DE How Oounty Attorney and Deputies Help to Spend Public Money, MANY CRIMINAL CASES GO OVER TERM Only Wour of Seventy Compl Filed During May Term Disposed of by Trial Procee: ~Othéts Walt, The May term of the distriet dourt Is to «closs this week, probably Wednesday. It /Mas continued through three full months and the criminal docket fs practically a closed book. It shows that during the term there have been seventy entries, but that enly four of the cases incipded have been earricd through formal trial proceedings before & jury. The $2,500 county attorney, his four $1,200 deputies and his $900 mes- |menger have been too busy, it is explained, \t0 remch the others. These four were not cases -of such im- |portance that the nation felt particularly {relleved when they were disposed of. Lil- Jian \Btevens and Lulu Patterson, both colofed, were convicted of larceny, B. K. Lee Btome pf assault snd battery and ‘Danlel Lucey of perjury. Considering pone but the 'May filings, the number of cases mot prosecuted by the counity atorney eguals the number. of his <onvictions. The fortunates were Peter Belits, stabbing with intent to wound; Patrick ‘Lynch, burglary; Tofn Dombroski, assault with intent to do great bodily Barta; Willlam Davis, daylight breaking and enterfSg. The records show that Davis had pleaded guilty, them withdrew %is plea to enter one of mot guiity and the county attorney moved to nolla prosequi the case. Twelve prisoners, mostly from the po- Iice court, where Judgs Berka had first doclared their guilt, fnally pléaded gullty Defore it came to a showdown and took mitgated sentences. ‘¥ree Boadd for Walting Ones.

CUT IN PACKING HOUSE PRODUCT RATES No Other Road Meets the Redw Made by Obleago Great W ern—B1, Improvements of Missouri Pacific. A. W. Brock, who recently left the Bur- lington offides ‘In . Omaha after several years- service as chief clerk of the gen- eral frefght * department, “has been‘ ap- pointed trafic manager of the American Fast Frelght line, with headquarters in Chicago. He succeeds C. B, Fiske in this position. : Mr.. Brock's new station is regarded as 4 very substantial and pretentious one and his friends in Omaha leArn of ‘his advance- ment with great pleasure.” When, he left Omaha Mr. Brock went to accept & place with, the American {Liseed 'company - of Ohicego, and his new position is the out- come of that move. The Amerfcan Fast Freight line oper- ates’ tracks connecting various mills, of tho, American Linseed company with other raflroads at several of the most fmpor- tant cities of the country, the eastern ex- tremity of the circuit. being Buftalo, N. Y., the northern’ Minneapolis, the south- ern St. Louls and the western Omaha. Mr. Brock's appointment _as trafo manager of this concern became effective August 1. Great Western s Alome. None of the Omaha roads has as yet re- celved notice from its genera! headquarters to meet the reductions in freight:rates'on packing house products made by the Chi- cago’' Great Western between Kansas Oity and Chicago and Mississippl river points. All have been in communication regarding'l the situation and some developments are looked for within the next twenty-four hours. While the Great Western's action does not directly affect Omaha, most freight men belleve it will extend to this territory and they look for a general mix-up. “‘Something must be done to keep the Great Western in line,” sald an official yesterday morning. In connection with the Great Western's initiative of this reduction the rumor that President Stickney wants to sell his road 1s revived. It is sald that he has taken this means of calling attention to the fact that lils s one of the few independent western roads, and that 1t is on the market for the highest bidder. Against its powerful rivais it Is urged that the Great Western has found the task of getting a fair share of business so trying and severe since cuts and -rebates have been Installed that -its management has concluded to offer the property to the blg financial interests who are gobbling up all the independent roads available. This version is not given general ere- dence in Omaha, hoever. One prominent raliroad man s “I can’t accept the theory that Stickuey wauts to There | was a time when I thought he did, but his road pald well last year, I understand, and it has been acquiring and building to some extent which to me indicates that the prop- erty 1s not for sale. thought at first that b building of the road into this territory from Fort Dodge was a ‘bluff,’ just a feeler thrown out for a purchaser, but I have Changed my mind on that point.” 1t is sald that the Great Western is push- ing its constructlon work on this new line as rapldly as possible. ‘Some unavoldable dolay has been encountered as s result of the fallure to get structural iron necessary to complete the bridge at Fort Dodge.
