CROSBY no THE ENTRY.
Not Satisfied with Ruling OF County
Com n,~isstoucrs

Communication crs.
The injunction case in which the county
commissioners are restrained from entering
upon their records a judgment in the case
OF Samuel NJ. Crosby was taken UP by Judge
keysor just before noon yesterday.
This was the case in which the Board
OF County commissioners found Crosby, JUS
tce OF the peace for the city of Omaha.
guilty Of malfeasanCe In Office and passed
a resolution declaring the office vacant.
The Judgment In the case was not formu-
lated until the next day. however. and a
restraining order was issued by Judge Key
sor, enjoining the commissioners from enter
ing the judgment upon their records. The
contention OF the plaintiT. Crosby. is that
the board, which has judiciary powers sim
liar to those of a Justice OF the peace. lost
further jurisdiction in the case by adjourn-
ing before entering a judgment in the case,
and that therefore the board has no power
TO take any further action.
Assistant County Attorney Jefferis rep-
resented the commissioners in the case and
TOOK the position that the action of the
board in adjourning, while II was a mistake,
was not a mistake which deprived the board
OF further jurisdiction.
Judge Koysor took the matter under adj
visement and gave notice that he would
render his decision next Saturday morning.

1RfSfn q ATi VT ri ~ aTP
One day last week warrants were issued to
the Martin Lumber company for $5,1SS for
the viaduct repairs, and Friday the lumber
company sued the city for the amount. Ac-
cording to the contract thecompany was to
wait for two weeks after the issuing of the
warrants before suit was brought. These
warrants are drawn on The @ and l. street
viaduCt fund, - which was presumably created
by assessing the cost of the repairs up
against the Union Pacific and the Union
Stock Yards Railway companies. The rail
roads have not paid any of this assessment
and it is presumed they will not. Some
taxpayers held that the city attorney ought
to fight the case on the ground that the
lumber company should look to the railways
for its pay and not to the city. The city,
it is said by lawyers. is powerless to make
a contract to confess judgment in a case
like this.
Citizens interested in this case are watch
ing the movements of city officials and in
functions Fave been threatened as soon as
the council, by resolution, directs the city
attorney to confess judgment for the amount
sued for.
While on this subject it might be interest
ing for the people to know what the two
viaducts have cost the taxpayers so far.
The l. street Viaduct cost, when built, in
Guiding extras, $4lS7o. The Q street con
tract price was $S7, 800. To this amount
must be added 1893 for the retaining wall
at the east approach of the bridge, which
was washed out once and had to be rebuilt.
The repairs in 1895 cost s5,1SS. When the
v~iaducts were built in 1889, SIS. 900 in
bonds, to run for five years at 6 per cent
interest, were issued to pay for the same.
These bonds ran out and funding bonds to
take their place were issued, to draw 5
per cent interest. The expense can be
summarized as follows: Total first cost,
$SS. 1858; repairs, $5.1SS; interest on $7S. 900
bonds, at 6 per cent for five years, $23 400 ;
interest on funding bonds to, ,3atc, $500;
which makes a total Of SIPS, 1856. This does
not include repairs made by the street
commissioner, the building of steps to the
q street bridge, the repairs to the iron
piers. etc. Altogether, the two bridges
have cost the taxpayers in seven years
about 1926, 900.
Now both viaducts are badly in need of
paint. and should have it in order to pro-
tect the iron work, but there is no money
to pay for the work. The wearing off
OF the paint brings to light some very poor
material that was used by the contractors.
Even today, with all the money that has
been spent, neither of the viaducts are con
sidered any too safe, and it is a question
whether they would hold up a heavily loaded
motor train should the car line be extended
around Thirty-third street.

by Judge Gordon.
After a preliminary hearing that lasted
several days Thomas Eakins was bound over
to the district court by Judge Gordon in
the sum of $4,000 to answer to the charge
of attempting to criminally assault little
Eta Wilson. The girl is the daughter of
the woman who was shot in a Thirteenth
street saloon during a scuflle with Eakins
several days ago.
Eakins testified in his own behalf. He
denied that he had laid hands on the girl,
but said he had simply gone to her bedside
to awaken her. He stated that he had
awakened her in the same way every Sun
day for a year past. The girl denied this
statement. She and her brother were the
only witnesses besides Eakins who were
called to the stand.

THE EAGLE SCREAMS.
Spain Cannot Juggle With Rights OF
American Citizens.

Washington, June 20.-Instructions OF
a direct and positive character have been
sent to the United States minister at
Madrid, Hannis Taylor. to make strong
representations to the Spanish govern
ment, with view to securing repara-
tion for indignities to DR.. Jose Delgado
and other American citizens in Cuba.
The Instructions went by mail some
days ago, and should reach Madrid about
the present time. A cablegram has been
sent 70 Mr. Taylor, at Paris, asking that
he return to Madrid as soon as he Is able
10 travel. in order to attend to the mat
ter. 1t is understood the purpose is not
so much to press a pecuniary claim at n
time when Spain is embarrassed, as 1t
is to insist on the right of full protection
to the persons Of American citizens in
Cuba.
Mr.. Olney's instructions were sent be-
fore meeting DIR. Delgado and his father,
who are now in the city, but their pres
ence here affords an opportunity to Sc
cure such full detail Of the indignity as
may become desirable, when MIR. Taylor
acts on his return TO Madrid.

ACID ON THE CAT.
Annie DumcOff Wanted Her Money
Back and Couldn't Get II.
Then She Had Revenge and Was Arrested
for a Serious Offense.

The only case In the Sixth District
Court this morning ives that OF Annie
Dumcoff, who was charged with tor
turing and abusing a dumb animal, to
wit, a cat. She pleaded guilty and was
held until TUESDAY for trial. Mrs. Dunn
co6 and her husband lived in the rear OF
359 North Main street. A few days ago
Dumcof went into Bernhardt III. Bron-
STEMS drug store, $40 North Main street,
and purchased a small vial OF carbolic
acid, which he took home. His wife told
him that he had not got what she wanted
him to, and requested him to return to
the drug store and change ii, but he did
not care to. 60 Mrs. Dumcon went herself.
she told the druggist that he had
made mistake, for the contents of
the bottle was not carbolic acid. Mr..
Bronstein examined II and found that
IL was all riSt4s, and so reported to the
woman, who persisted in her statement
hat a mistake had been made. The wo-
man wanted to argue the case and want
ed her money back, but this the proprie-
tor positively refused to do.
The woman then took the cork from
the viai, walked up to sn easy chair
where MIR. Bornstein's pet cat was sun
ming itself, and poured the contents over
poor tabby. The acid burned nearly all
OF the hair from the cats head and its
eyes were badly injured. The case prom
ises to be an interesting one. Mrs. Dun-
coff was arrested this morning by Special
Officer Smith on b half OF the Society for
the Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals.
