who are members of the Grain Growers
Mutual Hail association, the head office OF
which is at Omaha. About 400 OF these are
in Wayne county, and they have through
their attorney, Captain ]. II. Brown OF
Wakefield, an officer OF the Third Nebraska
regiment. applied for writ citing the
officers OF this company into court The
Wayne county farmers have been Joined by
about thirty Douglas county farmers, who
are represented by Attorney j. p. Breen OF
this city. while the county attorney appears
on the pleadings as representative OF the
state.
The title of the suit filed in the district
court is: state of Nebraska ex rel Mons
Johnson, Stephen Carpenter, ]. b. Cullen,
d. p. Brouse aud NJ. E. Brink, versus d,
w. Miller, f. H. Hilliker, C. NJ Harris, C.
c. White, John Trauemcht and J. G. Miller,
whose first and real names are unknown"
No Mincing of Words.
The man who wrote the petition did not
mince words. After setting forth that the
relators have a private and personal interest
in the matter, the petition brands the de-
PENDANTS as "a band of rowing insurance
adventurers."
Getting down into details the petition
says: After having perpetrated in the
states of Minnesota and South Dakota acts
not unlike those hereinafter detailed, the
defendants appeared in this state about
January, 1899, and attempted to organize
what is called The Grain Growers Mutual
Hail association and on January %, in
pretended pursuance OF an act of the legs
lature, creating authority for the organiza
tion of such association, the defendants filed
IN thn etatn or
documents pretending to be a declara
tion of intention to form COM
pany for the purposes designated
by said act" Continuing, the petitioners
aver that the document filed with the state
auditor had the pretended signatures of
large number Of persons, presumed to be
residents OF ten different Nebraska counties,
the signers being so numerous and so widely
scattered as to residence that it Is imprac-
ticable to bring them into the suit as de-
PENDANTS. 1t is plainly charged that the
pretended corporation was never legally or
ganized and the word fraud occurs many
times.
1t is charged that the defendants were
guilty of fraud by representing to persons
signing the document that they, the defend
ants, would so conduct the business that the
sgners might have free insurance for long
term of years, not only on their growing
crops, but on crops not to be grown until
succeeding years.
1t is further alleged that the defendants
have recently attempted to levy assessments,
| and that in most cases the attempt has met
with failure. In conclusion, the petitioners
pray the court to cite the defendants to ap
pear and show by what authority they are
operating, and in the event of default in
appearance, the court is prayed to issue
Judgment of custer.

Nine Mixed-BlOod Persons Bring Suit
Against the Government.
In the United States court Maggie E
Rockwell and eight other persons, all Of
whom allege that they are of mixed blood
and can trace their ancestry back to the
Omaha Indians, have brought suit against
the United States, demanding that they be
allotted lands in severalty the same as the
other Indians on the reservation
For the purpose of making their case,
the plaintiffs alege that they have always
maintained their tribal relations and have
participated in the feasts and functions
which have gone to make up a part OF the
daily routine Of Indian life. In their petit
tion they refer to the treaty Of 1854 by
which the Omaha Indians relinquished claim
to vast tracts Of land, conditioned that they
be allowed to occupy their present reserva-
tion. They set out in their petition the
payment Of money by the government, al
leging that there remains unpaid a large
balance, and in their prayer they demand
that they be permitted to make their selec-
tion OF land and that the same be allotted
to them the same as has been done in the
cases of other Indians.

Repleyfn Suit Causes TrOuhIe

Two complaints were filed with the city
prosecutor yesterday morning against John
Bergers, a Lincoln loan agent, charging
him with horsestealing ana grand larceny.
The complainant is John Morrissey 1918
Spencer street, and the removal on a writ
of replevin August of horse, wagon and
a phaeton from Morrssey's barn by con-
stable without authority TO serve a writ
constitutes a theft in the opinion of the
complainant and his attorneys.
Morrissey, as proprietor of the Metro
politan Plumbing and Chandelier company,
owned the horse and vehicles. He bor-
rowed from Bergers. by giving a chattel
mortgage, on them S105. Since the date of
the loan he has repaid the sum, he asserts
paid
August Z. when dispute arose regarding
the payment of certain sum of money
Bergers sent constable, John Bentley
deputed by Justice j. w. K!nkead, to seize
the property on a writ or replevin. The
horse and vehicles were removed from the
barn where they. were kept and the owner
now claims deputed constable has not
the authority to serve a writ of replev!n
and that the man under whose instructions
he acted committed a theft.

Real Estate Agent wins His Case.

Monday afternoon an interesting point Of
law was ruled upon by Justice Prichard in
the case Of Joseph w. Sipe against Maggie
and Charles Morris. Sipe had acted as real
estate broker for the Morris couple and it
was through his efforts they effected an ad-
vantageous exchange of property and now
Mr.. and Mrs. Morris refuse to pay sipe for
his services, claiming the statute of fraud
on the ground that there was no written
contract which Nebraska laws state should
exist between agent and customer.
Justice Prchard ruled in Sipe's favor that
inasmuch as the Morris family had accepted
the benefits of Sipe's services it was right
that they should pay for them. 1t is prob
able that the case will be taken to a higher
court.

DOESN'T APPRECIATE A JOKE
David Vargn, believing He Has Been
Robbed, Makes Things Lively
for a Few Minutes.

David Vargas inability to understand
English and his consequent failure to appre-
ciate a joke played upon him was RESPONSE
BILE for a tumult Monday afternoon among
the Hungarians who dwell in a settlement
near Eighth and Dodge streets. Varga came
to this country not long ago and found en-
ployment in this city at the smeter. He is
frugal in his expenditures and has saved a
small sum OF money which he keeps on de-
posit at one Of the savings banks
A group Of the smelter employees, including
Varga, were enjoying a round-robin over
can of beer in a lodging house back of Ed
Millers saloon at Ninth and Dodge streets,
when it occurred to one of the party to have
little fun with Varga by stealing his bank
book. The man accordingly slipped 1t from
his pocket Varga, who was slightly intox-
cated, soon discovered the book was miss
ing. He believed the less of the book meant
the loss of the money and his companions
allowed HON to continue to think So
In the excitement of the moment Varga
slipped out of the room unobserved He
went up town as fast as he could run and,
stopping at the nearest second hand store,
purchased a revolver. Then he returned to
recover possession of the money which he
supposed some one had stolen from him.
The merry making was still going on
when Varga entered, hourishing a pistol and
threatening to annihlate the whole roomful
OF men unless his money was restored to
him. His companions saw a wild look in his
eye and knowing he meant business, they
made dash for the doors, with Varga in
pursuit. Policeman Mitchell heard series
OF screams and running to the scene found
Narga chasing a woman with an infant in
her arms, while men were scattering in all
directions. The officer took Varga to Jail,
where he was searched and the handbook
was found in a side pocket, some one hav-
ing replaced II before the owner went to buy
a pistol.

district court against John w. Mccoy. Her
petition is a narrowing recital of domestic
unhappiness. She says they were married
at Ottawa, Kan, twenty years ago. and sep
arated in the early part of this year. There

of the chief allegations against Mccoy is
that he had a habit of putting his wife
out of the house periodically. Once, she
says, she was driven from home and re-
NAMED away thirteen months.
The petitioner recites that her husband
is in easy financial circumstances, while
she is forced to wash for living. She

Miles of Postage Stamps.

G. F. Jenkins, in the Scientific
american, says that during the VI ar
1898 the United States Bureau of
Printing and Engraving issued 2, ,5OO,-
000,0 of the common red two-cent
stamps, enough to go almost twice
around the earth.
Stacked one upon another they
would pile up $50 miles beyond our
atmosphere, equal in weight to two
OF our big locomotives, and would
make a blanket to keep the frost off
the city of Washington.
If these stamps worked in relays,
each taking the letter as far as al
lowed by the postal regulations, the
message would be carried beyond the
most remote star; and, at the fastest
speed at the disposal of the postal
authorities, would occupy millions of
times the age OF the earth in transit.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 8.-Democratic
state committeeman had nothing to
announce this morning in regard to
yesterdays election. 1t is understood
Mr.. Mclean may make a statement
bearing on the causes that brought
about the result. Judge Nash, the
Governor-elect. has received many
congratulations, especially over car
rying his own county of Franklin by
over 2000.
The county was carried by the
Democrats for Governor by 1900 two
years ago. Chairman Dick to-day
has revised his figures so as to claim
from $4,000 to 10000 plurality for
Judge Nash for Governor and the
rest of the Republican state ticket,
and an unusually large majority in
both branches of the legislature.
The total vote was, perhaps, ex.
ceeded only at the last Presidential
election. 1t will reach 920, 900 as com
pared with $4,000 last year and S64,-
900 in 1897, with which year the vote
was compared. The plurality of
Judge Nash exceeds that of President
