People who Tried 20 Help Wholesale
House Held for It's Debts.
GRAND ISLAND, Dec. A-(Special)-A
decision Just rendered in the district court
in this county by Judge Rieder Of Columbus
as referee I'm the case Of creditors Of the
Minton Woodward company a wholesale
grocery which failed about ten years ago,
has caused considerable agitation and crit
icism Of the lawyers who brought the case.
The decision holds about eight local attor-
neys and business men liable as stockhold-
ers to make up a deficiency Of 10 per cent
not paid by the receiver appointed at the
time on the claims. The defendants de-
clare that the real creditors will never get
a dollar of the judgments and that in sub
stance, It is a matter Of successful specula-
ton rather than one of equity. Locally
about $1,000 is involved.
A year or more before the failure Of the
company its officers solicited a lite aid
among Grand Islands business men. These
we're induced to take stock Among those
who thus contributed were w. II. ThOmp-
son. recent candidate for United States SEN
ator; w A. Prince a leading attorney, F.
II. Nicholson, ]. II. Foley, Albert Etting,
Dr. Sumner Davis and Mrs Wright, and
few others who have since left the city and
state. II. II. Glover contributed but would
not receive stock. ]. w. Thompson bought
some of the stock, but escaped by reason OF
the fact that the transfers were not mat
ter of record. When the firm failed, a re-
ceiver was duly appointed the assets were
converted into money and just before the
payments of the claims Of eastern manufac-
turers and jobbcrs, two local attorneys are
alleged to have bought up number of the
claims at so cents on the dollar. out Of the
assets all claims were eventually raid 81
cents on the dollar. The recelvership was
wound up with 10 cents on the dollar UNI
paid. Suit was then brought by Attorneys
w. s. Pearne. since removed to Chicago,
and o. A. Abbott, jr., to recover the II per
cent from the stockholders The latter en-
ployed, severally, nearly. every other attor-
ney in the city and some Of these at once
wrote to the claimants how 1t came that
after being paid 81 per cent they still
brought suit for the 10 per cent, the defend
ants being parties who had not profted in
any manner from the business Of the firm.
Some of them replied that they knew moth
ing at all of the suit brought in their name;
others stated that they had disposed of
their claims and had no fu Their interest and
others neglected to answer at all 1t thus
became a fight between local attorneys only
and the defendants allege that the real or
iginal claimants win not see dollar of the
money recovered from the stockholders
on their liability In the progress OF the
hearing itN was shown that the firm had
failed to comply with the law requiring cor
porations to publish their Indebtedness, once
each year The case will be appealed to the
supreme court and the attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS are confident they will secure
reversal OF the decree there.

cared for at a small private hospital and
in the railroad hotel. A coroner's jury is
investigating the causes of the wreck. The
engineer of the freight train alleges he had
been ordered to move out west of the town
where he was to drop of a fagman to stoI
the incoming passenger train. The hagmar
testified he went on ahead of the engine
nearly half a mile and not only placed two
torpedoes on the track, but waited and
signalled the passenger train with his Ian,
tern. He swore no attention was paid L
his lantern signal and he could not say
whether the torpedoes had exploded. The
night was very foggy and the suppositior
is that the lantern signal was not seen and
that the torpedoes failed to explode.
