LINCOLN PEOPLE ENTER A PROTEST Itocolvor Hiiydrn HuccUcs IiiHtructlonB to Intervene nutl Prevent the Cunllrnintlon of thu Transaction Settlement f tlio Case 1'oHtpoiied. LINCOLN , March 10. ( Special to The Beo. ) Yonlter Bros , of DCS Molnes will not occupy the magnificent residence property lately belonging to R. C. Outcalt , cashier of the defunct Capital National bank , for some time yet. Ever since the firm bid In the property for something less than $10,000 last week there has been a lively suspicion that the real purchaser was ono J. D , Macfarland , ono of the endorsers on the notes ifold by tlio Dea Molnes firm. It Is generally believed that Macfarland had the property bid In for himself , and that ho has had some secret understanding with Mrs. Outcalt , In whose name the property stands on the records. Yesterday a number of protests were tele graphed to the comptroller of. the currency at Washington , representing that the alleged sale was a fraud upon the depositors , and that It had been attempted In order to pro tect the Interests of ox-Receiver Macfarland as endorser of Moslier. It was further repre sented to the comptroller that ono of the at torneys representing Receiver Hayden is the father-in-law ofMacfarluid , and for that rea son the receiver has taken no steps to pre vent the depositors from suffering through . the sale of the property to outsldo parties. T * " " As a result of all these representations the comptroller was requested to Instruct the ro- celvcr to lnivo the confirmation of the sale postponed until an Investigation could bo had by the Treasury department. This morning Receiver Hayden received In structions from tlio comptroller ot the cur- " r icy to Intervene and prevent the confirma tion of thu sale of the Outcalt property until the matter could bo Investigated , The or der ot the court was to the effect that the sale should bo presented for confirmation this forenoon at 10 o'clock. When that hour urrlvnd Attorneys Whcedon and Magoon were present for the protection of Outcalt's In terests , Attorney Hall appeared for the Ies Molnos brokers , whllo G , M. Lambortson and Judge Cobb appeared for the receiver. The latter asked for a postponement of the conflrmitlon and Judge Tlbbotts granted It In eplto of tha earnest protests of Attorney Hall , who Insisted that the sale had been perfectly legal as to form and that It could not bo sot aside , SOME METHOD IN HIS MADNESS. State Auditor Moore Is of the opinion that If A. G. Shears , the missing citizen of Chadron , Is suffering under temporary ab- - orratlon of mind , ho has considerable prac tical method In his madness. Saturday afternoon Shears\\ u an old acquaintance ot the auditor , called upon the latter ut the state house , and after conversing awhtlo asked the state olllclal to endorse a draft for him. He explained that he had been called to Lincoln on business matters , and had left hurriedly without bringing with him any funds. Since coming to Lluctln , ho saltl , ho found that he would have to go to Oklahoma on a business trip. Ho had money on deposit In the First National bank at Chadron. Would Mr. Moore endorse hU draft for $100T Mr. Moore would , but now he wishes ho wouldn't , for this forenoon ho received word from the cashier of the First National at Chadron , Informing him that Ulieara had no money on deposit there. The draft was cashed through the Merchants hank ot this city , and the latter has notified Mr , Moore of the fact that It has been pro tested , s The cashier of the Merchants bank stated r to The Bee this afternoon that Saturday of last week Shears came In and asked him If ha was familiar with the vlgnaturo of Auditor I Moore or Treasurer Hartley , Upon being M- sured of the fact Shears stated that he wished to draw upon his home bank for funds , but being a stranger In Lincoln he would Imvo to request the auditor or treas urer to endorse his draft. The feeling In Lincoln now Is that Shears has left the coun try and that he was not particular about guaranteeing his reputation before going. Neither the cashier of the bank nor Auditor Moore noticed anything about Shears' be havior that led them to suspect that ho was suffering from any mental disorder. Ho told the auditor that ho would go to Oklahoma Sunday and stop and visit some relatives In Kansas. Further , he stated that his wife knew nothing of his absence from home or why ho was going to Oklahoma , but that he Intended to write her boforp leaving Lincoln. GOSSIP AT THE STATE HOUSE. The manufacturing drug and chemical flrm of Kuhn & Co. of Omaha filed articles of Incorporation with the secretary of state today. The company has a capital of $100.- 000 and Is Incorporated by Norman , J. M. . C. R. and II. P. Kuhn. The case of Gustavo Cessman against I-rederlck Hyer reached the supreme court today from Douglas county. In the lower court Hyer sued Cessman for $5,000 damages for Injuries sustained In an assault. The Jury rendered a verdict for $2,500 against Cess man and the latter tells the supreme court that It Is excesstvo. The secretaries of the State Board of Transportation settled up two cases which have been pending for some time. E. A. Gerrard and other citizens of Monroe peti tioned the board for a station , and after some correspondence the Union Pacific agreed to establish a station at Monroe without the formality of a trial. At the town of Wlsuer the citizens wanted the Elk- Jtorn road to put In two street crossings over its tracks. The Elkhorn compromised the matter by putting In ono of the crossings and the citizens withdrew their complaint. Some time ago Mr , Johnson of Crete , who owns a coal mine near Clinton , Mo. , called upon the secretaries of the Board of Trans portation with an Informal complaint that he was being discriminated against by the I ) . & M. and Missouri Pacific In the matter of rates from his mine to Crete. The Missouri Pacific owns Its own mines near Clinton and hauls Us coal four miles farther and yet underbids Johnson to the extent of about 35 cents per ton. Ho was Informed that the board could not do anything for the reason that the rates were under the con trol of the Interstate Commerce commission. The secretaries ot the board opened a cor respondence with the railroad officials and threatened an appeal to the Interstate Com merce commission. Word was received this afternoon that the ruto would bo adjusted satisfactory to the Crete miner and that an appeal to the commission would not bo necessary. LINCOLN IN BRIEF. Mrs. Phelps Payne was today awarded $1,371 damages from the city by reason ot the change ) of grade In the street In front ot her residence property. The street referred to Is Seventeenth , which was paved two years ago. The city engineer changed the grades of both Seventeenth and J streets , making a cut In some places of over ton feet. It Is probable that the change will cost the city a great many thousand dollars In the way ot llanmcos. Mrs. Cora Ulack was this forenoon glvon a divorce from her husband on the grounds ot desertion. She was married to Black at Falls City In 1885 , but ho deserted her soon afterward. L. A. George , the man convicted of an as sault , upon tlio person of a half-witted girl , asks'for a now trial , Ho does not deny liU relations with the girl , but claims her con. sent as a defense. She la very weak men * tally and had no Idea of the moral phases of the affair. The Insurance companies have finally ad > justed the losses occasioned by the lire la the Funko opera house block several weeks ago. The owners ot the building got J1.8SJ3 , exclusive of the opera house fixtures ; lllock & Colin , $11,000 on stock and $147 on fix. tures ; M. Ackerman , $13,000 ; Mra , Van Duse. i$039 ; W. It. Dennis , $35 ; Patrick Kolly$35 , The loss to the curtains and scenery of the opera house has. not been adjusted , but It will be total. Arrangements are being made for un entire set of new scenery , and the auditorium will be remodeled on a mod ern basis. Tha case ot Mrs. Dlrney , who was arrested ami brought to thla city from St. Louis on the charge of perjury , was called In Judge Spencer' * court this afternoon , but on-re ; quest of the attorneys was continued until Monday. The case against J. F. Zedlker , the man accused of stealing the fixtures of a restau rant , was dismissed this afternoon. HEAVY VAIMIltE AT HASTIJsV.S. J. 1C. Morlii & Co. Closed on Attiichiucnts for SI5,000. HASTINGS , Neb. , March 10. ( Special Telegram to The Bee. ) J. R. Morln & Co. , wholesale dealers In eggs and butttr , was closed on an .attachment on notes aggregat ing $15,000. The failure of the house was a great sur prise , as It has a cash capital of $200,000 and has always enjoyed a high predlt. The Cedar Rapids house seemed to be in trouble and this attachment by the bank Is looked on as an effort to secure their claim In ad vance of other creditors. The company has branches at Holdrcge , Neb. , and half a dozen Iowa towns , with headquarters In Cedar Rapids and Hastings and operating in Bos ton. ton.Tho The failure of Morris & Smith of Boston , directors and backers of the J. R. Morln company , to pay sight drafts drawn on thorn by the Morln company and cashed by the Adams county bank , is responsible for the closing of the Hastings house , but all the other branches will bo affected. A sijdclen drop of several cents in eggs recently knocked the bottom out ot the market and thousands of dollars were lost In the flurry. Suit has been brought by the Creamery Package Manufacturing company for the re covery of $1,400 , and this , with the attach * ' ment , represents liabilities made known. The flrm has been In Hastings three years , has done a good business and made Itself very popular with Hastings people. The plant located hero Is regarded as , very complete and occupies quite a desirable location. This is the first embarrassment any Hastings flrm has felt during the entire financial crisis , and this is not attributable to local causes. CEDAR RAPIDS , la. . March 10. The J. R. Mortn company , with a capital stock of $90- 000 , extensive egg dealers nnd owners of six creameries near here , failed today. The total liabilities are $ U,000 and assets $05,000. The failure was due to the. Inability of the stockholders , who live In Boston , to furnish money. It Is reported that the liabilities will aggregate $200,000 , Involving Morris , Smith & Co. of Boston , who own the entire stock of the Morln company. Mlt. VAN HOsKIKK'.S DENIAL.
