Cin AGAIN WINS.
Suit Aftalnst Noon Estate and John 0.
Yclscr ct al. Again Decided In
Favor of the Citv.
Lust Friday in tho district court
Judge AdimiH again siistuinud tho
pity's contontions in its suit against
vIJjo Michigan Trust Company and
.John 0. Yoisor ct al. to recover tho
proceeds of the sale of tho bonds is
Mind to raise money to build tho
electric light plant.
Tlw history of tho enso shows one of
tho hardest fought legal buttles in tho
history of Nebraska. In 18!).'l tho city
f Ilod Cloud issued bonds for tho
purpose of installing an elect tic light
pliant. Tho proceeds of tho sale were
lopositod with tho Farmers A- Mer
rt'.hnuts bank, which soon afterward
Snilod. At tho timo of tho failuro of
lt.be bunk thoro was on deposit to tho
credit of tho city 5(5,087.
When tho bank failed tho creditors
pureed to allow tho stockholders one
ear in which to make u settlement of
claims against tho bunk. Tho stock
holders wore to deposit deeds and
other securities to secure tho payment
.of the claims. C. Wiener was tho cus
ftufllaii of tho securities deposited.
John W. Moon was ono of tho honv
uest. stockholders in tho bink, and to
secure his portion of tho liabilities ho
,ynvo a trust deed to that part of tho
.Moon block now occupied by Hadell's
dry goods storo. When J. W. Moon
tied tho Michigan Trust C , trustees
of tho estate, sold tho Moon block to
I)r Dutnerell of this city, and tho
property named in the trust deod was
included in the sale. It is said that
2 'Jr. Diimereirs interest in the building
is secured by a mortgage to tho trust
company which is not to bo paid until
tho title is cleared Judge Adams' do-
Msiou sots aside this sale and orders
the building to bo sold to satisfy tho
claim of tho city, which is the only
claimant against the bunk who has
tint been paid.
Tho otlicials of the bank also gave a
trust deod to the bunk building to se
cure tho depositor. John O. Yoiser
ct al. claim to have purchased the
bunk building under a sale held to
.satisfy a judgment hold by Thomas
Kyun Judge Adams1 decision was
that the sale was invalid, evidence
having been introducod to show that
the judgment had been paid with
money borrowed from the State Bank
ol Ksd Cloud on securities deposited
with that bank by the cashier of tho
Vnriuers A- Merchants bank, and that
Judgment was paid before the alleged
ile of tho bank building to Yoiser et
til. Judge Adams' decree orders that
the bank building also be sold to sat-
iufy tho claim of tho city of lied Cloud.
The city's claim, in principal and
interest, now amounts to about $8,000,
auid there is no doubt in tho minds of
the attorneys that tho city will some

judgment in the district court some

was reversed on ii technicality and tho

Why the Curfew Dees Net Rlitft.
Wo frequently hoar tho question
asked, "Why tho curfew boll no
longer rung?" Tho curfow boll has
not been rung for several mouths, nnd
for tho reason that there is no ono to
ring it who can always bo there at tho
right timo. Clarence Lewis, who had
the job, and who was faithful and
punctual while ho hold it, tendered
his resignation after an experience
which he had ono night, and wo do not
blamo him. On tho night in question
some of our "imps of darkness" placed
a bucket of slop in tho bell tower in
such 11 manner that when tho bell
ropo was pulled tho man below would
get soaked. Lewis got tho full benefit
of the dirty mess, and no ono can
blamo him for refusing to coutiuuo
tho almost thankless task
IJtit it is just as well, anyway.
Tho curfow ordinance is a "frost
to say tho least. Thoro is no moro
justice or reason in compelling child
ren under 1(5 years of ago to go to
roost with the chickens than there is
for making grown persons do tho same
thing; in fact, it is tho o'dor persons
who got into the most trouble between
the hours of darkness and dawn, and
not tho innocent children.
Now, if it wo'o possible to enforce 11
curfow law which would keep all un
married persons at homo after dark,
as well as all married persons, except
where tho husband and wife wore in
company, some good might result.
But that sounds moro like a ''pipe
dream" than anything else, so let tho
curfow remain silent.

Bej&lnft The Question.
The Red Cloud Chikk in a huno at
tempt to win tho favor of a fow of tho
citizens of that place makes hold to
defend tho football boys who sought
to beat an honest board bill con
tracted in this city last summer. Wo
do not caro to enter into a lengthy
discussion of the ca'-e, and if tho edi
tor of The Chiek is inclined to poso as
the champion of law-breakers wo hard
ly think it worth our while to point
out the error of his way. Wo shall
not bo at all surprised if he finds it
compatible with his nature to inaugu
rate a campaign to save tho notorious
Webster county murderer from tho
gallows Barker, however, will prob
ably bo hanged Juno 1(5 and It is
doubtful if Tiik Chikk will bo consult
ed In tho matter. Neither Is it likely
that the football boys will get olf any
easior by reason of tho friendship of
,Tiib Chikf editor Franklin Sentinel.

from tho point. The point at issue is:

Aro the members of tho Red Cloud
football teum to bo held responsible
for a board bill guaranted by a com
tnittoo of Franklin citizens who have
uot tho manhood to pay it? Tho
readers of Thk Chikk are familiar with
its position on the question of tho
punishment of Frank Barker. When
a newspaper editor resorts to vilifica
tion and abuse of innocent parties (
from a neighboring town in an at
tempt to forco thorn to pay a boar d
bill which was guaranteed by citizens
of his own town, it is not at all surpris
iug that he should seek to dodge the
question when brought face to face
with it Wo would like to know
Brother Barker's opinion of the Frank
lin peoplo who induced the Red Cloud
footbnll team to go to Franklin under
a guarantee aud then went back on
their word.
