Murphy's Last Words.
City Attorney II. c. Murphy said;
Nothing remains now except the taking
over OF the city by the Omaha commits
sioners. We wish that this forfnhllty be
done with due regard to the rights Of the
local officials who guard the books and
papers OF the city. viii ask that the
mandamus be made returnable at
o'clock Monday afternoon. That will be
the end. There viii be no appeal from
the decision. Our action in making a
formal refusal IL dictated by my desire
to protect the officials in the bonds
should the suits now pending iYy the courts
be finally decided in favor OF the men
who think the merger law unconstitu-
tional"
| City Attorney Murphy, who has been the
strongest and perhaps the ablest of the
ants, expressed his pleasure at the end
Of the fight There have been good
men on both Sides" he said. "The people
are the ones to say what they want. 1
am for giving the best there Is to Greater
Omaha"

to pursue his appeal I'm another suit

the stock business at the Union Stock
Yards There his friends are legion as is
/ shown IN every eAmpalsn that he ever
made. without regard to party lines the
stock yards men and many South Omaha
men have gone out 10 boost for Mayor
Jim every time his name comes up for
anything, In local affairs he is always
figure much sought after on public
and private occasions
Hector. who for twenty-five years, has
been a figure in South Omaha politics.
Enthusiastically Mayor Hector goes out
OF office in the city where he has ruled
for years with smile on his lips and q
laugh in his eye. Whatever the little
/ sadness of breaking old ties Mayor
Hector in his last word 10 the council
last night insisted that the formal re-
fusaI TO turn over the records be done in
good nature"
