They wanted the board to turn over for

balance that remains in the fund that was
raised on the exposition bond issue in addi-

George Craig Goes to Jail in Default Of Five
Thousand Dollars,
BROTHER WANTS TO WHIP HIM IN COURT
Has Served One Term in Pcnitcntinry
for n Crime Committed by
George and Docsn't want
to DO IL Again.

1t the conclusion Of the examination of
George Craig, Judge Gordon bound the pris-
Cner over to the district court in the sum of
$4,000. Judge Helsley had a talk with Mrs.
Bddenhop and josephine GRADER. which con.
vinced him that If given the opportunity
they might leave the city through fear Of
being injured by Craig. They stated to the
attorney that Craig had visited the house
prior to his arrest and had threatened to
kill both If they prosecuted him. This fact
was reported to Judge Gordon, who in
creased the bond to $1,000.
George Craig was approached by his
brother. Charles, after the examination, the
latter having heard that George intended to
swear the crime on him. The meeting was
not marked by any great display of brotherly
love. Charles opened the conversation en-
phatically with:
You cowardly hound, | served one term
in the penitentiary for you and do not pro-
pose to take another. | nm going to thrash
you right here"
Before he could make any move, however.
the bystanders interfered and George Craig
was removed from the court room.
The story related by Charles Craig is
unusual and is suggestive of a brothers. in
gratitude. Several years ago the two young

Judge Helsley bound them over. Then
negotiations commenced to throw the burden
of the crime on Charles, because he was
single and George married. Mrs. Craig man
aged to raise some money and it was agreed
between the two brothers that Charles Craig
should receive $500 If he would plead guilty
and thus clear his brother George of COM
Dlicity. He consented tO this bprausp hn
felt sorry for his brothers wife and did
not want to see her suffer. He was sent
to the penitentiary for one year and that
is all he ever received, because the $500 is
still due him.
Having served his term he came to Omaha
and has been living at 1916 Cunning street,
where the rest of the persons interested in
the suit make their home. He says he did
not know until Tuesday afternoon that
George intended to swear the crime of
criminally assaulting Josephine GRADER upon
him or there would not have been any
necessity for an officer.

BELL is RATHER PREVIOUS
So Says Il School OfIicial In Comment
ing on His Recent COmmu-
nicRtiOn.

President Bell of the Central Labor union
has written a communication to the Board
of Education, in which he scores that body
for failing TO enforce a resolution passed
last year, providing that on and after Oc-
tober /, 1898, all new men employed by the
board in its building and repair gangs should
be members OF labor unions. President Bell
claims that the resolution has been recently
violated by the employment of several nom
union painters and carpenters in the work
of renovating the board rooms in the city
hall.
II think this is a specimen of adamantine
nerve on the part of President Bell" de-
clared a school official in commenting on
the matter. ''The board did pass a resolu-
ton such as he mentions, but it passed
more than that. 1t provided that this rule
should be adopted only on condition that
the labor unions relnstate the men now emf
ployed by the board who were sus-
pended over a year ago and remit
their fines. This condition has never been
fulflled-the men are still suspended and
fines stand against their names. Under such
circumstances President Bell is rather pre-
yious with his complaint"
AS a matter Of fact, the strike that was
declared by the painters and carpenters
unions hDOul Il year dso 10 sun III eAsA-
ence, although the board Is apparently moi
affected by 1t. Several conferences have
been held between board officials and labor
representatives for the purpose of declaring
the strike OFF, but the labor unions have
never consented to remit the fines OF the sus
pended men.
The board is now considering a resolution
to raise the wages Of painters and car
penters from 80 to 50 cents an hour. In the
case CT the former, this wage is what was
demanded by them recently, and which has
been granted by all painting concerns in the
city, with one exception. The carpenters
however, have not asked their employers to
raise their wages yet, the union scale being
30 cents an hour. There is consequently
some opposition TO the resolution.

any assurance that he would secure the
coveted position. Under the rules Of the
department the names of applicants for po-
sitions must be taken from the list furnished
by the government, the postmaster being
compelled to select from the three names
standing at the head of the list. These in
dividuals get their names at the head by
standing high in the competitive eXamina-
tion, so that If a postmaster should for any
reason remove an employe he would OF ne
cessity be compelled to select one Of the
three names submitted to him, in which
event there would be no certainty that he
would secure a person who would be more
satisfactory than the one removed.

Injunction Proper Remedy to Prevent
Purchase of School Sites.


The suit brought by Joseph Redman as a
taxpayer TO have the recent purchases or
school sites by the Board of Education set
aside has been defeated by the action OF
Judge Powell in sustaining the demurrer
filed by the board. The suit followed the
purchase of the additional property adjoin>
ing the Cass street school site from A, F..
Tukey for $12, 500, and various other puF-
chases, which swelled the aggregate ex-
penditure to $31 800.
Redman represented in his petition that
the board has no right to acquire this prop
eTty without submitting the proposition to
a vote of the people, and he also asserted
that the board has paid 0,000 more than
the property Is worth. The demurrer was
a general denial Of the facts alleged in the
petition, and it was argued at length. The
court decided that the action brought by
Redman was not the proper form Of judi
ciai proceedings and therefore sustained the
demurrer. He said that at the time when

not entirely clear on one or two points, he
was let off with a sentence of one year in
the penitentiary to date from February 10.
Luke Long, who was found escaping from
a butcher shop in company with a ham, as

he did not know what he was doing. He
solemnly promised never to drink another

Judge Baxter ruled on a point of some
Importance in regard to the jurisdiction OF
the courts in the course OF a trial in the
county court yesterday afternoon. 1t oc-
Cured in a case in which Peter Won Lackum
sued Miranda Winch for a balance alleged
to be due for professional services. In
reply the defendant set up the contention
that Won Lackum had never properly Sc
cured a certificate from the state board
that entitled him to practice medicine; that
he had treated her for an ailment that she
did not have and that she is consequently
entitled to $1,000 damages on account of
the said mistreatmeut. The plaintiffs at
torney moved to strike out the clause in her
answer that referred to the manner in
which Won Lackum had secured his certif-
cate, but this was overruled by the court.
Judge Baxter held. however, that the courts
could not go back of the certificate itself.
II the state board had issued such a %ccrtii-
cate it must be presumed that it was prop

mitted tending to show the contrary.
