vor of his daughter, Mrs. Bertha
Wetzler, 40, In District Judge Troup's
court, started to leave the jury box
Thursday morning, Michaella’ second
wife expressed her disapproval by
rushing at the jurors and jerking at
their coat tails.
Joe Marrow, court bailiff, warned
her to desist or she would be brought
before the judge.
She sat down, but jumped up again
almost immediately to shake her fist
in the face of the last of the depart
ing jurors.
Mrs. Wetzler brought suit against
her father to recover damages for an
attack alleged to have taken place in
an orchard north of town, where she
was picking apples, more than a >%ar
ago, growing out of a dispute over
the division of the estate of the first
Mrs. Michaelis.
It was in this same case that. Mrs.
Dora Gray, a sister of Mrs. Wetzler,
attacked her in the corridor outside
of Judge Troup's courtroom, last
Tuesday, pinching her arm until the
blood came and causing her to faint.

Why Not? Like Hundreds of Other
Women, Make Plans for a Model B
Electric
V oss W asher
Model “B” is the latest word in home laundry
machinery.
Experience has proven that corrugations found
in many washers are not essential for prop
, erly cleansing the clothes. There are no cor
rugations in the Voss Sea Wave to strain and
tear fabrics, hence it cleanses without injury.
In operation, the tub oscillates, and it is so
designed that it dashes the water back and
forth like the waves of a choppy sea, creating
a swirl resembling the figure eight, a gentle,
but most effective way of cleansing.
A copper tub insures great durability. Baked
enamel surfaces are responsible for good looks
and an easy way to spotless cleanliness.
Women can think of the Vos* Model “B”
as an investment that will pay real dividends.

Skinner Bond
Sale Is Made
Through Court
Stockholders Protest Action of
Receiver for Concern and
His Attorney in
$400,000 Deal.
A deal for the sale of $400,000 bonds
of the (skinner Packing company was
put through the federal court so quiet
ly on April 21 hy Keith Neville, re
ceiver, and Arthur Mullen, his at
torney, that the stockholders did not
learn of it until three days ago. Then
Alfred Munger, representing some of
the stockholders, accidentally learned
of the big transaction.
Now he and attorneys for the hun
dreds of other stockholders are pre
paring to take action.
The assets of the company, which
was thrown Into the hands of a re
ceiver at the height of a promising
career and just after its magnificent
plant in (south Omaha was completed,
are becoming less every day. Mr.
Munger declared that the sale of
these $400,000 of bonds will cut an
other big slice from the assets.
Price Low, Claim.
He said the bonds were sold at an
unwarrantedly low mice. The sale
was made to George E. Keeler of Den
ver at 85 cents on the dollar. The
bonds are a first mortgage on the en
tire plant which, In 1921, was official
ly estimated to be worth $2,710,000. So
the security is ample.
It is further specified that the bond
ed Indebtedness shall not be increased
above $825,000. Ample security is made
for payment of interest at 8 per cent
through the Eqfiitahle Trust com
pany.
Should the interest on the bonds be
defaulted and foreclosure procee lings
follow in, say two years, the pur
chaser of the bonds would net about
18 per cent on the Investment.
Stockholders Object.
Stockholders declare the bonds, if
sold at all, should have been sold at
100 cents on the dollar, inasmuch
as they are secured by a first mort
gage on a new plant worth at least
three times the face value of the
bonds.
They are on a par with farm mort
gages which sell at par and bear only
6 or 7 per cent interest.
