PROTEST ON IMPROVEMENT
Made by Property
Owners on Cost of Grading
ThIrty-Third street.

Twenty or more property owners in the
Ninth ward have protested to the monthly
Board of Equalization at the city hall that
the levy plan for assessing taxes for grad
ing Thirty-third street, between California
and Chicago streets is all wrong in that II
takes in entirely too much territory.
The job cost 1921 and the result was 10
fill up big hole in the street, leaving
houses on the improvement with their
roofs just about at grade. The property
abutting was so badly damaged that little
or any OF the tax can he charged against
It, In preparing the plans the engineer
ing department included section bounded
by Farnam and Cunning, Thirty-hfth street
and Thirty-frst avenue. This the protest
ants assert is spreading the cost of the
Improvement altogether too far. Their
spokesman, Attorney II. w. Pennock. de-
clares that approval OF the plan means a
law suit It is declared that no BENEFITS
are derived by many taxed for the improve
nent and there is no reason why they
should be called upon to assist in paying
for IT,
In the Lake street paving district a num-
her OF interested property owners are OBJ
iecting on grounds exactly opposite. These
say the area included in the plan is too
small and that II should stretch back fur
Their from the paving. Both protests will be
argued before the board adJourns.

small and the larger portion of the stun

seem TO be very anxious to get, and as
result the trade in fat killing sheep was
rather slow, but Just the same prices were
about steady.
There was a large run Of feeders yester-
day as usual, and there were not many
country buyers In, while local buyers did
not appear to want some Of the kind OF
stuff that was for sale Consequently u
was necessary to carry over about ntty
cars Of stun. This morning, probably ow-
ing 70 the fact that II was election day,
there were very few countrymen in and
local buyers were not buying much stun,
with the result that the market. was slow

Ohiy 20 cars being reported in. The larger
pOfuon OF the stun consisted OF feeders,
win a small sprtnkling OF fed cattle.
mere was not a very large run of beef
cattle this morning, there were only a few
LOADS OF corn fed cattle on sale, the largest
portion OF these were on the short-fed
order, so that as a rule the buyers did
not go after them very eagerly. There was
q fairly good demand however ana the
market was Just about steady on the gem
elal run OF stun. Early reports from the
Chicago market indicated a weak market
az that point, but did not seem to have much
effect on things here and II Is probable that
good choice led heeves would have found
ready sale at fully steady prices. Taken
as whole, the market on beef steers
was slow and steady.
There was not an over supply of COWS
and heifers this morning. in fact not quite
SO many as yesterday, while at the same
time the demand for them was good and
active. Packers were evidently wanting
cow stun and were out in the yard al an
early hour and with good line of outside
orders. The market was fairly active and
STEADY, in some cases little stronger than
yesterday.

Bon Of Former Omaha Man Charged with

PowOER-BURNtD COAT IN EVIDENCE
Defense L. that shot which KILLED
Hayden LOrinG Last Year
was Fired In self
Defense.

ST. LOUIS. No. Nov. 7.--(speeisl Tele-
gram.)-It developed today that powder
burns in the coat worn by Hayden Lor-
ing when he was shot by Norman NJ.
Vaughn, son OF ex-Mayor Vaughn Of Coun-
ell Bluffs, will be an important factor IN
the defense OF Vaughn, who is on trial
in the criminal court charged with man
slaughter for the killing of Loring, No
vember O. 1904
At today's session the most important
witness for the prosecution was James
Doring, father of the dead man. Loring
identified the clothing worn by his son at
the time OF the shooting. He was asked
TO point out each bullet hole in the coat
Attorneys for the defense called his at
tention to the fact that one OF these near
the bottom OF the garment on the right
hand side was powder burned.
He said that this was one of the holes
which he saw I'm the coat just after his
son was shot. He could not account for
the powder burn.
Claims Self-Defense.
The testimony Of witnesses for the de-
Tense was to the effect that Vaughn shot
only when chased into his room by Lor-
ing and that the bullets were fred at very
close range, one statement being that Lor-
ing had Vaughn by the throat when the
shooting occurred 1t Is contended by the
prosecution that Vaughn did not shoot in
self defense, but deliberately fred while
Loring was seated at his desk in the
office OF the boarding house. As an onset
to the powder burns in the clothing the
prosecution offers as evidence mirror
which hung behind the chair in which
LSoring is said to have sat when shot The
mirror was pierced by a bullet Among
the witnesses for Vaughn were his Sis
ters Misses Adelia and Oma Vaughn, the
latter an invalid, who. It is said, cannot
live much longer.
