DISTRICT JUDGES HALT ON
GRAND JURY AND ADJ0URNING
Have Not as Yet Come to n Definite
Conclusion on Either Prop
OafffOn.


The adjournment Of the district court is
still q matter Of discussion among the four
Judges In Omaha.
At a recent meeting called by Judge
Sutton to consider the a~dvisability OF a
grand jury in September, an order was
signed by Judges Sutton, Troup, Day and
Kennedy ordering an adjournment for Sat
after the grand jury proposition was dis
cussed and postponed until February.
This decision did not settle the matter
Of adjournment. however, since Judge SUIT
ton discovered Thursday that he could not
form his decision upon a new trial in the
Masauredis case by that time.
John Masauredis is under sentence OF
death for killing officer Edward Lowery
in South Omaha, and the motion for a new
trial is still unsettled.
1t was found also that a naturalization
day comes on September y. and that court
should be open on that day or there can
be no more naturalizations until within
thirty days OF election. This is not an
absolute bar TO adjournment, but some of
the judges are inclined to go on their va
cations and hold court in session formally,
but not actually. until that time.
Judge Troup declares that as far as he
is concerned court will adjourn Saturday,
and, as Judge Sutton has already left on a
fishing trip, there will be very little done
in the court house for the rest OF the sum
mer.
The next term opens October 4

Cemplrek
the Man Killed
Remains Picked Up on Burlington
Railroad Have Been Prac-
tically Identified.

The man killed during the night on the
Burlington tracks one and a half miles
east of the Willow Springs brewery is be-
lieved to be John Cempirek, who, until Au-
gust Ii. 1905, was an inmate of the Douglas
County hospital.
In a pocket OF his coat was found an
auditing receipt from the Omaha Loan and
Building association. This bore the date
of August 3, 1908. and was signed by ]. II.
Kopeetz. II gave his book number as c
l4O1. The loan association says he told It

Malek. on Twenty-second. between / and
+ streets, South Omaha.
The body of the man was torn to pieces
and parts scattered for 800 feet in every
direction from where his coat was found.

cred the remains at $50 this morning. whibf
walking into Gibson, and at once reported

BONDS WAIT DECISION
Will Not Be Issued Until Supreme
Court Hands Down Ruling.
COMPROMISE OUT OF QUESTION
No Hope Now, Says ~ConEdOn, of Com
ing to AmtcabIe Terms OF Set
tIement for Water Plant Pur-
chase with Company.

The water works bonds in the sum OF
SC. 800. 900 voted by the people at the city
election May 4. will not be issued until the
United States supreme court hands down
it's decision.
The bonds were voted so as to have the
money on hand in the event the Water
board was successful in effectins a com
promise with the Omaha Water company.
This compromise cannot be effected and
the whole case hinges on the decision OF
the nations highest tribunal.
The case will be heard at the October
term, but It may be December or even
January Of next year before a decision Is
handed down.
The bonds in the sum OF 100000 for the
purchase OF the water works and voted
by the people March c, 1900. will not be
issued.
This is the information given out by
Isaac e. Congdon, the lawyer, member OF
the Omaha Water board, who said It Is
extremely doubtful IL a compromise witt
the company can be effected. Severa
cvertures have been made to the com
pany, he says, but all were turned down
The last was made by Mr.. Congdon on his
recent trip east when he saw President
Woodbury. of the nah Water company.
No Use to Issue Them.
I'VE have received a number of inquir-
les about the bonds voted last spring"
said Mr.. Congdon, but there is no use
in issuing the bonds and paying I per cent
interest on the money and then deposit
ing the funds in the bank to draw 2 per
cent interest. AS soon as we are able to
take over the plant the bonds will be is
sued.
Thu board has nothing TO do with the
s., 00o. 900 in bond voted in 1900. That was
before the board was created and the
council ordered the vote on that issue
The bonds were never issued, but the ordi
nance authorizing the issue has never beer
repealed. The city could issue these bonds
II it wished, but it is not necessary. az
the $780,. voted last spring is more thar
enough to buy the plant when court actor
is finally at an end"
Mr.. Congdon said that the method o.
payment would have to be determined b!
the court. If the court orders the city L
pay interest on the appraised value OF tn,
plant from the time the appraisement wa
made until the actual transfer OF thu
plant takes place, then the city will b.
entitled to the revenue Of the water work.

HILL BUYS LAND FOR YARDS
Burlington Secures Large Tract to
Extend Depot Terminals.
MOST OF IT Is ON THE HIGH CLIFF
Excavation VIII Require Great Deal
of GrAding, which viii be
Done by the Hydraulic
System.

The Burlington Is completing a deal to
give II better trackage facilities for an en-
trance to its Tenth street depot. The delay
IN securing the property Is costing the
Burlington thousands OF dollars, but the
necessity is apparent and the property is
fast being secured.
Thursday the deal was closed with the
Hartmann vinegar and Pickle company
whereby the BurlingtoApaSs that company
$50, 30 for It's property and in addition agrees
to provide a new site for the company on
which a new factory may be built. The
plan is 10 buy ali the property south Of the
Burlington tracks for some distance from
Tenth to Thirteenth street.
Negotiations are under way for the pur-
chase Of the Linton block from Frank
Burnley, but the deal has not been closed.
This property is south Of that secured from
the Haarmann company.
Burlington officials say this newly sc-
quired property is not to be used for any
thing at present except for trackage. The
Burlington has been greatly Handicapped in
Omaha because Of lack Of trackaEe faclll-
tiea. From the passenger station west to
the city limits the railroad has but one
track, and this is a great hindrance to
business, as all the freight and passenger
trains between Omaha and South Omaha
must 60 that way. The Burlington has to
do a large amount of switching in connec-
ton with its Omaha depot and this is diff
cult because Of no trackRge facilities TO
the west.
Most of the land is on a cliff from thirty
to. forty feet high and this will require a
large amount OF grading before II can be
used for trackage purposes The Haarmann
tract was graded a couple OF years ago to
prepare It for the new vinegar factory.
The grading was done by the hydraulic
system. The clay was flushed into the
sewer by a large stream Of water. The
United States government put a stop to
this process, fearing It might change the
course Of the Missouri to rave SO much
clay washed in at one place.
The property has been bought by the
Burlington through the Byron Reed COM
pany.
Burlington officials also say they will
go right ahead with the new $1,000, oC
freight depot which will be built on the
site of the old fl eight house and on some
adjoining property recently acquired. The
committee OF experts which d. Willard
vice president in charge of operation, APP
pointed to report on the best plan for q
modern and up-to-date depot, is now In
the east looking over the latest terminals
and will report soon. Plans will be pre-,
as soon as the contracts can be let.
