OMAHA BANK IS LEFT OUT Mmt Look to Crystal Lake Bank for Honey on Orenihaw Aooonnt CREDITORS CONTEST MOTHER'S CLAIMS If It is Allowed to Stand Will Cmt Amount They RerelTC from As. sets of Groreryman la the Middle. At the hesrlng yesterday before Referee Mayne In the W. H. Crenshaw bankruptcy case the creditors passed a resolution di recting that the trustee make no claim to the bank at Crystal Lake, la., the control of which young Crenshaw was alleged to have secured on a capital consisting solely of nerve as an asset of tbe estate. In view of the fact that O. 8. Gllberteon and C. J. Thompson, the owners of the bank, had agreed to make no claim against the funds of the estate In the bands of the trustee. Referee Mayne, although no order lias yet been made by him to this effect, de cided that the Omaha National bank, which cashed ose of tbe 15,000 certificates of de posit secured by Crenshaw from the Crys tal Lake bank and which filed a petition of Intervention in the bankruptcy proceed ings, will have to look to ths bank or Oil bertson ft Thompson for the payment of Its claim. Crenshaw's mother and sister, whose claims aggregate $4,950, waived any claim to preference under tb mortgages given them by Crenshaw the diy he disappeared from Council Bluffs, bu'. agreed to allow their claims to go In as general creditors and to participate In the assets. The claims of Mrs. Crenshaw and her daughter, however, are objected to by tbe general creditors on the grounds that the mort gage given to them by the bankrupt was for tbe purpose of defrauding bis creditors. Referee Mayne took under advisement the adjudication of the claims of Mrs. and Miss Crenshaw. Makes Considerable Difference. In the event of the claims of Mrs. and Miss Crenshaw being permitted to staud, the estate will pay about 40 per cent, but If they are disallowed tbe creditors will receive between 80 and 90 per cent of their claims. The schedule of Indebtedness filed In ths proceedings amounts to $8,389.13, Including the claims of Crenshaw's mother and sister. The funds In the hands of the trustee amount to $4,086.09. F. A. Rlckman of the First National bank of this city, who In the earlier stages of the proceedings acted as receiver, was appointed trustee for the creditors. One of the creditors who since the bank ruptcy proceedings against Crenshaw were commenced has given the acquisition by Crenshaw of the control of the Crystal Lake bank some Investigation, gave It as bis opinion at yesterday's meeting that the young man was not the Napoleon of finance that he was credited with being. He stated that he believed Crenshaw, In being , in duced to buy the bank, had got the worst end of ths bargain and that it was when he saw be had assumed a load he could not carry he availed himself of the oppor tunity to cash one of the certificates of deposit and decided to go away rather than face the music. The Investigation made by this creditor shows that on February 1 Crenshaw went to Des Moines, where the negotiations for the sale of tbe bank by OUbertson and Thompson to blm were begun. That was on Saturday. On the Monday following Crenshaw, accompanied by one of the own era of the bank, went to Crystal Lake. He was only In .the town one hour and when be left he had with him certificates of de posit aggregating $20,000, Issued by ths cashier who was In the employ of Gllbertson and Thompson. From Crystal Lake Cren shaw went to Slouz City, where he at tempted to cash the certificates, but failed. On February 6 he cashed one for $5,000 at the Omaha National bank. The Omaha National bank corresponded with ths Crys tal Laks bank regarding the certificate and all of this correspondence shows that the certificate was guaranteed by the cashier of that bank. Neither the Omaha National bank nor OUbertson and Thompson have made any effort to apprehend Crenshaw and it was stated at yesterday's meeting that neither of them wanted to. On behalf of Crenshaw, It was stated that If be had been In entire control of the bank, as had been asserted, he could have taken possession of the cash which was In the vault and which amounted to over $3,000. Homes for All. For sals at low prices and easy payments, homes In all parts of tbe city, including some of the nicest residences and thoee of moderate else.

CITY WINS THE PAVING CASE Wlelthaan Contract Held to Be Valid - and Property Liable for the Tax. Judge Wheeler In the district court yes terday morning handed down his decision In the suit brought by L. C. Baldwin and other property owners in the Fourth ward against the city, in which tbe validity of tbe contract awarded to E. A. Wlckham for the paving of certain streets and ave nues in thst ward was attacked. The pe tition of ths plaintiffs that ths contract be declared null and void and that the city be prevented from assessing against tbe abutting property the cost of ths paving Is denied. The streets involved In ths con troversy were: First, Willow snd Fifth svsnues and Sixth, Seventh and Eighth streets. The petitioners attacked the validity of the contract between the city and Wlckham on' the ground that the entire proceed ings of the city council In ordering the Improvement were irregular In that suf ficient notice wss not given ths property owners interested and that In the resolu tion providing for tbe paving of tbe streets named the material was not specifically designated. The plaintiffs also allege fraud In the letting of the contract and that It was not awarded to the lowest bidder, as provided by law. In giving his decision Judge Wheeler ststed that be had not taken time to give the subject as careful Investigation as would hare liked, owing to tbe pressure of other business, but bad decided that It was Important that a decision should be reached in tbe ease, as Thursday was ths last day allowed property owners on Sixth strset, the paving of which has been com pleted, to determine whether they pre ferred to sign walvsrs or pay for the im provement la cash- Judge Wheeler In bis ruling held that ths designation of "vitrified brick" In the reso lution passed by 'the council la ordering lb imgantanak suttalsaUr, DeolAa as to the material to be used and that tbe city should not be held to a more specific designation of material and manner of construction of the work In the prellraloafy notice, the purpose of the resolution being to advise property owners of the Intent to Improve the streets named and to afford them an opportunity to file their objec tions. In general the court held that the law had been conformed with by tbs city coun cil In its proceedings ordering the paving snd awarding the contract to Wlckham. As to the allegation of fraud In tbe award ing of the contract Judge Wheeler said thst there was not tbe slightest evidence to substantiate this charge. Judge Wheeler's decision la sn Important one for the city, as the future of psvlng In Council Bluffs depended to a grest ex tent upon It. Tbe petitioners bad not de cided yesterday whether to take tbe case to the suprtme court. Davis sells glass. Matters In the District Conrt. Judge Green held session of district court yesterdsy to hear arguments In ths suit of J. J. Rauer against Louise Douglas. Benjsmln Douglas, the founder of Dun's Mercantile agency, who died about two years ago In California, owned a large amount of land In this and other counties In Iowa. This property was subject to liens amounting to $30,000 In the event that his general estate was not sufficient to pay them. The heirs cold their Interests in tbe land in this state to certain real estate dealers In thla city, who are really the plaintiffs In this action. They contend that the general estate Is ample to pay these liens, while the defendsnt. contends that the property In this state should be made subject to them. Mrs. E.

WORLD-WIDE SHIPPING TRUST Morgan's Atlantic Scheme 8ald to In volve Junction with Hill's Lines on Pacific. NEW YORK, April 25. One of the lead ing spirits in ths International shipping concern organized by J. P. Morgan A Co. today Issued a dental of tbe report that pressure is beiag brought to bear to force tbe Compagnte Oeneral Trans-Atlantlqne Into the combination. It Is admitted that negotiations have taken place between Mr. Morgan and representatives of the French line, but they bsve not advanced to that stags where they can be publicly discussed. It hss been suggested that the new com bination probably will enter Into close re lations with the Pacific steamship lines controlled by J. J. Hill, thus effecting a world-wide "community of steamship inter ests" with resultant Increase of business to tbe transcontinental railroad lines. Such suggestions are said to be premature, but It Is well known that ths Morgan and Hill Interests in the steamship business, no less than tn several railroad schemes, are prac tically Identical. There is no thought at this time of tak ing any of tbe coastwise lines Into the Morgan combination, although it is pointed out that several such lines running to Mex ico, Central and South American ports offer grest possibilities in tbe way of Increased business. William R. Grace, who controls large South American Interests, has been a fre quent visitor to the, Morgan banking house recently, but his business, It Is believed, bss nothing to do with the stesmshlp com bine. LONDON, April 24.

If the vessels had been sold they would pass to another flag. BLOODLESS VICTORY IS WON galntarr Effect Wrought oa Moros by Cap a re of Saltan Pualoe. MANILA. April 25. Lieutenant Colonel Frank D.

I have had rheumatism for twenty years, aud for the past fourteen years I have suffered pain constantly from the top of my head to the tip of my toes, and for the past three years I had been unable to sleep very much and would be more tired when I would get up in the morning than when I would retire. After taking Smith's Green Mountain Renovator three weeks the pain entirely disappeared and I can now sleep well and feel like a new man. I am very glad to recommend it to others and give all the information any one desires, (Signed) Chas. . Ourandlr.

Now it is within everybody's reach. It is not only the suro cure for rheumatism, but the best thing in the world for anything due to bad blood or not enough blood. It also cures liver and kidney troubles and the long list of dangerous diseases which follow troubles in those organs.
