The answer of the Councli Bluffs Water I
\Vorka company in the suit brought in the
dIstrict court hero by the Farmers' Loan
and Trust company of New York to foreclose -
close first mortgage and for the appointment -
ment of a receiver was flied yesterday.
Two separate answers are flied , one to
the petition for the appointment of a re-
celver anti tbo second to the petition for
an ottier for tue lirodtiction of iOokS and
papers belonging to the company froni its
organization to the date of the salt. The
answer to the Petition for the appointment
I of it receiver is brief and simply recites tue
I fact that tite defeutiant company denies cacti
nod every allegation of the plaintiff.
The answer to the petition for nit order
for the productIon of the company's books
does not go Into very lengthy details , anti
after setting forth that the defendant com-
Pliny denies each and every allegation in the
plaintiff's petition "except such as are here.
itiafter expressly atItnIttetl. ' or to some
other Inannor controverteti sets up the fact
that the right of the plaintiff to the appointment -
pointment of a receiver to take possession
of the defendatit's property ahd to the foreclosure -
closure of the mortgage giveti to secure the
bonds executed by the defendant is contested -
tested , Such being the case , It Is alleged
that the books anti papers are not necessary
as competent evidence as a part of the
Idaintlff's case for the appointment of a
, . receiver ; also that the plaintiff is not entitled -
titled to said hooks and papers at this time
and at this stage of the proieedings hereIn.
