No Settle ‘W. J. Carroll, representing the Union Pa- cific Railway company, filed a demurrer yesterday in the case of the Sandwich Man- ufacturing company against John Grant. The latter was plaintiff in the case of Grant against the Union Pacific, in which he tried to collect $20,000 for personal injuries ve- ceived while working for the company. After four o1 five trials in the United States courts it was still undecided, und a roport was circulated from the ofice of the com- piny's attorneys in this city that a settle- ment had been agreed upon by which was to have $1.000 and dismiss the As s00n as this report was started the Sand- wich Manufacturing company commenced roceeaings against Grant and garnished he Union Pacific to the amount of some- thing like $800, on account of a Judgment obtained by them away back in 1883 in Ne- braska. Now Carroll comes into court and files an aMdavit in which he s that there has never been any settlement of the old case, on account of the refusal of Grant's attorneys to tho proposition wmade by the company.

GETS JUDGMENT FOR FIFTEEN THOUSAND Ald ol to n Ne Holds Money Was to Towa Com- pany and Then Asslg nised askn fon - Court This Not Log Corpo has another black rendered a decision The motor company oye e yest the iith against the Omaha & Council BluiTs Brid company, and in it he followed almost iden tically the lins of reasoning us fouad in the recent Judge MeGas of the perior court, revoking the compiny's cnar ter. \While not quite so sweepin ture as th other decision, from that the amount of property in v will cost the motor conipany per: before tho cuse is fi dis posed of, in the event of Judge Deemer's de cision being sustained by the suprome court In 1886 the voters of Pottawattamie county voted to assist the Omaha & Council Buuffs Bridige cowpany, as organized under the laws of lowa, in building the bridge be- tween the two cities with a 6-mill tax for the years 1857 and 1883, The anount thus realized, about $30.000, was paud over to J H. Millard, the treasurer of the company, and with it and several hundred thousands of dollars of borrowed monay the company proceeded to erect the bricge. In 1857, be fore the bridge had been built, the company bearing the same name as the lowa company was _incorporated under the laws of Ne- brasks, and on May 14 of that year a con- trict was entered into between the two companies by which the Iowa corporation assigned to the Nebraska corporation the tax money it was Lo receive, and leused to the Nebraska corporation for a term of ninety-nine years ail rights and franchiscs grauted by the eharter of 1886, The Towa corporation in exchange received one-haif of the stock of the Nebraska corporation, nounting to §750,000. All_the work that was done, was donc by the Nebraska corpor- ation. Less than a_year ago a large number of taxpayers of the city signed their claims o Spencer Smith, who com- menced a suit in the district court to r the tax moncy they had voted and | assist the Towa Corporation in dof: work that had been done by that of Ne- braska. RULED OUT BY THE COURT. 1se was tried befor Lmonths ago, and yestarday a decision was rendered by 'him® which completely knocks out the motor company in every par- ticular. ‘The law provides, ho says in sub- stance, that a tax of not to exceed 5 per cent on the' assessed valuation of the property in any city of more than 5,000 population may voted 1o assist any corporation organized or the stato laws in the erection of a Ige, one or_both of whose ends rest on 50il. The iaw not only provides that this must be voted to an lowa corporation, but must be paid to it as well. The intent of the logislaturo was to hmt aid to tho corporations over which the state had in- quisitorial and visitorial powers. The de- fendant only claimed to have the right to the money by viriue of the contract, so that the whole matter resolved itself into two questions: First, the tax valid? and second, can a foreign corporation receive money which was voted to & home corpora- tion? In the decision oceurs the foilowing state- ments: ‘It was evidently not the intention of the legislature to allow a home corpor: tion to organize merely tor the purpose of petitioning aid and then, beforo doing any- thing, to assign the benefits thus obtain to an outside corporation over which tho state would haveno power of tion or visitation, for this would bo giving aid to the outside corporation. The taxpayers cannot be compellea to turn over their prop- erty to outside corporations to aid them in their work, and the courts will not tolerate doing by indlrection what the stautes di- reotly prohibit. “Itis claimed that the law recognizes the right to assign in, providing that the condi- tions to be performed by the company shall be performed by its successors and assigns as well. but it may be well doubted whetner this relates to voluntary nssignments. 1am inchned to think that'the clause was un- doubtedly put in to bind purchasers at fore- closure siles or the like to the performance of the conditions imposed upon - the original owners. “Jf the contract between the two com- panics is void then no rizhts can be claimed by the defendants and the person who should try to compel them to the perform- ance of the conditions would be met with the objection that they werc not bound to perform the conditions because of the in- validity of tho contract. And the lowa cor- poration, not haviug received tho money or built the bridge, would also claim rot to be vesponsible. ‘The Nebraska corporation had no right to build the bridge excepting under the assignment, which we have secn is clearly “illegal, ‘or Tinder the franchise granted to iU by the city council. If under the latter power 1t had no right to have aid voted to 1t. RIGHTS OF CITIZENS, “Every citizen has the right to insist that the money be paid to the company to which he voted'it, to a corporation over which the stato has control und which he can at all times suo in the courts of his own state. He has the right to have the bridge owned by a company orgamzed under the laws of his own state and which shall bear its just bur- dens and be subject to the power of the state. In this caso the money paia as taxes by thoe plaintiff’s assignors has been paid over without authority, under a void con- tract, to a Nebraska corporation, and the plaiLtiff should have judgment for the re- turn thereof with 6 per cent interest from ihe time the same was received by the Ne- braska corporation, Judge Deemer wound up his decision by allowing the defendant ninety days in which to settlo and file a bill of exceptions, for the case will undoubtedly be taken o an appeal to the supreme court. All through the de- cision were quotations from supreme court decisions on the various points involye Tho amourt atstake in this caso is only about $15,000, although the amount of tax money ~ originully paid by the property own W over §50,000. Ior one reason or another the holders of other claims which could bave been incorporated in the suit re- fused to assign their claims to Mr. Smith, and tho time has now passed by for filing petitions.

Delegate Rawlins of Utah has a biil before the committee by which the Indians are to be given lands in severalty, eighty acres for each head of family and forty acres each for other Indians. He proposes that the remainder of the land shall be thrown open to settlement by United States citizens, a _settler to be allowed 166 acres at $1.25 an acre. The mineral lands and lands containing timber of commercial value to be excluded from the plan and gov. erned in their disposition by existing laws he Uintahs now hold about 2,300,000 acres and their neighbors, the mpahgres about 1,700,000 Difficultics exist over the titlo of the Un- compahgres to the lands they hold. They were moved over from Colorado a fow years ago and occupy their present holdings by xecutive order. They were promised agri- cultural lands, however, and not mineral lands. Asphalt deposits of great commercial value have recently heen discoy in their country, 5o that it is very ¢ sot- tlement. Many settlers have staked elaims believing the land to be in Colorado, or claiming to think so. here Is a difference of opinion in the com- mittee over the action to be taken, but it is thought the matter may be settled by dis- posing of the mineral lands separately.

INCLUDES THE RECEIVER Today Judge Decmner issued an order the attorneys that iReceiver Steinke made a party to every suit brought a the bank. The Bee reporter interview depositors toda every and man hun- hotel keeper, went to the farmer, M the sav to be nst d a good many and without exception they lenied that they ever Knew or heard that the institution had surrendered its charter and said they had been lead to believe that the was still being operated under the state la The depositors claim that they were influenced by reputable men outside of the bank to keep their accounts there against their better judgment and several farmers were induced to transfer their accounts from other banks to the Cass county concern. The bank was offering a larger rate of interest for money than any of the others and this in itself was regarded as extremely suspicious by conservative busi- ness men, who got from under as fast as they could, but many of them quit losers in the’ transaction. 1t is charged that when the people began to feel decidedly uneasy, especially those who transacted most of their business in this bank, and began demand an accounting from ' the officers, th .t certain officers and di- rectors called them into their private offices and told them that it was only a temporary stringency, and that if they could keep the confidence ‘of the people the bank would pull through all right. The officers then told these men to go out and tell the people that their money was safe, and that if it came to the worst the bank would see that its inti- mate friends lost nothing. It is alleged that several men were caught by this and guarded their secret until the crash came and then when they began comparing notes the fact dawned upon them that they had been duped. One of the depositors, who sought to avoid the assessor and keep his wealth unknown to his family, had $3,700 on deposit. He swore to having only $200 on deposit, but when the bank failed he was the wildest man in town. He says he will never avoid his just taxes again, For years this bank and its officers has been a factor in county politics and through its Influence was able to obtain control of the funds of a majority of the school dis- tricts. hese funds amount to a considera- ble sum and it remains with the court to de- cide if these claims shall have preference over others In the court yesterday afternoon Attorney De Lano filed twenty-one Intervenor suits for funds held in trust and there arc a good many widows who will lose nearly all they possessed. The clivil suits aro multiplying and there will be endless litigation from now on. The state is represented by County At- torney T. B. Swan, who is assisted by O. Bruce. These men realize the gravity of the situation. The selection of the juries will be conducted with the greatest of care. PEOPLE STILL INTERESTED. There were many farmers in town again today and their chief topic of con- versation was about the bank, the of Recelver Stelnko and the probable ~ action of the Igrand jury. When the bundle of Morning Bees arrived here at noon there was a rush for the news stands and the supply was soon exhausted The papers were read with many approving comments, and were handed around to those who were not for- tunate enough to get a copy of the paper. This is the first time that any attempt kas been made to publish the facts in the case. One farmer stood in front of the bank for several hours yesterday under the impres- sion that the receiver was going to have his report completed and would read it to the public from steps of the bank, like a sheriff selling a piece, of property for taxes. He became quite cold before some kind- hearted citizen told him, the truth about the way the ver's reports:were handled, Some people are inclined to criticise Re- ceiver Steinke for his eurtness with the com- mittee which waited on him yesterday, but his friends say that hes harassed almost beyond endurance, and did not intend to of- fend the men. ' Mry Stginke was also a customer of the bank, and in common with the other depositors he'will lose quite a sum of coin. But there'is one thing cer- tain, his work as recelver will be thoroughly done before he will make his final report The affairs of the bank seem to be in a worse condition than: the: people have any idea of, and the long delay in gaining in formation as well as the hard times has made them a trifle less ceremonious than usual when they are dealing with the sub- ject, WAS IN PORK WITH YACK CUDAHY. President Yetzer's bonds are now $10,000 and Cashier Dickerson's $21,000.

Some one started a effect that the bank rumor was about to fall and when the officers opened up for business in the morning they found a long line of opositora standing outside ready to with Iraw thelr funds. The bank happened t be caught short of ready cash, but nothing daunted Yotzer ordered the doors opened and soon got enough ready money to meot all demands for three or four hours. He then placed a lot of securities and bonds in his pockets, chartered an engine on the Rock Island road, rode to Council Bluffs, sccured $50,000 on his securitic and was back in Atlantic before 10 o'clock that day, ready to pay every depositor in full on demand. Aft ning their polit) cal ends the officers of this bank were ab to conceal anything that might have lost them the confidence of the people. The receiver thinks that he will be able to make his report public Wednesday or Thursday, and he is using every effort to facilitate progress. MAY WAS GUSHING.
