An Important Decision.
Special to the Globe.


DIES MONIES, la, Nov. 17.-Several years
ago Clay county issued warrants with little
regard to assets. One McAler purchased a
lot of these warrants. which the county
failed to pay He brought an action to re-
cover on them and obtained Judgment. The
county made payment from time to time on
the Judgment, but finally ceased. An APP
plication was made to the federal court for
a mandamus to require the supervisors to
levy a tax to pay the judgment. The county
set up as defense that the statute limited
the levy of taxes, and that it required the
full limit to meet actual expenses of the
county. The court decided that the judy
ment must be paid, and part of the an
nual levy must be set apart to do so. The
county cannot apply its revenue as it sees
fit to the exclusion of judgment creditors.
The county appealed the case to the United
States circuit court. In that court Judge
Dillon held that in several cases where
counties had issued railroad bonds and set
up as defense a want of consideration and
the statutory limitation of taxation, the
bonds having passed into the hands of
third persons, innocent purchasers, they
must be paid, and a special tax had to be
levied therefor. There was also further
reason, that the counties could not take adj
vantage of their own wrong by coming into
court and pleading limitation of statute as a
defense

SSrertbe Facts.

Special to the Globe.
OMAHA, Nov. 17.-Judge Brewer OF the
United States circuit court arrived this
morning and took his place on the bench
for the special consideration of the case OF
Matt Simmerman, the murderer released by
United States COmpiSSiOner Savllle at
Kearney on a writ of habeas corpus. This
is the case which created such excitement
few weeks ago. Simmerman was SEN
fenced to be hanged for shooting Sheriff
Jack Woods at Wmden, when that officer
attempted to arrest him about two years
ago for horse stealing. The case was APP
pealed to the Nebraska supreme court,
which refused to reverse the decision, and
an appeal was taken to the United States
supreme court. 1t was pending thus while
Simmerman was lying i'll the penitentiary
under sentence of death that n.
Burr, an attorney OF Lincoln,
surreptitiouslv secured from Sayllle at
Kearney Simmerman's release on $4,000
bail. 1t was alleged Saville was drunk
at the time Burr is on trial for disburs-
ment and it was upon Saviles part in the
affair that Judge Brewer to-day rendered
his decision. The court stated he had,
upon being notified of the facts, at once III
structed the clerk of the court to summon
Saville to appear and show cause why he
should not be removed. Inasmuch as Sa-
vile had not complied with this summons,
the court could only conclude he was guilty.
An order of removal was accordingly en-
tered against SaviIle The court further
instructed the United States attorney to
fully investigate the charges against all
parties to the affair and any other who
might be involved, and report. Judge
Brewer has heard rumOrs of a conspiracy
to use the federal authority to interfere
with the proceedings Of the state authorities.
