W. !. Gordon Renews His Ancient
Police Judge Suit in
Court.

over and out of the salary of Samuel
Gordon as police judge OF Omaha, there
has been litigation since 1897, and it is by
no means lone yet, Friday morning there
began before Judge Sutton the suit of w.
I. Gordon against the bondsmen of the late
former City Treasurer A. H. Henning.
The suit has its origin in the act of the
legislature OF 1897 reducing Samuel Cor
don's salary from $500 to 81, 200. Thai act.
it will be remembered, Gordon fought. and
through his lawyer, Judge Eller. instituted
many mandamus proceedings against the
city council and Mayor Moores to nave the
warrants drawn.
Finally Gordon and Eller disagreed. Eller
claims that a particular warrant for 81, 800
which was put through by court order was
assigned to him by Gordon as an attorney
fee. Gordon's assertion is that the war
rant was assigned to his son, w. l. Cor
don. who is plaintiff in the present suit,
and that Henning, then holding office, was
notified to pay the money to him. Eller
got the money and the younger Gordon
now sues to recover from the bondsmen OF
Henning, who is dead.

Wrecking Old
Jail Next Thing
That is the Present Step in Process
of Getting New Court
House.

The contract let for the new county court
house, the next thing in order is the wreck
ing of the old Jail and the finishing of
the excavation contract held by Lamoreaux
e. Peterson.
1t is expected that this work will be
done by the middle of May and not before
that will Caldwell & Drake begin activ-
tiles here, That firms first work is to
build a retaining wall under the south
side of the old court house. After that
laying the foundation and sinking the con-
crete piers for steel columns will be in
order for the south wing of the new build
ing.
There is no likelihood of bids being ad-
vertised for a long time for those features
of the new building not included in the
Caldwell contract. There will be no need
for the fixtures, plumbing, electric wiring
and elevators for many months to come
and it is now too far ahead to seek to
make the contracts.
George Caldwell of the firm Of Caldwell
& Drake left last Thursday night for
Columbus, Ind. He will be back in a week.

From Facing Jury
Greek Who Killed Ed Lowery is Re-
ported Weak from Bull

John Massuredis may never face trial
for the murder of officer Ed Lowery. The
Greek is declared to be an extremely Ill
man. The wound in his chest, which runs
from side to side across the body, has re-
fused to heal.
Hope of trying him next week has ac-
cordingly been dissipated. and the case of
Louis Peterson for manslaughter may be
called instead. Peterson is charged with
striking william Hubbard in the formers
saloon July Is. Hubbard fell to the floor,
according to the information. and fractured
his skull. After that he wandered away.
the information goes on. and was found the
next day dead in the rear OF the Drexel
hotel.
How Hubbard came in the alley where
they found the body has not until this
time been told. but IL appears that sitting
in a chair in front OF the hotel that night
after receiving the injury he looked as II
drunk to two men passing by. They
thought ne might be arrested and. picking
him up. carried him back and laid him
down In the alley. where he passed away.

ADRIFT ON A RAFT.
An Englishman's Attempt to Cross the
Channel Foolhardy Bust


An Ostend correspondent recounts the
details of remarkable attempt to cross
the English channel on raft by a Lon
don man named William Westlake In
point of fact he nearly crossed the North
sea, for he was picked up in a condition
OF extreme exhaustion off the Belgian
coast. He started his voyage from
JAMESTOWN, near Deal.
Westlake stated in an interview that
the conditions ON Saturday appeared to
be favorable for his third attempt TO
cross to Calais. He put off at 10 O'Clock
III the morning III the presence of a very
small number of onoOkerS A light
breeze was blowing, and having rowed
clear OF the shore he set the sail on his
plank, which is . feet wide and Is feet
long. lie hoped to reach Calais in TWEEN
ty-four hours, but took enough bread and
timed meat for two days The plank
drltted greatly and his progress was
slow. When night fell, Westlake said,
ne had a very anxious time, on account
OF the risks from passing vessels. His
whole stock of provisions was swept oy-
erboard by the wash from large steam.
er-and ON this occasion he also narrowly
escaped drowning.
When the light came there was neither
land nor shipping in sight, and he was
drenched by the waves which had de-
prived him of his provisions Later on
he saw vessels at a great distance. but il
was useless to signal. owing to the insig.
nificance of his craft
On Sunday Westlake felt very hun.
cry and thirsty, and he was ignorant OF
what progress he vas making.
The sea also got up good deal. and
l had to cling pretty tightly to the plank
TO avoid being washed off. | spent an
other very rough and anxious night
saw the lights of one or two ships in
the distance, but | judged that | haG
got into the North sea-"
The next day Westlake had to contend
against a strong wind, rain, and increas
ing hunger, besides continual washing
from the sea. Clinging to the plank was
very eXhausting, but when things were
at their worst he was sighted from the
Belgian coast by a fishing boat belonging
to La Panne, and was towed safely into
port
Inquiries at Kingsdown show that
Westlake was strongly advised by ex.
perienced boatmen not to undertake this
adventure, but his only concession tC
outside opinion was to make some
changes TO his simple vessel in order tC
Increase its buOyancy. With this object
he obtained four oil drums, two of which
were dashed on each side of the plank
The mast for his tiny sail was feet
high. He also carried two oars. West
lakes provisions, to which he referred
were two pint bottles of milk and two
or three small tins of corned beef Lon
