PACIFIC SHORT LINE,
1t Had a Most Sensational and Pre-
carious Existence.

Omaha, Dec. 9.-The order of Judge
Caldwell, of the United States court,
handed down in st. Louis yesterday,
ordering the. sale of the Sioux City,
O'Neil & Western railroad (the Pacific
Short Line), to satisfy a judgment in
favor of the Manhattan Trust company
of New York, ends a long line of intri-
cate legal. proceedings, covering several
years and is the outgrowth of the SEN
sational failure of the Union Trust
company of Sioux City.
The case became complicated through
the efforts of large number of New
England creditors TO establish prior
claim to the road and it's assets. When
the Union Trust company, of Sioux
civ, was electrifying the east with its
brilliant strokes of finance, it disposed
of a large amount of commercial paper
to New England investors, claiming to
hold $1,000, 900 of the Sioux City, O'Neill
& Western bonds in its vaults as Sc
curity.
When the Union Trust company col
laased it was discovered that the bonds
in question were held 10y the Manhat-
tan Trust company, in trust for ]. Ken
nedy Todd & Co, as beneficiaries. The
Manhattan company brought suit TO
fore.lose the road. and the New Eng
land people, who had been led into the
numerous projects by the Union trust
company, of Sioux City, endeavored to
establish a prior claim to the bonds.
They first went before Judge Caldwell,
at St. Paul, and fled an answer to the
Manhattan mpany''s petition, hoping
TO force thenn elves into the case. Judge
Caldwell declf ID to admit the answer.
Then they endeavored to get into the
case by filing a cross-bill, but this ef-
fort also failed AS a last resort, they
commenced suit in intervention, but
this project failed. At st. Louis the
past week the New England creditors
Of the Union Trust company were rep
resented by two distinguished attor-
neys of Boston. and they made siren
uous effort to get a foothold in the case
so as to participate in the proceeds of
the sale, but Judge Caldwell failed to
see the business of their claim and fin
ally ordered the sale of the property
for the benefit of the Manhattan Trust
company.
The Sioux City, O'Neill & Western
road has had a sensational but precar-
ious existence. 1t was built as an aid

No reply has been received to the in

prisoners it would be necessary to de-
scribe them as rebels.
