ALLOWS PREFERRED CLAIMS
Judge Thornell Handi Down His Dcciilon
in More Hack Cases,
SOME OF THE CLAIMS NOT GRANTED
One UiiIIiik Is Til at Sums 1'nld an In
trrcst Shnll lie Deducted from
Orlulnnl DeposltK, nn Inlerett
tun not lie ltreo ernl.
Judgo Thornell of the district court
handed down his decision yesterday tuoru
Ing In tho cases where creditors of the
banking firm of Ofllcer & Punoy had filed
preferred clulma. Tho claims wero divided
Into several clas.ies, his rulings covering
tho claims In such divisions. One ruling
which covered nil preferred claims was to
the effect that In all caes whero the pre
ferred claim was allowed any sum which
had been paid as Interest should bo de
ducted from tho original deposit, tho court
holding that preferred claimants, while en
titled to recover the original amount of
their deposits, could not receive any Inter
est, ns to do so would chnnge thu natuto
of their claims.
In tho csso of executors and administra
tors Judge Thirnoll held that wheto they
had deposited thu funds of estates on tlmo
certificates or In their own names they were
exceeding their authority, as to make such
deposits was virtually loaning tho money
to tho bank, nnd consequently such deposits
wero unlawful, not being by tho order of
court, and suci claims for preference would
bo allowed. On the other hand, executors
and administrators who had deposited tho
funds of tho estates in their chargo on open
account, subject to check, had not ex
ceeded their authority, but their claims
would not be preferred, us such derojlts
simply established the relations of credi
tor and debtor. In making this ruling,
however, Judgo Thornell held that the ad
ministrator or executor who had deposited
in open account bad done so In thu discre
tion of his best Judgment for the purpose
ot piovldlng u safe plnce for tho funds In
his churge. the llrm of OiUcer & Piuoy
having a financial standing In tho hanking
world, nnd that such administrator or ex
ecutor nor his bondsmen could bo held
responsible fcr what loss might result by
the failure of tho bank.
In tho case of guardians who had de
posited funds for minors nnd others Judgo
Thornell ruled that tho claims for prefer
ence should be allowed under thu laws ot
tho state governing this class of funds nnd
the decisions of tho Iowa supreme courts.
Township trustees, school treasurers and
county offlcora were placed under the pre
ferred list.

Over Motor Company.
Mayor Jennings submitted to the city
coinell last night a communication tn which
he recommended that the aldermen take
tome steps to enable a distribution of tho
money deposited by the motor company for
tho paving on South Main street. He nisi
rend a petition to tho same cflcct signed
by the following linns nnd property own
ers, who nrc entitled to tho refund: David
Hradlcy & Co., V. W. Lonmls, Chicago,
Uurllngton & Qulncy Hull way company,
George S. Wright, Keystcini Manufacturing
company, Sandwich Mann acturlng corapnn.
Grand DoTour Plow company and oihors.
After transacting some routine business,
tho aldermen on motion of Lougco took a
roross nnd retired to tho mayor's ottlco,
whore a session of tho committee of the
wholo to discuss the matter wns held he
hind locked doors. For fear that any of tho
discussion might reach the ears of out
siders, tho transom over tho door was
closed.
Tho session lasted over two hours vand
Judging from tho pitch of the voices of
tho different aldermen wns heated at times.
On returning to the council chamber about
11 o'clock. Alderman Iloyer moved to ad
journ, and tho meeting was over without
any action being taken as far as was mado
public on tho mayor's communication.
Major .leiinhiK Communication.
Mayor Jennings' communication was as
follows.
To the Honorable Members of tho City
Council of the City of Council Muffs, Inwui
Gentlemen In response to a communication
from David Hrndley & Co. and to the petl
Hon hereto nttaclied, signed by David
Urudloy et nl. In regard to tho refund of
tax for speela' assessment on South Main
street. 1 would suggest that some means
should bo taken to enable thu property
owners unon said street to receive the re
fund of the tax, which Is properly payublo
by the Omaha, Council Muffs & Suburban
Hallway company.
The law provides thnt before n track can
be laid upon n street which Is ulrcndy
paved the company before laying fucli
track shall pay Into the city treasurer the
amount of tho soeclal lax for paving be
tween the rails unj for one foot on the out
sldo thereof, which amount shall be re
funded to the abutting property owners.
The law ul.o provides that the city coun
cil shu'l determine thu umount of such
tax.
Tho city council met, examined the pav
ing nnd determined the amount that should
bo refunded to the abutting proorty own
ers by the Omnha, Council UlufTs & Su
burban Hallway company and before pro
ceeding to lay enld second track said com
pany deposited with the city clerk a check
for tho umo.int as determined upon by tho
city engineer.
1 would recommend that the snld rnllwny
company withdraw Its check deposited with
tho city clerk and deposit it with the city
treasurer.
The said railway company agrees to sign
n. waiver by which the city may be pro
tected In any litigation that m.iy arise In
regard to said company's right to occupy
said street and If such waiver Is signed by
tho said railway company 1 see no reason
why the property owners should not be
entitled tn receive the anion tit due to them
on account of the occupancy of hhIiI street.
The suld railway company Is at present
In possession of paid street and the law
makes It the duty of said company lo puv
for tho pavltig us aforesaid to the abutting
property owners.
1 would recommend that the city council
tnko such action t hat may protect the city
of Council H'ulfs In Its rights nnd not for
feit imy claim which suld city or Its In
habitants muy have to teat the right of said
company to occupy snld street and to the
end that Hie abutting property owners may
receive thu refind lo which they lire en
titled by law and that tho city engineer
be Instructed to furnish the ctlv treasurer
sufllclent data for him to determine to
whom snld refund paving tnx belongs and
that ho be Instructed to puy tho samo In
accordance therewith.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
.VICTOIt JHNNl.NOB. Mayor.
Muyor Jennings, when asked what had
transpired at the conimltteo of the whole
meeting, had but one answer: "There was
so much talk that I cannot remember It
all." Uoyond this ho declined to say any
thing. Tho aldermen were also all non
comtnunlcutlvc. From what, howovcr. drifted through au
thoritative channels It wns apparent that
Aldermen Iloyer, Hrown nnd Clark were
afraid that If the city took any steps to
mako a distribution of the money paid In
by tho motor company It might gUe the
latter rights on South Main street which
they questioned whether the company had.
It Is understood thnt tho city nttorncy wns
Instructed to investigate tho rights of the
motor company to lay a second track on
Main street and report to the council at the
meeting next Mondny night.
Property owners who arc entitled to the
money i alii In by the motor company threat
ened last night In the council chamber that
If tin re was any further delay In the matter
they would Institute mandamus proceedings
against the city to compel It to distribute
tho money.

The caso in which County Hecorder Elmer

paid out for clerk hlro during 1900 was tried
before Judgo Thornell In the district court
yesterday afternoon.
All the witnesses testified that tho vork
could not havo been kept up as required
by law unless tho recorder had employed
tho extin help ho did. On behalf of tho
county board County Attorney Klllpsck took
tho position that the recorder having been
allowed u deputy whose salary was paid by
the county, the law did not authorise the
payment by tho county of nnv further
amount for clerk hire. Judge Thornell took
his decision under advisement.

The Iowa supremo court today heard oral
arguments for n rehearing In tho case of
tho Stato against Archie Woods, from Har
rison county, In which Woods wns con
victed of manslaughter and at the lust term
of court the rulings of the lower court
wero nfHrmed.
Tho Western Union Tolcgraph company
won a caso In supreme court today on ap
peal from Judgo Macy's court In Potta
wattaoile county. Micklewnlt A Young of
Macedonia had been sent a messagu by n
grain Iroker In Dcs Moines offering them a
certain price for corn. Tho mcssago us
delivered showed a cent a bushel more.
The Macedonia firm promptly bought 18.200
bushels of corn on the strength of this
message, but tho Dcs Moines man refused
to pay more than he hud offered and It
was sold to him at that price. The lower
court gavo tho plaintiffs on their suit for
damages a verdict for 1 cent a bushel loss
or toss or profits. Tho supreme court
figured It out that there was an actual
profit of $73 to the plaintiffs In the trans
notion as It stood, and they cannot there
fore claim u loss. They cannot claim t
oss of possiblo profits because If there
had been no mistake In the message no

Eight years ago the Lo Crando peoplo tried
to secure the assistance of the railroad

Within n day or two tho plans for n
now High school building now belug pre
pared by Architect Davis of the Hoard of
Education will be ready for Inspection.
What the cost of tho structure will be Mr.
Davis dc.illnes to state nt this time, but
as soon as tho plans aro submitted to tho
Hoard of Education his estimates will bo
mado.
It Is Inferred that tim
icss than $100,000. ns the drawings show
iimurKaoiy untidsome and substantial i
structure. There Is very littlo glneerbrcad
work on tho building, the Idea being to con- ,
struct n masslvo and Imposing building
which will stand for many years As the
silo has been purchased nil that remains !
to be dotio Is for the Hoard of Education
to nsccrtnln the will of tho people In regarj
jo paying the cost of construction. While
It It figured that the rcvenuo of the school
district will be largoly Increased this year
by reason of tho lncrcns3 in the price of
inloon licenses and also a presumed In-
creaso In tho valuation of the property In
the city it will most likely be necessary
to vote bonds. SInco tho establishment of
he school dlatrlct. not a bond has been
Issued against it nnd tho property of the '
district U now considered very valuable
An Issue of $100,000 In bonds is talked
of and If this Is acceded to by tho peoplo
ihe entire building can bo erected at once ,
The suggestion wns made some time ago
hat only one or two wings be erected this
i. . . . "npreasion prevails now that
t would be advisable to construct the en
tiro building at once and thus secure a
c ,rvCluUm t,UUn,',e to the ne of h"
city without any more delay than Is nb
solutcly necessary.
