The celebrated case In which Attorney
John Llndt of this city by an astuto movo
secured possession of a new three story
brick bUildlm erected nn W.,t n . . .1 ..
I ' ' . invtmniij
, by the Schlltz Iirowlng company Is to havo
.luuuiur rounu in tho district court. The
Schlltz Drewlng company has (lied an
nniendment to Its petition under tho occu
pying claimants' act In tt last effort to re
cover at least tho money uxpendod by It on
the Improvements.
The property. It will be remembered, or
iginally belonged to Mrs. Anna Pralor, a
colored woman, who conducted a saloon.
Sho deeded the property to tho Schlltz Iirow
lng company and the latter erected on the
lot a handsome hrlck building. After Mrs.
Pralor's death Attorney Llndt showed up
with a deed ulso from Mrs. Pralor to tho
property, lie went Into court nnd attacked
tho right of tho browing company to the
property on tho grounds that part of the
consideration given by It for tho property
to Mrs. Pralor had been liquor, which win
contrary to tho laws of Iowa, and there
fore made tho transaction null and void. Af
ter Rovernl years of litigation In tho local
and supremo courts, Llndt won and took
possession of tho building. Now the Schlltz
Iirowlng company comes Into court under the
occupying claimants' act, nlleglng that It
paid all tho taxes on the property for tho
years 1832 to 1S99 Inclusive; that Immediate
ly following the deeding of the property In
controveiHy by Anna Pralor In June, 1S92,
Mrs. Pralor entered Into occupancy us tenant
and so continued for a period of nine
months until tho building was destroyed by
fire; that in May, 1895, with the knowledge
nnd consent of Mrs. Pralor the Schlltz
Hrtiwlng company, under claim of title to
tho premises constructed thereon thu brick
building at n cost of $5,681.
The Ilrewlng company further alleges that
Its tenants. Llnder & Filter, were ousted
by Llndt while tho petition far a rehearing
was pending before the supreme court and
before tho action was fully determined. This
being the case the company claims to be
still legally In occupation of tho premises
nnd able to establish Its claim under tho
occupying claimant's net.

A spirited contest Is now on in tho superior
court to determine the ownership of tho
$18.1 found In possession of J. A. Gregory
at tho tlmo of his arrest by Officers Albro
and James. Attorneys Snyder, Mynster and
Llndt, who havo defendod Gregory at hi3
three trials, feel they are entitled to tho
money for their services, especially ns they
hold an assignment of It from Gregory. C.
S. Iiond nnd William Hradley. two farmers
living near Loveland, claim the .money bo
longs to them and tho day after Gregory's
arrest commenced attachment proceedings.
The assignment of the money by Gregory,
It la alleged, was not madn until sevural
hours after tho papers in tho attachment
proceedings had been served.
Some diniculty was experienced In secur
ing a Jury, a Gregory's attorneys wero
careful not to have tho caso tried before
any man who might bo biased against
Gregory. Tho Jury was secured by noon
and most of tho ovldenco was In when
court adjourned for the day.
Hond and Hradley, the plaintiffs In the
action, purchnsed a team of horses and
buggy respectively from Gregory. Tho
former paid $Ki0 for the team and nradley
gnvo Gregory $30 for tho buggy. These two
sums represented practically all the cash In
Gregory's possession at tho tlmo of his ar
rest and tho presumption Is very strong that
the $183 was tho result of tho sale by
Gregory of tho team nnd buggy.
Tho day nfter Gregory's arrest, It was
discovered that the team and buggy had
been stolen from a person In Kansas nnd
the owner of them replovlned them. It was
then that Hond and Hradley attached tho
money found on Gregory which was nt that
tlmo In the hands of Frank A. Hlxby. tho
then chief of police. Under Instructions
from tho court, Hlxby has held tho money
until U should bo decided who is entitled
to it.
In connection with the contest over the
money, it is Interesting to note that al
though a number of rewards had been offered
for tho arrest and conviction of Gregory,
Sam Albro and Harry James, tho two otll
cers who succeeded In capturing tho des
perado nfter n fierce revolver duel In which
u number of shots were exchanged tho otll
cers havo so far only received $10 apiece.
They have both given up hopo of receiving
any more.
Tho question Isn't debatnble. There is no
doubt but Iho Commonwealth cigar Is thq
bent on Lhn market. If you havo never
tried ona do o at tho next opportunity.

Tho second day of tho convention of tho
Stato Federation of Labor was notable for
tho ltttr.odtictton of a largo number of reso
lutions. Ono of the most Important In one
bearing on national Ifaues. offered by Dele
gato John R. Ream, denouncing the acqui
sition of islnnds by tho United Stntis and
demanding tho withdrawal from thoso al
ready acquired, for tho reason that the
Introduction Into our government of tho
natives Is Inimical to tho country's welfaro
nnd a menaco to organized labor. Another
resolution introduced demands a system of
gouoral taxation for paving nnd newer 1m
provoments Instead of tho special ass-csenicnt
system now In force. It Is based on tho
ground that tho benefit of tho Improvement
accrues to tho public Instead of Individuals
and for that reason tho cost should be met
by general levy Included In tho regular
annual lovy for tho cky.
Tho disiiosltlon to discipline, tho Council
Hluffs and Burlington organizations for their
attitude In opposing the Titus antl-convlct
labor bill was moro In ovldoueo than over
today. Tho Sioux City delegation nppeared
especially determined to force santo resolu
tion through tho convention denouncing tho
action of tho unions In tho two cities In vig
orous terms. A grlevancn committee was
appointed and was authorised to recelvo
testimony and pass upon tho truth or falfilty
of tho charges preferred. Delegato Breckon
of Muscatine moved tho complete exoneration
of tho two unions unless sonio moro fpeclllc
chargo wero made, but tho Sioux City dele
gation mndo the point of order that tho
matter must bo nlred before tho grievance
committee and llreckon's motion was de
clared out of order. It Ih not believed the
two unions will bo expelled from tho fed
eration, but It Ls probable they will be
disciplined severely If the charges arc
proven. Thero Is a prospect of a lively con
test for president. O. P. neubo of Sioux City
Is confidently expecting another term. J. F.
Byrno of Ottumwa is actively In tho raco
to sticcood President Beobo, and tho frlondt
of A. L. Urlck and W. E. Obleneas of this

"Mr. Chairman, Members and Guests
of tho Republican Convention: Whllo ac

prlvllego of presiding temporarily over tho

let mo venture to congratulato the people
of all parties upon the happy condition of

always important nnd to tho man who has
already earned all that he needs, or whoso
anctstors earned it for him, tho same Ide
of affairs is more or lees interesting, from

samo calamity which Strands the uhlp of
commerce and of business leaves labor list
less on the shore and tho samo Hood tide

"I simply have to tuy that if President

Hon had been placed under bonds to accept
tho worst lnduotrinl situation over expe

forth tho most substantial and Illustrious
success there Is not a Just Judgo nor a con

who would not today exonerate tho bonds
men ' with tho mo.it favorable commenda
tion. "Without tho least thought of acquiring
territory or empire, tho president of tho
Unltod States and tho congress and our
mntchlc! army and navy prosecuted the
Spanish war. With tho greatest Justification
It was begun and with tho most expeditious
nnd brilliant achievements it was concluded.
Tho glory of tho war was eagerly shared
by all political parties nnd the treaty of
peace was by all partleo ratified. Tho mis
fortune.! of war, tho nccldents of war and
tho problems which it leaver for solution
are charged lo tho responsibility of tho re
publican party nnd its administration. That
party In no way shirks that great responsi
bility. It rcredeu from no position taken.

No rebel of this nation and no enemy of its

"If prosperity and national honor were
worth struggling for in 1896 they are worth

SIOUX CITV, In., ..May 10.-(Sneclal.l-
Faroon Uach & Co., bankers and bond
buycra of Chicago, havo instituted two suits
against tho city of Sioux City. Treasurer
John lllttlo and his bonilKiuen. One of the
actions le to recover $.10,000 alleged to be
duo on city Improvement bonds and tho
other suit ls to enjoin tho treaourcr from
paying out some $15,000 which has Just been
turned In from tho county treasury. The
sultfl to recover on thine bonds nhow quite
a peculiar situation with reference to the
bonus In quetlon. It has made a whole lot
of troublo ovem thlo early. When thewe
Improvement bonds were Imped for grading
tho KUburban Btrectn of tho city two funds
were opened up In tho olTtco of tho treasurer.
Ho had divided tho city off In districts nnd
expected when upr-chil assowmcnts were paid i
in from a district to credit tho monoy to that
samo dlHtrlct.
But thero should havo boon hundreds of nc-
oounts opened up In this way, instead of
simply lumping all of tho money. The
bonds aro issued as agnlnt cortain locali
ties. It nenis that nome- of the local bond
buyers went In and purchnsed a block of
them, nnd kept tab nn the funds In the
bond nccounts. Whenever money would come
In from one cf the districts and be credited
to ono of the funds tho Sioux City bond men
would bo on hand, 'and they would get the
money on ono or other of thq bonds they
held. They had bought thcho meurltle In
at n versplow figure, nnd they oiado nurcn'f
getting their monoy right along. Hut the
Chicago bond house, with $30,000 of these
grading securities, has been unable to get
at a cent of tho money. So It sent n renro-
Herrtntlvo to Sioux City to work on the
matter. Tho outcome Us he has filed this i
$30,000 nult ngalnet tho city and Its treas
urer and 'his bondsmen nnd a general over-
hauling of accounts is promised. I
