M INSURANCE COMPANIES SUED Buckstaff Brothers Manufacturing Company of Lincoln Creates a Sensation, WANT PAY FOR THEIR BRICK WORKS Policles Not Honored ,on the Plea that the Valuation of the Plant Was Placed Too High by the Ownors, LincoLw, July 15.—[Special to Tre Ber. | — A series of suits was filed in the district court of this county this afternoon which will create something of & sensation n in-, surance circles all over the country. The suits were flled by the Buckstaff 8ros.’ Man- ufacturing company of Lincoln against thirty- four prominent insurance companies, the amount sued for ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 in each case. The cases grow out of the de- struction by fire of the brick works owned and operated by the Buckstaff company in this city, last February. The works were the largest in the state and did a large busi- ness in the manufacture and sale of vitrified paving brick, shipping the product to Omaha and all prominent oities in the west. On February 18 of the present year the works burned, resulting in @ complote loss to the company. It was believed at the time that the com- pany would resume business as soon as the insurance could be adjusted and the money received from the company; but for some reason not yet clearly understood in this city the insurance companies refused to honor their policies and all attempts to reach a settlement have failed. The companies claum, among other things, that the valua- tlon of tho works had been placed at too high a figure and thav the loss was not nearly as great as ropresented by the com- pany. Anattempt was made at one time to settle the matter by arbitration, but nothing oame of it, aud 8o the matter bas found fts way into the courts. Prominent Compaules fnvolved, Today Attorney Wheedon, representing the Buckstaff company, filed suits against the following companies, the figures after each name ropresenting the amount of their respective pollcies: ZAtna Insurance company. 1,500 Awerlcan Contral Insuran N e 1 i Tosurance company of Philas .'i.,}m. w0 boticios b1,00.. ’ ey ar) Americ d Atl com| lation of Philadelphi; Insurance company of New- any of Frooport pids Kiro [nsurance company . to Firo Insurance compa; burg-Breuien Fire Iusurance pany. . .

On Feb- ruary 16 the property covered by the policy was burned and wholly destroyed by fire without criminal fault on the part of the plaintiff, and said fire did not originate by any act, procurement or design of the plain- Giff. At the time of the fire and within thirty days thereafter the plaintiff gave duo notice and vroof of loss. Judgment is asked for the amount of tho policy, costs and $250 attorney’s fees in ench case, Itisalso stated that suits for damages will be commenced against each of the in- surance companies and that following an at- tempt will bo made to prevent the companies interested in the matter from doing business in the state of Nebraska. The friends of the plaintiff company believe that the com- panies can be prosecuted under -the anti- trust law now upon the statute books, for the reason that all of the companies are practically controlied by an organization formed for the purposeof maintaining rates. Flled Sensational Charg: Dr. S. D. Mercer came into the Lancaster county district courttoday with some volum- inous documentary allegations in which ho charges a number of the estimable citizens of Plattsmouth with conspiracy. The his- tory of the case as set forth in" the papers filed with tho clerk of the district court is bricfly as follows: Some time since the Sprague Electric Motor company commenced a suit in the district court agairst Dr. Mer- cer to recover a balance of $5.000 alleged to be due the company for the equipment of the Plattsmouth street railway, of which he 'was one of the stockholders. “The Sprague ople obtained a judgment for the amount, ut afterwards the court set the verdict aside. In the papers filed in this city today Dr. Mercer alleges that in 1830 the Sprague Motor company, O. H. Baliou, the Western Engimeering company and seyeralindividuals claiming to bo officers in tho Plattsmouth Stroet Railway company, entered into a con- spiracy to defraud him and several other heavy stockholders. In pursuance of the conspiracy Ballou and others pretended to bave entered into a contract with the Sprague Motor company and the Western Enginecering’ company for the necessars equipment to transform the Plattsmouth horse car system intg an electric system. Dr, Mercer, as one of the stockholders, refused to consent 10 the improvement in the sys- tem, and so notified the parties who held the contract from the pretended officers. In spite of his notice, however, they went ahead and equipped the line with ‘electric Jpower. When the work was completed the rty failed to pay running expenses, and nally sold under a foreclosure of a e, the Sprague company being the The road is mow operated by that company. Dr. Mercer alleges that the whole scheme was concocted to defraud him aud other stockholders of their interest in the Plattsmouth company. Auother Slde to the Story, Tho Lausing-Oliver imbroglio has ocoupled tho boards in Lincoln, in the absence of any other histrionic attractions, for some time, but the probability is that the curtain will fall for the last time with the following epilogue given to the local representativos of whe stute press by Mr. Oliver this after- noon: Mr. L. C. Burr, as attorney for Church and Oliver, had recently made & collection of $500. The mouey really belonged to Lansin & Oliver, being part of the subscription fun to the theater buudiog, and was by Mr. Burr, without Oliver's concurrence, paid 1o Lausing. Of course it was Lansing's duty, on receiving the joint money, to pay Oliver his part. On the morning on this alterca- tion Oliver had gone out with a rent card, tacks and hatehet, and had tacked tho 'card on his vacant house on P street, east of tho theater. In returuing he had to pass Lansing's office and weut in to ask Lansing for his part of the #00, as ho had been directed by Mr. Burr to do. But it seems Mr. Burr had also instructed Lansing to be ready for Oliver in case tho lntiar cams to his ofico; so Lausing was armod with a loaded cane’ with whicl he threateningly assaulted Oliver. It was a mere accident of course that Oliver had a batchet in his haud, but & most fortunate ous for Oliver. When Lausing saw hatohet he took refuge with his loaded cane and gun bohind the door, Oliver thinks it was tho hatchet that saved his life. The arrest that followed was purely malicious, the first inteation of Lansing being only to swear out a peace warrant and the charge of felonv being made only after learning that 81,000 was the limit of the bénd under a peaco warrant, Oliver promises that his running at large will not endanger the public peace. Asking Executive Clemency. Pat O. Hawes of Omaha came to Lincoln this afternoon for the purpose of laying a tearfui appeal before the governor for the pardon of George Reed, an Omaha man sent 10 the penitentiary two years ago for grand larceny, Reed received s four-years' sen- tenco for stealing o jug of whisky and sev- eral doliars in cash from asaloon atthe corner of Sixteenth and Nicholas strests and was convicted upon the testimony of a woman with whom ho boarded. The woman afterward said that if she had known that the penalty was imprisonment in the peni- tentiary she would not have testified against him, The judge, prosecuting attorney and a number of jurors have signed a petition for his pardon, Another case now under consideration by the governor.is that of David Tobin, con- victed of grand larceny at the last term of court in Douglas county. The jurors who convicted Tobin havo signed the usual peti- tion for pardon and recommend the exercise of executive clemency on the grounds that it was Tobin's first offense, that he was in bad company and his only share in tho guilt was in recciving the proceeds of tho robbery. The governor has the papers undor advise- ment. Gosslp at the State House, Commissioner of Public Lands and Build- ings Humphrey started upon an eastern trip this morning, A mooting of the State Board of Publio Lands and Buildings calied for this after- noon was postponed unfil Monday in order to give the State Banking board” an oppor- tunity to go into executive session.

' Lincoln In Brief, John Rozsustein and Mary Cooper, the former a waiter in a local chop house, and the latter a comely young miss of some 17 seasons, were' arrested late last night upon the complaint of Mrs. Wilson, a boarding house keeper at 1183 Q street.
