PLANT AND MATETIAL ALSO SECURED Crouton the Kccno of the Affnlr Cntrli ur tlin Authorities Itoffnrilctl n or Milcli Iiiiporliinc.0 to Xuuritftku and Iowa. Deputy United States Marshal Ulcliartls Is congratulating himself on having broken up a gang of dangerous counterfeiters , after about two months hard work. Two of the gang arc ndw In Jail , and the prospects are tlia-l the next few days will see two or three more of them In the same unfortunate ) pre dicament , For months past Iowa , Nebraska , and particularly Missouri , have been flooded with bogus dollars , halves , and gold $5 $ pieces. The product of the Independent mint was very good , and many people were taken In without knowing It until It was too late , niclmrds was given a tip , and on that tip he has been Indus'rlously working. Creston has been the headquarters of the gang , and the plant was located In a house occupied by Krank Deard. At 1 o'clock yesterday morning Illchards , accompanied by Boveral other olllcers from Creston , went to Ueard's house and routed him out of bed. It was claimed that Heard had promised to blow the daylights out of any officer that tried to arrest him , and the officers went prepared to shed gore , but It was not necessary. They took along with them a search warrant , for le.ird'n ) cellar , where It was supposed the plant was located. A com plete set of counterfeiting tools was found there , consisting of plaster of parls casts , gold and silver wash , chisels , polishing brushes , emery powder , and coins In all stages of manufacture. The plant was taken possession of by the officers. Heard claims ho merely rented the cellar to some other men , and that he had no part In tbe crime himself , but the officers claim to have secured evidence which will show that ho not only helped make the bgus stuff , but that he also put It In circulation. In the house were found tlirea enormous re volvers , loaded and ready for business. These are also In the hands of the authori ties. Beard was taken b5fore Commissioner Steadman yesterday and bound over to the grand Jury , his bond being fixed at $2,500. Jim Sehou was arrested during the day and will be brought to this city today. The officers are on the. trail of three more , with fair prospects of getting them shortly. The gang Is considered a desperate one , and although suspicion has for some time pointed In their direction , thsysucceeded In covering up their tracks so well that It seemed for a time as though they would evade justice. A young man namd Ed Illalr , a .Irugglst from Creston , Is also under arrest , but the authorities have convinced themselves that die was used merely as a tool , and as he told the truth about his con nection with the deal , his bond was fixed at a nominal sum and ho was released.

Judge Deemer occupied most of yesterday morning's session of the district court In rendering decisions In cases which he had had under advisement for some little time. In the case of Mrs. Jennlo Smith against the Citizens State bank , Involving a cer tificate of deposit for $1,800 , which had been turned over as part payment for a piece of property In Longmont , Colo. , the decision was in favor of the bank. Mrs. Smith claimed that she had been drugged Into In sensibility and Induced to sign over the cer tificate while In that condition , by a man named Proctor , with whom she had been training considerably. The court said he wished ho could believe the lady's story , but there were so many Improbabilities he could not. No decision was rendered In regard to the petition for severance of certain property from the town of Manawa , from the fact that an amended petition will have to be filed , changing the boundaries of the land to be thus separated , and this cannot be done until next term , the town having ob jected. In the case of Blackman against Wright for the cancellation of a deed executed by Blackman In Wright's favor , Daniel Dull , one of the defendants , was declared estopped from pleading fraud by the fact that ho had waited too long before doing so. The con veyance to Wright was cancelled , and the tltlo to the property was given to one Phelan of Omaha , although the Judge made some very uncomplimentary remarks us to Blackman's and _ Haldane's part In the trans actions. The Council Bluffs Savings bank was given a Judgment for $2,459.84 In the suit In which Dan Carrlgg was defendant , on a mechanic's lien on a warehouse building. The bank claimed $2,800. Larsen & Jensen , an Intervening firm , were given a Judgmdnt for $135. In the suit of E. A. Wlckham against Price & Hester , the motion of a number of laborers employed at the Pacific house under the management of the defendants , that the cost of the labor be paid out of the proceeds of the sale of furniture , was sustained. In the case of Garner against Dillon , for the partition of an estate , the defendant's demurrer was overruled. W. W. Ordway's claim against the Holman estate was allowed. Thin IB the Heiison Why.

I'untliif ; for Liberty. For several days past ten men have been occupying the upper part of the city Jail as the result of their refusal to work. Slices of bread so thin that a newspaper can bo road through them without any dltflculty and tin cups of Missouri river water have been all that stood In the way of starvation. Friday night thoj decided to leave without notice- , and they almost succeeded In putting their plan Into execution. About midnight a nolso was heard from the upper part of the building , and Officer Weir proceeded to Investigate. On going out Into the Jail yard ho saw a largo hole In the brick wall about half way up the south side of the building. lie ran up stairs and found that nine of the ten were In the middle cell , while only six had been put there early In the evening. The other three had clambered from the front cell through a hole In the celling. A stout brlckmason lay upon the floor near the hole , but as Weir looked at him ho opened the west half of his east eyp In an Inquiring fashion. Ho had torn away the brick for the distance of about fourteen Inches square and In a few minutes more the wholeilno ) would liavo been enjoying the sweets of liberty once more. The bilck mason will probably bo sent up for another thirty days as the result of his anxiety to cheat the law of Its victims. The whole outfit , after a night In the steel cell , met with a chance of heart yesterday noon , deciding that working on a full meal was preferable to loafing on a btarvatlon diet , nnd went to work on the streets In the afternoon. o Muni Stop In lena In a short time , as Iowa has passed a law against them.

The defunct Council Bluffs 'Theater com pany turned up In the superior court yes terday as defendants In a suit brought by John Dolmny to recover $600 claimed to be due for rent for the opera house during the year 1891. It will bo remembered , par ticularly by the business men who dropped several $10 bills on the altar of their coun try , that this theater association was or ganized In that year for the purpose of running the house on a strictly first class plan , with a clean building , capable orchestra and good shows. Thp plan worked to per fection , except In 6rib direction. It did not pay. As a conseq'uence the members of the company found themselves In the same sit uation as the man who picked up the hot poker nnd they dropped It. The rental of the house for the fciar was to be $3,500 , and of that sum all buf $ SOO was paid. For this Dohany now sues , , In his petition he al leges that the corporation was never legally Incorporated , for < the articles were never published as required by law , and so he claims the individual members of the con cern are responsible for the corporation debts. He accordingly makes J. M. Lane , E. E. Hart , W. J.Jamlson ( , A. -Hanchett F. H. Evans and 11. A.

CHICAGO , May 5.In the Interest of the labor organizations of Chicago , a committee has gone to California to examine 70,000 acres of land , which have been offered to the organizations for colonization. These lands are owned by the Land and Sunshine company. This company purchased the Ir rigating system of the Croker & Hoffman Land and Water company , and the lands of the Pacific Improvement company. The first named comprises the water rights of the Merced river , In developing which the original owners had to build a canal twenty- seven miles long. Branch canals amounting to seventy-five miles and watering 40,000 acres of land , the water works supplying the town of Merced and the dwelling erected by C. H. Hoffman at a cost of $100,000 were part of the sellers' plant , and were Included In the purchase. Of the lands , 16,000 acres are In wheat , several thousand In barley , and other parts are set In fruits. The com pany also bought all the town lots of Merced. Azel F , Hatch , ono of the stockholders of the Land of Sunshine company , says : "We have made the first payments nnd have seven years In which to pay the balance. Wo have taken an option on 30,000 acres of laild In addition to this purchase. Through out the transaction wo have been In close touch with the laboring unions. I am as sured on the best authority that they have raised $100,000 to assist colonization and that the money Is placed In the hands of the olll cers. The plan the unions have considered Is the purchase of tracts through a trustee and paying for them In Installments , the Improvements to b paid for In the same way. way."When the property Is paid for It Is to bo sold. The shareholders are to havsi the first choice to buy the proparty , and the money they have paid In Is to be credited on the purchase. Thcrci may , of course , bo choice pieces In the tract , and the rights to select those will command a premium. The land Is crossed by the Southern Pacific rail road , and all parts of It carry psrpctual water rights. Just 'how many laboring people - plo will enter a colonization movement In California CT elSoiiyicro I cannot say , but I am Informed the , ( ( Lea of colonization has taken deep root.

EX-PRIESTS GIVEN A SET BACK Olllcom Klrrtiul for tlio Kimilng Yiar- MIIUHiilu-o tlin Next 1'laro of Moot ing Mcetlnga Will Hence forth llo Upon. DES MOINES , May G. The supreme coun cil of the A. P , A. completed Its labors here tonight after a four days' session. The most Important work Was the preparation of the declaration of principles of the order , which was drawn up during the two days' conferences , and Is nn Important document In every way. The statement that Supreme President Trnynor had recommended twenty- one years' residence for naturalization was an error. His recommendation was ten year * , nnd the supreme council finally de cided that seven years should elapse be tween nn nllao's ilcclar.1t.on of intention and bis naturalization. The council passed a resolution asking that this correction be made by the press. The declaration of prin ciples Is as follow * : First Loyalty to true Americanism , which knows neither b rthplnce , race , creed or party , Is the first requisite for membership In the American Protective association. Second The American Protective associa tion Is not a political party and docs not con trol the political affiliations of Its members , but It teaches them to be Intensely actlvo In the discharge of their political duties In or out of party lines , because It believes that all problems confronting our people will be best soh'e.t by a conscientious discharge of the duties of citizenship by every Individual. Third While tolerant of nil creeds , It holds that subjection to and support of any ecclesiastical power , not created and con trolled by American citizens , and which claims equal , If not greater , sovereignty than the government of the United States of America , Is Irreconcilable with citizenship. It Is , therefore , opposed to the holding of offices In national , state or municipal govern ment by any subject or supporter of such ecclesiastical power. Fourth Wo uphold the constitution of the United States of America , and no portion of It more than Its guaranty of religious liberty , to bo guaranteed to the Individual , and not to mean that under its protection any un- amerlcan ecclesiastical power can claim ab solute control over the education of children growing up under the stars and stripes. Fifth We consider the nonsectorlan free public school the bulwark of American In stitutions , the best place for .the education of American children. To keep them such , we protest against the employment of sub jects of any unamerlcan ecclesiastical power , as officers or teachers of the public schools. Sixth Wo condemn the support , out of the public treasury , by direct appropriation or by contract , of any sectarian school , reformatory or other Institution not owned and controlled by public authority. Seventh Believing that exemption from taxation Is equal to a grant of public funds , wo demand that no real or personal property be exempt from taxation , the tltlo to which Is not vested In the national or state govern ments or in any of their subdivision * . Eighth Wo protest against the enlistment In the United States army , navy or militia of any state of any person not an actual citi zen of the United States. Ninth We demand for the protection of our citizen laborers the prohibition of the importation ot pauper labor and the restric tion of all Immigration to persons who can show their ability and honest Intention to become self-supporting American citizens. Tenth We demand the change of the naturalization laws by a repeal of the act authorizing the naturalization of miners without a previous declaration of Intention and by providing that no alien shall be naturalized or permitted to vote In any state in the union who cannot speak the language of the land , and who cannot prove seven years continuous residence In this country from the date of his declaration of Intention. Eleventh We protest against the gross negligence and laxity with which the Judiciary of our land administer the present naturalization laws and against the practice of naturalizing aliens at the expense of committees or candidates as the most prolific source of the present prostitution of Amer ican citizenship to the basest uses. Twelfth Wo demand that all hospitals , asylums , reformatories or other Institutions In which people are under restraint be at all times subject to public Inspection , whether they are maintained by the public or by private corporations or individuals. Thirteenth We demand that all national or state legislation affecting financial , com mercial or Industrial Interests be general In character and in no Instance In favor of anyone ono section of the country or of any class of people. The council tabled every motion attempting to commit the order to any distinct line of policy on the money , labor , suffrage , temper ance or other party questions , anil also adopted a resolution declaring that no com mittee or other authority In the order could bind the members to any political organiza tion beyond their negative obligation. The council approved of the draft of a bill for the suppression of Immigration , which will be sent to congress , and also adopted resolutions for legislation subjecting con vents and similar Institutions to public In spection. U was resolved that Washington , D. C. . bo the permanent meeting place after 1896 and that all meetings be held with open doors , the public to ba Invited to witness and listen to all resolutions. Another question that has been agitating the council Is the attitude toward ex-priests who are lecturing In various parts of the country , presumably in the Interest of the American Protective association , butr cally attacking the Catholic church. State Secre tary Jackman secured the passage of a reso lution by the state cutting the order loose from the priests. Ex-Priest McNamara vig orously opposed this In the national council , but the latter body sustained the state com mittee. The press committee announced " that It was Impossible" glvo out cither the address of the president or the declaration of principles. The association elected officers as follows : Supreme president , W. J. Traynor ot Detroit ; vice president , Rev. Adam Faucett of Colum bus , 0. ; secretary ot state , 0. C. Jackson of Boone la. ; chaplain , J. J. Gosper of Los Angeles ; secretary , C. T. Beatty of Sagiimw , Mich. ' treasurer , II. SI. Stark of Milwaukee ; F. Bowers of past supreme president , H.

( Special Telegram to The Bee. ) About eight weeks ago great excitement was occasioned by the disappear ance from the town of Exlra of George OvcrholUer son of J. A. Overholtzer of Audubon. The young man had been manag ing a lumber yard for his father , and left for Davenport on business. He came to Des Moines , and that was the last heard of him. His father had detectives at work In this city , and at once thought ho had found evidence that George had been drugged and robbed. Later , when a man was killed by cars near Muscatlne , It was thought It was young Overholtzer. But Des Moines offlcerH have received word that the father has heard from-him by letted from Buenos Ay res , South Amer ica , that ho Is coming home. The Impres sion prevailed that the young man was out of liTs head when he ran away , but a letter written by a friend of his In Extra Intimates that there was n girl In the case , and that matters had been fixed up.
