CONTENTION OF SEVERAL INTERVENORS TriiNlrCH of the llnlliiril 1101119 for A it cil "XVonii-n TnUc R lliinil 111 tlie Ulntrlct Court to Pro tect Tltrlr Title. Joseph U. Reed , Thomas Officer nnd J. D. I Edmundflon , as trustees for the Ballard j , Home for Aged nnd Indigent Women , yes- ! lerday filed a petition of Intervention In the district court In the suit of Lulu Kan- hall and other heirs of the late Mrs. Sarah J. I Bollard , against the Woman's Christian As sociation , wherein the plaintiffs seek to set aside a trust deed by which Mrs. Ballanl conveyed to W. 11. M. Puccy for the benefit of the Woman's Christian association cer tain property In this city , and a deed exo- utited by Mr. Pusey to the association after Mrs. Ballard's death. The peltlon recites that the Ballard Homo for Aged and Indigent Women wns Incorporated - porated August 10 , 1888 , nnd the articles wore recorded In this county September 1 , 1891 ; that on August 24 , 1888 , Mrs. Ballard deeded In trust to the Intervcnors property on First avenue In Baylies' first addition for the benefit of such homo , providing that It should bo used for no other purpose. In this deed , a copy of which Is filed with the petition of Intervention , It Is provided that the trustees shall convoy the property within five years from the date of the deed to the Ballard home , but permitting them in their discretion to sell the east fifty feet of that property , and to use the proceeds for the benefit of the Institution. The deed prohibits the use of the property , with this exception , 'for ' any other use than that named for a period of twenty years after Mrs. Ballard's death. It also declares that a failure to establish or maintain such homo for a period of three years continuously after the delivery of the property ehall for feit the conveyance. A second deed , executed May 25 , 1S94 , con veyed property In Beers' subdivision and Everett's addition , in this city , to the same trustees and for the same purposes as named lu the first deed. And on the same date a third Instrument was executed , slightly al tering the conditions of the trust. Tnls Is the same property convoyed by Mrs. Ballard In December , 1897 , to Mr. Pusey as trustee for the Woman's Christian association and after her death In January last deeded by him to tbo association , and now hold by It. The petition of Intervention makes both the Ballard heirs and Woman's Christian association defendants , but does not directly attack the title of the lattor. The Intcr- venors say that the heirs have no interest , right , title , claim to or demand upon the property In question as against the Interveners - venors , but that the title of the interveners is valid and effectual as against tbo claims of the heirs. The petition of Intervention declares , however , that the fee title to the property la In the Interveners and that their interests arc paramount and superior to those of the heirs and the Woman's Chris tian association. , The Interveners ask a decree establishing their title ns trustees as against the plain tiffs , and If the court shall , after a full hearing , determine the deeds from Mrs. Bal lard to Mr. Pusey , as trustee , ana Irom Mr. Pusey to the Woman's Christian associa tion , null and void , that In that event a de cree be given establishing the fee title to the property in dispute in the Intervenors. The fact that Mrs. Ballnrd had at any time deeded her property for the benefit of a home for aged and indigent was not gen erally known , although she had often ex pressed the desire to establish such an In stitution and had frequently told her friends that would bo the use to which she would like her residence property on First avenue put. At the time she conveyed this and other property to Mr. Pusoy In trust for the Woman's Christian association It was stated by Mr. Pusey that Mre. Ballard had abandoned the Idea of establishing 9 home for aged women , as she found that her means were Insufficient to endow It in a manner RUfllclcnt to properly maintain it. At that time no mention was made that she had previously conveyed the property In'trust for such n home. Lulu Randall and the other heirs "of the late Mrs. Sarah J. Ballara , who had filed objections to the report or N. M. Pusey as executor of the estate of tne late Dr. Samuel M. Ballnrd , filed an amended petition In the district court yesterday , setting forth , as re quired by the court , more specifically their grounds for objecting. As to their com plaint concerning the renting of the Marno farm , containing 700 acres , ihoy allege that It was on March 1 , 1895 , leased by Executor Pusey for a term of five years at an annual rental of $1,150 , whereas they assort the true "rental would too $2,400. They further allege that at the time of Dr. Samuel Bal lard's death there was a largo amount of government bonds nnd money In the hands of W. M. Pusoy and the banking firm of Olllcer & Pusey , which they allege Executor I'UBcy has BO far failed to account for. They therefore * nsk that ho bo ordered by the court to appear for examination us to what disposition he has made of the money. Beyond - yond these two counts the mnendud petition fulls to make any specific charges as wcro contained In the original petition. The W. II. C. Calico Carnival tonight , i.Miirch 21 , at G.

Farnham nnd John Wilson for the robbery of the postotllco at Gray , la. , on the night of November 29 last was completed In the federal court yesterday morning. The Jury , after being out less than fifteen minutes , brought In a verdict of guilty against both defendants , Sentence was deferred until Saturday , as the attor ney for the defendants filed a motion to have the verdict sot aside. Karl Harbertz , who pleaded guilty to breaking Into a private letter box at the postolllco hero and stealing mall belonging to David Bradley & Co.was sentenced by Judge Munger to ono year and one day In the penitentiary at Anumosa.

The charges of bootlegging were dismissed against Henry Arklry of Hamburg , Charles Wor- nom of Atlantic , and the case ot C. U. Shot- don , charged with the same offense , was transferred to Dos Molnes for trial. Frank Clark of Hollyvlllo , who had pleaded guilty to 'bootlegging , was unable to appear In court for sentence , ns he was suffering from measles In the county Jail.

Fair of Council Bluffs , Eachary T. Flndley of Oakland and James 0. Duncan of Hant cock.
