(WITE A LIVELY MEETING HELD Omaha A Central Nebraska Hallway Company Elects New Directors, apposed to Be m Com promise Board. "Whit txeame of the K4.0O0?" This Is the slogan of the annual meet ing of the stockholders of the Omaha ft Nebraska Central Railway company, a con cern organized a couple of yer ago to build an electric line between Omaha and Hastings. The meeting is being held In parlor A at the Merchants hotel. Its first session Tuesday adjourned until evening so a decision could be had from Judge Kennedy of the district court as to whether the pres ent directors could vote $SO,000 worth of promotion stock voted to each of them. Judge Kennedy ruled that they could vote the stock at this time but also stated that when the trial of the case was held on its merits the entire proceedings would be declsred void. The case was on applica tion of Frank Wunderllck of Holdrege to prevent Anthony Texther, George A. Barr and Chtrles H. Detter from voting the stock. Nearly 100 stockholders of the concern, most of them Nebraska farmers met at the Merchants to try to solve the tangle of the affairs of the company and Incidentally- to try to find out what had become of the JSt.Ono which is missing. It developed that JW.000 was collected by selling stock, and only $.000 of this amount accounted for. The first trouble of the meeting started when C. J. Helm of South Omaha wmted a report on what had become of the $54,000, and wanted to have the matter investi gated. A committee consisting of C. J. Klnsler and C. H. Detter of Omaha and F. E. Schsaf of Lincoln was selected on cre dentlil to determine who should be per mitted to vote at the meeting. Contest Over Baker Voting;. A contest developed over whether C. J. Baker should be permitted to vote 800 shares of stock which the directors, Emll Ganz. C. II. Detter, Anthony Texther and H. M. M. Barr, had declared forfeited last September, the action being taken to settle an alleged shortage of 1,60(. Baker settled thit dispute by withdrawing the voting privilege of the stock. An attempt was then made to have a committee or five, other than the present board of directors, audit the books of the company, but this question was side stepped and tabled. J. W. Ege and his associates, who have asked for a receiver of the company, said that If an Impartial board of directors could be selected and the affairs of the company handled In a business like way the receiver suit would be held In abeyance. It developed In the meeting that the JB4. 000 had been spent In salaries for officers and In expenses on different trips ' to Boston In the promotion of the company. At the meeting Wednesday morning a new board of directors was selected and It Is thought the new board will be a com promise between the different factions and that the matters of the company can be straightened out. Henry G. Meyers Is at torney for the receivers. The new board consists of F. K. Brady of Omaha. William Wunderllc.h of Holdrege. Henry Long of Boston. C. H. Frlcke or Osceola.

The Union Pacific motor car from Valley was on time. The Rock Island west bound was Two hours late. The Western Union was able to keep wires working In all directions, although wires in many places were snapped by the contraction from the cold. These In stances were so scarce thst the service was not seriously Interfered with. The Postal reported that very few of Its wires were out of commission. Both telephone ( companies reported a lack of trouble. Tho wind and snow made It extremely hard on the street railway company. Snopr and dirt would accumulate on the rails until It waa a difficult matter to ground the current. The sweepers were called Into service and the salt ear sent Out, bill the thermometer showing 10 or 12 below zero did not help much, as It did not assist In melting the snow because of the ex treme cold. CATTLE OS RANGES ALL RIGHT No SaaTerlna; as let, Says Ed Rosa of Gordon. "Cattle on the ranges are not suffering.'' said Ed Ross of Gordon, who was at the Merchants Wednesday, "I have lived on the plains for over twenty-five yeara and have not seen any cattle lost from poverty since the ranchmen began to put up hay. The only liability from loas is In Matt severe storms, cold with a high wind, when the cattle are liable to get to drift ing and run Into some lake or get flound ered In a snow bank when the weaker are apt to have trouble In getting out. We have had it much colder than this in northwestern Nebraska without any loss of cattle. The Northwestern has had no report of cattle losses from the range section. ' Bee Want Ads.
