imnnrtant Suit.

OMAHA, November 1.-THE case of the
United States against the Brighton Ranch
Company came before Judge Brewer in the
United States Circuit court to-day. The
suit in equity was brought against this
cattle company some months ago to compel
it to take down its fences on government
lands 1t has 81 rfiles of fence enclosing
such lands in Northwestern Nebraska The
defendant filed an answer setting up the
defense, to which United States District
Attorney Lambertson took exceptions, of
which all except one were sustained by
Judge Brewer to-day. The exception
which Judge Brewer did not pass judg-
ment upon was that which referred to the
defendants allegations, that it owns the
lands upon which the fences are located.
Judge Brewer, while deciding that the
defendants had nc right to erect fences on
the public domain, will hear proof as to
the alleged ownership of these lands before
deciding as to the injunctions to compel
the fences 10 be taken down. 1t is under
stood that the defendants had employed
cowboys and others to pre-empt homestead
sections of the lands upon which the fence
runs, but the inside sections, of course,
have not been pre-empted or hOmesteaded.
Tney claim a title only to the sections on
which the fence is located. All this was
done since the suit began, so it is alleged,
and the District Attorney threatens to have
the parties indicted This is only one of
several similar fence cases in Nebraska and
Wyoming. The outcome is awaited with
a great deal of interest by cattle men, who
have fenced in immense tracts of the pub
lie domain.

COUNCIL AND BUSINESS
MEN OF THIS
CITY.

81 LII SouStISdliOu Will 0lE. ION
j. Ferguson, of the jewelry firm Q
Ferguson & Schnack, a few day
ago, a DEMOCRAT reporter was pu
in possession of some facts and infor
nation which he desires to lay befor'
the public and especially the motto,
of the City Council. Alexandra
has a first-class steam fire engin.
and an excellent hook and ladde,
company. There are three tanks in
the city for the purpose Of storing
water for the use of the steamer in
case of fire. They are located as
follows: One in the city square,
one on the corner of Fourth and
Beauregard streets, and the other
on the corner of Fifth and Murray
streets.
The cistern in the city square is
the only one of the three that con-
talns water or would be of use in
case OF fire. The others will hold
water in wet weather, but in wet
weather there is not so much dan
ger from fire, and during dry wealth
er the two cisterns in question run
dry This is a matter which should
be at once investigated by the
Council. If the steamer has no
water to work with it would be of
no more use in case of a fire than if
we had none.
The time to guard against a fire
is before it commences, or else
some arrangements should be per-
fected to check its course. Mr..
Ferguson has called the attention
Of the Council to this matter on
different occasions, but SO far, he
'ays, without satisfactory results.
With the approach of winter and
he building of fires in stoves and
ire places which have not been in
'se since last winter, the danger
rom lire and the risks will be
realty increased. The condition
he cistems are in is not only dan
erous, but it is lamentable, and
ne City Council does wrong in
ermitting them to remain useless.

These are facts which the DEM

is far better to direct public at

to rect'fy them-try to put our N
