Tbe explosion of a boiler in Swlft'a heg house Wednesday afternoon Injured three men and caused a loss of possibly $5,000. Tbe Injured are: Dan Powers, hurt in the back and allghtly cut on the face. Charles II. Graham, colored; left arm fractured and alight bruises. J. Brooks, colored; banda and face scalded by escaping steam. A battery of four boilers constitute the power plant in the hog bouse, which la in the middle of the west section of tha plant. Everything was running along as usual when about o'clock one of tha boilers exploded and blew tha roof off tbe boiler house, aa well aa blowing oyt all of the windows. An alarm of Bra waa Im mediately Bounded by whistle and tha city department responded. While tbe fir did not amount to a great deal, aa only tha wrecked roof and aupports burned. It took aoma little time to extinguish the blaxe. While tbe firemen were engaged in work ing on the flames tha Injured men were taken to the office of the company, where Dr. C. M. rod R. E. Schlndel attended them. As soon aa the wounda were dressed tba mea were sent to their homes In car riages, ss nons were badly enough hurt to warrant sending them to a hospital. In speaking of the accident an officer of the company said that until an Investiga tion could be made no accurate estimate of the loss could be made. Aa for tbe cause no on aeema to know bow It happened. 'We will aot be cramped at ail," said Mr. Hlgglns, "as we have Just completed the installation ot four new boilers In the power house on the east side ot the plant, and the bog bouse will not be closed down a minute." From a hasty examination it does not look aa though the walla ot tbe building were injured. If thla Is eo the re pair to the roof ran be aulckly made. A portion of the boiler which exploded went through the roof and landed on the loading platform near tha eaat power house, after a sail ot over 100 feet through the air.

SHERIDAN USED DECEPTION How I.lttlo Phil Captored a Uuerrllla Leader Darlner the Re bellion. "I notice," saya Captain Groves ot the commissary department of the army, "that some of General Funatoa'a critics sre ac cusing htm of treachery and baseness for tha method used by him In capturing Agulnaldo. That baa been alwaya a com mon practice in war. One notable Instance la told ot by General Philip Sheridan In hU memoirs. Union soldiers disguised as confederates and commanded by a member of General Sheridan's personal staff cap tured a noted guerrilla leader In 'West Virginia by precisely tha aama means that were adopted by General Funston." Tba Incident referred to by Captain Grovea Is recounted by General Sheridan In tha aecond volume ot bis personal memoirs, at page 107, thus; With this knowledge at hand I directed Young to take twenty of bis best men and leave that night for Moorefleld, dreaeed in confederate uniforms, telling him that I would have about 300 cavalry following in his wake when he had got about fifteen miles' start, and Instructing him to pase his party oft as a body of re cruits for Ollmore coming from Maryland and pursued by the Yankee cavalry. I anew tnia would auay suspicion and pro vide him heln on the road. and. indeed. as Colonel Whlttaker, who alone knew the secret, followed after the fleeing "Marylanders," he found that their ad vent had caused so little remark that the trail would have been lost had he not al ready known their destination. Young met with a hearty welcome wherever he halted on the way, and as he passed through the town ot Moorefleld learned with satisfaction that Ullmore still made his headquarters at the house where the report of the twe soouta had located him a few day before. Reaching tha desig nated place about 12 o'clock on the night of the 6th of Fehruarv, Young, under the representation that fie had come di rectly from Maryland and was being pur sued by the union cavalry, gained imme diate access to Otlmore's room, lie found the bold guerrilla snugly tucked in bed, with two pistols lying on a chair near by. II was aleeplng so soundly 'that to arouse him Young had to give him a violent shake. Aa he awoke and anked who was disturbing his slumbers. Young, pointing at him a cocked slxohooter, ordered him to dress without delay, and In answer to bis inquiry he Informed him that he was prisoner to one of Sheridan's staff. Mean while Ollmore s men had learned of his trouble, but the early appearance of Colo nel Whlttaker caused them to disperse: thus the last link between Maryland and the eorftderacy waa carried a prisoner to W'lrcheater, whence he waa sent to Fort Warren.

NAMES CADET TAYLOR AS PRINCIPAL Alleges that He and Others Created Maay Fake Companies to F.iade rJxrrutloa on Old J1 rjieuts. In an effort to recover on an old Judg ment for 11,405.19 and $88.60 ccsts, A. C. Wakeley and J. S. Cooley, attorneya for James M. E. Weckerly have been digging deep Into tha history of Cadet Taylor, pres ent collector of customs at the port of Omaha, W. B. Taylor, Me brother, Henry O. Devrles and others. Thla hia'ory plaintiff relates In a petition Is of such sensational nature that Judge Read yesterday granted an order restraining toe Sherman McCoo nell Drug company from paying rent to any of the defendants pending a hearing May 10, on an application for temporary Injunction. Weckerly, who is tai'l to be a laborer wbose only Income is the earning of his hands. In hi petition, tells a long and somewhat complicated story which is in substance that the Taylor brothers were the principal movers In a scheme to defraud old creditors by shifting titles often, yet keeping them practically In their own bands. I'latntlff begins by relating that March 30, 1901, In district court he received a Judg ment against Cadet Taylor, Mount, Globe Loan and Trust company, Emma O. Dev rles, aa administratrix, and the Globe Sav ings bank, for the sum above stated, which judgment Is est ill in full force. Story of a Bond. It was, he says rendered upon a $o0,000 bond executed to tbe state by the defendant, the Globe Savings bank as principal and Cadst Taylor, David T. Mount, Globe Loan and Trust company and H. O. Devrles as sureties, about two years after the bank, which had been organised March 22, 1890, under the name of the Globe Loan and Trust Company's Savings bank, became In solvent and unable to pay Ita creditors. At that time, plaintiff avers, a state bank examiner, who later had charge of the bank, recommended applying to the district court for a receiver, but on June 26, 1898. tha defendants, the Taylor brothers. Mount and Devrles jointly and severally executed the bond above referred to, agreeing In It to settle In full all liabilities of the Globe Savings bank within three years of the date of tbe bond. By doing thla they aecured $55,000 assets and property of the bank, but when the three yeara were ex pired in June, 1899, plaintiff state, they failed to keep tbe promise to settle liabil ities, among which waa th plaintiff's 11.493.79 Judgment. And they are, be al leges, still refusing to make such settle ment. On April 6, 1901. he caused an ex ecution to be Issued on certain property the bank possessed and aold the aam for the munificent sum of $8, since which time he has not been able to collect a cent more, although be tried it with another execu tion one week ago today. Formation of Corporation. A history of the Taylor-Devrte evasion of execution Is given and the chapter is on of tha broadest and bluntest of his long petition. It sets out that Devrlea and the Taylor brother in 1889 and 1890 em barked in various business ventures of a hasardous nature and anticipating the fact that these ventures might result disas trously to themselves and expose' them ta personal liability, In order to defraud their clients and customer and to provide an easy means of shifting about the title of their real estate and other assets, and there by effectually defrauding their creditors, organised in the city of Omaha the follow ing corporations: On November 8, 1889, the Globe Loan and Trust company, which became insolv ent and ceased to transact any business about 1896. On March 22, 1890, the Globe Loan and Truet Company Savings bank, which be came insolvent a short time after It waa organised and whose affairs were taken In charge by the state bank examiner in 189. On October 21, 1890, the Globe Building company. On October 8, 1898, the Henryton Land company. On January 14, 1898, tbe Putnam Land Tompany. On October 1, 1890, the Llnwood Park Land company, whose control and manage ment subsequently fell Into tbe hands ot Cadet and W. Beach Taylor and Devrles. In all these ingeniously created con- cerna Taylor and Devrlea constituted the controlling element, associating other namea with thelra only for the sake ot appearances. Of the first, plaintiff says that one name, that of M. Eugene Culver, he believes to either be fictitious or a per son not a resident In Nebraska, and he charges that the company became In solvent "through fraud of mismanage ment," leaving debts and judgmenta that are still on tha records. Of the Henryton Land company and the Putnam company, b aays that th Incorporation were simply hired to do the incorporating for the Taylors; that Cadet Taylor la presi dent and W. B. Taylor la secretary of the latter, and these companies and th Glob Building company were created. In ao far a Cadet Taylor or Henry O. Deverlea were Interested and concerned, "purely for the purpose of defrauding the creditor of tbe Globe Savlnga bank and the Globe Loan and Truat company, and to afford the means and machinery '-9 transfer tha prop, arty and assets of the said several cor poration from one ta another, Indiscrlm. inately and interchangeably." aome Sample Case. In support of thla allegation the plaintiff relates the history of several Illustrative case. He states that Wlllism J. Ijams and wife, on June 7, 1892, mortgaged lot In Oak Knoll east of Omaha to the Globe Loan and Truat company tor 111,000. and that on June 15, just eight days later, tha trust company assigned and conveyed tbe mortgage to the Llnwood Park Land com pany, but without consideration, and that aa part of the scheme to hinder tbe cred itors the Llnwood company brought an ac tion In the district court In Douglas county ta foreclose the mortgage, and did fore close it. but on February 17, 1900, pre- tended to aell and convey part of It to th Putnam company, which company, without compensation, pretended to sell a part of this part. November 17, 1900, to tbe Henry ton company, which haa since had the title recorded aa being In it. Another instance cited involves the loca tion of tha present Sherman-McConnell drugstore at Sixteenth and Dodge streets. Concerning this the plaintiff says that on October 2, 1890, Thomss C. Bruner and bla wife owned a certain leasehold estate of ninety-five yeara from March 1. 1893, la and to the north twenty-two feet of lot 1 of block 7. Omaha, and assigned the same to oaa H. H. Mrlrtyre of Randolph. Vt., for 118.600; that on October 11, 1890, or Just Bin days after th flrst deal, and for tSfi.OOO, Mclatyr transferred this leaaehold to th Glob Building company, who bad it ao recorded; that in reality Melntyre was only a tool for the Taylora and Deveiies, wbe wer tha real purchaser from th Bmnera, and that they organised th Glob Building company "for th ex. pres pure of holding th legal title la such a condition that It could aot b levied upea by th ered Iters f th said Glut Loan asd Trust company ta aaid Taylor and Deveries." rlalntiff fur ther avers that, although incorporated, the Globe Building company never transacted any business, except the receiving and holding of this lessehold. It wss to atop the payment to it of 1200, April rent, that the order directed to the Sherman-McConnell firm, which aublessed from tbe Globe company twe yeara ago, was secured yes terday. Eventually plaintiff hope to have the rent seised and appropriated to the, aettlemeat ot the Judgment. Object ot l.lnwood Company. The object of tbe Linwood Park company is assslled in another article ot the peti tion. The plaintiff avers that the Globe Savings bank held mortgagee that were good, but that before the failure they were ostensibly traded to the Llnwood company, and that the creditors of tbe bank have not been paid a cent, nor aettled w ith except In a few Instances wherein they were Induced to accept property at a very high valuation and paying to tbe Taylors tbe difference in money. Ot the property transfer, plaintiff saya that of tbe thirty-seven lots supposed to have been exchanged tor the (13.705.90 worth of mortgages, it does not appear on the county records that tbe title of any or them was transferred to the savings bank or to anyone in trust for the back, and plaintiff believes tbst the Taylor and tbe Globe Loan and Trust company appropri ated the mortgages. Against Devrles. who died February 2", 1900, plaintiff charges that he defrauded his creditors by having bis property shifted to hla wife, Emma, by pretended convey ance of it to tbe Llnwood company, which passed It on to the Henryton company, which In turn passed it to her. Plaintiff charges also that Cadet Taylor had Selma Stein, of whom he bought lot 7, In block 342. Omaha, convey the property to hla aon, W. C. Taylor, although the only consideration paid waa that paid by Cadet Taylor. Jennie M. Grant figures as a defendant because she has, or appears to bare, a $4,000 mortgage lien on the lot which, If It haa been paid,, tbe plaintiff wishes re leased upon the county's record to clear the decks for the legal tussle with the Taylora. The Weckerly claim Is only one of many which Cadet Taylor baa been evading by rendering himself judgment proof through these transfer of property belonging to the defunct Institution he wrecked.
