A Serious Complication II the Trust Has
m No legal Existence.
PEORIA, Ills, May IA gentleman
prominently identified with the distill-
ing interests and on friendly terms with
Receiver McNulta, says the decision is
expected daily by the supreme court in
the quo warranto case, and should it be
decided that the Distilling and Cattle
Feeding company is not a legal corpora
ton, then it would be a question whom
the distilleries belong to. They might
be claimed by former owners, although
they We're paid in full outright for the
houses, while the land was leased to
the company. In such emergency it is
wise, to have the property guarded by
officers of the court, and this is the
reason the gentleman thought the dep.
uty marshals were appointed.
When Jacob Woolner, ex.distiller,
was accused loosely Of being the dy-
namiter, he replied Il want my prop
erty back; do not want it destroyed. ="

ern peninsula and upper portions of the
