LINCOLN , Jun. 27. [ Special to TUB BEE. ]
A somewhat sensational case was com
menced in district court today ntruinst the
First Natloaal bank of this city , growing out
of tno failure of L , Meyer & Co. last August.
The suit Iii question is commenced by Claflln
& Co. of Now York. Last August the firm
of L. Meyer & Co. closed Its doors after giv
ing a bill of sale to the First National bank.
The bunk people took possession of the stock
and held undisputed possession until a burly
countable armed with a writ of attachment
sworn out by a rcpresontallvo of Cluflla &
Co. managed to gut possession.
Still later thu First National bank rcplov-
incd the gcods and commenced a suit for
damages ngulnst Cluilin. Today the luttor
llrm Illos u petition In which it neglects lo
in I nee words in tolling what It believes to
have been the inslne history of the caso.
It alleges thut the bill of sale g'vnn by
Mnyor was a Ilciitlous ono and Intended
simply to defraud honest creditors and lhat
the ilrm owed the First National bunk no
Eiieh sum of money and that the goods given
to the bank under the bill of sale were
worth aovorul times us much ns the bill
culled for. They allege further that the
bankrupt firm had a line of credit consisting
of securities and bonds hold by the bank
nnd suftlciont to moot any obligation duo thu
bank. Thoiirmof Clallln & Co , asks to bo
restored to the possession of the stock on
the grounds of fraud In tlio alleged transfer
to iho bunk and also asks that the stilt for
. ( Jj mugos Instituted by the bank be dis
missed.
Vlglillng for nn Olllco.
Lonlo Otto has taken his contest for a
constableshlp to iho district court , where ho
hopes to obtain the emoluments thut nro
now denied him by the county commls-
Bionors. Otto was appointed to Jill the va-
cuncv created by the sudden removal of Constable -
stable Mullory from the city. At the time
of the appointment it wus supposed thut
Otto would simply serve until Jnmiur.v 1.
Hut Mullory had boon ro-oleutcd , and hud ho
romulued in the eltv would huvo boon en
titled to hold his ofilca until January 1 , IS'.HJ.

polntmont to 1111 the vacancy would extend
ills time to January 1 , ISDli , Just ttio
cnmo , and ho fllod a bond and quali
fied for the oft1 co us soon ns his attor
neys cnmo to the sumo conclusion , The

afternoon. It occurred In Uio baaomcr.t of
the Richards block , ono of tno largest ottlce
buildings In tlio city , and a lixrRO crowd
rusncd to the apot. Investigation disclosed
the fact that a hot water boiler used to sup
ply the hath tubs of a barber shop had ex

welghod about 200 pounds , and was forced
by the explosion from the basement throuitn
tho.Iloor above and almnsi through the
seconu story door. It then foU bank to tno
door. The room has been vacata but a few
days , and a force of paper hangers were
decorating the colling at the time of the ox-
plosion. In Its upward flltrht the boiler
passed within four Inches of the. head of a
paper hanger at work on n high ladder ,
throwing him to the floor sixteen foot be
