ASKS FOR AN ACCOUNTING
Petition I'm District Court Sets Forth
story of Alleged
"FreeEe out"

Helen e. Hancock and John D. Hancock
have petitioned the district court for the
appointment Of a receiver for the Cotton
Livery company and for an accounting by
the defendants in the suit. who are Will
liam M. Mace. George f. Munro, John w.
Cotton and William J. Clair.
The petition narrates that John d. Han
cock bought the Cotton livery stock and
consolidated It with Mace's stock Novem-
Der s. 1899. all the property of both being
accumulated at the Cotton barn. Because
Of the prestige of the old name the firm
incorporated as the Cotton Livery company,
all the fifty 800 shares Of stock being is
sued to Hancock, who assigned twenty-five
Of them to Munro to hold in trust for Mace
as representing his (Mace's) share, and
twenty-three to Helen Hancock. Plaintiffs
further allege that in June, 1901, on a day
other than the regular meeting day and
without notice to plaintiffs, the defendants
held a meeting at which they pretended to
reorganiHe and to elect a directorate. Since
that day, the plaintiffs say, they have not
been allowed to inspect the books, although
they have repeatedly requested such per-
mission. They say they believe the bus
mess is netting $500 per month, although
they are told that it is being conducted at
a loss. They allege, also, that at the meet
ing Mace's salary as manager was raised
from $50 per month to 800 per month.

Member of south Omaha
Board.

South Omaha tolsted upon the county
another election contest case yesterday
morning, John J. Larkin. democrat, having
designs on Dana Morrill's seat as a mem
Der Of the Board OF Education. In his COM
plant Larkin alleges that he received ASA
votes instead OF 2.4Ss. as shown by the on
eial returns. and that Morrill, received 2,s4s
instead Of 2,464. There is no allegation OF
fraud, but merely errors OF counting, and
Larkin's attorney seems TO have no very
clear idea OF where such extensive errors
were nae Judge V~insOnhaler is down in
Arkansas now and might be tempted to stay
there II he knew what a bunch Of these
contests is piling up for his disposal.

be used for trains as soon as the rest OF
the line is ready, however.
"A fall Of three feet Of snow in a week

that IL there is no more snow grading will

taIIers.

While the committee Of the Grocers' as
ISOLATION charged with the arrangement OF
& plan to stop the sale Of soap at cut
prices made no report on Friday afternoon,
as was expected, the members have done
considerable work, their attention being

signihed a willingness to cease supplying

tee is still in conference with persons re-
sponsible for the existing condition and
hope TO have the matter in shape to handle

That rain was worth a million dollars
an hour to Nebraska" said General Man
ager George F. BldweIl OF the Fremont.
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road, yesterday
morning. 81 was out in the storm, driving
for Ave hours across Holt and Boyd coun-
ties In the worst Of 1t, The wind and rain
were the hercest have ever known.
THE extent OF the rain was remarkable.
The entire portion OF Nebraska north Of the
Platte river was covered. and the fall was
heavy everywhere, being less. in fact, right
here around Omaha than anywhere else.
As / rode dow from Verdigrls on the train
yesterday afternoon l noticed that every
foot OF the territory through which we
passed was soaked. The South Platte was
also remembered, though the fall was
lighter there. and died out entirely toward
the Kansas line.
This rain came at a critical time, and
Its value Is vast accordingly. Flowing was
going on. and the ground was in bad con-
dition for Il. Corn planting was to begin In
May. and Tor that the ground was in mis-.
cradle shape. The heavy rain put Il in
perfect fitness. The water vent right into
the ground as in a sponge. and the earth
Is simply In ideal condition for blowing,
for planting corn and for the small grains"
