One Colored Youth who win Doubtless lie
PreJudiced Against silver.
A colored youth, giving his name as Joe
Henry Crocker, entered United States Dis
trict Attorney Bakers office yesterday morn
ing, and wanted to have baker whose name
he did not know, arrested for passing coun-
terfeit money. He said he entered the
latter's place Of business at 1918

ing and made purchase, rendering
s. bill in payment IL was changed, and
the plaintiff a short time afterward rendered
the money to his landlady in payment for
his board. She discovered that the coin was
n counterfeit, and refused to take 1t. Crock
er went back to the baker and demanded to
have good money in place of the bogus dol
lar, but the latter insisted that he had not
given out the worthless dollar and declined
to make 1t good.
The prosecuting attorney said that he had
no doubt Of the guilt of the party who was
alleged to have passed the coin, but that in
view of the conflicting stories and the alb
sence Of the necessary witnesses 1t would
be impossible to substantiate the charge of
violating the law, and declined to take up
the case. The coin was wretched counter
felt, the milling being very defective and the
general appearance of the dollar being
noticeably bad, although tho weight varied
but little from genuine dollar.

PULLMAN'S CASE.

Sir George Has Been Receiving tho At
tention of the City Attorney.
CityAttorney Connell arrived home yester-
day morning from Chicago, and will remain
until the latter part Of the month. A greater
portion of Mr.. Connell's time during the
present week has been taken up with the
Pullman Palace Car company tax case.
The case grows out of the effort of the
city last spring to force the collection of de-
linquent personal taxes Of the company for
the years from 1885 to 1888, inclusive. The
company has resisted the payment OF the
taxes and the suit now pending in tho
United States circuit court was brought by
the company to restrain the city from col
lecting the taxes The testimony taken In
Chicago was on behalf of the company be-
fore Commissioner f. g. Merrill. The or
der for taking testimony at that time was
served upon MIR Connell and County Attor.
ney Haley, tho latter representing the
county in the case. Mr. Haley was unable
to be present
Under the equity rules of tho federal court
testimony in such cases shall be taken before
IA commissioner and an abstract Of the same
filed with the court, the presiding Judge pass
ing upon the testimony filed. Mr., Connell
conducted the examination of the witnesses
on behalf OF the city, and he gives it as his
opinion that the evidence adduced Is not
very strong and rather weak case has been
presented. The company denies tho juris-
diction of the city council of Omaha and the
commissioners of Douglas county to assess
the rolling stock for personal taxation pur-
poses, alleging that the headquarters and
the head offices of the company are
located in Chicago. Also that the Ger
nina of the company is Council Bluffs,
that being the point where the cars are re-
paired, cleaned and housed at the end OF
each trip. The chief witness was the assist
ant to the general superintendent and his
testimony was aimed to prove the non-Juris-
diction of this city and county in making the
assessment. Mr.. Connell says that upon
cross-examination the witness testimony
was very much weakened. He had never
been in this part Of the country and did not
know whether Omaha was in Douglas or
Pottawattamie county. and in his explana-
tion of the operation of the company's bust
ness here he was very much mixed.
Mr.. Connell will take dispositions in behalf
Of the city before q commissioner early In
September. The examination will take place
in Omaha.

do not miscarry Sergeant Sigwart has just
completed n plat showing the location OF
the squatters remaining on the streets and

who were included in the Hawes settlement
have removed. But two remain on Leaven-
worth street and they have promised to
vacate within the next few days.
Sergeant Sigwart's plat takes in the ter
ritory between jackson and Mason streets

He found thirty squatters on the streets and

shanty to vacate within three days. AT
the end of the three days the
sqnatters have five days in which to appear
in court and show cause why writ of
eiectment should not issue. DIR. Somcrs says
that the first steps will be followed up in
any effective manner and he hopes within
two or three weeks to have all Of the squat
ters removed from the streets and alleys.

MIXOLOGISTS DISAGREE.

Bartenders Divided in Sentiment About
Wearing the White Apron.
The Bartenders union. since it's inception
some three months ago, has not had very
smooth sailing, as most of the experienced
''mixologists" have refused to join, claiming
that the organization was merely Z ruse to
give men who are only occasionally employed
n chance to get place to work and obtain
good wages. Frantic appeals have been
made to the Central Labor union for assist
ance in boycotting saloons that do not en-
ploy union bartenders or men wearing the
white apron.
Thus far the appeal has not struck re-
sponsive chord in the hearts of the members
of the Central Labor union. The barten-
ders' organization has therefore furnished a
list of SO called ''scab" saloons, the propri-
etors of which they denounce as not only
hostile to organized labor but who do not
wish working men to patronize them. The
union regularly publishes this list in a
weekly paper in order to bring the recall
citrants to terms. About twenty men, 1t is
said, compose the entire union.
