Leads to Con- siderable Litigation, CHARGED WITH TRYING TO DEFRAUD New York Firm Makes Some fntoresting Statements In a Potition Filed Yes- terday—tiankers of the Capital City ‘nvolved. TLINCOLN, Jau. 27.—[Special to Tur Bee.] — A somewhat sensational case was com- menced In district court today against the First National bank of this city, growing out of tne failure of I, Meyer & Co. last August. The suit in question is commenced by Claflin & Co. of New York. Last August the firm of L. Meyer & Co. closed its doors after giv- ing a bul of sale to the First National bank. The bank people took possession of the stock and held undisputed possession until a burly constable armed with a writ of attachment sworn out by a representative of Claflin & Co. managed to get possession. Still later the First National bank replev- fned the goods and commenced a suit for damages aguinst Claflin, Today the latter fivm files A petition in which 1t neglects to minco words in telling what it belioves to have been the insiae history of the case. It alleges that the Dbill of salo given by Moyor was a fictitious one and intended suiply to defraud honest creditors and that the firm owed the First National bank no such sum of money and that the goods given o the bank under the bill of sale were worth several times as mach as tho bill called for. They allege further that tho bankrupt firm had a line of credit consisting of securities and bonds held by the bank and sufticient o meot an uhl\g.llwn due the bank. The firm of Clatlin & Co. asks to be restored to the possession of the stock on the grounds of fraud in the all 0 the bauk and also asks that the suit damages instituted by the bank be missed. dis- Fighting for an Ofiice. Louie Otto has takon his contest for a gonstableskip to the district court, where ho hopes to obtamn the emoluments' that are now denied him by the couuty commis- sioners. Otto was appointed to fill the v cancy created by the sudden removal of Con- stablo Mallory from the city. At the time of the appointment it was supposed that Otto would simply servo until January 1, But Mallory had baen re-clected, aud had he romained in the city would have beon en- titlea to hold his oftico until January 1, 1396, Otto came to the conclusion that his ap- pointment to fill the vacancy would extond is timo to Jamuary 1, 1506, just the same, and he filed” a bond and quali- fled for tho offce as soon as his attor- neys came to the same conclusion, The county comwissioners rofused Lo approve the bond and appointed another man, pend- ing the settlemont of the controversy. Otto asks the court for a peremptory writ of mandamus compelling the commissioners to approve the bond. ‘The court has made the yrit returnable next Wednesday morning. [} Lost His Traveling Grip, Charles Do Wolf, o Kansas City travoling man, is bustling around in the vicinity of Lincoln for a grip coutaining about §00 worth of outlery, which was stolon from him last pight. Ho carried the grip to the Missouri Pacitic depot, intending to take the night train for home. He sot it down in the waiting room and walked around without paying much attention to it. When he wanted it he discovered that some one had made away with it. At the same time an expressman noticed that his wagon was missing, and it was surmised that the same thief who took the grip drove away the wagon, Later in the night the horse and wagon were found near the home of the pwaer, but all efforts to locate the grip so far have failed. Explosidn of a Boller. A terrific explosion startled the peovle on ']'lv\'uu(h stroot shortly after 8 o'clock this afternoon. It occurred in the basemernt of the Richards block, one of the largest office buildings in the city, and a large crowd rushed to the spot. Investigation disclosed the fact that a hot water boiler used to sup- ply the bath tubsof a barber shop had ex- ploded with considerable force. The boiler weighed about 200 pounds, and was forced by the explosion from the basemont througn the floor above and almosy through the secona story floor. It then fell back to the floor. The room has been vacat>d but a few days, and a force of paper hangers were decorating the ceiling at the time of the ex- plosion. In its upward flight the boiler passed within four inches of tha head of a paper hapger at work on a high ladder, throwing him to the floor sixteen feet be- neath with considerable force. The explo- sion shattered tho heavy plate glass win- dows in the front of the building. The fire department responded to an alarm, bat there was no necessity for its presen e WALKER SENTENCED TO DEATH, Murderer of Steveus at Farnam Will Dlo May 11.

Alter o time there were rumors that several city officials were removing coal from tho city's stores. { A special meeting of the council was sum- moned to investigate the matter. A number of interested citizens endeavored to attend the meeting, but were excluded. Howover, 1t was learned that little was done excent to postpone the investigation. Water Commis- sioner Pollard said he weighed and charged the conl at cost price, and considered that the city's employes were entitled to it.

Cyphers and Clarence Elllott Find the Citizons of David City Too Shrewd to Be Easily Deceived, Davio Ciry, Neb,, Jun, 27.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—Amoug the cases on trial at the last term of thedistrict court was that of John W. Cyphers against the estate of Joseph L. Cyphers to racover $1,500 on o note alleged to have been given at Rising City, in this county, in August, 1837. The note had been declared to be a forgery and rejected by the county court, and the case was heard on ap- peal. John W. Cyphors testified as to the giving of the uote by his brother to him, and a young man named Clarence Elliott testi- fied to being in Rising City at the time and suw the execution and delivery of the instru- ment. On cross-examination, however, ho could remember but litlle about any oiner transaction while ho was in Rising City, and the jury gave so little weight to tho testi- mony that they found for the defendant. Confessed His Gullt, An information was filed against him for perjury, aud he was brought buck from Deland, 11!, on a_requisition from (GGovernor Crounse, and jailed about Christmas. T'wo weeks ago he broke down on seeing a party from Fairview, 1lL., with whom he had been acquainted in'Pennsylvania from boyhood, and who knew he was there at the time he had sworn he was in Rising City. His story is_that shortly after the death of Joseph L. Cyphers his two brothers con- spired to rob the estate by means of forged uotes, aud had bargained with him to per- jure himsolf by swearing he was preseut and saw the notes signed. Jolin Cyphers Arrested, As soon as the county attorney got Elhott's confession he tiled an information against John W.
