EARLY SETTLER PASSES AWAY
Jesse Hoyt Lacey, Pioneer Grocer of
Nebraska, Dies at His Home
Friday of Pneumonia.

Jesse Hoyt Lacey, a pioneer resident o.
Omaha, died at his home, corner Of Eleventh
and Martha streets, Friday evening, after 9
few days illness. due to pneumonia. Mr.
Lacey was 73 years of age, and, although
for the last four years he had been an in.
valid, his death was not expected, as he
was apparently in good spirits and not suf-
fering more than usual.
Early in the week, when cold weather
began, Mr.. Lacey complained Of pains in the
lungs During the next day or two he was
subjected to intermittent attacks Of lung
fever and his strength failed slowly. Those
Gus, but did not anticipate his demise, the
news of which will be learned with regret
by large circle OF friends and acquaint-
anceS.
Mr.. Lacey was one Of Omaha's early set
tiers, having moved to the city to make
his home here in 1859. He was always q
prominent citizen, as for many years after
his arrival he was engaged in mercantile
pursuits, and on one or two occasions was
elected to public office. Mr.. Lacey was born
in Cadiz, Harrison county Ohio, July 8, 1926
From 1S45 to 1886 he held the position OF
postmaster at Laceyville, Ohio, and for sew
eral years after that time he was engaged
in the book and publishing business in Gin
cinatti.
Associated with John Mccormick, under
the firm name Of Lacey & Mccormick, Mr.
Lacey established the first wholesale grocery
in the city or territory. This was in the
spring of 1862 Not long afterwards the
firm was changed to include Josiah s. Fin
ley and Albert Mccormick, the name being
John Mccormick & Co. In the old Pixies
Peak mining days the establishment did an
<,,r f,ht t,x 4.
miners, and for long time their annual
sales reached an enormous figure.
In 1S69-7O Mr.. Lacey served as a member
of the city council. During the succeeding
three years he occupied position as agent
of the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific and
the Chicago & Northwestern railroads, and
then engaged in the retail grocery business
until he was appointed United States gov
ernmeut storekeeper in 1880. Another posi-
tion Mr.. Lacey held about 1870 was that OF
government inspector of Indian supplies.
Twelve years ago Mr.. Lacey accepted a
position as custodian OF the First National
bank building, continuing to serve there as
long as his health would permit. Owing TO
suustroke three years ago he became partly
paralyzed and was ever afterward an in
valid, requiring the attention of nurses most
of the time. Mr.. Lacey was married to Miss
Catherine T. Miser of GAINESVILLE, o., in 1S47.
Mrs. Lacey survives him. Mr. Lacey was
a member OF the Ancient Order of Free and
Accepted Masons' lodge, chapter and COM
mandery, and of the Scottish rite, thirty
second degree.
Details OF the funeral have not been ar
ranged. Services will be conducted at the
home by Rev. Dean Fair Monday morning,
and the interment will be at Prospect hill.

American school Furniture Company
Denies BEING n Trust.
Another OF the great corporations,
against which Attorney General Smyth is
pro .eeding under ihe antitrust law OF 1897,
has come into the district court with its
answer. The American School Furniture
company admits that 1t is a corporation,
organized under the laws OF New Jersey,
but denies all the other things alleged in
regard to It, Specifically, 1t denies that II
Is doing business in Nebraska without per-
mission and contrary to the laws OF the
state, or that 1t has entered into any sort
OF combination with the other parties to
the suit, firms engaged in the same busi-
ness. 1t denies that II has set aslde $500
600 as a fund with which to kill opposition
and declares that 1t is not associated with
other firms with the purpose of decreasing
the manufacture OF school furniture and
raising Its prices
The company asserts that the state can
not ask for an injunction preventing it
from doing business in the state until 1t
has first been convicted of the misdemeanor
mentioned in the antitrust law, namely,
doing business contrary to the provisions
OF that same statute. No complaint has
ever been filed, the answer says. nor any
indictment ever returned against It,
The answer then attacks the constitu-
tionality of the law upon the following
grounds:
That 1t permits the state to deprive per-
sons Of property without due process OF law
and authorizes unreasonable seizures OF
persons and property; that 1t compels per-
sons accused in criminal cases ia give evi-
dence against themselves; that it's opera
tion would injure defendants and leave thom
no remedy; that 1t is an ex post facto law
nd ip,ra ha NJ q re
that It's title does not mention all the sub
jects the law treats Of; that 1t seeks to
control and regulate and even to interfere
with interstate commerce. contrary to the
United States constitution.
Finally the answer denies the turisdic-
tion of the state courts for the reason that
the suit involves more than $4,000 and Is
between one state and the citizens of a
different state.
The answer Is filed by John N. Baldwin,
attorney for the company. 1t is interesting
to note that the law involved in this case
has just been declared unconstitutional in
one OF the Omaha justice courts.

influence of liquor, were having some
trouble. During the progress OF the row
DeMolns was knocked down, and in falling

membered that mile the fremen were work

negligence upon the part OF the defendant,
averring that its wires were not properly in

care in handling the current.
