'A suit to obtain r-ormenelon of BOO acre of Valuable city property In Omaha, covered by streets, htmes and building of various kinds. Is to lie started In the federal court by heirs of the late George Francis Train. The property Involved Is estimated to bs worth from 130,000,000 to $W,O00,X, and Is bounded, roughly, by the Union Pacific tracks. Twentieth street, Vtoiton' street and the Missouri river.- It IS an immense sec tion of the most ' thickly populated of the south side. . The property ai bought In 1SS5 by George Francis Train, then, in the zenith of his cnroer as a. financier of the -Union Pacific railroad and boomer of Omaha and the west. It passed out of his .hands on mortgage forocloiwre : proceeding and now the heirs propose to- Te-wer the value of ths land or Its equivalent In money on the ground that George Francis. Train was de clared a lunatic by tbs New York courts and no provision made, , for , the protection of his property rights. . , "' on of Tratw la Omaha. Elsey McHenry Train, ths second son of the dead eccentric, accompanied by his wife, arrived In Omaha' yesterday,' 'and After a conference with Geprge P. Bemls, a nephew of the elder Train, and associated with hmi In many enterprises, 'decided to bring the suit, "WV Jf. ' Council being re tained as counsel. " ,.' U ' '' The" proceedings 'will be' in the federal court and will lfeHfrnlnst Kounr Bros., the powerful fnnntlal 'Arm of New York And Omaha, and : Samuel . E.

Elsey McHenry Train 6f Decatur, Midi., and George Fran cis Train Guhger; ' a' 6-year-old orphan grandson. I iShould ilio effort bs successful It Is believed by those undertaking the suit that Kountze Bros., and Samuel E. Rogers will have to bear the damnife and loss,-' owing to ' the guarantees of tltlo ao eompenylng the land when it was divided fend sold. Its possession now being vested la thousands of home owners and others. Delayed to Shield Father. -The suit would have been Instituted long ago," said Elscy McHenry Train, "wero It not . for the tact that the matter of my father's sanity, would ha ve been called Uto question. r; Rather than distress and twharraea him by the national pub- lclty which would be given to the case. I the heirs decided to wait unui nis aeaia and then begin proceedings. Lawyers have told us that we . are - certain to win the case, as 'the-decree of 'Judge Noah Davla of Newn-Ysrk . declaring George Francis Train of unsound mind still exists. "The laws require that before the prop erty of an Insane person can be taken aw Ay from him, a guardian must bs appointed'-.' audi hl interests safeguarded. This never was dons, the Omaha property being foreclosed, while he was Incarcerated In the Yombs prison New - York, in ths winter of 187:1-73, the children being minors and I myself in Switzerland.-' Our conten tion is that the foreclosure-and subsequent ale la 1875 was without Bus process of law, as' against a .person who had -been dsolarsdtiJsMaiuobyi tbs eeurts." ') 7 alt keeails Mach of Interest. 1 Ths present suit . recalls . much history that at ths time awakened national Inter est. It was ' the Henry Ward Beecher Tllton trial that caused the 'arrest and Im prisonment' Of Train. Mrs. Virginia Wood hull and Mrs. Clafiin, taow Lady Cook, had begun the attack on the famous 'pastor of Plymouth church, Brooklyn. Train, aroused by the aoeusatlon that the women were publishing obscene' matter, leaped to their support. In his own 'publication, the Train League, he began to print excerpts from the' Bible as an ironio commentary on . what might be considered obscene. Ths JNw York Young Men's Christian associa tion, "by Its president. William E. Dodge, aid Anthony Comstock, had Train arrested and thrown In the Tombs prison, where he ' Jjuit-ulbhed for six months. The charge of -sending obsosne matter through the malls was never pressed, but Insanity proceed ings. Were started, and on the testimony of . export a decree was entered pronouncing again t hie sanity. Efforts to save htm ' from, a mad house were successful and be osoapeO, declaring many times 'afterward that he was the only regularly licensed tunatlo in the "world, ' Mr, and Mrs. Klsey McHenry Train are enrotrte to Ban Francisco to visit George rrartels Train, Jr. Returning- they will top t the world's fair.

The plaintiff makes these allegations In his petition: Ordinance No. 1935 was passed by the dty council of Omaha December 14, 18-Jt, which granted CuDer E. -Yot. F.dKtir M. Murtman and associate authority to lay pipes, for ftirr.tahlng beat snd power, with authority to acoulre ai ind hold franchises and such personal and real property as may be necessry for transacting the business of a ruel gns company.

However, , the plaintiff Is now about 'to submit plans pursuant to or dinance No. 1936 and desires to now oocupy certain 'streets and alleys of the city of Omaha for the purpose of laying gas pipes under thesorovislons of that ordinance for gas for all of. the inhabitants of the city of Omaha. , The mayor of the city of Omaha and its active officers refuse to allow, and ' if need be will arrest the plaintiff or his employes to prevent them Xrom laying the gas pipes under the ordinance No. 1935, as the mayor and council claim that ordinance No. 4160 Is a .legal ordinance and that it has repealed .ordinance JJo. 1935.

Pollee Are Asked to Take Seek Steps as Will Satisfy tke Demands of . Jastlce and Irate Italian's . There Is sorrow In ths home of Qiavonl Sporettl, an Italian organ grinder. Wednes day afternoon Sporettl appeared at the po lice station and told a story as full . of pathos and humor as a school boy's pockets are with marbles. For years the Italian made a living In Omaha and throughout the sta,te with, his organ and monkey, the latter named "Sven galL" By careful economy Sporettl saved enough money , to enable him to take a trip back to Italy. He left about two months ago and returned last Monday, .leaving "Svengall" In she care of James McClosky, an old fisherman living on East Howard street, near the railroad tpacksr McCloeky , was to look after the material and spiritual wellfare of tbs animal and return him tn as good condition as wjjen received, which Sporettl maintains was not done. The let ter now. wants ths wheels of Justice turned several times at the police station In his behalf. Not the Monkey He Used , According to the stories told, ths monke was staked out in McClosky's yard, within a stone's throw of the trckx. Train crews, it Is said, took particular delight In hurling pieces of coal at ths monkey to see the little animal perform antics, think ing the precious nuggets of anthracite ware mere cocoanuts. On various occasions the aim of the railroad employes was not half bad, with the result that the monkey fared badly at their hands. When Sporettl returned the . other day and called for his, monkey a Sorry sight met his vlBlon. Instead of the bright and cheerful greeting he had been wont to re ceive from '."Svengall" the monkey was dejected and melancholy and looked- as If life, held but little for him. "Bvengall was sans one eye, caudal appendage and a leg; had several vacant spots on his .body; was walking with a crutch, and suggested a battle-scarred veteran waiting , for the pension examiner. ' . Further than this Glavonl "Sporettl main tains that ."Svengall" stored away more than a ton of coal for MaClusky( more than enough to pay for the animal's keep. And In view" of the allegations Glavonl Sporettl thinks a charge of criminal negli gence should be entered against the man who he says Ill-treated his monkey. The police department Is thinking the matter over. . . EIGHT NEW ; POSTAL CLERKS Addition Made to PostolBce- Force Will Make Possible More Convenient Honrs.
