GRAIN COMPANY BRINGS SUIT
Wants Northwestern to Pay Dances for

FIGHT OVER OMAHA U ST. LOUIS
In Absence of Truffle Anrcenirnt fle
tirrrn the Lines Shipper Sny
Their Ilnslness Is Delnyed
nnd I'urse Affected.
The McCaull-Webster Grain company of
Minneapolis brought suit In tho district
court yesterday against the Chicago
hlcago & J
for $1,835 1
Northwestern Hallroad company
damages, which It alleges It has suffered
by reason of tho railway company refusing
to transfer or routo Its cars over the
Omaha & St, Louis road.
Tho plaintiff firm Is engaged In buying
and selling grain and does a large busi
ness In Iowa. In tho action at bar the
McCaull-Webster company asserts that
during tho month of August a number of
cars of grain were shipped to It from
points along the line of tho Northwestern
and thot at Council Bluffs the Northwestern
refused to transfer these earn to the
Omaha & St. Louis road, neither would It
permit Omaha & St. Louis cars on Its
tracks so that tho grain could bo trans
ferred to them. Tho grnjn company says
It was put to great cxpenso In consequence
and had to transfer the grain from ono
road to the other by means of wagons. It
estimates this expense at the amount .sued
for.
While this Is the first case of this char
acter brought Into tho local courts, tho
controversy has been ponding for some
time and has boon before tho Stato Rail
way commission on complaint of tho grain
ahlppors.
Tho Northwestern road has no traffic
agreement with the Omaha & St. Louis,
which Is alleged to be a rate cutter and
disturbing clement In railroad freight cir
cles. In consequence, It Is alleged, It has
dono all In Its power to divert traffic to
other roads with which It had traffic
agreements. When tho controversy first
aroso tho Northwestern took tho ground
that It could not afford to allow Us cars
to bo transferred to the Omaha & St. i
Louis on account of the scarcity of cars j
and Its need fpr all belonging to It. As i
to not permitting Omaha & St. Louis cars
on Its trackB, so that the grain might be
transferred to enrs of the latter road, tho
Nbrthwestcrn offlclals clnlmed this was
Impracticable, as It had no traffic arrange
ment with the Omaha & St. Louts.
In this case tho McCaull-Webster com
pany states It wonted the grain, delivered
at points along tho lino of tho Omaha &
St. Louis road reached exclusively by that
railroad.

TRUCE TILL CAMP CLOSES
Then Colonel Kiiepher KxncctM to Se
cure. Nrnlps of ItlVnls nt
Lake Mnnairn. '
Colonel William Henry Knepher Is still
on the warpath and declares he will have
scalps hanging at his belt before many
days havo passed. As a sequel to his at
tempt to Bocure a search warrant Thursday
for tho Country clubhouse, managed by
Herman Faeber, a warrant was Issued yes
terday morning charging Knepher with bo
Ing mentally derangod. The Information
was filed before the Insanity board by James
E. Hartzell, employed by Faeber at Lake
Manawa.
Faeber and Hartzell were the only two
witnesses examined, while Knepher was
represented by nn attorney. The evidence
of Faeber and Hartzell was to tho effect
that Knephor had on several occasions at
Lake Manawa, where he conducted a lunch
stand, acted wildly and threatened to kill
several persons whom ho claimed wero an
noying him. Hartzell said that Knepher
had threatened to kill htm and had gone so
far as to flourish a revolver.
Knepher denlod making any such threats
and clalmsed his arrest on the charge of
being lniano was but one small chapter In
tho persecution he had been subjected to
by his rivals In business. The commis
sioners discharged Knepher on the grounds
that his peculiar behavior was evidently
the result of an overindulgence In strong
liquors and warned him that unless he let
liquor alone his mind would undoubtedly
become permanently unhinged.
Knepher, It Is understood, has employed
the services of two attorneys with tho
avowed Intention ot closing the Country
clubhouse unless Faeber complies strictly
with all the provisions of tho mulct law.
If he cnrrles out his threat a lively war
may be looked for dawn on the row at Lake
Manawa, as others have threatened that It
Faeber Is molested the same proceedings
will bo brought against cvory place that
sells liquor at the lake. Knepher's at
torneys declined to discuss the matter yes
terday, but It was roportcd that a truce
had been patched up so that nothing will
bo done until the closo of the encampment.
At tho close of the camp, howovcr, It Is
said, the dogs of war will be let loose and
there will be troublo and plenty of It.

Conntr Attorney Klllpnck Tiring
Snlt Against Cochran
Kxecutor.
County Attorney KUIpack brought suit
yesterday in the district court against tha
exocutore of tho Addison Cochran estato to
collect collateral Inheritance tax amounting
to $0,5ft7.
Tho suit raises n now point in connection
with the collateral Inheritance tax law. Ad
dison Cochran died before the law went Into
effect, leaving a large estate. By his will
his entire property passed Into tho hands cf
his executors, J. J. Stewart ot this city and
J. L. Drulcn of Little Sioux, who wero in
structed to dispose of It and distribute the
proceeds among the bcncflclarlei. Tho total
sum of $131,050 has boon distributed, each
of tho beneficiaries receiving $10,150.
The contention of the couuty attorney is
that ns tho property did not pnss to ve
heirs until after tho distribution of the pro
ceeds, nnd this being after tho enactment of
tho collateral Inheritance tax law, the estate
was subject to the tax.

LONDON, Aug. 16. In the House of
Commons today G. E. Armstrong, a former
lieutenant of thn British nnvy, editor of
the Olobo, and W. T. Mndge, manager of
that paper attended the bar In the custody
of the sergcant-nt-nrms, In accordance
with tho summons of the house, for gross
brench of the privileges of the house in
accusing tho nationalist members ot cor
ruption In connection with private-bill
legislation. After the speaker, William
Court Gully, notified them of tho cause of
the summons both Armstrong and Madge
expressed regret at tho appearance of the
article and apologized to the house. The
sptakcr then ordered tho delinquents to
withdraw while the houso considered the
matter. Both the editor' and the manager
backed out, bowing low at each step, amid
the derisive cheers of the nationalists.
After a protest from John Redmond, tho
nationalist leader, against the Inadequacy
ot tho apology, the offenders wero recalled
and asked if they were prepared to with
draw the allegations. They did In some
what nervous tones. Tho speaker then
severely reprimanded tho two newspaper
men, who wero permitted to depart, the
members of tho house Jocrlngly congratu
lating them on their escape from Impris
onment in tho tower.
It is said that tho artlclo for which tho
editor and publisher ot the Globe apolo
gized to the House of Commons today was
written by Viscount Mount Morrcs, who
wns tho victim ot nn agrarian outrage a
score of years ago.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16. Commenting upen
the quarrels between the Irish members
of tho House of Commons and tho London
newspapers, tho London representative of
tns Trlbuno Bays; "Aa had been expected
Redmond made a vigorous demonstration
in defense of the Irlfch members who had
been nttnckrd by a tory newspaper, the
Globe, and succeeded In securing an order
for the appearance of the editor and pub
lisher before the bar of the house for
breach of privilege.
"Balfour sought to repeat the tactics
employed when Brodrlck was attacked
by tho Dally Mall, admitting that thcro was
a serious breach of privilege In tho charge
that the nationalists had been corrupted,
but minimizing tho importance ot tho affair
and advising against nn unnecessary con
fl let with the press. When his counsel
was received with Jeers from tho excited
Irish benches ho tried to compromise tho
case by suggesting a committee of Inquiry
respecting tho best mcthad of protecting
the dignity of tho house. The Irish mem-

cusers, however, and thereby Justifying I
their own nttltudo respecting Brodrlck and j
their doraands could not be denied. Tho
sequel promises to bo most Interesting.
The Irish party has been well led during
this session for Its own purposes, nnd
discipline nnd unity havo been perfect.
"This breach of privilege puts tho Irish
seal tipon tho closing passages of a dull
and uneventful session of Parliament."
