Omaha daily bee., 1907-03-29

park site for the east-siders declared
yesterday that he had nothing to do with
the present injunction proceedings what
ever and that his contention ended when
the council refused to grant the wishes OF
the East Side Improvement club. The east
siders, however. are back of the present
injunction proceedings. 1t is said that over
500 has been subscribed for the purpose.
In addition TO this the whole east side has
threatened openly to secede. and go in for
annexation to Omaha. The matter is not
an idle threat and the people in that sec
ton Of the city are thoroughly In earnest.
The First ward would carry for annexation
two to one If II were put TO a vote today
Worried over Paving Case.
In the matter Of the injunction brought
by Hugh Murphy 1t is predicted that the
city will again be in a difficult position. He
seeks to restrain the city from interfering
with him in the removal Of paving mater
ial from Missouri avenue. When the case
shall be brought to trial. It is said that the
last estimate Of the city engineer, amount
ing to s. 200, and which was allowed by the
city council, will be brought forward as
proof that Mr.. Murphy still lacks that
amount to reimburse him for the work and
material expended in that street The coun-
ell revoked it's action in allowing this es
innate through fear Of threatened iRjunc-
ton proceedings. Nevertheless IL will be
made a pretty strong point in evidence. II
It is established, then It will be hard mat
ter for the engineer to account TO the city
for the estimates, the grand total OF which
amount to $12,700. Only two blocks on one
side OF the street car track is laid, and
the necessary material still lacks consid-
erably Of a SUFFICIENT amount to complete
the paving.
Grading Work Enjoined.
Mr.. Mcdonald Of the firm OF Mcdonald
6 Book has secured restraining order
preventing the city or its contractor, Dan
Harmon from grading the alley between
Twenty-second and Twenty-third and and
streets on the ground that he has not
been sufficiently remunerated in the award
OF the appraisers for the damage the grad
ing will do to his property. He claims that
the appraisers in the first instance allowed
! him sos, but that later council, with
new board Of appraisers, cut the appraise-
ment TO sSs. He wants the former award
endorsed
Work for Humane Omcer.
Several Of the government men engaged
In inspection In the stock yards and pack
ing houses have been inquiring II there
/
the Humane Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals The occasion of
the remarks lies in many instances OF I'M
necessary brutal treatment Of animals des-
tined to slaughter In the pens of the stock
| yards and in the alleys and chutes of the
packing houses, It is a government reg
ulation that all live hogs which go into
| the scalding watts shall be sent 10 the con-
| demned tanks, but this mas not entirely
prevented hogs reaching the scalding water
alive. One hog is reported lately to have
been so much alive that II jumped clear
| out OF the tank and ran around the killing
beds. Boys who are hired to drive cattle
along the ohutes have been seen to de-
liberately punch out the eyes of the help
less cattle with sharp sticks. Perhaps
worse still. II anything, is the handling Of
cripples from the cars. They have been
known to lie on the platforms where they
are unloaded with broken limbs. and TO
remain there all day long, unable to rise.
A man was seen hauling a live steer with
Its head bent under its body and unable
to do more than kick a broken leg. from
which the bare bone protruded six or eight
inches. There is no possible excuse for
this kind OF action. according to the state
ments Of the government men. The small
est amount of EFFORT would make the hand
ling OF these unfortunate creatures an act
Of mercy instead OF unfeeling brutality.
