Fred Mohle's place. Officer Shoup was sent out and found his man. Catron was taken to the chiel's office, and it was found that he answered the descrip- tion of the Catron who was wanted. Chict Sigwart began to question him when he sud denly produced the knife and cut his throat before any one could reach him. He buriel the blade in the left side of his neck, and was sawing away with apparent indifference to pain when the weapon was taken out of his hand. A doctor was called in and he found a gash about two inches long and fully an inch deep. Luckily no large artery had been touched His wound will not prove fatal, but Catron will be laid up for several days. He was taken to the city jail, much to the disgust of a woman who accompanied him when h was arrested, and who is presumed to be his wife. Veither Catron nor the woman would say anything about themselves. The woman simply wept with fright, while Catron coolly remarked that if he had had a beiter knife he would have been more successful. H had four or five siiver dollars in his pocke and said that he wanted to send a message to his brother. He refused to give his brother's name or address. When he pawned the ring he gave his address as 117 South Seventesnth sircet. The address indi cated is that of a musical Instrument es- tablishment. There is a letter there for him postmarked St. Louis, but the people gbout the store say they have never seen the man. IRS MEET.

They took it upon themselves to discharge the entire street force, with the exception of the blue barrel men and the sidewalk gang. They delegated to the chairman of the board the exclusive supervision of the ov:rseer of city prisoners, who have hertofore been under the direction of the wireet department As a preliminary Chairman Munro duced the resolution which directed chairman to take charge of and | orders n to the overseer | prisoners and wh called on the not to recognize any orders except came from the chzirman of the board. This was adopted, as was aiso the following reso lution, which was also introduced by Munro solved, By the Board of Public Works, that for the becefit of the public service the services of the following named persons in the employ of the street department be and the same are hereby dispensed with for an indefinite period, and that they shall not be again employed in that de- partment_except upon he concurrence of this board: J.

That the heads of one department should openly assume the | management of another department to the | exclusion of the properly appointed| and acting head of that department is altogether unprecedented WANT MEN THEY CAN CONTROL. It Is an cpen secret that this radical action of the majority of the board was taken with 1o other intent than to bring the street de. partment into the hands of the dark lantern fraternity before election. It is in line with the previous policy of the two members in | attempting to cripple the street department | by refusing to pass the pay roll and thus holding laboring men out of their wage: when many of them were suffering for the necessities of life It will be remembered that Sewer Commissioner. Winspear made every man in the street dspartment come up to the office of the board in the city hall and the pay roll in person. In this manner Win spear obtained a list of all the employes in the street department, together with their aces of residence. This list has been care fully scanned, and by the action of yesterday such of thesé men as are not in sympathy with the American Protective association were discharged without any given cause. Section 104 of the city charter expressly de- clares that the employment and removal of all employes in the street department shall bo in the hands of the streat commissioner Speaking of the ‘duties of the street commis sioner, the charter says: “‘He shall appoin all inspectors and employes in his depa ment, subject to the approval of the Board o Fublic Works, 1o the extent and limit that the funds provided by: the mayor-and coun for that purpose will allow. ~He’ shall have rower to dismiss all ispectors in his depart ment, subject to the approval of the Board of Public Works, and shall also have power tc dismiss all other employes under his super vision, when in his judgment their services shall be no longer required, or for other good \d sufficient reasons. The board shall alsc ve power to dismiss any inspector or em ploye in said department when in the judg ment of said board their services shall n longer be required, or for other good and sufficient reasons.” VIOLATION Under the chart appointed general in the street depart- er day. at that time O CHARTER he majority of the board claims a righ dismiss employes of the street department, but the appointment of Kent as foreman is entirely without warrant of law. Some very peculiar reasons were as ned by Munro and Winspear for their ac tion, Mr. Winspear said: “Well, the fact | Browne has been nretty gay for some time. Mr. Munro had reascns for wanting him re moved which I don't know much about. 1 believe he refused to turn over the keys of the tool houss to any one but Kaspar. As far as the rest of them are concerncd, we mad up our minds that they had been the payoll long enough, and, besides, we wanted to put some other men on. Street Commissioner Kaspar had but little to say. He took the ground that the majority { of the board had assumed functions which the charter vested exclusively in himself, bu: had not decided what action he would take For one thing, however, he would not con- sent to the appointment of Josiah Kent as foreman at $3 per day. Mr. Browne had been getting $2.50 per day, and his services were entirely satisfactory. Just before the -fair Mr. Kaspar said that he had put on an extra force in the street department in order to get the streets in good condition for that event. At that time he had put Kent on at the earnest solicitation of Chairman Munro. During the fair he had laid off the whole force, and since then he had put on a small force, consisting of the men who had been Qischarged. Kent was not among these, and the board had acted illegally in appointing him es foreman Foreman J. H. Browne said thit the news of his dismissal was a great surprise to him. He had never come into conflict with Chair- man Munro as far as he knew, and there was no reason for his discharge outside of the evident desire of Munro and Winspear to get control of the street department for their own purposes. e Marring censes. following marriage sued by the county judge yesterday: Name and Address Fred 8.
