ing 1t to appropriate 81, 900 or as much
money as possible for a number of copies
Of j. Sterling Morton's history of Nebraska.

of the board hat DR.. Miller should place

sions from the commissioners in favor Of

all applications for cancellation Of taxes be-
ing accompanied by afadavits Of the yeti

sonally liable for taxes unlawfully RENTED.
In advertising for bids for prescriptions
for INDECENT persons the clerk was instructed
to divide the city into two districts with
Dodge street as the dividing line, so as to

GEPPNeR'S NEW YORK FIGHT
Detective De Forest Badly wounded
- n Result Of His Encounter
with the Young Man,

Chief White received a second message
from the chief Of police in Schenectady re.
q~uesting him to send warrants for Gem
ner's retention In case the New York author.
tiles are unable to convict him OF assault
with intent to kill Chief OF Detectives Frank
DeForest.
The chief also received a second letter Civ
Ing more complete details OF the arrest OF
Geppner. 1t seems from this letter that
DeForest and Detective Rynex saw Gepp-
ner and another man. supposed to be Won
Halter, on the main street Of Schenectady
on the afternoon Of November 21. Their
suspicious actions attracted the attention Of
the Officers, who followed them down the
street. They saw them enter a pawn shop
and leave q couple Of small revolvers.
When they came out the officers decided to
arrest them as suspicious characters. De.
Forest placed his hand on Geppner's shout
der while Rynex took Won Halter by the
arm. DeForest had hardly caught Geppner
before the latter wheeled and struck the
officer over the left eye with a heavy re.
volver. DeForest fell to the walk, striking
his head on an iron step. which deprived him
Of what little sense the blow OF Geppner
had left him.
Rynex was naturally anxious to capture
the maj who had struck his chief so when
Won Halter 1erked away from him and ran
down the street he directed a policeman p
pursue the fleeing crook while he turned his
attention to Geppner who had made no at.
tempt to run. Geppner was overpowered aud
searched, two heavy revolvers being taken
from him, while his pockets were found
filled with forty-flve caliber cartridges.
Won Halter ran down the street with the
officer after him and evidently escaped to
Amsterdam. He is known there under the
name Of Scott Hurd. Two burglaries have
been committed since his escape and he 10
looked upon as the perpetrator. An overcoat
worn by Geppner was identified as one Of
two stolen In Amsterdam a day or two be-
fore the men were accosted by the officers.
DeForest Is said to be In a very bad con-
dition, although 1t IL believed he will re.
cover. Chief Campbell has informed Chief
White that the Omaha authorities are the
first who have asked for Geppner.
