GOT AHEAD OF THE COURT.

A legal controversy that had its be-
ginning last May when P. B. Bowling,
as executor of the estate of Catherine
Bowling deceased, was, on applica-
ton of NJ. Flohr, guardian of Ellen
Rorke, insane, cited by the judge of
the superior court to account for the
management of the affairs of the said
ward, had an abrupt ending yesterday.
Responsive to the citation the exc
cutor filed an account showing the
ward to be indebted to him in the sum
of $1779.50. Two supplemental and
amendatOry accounts were filed in the
case. The matter after being twice
argued was finally submitted to the
court 1t was claimed by the executor
that there was due him S1950.S9; on
the other hand the guardian contend
ed that nothing was due Mr.. Bowling,
but that his ward was entitled to re-
ceive s6229S for revenue and re-
ceipts of her property unaccounteu-
for
The court on October ruled that
the executor should forwith vacate
the lands of the ward and allowed him
Slip to pay the costs. A petition
was then filed by the executor asking
that he be allowed to show that GER
tain expenditures for repairs that had
been disallowed by the court in the
account were in reality sums paid for
the actual construction of new build
ings and that he be allowed to remove
the same This petition was set for
hearing yesterday. When the case
was called it was disclosed that Mr..
Bowling between the time of the ap-
plication and the time set for the
hearing had removed all the buildings
from the wards preh...es and his at
tOrney moved for a dismissal of the
petition. The motion was resisted by
the guardian, who asked that the value
of the property removed be assessed
and charged to the executor.
The judge held that the matter had
gone beyond the Jurisdiction of the
probate branch of the court and that
the guardian would be compelled to
resort to an action for trespass. A
dismissal was ordered provided the
executor would pay the costs incurred
for the hearing.

Over American Charity Fund.

menian refugee and leader, was MUIR
dered in the streets of Nunhead today.
His assailant in his flight dropped his
hat and revolver, which investigation
showed were purchased in New York.
Officers believe that Sagouini's as
sassin belongs to a rival faction Of the
Armenian party, charged with being
spies in the service of the sultan. The
trouble between the two sections of
the party followed the collection of
$4,000 in America in 1902 for the re
lief of the Armenians. The collectors
refused to give up the money. This
fact was revealed by the editor of an
Armenian newspaper published in
Boston a short time after which an
attempt was made on his life. Mr..
Nazarbek, an Armenian leader in
Switzerland, was shot at last week be-
cause he reiterated this statement.
Sagouini had just returned from g
visit to Nazarbek.
The regular body Of Armeniians
charge that the sultan is urging the
campaign of exterminating against the
former Armenian leaders, who are
now in Europe and America SagOuini
arrived in England from New York a
year ago. His purpose was to build
up a peaceful revolutionary propa-
ganda He had a private fortune and
was distinguished in his cause. He

OMAHA, A GRAIN MARKET.
A.. B. Stickney Purposes to Make
There One Of the Greatest
in West.

Omaha, Oct. 27.-The gigantic
scheme of President Stickney of the
Great Western railroad to make Oma.
ha the largest grain market in the
West was divulged in detail Monday
when the discovery was made that a
35acre tract in South Omaha, along
the right Of way of railroads, has been
quietly acquired, lot by lot, by the
Great Western President Sti'ckney' 5
plan is to organize what he calls the
Omaha Grain Terminals" company,
with capital of 100000. Of the pro-
ject he said:
Omaha was not much of livestock
market till the railroads got together
and agreed on rates and terminal mat
ters. Now the city has its stock yards
and packing houses to entitle it to
second rank of all the packing centers
in the world.
There is not a grain market here
today, because the railroads have not
agreed on the questions of rates and
terminal facilities. My plan contem-
plates the unification of several roads
leading into Omaha On just these ques-
uons. The Omaha Grain Terminals
company has the one object of making
Omaha the biggest grain market in
the West
For some time President Stockney,
through agents, has been acquiring a
large tract of land of easy access to
the city. The property cost several
hundred thousand dollars. The strip
is $500 feet long. Several tracks will
be laid for the accommodation of ele-
vators and Touring mills. Sites at net
cost Will be offered to persons who
VIII build and the tracks will be con-
nected with the Elkhorn, Burlington,
Missouri Pacific, Rock Island, Union
Pacific, Milwaukee and Great West
ern. Mr.. Stickney's plan provides that
the railroads shall eventually own and
control the trackage facilities to do
away with the switching charges. Ar
ticles of Incorporation will be drafted
and filed at once.
