FIRE FIRST OF TROUBLES
Bankruptcy' Froceedin Etarted Aeainst
Union Transfer Company.
ACTION TAKEN TO STOP LITIGATION
I.srsnt Creditor la F.aatern Hngay
Company, Portion of W hose Claim
Is Disputed by the Trans
fer Company,
The 1'nlon Transfer company, which puf
fcred the total loss of Its stock In the fire
which destroyed Its warehouse on South
Main street last week, hits been niudo de
fendant In bankruptcy proceedings Instl
tut"d In the United States court In this
city by three creditors of the firm.
The firms which have Instituted the bank
ruptcy proceedings and the amounts l
their claims, us set forth in the petition
are; Monmouth Plow company, Monmouth
111., Jl.&oo; Wilcox Manufacturing com
pany, Aurora, 111., $721.80; Kretchmer Manu
facturing company, Council Bluffs, $117. S5
Mavne & Ilaxelton. who Bppear for the
three petitioning firms, are attorneys al
for several other creditors of the Union
Transfer company, but the naming of thes
creditors, with claims aggregating over $5u
la all that is required to bring an action
In bankruptcy against an Individual cor
lo ration.
Although not so authoritatively stated. It
is understood that the bankruptcy proceed
ings are not intended as unfriendly to
wards the Union Transfer company, but
with the purpose of assisting in a speedy
and satisfactory settlement of the com
pany's affairs. Some of the outstanding
claims against the company are disputed
and It Is figured, that the bankruptcy pro
ceedings will tend to prevent more or less
individual litigation.
It is said that with the Insurance and
outstanding book accounts, the assets of
the Union Transfer company aggregate
about $100,000, while the claims of creditors
equal If not exceed that amount slightly.
With the claims scaled down to what Man
ager W. A. Bouthard contends are correct
the company ought to have a margin of
from $20,000 to $25,000.
One of, if not the heaviest creditor. Is the
Decatur Buggy company of Middletown, O.,
which holds note of the Union Transfer
company to the amount of $50,000, against
which It admits ofTsets of $20,000 by returned
goods, etc., while Manuger Southard claims
offsets to the amount of $40,000. Mr. South
ard and Attorney Emmet Tlnley left Sat
urday evening for Middletown, O., to con
fer with the Decatur Buggy company and
try to straighten out the account.
Whether the bankruptcy proceedings will
Interfere with the company resuming busi
ness remains to be seen. In the meantime
the Union Transfer company has made tem
porary arrangements with the Great
Western railroad to occupy the second
floor of Its large freight depot on Ninth
avenue. It Is stated that most of the
company's creditors have expressed a will
ingness to do nil In their power to assist
them In resuming business.

Connell Falls to Meet.
The meeting of the city council, sched
uled for last night, failed for lack of a quo
rum. Councllmen Fleming. Maloney, Smith
and Younkerman failed for some reason
to put In an appearance and the mayor and
four councllmen after waiting until past
9 o'clock In the hope of one of the four
absent members showing up, adjourned.
Considerable disappointment was felt at
the failure to hold a meeting last night, as
several matters of Importance were sched
uled for action. It was expected that the
committee on fire and light, of which
Councilman Younkerman Is chairman,
would have presented a report relative to
the purchase of additional equipment of
the fire department. None of the members
of this committee, however, showed up.
It Is likely that Mayor Macrae may call
a special meeting to take up the matters
now pending before the Christmas holidays.

No matter how you think nor what you

Our shoes feel right because they're built

Shoes wear out readily because they fit
poorly, and when the strain falls In spots
you soon learn where the spots are.

No Sen's for Library.
Prospects for seating the auditorium of
the public library building before spring
are slim. .The Library board st Its ad
lourned regular meeting last night got no
further than to open the several bids for
the chairs and then refer them to the
committee on administration to tabulate
and report back at the January session.
iHie bids ranged from $1.25 to $2.25 for the
seats. A representative of one of the firms
Vddlng stated that no house would be able
j supply the seats before spring, and this
uts a dnmper on the proposition to have
ubllc entertainments In the auditorium
thla winter.
The matter of placing lamp posts at
he two entrances. In accordance with the
irlglnal plans, was brought up and Truste
Dean reported that his committee had
found that the cost would be $1.90. As a
compromise, It was suggested to have a
plain lamp post with a single globe at
the top or a light suspended over each
doorway. These suggestions, however, did
not meet wtih much favor and the com
mittee was finally requested to get further
estimates on lights as outlined In the archi
tect's plans.
At the suggestion of Trustee Balrd, It
was decided to purchase a suitable na
tional flag for the building.

over s saloon at 118 West Fourth street
at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The connection
with the gas stove was broken. They died
from asphyxiation. They were locked In

committed suicide by agreement. The dis
covery of the two bodies was made by
Roland Drake, the 15-year-old son of Mrs.
Drake. Finding the door to the apartment
locked, he broke It in and discovering the
dead bodies, dragged his mother to her bed
room and then took the body of Van
Hermert to his room across the hall. He

a longer time to the Industry. The south
ern division comprises all counties south
of the north line of Turner, the central
division is made up of all counties south
of the north line of Sanbirn and north of
Turner; the northern division Is comprise.!
