A Remarkable Murder Trial.
Special Dlspat,h to the Globe Democrat.

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Oemocrat.
LINCOLN, Neb., May 3 "A remark
able murder trial has just been ION
oIuded in the district court Of Gage
county. The case dates back as far 81
1871, when a young man named Cam
erou, d resident of Gage county, SUD
dsnly disappeared. Adjoining the
Cameron farm was that of one Jsck
Marlou, lately married, his own folks
and those of his wife lIvingnear Mari
on and Cameron were close friendSaHd
worked together frequently. When
Cameron disappeared Marion vas last
aeon with him, aud the first thing to
arouse suspicion was the fact that
Marion was wearing some of Cam
eron's clothing. MMion's wife then
accused him of numbering Cameron,
aud refused to live with him unless he
proved his Innocence, The sentiment
of the locality In which he lived wac
coon 80 strong against him tina hs left
for parts unknown, taking French
leave, This was eleven years ago.
Since that time the fugitive
has been traced through several
s~tstes, and was at last captured at
Chstsqua county, Kan, and returned
to Nebraska. The year follo wing the
disappearance of Cameron q human
skeleton was found In Indian creek,
on the Otoe reservation. The hat was
misslng; also the boots, and there
were three bullet holes In the skull,
At the Investigation of the coroner's
jury 1t was proved that the clothing
found on the skeleton wa that worn
by Cameron, and the evidence against
Marion was so strong that the
Jury rendered a verdict declar.
ing that John w. Cameron met his
death at his hands. Since his return
to Nebraska the prisoner has mani.
tested the utmost indifference as to
his fate, and duriug the trial, which
has been long and exciting, has been
perfectly self possessed. The verdict
was that OF murder In the 6rst degree
The Trial has been of unusual interest
owing to the hard reputation of tn,
prisoner, the great length of time tina
has elapsed since the murder anG
the formidable array OF purely clrcum
stantial evidence against him,

WATER vs.. VINE.
The City Of PlattsmOuth in a
Temperance Turmoil,
A Startling Precedent for Ne
braska Temperance
Folks.

From Mr. Henry Voss, the archi.
tecs, who returned from PlattSmouth
Fidsy, It Ia learned that that
city Ia passing through q spirited CON
hiot between Tho liquor men and the
temperance element of the place, the
excitement being In regard to the sub.
ject of liquor licenses.
1t appears that there are seven
saloon keepers In the city, all of whom
filed their applications and put
up the 81, 900 license fee re.
quired by law, whereupon the
licenses were granted by the city
council. The Temperance folks
stopped at this %Juncture and made
"the grand kick, and the police judge
sustaining the action, sued out al In
junction In the district court, which
is now in session at Plattsmouth. A
temporary restraining order was ia.
sued, and the drouth that exists In the
city of tho sever hills is said to be
something terrible, and to lay the
plaques visited upon Phsraoh's sub
jects away ia the shade. Not a drop
OF beer or whisky Is to be had
at any Of the saloons during
the existence of the RESTRAINING order
and the only salvation for the people
Is the fact that the town is pleased
with several drug stores which are
running without opposition under
their own licenses.
The farmers have taken q hand 10
the fight and awear they will not come
to town t, sell produce or trade with
Its merchants unless the saloonkeepers
are granted their license, and a lively
war bstween the two factions hsa
been inaugursted.
The grounds upon which the %iniunc.
tlons are sued out are purely tecal;-
cal, being that each of the seven
saloon keepers Of the city Of tho sever
hills, b. the way n saloon keeper
for each hill, has al soma time in The
near or remote past violated NJ o.
another of the provisions of taS
SlooUm law and is consequently barred
from b ronswsl OF his license,
If such an objection should prevail
with the court 1t would furnish a start
ling precedent for other Localities apC
Omaha would probably feel the effect
Of 1t az tbs violations complained of
such as selliag OH Sunday, selling sftsI
midnight, selling on election day, etc.
are such as could be proven ags!ns'
probably every retail liquor house Ii
this city, but which have always beef
ignored by the city officials as the las
agsinst profanity is.
Such a movement here would In
volve the town in q chaos of disorde
and would send several hundred oil
bummers to an untimsly grave.

Another Fine Brick Block for Douglas

The building boom, which so far as

80 heavy last year as 1t was In 1881, is
experiencing q revival which promises
to make this a season of unusual pros.
ps,iiy for Omaha. On all sides old

The building now occupied by the
firm has a front of forty.ige feet, and
il will beexactly duplicated except tina!
the new building, while also having a
forty. five foot front, will be three in,
atead Of two stories high. The walls
between the two buildings will be torn
down, thus throwing them into one,
giving the firm a aalesroom on the
ground floor 90I80 feet 10 size and &
basement room of the same dimen-
eions, This will give the house prob
ably the largest front of any house
west of Chicago, and will make a very
handsome building, and one that could
not be afforded except for the fact
that the ground Is owned BY
Mr.. Falconer so that his expenditures
will be solely In the new building.

TITLE TROUBLES.
An Important Decision by Judge
Wakeley.
Confusion In Hartman's Add
ton.

Judge Wskeley Saturday rem.
dered q decision In the case of Streltz
VS.. Halst, which will create some ex.
element In Hartman's addition to this
city. The facts involved are substan.
TALLY rs follows:
In 1865 Hartman received from
John I, RediCk a conveyance Of the
southesst quarter of the northwest
quarter of section ~, township 10
north, range 10, in Douglas county,
and in 1867 he received from the same
grantor a conveyance Of small tract
containing about acres. These
c%onveyances are upon q trust therein
expressed for the use and benefit of
and to be conveyed by Hartman to
the members of the homestead society
Of Dubuque, l., according to their re-
spective interests in Improperly. This
property was surveyed by Hartman
into town lots and plated as Hsrtman's
addition to the city of Omaha.
In proceeding to survey the land
the surveyors made a mistakein sscer
tanning Its true lines, and located the
addition further north and further
west than called for by the govern
ment survey, running thirty eight
feet south and about seventeen feet
west of the government corner. making
an overlap of 38x17 feet on Kountz's
land. The location as indicated by
the recorded plat was msnifestly diff.
ferent from that indicated by the sur.
veyors' stakes, and the interesting
question was presented whether the
plat or the stakes as actually placed or
the ground should control. The case
of Streitz Va. Halst was COM
menced In 1880, after t%wo.thirdi
of the lots have been sold and ons
third of them built upon according tt
the stakes. If the plaintiff prevailed
1t would involve q read justment of tn,
entire addition, the destruction Of
houses, the moving of fences and thu
removal of other improvements.
Mr.. S5reitz, who has large Interest,"
In the addition, consulted MIR K. w
Simersl as to his rights. aud vas ad
vised to institute ejeotment proceed

contested for three years, having beer
tried three times, the defendant beinI

and Isasc Hasoall, Mr.. Hartman bein
represented by Msnderson & Cong
don, and the plaintiff by Mr.. E. w

Judge Wakeley disposed of the cas-
this morning in a very elaborate an
ably written opinion, remarking tina
1t was a case of great interest and ba
occasioned him much thought. TIL
