THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WEDNESDAY, TRUSTEE WANTS BUILDINGS [Potitions Oourt to Give Him Title to| Bennett Real Estate. GIVES HISTORY OF BUILDING COMPANY o Fave Transfer of Stock Set Anlde and Contract with J, B, Baum Declared Naull and Void. Ak Yesterday In the United Btates dis- trict court B. E. Hastings, trustee in bank- ruptey of the estate of the W. R. Bennett | company, instituted proceedings to secure the title to the Bennett bullding and stable and the land upon which each structure stande. The petition sets up the fact of hie ap- pointment as trustee of the bankrupt mer- cantile company and then alleges that at the time the W. R, Bennett dompany de- clded to change its place of business from Capitol avenue the officers of the company doubted the power of the meroantile com- | pany, under {ts charter, to own and manage real estate and therefore decided to organ- 4ze the W. R. Bennett Bullding company, | which was composed principally of officers and stockholders of the mercantile com- | pany; that the mercantile company ad- | vanced money to the bullding company to an amount approximating $187,600 and this money, with the $182,500 borrowed from other sources, was expended upon the pur- | chase of sites and the construction of the bulldings; that at the time of the bank- | ruptey proceedings ho was placed in charge | of the mercantile company's property, which invoiced about $110,000 in stock and $89,000 in fixtures. | in Eserow. | Says Stock About that time, mccording to the peti- tion, W. R. Bennett, the president of both the mercantile and building companies, | sald that the equity of the company in the building would be devoted to paying the debts of the mercantile company, but later he caused to be taken from the stock book of the buflding company all of ths stock certificates, which were then placed in the hands of C. W. Rainey to e delivered to J. E. Baum after Mr. Baum had performed certain work; that the transfer of shares was without consideration and therefore vold. The petitioner says that he has been | unable to discover any lease from the | bullding company to the mercantile com- | pany and that W. R. Bennett has ln{urml‘fl‘ him that no such lease exists. The peti- tioner states that the W. R. Bennett Bulld- ing company, which has received no pay- | ments from the stockholders on account of stock, was but a convenience for the W. R. Bennett company and that its property is really the property of the mercantile com- pany, for which reason he prays that the W. R. Bennett conipany, J. E. Baum and | C.'W. Rainey be cited to show cause why the transfer of stock and the contract with Baum ghall not be set aside and the title of tho property of the bullding company be declared In the trustee for the benefit of tho creditors. Judge Munger has set the application for hearing next Friday. HUSBAND INCLINED TO STOP, After Having Wife Arrested He is Likely to Drop the Prosecu- tion, The hearing of Henry Sackett and Mrs. M. V. Pugsley, who were arrested by Ser- | geant Hudson upon complaint of the | woman's husband, was again postponed In | police court yesterday morning. !r'u;-h-y‘l shows signs of relenting in his charges | inst the defendants and the case prob- | ably will be dropped, as Mrs. Pugsley de- sires the forgiveness of her husband, it is sald, to whom she has returned, having been released from the city Jall on a bend | furnished by a friend. Inasmuch as Pugs- ley does mot like the notoriety resulting | from a trial, though he wishes to have | Backett punished, it is expected that he will drop the prosecution.

ELKHORN MEN ARE GUESSING Question Comecerms Dispost ot Omaha Genmeral Offces by Northwesters, Intense Interest, coupled with some anxiety, Is felt by officlals at Fremont, Elk- horn & Missouri Valley raflroad headquar- ters regarding the coming purchase of that line by the Chicago & Northwestern rafl- way. A meeting of the board of directors of the latter system has been called for February 10 to complete this deal. What will then happen to the Elkhorn headquar- ters here and its occupants is the burning question. As one of these put it “] don’t think there is any question that the name Fremont, Elkhorn & Missourl Valley will become a thing of the past. Undoubtedly the whole thing will become the Northwestern system. And when they do away with that name what will they do with ts? Will we be consolidated and drawn into Chicago, will we be left here, or will we be left out? “No inkling has come to us of what our fate will be. It is unreasonable to suppose that the Northwestern will maintain head- quarters here for very long. Concentra- tion 1s the whole story with the rallroads now, anyhow. See how quickly the Sfoux City & Pacific dropped out of existence after its purchase. It was left no general offices nor any other offices. It simply be- came a part of the Chicago & Northwestern system. But of course that is a much smaller matter than the Elkhorn. Yet I think they will do away with every trace of the old Elkhorn general office Croup. The peculiar cough which indicates croup is usually well known to the mothers of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment of it, and for this purpose no medicine has | received more universal ap- | proval than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable time in experiment- ing with untried remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended, but glve this medicine as directed and all symptoms ot croup will quickly disappear. Announcement of the Theaters. The favorable impression of the initial | pertormances of this week's bill at the Or- | pheum 1s manifest in the large attendance, as is aleo the character of the vaudeville | entertainment in the personnel of the audi- ence which is distinguished by the elite. | Cole and Johnson, the celored entertainers, are scoring heavily at each performnace. Their encores are so numerous that one would believe they could satisfactorily fill the time ordinarily allotted to several acts. Their vocal and plano work catches the tancy. Among their songs are ‘“The Maiden With the Dreamy Eyes,” sang b; Miss Anna Held in the “Little Duches: and *“Under the Bamboo Tree,” a catchy little coon melody. In pleasing qualities the remainder of the program is pretty uniforms. The regular midweek matinee will be given tomorrow. Those who care for the sort of fun de- rived from the comedy Irishman, and he is about the wittiest being on earth when he | wants to be, will have an opportunity this afternoon and tonight at Boyd's theater when “The Irish Pawnbrokers” will take possession of the theater. Sullivan and | Mack, the well-known Irish comedians, will be seen in the title roles. Mazin Trum- bull, the clever little soubrette, will assist very materially in the entertainment. The confedy is sald to contaln little or no plot, but to be a series of comedy hap- penings which dovetall very nicely. A sing- ing and dancing chorus, a distinct novelty in this form of offering of pretty and viv cious young women will bo seen. Among the prominent members of the cast are: Delmore and Wilson, John Wood, Bobby Bryant, Joe J. Conlan, W. H, Spencer, Ed- die Brown, Maymle Taylor, Warren sisters and the Bromley sisters and fifteen others. There will be a meeting of the Fifth ‘Ward Republican olub at Young's hall, Sixteenth and Corby streets, Wednesday evening, January 28, at 8 o'clock sharp. W. B. CHRISTIE, President.

Doubert ac- cused Edith Bartlett of having taken his cash and she was arrested. Doubert did not like the idea of being locked up at police headquarters and detained as a complaining witness and permission was granted him to remain at the City hotel. The officers grew suspiclous lest triends of the Bartlett woman should intercede in ber behalt by effecting a settlement and urging Doubert to leave the city. Cap- taln Haze is of the opinion that Doubert was pald in full or at least in part by friends of the prisoner and then hustled out of Omaha, that no complaining wit- ness might appear against the Bartlett woman. The theory that Doubert was foully dealt with is scouted by the police. THROUGH MAGICAL SCENES, A Seventeen-Mile Drive Over the Most Remarkable Highway in the World. One of the chief attractions of the Hotel Del Monte is the Seventeen-mile Drive, un- questionably the most remarkable high- way in the world. It was constructed by the Pacific Improvement company for the pleasure of the hotel guests, and is macad- amized throughout with the disintegrated granite which underlies the peninsula and of which the perfect walks and drives in the grounds of the hotel are constructed. Nelther dust nor mud is ever possible on this famous drive. In its course it passes through Monterey and Pacific Grove on the bay shore, cuts through the forest to the north end of the peninsula, swings west- wardly to the Pacific ocean, then south- eastwardly to Carmel bay, and thence over the ridge back to Monterey and the Hotel Del Monte. Every one of its seventeen miles brings something new, strange and wonderful into view—natural beauties and marvels wholly distinct and singularly fas- cinating. The Hotel Del Monte is provid- ed with stables completely equipped with the best In the way of horses, vehicles, drivers and guldes and the charges are modest. Beginning at the hotel, the drive passes the bathing pavilion, traverses the streets of Monterey, comes within sight of the monument erected July 7, 1896, by Mrs. Jane Stanford, in honor of Junipero Serra, runs through Pacific Grove, and then swings sharply to the west and bores its winding way through the forest. Before this s done, however, we may drive straight on through Monterey to the old lighthouse on Point Pinos, and note where the bicycle road turns out to the left and runs down to beautiful Lake Majella, near which are dazzling white eandhills, from which glass is made. The direct and most comfortable route to these magical scenes is over the Union Pacific. Literature giving full information can be obtained at the oity ticket office, 1324 Farnam street.

MAY BRING ON BIC STRIKE Rumor Says Gould Lines Have Refused Demands of Conduotors and Trainmen. FIFTY-TWO RAILROADS ARE CONCERNED Chatrman Ward of the Employes’ General Committee of the Elk- horn Road Denfes that Strike 1s Probable, It was sald in rallroad circles yesterday morning that private advices had come from St. Lous to the effect that the gen- eral managers of the four Gould lines in conference there with general committees representing the conductors and trainmen had refused the demands of the latter for a raise of wages and other concessions. It was further stated that an assembling of the executive committee had immediately been called by the conductors and train- men for Wednesday, Jjanuary 28, and that it was expected a general strike over the entire western division of the Order of Rallway Conductors and the Brotherhood of Rallway Trainmen would be ordered at that time, This would Involve fifty-two rail- roads in the west and middle west and 160, 000 men of the twvo orders. A. F. Ward, chairman of the general com- mittee, of the conductors and trainmen of the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley rallroad, which has negotiations under way with General Manager Bidwell on this same matter, was questioned regarding the in- formation. Ho refused to divulge anything whatever about it, but would only deny the statement that there would be a strike. Ward Says No Strike. Mr. Ward refused to say that the Gould had refused all the concessions and he refused to say they had not done so. He would not say whether any meeting bad been called. But he did eay that if any such result of the conferences had occurred it would be settled by a different method than a strike. He admitted that the re- sult of the Gould line conferences would be an for lements with all the othar lines involved “But while I ar Chairman Ward sta nt index on this tople,” said do wish to say this. that General Managoer Bid- ittee hers Any well refused to grant our com is false and r of this committee. us to say t injustice to Mr. ted us co confer w It is an we sald Bidwell teously no men to an bas always trea Mortality Statistics, births deaths were Board of twenty-four Bancroft >opplet boy FiGPRUNE CEREAL Tastes like Coffee—Better authorized | that | who | Kuhn's GIyEerole of Roses For Sale at Kuhn's Drug Store, 15th and Douglas St. 25c per Bottle.
