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

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 >

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.
