The court alone, befors the commis- Moners were appointed, decided or acted i1pon about forty cases during each work- ®mg montd, but the new filings invariabl txceeded that number eo that the number ' cases pending kept growing larger and arger. With the assistance of the com- nissloners the court now disposes of over 160 cases each month. When the commissioners began their la bors there were 1,843 cases pending, In- tluding those under advisement. Since shat time there have been 588 new cases Mded to the docket, making a total of L441. During the first ten months of the fommission 1,501 cases were disposed of, | leaving 940 cases pending, including these ander advisement. At the average rate of 2ing it te lkely that 475 new cases will | e added to the docket before December 31 which, with the 940 pending, will make L415. “It' would be unreasonable to expect the sourt to clear the docket entirely by the | ‘ime the commissioners’ term expire,” sala in attorney today, “but it.1s more than | ‘kely that they will have everything dfs- posed of that Is filed prior to January first This will leave the court three months be- hind, and at the rate cases have been Ais- posed of In the past the court and three | tommissioners ought to be able to attend to all litigation from that time on.” Editor Takes Too Much Sulphonal. Bruno Hermann, managing editor of the Frefe Presse of this city, died at 10 o'clock this morning from an overdose of sulpho- nal. Whether he took the drug with sui- cidal intent or to relleve himself of in- komnia fs & mystery His ph n pre- teribed its use neveral weeks ago for eleep Jeseness, and his friends assert that he took the overdose by accident. Hermann lived In a rooming house at 338 Bouth Thirteenth street. About a month 8g0 he was married to Mias Eugenia Kess- ler, presumably in New York City. They returned to Lincoln and began planning for | o home, livirg temporarily In Mr. Her- mann’'s apartments on South Thirteenth street. Last Friday Mrs. Hermann was called east by a telegram dated in Chicago and asking her to come to the bedside of a sick sister. The message was signed by 4 man's given name, but contained no ad- dress. A thorough search through Mr. Hermann's belongings revealed no Infor- mation as to her whereahouts, no recora of thelr marriace nor of any relatives. Mr. Hermann was Inclined to be despondent at times and often spoke In terms of regret to his friends that he ever came to live tn Lincoln, saying that he was accustomed to & more cosmopolitan life than he hunfli bere. The wife of the man has not been found, | though telegrams have been sent to all per- wons named in the letters and papers found in Mr. Hermmon's room Physicians who attended Mr. Hermann deny that there was any suicidal motive mixed up In the affair, They maintaln that congestion of the lungs, together with a dose of some coal tar preparation for re- Neving colds, caused his death. Mr. Hermann was a little over 30 years of age. He is a native of Austria and has a fatber, mother and brother living He came to America soon after his graduation from college and was employed on the German edition of the New York Journal Four years ago he was employed by F. H. Nagel as editor of the Freie Presse and bas continucd In that capacity ever since Among his effects was found a $10,000 life insurance policy.
