Attorney John Llndt , after nearly two
years of litigation , secured possession yes
terday of the two-story and basement brick
building at lOlfi West Uroadvvay , erected
by the Schlltz Urcvvlng company at a cost
of about JO,000. Possession , however , was
not secured by the astute attorney without
opposition nnd the doors of the building
had to bo forced by the constable and his
assistants , who were armed with a writ of
ouster Issued from the court of Justice
Vlon.
Immediately following the decision of the
supreme court In the case brought by Llndt
against August Ulhlcln and tha Schlltz
Brewing company , which decision gave Ltndt
the property , formerly owned by Mrs. Anna
Pralor , and the Improvements on It , Llndt
brought a forcible entry and detalnei action
against the brewing company nnd Us ten
ants , Filter fc. Llndor. While the suit was
in progress , the defendants applied to Judge
Smith In the district court and secured a
temporary writ of Injunction , restraining
Llndt and Justice Vlen from continuing th *
proceedings until the supreme court should
have passed upon the application of the
brewing company for a rehearing of the
case This Injunction was dissolved by
Judge Smith late Monday afternoon nnd
yesterday Justice Vlen Issued a writ of
ouster , directed against Llnder & Filter
and the Schlltz Brewing company. As pub
lished last Saturday , the heirs of Mrs
Pralor commenced a suit In the United
States circuit court of this district to have
the deed from Mrs. Pralor to Attorney
Llndt's wtfo sot Rnldp. The heirs set up
the allegation that Mrs. Pralor's mark was
secured to the deed nt a time when she was
almost at death's door nnd utterly Incapable
of realizing the Import of her action.
When Attorney Llndt and Constable Balrd
and the lattor's assistants reached the build
ing yesterday afternoon with the w-rlt of
ouster , they found the doors to ihe saloon
securely barred and admission was refused
them.

A llttlo matter llko this , however , did
not deter them. Securing a strong plank
of wood , they used It aa a battering ram
on the front door , and In a few minutes one
of the panels of the door gave way. A
few minutes later the casing succumbed ,
and the Invading party were Inside. Here
they found Attorney Stlllman , who Informed
Llndt that ho was In possession of the
building In the name of the heirs of Mrs
Pralor. "Don't care in whose name you
nre , " said Llndt. "Out of this you go , and
If you don't go quietly , the constable will
put you out. " Stlllman declined to move
nnd Constable Balrd was forced to remove
him.
him.Then
Then Llnder & Filter gav x up ine ngni ,
saying they had had enough of It so far as
they wrro concerned , and that the Schlltz
Brewing company would have to do the
rest If It wanted to continue the litiga
tion. With the assistance of a number of
helpers they commenced to move their stock
from the saloon and bottling room , but be
fore they completed the Job an arrange
ment was reached by which they leased the
back room from Llndt In which to store
their goods. By this lease they practically
acknowledge Llndt as the owner of ttie
building.
The upstairs part of the building hoe been
occupied for several months past by the
dining car porters running on the North
western road. Several of them were in bed
nt the time Llndt took possession , but they
I'ad to got up and dress and leave the buildIng -
Ing , taking their possessions with them
This makes the second time that Lindt
has secuied possession of the property since
the litigation was commenced. In 1897 ,
when the district court affirmed his title , ho
took possession under the decree of the
court , but n few days later Llndor & Filter ,
the proprietors of the saloon , broke In and
secured nn Injunction restraining Llndt from
Interfering with them until the matter was
disposed of by the supreme court. It was
stated yesterday tliat the attorneys for the
Pralor heirs , In addition to the suit In the
federal couit , would bring nn action against
Llndt for damagi * for turning them , out of
the building without due process of law
The heirs claim that they were In posses
sion of the building , and that the writ of
ouster directed against Llndor & Filter did
not apply to them The breaking In of the
door by tlio constable nnd his aids attracted
a largo and curious crowd to the scone , nnd
the officers were made the butts of consider
able good-natured Joking.

DBS MOINES , June 20. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The first action brought In this city
under the now code section requiring scats
for shop glrfs commenced by the Humane
society In Justice Alesworth's court today.
J. B. Ackcrman , manager ot n 10-cent store ,
Is the defendant , and IB charged by the so
ciety with neglecting to provide suitable
scats for tlio use at female employes In his
retail storp. TUio section makes this an
offense against public health and reads as
follows :
"All employers of females In any mercan
tile or manufacturing 'business ' or occupa
tion shall provide and maintain suitable
scats when practicable for the use of such
female employes nt or bcsldo the counter
or workbench where ctnplovcd , and permit
the UBO thereof by such employes to such
extent as the work engaged In may reason
ably admit of. Any neglect or refusal to

by any cmplovor shall be punishable by a
fine not exceeding $10. "
It Is claimed by the officers of the Humane
society that the health of the girls Is greatly
endangered and that their lives are made
miserable by being compelled to stand upon

which would bo a great relief.
Dr. Kennedy of the State Board of Health
received a telegram this morning stating
that three cases of smallpox had been dls-
covered In Paris township , Howard county.
The source of exposure conms from Cresco ,
the county seat of Howard. A number of
cases were reported from Cresco sometime
ap The usual careful precautions were
taken. Everybody was vaccinated , the
schools were closed and a strict quarantine
enforced nnd it was thought the spread of
the disease had been entirely cut oft. Dr.
Schrnedor , one of the members of the State
Board of Health , was called to Cresco nt
the tlmo nnd assisted in handling the cases.
( The patients have all recovered , but the dis
ease has spread into tlio country districts
nnd has claimed three victims In Paris
township. The farmers of the adjoining
townships are wild with fright , but Dr. Ken-
nedy says the cases have been reported as
In a mild form and that every precaution
will bo taken to prevent the spreading of
the disease. The population of the entire
township will be vaccinated , All travel will
bo stopped , no one will bo allowed upon the
highways and the strictest of quarantine
rules have been established.
Crop Conilltlonn Poor.
Crop conditions are poor. The weekly
bulletin of the Iowa weather crop outlook
today says :
The average temperature of the last week
was about normal. Very heavy showers on
the 12th and 13th brought a great excess of
rainfall on the western slope and over the
greater portion of the northern half of the
state. Following are some of the heavier
amounts reported ; Harrison county , 6.55
Inchee ; Carroll , 4.20 ; Crawford , 3.73 ; Adalr ,
3.10 ; Mills , 2.74 ; Monona , 2.73 ; Palo Alto ,
2.88 ; Buena Vista , 2.65 ; Webster , 2.56 ;
Black Hawk , 4.48 ; Bremer , 4.13 ; Wright ,
4.GO ; Humboldt , 404 ; Franklin , 3 06 ; Wln-
nebago , 3.10 ; Floyd , 2.64 ; Howard , 2.26 ; Wln-
neshlek , 2.21.
Considerable damage by floods and soil
erosion resulted from these showers and
needed work of cleaning the cornfields was
delayed. On the 17th considerable damage
was caused by local hall and windstorms In
some of the counties In the central nnd
northern districts. Despite these diawbacks ,
fair progress has been made In cultivating
the cornfields and In finishing planting In the
southern section. The condition of corn Is
very uneven and the output uncertain , but
with favorable conditions tn the future It
Is possible to bring the crop up to nearly
an nverago In the larger part of the state.
Reports from nearly nil seel Ions confirm
previous advices ns to the rank growth of
spring wheat , oats and barley and the dan
ger of loss by lodging. Grass , potatoen ,
garden and small finlt have been favored
by the abundant moisture.
The mayor nnd city council today receive
a letter from Albert E. Boone of Zancs-
vllle , O , promoter of the Black Diamond
s > stem of railroads , saying that the road
will enter and cross Iowa on Its way from
Port Royal. S. C. , Knoxvllle , Tenn. , Vln-
connes , Ind. , to the Red Ulvor valley of
the north , proceeding along the same to the
Canadian line , making 1,844 miles of main
lino. The letter adds : "Wo cannot touch
Dr Molnes with the main line , but are
willing to give your city n belt line at least
forty miles In circumference and connect
the same with the main line on the east
and the Omaha cut-on on the west. A free
right-of-way and liberal subsidies will give
your city a great freight trunk line to the
Atlantic , "

Pure Witter nnil MI1U.
CHICAGO , Juno 20. The question of the
Chicago water supply occupied most of the
tlmo of the upeclnl executive meeting of the
Glntc Board of Health held hero today.
Dr. J. A. Da gnu , secretary of the board ,
submitted n plan for establishing a number
of stations on the Des Plalnes , Illinois and
Mississippi rivers , from which samples ot
water shall bo taken nnd analyzed at reg
ular Intervals , The lefts will bo continued
after the drainage canal hn been opened
to ascertain what difference will bo made

The Infection of dairy herds of the state
with tubcrculools was thoroughly discussed.
Under the opinion rendered by the attorney
general of the state tbo members of the
board are prohibited .from making tests for
tuberculools unless they hnvo reason to beHave -
Have it exists. A resolution was adopted
asking the legislature to give the Board of
Live Stock CommlMlonerB authority to make
tests In the dairy herds of the state and
that nn appropriation commensurate with
the duties thus nddcd to the members of
the commission be made. The total sum of
$100,000 is asked for this work.

ture to appropriate a fund adequate to the
needs of the Board of Live Stock Commis
sioners , this sum to be probably $50,000 the
first year , $30,000 the second nnd $20,000 the
third ycnr. The board will also urge that
the commission bo authorized to administer
the tubercullne cure to all the cattle In the
etatq lf necessary , nnd that the committee
Institute a systematic examination of nil
cnttlo In the state , those cnttlo not proving
by the tubcrcullno test to bo free from
tuberculosis to be condemned and the own
ers compensated by the state at the scale
ot prices fixed by the Llvo Stock commis
sioners.
BERESFORD DEFENDS SLOAN
Not Altogether Illnmeleiui , hut II nil
Grent Provocation for
llln Act.
LONDON , Juno 20. The Evening News
today publishes nn interview with Lord
Boresford , who Is quoted an giving an ac
count of the Incident at Ascot , In corrobora-
tlon of the statements of Ted Sloan , the
American jockey , regarding the insults of
the waiter and the latter's intentional upsetting -
setting of the table. Lord Beresford added :
"At this Sloan and his companion wont
for the waiter , the latter hitting the waiter
In the face with his fist , while Sloan hit
him with a champagne bottle , which , however -
over , was not broken. Of course we in
England regard an attack with a bottle as
desptcablo and as bad as drawing a knife ,
but In Sloan's case there was , first , great
provocation. The waiter undoubtedly be
gan the quarrel. Secondly , the waiter
was a great- hulking chap , weighing 224
pounds , while Sloan Is n little man , Inca
pable of fighting him on equal terms. Sloan
was sober. Before vou Judge him too
harshly think of what he has gone through.
He was first made a popular lioro and lat
terly a strong tide of opposition has set In
against him , presumably because people
have lost money ,
"Certainly the Jockey club will not sus
pend his license. The case Is not within
Its jurisdiction. When he was previously
unfairly treated It did not Interfere , becaube
wo believe in letting him fight his own bat
tles and there is no doubt ho has had a
battle to fight. We have had anonymous
letters saying Sloan Is a dead man If he does
not leave England Immediately. The pub
lic ought to be Informed of the great provo
cation under which Sloan acted. "
The antl-Slonn demonstration which was
expected to take place at the Gatvvlck meetIng -
Ing today did not materialize. There was
some cheering when his mount won the
selling handicap.

THE HAOUE , Juno 20. The Geneva con
vention committee held a plenary session
today to consider the report of Its sub
committee. Captain .Malinn of the American
delegation ogalti drew attention to the ;
omission of an article defining the exact
status of wounded and shipwrecked men
falling into the sea durlnir a h.ittio nmi
picked up by neutrals or by hospital ships.
He also proposed three additional articles ,
which were referred to the drafting com
mittee. The Persian delegates. General
Mlrra Rlrza-Khan. who Is Persian minister
to Russia , moved to chaugo the icd cross
emblem to a white flag nlth a red sun.
The plenary conference met to adopt these
additional articles and appointed a com
mittee to draw up a general act embodylnp ;
the report of the Geneva convention sec
tion. This Is the first definite result of the
conference.
The American delegation considered that
some additions 'were necessary to cover some
omissions In the text. These additions \\lll
bo left for the powers tr consider , but
whether they nre adopted or not they do
not affect the ten articles passed today.
The Americans also made a formal demand
for the exemption of private property at
sea from capture In time of war. This ques
tion \\as not Included in the circular of
Count Muravleff and may possibly bo ruled
out of order. If , however , a discussion
should be allowed the exemption would prob- ( i
ably > bo supported by a majority , mainly
composed ot the smaller powers.
