LITIGATION IS EXPENSIVE
Eats Up Large Portion Of Assets Of Kimball
& Champ Company.
RECEIVER AND LAWYERS ARE UNPAID
Petition Court 10 Turn Remaining
Property over to Them to
Compensate Them for
Services.
RECEIVER AND LAWYERS ARE UNPAID

Shortly after assuming the receiver
ship | found that practically all Of its
valuable securities had been diverted and
hypothecated by its officers and my work
has principally consisted in tedious efforts
TO obtain possession OF these securities by
either litigation or comromise." This is
the statement Of Charles r. Hannah in his
final report as receiver for the Kimball-
Champ investment company of this city,
which he filed in the district court yester-
day. The Kimball Champ Investment
company failed in 1891 and Charles r. Han
nan. then cashier OF the Citizens State
bank, was appointed receiver. The failure
of the Kimball-Champ Investment company
followed shortly after it completed the
building OF the Grand hotel.
At the time of its failure the Kimball-
Champ company had outstanding guaran-
tees aggregating SITS, SOS 90 and debenture
bonds to the amount of $40, 400. Eastern
banks with whom the hypothecated secur-
tiles had been deposited as collateral for
loans we're the heaviest losers. In con-
nection with the building of the Grand
hotel by this company Receiver Hannah
found on taking hold of its affairs one
note secured by mortgage on the furniture
Of the hotel on which SIC, 500 was still
due after foreclosure and another note Sc
cured by mortgage on the hotel annex on
which s113,66O remained unpaid after the
foreclosure.
Owing to the tangled condition OF the
affairs of the company and the consequent
litigation the expenses of the receiver
ship have been heavy and have absorbed
much Of the receipts which came into Mr..
Humans hands. The receipts were $685.
POI 40 and the disbursements $3S, 206. Sc.
Still outstanding against the receivership
are the claims OF Stone & Dawson, attor-
neys, 81, 900, and that OF the receiver,
amounting to $14,500, on which 5000 has
been paid.
Receiver Hannah in asking to be dis
charged and his bondsmen exonerated, pc
titions the court to authorize the issuance
OF deeds to the property now In his hands
to him and to Stone & Dawson in settle
ment Of their claims, the property to be
charged against them at it's appraised value
Of approximately $40, 900. All the other Sc
c%urities the receiver asserts are practically
worthless and impossible to realize on.
The Kimball-Champ Investment company
did a large business during the boom days
of Council Bluffs and its failure in 1891
created quite a stir in financial circles.

Reduce Gathman sentence.

The supreme court has reduced the SEN
tence of Albert Gathman, convicted of the
betrayal OF Bertha Trede. from fifteen
months to three months Imprisonment in
the county Jail. Gathman appealed on the
grounds that the evidence was insufficient
to convict him of the offense charged. and
on this point the six judges OF the supreme
court we're equally divided, but were unan-
imous that owing to the peculiar circum-
stances OF the case the sentence should be
reduced. Tit attorneys for Gathman are,
however, not satisfied with the courts rul-
ing and will file a motion for a rehearing.
Gsthman had his preliminary hearing in
this city before a justice Of the peace, but
bis trial was held at Avoca before Judge
Green, II being shown that the alleged
offense was committed in Carson. Young
Gathman is a member OF a we'll known fam
lily OF Pottawattamie county.

AN EASY WAY
To Keep Well.

It is easy to keep we'll II you only OBJ
serve each day a few simple rules OF health.
The all important thing is to keep the
stomach right, and to do this it is not nee
essary to diet or to follow a set rule or bill
Of fare. Such pampering simply makes a
eapricious appetite and a feeling that GER
tain ~favorite articles Of food must be
avoided.
Prof. Wiechold gives pretty good advice
on this subject. He says: II am IS years
old and have never had a serious illness,
and at the same time my life has been
largely an indoor one, but l early discoV-
cred that the way to keep healthy was to
keep a healthy stomach, not by eating bran
crackers or dieting Of any sort; on the con-
trary, ! always eat what my appetite Graves,
but daily for the past eight years l have
made It a practice to take one or two OF
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each meal
and l attribute my robust health for a man
OF my age to the regular daily use OF
Stuart's Tablets.
My physician FIRST advised me to use
them because he said they were perfectly
harmless and were not a secret patent med
icine, but contained only the natural d.
gestives. peptones and diastase, and after
using them a few weeks l have never
ceased to thank him for his advice.

brings health to the sick and ailing anC

Men and women past nifty years Of ag'
need a safe digestive after meals TO insur,
