HEIRS BRING SUIT IN COURT
Endearor to Recoier Sixty Thousand Dollars
from TbaddeuB J. Foley.
NEBRASKA CATTLE RANCH IS INVOLVED
Heir * nt .John M. Hnlovr , Formerly of
Gordon , Cherry County , Ncl . , In
voke the I.IMV to Secure
Sonic Money.
Thaddeus J. Foley of this city Is mods
defendant In a suit to recover $60,000 ,
brought by the heirs of the late John M.
IJnlow of Cherry county , Nebraska. The
original nottco of the suit was filed yes
terday in the district court and the papers
In the case , it Is said , will be filed tomor
row.
row.John
John M. Enlow and T. J. Foley , who is
ono of the principal officers of the Peru
Plow and Implement company , were part
ners In an extensive cattle ranch near the
town of Gordon , in Cherry county , Ne
braska. Bnlow was a bachelor and lived on
the ranch , which ho managed. Ho died
July 25 , 1896. The heirs who nro plaintiffs
in the suit are : Mary E. Morgan , Francis
M. Slgler , Andrew Slgler , George C. Slgler ,
Sarah A. Traverbraugh , Jarmella E , Slgler
and Altle B. Fox , n minor. As the basis
of their suit , the heirs allege that the year
following the death of John M. Enlow , Foley
represented to them that his late partner
was greatly Indebted to htm and also thai
as the ranch was Indebted to the amount
of $60,000 , Enlow's Interest In It was not
worth much. Relying on thcao representa
tions , the heirs , most of whom live In In
diana , say they sold their individual In
terests In Enlow's estate to Foley for $500
apiece and that In all he paid them about
$3,000. Later , they allege , they discovered
that Foley had misrepresented the true state
of affairs to them ; that Instead of Enlow's
Interest In the ranch being worth llttlo
or nothing , ho In fact died possessed of a
halt Interest ; that he was not Indebted to
Foley , and that there- were no debts of any
magnitude against the ranch. The ranch ,
which contains between 3,500 and 4,000
acres , they claim was worth , with the 3,500
head of cattle , some eighty head of horses
and machinery , at least $120.000. Of the
$60,000 which the heirs seek to recover , $10-
000 la for certain papers and account books
belonging to the late J. M. Enlow , which
they allege Foley took possession of at the
time of his death.
A second suit'In connection with the same
ranch Is brought against Foley by Alfred
II. Davis , guardian of Lucy M. Holmes , a
minor. Lucy Holmes Is the daughter of a
woman who acted ns housekeeper for En-
low , and who is alleged to have had an In
terest in a certain number of the cattle
and horses on the ranch at the time of En-
low's death. These cattle , it is alleged ,
were converted by Foley to his own use
with the rc6t of the stock and $1,800 ia
asked for as the value of the stock.

TOR A MUMCIPAIi MGHTING PLANT ,
I'rononltlnti front n Chlcnjcn Concern
to Fnrnlnh the Cnpltnl.
E. L. Draffen of Chicago , president of the
Municipal Construction company , Is In the
city In the Interests of the proposition made
by his company to furnish the capital
thereby the city can establish an electric
light plant with the possibilities of ulti
mately owning it. Ho held n confcrcnco wltt
several members of the city council yester
day morning at which the matter was dis
cussed. Last evening another confcrcnco was
held at the Grand hotel nnd It is expected
that the matter wllF como up before the
council for Us action tomorrow night.
The proposition of the Municipal Con
struction company to furnish the capital
with which the electric lighting plant Is to
bo erected is conditional on the company
securing the contract to build and equip It ,
In the event of the council deciding to ac
cept the proposition the whole matter will
have to bo laid before the voters of the city ,
as the scheme Involves the granting of a
valuable franchise.
C. E. Campbell , a member of the Board ol
Public Works of DCS Molnes , was In the city
> estorday for a short time on his way west
and ho seized the opportunity to pay Mayor
Jennings and other city officials a visit. Mr.
Campbell le consldcicd ono of the best au
thorities In the state on all matters pertain
ing to municipal affairs. When told of the
proposition made by the Chicago company
relative to an electric light plant be said ho
was a great advocate of municipal ownership
of all public utilities , but was not always In
favor of municipal operation. For instance ,
ho said ho was In favor of municipal owner
ship and operation of water works and was
likewise in favor of municipal ownership of
street rallwaje , but not In favor of them
being operated by the municipality. In cities
where the civil service system prevails , Mr.
Campbell said ho was In favor of the munici
pality operating as well as owning the pub
lic utilities. Civil service Is not In vogue In
this city and as the political complexion of
the city's administration is apt to change
every two jears , Mr. Campibell did not think
It wourd bo altogether a wlso thing for the
city to attempt to operate any public utility
such as an electric lighting plant.

Row Between TITO Faction * Renalta
In a I'ernonnl Animnlt.
That the broach between the different fac
tions of the democratic party in this city
Is not healed over was demonstrated by an
Incident that happened yesterday. Charles
Huber , the Broadway butcher , has been a
lifelong democrat and is an ardent disciple
of Bryan. Locally he is an anti-Jefferson
clubite. Someone knowing how ho stood as
regards Brooks Reed and the silk stocking
club'decided to play a practical joke on him.
A big placard with the words "Jeffersonlan
Club" was lacked onto his delivery wagon
and It had been driven all over town before
Huber discovered It. When he saw the hated
sign Huber waxed exceeding wroth. He
jumped to the conclusion that Colonel W. H.
Knepher , boss of the city sewer gang , was
responsible for the placard and he started
out to hunt the colonel. He found him near
the city building. Jumping from his wagon
Huber corralled the diminutive boss of the
eowor gang and while giving him a genuine
tongue thrashing accompanied his remarks
between each sentence with a box on the
ears with his open band. Huber weighs
about 250 pounds whileKnopher docs not tip
the BJales at over 150 pounds. Colonel
Kaephcr called on the police for protection
and Huber being satisfied with the punish
ment inflicted got Into his wagon and drove
off. Knepher denies having attached the ob
noxious pfacard to Huber's wagon and
threatens to bring an action against him for
assault.
Suit for AlIcRcil Overtime.
Michael J. Hlgglns of this city brought
suit In the district court yesterday to recover
Irom Farreir & Co. of Omaha $149.12 which
] o claims Is duo him for working overtime.
[ n his petition Hlgglns sets up that ho was
employed by the defendant firm during the
months of August , September , October and
November of last year and that he was com
pelled to work over and above the regular
lours of his employment. Most of this over-
, lmc , ho claims , was put In at night and
jo figures that he worked in all 227 hours
over his regular time. Ho thinks his labor
'or such overtime la worth 06 2-3 cents an
lour. The suit Is apparently based on the
eight-hour law.

DBS MOINES , Aug. 5. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The democrats of Polk county In
their contention held today unmercifully
scored Cnto Sells of Vinton , who Just at
tkls tlmo Is the most prominent of the candi
dates for the gubernatorial nomination on
the democratic ticket. Walter McIIenry , an
old-time democrat nnd politician , started
the ball rolling by calling Sells a traitor ,
a coward nnd a cold hue , and then a halt
dozen more took a turn at roasting him. The
convention finally Instructed Its delegation
to vote for Rev. S. H. Basher of Waterloo
for governor. Basher has been a preacher ,
a newspaper man , a politician and an In
surance ngcnt , nnd now wants to bo gov
ernor. The convention passed resolutions
endorsing the Chicago platform and Bryan.
Judge Klnne of the State Board of Control
today filed a report on convict labor , and , In
fact , labor for the Inmates of all state In
stitutions , ho having Just returned from a
tour of inspection of forty-seven state In
stitutions In eastern states. The report
recommends that the convicts be employed
In manufacturing bolts , stoves , boots , shoes ,
chairs , wooden ware and gloves , and says
the state can undoubtedly make n nice profit
out of it. For the Insane , basket making ,
brush making , caning chairs , harness mak
ing and comb and button making are rec
ommended. Broom making , chair caning
and basket manufacturing are recommended
for the blind. For Mitchcllvlllo nnd Eldora
Inmates the knitting ot stockings is recom
mended and shirt making for Mttchcllvllle.
Sewing and dressmaking are recommended
for the deaf and dumb. The manufacture of
brick Is recommended for all of the institu
tions where suitable clay may be had and
where men or boys are Inmates. It Is recom
mended that a plant be equipped at some In
stitution where the inmates may manufac
ture all of the clothing used by the state
and that a well equipped job printing office
also bo established at one of the institu
tions and smaller ones in ono or two more.
It is now proposed to have a meeting of
the representatives of the towns having
companies In the Fifty-first regiment of
Iowa volunteers. Robert Klsslck of Oska-
loosa is in correspondence with each of the
towns and asking an opinion as to whether
It would not bo advisable to have a meet
ing here for that purpose. Klsslck's appea
is as follows :
To the Citizens of Des Molnes , Vlllisca ,
Glenwood , Knoxvlfle , Shenandoah , Oska-
loosa , Creston , Bedford , Corning , Council
Bluffs and Red Oak : You are respectfully
requested to send a representative to Des
Molnes on Thursday , August 17 , to meet
with Governor Shaw and confer with him
with regard to making arrangements for the
reception of the Fifty-first Iowa volunteers
upon their arrival , and also to see If some
arrangements can be made for their return
to the state as a regiment.

SIOUX CITY , 'Aug. ' 5. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The democrats of Woodbury county ,
Iowa , refused this afternoon , in convention
assembled , > to endorse the candidacy of S.
H. Basher for the nomination for governor
of the state. It was not so much that they
do not want Basher as that they refused
to bo tied up with instructions of any kind ,
although ono man , J , iM. Kclley , &ald that
Basher is not a democrat ; that ho was a
republican , and ia now a populist.
The convention was called > for the purpose
of naming eighteen delegates to the state
convention and it was after this had been
done that ( Mr. Murphy introduced a resolu
tion instructing the delegation for Basher
for governor that the trouble come up. The
result was that 'Mr. ' Murphy's resolution
was knocked on the head , but it was not
until several democrats had said a few
things about what they thought ought to
bo done. Still it Is thought a large ma
jority of the Woodbury county delegation
will support Basher In the convention.
Kelley. Is a delegate , but he has not much
following. It was simply the result of an
objection to t > a Instructed that made the
convention turn the resolution down. The
delegates named are : Godfrey Durst , V. C.
Sherman , Edmund Pendleton , P. F. Dillon ,
H. G. Chapman , S. L. Frlsblo , D. H. Sul

for $1,336.77 , ordering foreclosure on resi

In the latter suit based upon Attorney
General Lemley's recent decision , declaring
that stock Issued in the series plan was
illegal , thus making all payments on stock
merely in the nature of a deposit , This is
believed to be the first decision in the state
under the new ruling which affects many of

DES MOINES , Ia. , Aug. C. Covernoi
Shaw today received a letter from Edward
Rosenberg , secretary of the San Francisco
Labor Council , requesting the governor's
assistance to prevent the mustering out ol
the Fifty-first Iowa volunteers In San Fran
cisco. In the letter the labor loader referred
to the fact that boys will bo boys nnd that
San Francisco had many ovll attractions , the
result of which would cause them to remain
In 'Frisco and to flood the labor market.
Governor Shaw mailed a spirited reply and
among other things he btatcd In the letter :
The Iowa soldiers will not be soldier
tramps , nor will they attempt to beat the
trains , nor win they be put off on mountains
nnd in doserto nnd there miserably perish.
On the contrary they will return self-ro-
spectful and respected citizen soldiers , with
a record of which they will bo so justly
proud as to furnish a good measure of pro
tection against what might perhaps over
come weaker men with no reputation to
maintain.
There will be no check placed upon the
utterances of these men concerning the
cause In which they have been engaged. If
they eeo nt to discredit It It will be their
privilege to do so. Ono of my predecessors
once bald In a public speech , "If you hear
any ono utter any syllable against the gov
ernment of the United States or against the
president thereof , or against the cause for
which our boys are fighting , or do aught In
disrespect to the flag that waves over thftn ,
shoot him where he stands. They may nr-
rest you , they may try you , they may con
vict you , but they shall not hang you , I'm
go\crnor of Iowa. "
That fcplrlt of patriotism Is not dead on
Iowa soil , and while heroic meauurca will
not bo necessary now , I am free to say that
no returning Iowa ( soldier need fear to recent
In any dignified or manly way any disre
spectful utterances concerning him or the
cause for which bo has voluntarily nnd
bcrolcafly risked his life ,

Ho says among both regulars and volun

It Is the judgment of the fioldlera that It

In many respects , The highest bravery and
