At Grand Island

Grand Island, Neb., July l2.-(Spe-
cial )-Considerable local comment
has been occasioned by the result Of
the second of the so-called Kuester
resistance trials growing out of the
arrest of Richard Kuester by Officer
Monahan and the rough and tumble
fight which ensued. Mr.. Kuester, a
local meat dealer, cutting an intersec-
ton corner in violation of traffic reg
ulationsAwas one day asked by Chief
of Police Snodgrass to appear in
court with reference to the offense.
He refused to do so. The next day
the chief sent Officer Monahan for
Kuester. Kuester declined to come.
Words and resistance followed and
Rudolph Kuester, son of Richard
Kuester, and another attache of the
meat market, assisted their father in
the resistance. The first trial was
against Officer Monahan for striking
Kuester, ,jr, and the officer was fined
$40 and costs, and has appealed his
case to the district cdurt Officer
Monahan made charge in the coun-
ty court against Kuester, ST., for the
resistance, and the jury, after being
divided for some time, three to three,
brought in verdict after ten hours
OF not guilty. Kuester, ST., was fined
81 and costs for the traffic regulations
violation and has appealed the case.
Kuester, jr., was arrested yesterday
on a charge of driving over the fire
hose while the fire department was
on duty fighting the Harrison lumber
yards fire and after warning had been
given him.

there was all explosion of dynamite
in two passenger coaches which had
been stored for the night on the Bell
wood division tracks of the Pennsyl-
vania at Bellwood. One OF them was
so badly damaged that it is unfit for
service, An investigation showed
that the dynamite in the cars had
been set off evidently with time fuses.
Patrols were Immediately sent out
by railroad officials and all stations
in the middle division were notified
to be on guard.
All trains east and west were held
up until the tracks were clear.
1t was reported early today, but not
confirmed, that the dynamite was
placed by two men dressed as women,
with the aid of accomplices hiding
beneath a culvert near where the eX-
plosions occurred.
The first explosion tore hole
eighteen inches in the ballast, but did
no material damage to the tracks.

ASSESSMENTS FOR
MANY STATE BANKS
State Board Imposing Levy on
Those That Have Not
Paid Full Sum.
HOW IT AFFECTS SOME

(From Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln. July l2.-(Special Tele-
gram. )-Following the opinion of the
attorney generals depatment that
state banks which haze paid into
the guaranty fund ~ per cent Of its
deposits, need pay no more, the State
Banking board is proceeding to as
sess banks which have not paid in
that amount sufficient sum to equal
ize the payments all around
If this rule is carried out it will
mean that the State Bank of Omaha,
which some time ago took over the
City National bank, thus increasing
its deposits to something like $1,000
600, while it has paid but about $500
into the guaranty fund, will be as
sessed about $22,500 more.
After this is paid in the bank will
have to continue to pay the regular
semi-annual assessments until they
aggregate w per cent of its deposits,
which will reach the exempted class,
and no further assessments will be
required until the reserve shall fall
below per cent. Two, and possibly
three, Lincoln banks will be affected
in similar manner.

New Company Asks
Phone Franchise
At Nebraska Citv

Nebraska City, Neb., July a.
Especial. 20. G. Leidigh of this city
and H. T. Glessner of Ohio have pre-
pared an ordinance and presented a
copy to each of the three city COM
mssioners, asking for ninety-nine-
year telephone franchise in Nebraska
City. The ordinance specifies that
the city shall give them rights to
the streets and alleys within a GER
tain district for period OF ninety
nine years and subject to certain con-
ditions imposed on them. 1t is also
particularly specified in the proposed
ordinance that the grantees shall not,
except as hereinafter provided, sell
or transfer their conduits, poles,
wires or appliances of any kind to
any person, company, trust or cor
poration now or hereafter engaged in
the telephone or telegraph business,
and shall not at any time enter into
any combination, directly or, indirect
ly, with any person or persons. 1t is
provided, however, that nothing in
the ordinance shall be construed to
prevent the said grantees from leas-
ing portions of its conduits to any
telephone or telegraph, or other COM
panies desiring to use the same or
any portion thereof. And nothing
shall be construed to limit or abridge
the right of the grantees to make
contracts with outlying exchanges
for the division of the tolls earned
over their joint lines.
A combination on rates with any
other company, without the consent
of the city authorities, is also for
hidden, according to the terms of the
proposed ordinance.
Mr.. Glessner was in Nebraska City
about a year ago. The proposition
of an independent plant was taken
up then, but nothing came of it ex-
cept many newspaper stories. The
presenting of the proposed ordinance
by Mr.. Leidigh seems to indicate that
the proposition has not been forgot
ten. Local capital, it is said, will be
behind the venture when the time
comes to organize the company.

TOLEDO, Ohio, June 1.-THE $780,

of the lack Of cash, according to John

said:
q As the proposition was first put to
me, l understood that it was said to re
ceive payment on a cash basis for the
holdings which / would turn over.
There would have been no objection to
such procedure.
''When l discovered that the cash
was not forthcoming and that it was
the intention to carry through the
proposition on a different basis, I de
cided to withdraw
Mr.. WHY'S asserted that fear of vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust act
had nothing to do with the abandon
ment of the combine.
