John Paracchini says a stranger shot him in the head. The police declare that the stranger bounced a beer glass off Parac- chinl's dome of thought. At all events Paracchini, who is a bar- tender working for his brother in a saloon at Ninth and Jackson, telephoned the sta- tion Friday afternoon, declared he had been shot and sat down passtvely until the patrol wagon arrived.

OLD SCORES UP TO BE SETTLED Benefit Watertalnment for Chila Saving Institute the Home of Mr. and Mw.' Laverty. “Sour grapes™ Is an element of the city lighting proposition which is to enter into the considerations of the bids for public lightning now before the city council. The councll held a session Friday night as a committee of the whole to consider the propositions, 8. L. Winter, one of the principal advooates of the recent Nebraska Power company's proposition to erect and sell to South Omaha a $2,500,00 municipal plant, and who s the present city at- torney, was present to raise all the ob- jections which were hurled against his fa- vorite proposition and hurl the same against the new South Omaha company, modified to sult the new conditions. It was not denfed that the new company's bid was 8% cheaper for each arc light nor that the commerclal lighting rate was 2 cents cheaper for each kilowatt hour, but the point was made that whereas the pres- ent company now pays a royalty of .75 on commercial lighting, the city would lose that royalty. The new company agreed, and fs required, to pay a royalty at the same rate, but the patronage would be nothing at the start. Anclent History Not Wanted. The representatives of the new company Insisted that the questions involved in the Nebraska power proposition were entirely out of place fn the proposed plan and there was no reason for ringlhg up this bit of SBouth Omaha's anclent history. The matter of the royalty would adjust itself long before the ten years' ocontract ex- pired. It was agreed by the attorneys to incorporate in the lighting contract that a plant of $100,00 valuation at least should be erected within the city limits and sub- ject to taxation this would vield a reve- nue annually of $820 at least. This, with the/ difference in the bids, would balance any present royalty. 8. L. Winters then attacked the credi- bility of the new company for the reason, as he expressed It, the attorneys for the new company had in the past attacked the credibility of the Nebraska Power company. It s likely that it will be a long time before the council and the pub- Ie, to ‘whom In all probabllity the propo- sition will In the end be referred, will have settled the light proposition. Already there are signs of sharp dlvision it the contract as it stands at present will be awarded. A new advertisement may be necessary. The new company being nom- inally the lowest bidder, if not to all practical purposes, will object to & read- vertisement. After considering all these possibilities the committee of the whole rose without definite action and passed the Qquestion over until the meeting of the council Monday evening. Benefit for Institute. A benefit entertainment for the Child Saving Institute will be given at the resi- dence of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Laverty, 1482 North Twenty-sixth street, Tuesday, April 2, from 2 to § p. m.
