G. W. SMITH LOSES HIS CASE
Demurrer In Suit with City Property
Rights Is Denied by
Garland.

In the United States circuit court Judge
Garland has overruled the demurrer in the
case OF George Warren Smith against the
City of Omaha in the matter of the vaca-
ton of certain streets and alleys in what
was known as Warrenton addition.
1t appears the addition was vacated and
Smith acquired possession Of the property
according to the plat, succeeding to legal
title to all the lots in the addition. The
city claims the requirement of the prop
erty by Smith did not reinvest him with
the title to the streets and alleys. but they
are still the property of the city and sub
jcct to its disposal. The court is of the
opinion that when a person seeks to vacate
a portion of plat which has been filed
and the streets dedicated to the public, 1t
would often be inequitable to allow him to
vacate portion of the plat and thus close
up the streets or highways in the remaining
portion of the plat not vacated, but when
a person, as in this case, vacates the whole
plat the statute provides, as In this, that all
public rights in the streets and alleys shall
be Invested.

the young men with whom Miss Busch has

Of a noted st. Louis politician and scion
Of an aristocratic family. Another is a
young South Side physician. who is rapidly
making a name for himself In the medical

brilliant future. and the race just now, it

young lawyer, who is also well bestowed
with good looks and personal charms.
In spite of the Belleville escapade. which

to be a girl without proper balance. In
fact, the young millionairess is a student

OLD RECORDS BARELY ESCAPE
vaIuabI Document. of city Engineer
Come Near Being
Burned Up.

Notes, maps books and papers collected
through nearly half a century and some
times at great effort just escaped being led
to the furnace at the city hall this week
The documents belong to City Engineer
Rosewater. He changed offices, moving
into the old Board of Public Works rooms
and the opportunity was utilized for GER
eral cleaning up and removal Of old books
and papers no longer wanted. The engineer
selected a quantity of the most precious
stun he has OF this kind, dumped 1t In a
large waste basket and personally carried
it to his new private office. He placed the
basket by his desk and was suddenly called
away on important business. While he was
gone a janitor of the fourth floor was busy
in tho rooms. He perceived the waste bas-
ket was full to the brim and proceeded to
lug it away to the basement. Luckily he
threw the contents among lot of old
paper and not into the furnace.
When Mr.. Rosewater found out what had
happened the entire Office force was thrown
into a panic. A quick trip to the base
ment showed the paper pile had not been
disturbed For the next several hours the
engineer sorted out his invaluable personal
papers on hands and knees.

uncommon interest turks. They were
brought together by a common bond of
misfortune. Fred Patterson, as people in
Omaha well know, was one of the survivors
OF the terrible Iroquois theater fire in Chi
cago which swept hundreds of lives out Of
existence. Young Patterson lost both legs.
He was removed from the scene of disaster
to st. LuSes hospital where he lowered
between life and death for a long time.
Also at St Luke's hospital was another
young man, both of whose legs had been
torn from his body in an accident. This
was Thomas Burns. He was a brakeman
on the Northwestern railroad. He survived
"A train wreck. but lost his legs. While
struggling for life he and young Patterson
became acquainted and the acquaintance
grew into strong friendship. They are as
cheerful as any other young men with both
legs.
