Kaploeloa at Swifts.
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

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

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

Maka Sweeping Allegation!.
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.
