Davis for Murder. H. Mueller, manager of the Chi cago branch of the Crane manufacturing company, flies a rather spicy affida vit in support of its petition to set aside certain deeds of the members of the late Arm of Dean Horton, judgment debtors of the Crane company, It being alleged that they were made for the purpose of putting the property beyond the reach of creditors. Mueller swears that not long since Dean applied to him for a position, saying that ished to work out his half of the debt of the firm of Dean Horton; that aflllant told him he had no position for him, but upbraided Dean for the shameful way In which he had treated them by putting his property be yond the reach of creditors. He says Dean replied that it was done to pro tect creditors, that if the property had been levied on and sold at that time it would have gone for a song, and It would have not satisfied the debts at that time.

Mueller swears Dean said several times that he expected the creditors would break the deeds but the cases would be held In court so long that by that time a good price could be obtained for the property. WERE WITH THE PRIEST. Bishop Bonncnm's Exconimanlcatlon Ser vices Didn't Draw the Crowd. The promise of intensely interesting rivalry In religious services down at Tecumseh yesterday was not mislead- Catholics and protestants were alike stirred up by the movement by Bishop Bonacum to install a new priest there in place of Father William Murphy. According to his promise Bishop Bonacum went down and personally conducted services.

They were held in the Seaver opera house. It was supposed that the presence of the bishop would bring out a large attendance, but reliably reported that he spoke to an audience of but thirty-four persons, only fourteen of whom were members of the Catholic church at Tecumseh. The grievances of the bishop against Father Murphy and Father Fitzgerald of Auburn were detailed and the priests roundly denounced for the disrespect the bishop claims they are showing their superior in the church. Their expulsion from the diocese was affirmed and they were excommunicated from the church. The bishop then installed in the Tecumseh charge Rev.

J. C. Carraher of Lincoln. Services for next Sunday were an nounced to be held at the opera house, and a trustees' meeting of the local or Ejanlzation will be held at the home of the priest In Smartville next Wednes day. For the present Rev.

Father Car raher will reside with the Smartville priest. Father William Murphy heid services at St. Andrew's church at the usual hour, and so vast was the throng of church members and citizens that turn ed out to hear the reverend gentleman standing room in the commodious house cf worship was at a premium. It was the largest audience ever assembled in a Tecumseh church. Many were turned away from the doors, unable to get admission.

Father Murphy ex pressed his pleasure at being honored oi the occasion with such a magnificent congregation, and entered in detail into the trouble that Is existing between the bishop and himself. Many important letters in reference to the case were read. He claimed that the bishop had brought this scandal upon the church solely from the fact that Fitzgerald and himself refused to extort certain large sums of money from their parishioners to be used in furthering the bishop comforts of life. In concluding. Father Murphy pressed the hope that the members of the congregation would not form any opinion in the case either pro or con.

un til the evidence on both sides had been carefully weighed and the matter giv en a hearing before the proper church authorities. If the verdict of that tri bunal shall be favorable to the opposi tion, he will willingly step down and out without further controversy. the meantime as the duly authorized pastor of that charge he will conduct the customary services at the church BASEBALL NOTES.

and or thS The Subject of the Morning Sermon at the Second Presbyterian Church. The Second Presbyterian church was well filled before the hour of service yesterday morning. Dr. Scott preached on the subject. "Man's Morality Not of Himself," netting forth In brief: The overruling providence of God.

He created all thing's mind and matter, livery gift we have is from Him. Is man brilliant? It is from God. Is he a logical thinker? It is from God. Does he have right ideas of morality? Is he honest and truthful from principle? He ought to thank God for these gifts. Because he is not a professing Christian, church-member, does not excuse him.

If I receive gifts, constant aid from a friend, I would be ungrateful not to stand by that friend. Is It not a similar case, oh, moral man? Who gave your principles of morality? What you have you have from God, but He will not make it of permanent gain to you unless you acknowledge Him. This Is reasonable. It appeals to your own sense of right and justice. God demands recognition of His gift gratitude, worship.

Why do you withhold it? Evening subject, "Waiting to be Saved." The impotent man was waiting, (1) for the troubling of the waters and (-) for some one to put him Into the pool. Christ said to him. "Arise, take up thy bed and wall'." Millions of men are in the condition of the impotent man. They put off coming to be saved for some great manifestation of the spirit, or for some great man to proclaim the gospel. God's plan of salvation is indi vidual.

It depends upon the willingness of the individual to be saved, to ask for salvation. A man sound of body would be considered out of hit- senses if he would go to a railroad station and there sit and wait for the con ductor to put him aboard the train. The train comes, stops, waits. But it is or the individual to voluntarily step out and board the train. So with God's plan of salvation.

Do not wait for Him to pick you up and put you on the way to heaven. You must take the stand yourself. "Ask and ye shall receive." Ab at every service many signed cards expressing a desire to lead a Christian life. The meetings will continue every night this week. NO CIVIC INDIFFERENCE.

Cltiiens Beginning to Manifest an Interest in Conncllmanlc Doings. Attorney John P. Maule was today-engaged In drawing up a protest to present, to the city council this evening against the allowance of the monthly claim of the electric lighting company for the street lights. The protest will be based upon the alleged ground that the contract was illegally let by the council without advertising for bids and that Councilman Lawlor Is superintendent for the electric lighting com pany. and therefore such an interested party in its securing the contract that he put a quietus upon the power of the council to contract with the company The protest is not likely to receive any great degree of favorable consideration in the council.

The combination may be safely put down as against it and it will doubtless only serve as a possible-basis for an injunction restraining the payment of the monthly claim, which will afford a test case upon which the controversy may be decided in courts upon its merits. The three most Important matters that have been handled during the life of the present council are the refunding bond sale, the order for an issue of bonds for the northside viaduct and the electric lighting contract. It looks as if the city and the council tvlll soon have a lawsuit on their hands for each of these important acts. Green ffc Van Duyn will sue for their compensation for the sale they claim to have made of the refunding bonds, a citizens' com mittee will enjoin the issue of the via duct bonds and another committee of citizens will endeavor to enjoin the en forcement of the new electric lighting contract. Civic indifference appears to be a back number.

There Is considerable speculation as to the probable course of the council In relation to the double veto of the sale of the refunding bonds to Elmer St- phenson. The real reason for the final veto of this action by the mayor Is au thoritativel7 said to be that the part: for whom Elmer Stephenson was act Ing as agent concluded, after the sale had been vetoed by Acting Mayor Web ster. that he did not want bonds with su a history, and the mayor was at liberty to veto the sale also. is thought that the council will hard ly re-enact the measures vetoed, by Mr. Webster, and It Is thought that a sale will be ordered and advertised.

PRETTY, HARD-FOUGHT CONTEST. Tho Nebraska Champion Go Down With Colon KlyliiR Magnificent Crowd Out to Cheer the UnWentlty Hoys on to Victory, but They Prove to bo Eauy for the Past Kantian in the Last Half.

A Game as Was a Game. The Kansas-Nebraska football game drew a large and enthusiastic crowd to the street park Saturday afternoon. The bleachers were packed. The grand stand contained more than corporal's guard of more or less beautiful maid Along the line on the south side gaily bedecked carriages were drawn up and the spaces between were tilled up with the more enthusiastic of the university students. From any part of the- Held the spectacle of this crowd a pleasant sight.

The scarlet and cream and the crimson of the Kansas boy were just enough in evidence to give th ncc-ssary enlivening toned ol bright olors to the spectacle. The ever-presen in horn and the systematized yell the Nebraska rooters assailed the ear from every side. Be it said to the credit of the university boys that they sh eiieeu; ngement to their team almost much in the last half, when the shaii ow of defeat was already upon them, a the tlrst half, when the eagle bird ci lctory seemed seriously to meditat aking up a permanent abode upon the banners of the scarlet and cream. It was a football game from start to finish. And the best team won.

It was fiercely played and often time was call ed to allow some padded knight of the grid-iron to collect his scattered sei The final score, to 4 In favor of the Jayhawkers, shows the closeness of the battle. In the line Nebraska showed up as strong as their opponents, except at the ends. On their end runs In the last half Piatt and Stone seemed to successfully box up Hlgglns and Thorpe, hich left the brunt of the tackling for the Nebraska backs, who could not break up the Kansas interference. At center Melford was more than a match Walker. He frequently broke through and worried the Kansas interference.

Bud Jones easily bested Ham- II, the mighty hole-maker, as the boys call him. Jones also made some good tackles and gained ground when the ball was given to him. The university team could make few gains around the ends. Thomas does not seem to have developed this style of play as it should be developed. Their gains were made through the line, usually, between Hay ward and Jones.

In bucking the line we can give Kansas points. In end-running we were clearly out-matched. When the Nebraska team appeared on the field a mighty shout went up from 3,000 spectators. Such has never been witnessed be fore in this city at any college game. The Kansas men were greeted also with a yell as they leaped down from their coach, wrapped In bed quilts of various hues and patterns, and stalked stoically about.

They looked the more stalwart and dangerous from the excess of ear and head pads and other paraphernalia which they carried. With two football coaches, one being the celebrated Hector Cowan of Princeton himself, and a little trainer, who at every stop in the game ran around reviving his men with water from a mysterious long-necked bottle, they were enough to inspire awe in the staunchest heart. From the side lines Captain Young and Coach Bliss of the Missouri team watched the game with interest. What they learned regarding the Kansas style of play will be used to advantage in the Missouri-Kansas game on Thanksgiving day. During a long wait occasioned by the inability to select an umpire suitable to both sides, the crowd amused itself by yelling and horn-tooting and meanwhile gazing with amusement and awe upon a youth from Doane with impossibly long hair of an Impossible golden hue curly yellow hair, which cried aloud for twenty-flve cents worth of amputation.

About half-past three the ball was put Into play. Nebraska won the toss and took the west goal and the wind. Williamson kicked off to Hayward. who regained ten feet before he was sent to grass. And then the fun commenced.

After several bucks Nebraska lost the ball on downs. Now the youths from the land of hot winds started off at a right merry clip. Williamson. Outland. Gump and big Hamill hit the line for good Williamson is a star.

He and hits the line like a fiend. On the twenty-yard line the Nebraska line hfld up and took the ball on downs. After this in the first half Nebraska playd on the Tensive almost entirely. Few end runs wto attempted. Shedd, Fair and Hud Jons hit th" lin-at Hayward for long gains.

Fair and Shedd could not bo sIotijh-yI. At Kansas' thirty-yard line Whipple was sent Ifcrouph for a fifteen-yard darh. but unfortunately lost the rall when downed by a hard tackl- by Gump. When Whipple lost the ball, after several l-icfflrjent attempts lo icnln. punted to Sr.ooner.

An Investigation of Judge Wat ers' Record Possible. DESIRES TO EXAMINE THE FILES, Watch Repairer Object Belug Mistaken a to HI Calling Chance iu the Hay Folic Force -Tapped Two Till Lost His Gold 'Watch-HreTlUes From the Police Station, What Will he the Itesalt? It is stated on pretty reliable author lty that there Is a liability of an inves tigation of the record of Police Judge Waters since he assumed the reins of office.

The judge is known to be an aspirant for re-nomination at the hands of the republican convention next spring for the office which he now holds, and the rumored investigation will doubtless be made for the purpose of ruining chances for the longer tenure of his office. The current report was given some little strength this morning when Mtorney D. G. Courtney called at the police station and asked to be allowed to look over the files of the ufllce. The judge replied that he was very busy at that time, but that if Mr.

Courtney- would call in the morning he could examine any riles that he might want to r. Courtney then went awaj with the assurance that he would be on hand in the morning. Judge Waters was seen afterwards and he told a News representative that Mr. Courtney had made divers threats against him in a political way and that he expected him to make a fight against his re-nomination. The judge thought that the attorney was provoked by reason of the disposition made of the McCann case In which he was counsel.

In regard to the matter of examining the files, the judge said: "Why, I shall certainly allow Mr. Courtney to look over any files that I have, but I shall not allow a promiscuous examination of all the files for three years back; they do not do that in any court and I hall not allow It The gentleman will have to call for the files that ne desires to look at." Police Pickups. Officer Ab Carder resumes duty on the police force this evening after hav ing enjoyed a thirty days' vacation. The "Big Onion" restaurant under the viaduct was entered by a sneak thief last night and the till was tapped for $17. Jesse Morris, an employe, was ested on suspicion.

The till In the Capital cafe touched last night for sixty cents. his haste the thief who had come In the front door by means of a skeleton key, left $1.90 in the drawer. Charles Patterson is another of the young men who are supposed to have created such a disturbance at the birth day party at Mr. Lobaugh's house on A street some time ago. He was arrested yesterday and his trial is set for Frl day.

H. Hucklns reported to the police Saturday night that his young son had been sent to the postoffice with a money order for $5. but had not returned, was reported last evening to have turned. How he was received was not reported. G.

Osburn is minus a gold watch and a pocketbook containing some valuable papers. He left them In a lava tory in the Alexander block at Twelfth and streets and when he discovered the negligence and returned for them they were missing. Officer Sipe was today promoted to day sergeant while Harry Nightengale was assigned to a beat. The mayor gave no reason for making the change other than that he desired to, and the officers arotjicl the stati seem to be in ignorance of the cause. Officer Nightengale says he prefers a beat for a number of reasons.

Judge Waters and the Jap who runs a place on the reserve had a little tilt Saturday evening over the fine to be assessed against him. and the slant-eyed gent got much the worst of it. He was of the opinion that J14.70 was too much while the court thought that it should be made so large that it would compel people of his Ilk to leave the city. The Jap concluded wisely and just In time to pay the JH.70. George Schlagel.

Only losing the bull iiue they carried the ball across by the hardest kind of work. It was no snap: for the Nebraska Hue held hard. The feature of this part of the game was a neat tackle of HamiU by King. On the kick-out the catch was muffed, making no goal. Score 4 to 0.

On the kick-oft Outlaud made a good run of fifteen yards. The university team soon got the ball In downs. By fierce llne-rushlng, chiefly by Fair, Shedd and our two guards, the ball wa forced to Kansas' five-yard line. Her the Jayhawkers held us hard for four downs. Even Fair could not curry th ball over for a goal.

The skin went Kunsas on downs one yard from th line. Kansas wius forced to punt, which Fftlr blocked and dropped on the ball behind the line. Shedd missed a hard goal. Score to 4. When Kansas took the ball on down they started with a vim for another goal.

The Nebraska team seemed tired out by their exertions in the first half, while the Kansas backs were seemingly as fresh ns ever. End runs of ten and fifteen yards by Outland. with a twenty-yard run by Hill around th right end, scored them another touchdown. Outland failed to kick goal. See l-'ai t-out for forty-five yards.

"Indian" Piatt made the prettiest run of the game for forty yards, aided by most excellent blocking. The game ended with the ball at the center The two teams were evenly matched. Nebraska's style of play is much mort tiring than Could they hav made end runs and given the backs a rest from their constant bucking, the score might have been changed. Fair played an excellent game for his team. As a full-back he Is scarcely to matched in the association.

Orlia Thorpe made some excellent tackles. In Piatt he had a strong and experienced opponent -and held his own fairly well. Hayward played his opponent to a stand-still. The Nebraska team Is to criticised chiefly on account of ita fumbling. Fumbles at critical times loet them the game.

Kansas looks like the prize-winner Ik the association this year. They have-but four points scored against them. Our team is good for third, or possibly second place. First Is now out of their reach. The line-up: Kansas Piatt, Capt.

There Is one hope left lovers of th grid-iron sport in Lincoln. Next Saturday the high school eleven will go down to Omaha to engage the high school team of that city In a game to decide the championship of the interscholas-tlc league. Last year the Omaha team came to this city and defeated Lincoln by a score of 20 to 12, and the previous. year Omaha was also victorious by jk score of 16 to G.

This year the Lincoln team has received some excellent university coaching, as a result of whlchi It has not been beaten during the yearB and it confidently expects to even up with Omaha for past reverses put upoE Frank Crawford, last year's university coach, disciplined the Omaha team during the early part of this season. This team has not had a game this year with any high school team, although it has challenged all the teams In Nebraska. Western Iowa, DesMoines and Minneapolis. It has appeared, however, in several well-fought battles with other organizations, and the recent game between the state university team and the university club team of Omaha, nine of the latter eleven were member of the Omaha high school team.

A special venire of sixty was necessa- it Saturday, and the sheriff force busy yesterday fracturing the Sabbath Anv and serving summons. A rather amusing Incident occurred this morn-ins during the examination of this spe venire, the name of E. J. Weston was called by Clerk Baker, and in an swer thereto a woman came from the body of the courtroom and presented "herself to be sworn to render a fair and Impartial verdict In said cause. Judge Holmes, however, informed her that un der the laws of this state, regardless of the injustice of the discrepancy, construes a female to be incompetent to serve as a juror, and he therefore xcused her.

She had, however, exer elsed the masculine prerogative of get ting her $2 attendance and mileage fees from Clerk Baker. She lives near Woodlawn. It not infrequently hap pens that women who are assessed on the lists for property owned oy tnem whose femininity is concealed under simple initials, are drawn on the jury. They generally send the went numor ous or curt notes, but Mrs. Weston was accustomed to the obeying of the law mandates, and seemed perfectly wil ing to express her opinion on the innocence or guilt of the accused, If the law insisted on her doing so.

It is stated that one of the men who had been summoned as a juror to be ex on his voire dire was approach ed by an emissary of the Rock Island and told that if he would get on the jury and stay there and vote right, he could have all the transportation he would desire for the rest of his life the matter was not brought to the at tcntion of the court it is suspected that the story was not well authenticated The court excused the jury at noon until the afternoon session. It was Ju ror Smith's first experinece on a mu der trial, and he nonchalantly picked up his hat and lit out for home, under misunderstanding: of what the court bad said. He had not gone very fa however, untii he was overhauled dow town and he went back with the other jurors to the care and surveillance of bailiff, where he will remain until af ter the verdict is in.
