Another batch of trouble was fixed up for the United States Masonic Benevolent as sociation and Its oinccrs jcstcrday , by the filing of two suits In the district court asking damages against the association and making charges against thc niccrs and man agers George J. Crane , a former emploje of th" association , applied for n receiver for the association some time ago and made all kinds of charges. The hearing came up and lasted for two weeks. As a result the court denied the application for the receiver. During the hearing It developed that the association had been having a pretty hard tlmo to weather the financial storm , but that the present ofllcers and managers were using every effort to get the association on a sound basis and had the encouragement of the state Insurance department , which had approved their plans. Much of the evidence concerning the affairs of the com pany which was brought out during the Crane case has been worked Into a petition which was filed against the oinccrs of the association jestcrday by George W , Hewitt , a former policy holder. Mr. Hewitt's case Is brought against F II. Brown , John n. Richardson and Thomas B Lacey , directors of the association The petition fills about fifty pages of typewritten manuscript and presents an endless array of flguics nnd exhibits , most of which were taken from the show Ing made In the Crane case. The petitioner asserts that In 1SS9 at the solicitation of George J. Crane , he took two policies In the United States Be nevolent association , one. for $2,500 In class A and a like amount In class B He sajs that Crane painted the plan of the ntsocia- tlon In glo\vlng colors and showed htm how the assessments would alwajs be about the same1 , owing to the guaranty fund. Thu de fendants , who \vtro officers of the associa tion , the petitioner alleges , have so mis managed the alTnlrs of the Institution that most of the guaranty fund Is now In the shape of sheriff's ) deeds and the balance In a fair way to be wasted. He charges th"t a loan of $20,000 was made by the company to one of Us officers on lands that were not adequate security and that the books of the association were so kept that even the offi cers cannot give any accurate or definite statement of the condition of the company's affairs COMMITTHR MISINFORMED. Mr. Hewitt dwells at some length upon the meeting of the certificate holders of the association , held in 1S95 , at which a ( ommltteo was appointed to examine the books and accounts of the concern He alleges that the committee received eva sive and garbled statements of the affairs of the association and that a list of members - bers wag refuted for fear that those op posed to the management of the association night get the votes to order a change He alleges gross and corrupt misman agement of the affairs of the company , nlsapproprlatlon of the funds and says that .ho money now in the association bids faire o be absorbed by the managers and their [ lummles. The petitioner assetts that ho allowed Ills certificate to lapse In October , 1S33 , because of the increased and unreasonable assessments. Ho thinks he has paid In about $600. He asks for an accounting and judgment against the defendants for $2,000 damages. The second suit was brought by W. J. Jamleson against the United States Masonic Benevolent association , F. H. Brown and J. E. Richardson. Mr. Jamleson alleges that ho was secretary of the association for several jcars , but resigned May 1 , 1895 , owing to friction between himself and other ofllcers. Ho resigned with a written agree ment that the association should pay him his salary for the rest of the jear , $1,100. He alleges that a contract to this effect was made and that the other officers of the association agreed to pay the amount from their salaries. This they have re fused to do He ahks Judgment against P. II. Brown and J E. Richardson for their share of the amount , $2G4 each , and for judgment against the association foi $1,150 , tl'e amount duo from the other officers of the association.

Balrd , as assignee and attorney for a number of property owners , has com menced suit In the superior court , asking a refund by the Omaha and Council Bluffs Bridge and Motor company of the money paid by the plaintiffs as taxes under the bonus voted by the city to the motor com pany In 1SSG. The petition recites the organization o the Iowa and the Nebraska companies In 1830. the voting of a 12 mill tax on all the real estate In Council Bluffs to aid in the construction of the road and bildgc. The petition then asserts that an attempt was made by the Iowa corporation to transfer Its rights , franchises and the tax voted by the city of Council Bluffs to the Ne braska corporation ; that the Nebraska cor poration built the bridge and road and that the money -voted by the city of Council Bluffs waa wiongfully used by the Ne braska corporation ; that the tax was void : because It was voted to an Iowa corpora tion and placed In the hands of the Ne braska corporation. The amount paid by the taxpayers of Council Bluffs was $53- US778. Mr. Balrd has the assignments of ' the claims of J B Hood , C. F. Maxwell , M II Italia , S T Walker , John A. Akers and E W.

The proposition brought a counter one from Wlckham , who personally obligated himself to the propoitj owners to do the work at Hughes' figure While he was giving this assurance to the property owners the council awarded him the contract nt $1 38. The tabulation of the sewer bids for the construction of the sewer on the same street showed that Wlckham's bid for the entire Job was $2,5'ii ( CO 111 certificates , J. J.
