THE BEAR VALLEY CASE.


The Big Enslish Creditors Ask for n
Sale OF the Property.
Quito an interesting argument was
made before Judge Ross yesterday in
the United States circuit court in the
Bear Valley Irrigation company CAGE, by
JEFF Chandler, esq, formerly of St.
Louis, and one OF it's brilliant attorneys.
He appeared on behalf of James Gilbert
Foster of England, one of the largest
creditors OF the company, his judgment
being for something over $500. 200.
Mr.. Chandler spoke upon a motion
asking for q decree and order of sale of
tbs property. He wanted the judgmen mt
OF his client to be held by the court
prior to all other claims, although it
was secured after others were granted.
He claimed that his client was in a poei.
ton to handle the property if a. clear
title could be secured by sale OF the
court, and that it would be to the best
interests OF all the creditors that such a
procedure ehould be taken. He told the
court that MIR. Foster or others stood
ready in event such an order to put up
large sum of money necessary for the
improvement OF the property and carry
it to a great success, and claimed that as
b
how able the receivers.
Mr.. Chandler stated that the other
creditors had shown an undue speculate
i've tendency, and he said that seeing
the English creditors were trying to OBJ
tain possession of the property, they
had acted as though they desired to get
them in tight place. They had not
taken the step he had taken, although
entitled to do so, and should only bs
allowed to come in sitter the sale and ad-
iustnent of Mr.. Fosters claim. There
was no disposition on the part of his
client to ignore the othsr claims. but his
should come first. He contended that
the court was possessed of ample power
to adopt the course he urged.
There we're no arguments in opposi-
ton to the motion, and Judge Ross took
tho matter under advHemest.

Mr.. Nickell-I believe every man
here should do his duty. and do not
believe this question OF sprinkling the
thoroughfares leading into the city
should be raised here in order to choke of
an effort to cut out an unnecessary city
official and place the work in the street

against sprinkling graded streets. Now
let us take vote on sprinkiing graded

deferred until the afternoon session was
then voted down.

that the work shall be done under the
direction of the superintendent Of street
sprinkling.
ANOTHER CLAUSE STRUCK OUT.
Mr.. Munson stated that he was will
ing to assent to this arrangement, when
the question was raised that the motion
Of MIR. Munson to strike out all ungrad-
| ed streets had precedence. 1t was voted
down and the council then voted to
strike out the clause requiring the street
sprinkling to be done under the diIec-

The matter of opening Thirty.second
street was laid over for one week.
Judge Gardiner, on behalf of property
owners on the alley back of the Express
Office. stated that he wanted time to
bring the matter before the courts on an
injunction, to have the matter settled
there. He wanted the council to revoke
the order directing the street superin-
tendent to tear down the fence. The

A motion was adopted directing the
city engineer to prepare plans for =

ed to place 4.inch water pipe on New

lowing report:
Recommending that the city attorney
DO instructed to bring in an ordinance
amending ordinance No. 1882, being the

one.
THE AUCTIoNEERS.
Mr.. Munson wanted TO insert an
amendment that auotioneers be required
to pay their license one year in edvspce.
The amendment was lost.
Mr.. iced then moved that the under.
takers be required to pay a license.
"An undertaken" said Mr.. iced, 'has
the eoftest snap in the world. They put
SIS worth of embalming fluid in a body
snd send in bill for 5000. If they are
not satisfied to pay license they
should go elsewhere"
Mr.. Rhodes-The undertakers are on
the same plane as the merchants and
they should not be required to pay
license.
"There ia no comparison between the
business OF an undertaken and that of q
merchant. 1t ia the easiest business in
the world and pays the largeat profits, !"
replied Mr.. iced.
On vote the undertakers were re.
tanned on the license list.
Mr.. Muuson then moved that the auc-

LA PORTE, Ind, Dec. ga long con-

fering in places. Water has to be hauled
miles for domestic purposes. For months
stock has suffered greatly from thirst,

financial embarrassment to farmers. This
trouble has been particularly severe
along the widespread and low lying
marsh lands of the Kankakee River
Added to this trouble, much OF the coun-
try has been scourged by fire running over
st.. Thousands OF acres OF these marsh
lands have been burned over and often
the dry peaty soil has burned to the depth
OF 10 feet, forming great chasms in the
otherwise level plain. The heat
from some OF these burning pits
almost surpasses belief and near approach
to them is impossible, save from the wind
ward when there is heavy gale. This
section Of the country is traversed by

Three Men Murdered During Fierce
Quarrel.

ATHENS, Ga, Dec. 5.-There was big
low last night at Maxey's Station, on tho
Georgia road, in which two men lost
their lives and one more lies at the point
OF death. 1t appears that four men
Moncrief, Lin Williams, Perry Riordan
and Henry Williams-were on regu-
lar drunken stampede through Maxey,
and that they fell out over some old
matter of difference between them.
They were soon involved in a deadly en-
counter. One of the Williams had a
doub barreled shot gun and poured the
contents of both barrels into Moncrief's
head. Moncrief fell dead. Lin Williams
had . piece OF his nose sliced
of. While this was going on
Henry Williams and Riordan were
carving each other with their knives.
Henry Williams stabbed Riordan several
times through the breast, from the effects
of which Riordan died in a few minutes.
Riordan got In some rapid work himself
and Henry Williams came out OF the fray
minus an ear and with his head badly cut.
He will die from the wounds he received.
