Case Itlll ia aWakraftey Ceart-Vel. amiaer Eviaaace-Craeiten Jkilec FramA. The "Black Flag" store, which has been tied up some extremely comlpex litigation for about a month was aold at public auction last Monday, J. J. Richards of Farnam, Nebraska bid ding it in for about $4000. This store was opened in Jane, 1903 by Richards Brothers and London. In May 1904 it went into bankraptcy, J. D. Stires being appointed trastee. When the store was closed the stock was invoiced at f 7,?& which repre sented the total assets that could be found. Later the stock was appraised at $300 and Several suits were brought against trastee Stires by creditors. The Hamilton Brown Shoe Company 6ued to recover pos session of ft4tf worth of shoes, claim ing the bankrupts had bosgbt them under false pretense. Of this lot of shoes bought in April 1904 bnt $3S9 worth were in the store at the time of its closing in May. This suit is still pending. R. P. Smith and Sons Co. instituted a similar suit for 950 worth of shoes which are practically all in the store at this time. This snit is also pending. The creditors have proceeded oa the theory that the bankrupts had bought goods, knowing themselves to be in solvent and had shipped these goods to various parties, principally to S. Richards of North Platte and A. Lon don of Newman Grove, with intention to defraud their creditors Several, claims were presented against the bankrubpts. Morris London claimed 420 for wages said to be due him for wages on a verbal contract br the terms of which he was to receive $70 per month, but says he has received only 95. Sam Richards claims 700 said to be due him for merchandise. The largest creditor is Richards and Roberts Dry Goods Co. of St. Joe, who have a claim of $2800. The liabilities of the bankrupts amount to $10,000. The costs of liti gation and the amount that will be left to the creditors are still in the balance. The testimony in the case already covers about 500 tvpe written pages. J. J. Richards will continue the busiueess at the "Black Flag". A Host Iaaastry. The Columbus Cream Company, under the management of '. N. tev- euson. has made wonderful progress since last spring. Mr. Stevenson is churning daily from 800 to 1000 pounds of butter besides selling from 40 to 50 gallons ot sweet cream daily. The butter output absorbs the product of about 1000 cows, and the sweet cream sold takes the product of 200 more. Tne company keeps two men on the road gathering cream, but most of the farmers deliver their own cream at the creamery. The company's busi ness in neighboring towns is also in creasing, the product being shipped in. Mr. Stevenson uses what is called the Babcock test in determining the amount of butter-fat in each can of cream. The process is very simple. A slender half-pint bottle is filled with cream from each can and numbered to correspond with the number on the can. A small amount of sulphuric acid is added and the mixtnre churned five minutes in a fast-revolving appa ratus. The butter-fat rises to the top ot the long-necked bottles which are marked with a graduated scale to in dicate number of ounces of butter-fat contained. The test is absolutely ac curate so that each customer is paid for every ounce of butter-fat contained in his cream. The nnuni nunran mri ilia PlattA , AAAC7 V W,, WVOMfrWIJ JWJ. vmw a otw county farmer within three cents per pound as much as the New York mar ket. Prices are a cent or two lower this summer than they have been since 1V.9. This is due, Mr. Steven son says, to the unusually large prod uct this year, caused by the abandant rains which have made the pastures good. If the business increases next year as much as it has this year, the plant will have to be enlarged and an in creased number of men employed. There is no single industry that would increase the productiveness c Platte county farms more than the de velopment of the dairy, and no fac tory that would help the merchants of Columbus more than a creamery plant that would take care of every pound of cream produced in the county and relieve the merchants of handling bat ter at a loss. There is no reason why the milk industry should not be developed ia this section as it is in Iowa aad Illi nois where on many of the railroads regular milk trains are ran. The Journal hopes the day is near whaa a carload of cream will come to Co lumbus on every railroad and braack entering our city, to add to the pros perity of every retail merchant aad every other business interest represent ed here.

The library is ia the most floarish lag ooaditian that it has ever aeesi and Miss Gaer, the librarian, reports that the interest and patronage of the citizens is greater than ever. The ia come is not yet sufficient to keep the reading room opea every day, aa the librarian woald lika to do aad as public interest seeau to demand, bnt it is hoped that this may be done before long. It is aow open to the public oa Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons. Miss Geer telle an incident showing the interest that the working classes feel in the public library which furn ishes them free reading matter. The wife of a laboring man came to her and asked if she would be allowed to contribute ten cents a week toward the support of the library. She said that her husband and herself wanted to do something to help maintain the library and that was all they could afford. The library authorities are hoping that every family may be affected with the same notion in accordance with their means. AataekatFira. The fire alarm sounded yesterday at about noon and within five min utes the fire department and a large number of citizens were at the resi dence of G. T. Everett, where the fire was reported. The fire had started in the roof of the kitchen, at the base of the chim ney. Mr. Everett was working in dustriously with a backet of water when the department arrived. A hole was soon made through the roof at the seat of the fire and a small amount of water sufficed to do the rest. Indeed some of the eye wit nesses say that the fire was cxtin guished by the use of a dipper and abucket in the aaads of Chas. Easton. The house is owned by Rev. D. T. Alcott. The dasaage is estimated at about f 15. which is fully covered by insurance. New Csasaaaarctal Staaaata. President W.

Henry Stevens, administrator, of the estate of Margaret E.

The petitioner alleges that the deceased was not possessed of aay per sonal property at the time of bar death and had only this laad, valu ed at $1600 and encumbered fey the estate of curtesy of her surviving husband. William Koenig filed a complaint against John O. Schutt asking for aa accounting and for dassagss. The plaintif alleges that he aad the'de fendant formed a partnership ba Dee. 26. 1904 for the purpose of purchasing and operating a threshlag oatfit He complains that the dsfeadaat has collected between $400 aad tSOOfor threshing since that time aad has conveted it all to hisowa use except $15 and refuses to accounting. He 'complains 'also that the defendant has appropriated -the threshing machine to his owa ase, excluding the plaiatiff froat aarpart of the benefit therein. The plaiatiff asks that the defendant be compelled to account to him for one half of the bills and oat half of the msshine Great E. Johnson of Walker Iowa ship has broagat snit agaiast Andrew Nelsoa. a constable of that tawaship, together with Nelaoa's safeties, to recover rtsmagss for aaalleeje3viO' lation of law in the perxoissaaoe of his duty as constable. The pstitioa recites that in 1903 a oertaia judg ment was issued agaiast the plaiatiff aad an execution oa the same was delivered to the defendant, aathoriz ing him to collect the judgment oat ot the effects of the plaintiff. The plaintiff alleges that although he tendered payment of the judgment in full at the office of a justice of the peace in Lindsay, a few days after the execution was issued, aad had his attorney notify in writing, the defen dant that said payment had been ten dered, said payment was refused, and the defendant went to his farm, ac companied by a hired assistant, to levy on plaintiff's property. The plaintiff alleges that he again offered to pay the judgment if defendant would go with him to his bank ia Newman Grove, and upon the defen dant's declining to aooept paymeat in Madison county, the plaiatiff agreed to go and did go with defea dant to Lindsay where he agaia offer ed to pay the judgment by three o' clock in the afternoon. This offer is also alleged to have been refused, and the defendant proceeded to levy on the plaintiff's team and baggy, wherepuon the judgment is alleged to have been paid. The plaintiff says the charge of $4.45 for the levy of the execution and for assistance in levy ing same was unnecessary and unauth orized and that $3 for delivering two. subpoenas in the ease was excessive and illegal; that he is a peaceful citi zen and would have gone with the de fendant without the aid of an assist ant. The plaintiff therefore asks that the statutory penalty of $50 be im posed upon the defendant for the ex cessive charges and that he be grant ed$10C.45 ia damages aad the costs of this action. Warrants for the arrest of John Flaccus, Peter and Chris Koizel,of Taraov on the charge of assault aad battery were issued yesterday aad Sheriff Carrig brought the parties to Colambus today for their bearing.
