HARLAN COUNTY MAN WINS on


LINCOLN, May 5.-lSpeciaLJ-The su-
preme court has reversed the decision Of
the tower court IN the case Of Thomas w.
Blackburn against the city Of Omaha and
the Omaha Gas company.
The suit was for an injunction to pre-
vent tire enforcement Of a lighting contract
executed by the city Of Omaha and the
omaha Gas COMPANY. The validity OF the
. contract and of the ordinance authorizing
49, was held properly raised by the plead
inEs. The action was dismissed after fun
hearing In the lower court and Blackburn
and the city appealed.
In ms syllabus the court said.
Under the charter OF the city Of Omaha
as 1t existed October II, 1906, an ordinance
not published Two weeks before 81 was
passed heid void. where it modified condi-
TONS Ola fvrner ordinance under which
ne Omaha Gas company obtained its char
ter
Judge Rose wrote the decision OF the
cturt ana Judge Letton disseuted.
in his conclusion Judge Rose said:
sWi,bia the meaning Of the city charter
thels was certainly an attempt 10 modify
the conditions Of the franchise ordinance
and 70 accomplish that result by means OF
a lighting ordinance which had not beer
published two weeks before it was passed
In the conclusion Of his disstntiug opinion
Judge Letton said.
y think this contract was made entirely
outside OF the provisions OF the franchise
ordinance, and ! am unable 10 see an!
sound reason for the holding that the obi
gatien OF the gas company to make bidi
was changed, reduced. qualified and limited
by the new ordinance"
The contract in question provided tina
the gas company should furnish lights t.
the city at the rate Of SIS per lamp pc
year The ordinance providing for the con
tract was attacked on the grounds tina
1t had not been published two weeks befor'
passage and because il violated the pro
visions OF the franchise. The old contrac
provided for lamps for SIS a year and il
the franchise was the clause that the com
pany should bid on the street lighting a
often as required by the council.

Immense Cortege at
 Obsequies of Daughter of
 MT. and Mrs. Stapleton

The obsequies over the remains of the late Marie L., the eleven year old daughter of former Fire Commission CT and Mrs. Walter Stapleton of San- ford avenue were largely attended to- day at St. AuguStine'S church where che requiem mass was sung by Rev. Father Mccormack. Legion of friends of the afflicted family gathered at the home and at the church where the impressive services were held. The body reposed peaceful and life like in a handsome white satin cask- ct. The parlors of the home were literally banked with flowers the dis play including many set and standing tokens of surpassing bauty. It re- quired several coaches to carry the floral offerings.
 At the offertory of the mass Mrs. Fred Wren and Mrs. Finton J. Kelly sang Ave Maria and at the close of the sacrifice, Mrs. Wren rendered very sweetly Jesus Lover of My Soul" The bearers were George Burns, William O'Donnell, George O'Donnell, Frank McDonough, Cliff ford Bright and Walter Stapleton.
 The sudden death of the deceased has cast gloom over the neighbor- hood in which she resided for little Marie was an especially lovable child. Even for one so young she possessed splendid attributes of mind and heart. It is only six weeks ago that she re- ceived her first holy communiont The burial was in the family plot in St. MichaePs cemetery.

CONSTABLE TO
 STOP ROWDY|SM
 AT PARK RESORT

Now that the people of Harrison Park have gathered up their wounded, they are determined to stop the rowdy- ism which has recently impaired the value of the park as a summer re- sort.
 Foremost among those who are de- termined to have order in the pleasant little resort by the Sound. is Mrs. M. Dunnigan, an estimable East Side wo- man, who has gone to the park for the summer. where she keeps board CTS.
 Mrs Dunnigan is a widow, and by her own efforts has reared a family. She is all the more concerned because in the last fight one of her sons. whose friends have jocularly nicknamed him ''Skit" Dunnigan. was badly beaten up.
 Mrs. Dunnigan doesn't quite take the view that her son was the aggres- sor in the combat.
 She said today: Of course my boy may be a little wild at times. Boys will be boys. But in this case he was in the right. He is employed in the MT. Beauteler, also an assistant, was there, and seven big, strapping fellows came in from a nearby place. They were all armed with seltzer bottles, which they used until the contents gave out. They then grabbed the catSup bottles. MT. Beauteler inter- fered. My son then mixed in''
 MT. Beauteler. it seems. was done up so badly that Dr. Bangs had to be called in to close his wounds. while Dunnigan received the beating de- scribed in the Farmer yesterday. CTS of Harrison Park are determined that such disgraceful affairs shall cease. There is a constable in that neighborhood most of the time now.
