'A suit to obtain r-ormenelon of BOO acre of
Valuable city property In Omaha, covered
by streets, htmes and building of various
kinds. Is to lie started In the federal court
by heirs of the late George Francis Train.
The property Involved Is estimated to bs
worth from 130,000,000 to $W,O00,X, and Is
bounded, roughly, by the Union Pacific
tracks. Twentieth street, Vtoiton' street and
the Missouri river.- It IS an immense sec
tion of the most ' thickly populated of
the south side. .
The property ai bought In 1SS5 by
George Francis Train, then, in the zenith
of his cnroer as a. financier of the -Union
Pacific railroad and boomer of Omaha and
the west. It passed out of his .hands on
mortgage forocloiwre : proceeding and now
the heirs propose to- Te-wer the value of
ths land or Its equivalent In money on the
ground that George Francis. Train was de
clared a lunatic by tbs New York courts
and no provision made, , for , the protection
of his property rights. . , "'
on of Tratw la Omaha.
Elsey McHenry Train, ths second son of
the dead eccentric, accompanied by his
wife, arrived In Omaha' yesterday,' 'and
After a conference with Geprge P. Bemls, a
nephew of the elder Train, and associated
with hmi In many enterprises, 'decided to
bring the suit, "WV Jf. ' Council being re
tained as counsel. " ,.' U ' ''
The" proceedings 'will be' in the federal
court and will lfeHfrnlnst Kounr Bros.,
the powerful fnnntlal 'Arm of New York
And Omaha, and : Samuel . E. ' Rogers, a
pioneer ' Omaha merchant, and capitalist,
who still survives at an advanced age.

It Is believed by those undertaking the
suit that Kountze Bros., and Samuel E.
Rogers will have to bear the damnife and
loss,-' owing to ' the guarantees of tltlo ao
eompenylng the land when it was divided
fend sold. Its possession now being vested
la thousands of home owners and others.
Delayed to Shield Father.
-The suit would have been Instituted
long ago," said Elscy McHenry Train,
"wero It not . for the tact that the matter
of my father's sanity, would ha ve been
called Uto question. r; Rather than distress
and twharraea him by the national pub-
lclty which would be given to the case.
I the heirs decided to wait unui nis aeaia
and then begin proceedings. Lawyers have
told us that we . are - certain to win the
case, as 'the-decree of 'Judge Noah Davla
of Newn-Ysrk . declaring George Francis
Train of unsound mind still exists.
"The laws require that before the prop
erty of an Insane person can be taken
aw Ay from him, a guardian must bs appointed'-.'
audi hl interests safeguarded.
This never was dons, the Omaha property
being foreclosed, while he was Incarcerated
In the Yombs prison New - York, in ths
winter of 187:1-73, the children being minors
and I myself in Switzerland.-' Our conten
tion is that the foreclosure-and subsequent
ale la 1875 was without Bus process of
law, as' against a .person who had -been
dsolarsdtiJsMaiuobyi tbs eeurts." ')
7 alt keeails Mach of Interest. 1
Ths present suit . recalls . much history
that at ths time awakened national Inter
est. It was ' the Henry Ward Beecher
Tllton trial that caused the 'arrest and Im
prisonment' Of Train. Mrs. Virginia Wood
hull and Mrs. Clafiin, taow Lady Cook, had
begun the attack on the famous 'pastor of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn. Train, aroused
by the aoeusatlon that the women were
publishing obscene' matter, leaped to their
support. In his own 'publication, the Train
League, he began to print excerpts from
the' Bible as an ironio commentary on
. what might be considered obscene. Ths
JNw York Young Men's Christian associa
tion, "by Its president. William E. Dodge,
aid Anthony Comstock, had Train arrested
and thrown In the Tombs prison, where he
' Jjuit-ulbhed for six months. The charge of
-sending obsosne matter through the malls
was never pressed, but Insanity proceed
ings. Were started, and on the testimony of
. export a decree was entered pronouncing
again t hie sanity. Efforts to save htm
' from, a mad house were successful and be
osoapeO, declaring many times 'afterward
that he was the only regularly licensed
tunatlo in the "world, '
Mr, and Mrs. Klsey McHenry Train are
enrotrte to Ban Francisco to visit George
rrartels Train, Jr. Returning- they will
top t the world's fair. ' They left Omaha
last night 'They were the guests of
George P. Bemls. Mr. Train for twsnty
one years was connected with the banking
house; of Kountse Bros'.

Agalast Ktw Yorker's Oaa
Concern.
. '
' Judge W. II. Manger granted a temporary
writ of Injunction yesterday In the
United States district court to restrain the
mayor and city council of Omaha from en-.
forcing the provisions of - ordinance No.
4160, which prevents DeWitt C- West of
New York and the Nebraska Gas. Fuel com
pany from constructing gas mains granted
under a previous ordinance numbered 1933.
Ths hearing Is set for July 15.
The plaintiff makes these allegations In
his petition:
Ordinance No. 1935 was passed by the
dty council of Omaha December 14, 18-Jt,
which granted CuDer E. -Yot. F.dKtir M.
Murtman and associate authority to lay
pipes, for ftirr.tahlng beat snd power, with
authority to acoulre ai
ind hold franchises
and such personal and real property as may
be necessry for transacting the business of
a ruel gns company. June it, iss tneee
men assigned their Interests to the Ne
braska Gas Fuel company July 1, 1HX9, the
Nebraska Gas fuel company, while atlli
owning this franchise, in order to provide
money for the operation, maintenance and
construction of the plant, issued $.TiO.O.'0 of
Its first mortgage bonds and for the pur
pose of sucurlng the payment of these
bonds, conveyed by trust deed of even date,
the franchise to the American -Loan and
Trust company of New York,, as trustee.
The trust deed was duly fohlosed January
22, lSlot, by virtue of a decree in a suit tn
equity brought by the plaintiff In the
I'nlted States circuit court for the district
of Nebraska, against, the Nebraska Oas
Fuel companyand others, and May 23. 1SK4,
under the foreclosure sale under this de
cree, all rights snd franchises under ordi
nance No. 19 and since have been trans
ferred by the master-ln-chancery to tne
plaintiff.
The petition goes on further to say that
on September 22, 1S35, the city council of
Omaha passed an ordinance numbered 4160,
which repealed the ordinance No. 1935,
passed in 1S88. However, , the plaintiff Is
now about 'to submit plans pursuant to or
dinance No. 1936 and desires to now oocupy
certain 'streets and alleys of the city of
Omaha for the purpose of laying gas pipes
under thesorovislons of that ordinance for
gas for all of. the inhabitants of the city of
Omaha. , The mayor of the city of Omaha
and its active officers refuse to allow, and '
if need be will arrest the plaintiff or his
employes to prevent them Xrom laying the
gas pipes under the ordinance No. 1935, as
the mayor and council claim that ordinance
No. 4160 Is a .legal ordinance and that it
has repealed .ordinance JJo. 1935.

tansHsssnnnBs,
WANTS MAN WHO KEPT HIM PUNISHED
.
Pollee Are Asked to Take Seek Steps
as Will Satisfy tke Demands of .
Jastlce and Irate Italian's .
There Is sorrow In ths home of Qiavonl
Sporettl, an Italian organ grinder. Wednes
day afternoon Sporettl appeared at the po
lice station and told a story as full . of
pathos and humor as a school boy's pockets
are with marbles.
For years the Italian made a living In
Omaha and throughout the sta,te with, his
organ and monkey, the latter named "Sven
galL" By careful economy Sporettl saved
enough money , to enable him to take a trip
back to Italy. He left about two months
ago and returned last Monday, .leaving
"Svengall" In she care of James McClosky,
an old fisherman living on East Howard
street, near the railroad tpacksr McCloeky
, was to look after the material and spiritual
wellfare of tbs animal and return him tn
as good condition as wjjen received, which
Sporettl maintains was not done. The let
ter now. wants ths wheels of Justice turned
several times at the police station In his
behalf.
Not the Monkey He Used ,
According to the stories told, ths monke
was staked out in McClosky's yard, within
a stone's throw of the trckx. Train
crews, it Is said, took particular delight In
hurling pieces of coal at ths monkey to
see the little animal perform antics, think
ing the precious nuggets of anthracite ware
mere cocoanuts. On various occasions the
aim of the railroad employes was not half
bad, with the result that the monkey fared
badly at their hands.
When Sporettl returned the . other day
and called for his, monkey a Sorry sight
met his vlBlon. Instead of the bright and
cheerful greeting he had been wont to re
ceive from '."Svengall" the monkey was
dejected and melancholy and looked- as If
life, held but little for him. "Bvengall
was sans one eye, caudal appendage and a
leg; had several vacant spots on his .body;
was walking with a crutch, and suggested
a battle-scarred veteran waiting , for the
pension examiner. ' .
Further than this Glavonl "Sporettl main
tains that ."Svengall" stored away more
than a ton of coal for MaClusky( more
than enough to pay for the animal's keep.
And In view" of the allegations Glavonl
Sporettl thinks a charge of criminal negli
gence should be entered against the man
who he says Ill-treated his monkey. The
police department Is thinking the matter
over. . .
