Winters Makes Statement.
Attorney S. l.. Winters desires to make
the following public explanation of a
city Of South Omaha by default. He
says:
Within the last few days several COM
ments have appeared In the daily news
papers with reference to a judgment alleged
to have been obtained by default against
the city of South Omaha In favor OF the
National Construction company, and / de-
sire to correct said statement. The facts
are that this case was set by the county
Judge the Monday before judgment was
obtained, but Mr.. Parks of the construction
company was I'm Lincoln. so his attorney
informed the court, and the court himself
announced that he could not take the case
up as he had a criminal case set for that
morning and as his time was taken up for
the full week. The case was then passed,
but no definite date set for trial, which
meant that II would go over until the next
term Of court, but on the last day OF this
same term of court the attorney for the
National Construction company appeared
and informed the court that it had been
set for that day, although the court had
no record of the case having been set nor
did 1t appear in the Daily Record, pub
lished for the of attorneys, and

p. Emblen's administration of the estate
OF Katherine Farrell is before Count
Judge Leslie on the complaint of some OF
the heirs. Emblem, who is a printer by oc-
cupatlon, is defended by County Attorney
English. Mrs. Farrell left property worth
g. 900 in the form OF several houses here.
Part Of the complaint seems to be that
Emblem rented a house to a tenant for $40
a month and the complainants think he
should have got 3i2 or $3 for 1t.
More Talk Not an offOnse-Mere talk
does not constitute a disturbance Of the
peace, even when It comes from a man
who threatens to make a cleaning" at
home by driving out his wife and step
children, but who only scares them out
or sends them into commissions by his talk.
At least. Police Judge Crawford made that
ruling Friday morning, when w. H. Polly
OF lO17 South Eleventh street was arraigned.
His wife and step-children appeared
gains him. but they said that his talk
was all that was disturbing. so the judge
discharged Polly with the remark that the
case was one for a divorce court.

rather than OF price. Then, again. the In
struments offered are not the kind usually
found in special sales. Pianos Of such
prominence as those handled by the Ben
nett company have a standard value all
over the United Ststes, and the opportun-
ity to secure an instrument Of this charac'
ter on such extremely favorable conditions
was evidently considered to be too good tc
be passed by. judging by the amount OF

The county judge, however, heard the evil
dence of the National Construction COM
pany and informed me afterwards that he
~telephoned me, but the clerk of the court
entered the formal judgment. The next day
the udgment appeared in the Daily Record
and / Immediately went to Omaha to see
told me that he did not intend to enter
judgment, and on being told that he had,
he instructed the clerk to set aside the
judgment, but we then discovered that 1t
was out of term time and under the law the
Judge could not make such an entry in va
cation, so he told me to make an appllca-
ton and he would set aside the judgment
the first day OF the next term. / then got
the attorney for the plaintiff over the teIe-
phone and told him l was going to make
such an application and he thereafter
agreed to allow the judgment to be set aside
and instructed the clerk to set the judg-
term. That these are the facts can easily
be ascertained by inquiring OF either the
county judge or the clerk of his court.
There was no default in this case; In fact.
there were two answers on file and the
Judgment was rendered through a mistake
on the part of the attorney for plaintiff and
not on the part OF the city attorney OF
South Omaha. l, therefore,, ask that this
communication be given the same publicity
that the former comments were given.

ular session last night, talking generail-
ties for about two hours and then ad-

of Zerbe & Walker for the same work
several weeks ago. City Engineer George
o. CLANCY, however, believes the work
can be done for at least s., 800. The board
viii probably let the weir alone this win
ter and fix it next spring.

ing the board that the contractors would
clean the sand aud gravel out of tho
