Holloway commenced suit in the dis trict court yesterday against J. R. Blair , the Chicago & Northwestern railway , the Sioux City & Pacific railway nnd Harl & AlcCabe of this city asking that the nmount of two Judgments secured by Blair against the two defendant railroad companies be declared n trust fund belonging to the plaintiff. The suit Is a result of the cases brought against the two railroads by a number of hay- shippers who secured Judgment In a largo amount In the aggregate for excessive rates. In his petition Holloway states that In 1895 , being Indebted to Blair , he executed a bill of sale to certain property under an agreement that Blair was to receive It In trust ; to administer and dispose of It , the proceeds to be applied to the payment of the debt owed by the plaintiff. The property wns sold by Blair according to the agree ment , but was not sufficient by $300 to re lieve Holloway of his total indebtedness to Blair. Among the property assigned In trust to Blair was a large quantity of hay , which It Is claimed was shipped over the defendant railway companies' lines for sale. Blair , In conjunction with a number of other hay- shippers of southwestern Iowa , discovered that they had been charged excessive rates and they brought suit to recover. They won their case In the district court and the railroads appealed. The supreme court re cently decided the case In favor of the ship pers , affirming the lower court. Blair's portion tion of the Judgment secured against the two railroads amounted to $1,600. Holloway clnlms that as It was his hay which Blair ( shipped to trustee ; the proceeds of these judgments should belong to him and not to Blair. At the time the suits were brought an agreement was entered with Harl & Alc Cabe of this city , attorneys for the shippers , that they should receive half of the amount recovered from the railroads. This being the case , Holloway sets up that there Is $800 of the judgment belonging to him. He admits still owing Blair $300 and asks that the court order that the remaining $500 be paid to him ( Holloway ) . Holloway alleges that the railroad companies are about to pay the amount of the judgments and that un less the court declare thenmount obtained by Blair n trust fund he ( Hollowny ) will not be able to recover what he claims is his shp.re.
