Trouble has been brewing for several weeks
mong the stockholders In the Lake Manawa
lallway company , and It culminated In the.
ommcncemcnt of a suit In the district court
ytsterday , In which J. C. Shaffer appears as
> : nlntfT ! and F. C. Reed and Emmet Tlntey
s defendants. Shaffer wants a receiver ap-
lolnted , and makes any number of allegation :
n support of Ills demand ,
Shaffer bought the stock of S. P. MacConnell
when the latter left the company about a
year ago. According to the petition the com-
mny's stock Is now held as follows : F. C.
Iced , 817 shares of $100 each ; Emmet Tlnley ,
101 shares ; J. C. Shaffer , 80 shares. Total
capital stock , $100,000 , divided Into shares of
ilOO each. Shaffer alleges that Colonel Reed
ias taken possession of all t'lio property , to
.ho exclusion of the other stockholders , and
ma been operating It to his own personal ag
grandizement , with the connivance of the
defendant Tlnley. He has never made a
report of the business done , and a board of
directors has never been appointed. Reed has
ncurred large Indebtedness for the company ,
KivliiK Issued bonds In the sum of $40.000 , se
cured by a trust deed on all the company's
property.
The petition -further alleges that under
Heed's management the company has done
business totally without authority , providing
games and entertainments , operating boats ,
running a bar and restaurant and cutting lci
The proceeds from these sldo Issues are con"
verted to hits own use , and the company has
nt-ver paid a dividend. Unless this Is stopped
tha plaintiff claims that the company will
be rendered bankrupt.
The ho'dlng of the annual meeting was the
occasion for the trouble that had been smoul
dering for so long to break out Into a flame.
No annual meeting was held , as It should
have been , In January , 1S95 , and at the re
quest of Shaffer the secretary called a meefT
Ing for July 18. Emmet Tlnley and W. F.
Sapp responded to the announcement , and S.
P. MacConnell represented Shaffer as attor
ney In fact. Reed absented himself from the
meeting until more than an hour after the
time specified In the announcement , and then ,
by virtue of his having a contro'llng Interest
In the stcck , litul MacConnell excluded from
the meeting. Five directors were then ecct- !
ed , and the meeting then adjourned until the
following Monday , when Reed's report was to
bo heard.
Last Monday the meeting reconvened , bu
Immediately after the minutes were rcat
Reed adjourned until August 5.
The giving of theatrical entertainments and
games , the operation of a line of boats , a
bar , a restaurant and all the other side at
tractions at Manawa , Shaffer says , are al"
without authority of the articles of Incor
poration under wlilch the company was or
ganized , and will bankrupt It , because , as the
petition alleges , Reed pockets all the earn
ings. Reed's actions , the petition further
says , have been done with the avowed In
tuition on the part of Reed and Tlnley to
run the value of Shaffer's stock clown below
par so as to compel him to sell at a tils
count. A receiver Is demanded , and an In
Junction to restrain Reed from operating the
road. The case Is set for hearing by Judg ?
Smith for August 13.
When asked what hs had to say about the
suit last evening. Colonel Heed stated that
the allegations of the petition were all false ,
with the exception of that with refernca to
the distribution of the stock. "The rail
road , " said he further , "Is on a better paying
basis now than It ever was. The hands are
better paid , the cars are better and there
are more of them , and the train service has
never been better. The beginning of the
suit Is merely part of the scheme of these
men to compel me to buy stock which I don't
want and don't need and don't propose , to
buy. " _

Oiimliu Want I.CKII ! Relief.
Another suit was commenced In the district
court against John W. Paul yesterday by
Edward W. Nash and Guy C. Barton , the
two Omaha capitalists who , until within the
last few weeks , have been his financial back-
ers. Before August 26 , 1890 , the petition
sets forth , the plaintiffs advanced large sums
of money with which to buy real estate , with
the understanding that Paul was to furnish
one-third of the total amount of money ex
pended and to act as trustee , all deeds being
made out In his name , and to give quit claim
deeds at any time to the other two members
of the partnership.
A couple of weeks ago the plaintiffs pre
sented Paul with quit claim deeds to all of
the property Involved and asked him to sign
them , granting them their two-thirds Inter
est In the property. Paul refused to sign
them. In violation of his contract they al
lege that he failed to have three mortgages
cancelled on certain of the lots , these mort
gages amounting In the aggregate to $2,075.
They demand that Paul be ordered by the
court to execute quit claim deeds am } to
have the mortgages cancelled. A. D. Annls
Is made co-defendant , because not long ago
he brought a suit against Paul and attached
a portion of the property In question.
Appended to the petition Is a copy of the
contract between the plaintiffs and defend
ant which shows that 540 town lots were
Involved , located In Barton's addition , Paul's
Place and Charlton's addition.

tnows but little of his relatives , as ho left
iiome when a small boy and came north , and
learned his trade of making split-wood
baskets and knitting seines. After spending
about four years on the sea , doing coast
trade work , lie purchased , In 1844 , the piece
of ground on which he now lives. Twlgg'e
liearlng Is keen and his eyesight especially
good. The old man takes pride In exhibiting
Ills fancy baskets. He has been a user ol
tobacco for years and Is opposed to the use
of liquor. He says he would like to live IOC
years more.
Frederick Polk , colored , lives aboul one
mile from BrldgevllU , Del. , and says he Is
105 year old. He was a slave of Ihe Polks
from whom he gel his nam . History reports
the Polks as settling there about 1740. The

Governor Morrlll'H Opinion ol tin
KniiHiiM Experiment.
Apropos of liquor legislation , It Is Interest
Ing to note , writes a minister In the Globe
Democrat , that Governor Morrlll of Kansa
has publicly stated In a recent speech tha
tbe prohibitory law nf the state cannot b
enforced In localities where tbe public fen
tlment of the people Is against It. Tha
puts the matter In a nutshell. It Is tru
of Maine and New Hampshire and Iowa
and of every state that has attempted pro
hlbltlon. And It Is the best possible argu
ment for a rational local option law. Wbci :
you talk to an honest and well Informei
prohibitionist he will admit thai the systen
works badly In large towns and elites , bu
he Insists that In rural districts It Is a sue
cess. Admit the statement. It Is the m os
powerful argument against constitution
prohibition. Because It is in the cities tha
the problem Is most complex and need
careful and thoughtful solution. A genera *
prohibitory law leaves the drink questto
In cities without any solution at all. I
Is unlawful for municipalities to attemp
any regulation or prevision of the drln :
habit. They ore confronted with a rlgl
law , which they know Is dally and flagrant !
violated , and yet they are helpless. If the
honestly attempt enforcement , they turn tb
drug stores Into saloons , and create prlvat
drinking clubs where men and boys ar
ruined by secret drinking. This Is true c
Portland , Bangor , Des Molnes , Topeka , ever
place where prohibitory laws offer but on
method of dealing with drunkenness , I
Is discouraging to find that good people can
not < ee that a theory which has been teste
for nearly half a century always falls at tb
very point where It Is called to bear tb
greatest stress.

Pool Selling \ot Ka
DES MOINES , July 25. ( Special Tele
gram. ) A decision was rendered today
against the city In the Baltzer pool selling
case. The matter will not bo puslied fur
ther at this time. The attorneys for the
defense denmrred on the ground that the In
formation OP which the warrant for Baltzer's
arrest was Issued was defective In falling to
contain grounds sufficient upon which to base
and maintain an action. The court sustained
the demurrer and quashed the case. The
warrant charged Baltzer with "gambling ,
towlt : Selling pools on the races , at races ,
etc. " The claim was set up In the demurrer
that pool selling Is not chargeable as gam
bling under the statutes of Iowa ; that In
naming pool selling as the mode of gambling
alleged there Is no ground of action , and that
the kind of pools sold could not be construed
as gambling , anyway. This latter claim Is
given some credence by the counsel for the
state , as all the witnesses state that Baltzer
acted as a stakeholder more than anything
else , the pools sold being parls mutuals , on
which he got 10 per cent commission for
making the talk , holding the money put up ,
and dividing It after the ra'ce.

SIOUX CITY , July 25. ( Special Telegram. )
District Judge Gaynor , today decided that
a state law of 1862 making personal Injury
judgments prior to mortgages upon railroad
property does not apply to street railroads.
The question came up In the case of Louis
Ladson against the Riverside Park Street
Railway company. Larson had a personal
injury judgmenl for $8,000 and wanted it
made prior to the claims of the bondholders
underbills law. The point has always been
a matter of dispute In the state and will
probably be taken to the supreme court as
a test.
