The Agricultural and Mechanical foot ball eleven arrived in the city last night over the Southern Railway for their game with the Howard college boys at West End park this afternoon. The boys from Mississippi are a husky looking determined lot, and they announce that they will add another scalp to their already long col lection of the season.
 The team numbers some excellent foot ball men. There Is plenty of weight in the line, and the backfield Is hard charging aggregation judging from the scoring done by them this season.

Order from Court.

Sheriff Bradley has possession Of the two

Mr.. and Mrs. James Jewell, a colored pair.
The sheriff took possession by order Of
Judge Redick Of district couHt. Pending
settlement Of the litigation by the court
the houses will remain in charge Of the

The charge Of the Prairie Trust company
that the sale was in the nature Of a put-ip

anxious that the practice Of OTHER cities
shall not become established here.
It is notorious that in Chicago, New York

MYSTERY ABOUT DEATH OF
GUS LINDEN AT HOSPITAL
He Was Found Sick on Car, but Did
Not Give Hospital People
Information.

Mystery surrounds the death at st. Jo-
seph's hospital Wednesday night Of Gus
Linden, a stone quarry employe at Louis
willie. All efforts by the hospital to ascer-
tain what caused Linden's death have been
without result, and a postmortem examina-
ton will be necessary. Linden's only In
formation at the hospital was to the ef-
feet that he had sustained a fall. He was
very weak and died in less than two hours
Linden was noticed by a passenger on a
street car to be acting queerly, as though
sick, and the stranger offered to assist
him to a hospital. II was 7 O'Clock when
linden was received at the institution and
at S:45 he was dead.
Coroner Heafey was notified and en-.
deavored to find out something concerning
Linden from Louisville. but was unsuc.
cessful. The man said he was Swedish
and his age was apparently about IS years
There are three stone quarries at Louis
Vile and the coroner is now e~ndeavorinl
to ascertain at which one Linden was EN-
ploysd and whether or not he met witt
some injury there. An examination of hi
body at the morgue showed not a single
bruise or abrasion. Had he sustained in
ternal injuries it is believed a hemorrhag,
would have followed, but there is no evi
dence of such action.
The time for the inquest has not beef
set, but 1t will likely be Friday morning.

SERIOUS STORM is CAUSE
OF TWO DAMAGE SUITS

Suits filed in county court will recall
wildly to mind the great storm Of jan
uary Is, Of this year, when the wind
howled down from the north at eighty
miles an hour, when plate glass fronts
were blown in, poles knocked down and
so on.
These suits are filed against the First
Swedish Methodist Episcopal church of
Omaha. One is by Miss May Mcnamara,
who asks $1,000, and the other, by the
people with whom she lived, Mr.. and Mrs.
Michael Sulley, of Nineteenth and Cunning
Streets. They seek $500,
It will be recalled that the wind caught
a brick chimney on the church next door
to the Sulley home and deposited the
chimney on the roof OF the home. 1t did
not stay on the roof. but went on dOwn
through and Miss Mcnamara awoke to
find herself enveloped by quilts and
IKE of brick and mortar.
Both petitions charge that the chimney
was made OF defective material. Miss Nc
Namara recites that her good looks re-
ceived permanent injuries through half a
dozen scars, which remain on her face,
The Sulleys asserts that their furnlture
was injured and that they themselves re-

Prise Piece of Pavement in City is

New Sewer,

When Governor Shallenberger signed the

Fanning's heart was not made nearly so

out as the best piece Of pavement in the

at the chance to construct the new sewer,
which will be of twenty-four inch size.

water that comes from the west during

County Hospital
Attendant Finds

AL Larson is an humble ~attendant at the

has been unfortunate In his time and is
new past the meridian OF life without any
hope Of material prosperity.
But Al Larson is an honest man.
Hugh Mckay. a man Of past 50 years,
was admitted to the county hospital on
an order from Dr. Swoboda.
It is the invariable custom Of Superin-
tendent Elsasser to have all patients bathed
and clothed in fresh, clean garments when
admitted and the rule was applied in the
case of this octogenarian. His clothes were
particularly worn and soiled. 1t is an
other custom in such cases TO destroy
such garments by fire outside.
Mckay was taken to his bath and Al
Larson started with his tattered garments
to the lot to burn them.
Il guess a man as poor as he and
whose clothing is as ragged and dirty
couldn't have anything Of value in them,
unused Larson. Blu anyway, he would
see. He found a dollar in one. pocket.
That's ALL" he said to himself and
started again for the fire.
But he observed a lump in one part OF
the vest. He ripped open the dingy thing
and there found 1920 sewed up.

The figures on the district clerk is
reached as follows: The total expense Of
the office (gross) is SIS, 900 a year. This
covers seven courts, and to get the figure
for one judge there should be a division by T..
This total Of $500 covers thirty-five
weeks Of the year during which trials are
held. One thlrty-fifth Of the figure is S2S5.
Trials are held five days a week and the
daily expense is thus one-fifth Of S2S5, or
S47. To this 81 must be added S24-S2 each
for TWELVE jurors-making a daily ex-
pense Of 81.
Now take this INTO consideration will a
case which is before Judge Kennedy, not
by any means the most dilatory judge Of
the seven. In fact, many people consider
him the most energetic.
This case is the suit for S1,665 Of Hans
Christensen against the Omaha Ice and
Cold Storage company. 1t began Novem-
Der IL and has gone on without intermis-
sion Of any kind. 1t will not be concluded
until the end Of this week and will have
taken approximately twenty days of actual
trial. Multiply s1 by twenty and the prod
uct is $1,420.
This is only SPAS less than the total sued
for, and it is no safe assumption that a
verdict will be rendered for any amount
at all.
These are the facts. The remedy is less
