HARLAN COUNTY GETS VERDICT
Effort to Set Aside Transfer of Prop
erty Taken ON Execution
Fails.

Judge Munger handed down memoranda
opinion in the United States circuit court
Tuesday afternoon in the case OF James
Corey against the County of Harlan, Ne
braska, giving judgment in favor of the
defendant.
The suit was an action in ejectment
Both parties claimed the title to certain
property in Harlan county through Ezra
S. Whitney, at one time owner OF the real
estate. He was elected treasurer of Har-
Ian county and criminal proceedings were
taken against him on the charge OF en-
bezzlement. He was found guilty of en-
bezzling 81, 1870 and sentenced to two years
Imprisonment and TO pay a fine of So. $50
and costs. The judgment was affirmed
by the supreme court, to which It was
taken by appeal An execution was issued
on the judgment and a levy made on the
real estate and the same was sold TO Har-
Ian county and confirmed on November g.
1888 The absolute confirmation was not
made until February Is, 1899. On November
q, 1898, Whitney conveyed the property by
quit claim deed to John Everson and w. o.
Woolman. The plaintiffs in the present
case obtained title through them. The
question arose on the validity OF the sale
under execution 10 Harlan county 1t was
set up on the part of the plaintiffs that
the sale was void for the reason that
the judgment OF the district court was
void under the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution OF the United States, and
on this ground II was brought to the United
States court.
Judge Munger is OF the opinion that the
constitution OF the United States has not
been violated, and hence gives judgment
for the defendant, which confirms the sale
and title 10 the defendant. Harlan county

LOOKS LIKE A GOOD CATCH
Police Believe They Have Man who
Has Been Doing POrch-CIimb-
ing stunt.

George Wilson, who refused to give his
proper address, was arrested last night
charged with burglary. II is thought that
at last the man has been caught who has
been perpetrating the cases of theft by
means of climbing porches to the second
story of houses he wished to enter. These
house breakings began on the 18th of
October, with the entering Of Senator
Millard's residence at 24OS Harvey street,
while the family was at dinner. Here sew
eral articles were taken, among them was
a gold mounted thermometer and n small
silver candle stick. Another such entering
was reported on the morning of the 18th.
This was Judge wakeley's residence. from
which several articles of value were taken.
A few days later Tom Dennison's residence
was similarly entered.
Not more than week ago the residence
of NJ. F. Martin, 2O2O Webster, was en-
tered and pair of opera glasses and a
woman's watch were taken. Drummy and
Maloney have been working on the case.
They have found several of the articles
taken at different pawn shops and all the
descriptions Tailed. in that the man who
had offered the articles was a slight built,
medium complexloned man with a dark
moustache. A close watch has o9en kept
on all the pawn shops and st clock last
night hurry call was turned in from 40S
South Tenth street. when the patrol ar
rived they found Detective Drummy hold
ing a man by the wrists. The fellow was
struggling and cursing while trying to get
his hand to his gun. He was hurried to
the station where he was searched. A new
pocket shaving case was found In which
was sefety razor, silver soap case and
other articles. He had another razor in
his pocket. There was a gold hat pin and
a gold ring and more than half a dozen
bracelets of as many different patterns.
He had about S. in cash and a thirty-two
caliber revolver.
The man cursed the police all the way
to the station, showing all the marks of a
hard character. He was wise enough not
to tell where his room was, but said it was
on Sixteenth street The detectives were
much elated and are confident that when
his room is located they will find conclusive
evidence Of the mans guilt. He was held
under the charge of burglary.

NUS AND MUSICIANS.

The Kiltes came and saw and con-
quered" The band is the best that has
visited Omaha in a long time Beside
being satisfactory in a musical way, the
members are decidedly picturesque in
their Scotch regalia the royal tunic
Gordon plaid and white spats. Those who
looked carefully also found the black
knife" They were complete in every way.
The program was varied and full OF
interest, consisting of serious numbers
by the band, which they played with much
finish and expression; several numbers by
the Kilties choir and three natural dances
which were executed with an unusual
amount of snap.
This organization, which halls from
Canada, played twice not long ago before
the king Of England. once at Balmoral and
again at Sandngham.
The tenor, Mr.. Harry Yeazette Mercer,
has genial personality as expansive as
the Auditorium. His voice is of natural
sweetness He's a bit stout and does not
breathe as deep as he should, but his
songs, Mary of Argyle" Csubstitute for
the Gounod number) and Bonnie Sweet
Bessie" were given with such attractive
ness that he was Obliged to sing a third
number.
The Scotch reel was also immensely
popular, and the audience demanded sew
eral additional steps.
One of the pleasant features of the
evening was the presentation to Mr. Lind
sey OF a medal by the manager of the band,
making him a member of their organiza-
ton, thereby showing their appreciation
Of Mr.. Lindsey's influence in Omaha for
all good things pertaining to Scotland. Mr..
Lindsey made graceful speech Of ack-
nowledgement. which was much enjoyed
by the audience.
The band did particularly good work in
the Gypsy Life" Lutte by La There.
This number showed their thorough train
ing and their musicianly Interpretation. 1t
is safe to say that an entirely satisfied
audience wendell its way from the Audi
torium last night.
The band gives a matinee and evening
performance today. MARY LEARNED.

PROCEEDINGS OF CITY COUNCIL
Message from Mayor Announcing
Death of Councilman NichOl-
son IL Read.

For the second time within the year the
city council has been called upon 70 mourn
the loss of one of it's members and the
regular meeting Tuesday night lasted but
long enough for the reading of a communi-
cation from the mayor ofncialiy announcing
the death of George T. Nicholson. Mr..
Nicholson's chair was draped in mourning.
The mayors communication was:
II is my sad duty to officially announce
to your honorable body the untimely death
of Hon. George 7. Nicholson, member Of
the city council from the Fourth ward
which occurred Sunday afternoon, October
Although aware of his dangerous illness
and his apparent recovery from the effects
of the serious operation performed upon
him, yet neither his immediate relatives
nor his many friends thought for mo-
ment that he was so soon to be taken from
US
Just in the prime of life, George T. Mich
olsons taking away seems to be more
than an object lesson to us, calling wildly
to our minds the uncertainty OF life. No
matter how healthy or how prosperous we
may be, yet when the call comes every
thing must be dropped and we must go.
Councilman Nicholson was a self-made
man. Coming to our state when but a boy,
II years Of age, he learned his fathers
trade, that of a carpenter. Afterwards he
became locomotive engineer. running for
years between Omaha and Nebraska City,
which profession he was compelled to give
up on account of his health. His long
association as custodian of our Masonic
temple brought him in contact with thou
sands of members of the craft so that
when he entered the political Held his
Masonic friends stood for him and success
followed him.
In his official duties he always was al the
front, looking after the interests of his
constituents and the taxpayer, and his
presence as a member in the council
chamber will not soon be forgotten.
II IS but fitting and proper that his chair
and desk be suitably draped for a period
OF thirty days and that a committee on
resolutions be appointed to draft appropri-
ate words of coincidence to the memory
of our departed friend.
Also that the council now adjourn and
that we all attend his funeral.
The members of the council will meet
at the train this morning at 9:15 to attend
the funeral at Nebraska City.
A meeting will be held Thursday morning
to pass the appropriation ordinance.

High Estimation I'm which NichoiaOn
Was Held.

One of the friends OF the late Councilman
Nicholson of the Fourth ward. who after
the latter was elected councilman met him
almost daily, said Tuesday:
George Nicholson was one of the most
optimistic impulsive and warm-hearted
men l ever knew. One of his marked
traits was forever boosting his own town.
his own friends and whatever he happened
10 be interested in. His often-voiced
declaration that Omaha is the best town
on earth was repeated by him so fire.
quently and fervently that 1t became
by-word among his acquaIntances in re-
ferring to him. II seemed to me he never
let an opportunity OF this kind slip. At
home or abroad he always stood up for his
town, and so far as l know never said
word against il. This attitude was an index
TO his nature, which was of the CHEEKY
hopeful kind, always endeavorlng to see
the best features of men and things
las a councilman he encountered the
many perplexing conditions that fall to the
lot Ct whoever hlls the Office, and was daily
besieged by people at cross-purposes with
one another | do not think any member Of
the council felt the responsibilities or the
trials Of the position more than George
Nicholson. l know from conversations
with him time out Of number he always
tried TO do the right thing and find the
truth and justice in whatever came before
him. He had the courage TO stand by his
opinions once he formed them. but he had
a reasonable mind that never refused to
reconsider and amend If he saw his original
decision was wrong.
Many times have met him when have
depressed or discouraged and he always
had word OF cheer and encouragement.
He was a man passionately fond Of his
family and the companionship OF his
friends. His ideas of personal loyalty and
integrity we're high and very often he
could not understand duplicity in word and
deed that he was forced to observe In poll
tics. I feel distinct sense OF personal
loss In his death There are too few men
like him"
