CAR SERVICE ON AMES AVENUE
North Omaha People not Inclined TO
Relinquish Their Fight for
six Minutes.

Councilmen Mount, Hascall, Lobeck and
Zimman were present at the meeting OF
the North Omaha Improvement club, but
through some misunderstanding few mem
bers of the club were in attendance.
There was much complaint from the com
mittee on sidewalks and crossings because
persons unknown have torn up crosswalks
in various parts of the Fifth and Sixth
wards, some Of the walks having been re-
moved recently. The matter Is to be brought
to the attention Of the Board OF Public
Works.
The important question before the club
was the matter of the restoration of the
street car service on Ames avenue west Of
Twerty-fourth street.
E. Z. French brought the matter up, say
ing that the matter was In the hands of
the council. Mr. Lobeck, when called upon
said he favored giving the people the
service they desired. At tho request Of
the chairman Mr.. French rehearsed the
events leading up to the present condi-
tion, saying that the company for two
hours iu tie evening operates a stub sup
posed to give six-minute service; that
this service averages about twelve
minutes. The matter was discussed by the
members at length. s. r. Singley stated
that to the petition presented to the coun-
ell there we're go names attached and
that nothing has been heard from that petit
tion since.
Judge Hascall thought II would be a
good idea for the members OF the council
to go over the line to see it's condition
for themselves; that they would then be
In a position to take action in the matter.

vored the proposition to restore the serv-
| ice, but that he had had no opportunity
to vote on the proposition. He advised the
club members to visit the council meeting
in a body and insist upon their rights.

COUNTY ATTORNEY COMPROMISES.
Allows Roosevelt and veacb to Plead
Guilty to Petit Larceny.

The county attorneys Office made an
other OF its characteristic exhibitions Of in
competency yesterday in criminal court
when the counsel in the case of the state
against Charles Roosevelt and John Veach
agreed on an arrangement among them
selves permitting the two men to plead
guilty to a charge of petit larceny when
they we're charged with grand larceny and
there sas good chance OF producing the
proof. The attorneys conducting the de-
fense are shrewd criminal lawyers and the
action Of the county attorney Is interpreted
as fear Of defeat IL tho case should be
brought to trial. Roosevelt and Veatch
are the men who are charged with stealing
brass journals from freight cars. The rail-
road detectives and the city police have
been engaged in running down the persons
who committed these depredations for more
than a year and Detectives Jorgeson and
Dempsey recovered stolen journals of the
value Of $50 sufficient to warrant the
charge OF grand larceny. Some OF the metal
was broken into pieces, the hammers with
which 1t was done having been found by
tho detectives. The broken metal being
worth less than the journals entire would
bring down the value 30 that grand larceny
could not be proved unless It could be
shown that the suspects had broken the
journals themselves. 1t was this fact that
| led the county attorney to compromise.

NO KLUSEMAN'S FATE
Coroner's Jury Unable TO Solve Nys-
terry Surrounding Dead Body
Found I'm CIump of Bushes.

An inquest was held Monday afternoon in
the case of Henry Kluseman. whose dead
body was found Sunday morning in the
clump Of scrub timber near South Omaha.
A dozen or more witnesses were examined,
but none could give any direct evidence as
to the cause of death. and the jury finally
returned a verdict to the effect that the
deceased had come to his death by some
means to this jury unknown"
Gustave Wickenberg, who found the body
while hunting rabbits, testified as TO its
appearance and surroundings. He said the
head was lodged between two oak saplings
about the size of his wrist. both OF which
were pressed closely, one against the right
temple, the other against the left jaw. II

said, and. being in weakened condition,
the result OF exposure and fasting. was
unable to extricate himself.
The body was so far advanced in decom-
position that signs of violence had there
been any, could not have been detected. The
clothing showed no such signs. The only
circumstance not entirely consonant with
the theory OF natural death was the pres
ence of pair Of overalls neatly folded.
upon which rested the left arm of the
corpse.
Mrs. Kluseman, widow Of the deceased,
testified that he left home on the morning
Of October 10. He bade her goodby as he
walked away. as was his custom Mrs.
Klusenan had not noticed that her hus-
bands mind was in any way affected, but
added that he had been morose and taci-
turn for nearly two weeks prior to his dis
appearance. II he had any enemies who
would be disposed to waylay him she did
not know Of them. The testimony of the
brother, John Kluseman. was substantially
the same.
DR.. Robert Lucke testified that he had
attended the deceased twice Immediately
prior to his disappearance. but had been
called to administer treatment for catarrh
of the stomach. He did not detect any
evidence of mental unbalance in his patient
The body was so badly decomposed that

his petition that in the year 1894 Melick

It was taken up and another note for like
amount deposited in its place; that this

was paid by two other notes. which were
not due at the time the suit was insti--
