JUDICIAL PREFERENCE NANY SEEK FOR Demur to Some and Anawer of the Petitions in Inter- vention Kiled Since Liqui- dation Commen Judge Thornell will hold a special sos sion of district court today to pass upon the preferged claims i d against the Ofcer & Pusey bank. The number of these claims 1s quite large and the amount in volved is comsiderable. In most instances the applicants base their claims for prefer- ence on the grounds that the moneys de posited with Officer & Pusey were trust funds and were known to be such by the members of the firm. Receiver Bereshelm and Murphy are anxious to have these pre ferred claims disposed of by the court, as le to de- clare a dividend. With the preferred claims once out of the way they expect to be able to declare a dividend of per cent from the moneys now in their hands before the first of the new year. The receivers yesterday filed demur: in some cases and answers in others to the petitions of intervention of the ap- plicants for preferred claims. Demurrers were filed in the cases of A. T. Flickinger, Morris Hough, administrator of the estate of Cecilia Hough; Morris Hough, adminis- trator of the estate of J. R. Hough; Philip Jeffries, trustee for Marfan Jeffries; Wil liam Larsen, administrator of the estate of Hans Bosen, and the Nebraska Natlonal benk of Omaha. In each of these cases the receivers demur to the application on the grounds “that the alleged deposit of the funds of the intervenor with Officer & Pusey were rightfully made and that the intervenor is aimply a general creditor of said firm."" Basin of the Answers, Answers were filed by the recelvers in the following cases: H. B. Knowles, guardian of Lamont Orr; Woman's Chris- tian association; J. J. Stewart, administra- tor of the Addison Cochran estate; J. J. Hughes, administ or of the estate of Thomas B. Hughes; 8. G. Underwood and J. T. Oliver, administrators of the estate of D. F. her. The receivers in their answers, which are alike in each case, deny the right of the inter ors to preference and allege that “At the time of the alleged deposits made by the intervenors the bank- | ing house of Officer & Pusey was old, well extablished and of the highest repute for solvency and security and the deposits claimed were made in good faith in the ex- cicise of reasonable prudence.” Mrs. Ella O. Pinney, as administrator of | the estate of the late Dr. Charles H. Pin- ney, filed a petition of intervention yester- day, asking that her deposit of $1,148.64 in | the ‘Officer & Pusey bank be declared a pre- ferred claim, as being a trust fund. Willlam P. Officer for himselt and the Western Lumber company, filed a_petition | of intervention, in which he asks that de- ra _ | posits standing to his credit and that of the lumber company be offset against cer- tain notes endorsed by him, which form part of the assets of the bank. The amount standing to the credit of the lumber com- pany is $184.18, and to the credit of Wil- liam Ofcer is $807.38, making a total of $991.56. The notes which Willlam Officer endorsed are long since past due and u paid and aggregate $1,406.92 without inter- est. Willing to Settle, In his petition he states he is willing that the moneys standing to his and the lumber company's credit be offset against these not ch were executed respec tively in 1891 and 1896, The petitioner 15 a son of the late Thomas Officer, senior member of the banking firm. P. C. DeVol, after the Officer & Pusey bank pased into the hands of the receivers, pald two notes held by the bank amount- ing to $1,000. He had on deposit in the bank $172.94, which the receivers refused to apply against the notes. He has filed a petition of intervention asking that his clalm be made a preferred one on this ac- count.

The hearing on the garnishment had been con- tinued from time to time at the request of the company's attorney in Omaha, until one day the latter notified Hendricks that Bohrer had taken advantage of the federal bankruptey law. This the Omaha attorney evidently presumed settled the matter, but it did mot. The hearing on the garnish- ment was et for yesterday morning and when the Standard Oll company failed to appear to prove up Its answer Attorney Hendricks secured his judgment and execu- tion against the company was issued.

Senter, be- fore the latter's friends had time to serve 4 writ of habeas corpus, took no chances at losing his man en route through similar proceedings. From the driver of the buggy, in which Davis left here, it was learned vesterday that the Minnesota officer drove across to Omaha and from there due north (hrough Florence, to a small station on the Chicago, Minneapolis & St. Paul road, where ho took the train. From what Sherift Davis told the driver it is belleved that, fearing ho might be intercepted at Sloux City with a habeas corpus writ, he left the train at Covington, hired another rig and drove his prisoner around Sioux City to a small etation beyond, where he again boarded the train for the north, Onreaching Omaha Senter fnsisted he was desperately hungry and tried to induce Davis to stop for dinner.
