The Rock Island Foreclosure Suit.


Last Monday Q meeting OF county
officials Of counties which hold stock
la the Chicago, Kansas h Nebraska
railway company and which are
making a fight against the Rock
Island foreclosure proceedings now
pending i'm the United States cirruiI
court, was held at the Copeland IN
Topeka to complete arrangements
for making the fight. They are now
In good shape to make big fight
aud believe they can show beyond
any question that the foreclosure
suit instituted by the Metropolitan
Trust company is simply q scheme
on the part Of the Rock Island To
freeze out the municipal stock
holders and rob them OF about
3, ;OO,O0 Of stock for which they
paid 100 cents on the dollar. Judge
Brewer has granted the various
municipalities leave TO file a cross
bill this will be filed within n day
ar two and will probably be quite an
interesting document.
or The twenty counties which hold
Chicago, Kansas Il Nebraska stock,
all but two Shawnee and Sherman
have gone in To fight the fore
closure, and all were represented at
yesterdays meeting except these
two counties. Shawnee has been
invited TO join the other counties,
but the county officials have failed
To respond. The representatives Of
other counties are quite indignant
ut the action Of Shawnee county In
this matter. Saline county was re-
presented at the meeting by COM
