Members to Prevent Com
pany From Leaving
Omaha.
Annual meeting of the Central Lift
association, In Its headquarters at 328
Leflang building yesterday, resulted
in a petition being filed In district
court to prevent officers elected from
tahlng office or removing company
records.
District Judge Goss granted a tem
porary restraining order. Philip E.
Horan, whose law firm asked for the
order, declares that the officers elect
ed probably would move the com
pany headquarters from Omaha to
MInden, Neb., where its headquarters
were ^originally, and that it is partly
to prevent this move that the petition
was filed.
Object to Proxy Vote.
The petition, which is brought in
the name of Ernest A. Conaway of
Omaha, relates that J. L, McPheeley,
MInden attorney, announced at the
meeting that he had 68 proxies to
vote, that the members present ob
jected to these proxies being voted
•because they had not been filed five
days prior to the company meeting,
a* is required by the company by
laws.
It relates that the chairman of the
meeting permitted these proxies to bo
voted, regardless of protests, and al
leges tjiat the chairman's action was
the result of a conspiracy "to keep
the control of the company from Us
members," and that the officers elect
ed with the aid of the proxies
threaten to remove office records and
records of the election from Omaha.
Nine Named Defendant*.
The petition makes J. L. McPhee
ley, A. Bostram, C. J. liroman, Ed
Peterson, S. J. Johnson, Oscar Bloom,
Peter Carlson, J. L. Huld and J. H.
Jenensen defendants, and Jn addition
to asking that they be rtstralned
from taking office as directors, it re
quest* that the following men, all of
Omaha* be declared the real doctor*:
C. H. Pino. M. A. Nye, C. E. Lowry,
C. W. Sears, Gjiy McKenzie and C. L.
Dindinger,
These men were nominated by the
40 members of the company present,
and would havs been elected directors
had not the proxies been voted, ac
cording to -tiic petition. Moreover,
these men favored keeping the com
pany headquarters In Omaha, accord
ing to Attorney Horan.
The Central Life association is a
mutual company, and has been in
existence for many years, Mr. Horan
raid. McPheeiey did' not announce
h» had the proxies until after nomina
tions had bsen made, the petition
states.
More than 38,000 jiatents were Is
sued by the United States patent of
fice in 1322.

Farmingdale, S. D., was represent
ed on the cattle market yesterday by
Adolph Mailman, who brought frig 10
carloads of 2 and 3-year-old steers,
the most of which brought 17.73 a
hundred.
"There lias been a scarcity of mois
ture in my section and as a result
there was but little wheat 1>ut In last
fall,” he said. "Blizzards in Novem
ber caused many cattle losses around
Farmingdale, but as my rattle were
protected by a good growth of Umber
I did not lose a single head.”
"Although there are a, great many
cattle on feed near Wisner heavy
steers are scarce,” said Otto Keller
of that place, who was on the mar
ket with two loads of nicely finished
steers that averaged 1.373 pounds, for
which he received 13.50 a hundred.
Mr. Keller said he had beefy ex
perimenting in feeding cattle on
ground corn and alfalfa and that he
had found It very satisfactory, the
ground cobs making a roughage that
prevents scouring.,
Heavy- cattle have been moving out
of the Pender section as fast as cars
could be secured, according to H. O.
Gralheer of that place, who was on
the market with a shipment of 17
bead of classy Hereford steers, that
tipped the scales aj 1,503 pounds, for
which he received the top price of
73.50 a hundred.
Mr. Gralheer said he had been try
ing for two weeks to get cars to
ship his cattle to market. He said
there was not many big rattle left,
but a lot of lightweights were being
fed for a later market.
