SUPREME COURT ENTERS NEW RULE
Oycrturns u Practice that Has Long


Overturns IL Practice that Has Long
Obtained.
At its last sitting the supreme court made
a ruling in a case appealed from Douglas
county which completely oyerturns a prac-
tice which has obtained In this county to
greater or less extent for several years, re-
garding the time within which a bill OF ex-
ceptions may be filed Under the rule an
appellant is allowed forty days from the
end Of the term of the district court at
which a case is tried in which to file his bill
of exceptions with the supreme court. At
the expiration of this time the appellant may
make a proper showing and secure an addi-
tional forty days. 1t has been customary to
take still further time by making showing
that the reporter has been unable to prepare
the transcript of the testimony. Tlis prac-
tice has obtained since the ruling of the
supreme court in the case of Richards against
the state in the Twenty-second Nebraska, in
which the court held that a party could not
be deprived of his bill of exceptions on ac-
count of the inability of the reporter to fur
nish the transcript within eighty days.
The ruling in question was made In the
case Of Horbach against Omaha, being
decision sustaining a motion to quash the

ground that the bill was not prepared and

DEPOT COMMITTEE GETS TO WORK.
Delegation Named to Confer with the
Ininn Pacific.

Delegation Named to Confer with the
Union Pacific.
A committee of the newly formed Union
Depot league, consisting of ]. II. Dumont,
Mayor Broatch, Lyman Richardson, DIR.
George l.. Miller, 4. l.. Reed, Judge Doane.
A. Hospe, and G. NJ. Hitchcock, met in the
Commercial club rooms yesterday afternoon
to formulate plans for securing the erection
of a new depot. The greater portion of
the time was occupied in an informal dis
cussion and consisted largely of the recital
of an interview which Dr. Miller had with
President and Receiver S II. H. Clark of
the Union Pacific. MIR. Clark, 80 the doctor
stated had expressed himself willing and
anxious to do all in his power toward the
erection of a union depot at the foot of
Farnam street In doing so he was of the
opinion that he voiced the sentiments of all
the officials of his road. The fact, however,
that the road was In receivers hands
and would probably eventually be toreclosed,
prevented any action being taken at the
present time. The unsettled condition of the
roads finances made 1t an impossibility for
the receivers to promise anything, although
1t was probable that the road might enter
into a union depot compact with others If
forced to do so, on account of self interests
Mr. Hitchcock was of the opinion that
the Burlington meant business in its late
announcement to build at Tenth and Pacific
streets, ana ne Hdu DecH informed lHal
either of two plans under adyisement by
the officials of the road would be adopted
in tho near future. The first plan contem
plated the building of joint depot for the
Rock Island, Burlington and Milwaukee and
would cost approximately s35O0O0. The
second scheme was for a station for the
Burlingtons uses alone, the cost of which
would be considerably less than the first
named structure. He thought 1t improbable
that the Union Pacific would finish the old
building as he was informed that the yard
room of the company would be inadequate to
the transaction OF even its own business, eX-
elusive of other roads which might wish
to use the same depot.
Upon motion of Mr.. Hitchcock Judge
Doane was elected permanent chairman of
the committee with A. L. Reed as secretary.
Upon a second motion of Mr. Hitchcock it
was decided TO wait upon President Clark
and Receiver Oliver w. Mink of the Union
Pacific and get definite idea al to what
the road proposed TO do or could do in con-
nection with the depot matter. They would
be invited to meet the committee in the
Commercial club rooms Monday afternoon.
The motion was carried. The meeting then
adjourned until Monday at ouch an hour as
the chairman shall select.
