VETO STILL HOLDS 00D Mayor's Opposition to Cenfesion of Judg- ment Btill Btanda [CITY ATTORNEY'S OPINION AWAITED | Matter Passed Over Another ¥ Counell Until Meeting—=Likely to Be Carried Into the Courts, | Mayor Jennings |action in inst veto of the city council’s cting the city attorney to confess Judgment in the Lock personal | Injury damage suit etill holde good No action was taken by the aldermen at the special meeting last night to override it, and they adjourned without attempting to pass the motion over the veto |, On the meeting belng called to order and its purpose explained by Mayor Jennings, Alderman Clark started the ball rolling by stating that for one he was not willing to 0 inio the matter uutil he could secure the opinlon of the city attorney as to the valldity of the mayor's veto. The mayor suggested that the veto had better be read anyhow and thie brought Brown to his feet with the remark that it was unneces- sary to take up the time of the couneil with reading it, as they had all heard It read at the former meeting and they had also read it in the newspapers. The was read, however, and then Clark objected to the wording of it on the grounds that the mayor termed the action of the council as a resolution, whercas in fact it was merely a verbal motion accord- ing to his (Clark's) opinion. This brought on a general discussion among the alder- men who had voted for the settlement as to the legal points invelved, which was In- by or Jennings stating that he had looked the matter up and was satls- fled that he had the power to exerclse the right of veto in this case, as the action of the councll being on report of the com- mitteee of the whole was nothing more or less than a resolutien. 14 Alderman Clark “Then in that case the m would have the right to override the majority of the councll at any time, Mayor Jennings: the right to one before veto “I belleva I have veto In any such case as thls us now.’ Conslders It a Dusiness Matter, Alderman McDonald said he falled to see ! what effect the opinion of the city attorney could have in the matter. If the mayor's veto was valid it was valld and it it was i He did not, he sald, | consider it a question of law but one of business. For his part he would sustain the veto of the mayor by his vote. Mac- donald then referred to the Mikesell set- tlement, in which he asserted the council had been misled and referred in particular to the physiclan’s certificate, which showed that Mrs. Mikesell had died from heart failure. Alderman Clark suggested that action on the veto bo postponed until next Monday night. as the settlement of the Lock case had been ordered entirely on the advice and suggestion of the city eolicitor. During this part of the discussion It was stated that the judgment in the Lock case had been asslgned to Harriett L. Lindt, a relative of the attorney for the claimant. Alderman Lougee took the same position as did Macdonald and sald he did not see what difference it would make it the clty attorney was there or not. If the veto was valld the payment of the judgment had been stopped, it the vefo was not legal then the judgment had been stopped, it the veto was not legal then the judgment stood as it did before Mayor Jennings handed down his veto and no harm had been done anyhody Macdonald stated that he had eminent legal advice to the effect that the action of the councll ordering this confession of judgment against the city could not have become operative until the time for the mayor to veto It, if he felt so disposed, had expired. Alderman Boyer said he was satisfied that If the mayor's veto was good it had unquestionably stopped the paymeat of the judgment, fn his opinion, until six of the counciimen should pass the motion over it, but until geveral legal phases of the matter had been made clear to him he was unwilling to take any action at that time. He would suggest that the police department be Instructed to secure evi- dence whenever possible in all cases of accident and furnish same to the city attor- ney. Ho had been Informed by the city at- torney that he found it fmpossible to se-| cure such evidence and he (Boyer) under- stood that Detective Welr had evidence in this Lock case. Chiet Albro was asked why Detective Welr had not turned over this evidence to | the council and he said that the officer had | given it to the city attorney about a week | ago. It developed from one of the aldermen | that Deteetive Welr had stated that e had evidence showing that Lock had recelved “temporary permanent injuries. After more or less desultory dfscussion the counc!l adjourned without attempting | to pass the motion over the mayor's veto It 13 belleved that the matter will now be taken to the courts Davis sells glass BRIDE PROVES UNWILLING | Plattymouth Girl Says Hon iew Are Dearer Than Im uous Groom. G. G. Baird, in bis officlal capacity of | deputy clerk of the district court, has had many varied and amusing experiences dur- ing his muny years of service in connec- | tlon with the Issuance of marriage licenses, | but he met with one on the afternoon of the Fourth that was unusual, Shortly after he had fuished dinner Dep- uty Gill recelved a telephone message at | his residence to the effect that a couple from Plattsmouth, Neb., were most anxious 10 secure 4 marriage license. The person at the other end of the 'phone wanted to know 1t Mr. Baird would mind going to the courthouse and Issuing the license. Deputy Baird, always willing to help out people fn trouble, consented and he was told that the prospective groom and bride would meet him at the cigar store at the corner of Pearl street and Broadway, where they were anxiously awalting his arrival. When Mr, Baird reached the clgar store he was shown the young couple who were sald to want a marriage license and with them proceeded toward the courthouse. Something in the manner of the young woman Iudicatdd to Deputy Baird that there was some trouble and it looked to bim as it the couple had been quarreling. | tng | goodby. When they reached a point opposite the Grand hotel the young woman suddenly stopped und sald she would not procecd any further. “I am not ready to get mar- ried yet, and when 1 get married I will dbe magiled at bowe,l sald the young woman with an air of determination that left no room for dispute. “Why, what's the matter?’ asked Mr. Baird. "I thought you couple were In a desperate haste to get spliced.” ““Oh, come along, Mary; what's the good of making a fuss about a small matter like this? Let's go to the courthouse and get marrisd,” broke in the young fellow, as he wiped the perspiration from his fore- head and fanncd himself with his Fedora straw hat. “No, 1 will not go a step further, re- plied the young woman, as she planted her feet firmly on the sidewalk, and then | turning to Deputy Baird asked if she might speak to him privately for a second. The yourg woman and Mr. Baird moved ahead A few paces out of earshot of the would-be groom, and then the young woman told her tale of woe In Deputy Baird's confiding ear. She sald: “It's like this, 1 and Charley started out this morning to have a pleasant day and decided we would take In Lake Manawa. I have mot had a pleasant day, however, but a miserable time of it. Oh, you don’t know the time I have had with him. He has been all the time thinking of nothing clse but getting married. 1 don't want to marry him and I will not 8o there’s an end of it. My people have always been good to me and there is no reason why 1 should go away from home to get married.” The young man approached at this point in the recital of his companion's tale of woe and sald: “Well, Mary, it you won't come and get married there is only one thing for us to do, and that is to take our | little tickets and go back to Plattsmouth. Come along." This, Deputy Daird advised the young people was the best thing they could do under the clrcumstances, and assuring them that if at some future time they were both of the same mind he would be only too will- to {ssue them a license, bade them Thanking bim for the trouble he had been to, the young man shook Mr. Baird's hand, while the young woman gave a grateful look which told more than words The last Deputy Baird saw of the young couplo they were boarding a motor car for Omaha, evidently intending to return to Plattsmouth, Mr. Baird supposes that the young man did the telephoning in the cigar store while the young woman walted on the outside. WANT SALOONKEEPERS’ BONDS County Demands a New Issue to Meet the Terms of Supreme Court Deciston. County Attorney Killpack has notified the saloon keepers of this city that they must file new bonds forthwith with the county auditor, as required by law. This applies particularly to such saloon keepers as filed their bonds prior to the new code golng into effect, October 1, 1897. The supreme court has held that the bonds filed prior to that date were not good under the new law, and that new bonds must be filed. This the saloon keepers of Council Bluffs have failed to do and County Attorney Killpack is determined that the law in this respoct must be complied with. It is also said that many of the saloon keepers who have entered the business since the new code went into effect have failed to file any bond and the circular letter ad- dressed to the dispensers of liquid refresh- ments by the county attorney is to remind these also that they must step up to the auditor's desk with tho necessary $3,000 bond. The circular notice sent out yesterday by County Attorney Killpack is as follows: Dear Sir: The law requires every person, firm or corporation that engages in the sa loon business to file in the office of the county auditor a hond in the sum of §3,000, such bond to be signed by at least two' in. dividuals as suretles, or by some suret . and to be approved by the cler] ict_court doubt has heen cast upon the val- liquor dealers’ bonds given before And unless you have given Some 1dity of Brant sharge of viol warrant for Mrs from the court gave bail Monday. ing her marriage vow.

REFUSES OTHER REQUESTS TO SPEAK Details of Dallas Center Fire—Farm- Wife Burned by Lightuing ~Biggest Woman s De (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 6.—(Spectal)—Gov= ernor Shaw this morning declined to accept an offer to address the Veterans' assoc tlon of Fremont county at Sidney Septem- ber 7, on the ground that he expects to placo himself at the disposal of the repub- lcan state commitice fmmediately after the state convention in August and will make addresses throughout the atate fn support of the ticket and party. The governor is declining all invitations which might inter- fere with his campalgn plans. He has dellvered many speeches this year In various parts of the country and is in great demand as a speaker at all gatherings, especlally those of business men or persons interested in financial affalrs. Further detalls of the fire in Dallas Cen- ter on the Fourth have been received here. Tho total loss will be not far from $30,000, as the entire north side of the main street, comprising more thau halt the business Nouses of the town, was burned, except the | Citizens' bank, a new brick bullding, which was slightly removed from the rest. The fire started in Hoffnagel & Co.'s furnituro store, and the principal losers, aside from the Hoffnagel firm, were: Grant McClaln, hardware and furniture, $6,000; Willlams, harness shop, $1,300; J. I. Cramer, resl- dence, $1,000; Susong, millinery store, $1,000; Lewis, shoes, $300; Lloyd, shoes, $600; H. M. Sharnel, postoffice bullding, $600. There were many other lesser losers and the Insurance was falrly well covered. The part of the town burned was of old construction and as the town has been en- foylng a business boom this year more than ever before, there is no doubt that the business part of the town will now be bullt up better than it was before the fire.
