DEWEY SAILOR IN COURT
Frank Young, alias Bradbury, Before Judge
Baker for Forgery.
HE HELPED UNCLE SAM At MANILA BAY
Leaving the Navy lie Drifts Into
Omaha and becomes Involved in
Questionable Transaction
-Lcnicncy Extended.

Clad from head to foot in sailor garb. EN-
bellished with the insignia of Uncle Sam,
Frank Young, alias H. c. Bradbury, left the
county Jail in custody OF a deputy sheriff
yesterday and appeared before Judge
Baker to answer the charge of forgery.
Young has established the fact that he
was in tho battle OF Manila and that nat
urally attracted more than ordinary atten-
tion. About the first of the year, having
left the navy, he drfted to Omaha and went
on spree. While in that condition it is
alleged that he forged check for S36 sign
ing the name OF George A. Swift. II. Green
cashed the check TO the amount of S2S. He
didn't have the entire sum and Young said
ho would call again for the difference Mr..
Green turned the check over to others in
tho regular routine OF business and it was
several days BEFORE its bogus nature was
revealed. The paper was dated January 81,
and as soon as tho disclosure came Young
was arrested He has been in Jail ever since.
When he was arraigned before Judge
Baker the county attorney dismissed the
forgery charge and permitted Young to
plead guilty to obtaining money under false
pretenses. A fine of SIS and costs was en-
tered.
Much sympathy was expressed for the
jail sentence in lieu of the fne although
he lacks the money to square accounts. The
fine simply stands as a judgment against
him and If he ever has the money and is
within the jurisdiction of the court he will
be expected to pay it. Young was very
thankful for the leniency extended and de-
clares that he will seek employment and re-
deem himself. The fact that he was men
tally irresponsible when he committed the
crime was taken into consideration by the
court, together with the fact that he did a
sailors share toward the Manila bay tr-
umph and that he has been in jail so many
months.
Young is about 80 years old and looked
splendid in his sea-going uniform. despite
the fact that a Jail pallor has settled over
his face.
How he happened to land in Omaha is
more or less of mystery. He says he
Just dropped in here" He has Travelled
the world from end to end and is the most
cosmopolitan character Judge Baker has had
to deal with for long while.

The injunction proceedings brought by
members Of the North Omaha Improvement
club against the city, to prevent the main
teuance of pest house in the north end,
was called before Judge Dickinson yes
terday but on account OF the viaduct in
junction. which had precedence on the
docket, it was continued until Monday.
Judge Dickinson estimates that the viaduct
hearing will occupy all the time until Mon
day. Attorney Richardson explained to the
court that the burning of the pest house in
Miller park had but little to do with the
case. since the effort is to restrain the city
from maintaining pest house anywhere
in that locality. Assistant City Attorney
Scott argued that the removal OF the house
in question practically ended the proceed
ings. Judge Dickinson said he did not care
to hear anything further on the case until
II is called.

VIADUCT CASE IS ON TRIAL
After Numerous Delays Hearing is Taken Up
by Judge Dickinson,
LENGTHY AFlDAWTs ARE BEING READ
Property Owners of south sevcn-
teenth street Unite i'm Vigorous
Protest Against the Closing
of that Thoroughfarc.

The Sixteenth street viaduct Injunction
has at last, after numerous delays, reached
hearing. Proceedings were begun yester-
day before Judge Dickinson in equity
court.
No verbal testimony is being taken, every
thing having been put In the form of afii-
davits, the general trend of which is to
show that the viaduct means the closing OF
South Seventeenth street and that the clos
Ing OF that thoroughfare will entail serious
damage to property and to business interests
in that locality. The several plaintiffs,
prominent among whom are the Paxton &
Vierling Iron works people, are energetic
in their effort to enjoin the city from clos
ing their street. One of the most interest
ing Of the afhdavits is that of Mr.. Vierling,
the manager. He declares that II Seven
teenth street Is closed II will neCessitate the
removal of his companys immense plant
and that in looking for a location some
other city may be selected. Numerous
owners OF rental property have added their
affidavits to the general protest
The reading OF these afIidavits consumed
several hours. City Attorney Con-
nell says he has no uneasiness
but that the municipality will make the
proper showing before the court. The plain
tlffs are equally hopeful. One point that
allegation that the ordinance authorizing
the viaduct was not read in full before
being placed on it's passage, as required by
law.
The ordinance. generally known as 1.-The
viaduct bill" was enacted by the city coun-
Gil at it's meeting on the night OF October
3, and ever since that date the South Seven
teenth street people have been at work to
render 1t void.
The reading OF the afiidavts proceeded
much more rapidly than was expected, con-
sdering the volumnous array. Following
the emphatic affdavits Of the plaintiffs came
the defense with sworn statements from City
Engineer Andrew Rosewater and Council
man STUNT. The substance of their testi-
mony was that the Seventeenth street cross
ing is a menace to public safety. City En-
gineer Rosewater accompanied his affidavit
with blue print showing very clearly the
topography of the territory involved in the
controversy.
The argument set forth by City Attorney
Connel is that the Sixteenth street viaduct
does not necessarily mean the closing of
Seventeenth street, and that before the street
can be closed subsequent Legislation will be
necessary.

Chief of Police Carroll reports that III ar

l4l were discharged by the police Judge.
Nine were ordered out of the city and six
were held to the district court Twelve cases
are pending and four were sent to the county
jail, -Four were fined and one was sent to
the Home OF the Good Shepherd. Many will
no doubt be surprised to learn that out of
l' arrests made in month only four were
hned. In some cities of less size than South
Omaha the police court fines amount to a
great deal more than they do here, and as

The night school will start next Monday

bers of the board that this number will de-
crease after the first night, but If not an ad-
ditional teacher will be engaged. Prof
Joslyn has been secured to teach the night
classes for the time being, and 1t is asserted
that his experience qualities him for the
position. All grades will be taught, so that
those who desire to learn need have no hesi-
fancy in attending, The rooms to be used
in the High school building will be selected
by Superintendent Wolfe and all arrange
ments will be completed before Monday
night, when the school opens.

Considerable money was won and lost on
the election in South Omaha Most all bets
were paid yesterday and many went around
with their pockets bulging out. while others
were seen with scarcely the price of a
cigarette. The bulk of the bets made were
on Broadwell and the judicial ticket Many
made wagers on Baker and won, while those
who considered Shields winner did not fare
SO well. The election returns printed in The
Bee were considered the basis of settling
disputes, and wagers were paid on the re-
suits printed In yesterdays paper. 1t is hard
to estimate the amount of money which
changed hands here on account of the cleo
tion but it is safe to say that at least s., 900
was Wagered.
