HORTON is VALID TRUSTEE
Judge Dickinson Holds that Federal
Court Has Right to
Appoint Hin.

Judge Dickinson yesterday morning held
that Judge Munger in United States district
court had a perfect right to declare the
Greater America Exposition company bank
rupt and appoint Richard s. Horton trustee
and that such adjudication Of that point
was hnal.
The ruling was on the motion Of Horton
to strike from the showing Of Hayden
Bros. the allegation that Horton was not
empowered to proceed in the collection Of
$40, 900 from them because the federal dis
trict court was without jurisdiction in the
matter Of appointing him. 1t is the old
contention over the stock subscription which
Hayden Bros. made July 3, two days after
the stock books closed. and that the firm
later regained by m~andamus. Horton, when
he was appointed. took the case to the SUI
preme court, which held that Judge Scott
had no authority to issue such mandamus
and Judge Dickinson required the Haydens
to make showing why they should not pay
in the money again.

KILLED BY FALLING IRON
Chief Engineer Brophy Loses Life by
Accident at Distillsry,
WORKMAN DROPS IRON ON HIS HEAD
Brophy EmerRes from Blacksmith
shep Just in Time TO step Under
Falling weiEht-skun il
Probably Fractured.

Dennis Brophy, chief engineer OF the will
low Springs distillery, died at 1880 o'clock
Friday night at ST. Joseph's hospital as the
result Of an accident which occurred late
Friday afternoon at the distillery. Just
as he was coming out Of the blacksmith shop
Brophy was struck on the head by a piece
OF railroad Iron about fourteen feet long
which had been dropped from the roof Of
the building by an employee. As the iron
flew up on the rebound 1t struck Brophy
again, breaking one of the bones OF his
right leg below the knee. Brophy was
made unconscious by the blow and was
picked up by other workmen, who had been
attracted by the cries Of the man on the
roof. The injured man was removed to the
hospital, where he was attended by DR.. Pol
lard.
The wound on Brophy's head was just a
slight cut in the scalp, but 1t is supposed
the skull was fractured at the base. The
body has been removed to the undertaking
rooms Of Heafey & Heafey.
The occurrence was purely accidental, as
the man who dropped the iron yelled sew
eral times before dropping it in order to
warn persons who might chance to come
beneath him. This morning he was almost
crazed with grief and refused to talk about
the affair.
Brophy had been in the employ of the dis
filling company for about twelve years and
for the last seven years had been chief en-
gineer. He resided at 2211 South Eleventh
street and was Sc years of age. He came
to Omaha from st. Paul with a crowd Of
railroad men and was foreman of the men
who rebuilt the Union Pacific bridge. He
leaves a widow and two daughters, all OF
whom were with him when he died.

ADVANCE NOT EFFECTIVE YET
Applied, but Probably
VIII BE.

Local agents Of the insurance companies
in the Western Insurance union have re-
ceived no answer to their request for a
change in the rates which were to be made
effective April !. All Of the companies in
the combination have not notified their
agents to advance rates at this time and
the local agents are not putting the rates
into force for any Of the companies until
all have sent instructions to that effect. so
at this time the new rates do not apply
in this city. From day to day instruc-
lions from the different companies to ad-
vance rates are received.
while we have received no official
answer to our protest Of last week." said
an agent, I'VE hope that the action Of the
companies will be favorable, and unofficial
word has been received from some of the
companies to the effect that they are Civ
ing the matter serious consideration. We
hope to hear from the protest next week"
Persons familiar with the conditions I'M
der which the advance in rates was decided
upon, say that a change is hardly to be
expected, as there are ninety companies
in the society and all but four Of them
voted for the proposed advance. With this
majority in favor of the plan, 1t is hardly
to be expected hat the executive officers
will consent to make the concessions de-
manded,
