cases the council has denied the claim OF
the petitioners for damages. The first case
is that Of Coatsworth for injuries alleged
to have been received at Thirteenth and
Missouri avenue. on the advice Of the
city attorney the claim was denied He
demanded $4,000. His complaint Is that he
fell owing TO defect Of the street and
broke his leg. The city attorney not only
considers the claim exorbitant, but is Of
the opinion that the city can easily be
proven not responsible in the case
The second case is one in which f. j.
Quiebaum takes exceptions to the action
OF the regularly appointed appraisers for
the grading of Thlrty-ninth street in not
allowing him any damages on property af-
fected by the grading Of that street south
Of Q. The council approved the work of
the appraisers and from this ouigbaum
takes appeal TO the district court
Fined for Trespassing on Tracks.
The Union Pacific railroad and others
using the Union Pacific yards appear to
be determined to put a stop to the use
Of any of their tracks or yards by tres
passers. They have issued strict orders
to their special officers to arrest any and
all persons found walking on the tracks
at any point in the city limits other than
At a regular and open street crossing. The
stringent enforcement of this regulation
has led to several arrests. The latest is
that of Thomas Uridivlski, a resident OF
Shelley. He was arrested by Special Of
icer r. A. Pease at $50 last night He
was at once brought before Judge p. c.
Caldwell on the state complaint and fined
IS and costs. The officer asserts that he
has repeatedly warned Urdiviski that he
must not use the tracks as a street, but
confne himself to the vladucts and streets
The man arrested does not understand the
language well and apparently paid no heed
to the warning of the officer until placed
under arrest.

vived man to the South Omaha hospital
On the way he gradually regained full

two of his ribs were broken, but the ex-

baugh did not consider his hurts at all
