It is charged that a number of circumstances in connection with the removal tend to' show that Ottenheimer was undoubtealy intending to place his property veach of bis creditors, and those of the Eisomans, The goods were packed up in an evident hurry, ail day Sunday being in the work of proparation, and were moved from the store at 4 o'clock Monday morning, The express- man who 1oved them was made Lo promiso that he would say nothing ubout it to any one. The goods wero taken to Owmaha, where they were loaded on the cars ana con- signed to Joseph Simon of Sait Lake, U hulf over tho Union Pacific, and hulf over tho B.& M.

This nng Judgo Smith will hear the question of appoiuting a receiver to take charge of the &1,300 which Ottenheimer claims to have in his possession. In the aftornoon Oitenheimer will be brought be- fore the court to show why he should not be fined for conterpt of couri, he being at lare at present on bonds of §1,400 which were fur- nished by George Schindele.
