CITY IS TO PROTECT ITSELF
VIII SUE the Owners of Lots Along West
Broadway.
SPECIAL ASSESSMENT IS NEGLECTED
Payment for the improvements IL
Now Past Due and the city
Has Been Holding the
Sack Long Enough

City Attorney Hazelton is making prepara-
tions to bring suit against the owners OF
lots on Lower Broadway who have become
delinquent in the payment of special taxes
for the cedar block paving About $4,000
is involved, and under the assessment for
the Improvement the city is responsible for
the amount and has recourse in turn against
the owners of the property. These lots
have been offered at tax sale for the last
two years and have not been bid in, as
not even the tax title dealers wanted them.
The next regular tax sale will commence
Monday and as soon as 1t is over the ac-
tion by the city will be commenced.
The assessments for the Improvement
along the street we're made in the fall OF
1883, when the first fifth of the cost of the
work was due. The lots average about $3.50
apiece for the entire paving, and on the
lots in question only two or three Of the
ffths have been paid in. The last payment
is due this year and they will again be
offered at tax sale. The city authorities do
not expect any one to bid them in.
Mr.. Hazelton said yesterday that the
action he intended to bring was one usually
rCsorted to by municipal authorities for
protection where special improvement taxes
were due and the property could not be
disposed of at tax sale The suit would be
an action in equity and amount to about
the same as the regular foreclosure of a
lien. This would permanently establish the
claim of the city against the land. When
it was offered at tax sale the city would
be Obliged to buy it in to protect itself
City Attorney Hazelton says it is even pos
sblc for the city to go further and establish
its claim as a personal judgment against
the property owners. This he said, was
not contemplated, as 1t would be straining
a point to try and go outside of the value
of the lot to collect for any special inn
provement that had been made in front
of 1t. The majority of the lots on which
the specials are due are owned by few
parties. the single lot owners having paid
up for the most part.
The general tax sale this year will be
large, the delinquent list being one of the
largest ever published.

TROUBLE OVER A SMALL DEBT.
Nebraska Farmer Forced Into Court
ONCr N TrINinl MnIier.

Hon. Spencer Smith the newly appointed
assistant county attorney tried his first case
yesterday. II was a criminal action brought
in Justice Cooks tribunal wherein Mr.. and
Mrs. II. d. Carbee seek to have Wilbur Sax
ton punished for disposng of mortgaged
property, Attorney Smith secured a contin-
uance until today for the purpose of con-
ollting authorities. The testimony showed
that SaXton, who Is Nebraska farmer,
recently removed to this city. purchased a
power woodsaw from the Sandwich Manu-
featuring company for $40. He secured the
purchase price by giving a mortgage on the
saw, fifty cords of wood, a plow and some
other property, or about five times the Sc
curity that the Sandwich company asked.
The purchase was made last spring. SaXton
says he had an understanding with the
Sandwich people that he was to have per-
mission to saw the wood and sell II, to-
gether with other wood In the woodward he
has been running in the southern part of the
city. The last OF the wood was sold last
August SaXton had paid the saw notes as
they became due, and on December 1 he
owed but 81. For the purpose of working him
q deep injury, and to crafty personal spite,
Mrs. Carbee, Saxton alleges. went to the
Sandwich companys Office and by represent
ing that he was friend, succeeded in pur-
chasing the unpaid notes and secured the
mortgage. He then Immediately begun an
attachment suit, tying up SaXton's property.
This was followed by the filing of an in
formation, charging him with having di:po el
of mortgaged property. This offense, 1t was
alleged, consisted in the disposition of the
wood several months previous. The hearing
OF the case called up several law points that
Justice Cook desired time to investigate.
SaXton is getting after Carbee, and was
yesterday circulating a petition to have hio
commission as special policeman revoked.
Some of Carbee's neighbors have secured the
mayors permission for him to act as special
watchman in their neighborhood, and he has
been wearing tin star, and carrying a big
gun for some time The petition is directed
to the mayor and city council, and goes
pretty deeply into Carbees record Carbee is
the "ny drum major" who made some his
tory here several years ago.

that IIutter had been killed by Union Pa

attached to the railroad company, The crew
OF the fast mail did not know that a boy

An ordinance was passed by the city coun-
ell on September 1, 1SSS. regulating the
speed OF trains within the city limits. but
the state supreme court n few days ago
declared the ordinance void. The decision
was handed down on October II in the case
of Samuel Montgomery and Z. j. McNally
against the Union Pacific Railway company.
In the decision the court holds that the
ordinance was not published In newspaper
for one week as is required of all ordinances
with n penalty attachment. The records
showed that the ordinance was printed in
the Daily Stockman only once and for the
error indicated the judgment OF the lower
court was reversed. This decision leaves
the city without any ordinance governing
the speed of trains within the limits of the
city. A similar decision in relation TO the
same ordinance was handed down by the
federal court some time ago.

An arrangement was entered into between

plaintiff for damages on the ground that he

pious evening an hour after the time when
the ordinance declared they should be at

Judge McGee. The officers testified that
the boys had been warned very often to keep
off the streets at night, but had disobeyed.

but the judge turned deaf ear to all of
them and charged up fine of $3.50 against
each. Judge McGee, after administering a
strong lecture, suspended the sentence pend

The police have had instructions to look
