After Eleven Years a Lumber Firm
Gets Into Court.
A somewhat sensational case is on trial in
the county court yesterday. Woodruff & Nc
Quinn, LUMBER merchants OF Rockford, ILL.,,
have brought suit against Harry E. Oberlin,
alias Fred Sherman, TO recover on a $500
note, executed September IL, 1879. The facts
testified TO are that in 1879 Oberlin was
q marble cutter at Rockford and borrowed
the money from the plaintiff. A few months
later he disappeared as etfectually as though
he had been swallowed up by the earth. A
thorough search for his whereabouts was
made, but he was not found until a few
months ago, when he was located in this city,
living at 1916 North Nineteenth street and
known as Harry r.. Oberlin. Suit was
brought and the case is now on trial.
Sherman or Oberlin admits that ne lived
In Rockford, that he executed the note and
received the money, but claims that he was
a minor at that time and was not legally re-
sponsible for his acts. He also admits
that no changed his name from
Sherman TO Oberlin, not to defraud
his creditors, but on account of domestic
trouble which would have made his life
miserable if he had lived IN Omaha and had
been known as Fred Sherman.
In tracing up tho mans history, the plain
tIffs have learned that prior to tho defend
ants residence in this city he resided IN
Lafayette, Ind, where he was known 4s
Frank Slosson, and in Green Bay, Wis,
where people knew him as Frank Shepard. 81

Squires now proposes to force a show down
and find out whether or not the city owes
him 3 7,S74.45 for sweeping performed during
the months of August, September, October

During those months Squires had q
contract with the city by which he wasj to
sweep the paved streets.
The work, he AYERS, was performed ac-
cordlng to contract. The bill went before
the Board of Public Works, where it was re-
jected. When it reached the council it was

At another time it was referred to
the city attorney, who recommended
a reduction of ID per cent.

tween the office OF the Board Of Public Works,
the council chamber and the MAYORS Office.
Two weeks ago it again got before the coun-
Gil and was allowed in full, but when it

returned all of the to the council.
AT the next meeting of the council the veto
was rejected by a vote of: Yeas, 10; nays, 2.
The mayor refused to sign the warrant,
claiming that the bill was extravaganza, out
raGeCus and out OF all proportion as compared
with the amount of work performed.

Squires secured a mandamus from Judge
Doane commanding Mayor Gushing to ap
pear in court room No. . in THE BEE build
