Now Hit * a Museum of Indian Ilcllcs In the

When Sheriff Hazen was at Lake Okobojl
ast week he made the acquaintance of Miss
\bblc Gardner , who has acquired consider
able fame In the northern part of the state ,
ml especially among the visitors to the twin
akes , by reason of her romantic experiences
n the ' 60s. At that time she was a mere
child and lived with her parents In a little
cabin on the shore of Okobojl. The cabin
till stands where It used to , and Miss
Gardner , Instead of ekelng out an humble
Ivellhood by hoeing corn with her own
lands , the way her mother used to do , Is
growing rich charging admissions to the
nit and showing piles and piles ot Indian
relics.
According to her story , In the year 1850
the Sioux Indians rushed down upon the
little colony that had erected cabins on the
! ake shore , and exterminated It , all but three
girls , one of whom was Miss Gardner , being
tomahawked. The reason for her escape lay
n the fact that she snowed a bravery un
common to her sex , nnd smote the savage
tiearts with admiration. They scalped her
mother , her father , her brother and two
sisters btfor her eyes and then took her
away with them alive , to ornament their
camp , until several years later , when the
governor of Minnesota Induced some friendly
Indians to buy her from her captors and
give her back her liberty.
All the cabins but her father's had been
destroyed by the Indians , but In some way
that one had been spared. She obtained
possession of It , and started within it a
museum which draws a great many half
dollars from the visitors. She obtained an
appropriation from the legislature of the
sum of $7,000 , by means of which a monument
ment , fifty-six feet In height , has been
erected , nnd Is to be dedicated with ap
propriate ceremonies during the latter part
of next month.

"Decree granted as prayed for. "
With these few words delivered from the
snch of the federal court yesterday morning ,
udge Dundy practically decided the fore-
losurc case ot the Farmers Loan and Trust
ompany against the Amsrlcan Water Works
: ompany of New Jersey.
The decision Involves the Omaha Water
iVorks plant , \\hlch has been staggering
long In the courts with a burden of coin-
ilex litigation for years. Judge Dundy will
irepare the decree and send It to Judge
Uner within a few days for the signature of
he latter Jurist , who heard the case with
1m. Judges Rlner and Dundy conferred In
his city a few days ago and agreed upon
granting the decree of foreclosure asked for
iy the plaintiff. Judge Rlncr prepared a
decree , which he left In Judge Dundy's pot-
esslon , but the latter may revise It before
filing the same , or may prepare a new dc-
ree. Judge Rlner left the subject of re
vision entirely In Judge Dundy's hands , and
t Is regarded as probable that the latter will
prepare his opinion In a few days and sent ]
"t to his Wyoming colleague , whose con.
currence Is said to be assured.
The decision yesterday was precipitated
during the hearing of motions , when John L.
A'ebster , attorney for Receiver Clarkeon ot
he American Water Works company of Illi
nois , made application to filean answer In
Ii3 foreclosure case , In which the American
iVater Works company of New Jersey was
defendant. The application was denied , ana
he Judge then expressed some Judicial senti
ment , which authorizes an order of sale ot
he Omaha water works system.
The foreclosure Is for $3,800.000 In bonds
held by the Farmers Loan and Trust company
of New York , acting as trustees. The $400.-
000 underlying lunda are not In controversy.
There Is every probability that John L.
Webster , attorney for the defendants , which
Includes the Vcnner faction , will appeal the
case and carry It to the highest federal
tribunal , If the decree now In course of prep
aration Is distasteful to the defendant. Mr.
Webster Is authority for this statement and
li Is also the sentiment expressed by C. H.
Venner of Boston while In Omaha recently.
The fight has been bitterly waged for years ,
The story behind the caco Is an Interesting
one.
COMPLEX LITIGATION.
The present capitalization ot stock of the
American Water Works company of New
Jersey consists of $400,000 In original clt >
water works bonds , $3,600,000 In underlying
bond ? , $3,000.000 In common stock and $1,000-
000 In preferred stock , making a total ol
$10,000,000. The capitalization bf the Amerl
can Water Works company of Illinois at tin
time of the consolidation In 18111 was $6,000-
000 In stock and $400,000 In tends. Th' :
stock was transferred In the deal and manj
"New Jersey" bondholders secured "Illinois'
stock. A cash consideration exclusive o
transfer of stock also figure ! In the deal. Tin
toUl capitalization ot the Omaha and Denvei
plants on the date of consolidation was $13 ,
000,000 , of which the Omaha property wai
rated at-$10.000.000. The 'bondholders ' of tin
Omaha system are mostly In Niw York , Nev
Jersey , Scotland , Germany , Switzerland am
elsewhere. Mr. Venner has secured most o
the slock.
Owing to the litigation growing out of tin
attempt to consolidate thp Omaha propcrt ;
with the Denver Water Works' ' company thi
Omaha plant was placed In Ahe hands o
receivers In February , 1892 , and It becam
necessary to use some portion of the earn
Ings for construction , thus requiring tin
Issuance of coupons. The constant growtl
of the property made It evident that soim
provision should bo made for the capltalba
tlon of construction expenditures , so tha
such outlay would not have to be paid fron
Income , thus all jw Ing the earnings to bi
used for payment of coupons. In June , 1893
efforts were made for n friendly rcorganlza
tlon on a basis equitable to all Interests. /
committee was formed with Mr. Thallmai
as chairman.
But In a short tlmo Mr. Venner of thi
original bondholders crossed swords with tin
committee. Harmony seemed to be Impos
slble In this Instance , like preceding ones
Mr. Venner Is the head of what Is knowi
as the Venner faction , which recently se
cured control of the Denver plant after i
bewildering amount of litigation , in which h
had many up and downs. Mr. Venne
stopped at Omaha on his return east afte
achieving that victory In January and toh
The Bee at that time that he would eventu
ally win back the Omaha plant In the sain
manner and that It would be to the interest
ot Omaha to have the local plant out of tli
hands of the New Jersey company. Upoi
his return to Boston he sent out confidentla
circulars to the bondholders of the Omaha sys
tern of the American Water Works company
the significance of this "literary" move belni
that he did so over the heads of the re
organization committee. In April , 1S9E
Judge Hlner at Lincoln , made a decision re
storing the ownership of the plant to th
American Water Works company of Illinois
but not Interfering with foreclosure.
CONTESTS OF FACTIONS.
There has always be n more or less con
tentlon among rival factions in the watc
works company , the Omaha plant being th
plant at Make.
In 1891 C. H. Venner and W. A. Under
wood , at the head o * a corporation organize
In the east and known as the America !
Water Works company of New Jersey , con
celved the Idea of creating a great trust b ;
buying out the local water works companle
In a number of western cities. With till
Idea In view the company purchased th
water works plant In this city , which a
that time was the property of the America :
Water Works company of Illinois.
The negotiations were continued and over
tures made to the owners ot the plants 1
Denver , Kansas City , St. Louis and St. Paul
These all fell through , with the exceptlo
of the deal to purcimeo the Denver planl
In time this purchase was made , and the tw
plants , the one In this city and the one a
Denver , consolidated under the name of th
American Water Works company ot Nei
Jersey. The bonds of this company wer
placed on the market , but they were wlthou
purchasers , as legal complications concernln
the issue arose. 1 > '
In February , 1892 , the bondholders ot th
original company commenced foreclosure prc
ceedlngs , and both , the Denver and th
Omaha plants went Into the hands ot receiv
ers , the showing being made at that time
that the Denver property was not worth the
amount ot the bonds that were against It.
As both properties were then In control ot the
same company , the Omaha properly followed
the same course and became the subject of
litigation In the courts' . The case was ar
gued tome months ago and everything went
to show that the Omaha property was In good
condition financially If allowed to stand upon
Its own bottom , The stockholders ot the
Illinois company made their claim , demanding
the return of the property , alleging that the
New Jersey company had failed to live up to
the terms of Its contract ,
HAS HAD LOTS OF THEM.
The Omaha plant has been In the hands ot
receivers upon three different occasions.
Messrs. Ellis L. Illcrbowcr and Alonzo I ) ,
lunt were appointed originally on February
3 , 1892 , upon application of the Denver City
iVoter Works company , or Sullivan faction.
This was caused by a big split In the board
ot directors , which consisted of nine , Includ-
ng the president. Five were necessary for a
quorum. During a big row at one of the
neettngs President Underwood resigned a
ilfi.OOO per yesr position , anticipating prompt
e-electlon to the presidency. But the
joard of directors fooled Mr. Underwood ,
'our of the directors were Venner men.
The other four were loyal to the Sullivan
'action. The repeated efforts to hold a
neeting of the boa'd 'ailed as a quorum could
lot be obtained , owing to the fact that four
of the directors formed a combination to
rcfuEo to attend the meetings. Without a
president and without a quorum It was Im-
lofslble to t'ansact business. The Denver
'action ' immediately applied for a receiver
ship , and Messrs. Blerbower and Hunt took
possession of the plant as Judge Dundy's ap-
lolnteos and operated It from February to
Dctober 18 , 1892 , when they wore succeeded
by E. Hyde Rust of New Jersey.
Mr. Ilust was originally appointed re
ceiver by the New Jersey courts In July ,
1S92 , but found the Omaha plant In posses
sion of local receivers on an order of the
Nebraska court. Mr. Rust then went to
St. Paul and secured an order from Judge
Jaldwell which ousted the local receivers ,
Illerbowcr and Hunt , on October 18 , 1892.
Rust sought to act as Joint receiver of the
properties of the New Jersey company at
Omaha and Denver , but found that the Den
ver plant was also In the hands of a local
receiver , Dennis Sullivan.
VENNER AFTER RUST.
Then followed the Rust regime , with Ven
ner of Boston on the trull of the New Jency
receiver , and Mr. Venner was out with a
club of generous dimensions fighting Mr.
Rust and all his old combatants. In July ,
1893 , Mr. Rust was removed by order of
Judge Dundy. Alonzo B. Hunt was ap
pointed to succeed him and served
from July to October 1803 ,
when the Farmers Loan and Trust company
Jumped Into the arena and made application
as trustees of the bondholders for the ap
pointment of new receivers. Judge Dundy
thru appointed E. L. Blerbower and Alonzo
B. Hunt , who are now In possession of the
plant and whoso term of office Is Indefinite
until the order of sale Is made and the ques
tion of a stay ot proceedings is fully deter
mined. E. Hyde Rust also has a stack ot
legal literature prepared by Attorney Charlc *
Offutt on the federal docket. The New Jer
sey receiver filed a petition to have the fed
eral court for this district ratify his accounts
as allowed by the New Jersey cl anrcry courts
Judge Dundy detailed Special Master Bodlne
to Investigate the claims and examine the
books during Rust's administration and the
special master's report disclosed many In
teresting things , culminating with a rocom-
mendatlcn that over $5.000 of the Rust ac
counts , etc. , bo disallowed. The report of the
special master has not as yet been fullj
passed upon by Judge Dundy , but the lattci
recently threw out Rust's application for a
cross bill In the foreclosure casa.
The air Is now filled with talk about mu
nicipal ownership of the water works plani
and there Is a rumor prevalent that an at >
tempt will be made to urge the city to buy It
It Is positively stated that the plant wll
bo bought In at the sale by eastern capita
and that Improvements aggregating ovei
$1,000,000 will be put In when once the be
wllderlng litigation Is settled. In event o
appeal matters In thlf respect will doubtlesi
remain at a standstill until the court of las
resort passes upon the question. In tin
meantime Receivers Blerbiwer and Hunt wll
lo business at the same old stand.
