INSURANCE COMPANIES' SUEJ )
Buokstaff Brothers Manufacturing Company
of Lincoln Creates a Sensation ,
WANT PAY FOR THEIR BRICK WORKS
rollcl Not HonorodfOn the Plea that the
Valuation of the Plant Was
1'lnood Too High by tu
Owners.
LINCOLN , July 15 , [ Special to THE Bnn.J
A series of suits was Hied in the district
court of this county this afternoon which
will create something f a sensation m in- ,
aurance circles all over the country. The
suits were filed by the Buckstaff Bros. ' Man
ufacturing company of Lincoln against thirty-
four prominent insurance companies , the
amount sued for ranging from $1,000 to 0,000
in each caso. The cases grow out of the de
struction by flro of the brick works owned
and operated by the Buckstaff company In
this city , last February , The works'were
the largest in the stuto and did n largo busi
ness in thn manufacture and sale of vitrllled
paving brick , shipping the product to Omaha
t and ull prominent oltlos in the west. On
f
February 10 of the present year the works
burned , resulting in a complete loss to the
company.
It was bollovod at the time that the com
pany would resume business as soon as the
Insurance could bo adjusted and the money
received from the company ; but for some
reason not yet clearly understood In this city
the insurance companies refused to honor
their policies and all attempts to reach a
settlement have failed. The companies
claim , among otlior things , that the valua
tion of the works had boon placed at too
high a figure nnd that the loss was not
Dearly as great as represented by the com
pany. An attempt was made at ono time to
ecttlo the matter by arbitration , but nothing
came of it , aud so the matter has found its
way into the courts.

company was the owner of the brick works
described In-'tho policies , that at the time
the policy was issued the property described
thorciu was real property , and at the date
at the policy und from that time until aud
Including the day of the lira all of the
property was used in the process and in the
business of manufacturing brick : . On Feb
ruary 10 the property covered by the policy
was burned nnd wholly destroyed by flro
without criminal fault on the part of the
plaintiff , and said flro did not originate by
any act , procurement or desien of the plain
tiff. At ttio time of the lire and within
thirty days thereafter the plaintiff gave duo
notice aud proof of loss. Judgment is aslcod
for the amount of the policy , costs and $350
'attorney's fees in each case.
It is also stated that suits for damages
will bo commenced against each of the In
surance companies and that following an nt-
tempt will bo made to prevent the companies
interested in the matter from doing business
in the state of Nebraska. The friends of
the plaintiff company bolloro that the com
panies can bo prosecuted under-the anti
trust law now upon the statute books , for
the reason that all of thn companies are
practically controlled by an organization
formed for the purpose of maintaining rates.
ITHed Soiimuloiinl Chnrgeg.
Dr. S. D. Morccr came into the Lancaster
county district court today with some velum
inous documentary allegations in which ho
charges a number of the estimable citizens
of Plnttsmouthwith conspiracy. The his
tory of the case as set forth in the papers
filed with the clerk of the district court is
briofjy as follows : Some time since the
Sprague Electric Motor company commenced
a suit in the district court against Dr. Mer
cer to recover n balance of $8.000 alleged to
bo duo the company * for the equipment of
the Plattsmouth street railway , of which lie
was ono of the stockholders. The Sprague
people obtained a judgment for the amount ,
but afterwards the court sot the verdict
aside.
In the papers filed in this city today Dr.
Mercer alleges that in 183 ! ) the Sprague
Motor company , O. H. Btillou , the Westora
Engineering company aud several individuals
claiming to bo ofllcors in the Plattsmouth
Street Hallway company , entered into a con
spiracy to defraud him and several other
heavy stocuholdors. In uursuance of the
conspiracy Hullou aud others pretended to
huvo entered into a contract with the
Sprague Motor company aud the Western
Engineering * company for the necessary
equipment to transform the Plattsmouui
horse car system int # an electric system. Dr.
Mercer , as ono of the stockholders , refused
to consent to the improvement in the sys
tem , aud so notified the parties who hald the
contract from the pretended ofllcors. In
splto of his notice , however , they wont
ahead and equipped the line with electric
kpowcr. When the work was completed the
property failed to pay running expenses , and
it was finally sold under n foreclosure of a
mortgage , the Sprague company being the
purchaser. The road is now operated by
that company. Dr. Mercer allegns that the
whole sclamno was concocted to defraud him
and other stockholders of their interest in
the Flattamouth company.
Another BUo to the Story ,
The Lansing-Oliver imbroglio baa occupied
the boards in Lincoln , in the absence of any
other histrionic attractions , for some time ,
but the probability is that the curtain will
fall for the lust time with tbo following
epilogue given to the local representatives
of the state press by Mr , Oliver this after-
uoon :
Mr. L. C. Burr , as attorney for Church
aud Oliver , had recently in ado u collection of
$500. The money really belonged to Lansing
& Oliver , being part of the subscription fund
to the theater building , aud wus by Mr ,
Burr , without Oliver's concurrence , paid to
Lansing. Of course it was Lansing's duty ,
on receiving the Joint money , to pay Oliver
his part. On the morning on this alterca
tion Oliver had gone out with a real
card , tut us and hatchet , aud hud tacked
the card en his vacant house on P
street , o.ist of the theater , In returning
ho had to pass Lansing's ' oftlce aud
went in to ask Lansing for his part of
the $30LJ. as ho had been directed by Mr.
Burr to do. Dut it seems" Mr , liurr hud also
instructed Lansing to bo ready for Oliver tu
case the latter came to hi * office ; so Lansing
was anuod with n loaded cuno with which
bo threateningly assaulted Oliver. It was a
Uiero accident of course that Oliver bad a
hatchet lu his hnud , but a most fortunate
out ) for Oliver. When Laiuiug saw the
latchet ho took refuge with his loaded cano
and gun behind the door. Oliver thinks
t was the hatchet that saved his life. The
irrost that followed was purely malicious ,
; ho first intention of Lansing being only to
swear out a peace warrant and the charge
} f felony being made only after learning
that $1,000 was the limit of the bond under a
peace warrant. Oliver promises that bis
running at largo will not endanger the public
pouco.
ABklng Executive Ulcmcucy.
Pat O. Hawcs of Omaha came to Lincoln
this afternoon for the purnoso of laying a
tearful appeal before the governor for the
pardon of George Hcod , an Omaha man sent
to the penitentiary two years ago for grand
larceny , . Rood received a four-years' son-
tcnco for stealing a Jug of whisky and sev
eral dollars In cash from a saloon at the
corner of Sixteenth and Nicholas streets and
was convicted upon the testimony of a
woman with whom ho boarded. The woman
afterward said that if she had known that
the penalty was Imprisonment in tbo peni
tentiary she would not have testified against
him , The Judge , prosecuting attorney and a
number of Jurors have signed a petition for
bis pardon.
Another case now under consideration by
tbo governor.is that of David Tobln , con
victed of grand larceny at the last term of
court in Douglas county. The Jurors who
convicted Tobln have signed the usual peti
tion for pardon and recommend the oxorclso
of executive clemency on the grounds that it
was Tobin's first offense , that ho was in bad
company and his only share in the guilt was
in receiving the proceeds of the robbery.
The governor hat the papers under advise
ment.
