KINCMANS WIN THE SUIT
Secure Restraining Order Against th'
Burlington Road Using an Alley.
JUDGE KEYsoR RtyERsEs JUDGE SCOTT
RniIroad Company Must Acquire the
Alley Through the LAW OF
Eminent Domain and
Pay Damages.

The injunction asked for by Kingman &
Co, restraining the Burlington Railroad
company from occupying the alley adjoining
the Kingman building as a driveway and ap-
proaeh TO the new depot at Tenth and
Mason streets was granted by Judge Keysor
yesterday. The order was made condi-
tional, reserying for the railroad company
the right 10 have the injunction set aside II
the company could by any legal proceedings
obtain the possession OF the alley.
In his decision Judge Keysor took direct
issue with the views of Judge Scott as
etated when he refused the injunction re-
straining the city from yacating the alley
some days ago, Judge Scott had appeared
10 confirm the absolute right Of the city 10
yaeate the alley Judge Keysor eontenied
that while the city had the undoupIed right
TO vacate the alley for its own use. II was a
wrong principle OF Law that a city could
exercise the right Of eminent domain 10
appropriate the property OF the city and
then turn IL over 10 a private corporation.
IN beginning Judge keysor briefly reviewed
Omaha daily bee., 1897-06-13

rect II the use OF the alley was essential
to the purposes OF the railroad company,
it should proceed to acquire 1t unGss the
law OF eminent domain and should pay the
damages resulting to property owners But
the law did not contemplate that the prop
erty could be acquired at the expense OF the
people OF Omaha and turned over into the
possession OF the railroad company
The news OF the courts decision against
the railroad company was received with
great surprise by Omaha railroad men.
After the decision of the first injunction
suit In favor OF the b. & ". railroad men
generally were OF the opinion that no
further hindrance TO the erection OF the
Burlington'e passenger station, according 10
the plans published a month ago by The
Bee would be encountered.

news OF the decision was telegraphed him

in the Black Hills on pleasure trip. The
latter stated, however. before leaving the
city that should the court decide against the

Of the contemplated improvements.

According to this statement made by the
company's general solicitor. IL is believed
by railroad men that the driveway only, and
not necessarily the entire building scheme.
will now be abandoned. The result will be
that the only entrance for vehicles will be
from Ninth street, which entrance would
otherwise have been used only by express
and baggage wagons.

MAY TEST THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
Discharge OF Marshal Thummers
stenographer Raises an Issue.

Discharge OF Marshal ThummeIs
stenographer Raises an Issue.
The extent to which the civil service law
shall apply to the office Of the United States
marshal will probably be tested before very
long. This will result from the removal OF
Miss Gertrude Kearney, who was once dep
uty under Marshal White. and has continued
to hold the position up TIL this time under
Marshal Thummel. The removal was made
Friday and Charles W. Pearsall Of Co
lumbus, formerly a court reporter in the
Eleventh judicial district. has been appointed
TO the place by Mr.. Thummel, The impress
sion has been around the postofice building
that the Office deputies were under the civil
service law. but they were TeapPointed by
Mr.. Thummel conditonsiiy.
Miss kearney some time ago wrote to the
attorney general for an expression Of his
opinion as TO her standing In the ONCE. and
he answered that she was on the civil service
list and would not have to be reappointed
and would not be required to take another
oath OF office. With this letter. she felt she
was secure in the place. The president of
the civil service commission also wrote TO
the local civil service board a couple Of
weeks ago stating that office deputies were
on the civil service list, and would not re-
quire reappointment; but that II one re-
signed, or a vacancy was created in any
other way, the place would be filled by pro-
motion OF by transfer.
Friday. however the marshal received
a telegram from Attorney General McKenna
10 the effect that the comptroller OF the
treasury had decided that all deputies went
out OF office with their chief and could not
draw pay unless they were resppOinted by
the new marshal. As the comptroller Is q
democrat. this authority was considered suf-
hcient 20 govern the actions OF the marshal.
Miss Kearney was therefore notified OF the
new decision, and her connection with the
Office ceased Friday night

Indicated by Judge Scott in the case OF
Kingman against the city-had the city the
right 10 vacate the alley and turn IL over
10 the Burlington railroad7
NOTICE NOT SUFFICIENT.
Judge Keysor declared that the right Of
ingress and egress 10 the building was a
property right, and to take il away was
TO take away property. The party taking
il was just much bound to make proper
compensation as II IL had taken the lot itself.
The evidence before the court showed that
when the appraisers had been appointed by
the city TO appraise the damages resulting
from the vacation Of the alley, they had
notified Kirgman Co. to appear before
them and be present at the appralsement.
! When the injunction was applied for be-
fore Judge Scott and temporary restrain
ing order issued, they had adjourned in
definitely and after the injunction had been
denied they proceeded TO meet and make
the appraisement, simply calling up the at
torney for Kingman Co. by telephone less
than half an hour before the appraisement
was made. This was not reasonable notice
according to his Interpretation Of the law.
The court took up the question OF the
| right OF the city 10 yacate the property.

companied by the citation Of numerous au-

CLEAN THE SIDEWALKS
Slippery Condition Very Danger
Gus to Pedestrians.
TEXT OF THE ORDINANCE
The Police Force VIII Get After the
Offenders With a Sharp Stick
Wonder That More People
Do Not Get Hurt.

The sidewalks of Anaconda are in a
horrible condition so far as sickness
is concerned. The crowds that have
lined the sidewalks since the holiday
trade began have in a measure made
the condition worse than ever In many
places the walks are a solid sheet of
Ace, so slippery that only those whose
feet are encased in new rubbers are
able to walk over them. The wonder is
that not more accidents occur. through
falls upon the hard surface. Yesterday
number of people were seen to slip
and fall, and 1t is strange that arms or
legs We're not broken.
The danger of slippery sidewalks is
enhanced by the iron thresholds of bus
mess houses. which in many cases have
become so slippery that it is with the
greatest difficulty that one can stand
upon them. Boys who skate upon the
sidewalks have also contributed their
share to make the way of the pedes-
TRAN hard one.
OF course, everybody is busy during
the holiday rush, but that can hardly
be given as an excuse for failure to
take care of the sidewalks. One SER
souS bone fracture Wouiu cost more
than would be the total cost of keep
ing every walk in town free of snow
There has been ample time since the
last snowfall to have cleaned up the
walks and the failure to do so is not
creditable to those whose duty it is
to attend to this matter. There is am
ordinance which provides penalty for
those who do not take care of their
walks, and Chief of Police White has
determined that the ordinance shall be
rigidly enforced. The text of the or
dinance, No. So, is as follows:
Section lit shall be the duty of
the occupant of any premises within the
ritV limits keen the cidauva1lfS in
front of and adjoinging the premises
so occupied clean and safe for pedes-
TRANS, and such occupant shall, with
all reasonable dispatch, remove snow,
ice, slush, mud or other impediment
to safe and convenient travel. and pre-
vent the continuance and accumula-
ton of the same. Every person falling
to comply with the provisions of this
section shall be deemed to have COM
mitted a nuisance, and upon conviction
thereof shall be fined not less than s.
nor more than $40 and COSTS and a
like sum for each day that said
nuisance is continued
Section 12.-Any person who shall
throw of permit to be thrown, or allow
to run or flow. or permit to run or flow
any water or other liquid from or out
of any premises owned or occupied or
controlled by him, into or upon the
sidewalks or payements of the city.
shall be deemed guilty of committing
a nuisance, and upon conviction thereof
be fined in a sum not less than so nor
more than $780,
BY an amendment to the latter sec
ton it is made operative only from
October to May.
AS this is one of the months during
which the section is in force, the habit
that some have fallen into of throw
ing water upon the sidewalks will have
to be discontinued or the offenders will
be made to suffer.

ANACONDA NE WS.
PROSPEROUS CHRISTMAS
Good Will Prevails in the Homes
of Anaconda.
IT'S A DAY OF HAPPINESS
Never Before Has There Been a More
Prosperous Christmas Day Than
That of 1So7-The Holiday
Trade Never Better.

This day in Anaconda will be spent in
Various ways. Thousands will attend di-
vine services at the churches, the pro-
grammes and announcements of whose
services We're published in yesterday 5
Standard. Thousands will stay at home
with their families and eat their Christ
mas dinner beside the cheerful fireSide,
surrounded by friends, and pass the day
in social intercourse. Some there are
who will visit with friends in round
about cities, others will visit the theater.
and, all in all, the day will be one long
to be remembered.
Anaconda is strictly city of homes,
as is indicated by the thousands of neat
any cozy little cottages which extend
from one end of the town to the other.
In all of these there will be joy and
good will, for in no city will Christmas
day call forth more happiness than in
city of homes. Here the hard-work-
ing men who have labored faithfully
throughout the entire year for those
they love will seat themselves at the
head of board laden with the bless
ings of a bountiful Providence and en-
JOY to their hearts content the day
upon which their Savior was born.
Christmas day is children's day, if it
is day for anybody. None there are
so poor but that their children's hearts
clothing, of sWeetmeats and of the thou
sand and one things that are on this
day the portion of the little ones. The
children of the rich may fare better
than those of the less favored, but
their shouts Of gleeful mirth, as the par
GELS are united, the covers removed from
boxes, and their precious contents re-
vealed. will be no more lusty, nor their
childish laughter ring with more genu-
inc music than the children of those
who toll for their daily bread.
J There is need of no more words to tell
of the happiness this day will bring. The
merchant is happy in the recollection
of a prosperous holiday trade; the la
borer is happy that the day finds him
well and strong and in the memory of
year we'll spent: the housewife is
happy in the love of her husband in the
health of her children. and she goes
about the preparation of her Christmas
dinner with gladness in her eye; the
child is happy in the possession of toys
and in the knowledge Of the kindness
his parents have lavished upon him
since last Christmas day went into the
past. Why. then, if these things be so,
should not those who have enough and
to spare give literally and generously
to their poor fellow creatures that they
too. may say that Christmas had some
thing for them?
