LEGAL BATTLE OVER PIANOS

t'oa. . . . .
When Judge Smith McPheron convenes
the special session of federal court In Coun
cil Bluffs Saturday he will be called to act
upon the application of fourteen creditors
of the Perfleld Piano company of Omaha,
who desire to file petitions of Intervention
in the I'nlted States court.
Twenty-eight planoa are involved In the
petitions of Intervention. They once formed
part of the atock of the Perfleld company,
and Just previous to the appointment of a
receiver for the company were brought to
Council Bluffs in moving vsns and placed
over night In various storage houses. They
were replevlned the next day . by the re
ceiver, who furnnlshed a bond for twice
their value.
The creditors who appear as plaintiffs In
the petitions of Intervention contend that
the Instruments were owned by them and
were In their actual possession when the
writ of replevin was Issued, and further
thst they were misled by the representa
tions of the Perfleld company as to 'It
financial standing. They allege that s soon
as they learned of the fact that the com
pany waa Insolvent they made a demand
for the return of the Instruments, which
was done. The petitioners also deny that
there was any preference given their claims
as the return to them of their property
alleged to have been secured under misrep
resentation did not constitute a preference
within the meaning of the atatute aa con
tended by the receiver In the replevin suit
It is contended that the property In con-
troversy wss turned over to the rightful
owners before the bankruptcy proceedings
were begun artd the plaintiffs In Interven
tlon demand that they be given Judgment
against the receiver and lb, company, fur
nlshlng his bond In the replevin action.

I feel that you are sincere when you say
that you do not want a nomination in-
then. That you would accept the vole of
th counties I have named, or take the
nomination from a convention that had
refused Polk county the right of repre
sentation, or that had exoelled the dele
gates from other counties on account of
th time at which their delegatea were
chosen? I know the high standards which
yon recognise, and I ask you, aa a fellow
man and a fellow republican. Could you. In
good faith, assert before any board of
arbitration- or before the state conven
lion that there is -any honest, fair dis
fiute concerning the title of the delegate

which 1 hav referred?
