ed with the church on profession of

operation and faith in God.

SAYS RECEIVERSHIP FAKED
Omaha. Fred J. Reuth, Omaha,
for many years president of the Om
aha Ice & Cold Storage company, has
filed suit in district court for $100,-
000 damages from a group of Chi
cago and Newcastle, Del., persons
He charges fraudulent manipulations
in bringing about a receivership for
the company. The petition charges
that Samuel R. Morgan, Chicago at
torney, first brought about the re
ceivership of the Inland States Serv
ice company, a Delaware firm, which
at the time held the common stock
of the Omaha company.
The receivers for the Inland firm
then asked for a receiver for the
Omaha company, the petition states,
Reuth charges that Luther M. Lewis,
Walter R. Titzel, Arthur Logan and
Norma Stroud, all of Chicago, filed
an agreement to the receivership.
"fraudulently" representing that
they were members of the board of
directors of the Omaha firm and that
they held a meeting of the board at
which the receviership was agreed to.
Reuth alleges he has suffered per
sonal damages as a result of the ac
tion, besides losing a five year con
tract for management of the firm.
FARM PICKETERS ENCAMPED
Lemars, la. The Ed Durband
farm near here took on the appear
ance of a picnic grounds, but to the
crowd of Plymouth county farmers,
it was something more serious re
sistance against attempts to evict the
Durbands. Tuesday was the second
day of the ersistance against efforts
of Sheriff Rippey to carry out the
eviction order. The farmers gathered
at the Durband place Monday and
threatened to "shoot jit out" if Rip
pey attempted to move the family.
No arms have been displayed, how
ever, and the farmers have maintain
ed a joking mood, altho they remain
ed firm when Rippey asked them to
permit him to carry out the eviction
order. About twenty-five wives of
farmers were in tho crowd. They
brought lunches for their husbands
and friend3. The time was whiled
away with card games and horseshoe
pitching contests. The picketing duty
is carried on by shifts of various
sizes, ranging from a few farmers to
as many as 300.

Thirsty Nebraskans Cross
Line for Beer.
Council Bluffs. Beer has resulted
in $50,000 being spent in Council

More than ?21,000 of this was for
beer alone, it is estimated. The con
uunntion so far. based on Council

' ties per person. This, however, does
not take into account the hundreds
oL Omahans who have gone over to
help.
')out $11,000 has been spent for
licenses and at least $5,000 has been
spent on remodeling work.
About $2,000 has been ppent so far
in rent on twenty-five buildings
leased directly as a result of beer.
These were formerly vacant. This
is the estimate of William Knox, sec
retary of the real estate board.
About $3,500 has been spent on beer
bonds.
About 150 skilled workmen are
being employed, at an average of $4
a day in the remodeling work. Mayor

000 for fixtures.
