With the 1ight and nolseless movement of a Sherlock Holmes, Mr. Bennett entered the egg room and climbed onto a shelf, from which he could observe, but not be observed. For four long hours he remained in the un- comfortable berth and observed. H. D. Rogers, the egg candler, was busy. As he squinted through egg after egg and Jald each one carefully back into the “'good" case, Bennett observed “There'll be no chickens horn day. How do I know it?

Bennett could not hear what was sald, but he guessed right the very firs time “That fellow,” said the dotective to him- welf, “asked Rogers if there was anything doing.

He entered the cage leading to the captain’s office and spoke ly to two or three officers sitting in room. Suddenly he gave expression to a sharp cry and lurched forward, falling upon the floor. Low moans escaped his lips for sev- I moments. His prostrate body was litted to a table by Captain ller and Pa- trol Conductor Vanous. Artificial means of respiration were employed, but to no avail.

Two bright, studious lads are bereft of paternal guardianship by the death of Judge Learn, who was a widower. Willle and Leslie Learn were the pride of thelr tather's heart. He never tired talking of them. The relations between father and sons were ideal. The news of the sudden death of thelr father reached the Learn boys while they were in the classroom at the Farnam school. The grief of the lads was pitiable For a moment they scemed dazed. Another moment they gave way to a violent par oxysm of tears. Then both falnted. They were revived by the joint efforts of teacher ana scholars and hastened to the coroner's office. The features of their father's face were not distorted. The dead man bore the ppearance of one sleeping, the eyes being closed as if in repose. The little fellows were permitted to view their dead father for several minutes. When they came from the room they bravely struggled to restrain their emotion and seemed determined to bear up under the trylng ordeal like men of mature years. Judge Learn has made his home at 2815 Dewey avenue. For the present his boys will remain with the family of Charles Sullivan, who resides at that number.

As soon as news of the death reached members of the Elks® lodge preparations were made immediately for taking charge of the remains. Judg Learn was an enthusiastic member of that order. D. M. Vinsonhaler, exalted ruler of Omaha lodge, learned of tho of Judge Learn's mother and brother. The former resides in New York City and the | latter in Chicago. Both were notificd by telegraph of the death and instructions rel- ative to disposition of the remains were asked for. No reply had been received to the mes- sages last night. In case no request is received for the hody to be sent east in- terment will be made in Omaha. The Elks will have charge of the services and burial will be made from the lodge rooms in the Ware block. Death Enters Contest, There was a peculiar coincidence in the fact that Judge Learn’s death came on the eve of his yielding the police court bench to Judge Gordon, whom he succeeded by appolntment of the mayor and council sev- eral months agn, pending the investigation of impeachment charges against Judge Gor- don. Yesterday the forty days allowed by the state supreme court for the city to file a motion for rehearing expired Judge Learn came to Omaha from Kear- ney, where he served as police judge for several years. In the fall of 1900 he was elected as a justice of the peace in Omaha and was still acting in this capacity when | appointed to the police judgeship. At the time of his death he held both offices. Judge Learn was popular, having a re- markable capacity for making friends. He could tell a story with rare effect. When court had adjourned and he had laid aside his dignity it was a common thing to see him the center of an admiring crowd, re- lating anecdotes with careful attention to dialect and gesture. During his incumbency of the police court | bench Judge Learn succeeded in ridding that tribunal of the shyster lawyers who had infested it for years, preying upon un- fortunate prisoners and negotlating straw bonds. He worked in perfect harmony with the police department, with the result that crime in the city was reduced to a minl- mum. mary. The the whereabouts yor Moores’ Opinion, Mayor Moores wa officially s not prepared to state what effect the unexpected death of Judge Learn would have in the settle- ment of the police judge difficulty, “The news of Judge Learn’s death” said the mayor, “has come upon me like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. 1 have hardly been able to collect myself since receipt of the sad Intelligence. City Attorney Counell is in Lincoln today and I am trying to get him by tele- phone to find out the legal status of the matter in view of this unfortunate turn of affairs. Judge Learn expected to step down and out of the office when Judge Gordon should present the mandate of the supreme court. Providence has taken him from his post even before it was necessary for him to abandon it Whatever action may have been proposed relative to Judge Gordon's resumption of the bench will probably be taken, notwithstanding this sad termination of Judge Learn's promising career.' ‘Tin Eauy to Feel Good.

Syrian Swordsmen in a Duel, Last night pleasing diversion was af- | forded those who gathered in the theatorium by two Syrians of Omaha, Ablin brothers, expert swordsmen, who gave a spirited duel with short swords as their contribution to the pleasures of the evening and the pro- motion of the Auditorium project.

Gordon is the legal po lice judge of the city of Omaha. At last night's meeting of the city council he said he would take the bench today. This wiil make it possible for the mayor and council to bring impeachment charges against the Judge and such action will probably be taken tonight Tuesday evening the council took a re- cess until last night, at the suggestion of City Attorney W. J. Counell, who stated that he had important documents to sub mit. These documents are charges against Judge Gordon, which will be filed for the purpose of briuging him to trial before the council, the supreme court having in timated that the council has jurisdiction over his case. Connell Stands Ready. The failure of Judge Gordon to take his seat yesterday made it inadvisable to bring action against him last night. Therefore Mr. Connell did not file his charges, but advised that the council take a further recess unti! tonight In discussing the Gordon case before the ccuncll City Attorney W. J. Connell sald “Judge Gordon is the legal police judge of the city of Omaha. He was police judge beforo the death of William R. Learn, but the death of the acting judge removed all possible excuse for delay on Judge Go don's part in taking his seat on the bench When Jjudge Gordon appealed from the decision of the court which removed him from office he did not ask the supreme court for a writ of ouster. He brought actlon to have the decision of the lower court reversed. This was done and no turther move on the part of Judge Gordon was necessary to entitle him to his office, “Judge Gordon is authorized to perform the duties of police judge. No mandate from the supreme court is necessary (o reinstate him in his old position. He is police judge now as indisputably as le was before proceedings were begun against bim. If he fails to take his seat on the berch at once there will be a vacancy, which must be filled. T would advise that this body take a recess until tomorrow night to await developments and see what action Judge Gordon takes.” There was some objection to taking an- other recesss. Counclimen Zimman and Lobeck objected and said that a special meeting could be called without any trouble. They were outvoted, however, and the council will reconvene tonight at § o'clock. In Memory of Judge Learn, President Karr named Councilmen Has- call, Mount and Zimman as a committee to draft resolutions on the death of Judge Learn for presentation at the meeting this evening. Councilman Hascall introduced an nance which provides for the burying of all electric wires, with the exception of telephone, telegraph and street railway wires, in the territory bounded by Capitol avenue, Elghth, Eighteenth and Howard streets. The ordinance is blank in part, not having any time limit in which tb; work shall be completed.

Thompson against the Bank of Overton was on trial. The plain- tiff seeks to recover from the bank a sum of money which was admittedly drawn by the cashier in his capacity as a partner of the plaintiff. A few years ago G. S. Hardinger was cashier of the Bank of Overton and Henry of land near the town agrecmet was entered into Thompson and Hardinger by which Thompson was to supply the money re- quired in stocking the farm and Hardinger was to act as superintendent of the work. Thompson was to receive from the pro- ceeds of the business an amount equal to the sums advanced before any dividends were to be declared and then the partners were to share alike, According to the plaintiff's allegations he received no money from his investment but Hardinger sold to H. P. Stryker of Lexington all of the cattle on the farm for $5,000, recelving in payment drafts and credits, which he had cashed at the bank of which he was cashier. Thompson now brings sult against the Overton bank for the amount of the drafts, claiming that by reason of his former part- ner being cashier of the bank that institu- tion had notice of the trust resulting from the partnership agreement between Wheels!
