Claim IL Settled.

The sherif's Jury In the condemnation
proceedings brought by the Mason City q
Fort Dodge Railroad company against VIII
liam Weston and wife. returned a verdict
yesterday morning. placing the value OF the
property involved at $500. The property.
consisting Of four lots In Riddles sud-divi-
sion Is on Tenth avenue between Sixth and
Seventh streets. The acquisition Of this
property by the Great Western was made
necessary. owing to the refusal Of the city
council to permit the railroad TO extend
its freight depot ten feet into Ninth ave-
nue.. 1t Is said Weston will appeal from
the valuation placed on his property by the
sherin's jury in view of the fact that the
local agents Of the railroad had previously
offered him $4,000. which he refused.
The controversy etwee the Great West
ern and NJ. F. Rohrer over the purchase
Of the Rohrer tract east Of South avenue
was settled yesterday. the railroad pur.
chasing the entire tract for 5000. instead

tion brought by Rohrer In the district

ceedings will be dismissed.

MINDEN ORDINANCE INVALID
Defect I'm Recording It's Passage Lets
Henry Hes1ey Out OF
Court.

A defect in the recording Of the passage
Of the ordinance under which Henry He's
ley was charged with disturbing the
peace OF the community OF the town Of
Minden by interrupting q patent medicine
OUTFIT show. In the opera house, resulted
In Judge Thornell yesterday taking the
casa away from the jury and directing a
verdict for the defendant.
Hesley had been fined $50 by Mayor
Grow Of Minden and appealed to the dis
trict court. His trial was begun Friday.
At the close OF the testimony for the pros
ecution the defense introduced the record
Of the passage Of the ordinance under
which Hesley had been fined, and raised
the question Of its validity. The record
showed that the ordinance carried by the
vote of all the members present, but did
not show the ayes and hayes or the names
Of the aldermen who voted. Judge Thor
nell sustained the contention of the de-
Tense and instructed the Jury to return a
verdict for the defendant.
The defect in the ordinance also resulted
in the county attorney Diminishing the case
against Hesley. in which he Is charged
with resisting an oficer. as 1t grew out OF
the same trouble at the opera house.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC is our
Withdraws from Southwestern Pas
senEer Bureau Owing To Cost of
Maintaining same.

CHICAGO. March 1.-Notiee OF with
drawal from membership in the South
western passenger bureau was filed today
by the Southern Pacific road. The cause
given for the action was that the expense
OF maintaining the bureau since the with
dfawal OF the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
road a short time ago had become a bur-
den ana that the benefits derived from
membership under the prevailing condi-
lions were insufficient to compensate.
With thees two roads outside, railway ON
cials say the fate of the bureau seems to
be sealed and it's early dissolution Is pre-
dicted. Some Of the members hold to the
view that the dissolution OF the South
western bureau win be but the prelude to
a consolidation OF all passenger assaei-
ations west Of Chicago into one organi-
ration.

MAD RUN THROUGH STREETS
Charles Reina Leaps from Second Story
Window Of Hotel.
APPEARS LIKE ANIMATED srArUARY
Clad Only in skin-Fittine Under
Garments He Makes a sem
satiOnsI Spectacle in
Public.

Charles Riena, a boarder at the Kansas
City house, on Main street and Sixteenth
avenue, became demented early yesterday
morning and jumped from q ~second-story
window, clad only in his undergarments.
Reaching the ground without injury, he
dashed down the street until he ran into
the arms of Detective Smith, who took
him to the county Jail.
Riena refused to talk after being placed
In the county Jail. He stood in the cell
with his face to the wall during the
greater part Of the day until finally,
wearied out, 10 lay down and went to
sleep.
It is thought the mans home is in Kan
sas City. Toward the latter part of jan
uary he arrived In Omaha from Kansas
City and was the same day Engaged,
through an employmept' agency, as under
cook at he Grand hotel. Last Thursday.
after preparing breakfast, Riena walked
out Of the hotel, notifying the. clerk that
he had quit. but did not wait to get the
balance due him Of his wages.
Riena's manner seemed to indicate that
he was afraid of someone pursuing him
and as his rawlings were in the Italian Ian
guage, the officers at the county Jail were
unable to understand what he said.
Riena's case was investigated by the
commissioners on insanity yesterday aft
ernoon- They ordered him committed tenn
p~orsrily to st. Demands hospital. 1t is
thought Riena's condition may be possibly
the result Of heavy drinking.
Hans Frahm, n former resident and
saloon keeper Of this city, was brought
back from Omaha yesterday. where he had
been adjudged insane by the authorities of
Douglas county. The insanity COMMITS
sioners ordered him committed tempo
rarily to st. Bernard's hospital. Frahm
moved to Omaha from this city last Janu-
airy and stored his household goods here.
He is married and has a family. Finan-
cial losses are said to be responsible for
his condition.

MERGER FOR MORE RAILWAYS
one Corporation 60 Take over Prop
erty OF various southern
Pacific Companies.

-
SAN FRANCISCO. March 1.-Presldent Z.
II. Hartman Of the Southern Pacific com
pany will soon arrive in this city. and II
is stated that papers providing for a new
railroad corporation win be ready for his
signature. Erastus Young, statistician and
auditor Of all the Hartman roads. is said
to be now preparing the necessary docu-
ments under the direction Of the Southern
Pacific law department. II Is understood
that the purpose Of the proposed corpora
tion is to refund millions Of the Southern
Pacific securities and to simplify methods
Of bookkeeping.
The Southern Pacific has three distinct
companies operating its main line between
San Francisco and FL Paso, in addition to
a number OF branch roads. They are the
Southern Pacific railroad OF California. the
Southern Pacific Of Arizona and the South
ern Pacific Of New Mexico. These COM
p~anies, It is alleged, are to be merged into
a new corporation to be formed under the
law Of the state. They have an aggregate
bond issue OF $50, 900, 900. The bonds bear
. and 6 per cent interest per annum and
many of them fall due within the next two
or three years. A majority OF the stock
Of each company is owned by the Southern
Pacific company Of Kentucky. The three
companies have 5,o62 miles OF road.
Ply putting the three lines into one cor
p~oration the services of at least Atty clerks
will be dispensed with. The main object,
however, Of the new merger company, as
alleged, will be to refund the $50, 000, 900 OF
bonds mentioned at az and 4 per cent
Interest. BY this means a saving may be
made Of not less than $1,000. 900 a year in
fixed charges. 1t is understood that the
new corporation will take over the proper
ties Of the three Southern Pacific companies
and assume ali Of their assets and liabili-
ties. so that their stock and bonds may be
retired and the companies disincorporated.
