At that time she was a mere child and lived with her parents in a little cabin on the shore of Okoboji. The cabin still stands where it used to, and Miss Gardner, instead of ekeing out an humble livelihood by hoeing corn with her own hands, the way her mother used to do, is growing rich charging admissions to the hut and showing piles and piles of Indian relics, According to her story, In the year 1860 the Sioux Indians rushed down upon the little colony that had erected cabins on the lake shore, and exterminated it girls, one of whom was Miss all but three ardner, being tomahawked. The reason for her escape lay in the fact that she snowed a bravery un- common to her sex, and smote the savag: hearts with admiration. They scalped her mother, her father, her brother and two sisters befor her eyes and then took her away with them alive, to ornament their camp, until several years later, when the governor of Minnesota induced some friendly Indians to buy her from her captors and give her back her liberty. All the cabins but her father's had been destroyed by the Indians, but in some way that one had been spared. She obtained possession of it, and started within it a museum which draws a great many half dollars from the visitors. She obtained an appropriation from the legislature of the sum of $7,000, by means of which a monu- ment, fifty-six feet in height, has been erected, and is to be dedicated with ap- propriate ceremonies during the latter part of next month.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia., June 23.—To the remedies, Bditor-of The Bee: I notice a long editorial in this morning’s Nonpareil about press tranchises. During the thirty-cight months I was in control of that paper I can recall no untriendly relations with The Bee about press digpatches, etc. Our reports were abundant, more than we could use, and I certainly ‘know of no Interference with the telegraph rights of the Nonpareil during that time—at least nothing of any conse quence that I can recall or that was not promptly remedi All of my relations with you and General Manager Stone and Presi dent Richardson of the Northwestern Asso. clated press were friendly and courteous in the three years and more I was in_charge. B F. 1 President Nonpareil News and Printing Company. OTE BY THE EDITOR: The Non- pareil has I no well founded grievance either against the Asso- clated press or The Bee. The trouble has all arisen through an irresponsible adventurer who failed to find employment on The Bee staff for himself and his wife and is thus trying to get even attempt to sandbag the Nonpareil Is a_fig ment of his fertile imagination. The Nor pareil was never a member of the Associated press. Its membe hip was in the North- western Assoclated press, an auxiliary of the defunct Western Associated press. In 1890 The Bee made a contract with the Western Assoclated press for its full night report over a leased wire. For this service it paid $7.500 a year, in addition to the tolls imposed by the Northwestern Associated press. While th Nonpareil was paying $1,800 a year The Bec d $10,380 a year for its press report. In The alleged 1892 The Bee was admitted to full member- ship in the Western A January, the oclated press and in 1893, became a charter member of new Assoclated press. Six months later, when the leased wire contract was umed by the Associated press, The Bee was sed at $300 a week for full day and service, with exclusive right to this report for the territory covered by it. The Nonpareil remained in the Northwest- ern Associated press until that organization was dissolved last winter. It continued to b served with an abridged report of the news at a very moderate price. When the man- milliner who now runs the rejuvenated wreck made his advent he conceived the notion that the Associated press must give that paper its full report of 20,000 words nightly t the price he was paying for less than 5,000 words. With this demand the Asso- ciated pr could not comply without cut- ting down the rate charged The Bee to the same level. Hence these te; The story that the editor of The Bee rushed to New York as soon as he learned that the Nonpareil was making another at tempt to get the Associated press report is about as truthful as is the statement that the Sioux City and Des Moines papers are served with the full report at $41 per week Those papers have never received the full Associated press report and could not print the full report if they were to get it free of arge. The mere fact that the editor of The Bee attended the funeral of the latc es W. Scott of the Chicago Times ald and went to New York with the rning funeral party has impre the conceited new nonger over the river with aken idea that he has been cuttin at swath when nobody even thought of him.

Hurd of Climbing HIl Given n Warm Recepticn, SIOUX CITY, June 24.—(Special Tele- gram.)—W. H. Hurd of Climbing Hill, a small town near here, came very near being lynched yesterday afternoon. A short time 1go he was arrested on a charge of cr.mival’y wsaulting his daughter and brought here for s preliminary examination, Saturday he was granted a continuance until July 1, and in default of a bond was committed to jail Yesterday his attorney secured permission for him to drive to Climbing Hill with a deputy sheriff to endeavor to find sureties among his friends. In some way this news reached Hurd's neighbors, who assembled to the number of about fifty on the West Fork bridge, which thelr visitor would have to cross on his way, and made all preparations to string him up to the nearest tree. The affair would unloubtedly have been a success hed not a brother of Hurd's contrived to give the alarm when the deputy eheriff and his prisoner were only a quarter of a mile away. Finding that their man had turnel and was driving back to Sioux City, the lynchers promptly sallied out in pursuit, giving Hurd and the deputy sheriff a lively chase for over a mile before they were shaken off. n Fighting the Snloons.

With these few words delivered from the bench of the federal court yesterday morning, Judge Dundy practically decided the fore closure case of the Farmers Loan and Trust company against the American Water Works company of New Jers The decision involves the Omaha Water Works plant, which has been staggering along in the courts with a burden of com- plex litigation for years. Judge Dundy will prepare the decree and send it to Judge Riner within a few days for the signature of the latter jurist, who heard the case with him. Judges Riner and Dundy conferred in this city a few days ago and agreed upon granting the decree of foreclosure asked for by the plaintiff. Judge Riner prepared a decree, which he left in Judge Dundy's pos- session, but the latter may revise it before fling the same, or may prepare a new des cree. Judge Riner left the subject of re. vision enti in Judge Dundy's hands, and it is regarded as probable that the latter will prepare his opinion in a few days and sena it to his Wyoming colleague, whose con. currence is said to be assured The decision yesterday was precipitate during the hearing of motious, when John L. Webster, attorney for Receiver Clarkson of the American Water Works company of Il nols, made application to file an answer in the foreclosure case, in which the American Water Works company of New Jersey w defendant. The application was denied, nd the judge then expressed some judicial senti- ment, which authorizes an order of sale of the Omaha water works system The foreclosure is for $3,600,000 in bonds held by the Farmers Loan and Trust company of New York, acting as trustees. The $400 000 underlying bonds are not in controversy. There is every probability that John L. Webster, attorney for the defendants, which includes the Venner faction, will appeal the case and carry it to the highest federal tribunal, if the decree now in course of prep aration Is distasteful to the defendant. Mr Webster is authority for this statement and it is als) the sentiment expressed by C. H Venner of Boston while in Omaha recently. The fight has been bitterly waged for yea The story behind the cace is an interesting one. COMPLEX LITIGATION, The present capitalization of stock of the American Water Works company of New Jersey consists of $400,000 in original city water works bonds, $3,600,000 in underlying bonds, $5,000,000 in common stock and $1,000,- 000 in preferred stock, making a total of $10,000,000. The capitalization of the Ameri- can Water Works company of Illinois at the time of the consolidation in 1891 was $6,000, 000 in stock and $400,000 in bonds. This stock was transferred in the deal and many “New Jersey" bondholders secured “Illinois’ stock. A cash consideration exclusive of transfer of stock also figured in the deal. The total capitalization of the Omaha and Denver plants on the date of consolidation was $13, 000,000, of which the Omaha property was d at $10.000,000. The bondholders of the Omaha system are mostly in Néw York, New Jersey, Scotland, Germany, Switzerland and elscwhere. Mr. Venner has secured most of the stock. Owing to the litigation growing out of the attempt to consolidate the Omaha property with the Denver Water Works company the Omaha plant was placed In the hands of receivers in February, 1892, and it became necessary to use some portion of the earn- ings for construction, thus requiring the issuance of coupons. The constant growth of the property made it evident that som: provision should be made for the capitaliza tion of construction expenditures, so that such outlay would not have to be paid from income, thus allowing the earnings to be used for payment of coupons. In June, 18 Yorts were made for a friendly reorganiza tion on a basis equitable to all interests, A committee was formed with Mr. Thallman as chairman. But in a short time Mr. Venner of the original bondholders crossed swords with th mmittee, Harmony seemed to be impos sible in this instance, like preceding ones Mr. Venner is the head of what is known the Venner faction, which recently se- cured control of the Denver plant after a bewildering amount of litigation, in which he had many up and dowr Mr. Venner stopped at Omaha on his return east after achieving that victory in January and told The Bee at that time that he would eventu- ally win back the Omaha plant in the same manner and that it would be to the interests of Omaha to have the local plant out of the hands of the New Jersey company. Upon his return to Boston he sent out confidential circulars to the bondholders of the Omaha sys tem of the American Water Works company the significance of this “literary” move being that he did so over the heads of organization committee. In April, Judge Riner at Lincoln, made a decision re- storing the ownership of the plant to the American Water Works company of Illinois, but not interfering with foreclosure, CONTESTS OF FACTIONS. There has alwaye been more or less con- tention among rival factions in the water works company, the Omaha plant belng the plant at stake. In 1891 C. H. Venner and W. A. Under- wood, at the head of a corporation organized in the east and kaown as the American Water Works company of New Jersey, con- ceived the idea of creating a great trust by buying out the local water works companies in a number of western cities. With this idea in view the company purchased the water works plant in this city, which at that time was the property of the American Water Works company of Illinois. The negotiations were continued and over- tures made to the owners of the plants in Denver, Kant City, St. Louis and St. aul These all fell through, with the exception of the deal to purcuase the Denver plant. In time this purchase was made, and the two plants, the one in this city and the one at Denver, consolidated under the name of the American Water Works company of New Jersey. The bonds of this company were placed on the market, but they were without purchasers, as legal complications concerning the issue arose In February, 1892, the bondholders of the original company commeneed foreciosure pro- Omaha plants went Into the hands of recely- ers, the showing being made at that time that the Denver property was not worth the amount of the bonds that were against it As both properties were then in control of the same company, the Omaha property followed the same course and became the subject of litigation in the courts, The case was ar- gued some months ago and everything went to show that the Omaha property was in good condition financially if allowed to stand upon its own bottom. The stockholders of the Tlinols company made their claim, demanding the return of the property, alleging that the ew Jersey company had failed to live up to terms of its contract HAS HAD LOTS OF THEM. The Omaha plant has been in the hands of recelvers upon three different occasions. Messrs, Ellis L. Bierbower and Alonzo B. Hunt were appointed originally on February 13, 1892, upon application of the Denver City Water Works company, or Sullivan faction This was caused by a big split in the board of directors, which consisted of nine, Includ ¢ the president. Five were necessary for a quorum. During a big row at one of the meetings President Underwood resigned a $15,000 per year position, anticipating prompt re-election to the presidency. But the board of directors fooled Mr. Unierwood Four of the directors were Venner men. The other four were loyal to the Sullivan faction. The repeated efforts to hold a weeting o the boa'd ‘alled as a quorum could th not be obtained, owing to the fact that four of the directors formed a combination to refuse to attend the meetings. Without a president ani without a quorum it was im- possible to transact business. The Denver faction immediately applied for a recefver <hip, and Messrs. Bierbower and Hunt took possession of the plant as Judge Duniy's ap pointees and operated it from February to October 18, 1892, when they were succeeded by E. Hyde Rust of New Jers Mr. Rust was originally appointed eiver by the New Jersey courts in 1892, but found the Omaha plant in posses ion of local receive on an order of the Nebraska court. Mr. Rust then went to St. Paul and secured an order from Judge Caldwell which ousted the local receivel Bierbower and Hunt, on October 18, 184 Rust sought to act as joint receiver of the properties of the New Jersey company at Omaha and Denver, but found that the Den ver plant was also in the hands of a local ccelver, Dennis Sullivan VENNER AFTER RUST. Then followed the Rust regime, with Ven ner of Boston on the trail of the New Jertey re- July receiver, and Mr. Venner was out with lub of generous dimensions fighting Mr. Rust and all his old combatants. In July, 1803, Mr. Rust was removed by order of judge Dundy. Alonzo B. Hunt was pointed to eucceed him and served from July to October 1863, when the Farmers Loan and Trust company jumped into the arena and made application as trustees of the bondholders for the ap- pointment of new receivers. Judge Dundy then appointed E. L. Bierbower and Alonzo B. Hunt, who are now in possession of the plant and whose term of office Is indefinite untll the order of sale is made and the ques- tion of a stay of proceedings is fully deter- mined. E. Hyde Rust zlso has a stack of logal literature prepared by Attorney Charles Offutt on the federal docket. The New Jer- sey receiver filed a petition to have the fed eral court for this district ratify his accounts as allowed by the New Jersey ctancery courts. Judge Dundy detailed Special Master Bodine to investigate the claims and examine the books during Rust’s administration and the special master’s report disclosed many in teresting things, culminating with a recom- mendation that over $5,000 of the Rust ac- counts, ete., be disallowed. The report of the special master has mot as yet been fully passed upon by Judge Dundy, but the latter recently threw out Rust's application for a croza bill in the foreclosure case. The air is now filled with talk about mu- nicipal ownership of the water works plant and there is a rumor prevalent that an at- tempt will be made to urge the city to buy it. It is positively stated that will be bought in at the sale by castern capital and that improvements aggregating over $1,000,000 will be put in when once the be- wildering litigation is settled. In event of appeal matters in this respect will doubtless remain at a standstill until the court of last resort upon the question, In the meant vers Bierbower and Hunt will 10 business at the same old stand. dhsia s o It you would always have deliclous pastry 1se only Dr. Price’s Baking Pow il Killed tn » Dranken Frolie.
