nnd tliu call for bids was madethcio was an
interval of several seconds , which grew Into
minutes The suspense grew almost painful ,
and it began to appear that t obody wanted
the property Unit all sccirod anxious to got.
'
rinully tho'slicnco was broken by a timidly
spoken bid of f ilOO. ( It dime from ono of
the Omaha gentlemen. The auctioneer did not
dwell long until bo had several bids that
brought the price offered up to f Ifi.OOO. 1 his

Knocked olT to him
The crowd was then bustled out of the

liov wcro InsoUcnt and were tlun in tending

When nslicel why the filing of these claims
ad been postponed so long , the nttorncjs for
he ntuidilng creditors stated tint thcv had
jccn waiting to give the Elsemnns a chance
o do the squaio thing by them ; that 110
imposition of any kind had been made by
hem to tbo creditors , and that they had be
come convinced that the only way in
vhieh they coulet hope to realize any-
hiii on their claims was thiough
some such move as thcj have now proccceled
o miiko. "Wo figured on the case , " said one
of them , "and lounet at the highest calculi
Ion tliuro would bo not to exceed " 0 cents on
ho dollar left for the rest of us
iftcr these profencd creditors had
icon paid wo wcro not satlslicel
led with the outlook , very naturally. We
thought that the fact of the chattel
nortgagi's liming been tiled the vciy
lay befoio the piesent assignment was made
was a suflident ground for claiming fraud ,
We don't claim tint Ofliccr& Puscv and the
rest of the moi tgagr-M w ere Implicate d In the
fiuud , however. Uui idea now is to turn the
the tables on tlioio fillows who were goiii | !
to shut us out In the cold. If alt oui plans
turn out us wo now think they will I see nc
10 lion why wo shouldn't icalizo 100 cents or
Lhodoll.ir , while they have to plav the second
end fiddle. "
The stock Is now in the possession of Mr ,
J. 1 } iloblcn , a commercial ti.uelor for the
linn of Marshall Field & Co of Chicago
Some ouiioslty was felt us to wli it ho would
do with It , now that ho has It. When asked
nboat the matter by a HII. ropoitor , l.o ro
piled : "I am going to keep It light here
and soil It Just as soonnsl can iniko tin
necessary .iinngoincnts vVlioslior I
shall make the establishment a permanent
thing or not I can't tell just now , as I am 11
stranger hero and I can't tell how It will pat ;
out. "
'I his statement sets at rest the fears ol
some who thought tint the stock would In
taken a\vav in oieler to pii'vcnt the uttci
demoralization of theCoumil Bluffs market ,

largest eliy goods linns in thoelty on thcli
