Objects to Increase in Craa innate.
A. L. Haeker, bead of the department I
of Dairy Husbandry at the university farm,
has wrlttuo a letter to the Stale Hallway
commission objecting to the Increase In
rates on cream as requested by the West

seme argument has been received on the
other ulda of the question. Mr. Haecker
said:

Land Lttlaatlon Commenced.
NORTH PLATTE. Neb., July 18 (Spe
olal.) A suit was filed today In the United
State circuit court In the North Platte
division to set aside the title claimed by the
North Platte Realty company and the Ne
braska, Wyoming & Western Railroad
company to 930 acres of land Just east of
this city and valued at from 160,000 to
1100.000. The bill of complaint charges
that this land became the property of Roy
B. Tabor, trustee In bankruptcy of George
W. Stewart, by virtue of the adjudica
tion in bankruptcy. It charges that the
deed which the defendants hold was de
dellvered after Stewart, who once owned
the land, became a bankrupt. It Is also
claimed that J. W. McDonald and B. M.
Westerfeldt of Lincoln and W. H. McDon
ald of North Platte entered Into a con
spiracy with certain Chicago parties to
defraud bankrupt's estate of the title of
this land. The solicitors for the complain
ants are Attorneys Wheeler, Sllber & Is.
aacs of Chicago and WUllam . Shuman
of this city. The suit draws In issue a
larger amount In value than In any law
suit filed In this county for several years,
and a lively legal fight will, no doubt,
be waged.
