LITIGATION OVER MANAWA
Creditors of Old Company A.ik that 8aU bj

ASSERT THAT BIG PROFIT WAS MADE
Denies that Property ETr Passed to
Trustee, aa Ordered by the
Court In Receivership
Citie,
Edson Rich of Omaha, as assignee of a
large number of claims against the old
Lake Manawa Railway company, filed In
the district court yesterday a petition ask
ing that the order and Judgment of August
IS, 1899, authorising Charles R. Hannan, re
ceiver, to sell the property to J. D. Ed
mundson, as trustee for the Citizens State
bank of Council Bluffs, bo set aside.
Charles R. Hannan, at that time cashier
of the Citizens State bank, was appointed
receiver of the Lake Manawa Railway com
pany and the resort at the lake on June 1,
1896, the bank being the largest creditor
of Colonel F. C. Reed, the owner of the
railroad and lake rerori. In August, 1899,
Receiver Hannan was authorised by the
court to sell the property to J. D. Edmund
son, then president of the Citizens State
bank, as trustee for the bank, for $17,600,
it being shown to the court In the report
of the receiver that this was the best bid
he could obtain.
Edson Rich, In his petition Bled yester-,
day, alleges that this sale was fraudulent
and that Receiver Hannan never collected
the purchase price from Edmundson, and,
further, that no title to the property ever
passed to Edmundson, but that Hanpan con
tinued for some time after to operate the
railroad and resort and to charge the cost
of operating same against the estate. It Is
further alleged that during this time Han
nan was in fact negotiating for the sale of
the property, and In 1900 did sell It to Gur
don Wattles of Omaha for the sum of $45.
000, and that the difference between the
$17,500 and the $46,000 was wrongfully con
verted and not applied to the payment Of
the claims against the property.

MARSH ALLTOWN, la.. Nov. 15. (Spe
cial.) A newspaper clipping referring to
the somewhat romantic marriage of W. P.
Watson at the fire station in this city a few
weeks ago has been the means of reuniting
Watson and his mother. Watson had not
seen his mother for seventeen years and
supposed she was long since i dead. She
separated from her husband and their three
children became separated. W. P. Watson
wss sent to the Orphans' home at Daven
port. It has been many years since any of
the children had heard from or seen their
mother and all believed she 'was desd. At
the time ot Watson's marriage here the
newspapers gave it considerable prom
inence, owing to the fact that they were
married at the fire station and sa a sort of
Joke the couple were taken for a ride about
the city on the fire company's new book and
ladder wagon. Mrs. Moore saw the account
In an Illinois paper and wrote to the cap
tain of the central station Inquiring about
Watson and his people. The three children
are planning for a happy reunion in this
city in the near future with tbelr mother.

A Long Smoke!
A Good Smoke!
That is what you get when you buy your
cigars at our store. We have the favorite
brands of the market aiming at all times
to keep the best. There's a whole lot
about cigars that the average smoker
doesn't know, even it he thinks' he does.
Some of the bsd things about these things
that he doesn't know is that sometimes he
pays his money out for the cheapest kind
of a cigar, thinking he is getting the worth
of his money. He smokes It, Is satisfied
and that's all there Is to It except the man
who sold the cigar made a cent or two
extra by putting an inferior article off on
him. We don't make our money In this
manner. Tou can send a child to our store
for a good cigar and it will get the beet we
have.
Our motto Is: If you sell cigars, sell the
best.
