Henceforth visitors to the Grand Plnzn
Lake Mannva , will have to be content will
satisfying their thirst with "soft" drinks
as In future the resort will , under the order :
of the court , have to bo conducted on thi
temperance plan. Judge Smith of the dls
trlct court yesterday granted Colonel F. C
Heed's application for n temporary injunc
tlon restraining . \V. Cole , the lessee , nm
Ilecclver Hannan of the Lake Manawa Hall
way company from selling or offering foi
sale or keeping with the Intent to sell in
toxlcatlng liquors In or upon any propcrt ;
of the Lake Manawa Hallway company oc
cupled by Cole under lease with Receive !
Hannan , dated May 29 , 189D. The ordei
applies In 7iartlculrf % to the resort knowt
as the Grand Plaza
Judge Smith's order reaches further nm
expressly provides that Receiver Hannnn ii
to refrain from allowing the use of thi
Grand Plaza or any other property of thi
Lake Manawa Ralhvay company as a placi
for the Kale of Intoxicating liquors or a. , '
a. place for keeping Intoxicating liquors will
Intent to sell.
The further hearing as to the appllcatloi
on the part of Colonel Reed for n caneello
tlon of the contract between Cole and Han-
nan Is set for the second day of the Angus
term of the district court.
As another result of the clash betvvecr
the civil and county authorities last Sun
day afternoon at the Grand Plaza Deputj
Sheriff Kirk has tendered his reslgnntlor
to Sheriff Morgan , pending an Investlgn
tlon of the charge that he ( Kirk ) had re
ceived n search warrant against the beei
garden at the Grand Plaza from the courl
of Justice Rlef of Lewis township , and hat
held It without executing It as a protectlor
against the proceedings which It was antici
pated would be Issued from Justice Vlen' ;
court. Kirk denies the charge and Insist !
ho served the warrant the moment he re
ceived It on Sunday. He says-thc stnt'emenl
that the warrant was handed to him losl
Saturday is incorrect.
It Is understood that the Grand Plaza ha ;
been n losing Investment for Lessee Colt
this summer and that he has made arrange
ments with Receiver Hannan to give up his
contract on September 3. Whether Hannat
will keep the resort open for the remalndci
of tbo season Is not known.
The property of the Lake Manawa Hall
way company is shortly to come under the
hammer , Judge Smith having granted the
application of Receiver Hannan for an ordei
for its sale. There was no opposition tc
the application and Judge Smith ordoied
that It bo sold In Its entirety either at pri
vate or public sale. If sold privately the
amount realized must equal the value sel
on it by the appraisers. The appraisers ap
pointed by the court are E. E. Mayne , P. H ,

SAIjARY CUT THE CAUSE OP PAIIV ,
Tenclier * Object to SnfTerliiK n Reduc
tion In I'nv.
The action of the Board of Education in
making a general reduction of the salaries
of the principals In the different schools ol
the city Is not meeting with popular favor.
The general feeling Is that the principals ,
whoso duties are manifold and arduous , were
not being paid any higher salaries than
they earned and that to reduce them was
poor policy on the part of the board.
Those of the principals seen yqsterdny
declined to discuss the matter beyond ex
pressing a hope that the board would re
scind Its action. Tbo salary list as fixed
by Chairman Stewart of the finance com
mittee Is already causing many heartburn-
Ings and the teachers who expected but
failed to receive Increases which they con
sidered they were entitled to are feeling
hurt. The fact that one" teacher In the
kindergarten department was given an In
crease of $10 while others in the same de
partment were only given $3 , although doing
the same work , Is pointed out as being a
case of favoritism.
The friends of tvvo of the teachers In the
High school who , under the rule of the
board , were entitled to a ralso of $5 , but
foiled to receive It , although President Sims
strongly urged It , nro complaining and ask
ing what Is the use of the board having
rules If they are not abided by.
The list as amended at the meeting Mon
day night shows that fifty-two teachers re
ceived increases , while fourteen , the ma
jority of whom are .principals of buildings ,
suffered reductions. The total Increase In
the salaries amounts to $327 per month ,
while the decreases amount to $10" , The
complete list of salaries of teachers and

SIOUX CITY , Aug. 22. ( Special. ) Th
property ot the Sioux City Terminal nn
Warehouse company was sold this mornln
to the Trust Company of North Amerlcf
trustee , for the sum of $1,250,000. The enl
other bidders were Mason , Lewis & Co
bankers and bond buvcrs of Chicago nn
Boston. This firm bid up to $1,245,000 nn
then stopped. The bidding for the trua
company was done by Its president , Edwin
Dlxon of Philadelphia , nnd William A
Mason of Chicago of the firm ot Maser
Lewis & Co. wns his opponent.
iMr. Dlxon eald the future of the prop
crty vvos uncertain , but he Is of the opln
Ion that the holders ot the bonds woul
be willing to sell If n sufficient offer I
made at once , but It not they will rcorganlz
nnd operate the property to the best ad
vantage possible.
Ho Indicated that ho understood J. J
Hill of the Great Northern would like t
have the property and had been mnkln
some steps toward Its purchase. Howevoi
ho said that this was only gathered froi
indirect sources. So it may be assume-
from Mr. Dlxon's remarks that the valuabl
terminal property is on the market , an
any day Sioux City may learn of Its sale t
some railway company or syndicate of capl
talistfi.
The sale of. this property under foreclosure
uro proceedings In the United States cour
and to be conducted by AVanvlck Hough o
St. Louis , master in chancery , was adver
tlsed to take place at 10 o'clock this morn
ing from the west steps ot the county cour
house. The fact that men were to be 01
hand who could bid millions naturally at
traded quite a crowd of sightseers. Me ;
stood about watching anxiously for the sal
to begin , and when bidding actually com
menced there was hardly a sound fror
those present aside from the voice of th
master calling for bids. The sale passe >
off quickly , and Inside of a very brief spac
ot tlmo the bidders , buyer and all had let
the steps deserted.
At the appointed hour , Judge Hougl
Mr. Dlxon , A. F. Call , attorney for the trus
company , and several other men Intereste
appeared. H. J. Taylor handed Judg
Hough a note to the effect that ajow lot
had been included in the advertised nolle
of sale and in which the terminal only hel
an equity. Only the equity therefore wa
offered for sale.
All was to be sold In one parcel free an >
clear of all liens and encumbrances whatso
over. No bid of less than $1,000,000 woul
bo accepted. The sale was to bo wlthou
redemption after confirmation , and a deposit
posit of 2 per cent ot the ( purchase prlc
was required of the buyer.
After reading this notice of sale In a de
liberate manner , Judge Hough eald :
Klrnt Hid One Million DoIInrn.
"I am now ready , gentlemen , to recelv
bids for all this property , the character o
"which you know as well as I. Any of yoi
who happen to have a million dollars o
loose change in-your vest pockets now ma ;
be heard. "
All was quiet for a minute , and flnall ;
Mr. Dlxon , who was standing back some dls
tauce , was heard to say :
"One million dollars. "
Judge Hough asked him to write dowi
his bid and hand it in , and then he aske <
who was the next. Mr. Mason was stand
ing at one side , and reaching his ham
down into his coat pocket he bid $1,100,000
Then came slow bidding until the sale wai
made for $1,250,000 to Mr. Dlxou.
The last bid was called three tlmea am
finally Judge Hough said "sold ! " The sail
was to the Trust Company of Nortl
America , trustee for the bondholders.
"Well , " said Mr. Mason to a Sioux Clt ;
man , "I made your property hero worth i
quarter of a million more than it woulc
have ibeen. "
Mr. Dlxon , accompanied by Judge Hougt
and Mr. Call , went to the office of the latter
where the proper transfer of the propertj
was made subject to the confirmation. He
put up the necessiry 2 per cont. accordlnt
to the terms of the notice of sale.
It is understood that Mr. CMason repre
sented a Chicago syndicate who was desir
ous of securing the property , and the gen
eral Impression is that it was the > Illinois
Central for whom ho was bidding. The

Three suspicious looking tramps were dis
covered this morning near Gllman , a few
mllea bouth ot here , walUns rapidly In a
southerly direction. They chose unfrequented
roads , .ivol llng the towns and answered most
minutely the description of the murderers.
A pos > bo was organised in Oilman and sent
nftor them and they weio overtaken near
Dixie , the1 first station v\p ! t of Orlnnell.
One of them Avas placed under arrest , but
the others ran and before they could bo
overtaken had found refuge In the timber.
Word was at once sent to the slieriff heie
and a largo and heavily armed posse went
to Orlnnell on itho evening train determined
< to take the men , dead or alive , as the mur
derers are evidently desperate men. A bat
tle Is not unlikely , but the members ot
the posse are not disposed to extend much
mercy. Developments are hourly expected.
