• n asset of the bankrupt estate, or re
ject It, within a reasonable time.
As matters now stand, the lease Is
hubject to an option of Daniel.
The court further restrained the
Damn Realty company, David A.
, Baum, Its president, and Daniel Baum,
Its secretary, and their servants and
• gents from In any manner Interfer
ing with H's possession of the leased
premises by Daniel until further order
of ths court.
Baum to Appeal.
. Daniel Baum Saturday said that he
Would appeal the order of ths cgurt
to ths federal court, and If the order
Is sustained would appeal It to the
circuit court.
"Ths order may cost the creditors
Df the company lots of money,” said
Baum. “All the trustee has Is an
rmtlon on the building. He has de
^^rf^ulted In his rent for this month,
hasn't paid any taxes, and is keeping
s. dark building in the heart of the
retail district of Omaha that we can
rent Immediately. Many persons are
being kept out of work. We have a
prospective tenant that would take
possession of the building and employ
between 500 and 600 persons Immedi
ately.”
Baum said the Baum Realty com
pany, as owner of the building, en
joined from interfering with posses
sion of the leased property, was given
only 48 hours to answer the restrain
ing order, when a much longer time
was needed.

On February 5. Herbert S. Daniel,
ns trustee of the company, filed his
petition, setting forth the facts upon
which he hopes to establish his claim
of an option on his part of the build
ing within a reasonable time or to
accept the lease as an asset of the
bankruptcy estate or to reject the
same ns burdensome.
Dunham on that day Issued an or
der fixing the hearing of the petition
two rlays later and ordered the Baum
Realty company to answer In writing
to the petition on or before that
Cinte.
The hearing was postponed on
• greement of counsel until February
11, when the Baun Realty company
filed the answer and Daniel his re
piy.
Rental 8 Per Cent.
The rental on the building Is based
upon 6 per cent of (he valuation. This
^^gg's $6,000 per month under the last
^TpAppralsal. The lease also requires
l that the lessee, In addition to the rent
