Weatberar's Cnmnaia-n Biography. Ia each of the municipal campaigns since 1896 biographical sketches of Mr. Westberg have appeared in the public prints. These sketches tell us that tha subject was born In Sweden In 1861, came to America In 1867. to Nebraska In 1874 and to Omaha In 1879. All of the campaign biographies cover the period from 1885 to 1892 by stating that westberg wss a member of the firm of August Benson Co., but a reference to the Omaha city directories for 1890 and 1891 shows that Mr. Westberg, In prepar ing bis campaign sketches, must have stretched the Benson engagement aome. tor no auch firm was then In exiatencs. Mr. Benson had by that time gone out of the Ice business and Into the resl estate trade. The directories show that West- berg was no longer a partner of Mr. Ben son, but was secretary snd treasurer of tho Oate City Ice company, of which Benjamin Melqulat was president and Peter D. Matt- son was vice president. The Bee wss there fore tempted to Investigate first that part of Mr. Weatberg's record which he had slighted In his campaign sketches. It was impossible to learn anything per taining to Westberg's retirement from the Benson firm, for Mr. Benson died some years ago. Mr. Melqulat and Mr. Mattson. the partners of Westberg In the Oate City Ice company, are still living In Omaha and both were found willing to talk of their business relations with Westberg. Story of One Partner. Mr. Melqulat Is the proprietor of the Nebraska Stone company at Fifth and Jones streets and lives at 152S South Twenty seventh street. To a Bee reporter he said: "I was not an activs partner ia the Gats City Ice company, but I was one of the three stockholders and president, while Mr. Westberg owned a slight majority of ths stock and had control of the business as secretary and treasurer of the company. When I went into the Ice compsny I had a prosperous stone buclness and owned from 35,000 to $40,000 of good property, and when I came out of It I had nothing. In the winter the company would borrow money from the bank to put up loe. In the summer the Ice would be sold and In the fall. Instead of having the proceeds of the salea to pay the notes at the bank the company would have nothing. I don't know what became of the .money, but I suppose a part of It was apent for run ning expenses and the remainder went to Mr. Westberg. At any rate Mr. Westberg, as manager of the business, waa unable lo taks ears of the company's obligations. The n6tes had been algned by the com pany as such and by me and Westberg as Individuals. When the smash came West berg had no money to pay about $14,000 of notes and I had to stand for them. I was the 'good' man on the paper and the hold ers took my property. "This unexpected burden from the tee company's failure involved ma so hesvlly that I was unable to care for my obllga tloss ia my other business snd consequently I was ruined. I had to begla all over again In the stone business. ' Held YVeatberg-'s Koto. "As I had to pay the Ice company's dbts, I also became the possessor of Its ssets which consisted principally of Mr. West berg's personal notes In ths sum of 6,0Q0. These notes had been issued to the lea compsny by Mr. Wss t berg to cover, an overdraft In his account with tte oom pany. After a number of unsuccessful at tempts to collect this 14.000 from Mr. West berg after he bad become a city official, the matter was Anally, disposed of In the spring of 1M0. Then my Iswyer told me that as Westberg waa a candidate for re-election It would be a good time to make another attempt to collect the notes. Ths lawyer found that Westberg was anxious to keep all knowledge of the affair trom the public and would do what he could to avoid pub licity. After considerable dickering West berg told the lawyer be would pay $300 for the notes, which, mind you, amounted to $4,000. We thought we had better take the 1 1300, for as a matter of fact we had given up ail nope oi ever gcuing n crui, aau tue $300 we considered Just like finding so much money. When It came to a settlement, however, we bad to take $50 In caah and five notes, payable one each month, for $30 each. These notes came due after the election and I held them some time, but was unable to get any payment out of Westberg. Finally I turned the paper over to another party, and I don't know whether Westberg has settled or not." Soaked for a Thousand. Peter D. Mattson, who Is now employed as Janitor at the federal building, said: I owned $3,500 of stock In the Oate City Ice company, of which John Westberg wss secretary and treaaurer. My experience with Mr. Westberg in this business was very unsatisfactory, to aay the least. At one time I sold a lot In South Omaha for $1,100 In cash tor the purpose of making an Inveatment In soms property at Fortieth and Farnam street. I got the caah from tha South Omaha property before tha Farnam street deal waa ready to close and West berg knew it. Westberg asked me to let the Ice company have $1,000, but I told him that I was expecting the Farnam street deal any day and would have to keep the money for It. He told me the ice company would need the use of the money tor only a few days, and promised that ha would return It to me on demsnj It I would let htm have it. Reluctantly I let him take the thousand dollars, but with the clear understanding that I waa to get It back at any time I called for It. Pres ently the Farnam atreet deal was ready and I called upon Westberg for my ip-.ney. He tola me ne couian t pay it, ana when I reminded him of the solemn promise he hsd made to return the money on demand, he got abusive and told me to go to h I. I never saw a cent of that $1,000 from tho day I gave It to Westberg." What Weather Says. The statements made by Mr. Melqulat and Mr. Mattson were related by a Bee reporter to Mr. Westberg, who said. In reply: "Those stories ars all right as far aa they go, but they do not cover the whole ground. It la all a matter of business misfortune. In which ws all lost money. When tho Oate City Ice company waa formed I put In $15,600 worth of property, and It was un derstood among ths stockholders thst I was to tske $6,000 out of the company to pay oft my Indebtedneas at that time. If we bad made money all would have been well, but aa It was we lost, and I was unable to taks care of the $4,000 obligation. "At the time Melqulat undertook to col lect the notes Just before an election I thought It might hurt me to let the matter get out and so I went and borrowed $50 and paid It to him and gave htm notes tor $250, with a mental reservation never to pay tha notes, because I considered It merely a casa of blackmail. "As to Mr. Mattson's story I will say that It Is true that he loaned the company that $1,000. but he did It with a full under standing of the company's condition and It is no fault of mlns that hs lost the money. "The $350 cf notes given to Melqulst for ths $6,000 (obligation were divided between clir.eelt and bis lawyer. I have paid those held by tha lawyer and thoae Melqulat got he turned over to U. A. Lindqulst and them because Lindqulst made me had by telling me to fork over that money before he would atgn my official bond. Oh, I've been paying for dead horses la this town long enough. Where I made a mistake was In not aklng advantage of the bankruptcy law long ago." Hla Present Enterprises. It will be noticed that Mr. Westberg re marks thst he hss been paying for desd horses, but the fsct remains thst the "dead horses" of the Gate City Ice company have never been paid for. Westberg pleads bus iness misfortune and poverty aa the ex cuses for not meeting his obligations, but during the last year or so he haa had suffi cient means to invest In speculative enter prises, as hs Is a heavy atockbolder and secretary of the Omaha-Wyoming Oil com pany and the Uintah Petroleum company. The Omaha-Wyoming company owna 11,180 acres of land In Uintah county, Wyoming, and the other owns 640 acres In the same territory. Both companlea are represented by Westberg to be substantial concefna. Edward Walker, former mayor of Flor ence and now a farmer two miles north of that town, la another sufferer through hav ing had confidence tn John N. Westberg. The Walker atory waa well told by West berg when In conversation with a Bee re porter on the strset seversl dsys ago. "It seems that you have been looking for Mr. Walker," began Wesberg. "That old I fellow Is pretty foxy. As soon as he heard that The Bee was looking up his story hs came into town and asked me to pay him $100. He told me that $100 now would do him more good than it I had paid the $1,000 note which be endorsed for me some years ago, but I had to turn him down, becauae I really didn't have the money. To be frank with you I haven't got a dollar, but I've got friends who ars willing to put up the money necessary for my campaign. Now, to tell the truth, I feel sorry for old man Walker he loat everything he had, but then I'm not to blame. He went on my note willingly. I met him on the street and asked him to step Into the bank and sign with me for $1,000. NHe thought I wss good for It. and ao did I at that time, but misfortune came and the note had to go by the board." WARSHIP TURNS PIRATE Honiara Gunboat Sendi Troopt to Board Norwegian Steamer. ORDERS MERCHANTMAN INTO ISLAND PORT Seised Vessel Ousts Troops and Es capes I'nder Cover of Darkness, Flnallr Bearhlns New Or leans Via Celba. NEW ORLEANS, April 8. The Nor wegian steamer David, which arrived to day from Cuba, Spanish Hondurss, reports a dastardly attempt to override the Inter national law regarding the rights of neu trals by Colonel Vllarde, commanding tho Honduran gunboat Tatumbla. David waa cruising off Utllla waiting for a pilot to take It to Celba when the war ship hove in sight and ordered the steamer to put Into the island. The better to en force this command Colonel C. Vllarde put half a dosen soldiers on board and watched David head for shore. Fortunately night fell before the harbor was reached and David anchored off shore as If intending to enter the rosds In the morning. Instead of this, however, ad vantage was taken of the darkness to get rid of the troops and make all steam for Celba. Captain Wamecke was much put out over the Incident and although at a loss to defin itely assign a reason for the Honduran commander's strange action, he still hss many conjectures. His chief fesr wss thst he would be compelled either to relinquish all his coal or transport troops for the Honduran government. Very Lon Rates To points In Montana. Idaho, Washington, Oregon.

Tannv and Henrietta Elliott, living at ta North Thirteenth street, disturbed the PART OF THE KLAN'S CAMPAIGN Dlsa-rareful Efforts to lecnre Votes Resorted to by the And Moores Element. One of the striking features of the Go pher Klan's campaign was exhibited to the cltlsens yesterday. Someone, presumsbly the "general committee," equipped a wagon with a pair ot sorry plugs and a six-piece braes band, and sent it about the city streets to discourse such lively airs as "There'll Be a Hot Time," and the like, to attract attention to the banners which decorated the sides of the wsgon. On these were painted with a marking brush what is supposed to be a representstlon of a hoc. Under it this Inscription: "We are not for Moores tor a third term. Are you?' Who the "we" might be Is left to con Jecture for no one could be seen in con nection with the wsgon savs the driver, and the only evidence thst It waa occupied was afforded by the dolorous noises msde by ths brass Instruments spasmodically blown by the concealed "musicians."- The general appearance ot the outfit and Its artistic ensemble lesds to the suspicion that it is a conception of the asms es thstle brain that devised the beautiful Mercer poster, that charming study In black and white which decorated the bill boards lust before election last fall. It Is certain that the announcement that "we' are not for Mayor Moores enabled many decent people to make up their minds te vote for him. I Vetera rires Meet.
