THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1903. NEWS OF COUNCIL INDICTS A RURAL CARRIE Oharged with Embessling Money Left by Farmers in the Mail Boxes. WAS INTENDED TO BUY POSTAL ORDERS Allegation s M propriated the Money to His Own Use—Court Busy with Bankruptey Matters, Royal M. Zimmer, a rural route mail car- eler of Harrison county, was indicted yes- terday by the federal grand jury on a /foharge of embeszlement. Farmers living on Zimmer's mail route were {n ths habit of placing money in their mafl boxes In re- turn for which Zimmer was supposed (o issue money orders. The farmers falled to recelve the money orders and an investiga- tion was started which resulted in Zim- mer’'s arrest. The exact amount alleged to haye been secured by Zimmer in this man- ner 18 not known, but the federal authori- ties say it 1s considerable. The grand jury also returned an Indict- ment against Henry Ertz of Carroll on the charge of sending cbscene letters through the mail. It 1s charged that Erts has sys- tematically persecuted a respectable Ger- man family living near Carroll, and in do- ing 8o sent the head of the family several letters containing vile and obscere lan- guage. Ferdinand Kuehnel, charged with embes- xlement of government funds while post- master at Westphalla and who declined to enter elther a plea of gullty or not gullty, was sentenced by Judge McPherson yesier- day morning to six months' imprisonment in the county jall at Red Oak, and pay & fine of §500, this being equal to the amount of his ‘émbeszzlement. A greater part of yesterday's session was taken up with bankruptcy matters. A stip- ulation of dismiasal was filed in the invol- untary bankruptey case of Morris Cohn of this city, but the court refused to accept it and the oAse was continued for future hearing. A. B. Alpern of Omaha wa Cohn's largest creditor and the one who brought the bankruptey proceedings. Cohn flled counter claim against Alpern for §1,500 and they settled the matter out of oourt. In the bankruptcy of Mrs. Ella Jameson, formerly of this city, a resistance was made to the reopening of the case moved for by the creditors, who allege that Mrs. Jameson fafled to schiedule among her as- wots her Interest in the estate of her father, & wealthy farmer near Cedar Rapids. The court took the matter under advisement. Judge McPherson also heard the bank- Tuptey case of Martia Nolte, transferred here from Des Molnes. Nolte formerly in the mercantile business in Dexter, Ia., but claims that for four months prior to the proceedings brought by his creditors to have him declared a bankrupt he had been a resident of Nebraska, where he was engaged in farming. As a resident of Ne- braska he claimed he was mot subject to involuntary bankruptey proceedings in This case the court also took under advisement. The hearing of the bankruptcy case of Francls H! Ludwig of Hafrison county was Gontinued until next term. The suit of Lou ::ltnu. administrator, against the Union ific rallroad, assigned for trial yester- day, was continued to next term. Matters in District Court. The $300 In gold donated as one of the prizes by the Council Bluffs street fair and carnival committee, and which was won by Mrs. M. C. Van Derveer, formed the bone of contention in summary proceedings begun in the district court yesterday by Ovide Vien against Mrs, Van Derveer and her husband. Vien at once hastened to garnishee the street’ falr and carnival management in order to attach the $300 won by Mrs. Van Deryeer to satisfy a judgment, but was in- formed that tile money had been paid over to Mrs. Van Derveer shortly after the draw- ing Tuesday night. Speclal proceedings were then commenced in the district court to compel Mr. and Mrs. Van Derveer to ap- pear for examination as to their disposition of the money. The examination was held in the afternoon before Judge Macy and the defendants testified that the money had been turned over to H. H. Van Brunt, in whose employ Mr. Van Derveer is, and to whom he claimed to be indebted. Pending & further hearing in the matter, to be held this morning, .the court issued an order restraining the defendants from making any further disposition of the money. ‘F. €. Kuhn began sult for divorce yester- doy from Augusta H. Kuhn, whom he mar- ried in this city January 18, 18%. In ad- dition to statutory charges, he alleges the detendaxt deserted him June 14, 1 Judge W. R, Green {s still unable to re- sume his judiclal duties and Judge Thor- nell is holding court for him in Logan this week. Judge Thornell will come here Mon- day to try the criminal assignment, while Judige Macy will g0 to Avoca to hear equity cases in Judge Thornell's place. This change is mado because of Judge Macy eyesight. Judge Macy recently underwent undergo another early in October. In the meantime he is forbldden to use his eye- sight more than absolutely necessary and consequently this‘prevents him from pre- siding over jury trials, which involve the reading of instructions and examination of written evidence. Fruit Grocers Finish Up. The meeting of the Bouthwestern Iowa Horticultural soclety closed yesterday with & morning session. There was no formal Program as many of the members who had bhen present Tuesday had returned to thelr homes. The question of making an exhibit at the Bt. Louls exposition was informally discussed, but nothing decided upon. Some the members favored furnishing a daily ply of fresh frult for the exhibit, while | the city authorities as bein athiers were of the opinion that the under. taking would be too big and at the same time too costly. During the afterncon the members who sfayed over were driven around the local vineyards and orchards and were enter- talned at J. P. Hess' country residence at the close of the trip. George L. C. Miller, who has been work- #ig In the lumber regions in*Oregon and ‘Washington, and is on his way to visit rel- y was found sleeping | Mr® off & good sized jag on one of the settees in g Buyliss park yesterday morning. When searched at the city jall he was found to have $88 on him, Including three $® gold pleces. When Miller was told what money atlyes In Des Moine: LEWIS CUTLER 3 Peast o, Eiinal Bt _Phone BLUFFS. was found on him he complained that he had been robbed of five $20 gold pieces. Investigation by the police showed that Miller had been drinking in the bar of a Broadway hotel, where he displayed a num- ber of gold pleces. The proprietor of the place suggested to Miller that he put at lenst $150 of his money In the safe until he sobered up, but Miller refused to hccept the advice and retorted that he was well able to take care of himself. The police are looking for a painter who was with Miller at the time he left the hotel, when he was known to have nearly $200 with him. Up to a late hour last night the police had been unable to lay their hands on the painter. Thieves Probably Start Fire. ‘While everything pointed to the fire in the Campbell Bridge company’'s warehouse Monday night as being incendlary, the au- thorities now belleve it was started by thieves to ald them in robbing houses in the fmmediate vicinity. This is the theory ad- vanced by the police when they learned yesterday that one house in the vielnity had been robbed during the progress of the fire and another entered by thleves, who however were frightened away by a bull dog. The house of Frank Bchram, a car re- pairer in the employ of the Union Pacific, at 17 South Third street, was entered and 816 In money, mostly $20 gold pleces, and a watch and chain taken from a desk in the dining room. Schram, with other mombers of his family ran out to watch the fire, leaving the house unguarded. The theft was not discovered by the family until late Tuesday night, Thieves also entered the residence of J. J. McCluggage, an express messenger liv- Ing at 1401 Third street, but were frightened away as o bull dog, which was in the Kkitchen, gave the alarm and aroused the ocoupants of the house. Both houses are but a few doors from the warehouse, which was set on fire. N. Y. Plumbing Co. Tel., 2%0. Night, F6T. No Damage by Frost.

The change In the heating piant by repla- {cing the meven old bollers with four new ones has made it impossible to warm up the capitol earlier and there has been some complaint in the state offices. This morn- ing steam was turned on from four of the old bollers that have not yet been disturbed and the first thing done was to burst the steam pipe leading from the heating plant through the tunnel to the capitol. This is a l#inch main, Workmen were secured to 80 to work and stay at the task untll the break is repaired and this will be In & day or two. In the meantime the state off- | clals are liberal in the use of gas to. keep their offices warm while they are at work.

MEN TO PROBE INDIAN FRAUDS Objection Made to Inspector Churchill Who is Himselt Under arg WABHINGTON, Sept. 16.—There will be no delay in starting the Indian Territory investigation. Attorney Charles J. Bona- parte of Baltimore will take up that work early next week, Mr{ Bonaparte will be assisted by Inspector §. F. O'Fallon and possibly Dr. George Bird Grinnell, editor of Forest and Stream. Inspector Frank Churehill was suggested as one of those detalled to assist Mr. Bonaparte, but his selection may be countermanded, owing to & report that Mr. Churchill is himselt under charges. It was sald today that charges have been flled with Secretary Hitchcock to the effect that in purchasing the im- provements on land set aside for a gov- ernment reservation at Sulphur Springs, Chickasaw nation, Mr. Churchill, who was in full charge of that work, it is claimed, had some of the most desirable property set aside for himself, and this has becn used as the basis for the allegation that he was involved In frregularities that should be in- vestigated. The report concerning these chares could not be confirmed at the In- terior department, as none of the officlals there would disouss it. The fact that he has been selected as one of Mr. Bonaparte's assistants would indicate that if charges have been made against him they are dis- credited at the department. It is likely however, that the criticism of Mr. Church- 1il's selection may lead to the substitution ot some other Inspector. Mr. O'Fallon has been in the Indian serv- 1oe only a few months. He is a Missourian, and has served In the Missouri legislature. Dr. Grinnell bas had considerable experi- ence In the investigation of scandals on In- dian reservations. About a year ago, at the request of President Roosevelt, he disclosed the facts in cofinection with an attempt that was made to defraud the Standing Rock Siouxs in the leasing of 400,000 acres of land belonging to those Indians, and thus saved thém thelr homes and prevented cattlemen from getting possession of thelr lands. Dr. Griniell has had an experience of many years mong the Indians, and for some time lived among the Black Feet of Montana. He has a reputation for unerring judgment, and, in the ppinion of ofclals here, his name will ddd vastly to the welght of authority in the report Mr. Bona~ parte will make on the situation In the Indian Territory. The suggestion -has been made that, in view of Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen- eral Bristow's success In running down bribe takers, and other grafters in the Post- office department with his force of trained Inspectors, that some of Mr. Bristow's men be detalled to assist Mr. Bonaparte in ex- posing frauds in the Indian Territory. It 1s pointed out that Inspectors Mayer and Fosnes, who developed the irregularities in the Machen case, would be valuable addi- tions to Mr. Bonaparte's force. Especially is Inspector Fosnes well equipped for the Indian Territory work, as he has had ex- perience In scandals connected with the In- dfan service and the general land office. There is a growing belief among officials in Washington .that the Investigation in the Indian Territory will develop scandals even more sensational than those brought to light by the postal investigation.
