- — ———— TURGEONS STAY IN STAT Aoting Governor Bteslo Refuses to Hover Requisition from Bouth Dakota. FILES ANSWER IN POLICE BOARD CASE » Have Had No Effect on Flow of Water Below No 4NCOLN, June 21.—(Special.)—At the wonclusion of a long-drawn hearing Act- ing Governor Steele this afternoon denied the requisition from the governor of South Dakota for C. W. Turgeon, Voltalre Tur- &eou and Adelore Turgeon, who reside near Dakota City, for trial on the charge of shooting with intent to do great bodily | harm. The case presented several pecullar feat- ures. The Turgeons occupy land near Dakota City, the title to which has long been In dispute. About a month ago a posse of deputy sheriffs of SouthDakota | arrived on the homestead and essayed to | take possession. They met the settlers and & dispute ensued In which several shots were fired by both sides, some of which took effect. The officers were unable to | make the arrest or galn possession of the | land and made haste to the South Dakota capital to get out a legal process. In the meantime the Turgeons were travellng with il possible speed to the Nebraska capitai to get a requisition for the deputy sheriffs. The Nebras requisition was denied by the governor of South Dakota on the ground that the shooting occurred In that state if at all and that the goveraor of Nebraska bad no jurisdiction in the case. In denying the South Dakota requisition ! Acting Governor Steele gives a similar | reason, though its application s different. | He holds that the shooting occurred in N braska territory and that men cannot be taken to South Dakota for trial. The dep- uty sheriffs were outside of their jurisdic- | tion when the trouble occurred and their ! only recourse is to begin proceedings in a ! Nebraska court. Answer in Police Boa Cane. The attorney general's office has made another contribution to the literature of the Omaha Fire and Police commission cabe. It is in the nature of a reply to the motion of C. C. Wright for a rehearing. The docu- ment is prepared by Norris Brown, as ant attoroey general, and is as follows: Keplylng to the brief of counsel for the relator in this case we call your honor's atiention to the fact that not a single au- thority is cited which impeaches the ruie of the opinion of this court heretofore endered in this case. To particularize he cage of the State against Tutor, b Am., Dec. 162, was a suit between individuals | over un’ office created by a private cor- poration and was not a suit in which the state had any interest whatever. It was entirely proper and correct for the court to | reluse to render a judgment iIn that case for the .reason that at the time it was | called upon to render a judgment the lator was not being kept ‘out of any office, i e of the State against Forter, N. W., 715, there was no contest betw the staté and somebody else, but it solely a dispute between Individuals, ea > whom claimed to have an elective title o office. The office had expired and there vas nothing left to determine, the title of loth parties to the office In quéstion having nfled by limitation. 8o In the case of Hurd agalnst Beck, 4 ac. Rep. The state was not a party.' It awsylt between individuals over ession of an office to which each ming his own election. When the as called In the supreme court for the office had passed, vas & hearing mither party to the sult had any title ts tle office at the time and the court very ploperly on its own motion dismissed the Poceeding because no substantial rellef caild be granted efther party. ‘n Dean against State, 56 Neb., 301, the *eoitest was between claimants to the office of mayor, each claimant alleging that he hai recelved a majority of the votes cast | &t the election. Their title to the office | wa an elective one. The title to the office for either party died with the expiration of the term. The State was in no sense a paity to the lawsuit, and it cannot be con- stried as a precedent in this case. The oplilon in dismissing the case cites that the suit was a proceeding brought not by a P\Xfllfl K’muculur. but by a rival claimant 0_an office. The original Moores case and the Ken- ! case were each brought by the chief aw officer of the state to determine the ower of the governor to appoint a police oatd, That 'was the thing adjuafeated and the question determined. The state Was 4 party and Is hound by the decision upless this court shall now determine that the doctrine of res adjudicata ms an- nounced in the O'Chandler case and later followed in the Kennedy case and sup- orted by the courts of California, Illtnols, <ansas, Texas and all of the fextbooks cited in our original brief in this case, is | wrong. We do not belleve that the au- | thorlties of counsel for the relator cited and above referred to are sufficient_to over- throw the opinlon heretofore rendered by this court. Delegates to Mining Congress Acting Guvernor Steele bas appointed the following delegates to represent Nebraska at the International Mining congress, which will be held in Butte, Mont., September | to 5, Inclusive: C.

Carpenter, Syracu ‘The recent heavy rains throughout the State have had no appreciable effect in the | supply of water in the various stream: that are used for irrigation. In the Platte and other large rivers the water Is rapidly decreasing in volume and is already below mormal for this season of the year. “‘The inspection of the department shows that the Platte river is lower t 1t has been In June for several years,” sald B. B. Forbes, assistant secretary of the Board of Irrigation. “This is not because of lack 11, but Is due entirely to the lack in the mountains during the ‘winter. Farmers have thus far had all the water they needed, but it is likely that those who have to rely on irrigation | wolely will soon begin to suffer. A few complaints have been flled in this office from the western part of the.state, put most of them came from along the minor streams and originated from some appropriator taking more than his share of the water.” Walting on Diek B Adjutant General Colby declares that no ns for an encampment of the Nebraska National Guard this year will be considered RepairsHair Nature always tries to repair damaged hair.

"It has been reported favorably by both the senate and house committees on military affairs and has the endorsement of President Roosevelt. Every interest seems to be In favor of the bill and unless it dies under the head of ‘un- finished business’ will unquestionably pass and become a law. The bill was recom« mended by the Natlonal Guard Assoclation of America and introduced in congress at its request, but not before it had received the approval of the president and other high authorities.” General Colby sald the holding of an en- campment, however, does not depend en- tirely on the passage of the bill. ‘“‘Plans may be devised, even if the bill is de- feated by which we may hold an encamp- ment this year as usual,” he said The claims of the railroad companies for transporting the troops to and from the encampment in Omaha last year are now in the auditing department and will prob- ably soon be allowed. They amount to within about $2,000 of all the money in the National Guard expense fund. It is estl- mated that an encampment this year would { cost in the nelghborhood of $20,000. ¥. 8.
