Still another of the Horatio Fowkes deals fcns gone Into the district court In the shape of a foreclosure suit. This time Mrs. Mary F. Durko Is the plaintiff and the basis of her action Is n mortgage given to John A. Horbach In December , 1S92 , on about eight acres north of block 309 , n strip of land ex tending northward about 1,325 feet In what has been known ns lot 7 of the Horbach lots. This mortgage was given by Fowkes for ? 73,404 to secure four notes of $18,351 each on a purchase made by Fowkes as the Drexel representative In the Interest of the Omaha llrldgc and Terminal company. The notes nro not duo until 1903 nnd were not to bear interest until January 1 , 1S98 , when they were to begin to draw C per cent. Mrs. Hurko alleges that Fowkes has defaulted In the first year's Interest , She came by the mortgage nnd the notes In a deal with Mr. Horbach , ho transferring them to her In September , 1S94. A consid erable piece of property east of the old wire works wnn bought by Mrs. llurko of Mr. Horbnch nnd last summer she sold some of It to Edward T. Stotcsbury , who wns making purchases In the Interest of the Terminal company -with n view to a right of way along North Fourteenth street. This sale by Mrs. llurko Is the defense of the Terminal com pany against the John A. Scott Injunction , suit Involving a forty-foot strip used ns a driveway between the wlro works property and thnt sold by Mrs. Burke. In her action she makes Stotesbury , the Terminal company , Special Administrator Charles A. GOBS of the Drexcl cstato and the Provident Llfo nnd Trust company of Phila delphia , all co-defendants because of certain adverse claims. A similar suitwas recently brought ngalnst Fowkes by Sylvester Cunningham over the sale of Cunningham's addition. As Cunningham made the Reed Interests codefendant - defendant , ns well as the Drexel Interests , nnswcrs nnd cross-petitions were Hied by Abraham L. Reed , the Rochester Loan nnd Banking company and Mrs. Mnrln Reed John- BOH , setting up the judgments obtained by them In the county court during September last ngalnst the Drexel heirs for over $2SO- 000 , altogether. Mr. Reed , Mrs. Johnson and the bank ask thnt their Judcments shall operate as liens on the property In dispute , ns being against the Drexels , nnd that It be sold under foreclosure. A legal tangle of many conflicting Interests is threatened nnd the litigation grows more complicated at every step. The Reed Judgments ngalnst the Drcxcls are pending the determination of an appeal taken to thu district court from Judge Baxter's decision. SUIT TAKES ANOTHER TURN Outcome of Action AKi'i' ' " * Terminal Cnnijiiiiiy Jlny llliiRc Upon Iliinll- llcntliiii of tin The Byron Heed company's Injunction suit against the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company promises to turn largely upon the pivot of the status of W. Beech Taylor , one of the board of appraisers in the condemna tion proceedings of the Terminal company to take property In blocks 27 , 3S , Cl nnd 62 , between Cass , Davenport. Tenth nnd Twelfth streets , for n depot Bite and grounds. It Is the position of the Byron Heed company that the board should bo constituted of six freeholders and that Mr. Taylor Is not n freeholder according to law. Mr. Taylor was appointed by County Judge Baxter to suc ceed S. A. Orchard. To cover this point , affidavits have been filed by the nttorneys for the Terminal com pany , alleging that Mr. Taylor Is the owner of an undivided half Interest In lot 13 , block 1 , Popplcton park. A counter affidavit has liecn filed by the other side , declaring that the records show that the Popploton estate paid the last taxes nud that the title to the property hns been subject to n contract. with the Poppleton Park Building associa tion , which. It Is said , hns since been for feited. Before Judge Dickinson renders hU decision on Friday these affidavits will be placed before him nnd ho will be expected to detcrmlno Incidentally whether Mr. Tay lor Is an actual freeholder or not. 3VO CI1AI ; I3 THAT FITS THK CHI.MI3. Ullriiiinii of llic Ktnlc In of .11 in uiy I. Jimmy Lindsay , the ex-prlzo fighter , has not yet gone to trial for shooting nt one of the exposition guards early ono morning last summer. The charge against him was "shooting with Intent to kill , " but as the bullet from Lindsay's pistol did not lilt any thing , so far ns is known , other than a vast gob of ntmcephero , the attorney prosecut ing thought it would bo best to withdraw this charge nnd see If nnothcr felony could bo made to fit him.

Lindsay returned and managed to effect nn entrance , saying he wns In a hurry to go to some drug store to buy some medicine for his wife. He said ho bad simply left the grounds to try n drug store on Twenty-first street , nnd ho was then going to see If ho could have better success on Twenty-fourth street. The trou ble occurred near the North Midway , and Lindsay was taking n short cut. In the quarrel ho fired off his revolver , with the result stated. 3IIICB MAIUCKSO.V C.VMI3I ) IX COUIIT.

Committees are now nt work on the problem nnd It will soon bo known whether the old Board of Trade will be re vived or a new club formed. In this de cision the majority .will rule ami from pres ent Indications a new club , to bo known as the South Omaha Commercial club , will be formed. All of the members of the old Board of Trade will bo given nn opportunity ot becoming Charter members In case the committee decides that It will bo advisable to effect an entirely now organization. There U no disposition to slight the old organiza tion or In any manner cast reflection upon It , b.ut as It has been practically dead for a number of years many think that there Is no necessity for resurrecting It. H Is ar- sorted that an entirely new organization with now officers nnd n lot of fresh Wood would be much better at this tlrao than to revive the old board. Just what the com mittee's report will bo remains to be seen , but from what Is heard on the streets It Is Inferred that a new club will bo recom mended. .Not . many months ago the packers ami representatives of other corporations hero signified a willingness to assist In paying the expenses of such n club provided a real live organization perfected , with offi cers 'who would look after the Interests ot the city regardless of political affiliations. A meeting -was called for the purpose of talking the matter over , but on account ot the condition of the weather at that tlmo the attendance was so small that nothing wns done. A. U. Kelly has suggested that the atten tion of the packers bo called to the new or ganization with a vlow ot making the same arrangements as suggested last fall. Ho thinks that It the matter Is placed In the proper light plans can bo perfected whereby a permanent secretory can bo employed to look after the Interests of the city at all times. Further than this Jlr. Kelly soys that possibly the Union Stock yards nnd the Live Stock cxchauago could bo Induced to Join and thus add to the revenue to be de rived for the maintenance of suitable rooms nnd the salary of a secretary. Those who are pushing the organization expect to be able to report remarkable progress by the time set for holding the next meeting. More enthusiasm than usual Is being manifest In this matter and from present indications It cannot fall to bo a success. Itecoril Mnwt 11 o Kepi. Printed blanks have been prepared for the use of Garbage Master Leungh and his em ployes so that now a record of every dead animal hauled luJtept. The ticket calls for the name of the owner of the animal , tha address , the number and kind of animal and where found. This slip is signed by the teamster who does the hauling and is sent to the city clerk at the close of every day'i business. Lenngh says that since this new system went into effot the number of dead dogs found has not fallen off any nnd the reports show that an average of five dogs a day are found. In very few Instances Is the name of the owner of the animals hauled placed on the report nnd In this respect It Is stated that Lanagh Is negligent. H is not supposed that the name of the owner of every animal can .be found , but those who suggested the present system think that an owner's name ought to be found In some of the cases reported. SluIT In Off Ajrnln. The much-talked-of change of offices be tween the city engineer and the chief of police is off for the third and last time. It was settled yesterday that the city engineer will remain In his present quarters and the chief of police will stay where ho Is. Al terations to the city hall building will be completed in a day or two. Painting is to follow the work , but this will not bo done until all of the other work Is completed. By the placing of a largo window In the south wall at the east end of the council chamber the ventilation has been Improved , and It Is thought that there will be no furth er 'complaint from this source. George & . Co. , the agents for the owners of the build ing , are doing everything possible to make the' city officials feel at home In the new quarters. KKK I'rleeH < : < > Down. The price of eggs took a tumble yesterday and left several dealers In the lurch. One grocer , who was banking on Forecaster Welsh's prediction of n norther nnd con tinued cold , loaded up on eggs at 35 cents a dozen. The best Joke Is on a well known wholesale merchant on lower N street , who thought he saw a good thing when a farmer offered him a crate of eggs at 25 cents a dozen. This merchant spent several hours crowing over his business sagacity , but he changed his tune yesterday when a neigh boring dealer put out a sign , offering nice fresh country eggs for 17 cents a dozen.
