MUST GET OFF THE NEW

Or Pay Half of Cost Of a
New One.
TOOK PUBLIC ROADWAY
When Its Side Was Washed Away by
the Floods-Ignored Demands Of
Commissioners to Participate in
Cost of Repairs or New eridae-An

UItimatum Issued.
The county commissioners are after
the Canton-Akron railway to compel
1t to pay part Of the cost Of rebuild,
ing the New Berlin bridge or get off
the highway and go around by what
ever course 1t may deem best.
When the electric line was built
to Akron the bridge near New Berlin
was not sufficiently strong to carry
the large electric cars and new struc'
ture was put up. AS it was partially
for the benefit of the company, the
Canton-Akron agreed to bear half the
expense It's franchise gave it the
right to go over the bridge on the east
side, leaving the west side unobstruct.
ed for the passage of teams and foot
passengers.
Last spring when the three large
floods swept over the county the
bridge was damaged, the foundations
being undermined on the east side.
Shortly afterward the bridge gave way
under the tracks and the street car
company moved over on the west side,
occupying the driveway that had been
reserved for the public.
The commissioners made propo-
sition to the company that 1t bear part
of the expense Of the repairs, as II
was the heavy cars that caused the
bridge to give way. Apparently this
request has been ignored, for yester'
day the commissioners passed res.
olution ordering the company to move
it's tracks off the highway at that
point, as repairs were about to be
made and that unless it participated In
the cost the bridge would not be built
for street car traffic, but just strong
enough to safely carry the travelling

MANGLED BODY ON BRIDGE
Man at Broken Bow Seemingly
Struck BY Train.

BROKEN BOW-The mangled body
of Ned Baker, young man employed
as a teamster, was found on a small
bridge near the Burlington yards here.
One leg had been severed and was
lying apart from the trunk. He had
apparently been run over by train
but the railroad men and train crews
have no knowledge of any accident,
and his friends are suspicious of foul
play. County Attorney Humphrey is
looking into the case and an inquest
will be held.
Barker, it is claimed, was drinking
and early in the evening said he was
going to join companions in a card
game under the bridge. These COM
panions are not known Barker
came from Fairfield Neb., where he
has relatives. He leaves a wife and
young child.

OMAHA WINS THE PENNANT.
Pa Rourke's Rangers Are Champions
of The Western League.

OMAHA-Omaha has won the pen
nant of the Western league. This
proud achievement, accomplished by
Gate City team for the first time
since 1889 was wrought by the most
remarkable spell of ball playing and
the finish was thrilling and spectacu-
lar. The two games which Omaha
took from st. Joseph at the Vinton
street grounds Sunday in the pres
ence of 5000 fans were fast and bril-
liant on the part of both teams-a
splendid climax to the terrific gait
at which Pa Rourke's men have been
speeding during the closing heat of
the season, when they have won
eighteen out of nineteen games, push
ing from third to first place.
1t is doubtful if in the history of
base ball any team ever surpassed
or eQualed the record made by the
Omaha team during the last month
and half From the first of the sea-
son the team has come up from last
place. The marvellous ball it has
been playing of late, taking first four
straight and then five straight from
the leaders is what gave such excite
ment to the finish. p to the last
day three teams, Colorado Springs,
Denver and Omaha, had a chance for
the pennant. 1t was a terrible strain,
but a glorious triumph.

action in lodging the requistion at
