The calm nnll alowances or E. hyde I
Itust , ex-recelnr or the American Water
Works cOlpnny. . which were referred to a
Ipecal , , master commissioner hy order or
JUdge nundy , have been carefully consld
ere and the report on the same was fed
In federal court yesterday afternoon .
ThIs adds another chapter to the some-
'hnt celebrated case or the Denver City
\ VaterVorhs company nnll other complainants -
ants against the American \ 'aterS'orks
'
company 'or New Jersey ali other defend' '
ants. I
Mr. Hust was primarily appointed receIver !
by the New Jersey court or chancery , as
the company was originally Incorlorate ( ( In "
'New ' Jersey , hut the properly or the corporas
" ton named was In Nebraska ' At the ( line
, , , - "or Rust's appointment the Omaha Plant was
tn possession or local receivers appolntell
; , 01 a previous sull. Judge Caldwel ousted
"tho local receivers and Installed Itust.
1q The Denver plant was also In possession or
/ / local receiver and Rust never got possesti
- , , _ / sln there , thus connning his duties largely
" . to the operation or the Omaha syslem. (
I , The stockholders or the company were
divided In two factions. One was the Ven-
ner wIng and they l1rvell a great thorn In
the side at Itust. In JUly , 18U3. Judge
removed Hust and Alonzo
'I DUlly all appolnteJ
I ) . Hunt , who served as receiver until Oc-
, tobr 13 , 18n. when Messrs. mis 14 . 131cr-
bower and A. I. hunt , the present receivers -
ers , were appointed on n foreclosure suit.
Around this sItuation a labyrinth at con-
fusing litigation was twisted , with a con-
, I fet at JurIsdIction . until a bewildering stack
'or filings mnde the case loom UI' prom I-
i nenly ( on the ( federal docket. The cash over
. the accounts of ex-Hecelver Hust was pre-
' clJltated hy the alownnces or the New Jerh
, soy court who allowed him compensation
for a period when he was not In IISSeslon
I at the Omaha plant , and when Judo ltiiuly
allowed compensation to local receIvers , who
' , were In possession at the plant during the (
period named.

M The master'B fIndings arc the result or an
l4 examInatIon or the reports , vouchers , books
' and accounts of ex-Hecelver Hust.
The receipts during the administration or
E. Hyde Hust , receiver , from October 18.
I 1892. to July 16 , 1893. were : Cah. $258.-
830.26 ; recelver's acceptances , etc. , $32,703 ;
. I total receipts , $291.634.16.
I DIsbursements : Cash . $213,122.64 ; accept-
ances charged , $32,70.90 : total disburse-
, ments , $276,826.6 ; balance on hand July
16. 1893 , $16,707.62. o this amount
$13,316.84 waS turned over to Mr. Itust's
successor A. D. Hunt.
The master finds the omce records com- '
plete. with the exception of the bank book
of "E. hyde Rust receiver " and the letter :
book used , during Hust's adminIstration .
These have been missing from the atTica at
Omaha since July 9. 18U3. and I Is a ques-
. ton I to whether or not they are the per- :
onal property or Hust.
UNWARRANTED TRANSFERS MADE.
: The master 'nds ' that Mr. Rust whIR
' actIng as receIver took $7,000 tram the funit
or the company at Omaha and transferred
the same to New Jersey , where they were
deposlte(1 In the Hudson NatIonal bank of :
New Jersey This money was removed beyond -
yond the jurisdiction at judge Dundy wih-
out authority at any judge or the UnIted I
States circuit court , which had jurlrlcton I
S . oyer the Property.of . . the company In Ne-
bras1la. and investigation re'elle the tact
that there was no emergency or Immedilte ;
necessity to remove the funds In the man -
mln-
ner descrIbed The money was sent to New
Jersey In three Installments In February ,
1893. The first draft was for $3.000 , on m
" February 13. The second was tor $2,000. on , I
' ( lie followIng day. The third WM for $2.000 ( I
on February 16. nIl remitted and chlrged I
to special account by Hust.
" i The master reports that the wIthdrawal or r
i . - thIs large sum or money only left $979 on hand I
as cash to the credit at Receiver Rust In I
the United States National bank ot Omaha ' ,
; and that this sum was Inadequate to pa r I
the current expenses of the water works company -
' pany at Omaha. InvestIgatIon disclosed the '
' fact that Hust did not check up on or use :
: any or the $7.000 on deposit In Jersey CIt :
Ciy
k for some time after.
k This J10ney at Jersey CIty was largely approprIate -
proprIate by Rust later In nI - I
leged payment for compensation for '
compensaton se- i
' Ices as receiver. Rust left salary vouchers
' to the extent at U.600 , and a voucher for L.
M. Garrison for he t sum at $ 10.22 . In leu
of $ ,609.22 or the $7,000 on deposit as above
mentioned. He claimed that the New Jersey -
sey court gave him authority to do this
. The balance or the $7.000 , amounting to
2390.78 , lie ( master says , was never properly
accounted for to the federal court , and that
list this sum , said to bo on deposit In Jersey -
sey City . has never been returned to the zoo -
i. , cesor at Mr. Rust , or to any omcer ot the
' , federal court , but still remains ! beyond the
( 'jurIsdicton ot the United States 'Ircuit court
' for time district of Nebraska.
4 , Time master finds that the New Jersey ;
, court nxed the compensation or Rust as re ; -
. - ' ceiver , but that this acton was never rati t-
- - lied or approved by Judge Dumly , or any ,
judge or time federal ( court for thIs cIrcuit
and that , furthermore , there Is no record In I :
; I the cIrcuit court aforesaid where Rust was
: , ever authorized to thus appropriate $4,500 at
t tllS sum to his personal use for compensa-
, tlon. Notwjtimstandlng tIme fact that It Is I

In stead bf crediting these Personal , gratu-

The master furthermore ( flails a recurrence
or trIps taken by Hust between Omaha nnd
Denver , which were exclusively In the ' Interest -
terest of the Uen\'er pTant , ani at no bene-
nt , eiher ( dIrectly or Indirectly ( , to the Omaha
system , The right at Hlst to do this Is
cbalcn/ed , on the ground that he was never
receller or the Dennr water works system ,
anll that Dennis Sullivan of Denver remained
In undisturbed possession or the Denver ss-
teat rn during the entire ( line while Hust served
at Omaha. The master finds that Hust never
presente , an applIcation to han hImself sub-
sttutl.1 as receiver at Denver In place at
salt Sullivan , anr that Rust's intervention
at Dennras an unolclal Inrrlngement
upon the plalu duty of the local rooeiver.
ThESE EXPEN8ES DiS/tLLO'tVit
These visits or Ihlst to Denvcr ) were tre-
( uent , and all were charged against the
Omaha plant.
Time master stands up for Omaha Interests
by rejecting and disalowing all thO expenses
Incnrrer on these Denver tript lie gives as
a reason theretoI that the Omaha all Denver
water vorles plants are ' 'thlatinot . remote In
distance , under different ummanagemnent sel'-
rate In acconnts , and neither contributng
In any financial manner to the Income or
sources ot revenue at the other. The Omaha
111ant docs not receive any revenue from the
Po
o peration of water service In the city or Den-
ver , and It Is not a just or reasonable charge
UIJon the derellant to thus divert the pay-
ment or expenscs Incurred by Mr Hust
causell by his personal presence In Denver
so frequently when his efforts were unot-
nelal , unauthorized by this court , and were
exclush'cl' In bhnif at the Denver sytenm '
or which DennIs Sullivan was the recognized !
rCe'er and emily representative empowered .
to t act as an oller of the court of jurisdic- I.
ton I withIn alli for the district of Colorado. " I
or time total nmount or $2.000.40 spent by
Rust In a sCuence or trips while receiver ,
the master rejects and disallows $1.106.44.
A large porton or this sum Includes the
Denvel' trips above nientioneil .
The master furthermore ( hide . and chlrges
the same to be true that Hust , In voucher
number 67G which was for the sum or
$1,00S.39. Included charges for board at
Omaha for a portIon at the period betwCn
, \ugust 10. 1892 , 111 January 6. IMJ3.
The Iem at eXllense Is InclUled In his
hotel h bills at the rate or $5 per day. Rust
was a guest at the : llard and Ihe Omaha
club frequently during that period The
alowance Is rejected by the master , together
wih hotel eXIenses Incurred by trips to
D enver . which were not In tIme interests : cr
the Omaha plant. The voucher for $1.008,39
Is choppc"d by the representative of the ted-
eral court to $217.60. which sum Is regarded
by the master as the only portIon or the
voucher which Is a just and reasonable
charge on the lefellaut , the Amerlcau ' 'ateI
\'orl < s company or New Jerse ) . The origJ
Inal I voucher Inclulel traveling expenses between -
tween August 10 and January ' 5. 1893. Many
of the trips were thrown' out as premature
and unjust charges.
SALARY ALLOWANCES CHOPPED.
In addition to the $4,600 mcntone else-
w here . the master Inds that Rust wlblrew
$1.000 more ( rain the funds at the company
and charged I to recelvershl11 expense for '
ompensatIon at the rate at $500 per month
making a total ot $ : 600 applIed as compen-
saton by Rust during his admlnistra'ion.
Afer searching the federal court records In '
vain for Rust's authority to 10 thIs the master -
ter rejects and disallows time salary vouchers , ,
ot Rust , and ree = mn1ells that the ( sum of ,
- i
$ ,000 lie paid the reelyer as a just liberal ,
and reasonable compensatIon for alt services m
renlered while Rust was receiver The New
Jersey courts allowed Rust the further sum L
at 1,564S7 for salary at time rate at $500
per n\ontb \ , tram July to October 1893 , but
Special Master iodine rejects and disalows
this , for the reason that he finds that Rust
wns suspended as receiver by Judge Dundy
on Juty : ( 16. 1893. And that urlig the period I'
betlveen July 16 , 1893. and October 13. 1893 , ,
salll Rust was not In possession or the'
Omaha plant , or any or the property ot the
American Water Works company at New Jer-
sey. On the contrary the master finds ( lInt '
base D. Smut was receiver at Omaha durIng . : '
Ing i that perIod , and that said A. D. STunt
was allowed $250 per month for his services I
as such. The master advances the theor )
that I would be n travesty on justice to t I
alow Rust a pensIon when lIe was releved
tram f duty , which In itself , would be twice 1
the amount paId to Mr. Hunt , who was In m
actve service. hence . the claim for bal
unce or compensation , not previously paId
rayed for by Hust In ins petition . fell I
April 13. 1894 , Is hinDeRed out by the man
ter's report. The allowance at $4,000 granted
Rust for the tInt he was receiver at Omaha
tmQ
Is i based upon the records In the case. The
amounts paid to local reeeivers prior to Rust's
administraton were fully considered and the
work done by Rust carefully revIewed
The master fluids that Rust was absent a m
great portion of the time on business at no
benefit to the Omaha system , and that proc
tcaly t Hust's duties were along the line pre
viously performed by Mr Ellis L. Derbower ,
one or the local receivers.
.
BASES OF ALLOWANCES. :
The amount allowed to Hust by the
master's report Is an increase over previous
compensations pall to the local receivers
or the Omahn Water Worlls company re -
speettvely. The ( lsbursemtnts under fins
showed a slight increase In business al1 ;
time tact that Hust had to file two bonds and
attended to much complex litigation was
duly and favorably considered by tbe ( master :
Time later , however , found nothing to jut
ty a compensaton or $500 per month to t ;
hlust In view or the fact that Rust was not
a practcal water works maim . and neces-
sariy hall 10 retain A. n. hunt . one or the
former local receivers as superintendent or
tIme water ervIce As long as Rust dil
not perform the combIned duties at the for
mer local receivers the master did not be -
ilovo that Hust was eniled to draw a sal
ary almost equivalent to that paid to the
joint reeel'erbhlll , and Inasmuch as Rust
Illl 10t have possession at the Denver plant
his dutIes really were simply onnne l , or
should have been devoted , to the management -
meat and operatIon at the plant at Omahl i ,
accordIng to time report or the master corn
ml810ner.
'ho total deductions on compensaton made
by the master are $ rOO on amounts previously m-
viously paid miami $1,564.87 or the claim pre
sente' as balance for services after Rum
was removed , Inl which was the salve evI-
denty preferred 10 Mr. Rust by the New '
Jersey court for wounded pride and the tme : ,
spent In winding up his reports , etc , I n
court
The report recommends that the petltlo n
petton
or Rust fell In Apri 1894 , for ratncaton
and connrmaton at accounts as receive
as allowed . bY the court at chancery at New
Jersey , . be denied , for reasons "speciflcahi y
set forth elsewher "
After reviewing the case at length anll
givIng full reasons for allowances and dim C-
allowances , time mater fixes the amount at
discharge at $253.596.74. The report tavor
the payment of outstallling claims against t
the company hell by Charles Offutt , Col-
lns & Corbin , amid W'anlmimmgton D. Wilams : ,
but refers thee claim , to time court wit hi
recommendaton that the claimants bo paid

amid reasonable comnpemis.mtlon.

ThQ year 1891 was one full at events of the
greatest Import to the Omaha live stcck mar-
ke t. Starting out with prospects of the
brightest , It closed with a general feeling at
distrust and uncertainty never before expe-
rlencell to such an extent here.
The drouth throughout the entire territory
tributary to this point drove In thousall at
caUle , hogs and sheep along In June , JUly
and AimgimsL In fact , the market was oversp
run during these months with stock tram the
drouth-strleken country. For this reason
receipts for the past year show UI' very tavor-
ab ly as compared with an ) ' previous year.
A large Part or the stock marketed during
the past six months however , was Immature ,
and ( hilt . Is the most discouraging feature or
the trade , as It practically assures short
sUllples for some ( line , and there ore those
who say It vIii : nIce fully Iwo years to re-
cover tram the indIscriminate marlletng at
stccl < that ( has beln going on for the past
Iast
six months. I does not take long to raise
a big crop at hogs under favorable coniltqns ,
but with cattle It Is different , all the hope
or the trade at Present centers In the we3t-
ern range cattle. These , however , cannot
be expected to Put In an appearance much
betore next July .

speculators are an absolute necessity . but
time fact that so small a proportion at the
receipts go elsewhere for slaughter speaks
volumes for the .
capaclt at the slaughtorlng
etablshments located here , and shows that
they have fully kept up wih the Irowth of
the market In other branches. A large 11er-

feeders to . be fInished on corn Somethln
11 200.000 cattle alone' were shippe out
during the pst year , so _ that ( only 'a smal
part of the cattle s labl& for killing have
to go .to other points to slaughteremi . The
fact that during the past year at , crop failures '
In tIme west over 200.000 cato were taken

an extent this ( branch at time Industry has
