Condition Of Zion City.

Chicago June 20.-Wilbur G. No-

who succeeded Dowie as manager Of
the city and its properties, was the
first witness today for the defense *
the hearing now going on before Judge
lands in the federal court to deter
mine the rightful manager of the city
and its interests. VOliva testified that
when he assumed control Of Zion City,
he found in the candy industry a paid
up stock OF S155,0O0, an actual invest
ment of $4,000, and a total operating
loss up to January 81, 1906, of $93, 600.
In the supply manufacturing associa-

but not one dollar in the bank to pay
any OF the 100000. Every day there
was long line Of people in front Of
the bank looking for their money
Some of them would get so cents some
10 cents and some nothing at all.
Every one of these people had $1,000
or more on deposit. I found that 81
600. 900 had been diverted and that the
losses of operating the different indus
tries UP to that time amounted to 81
529, 500. I found that the laboring
men were receiving only enough to
exist upon and their pay was far be-
hind. Many of them were paid in
coupons and when 1 assumed manage

was outstanding. I found many people

National Guard Passes.


Adjutant General Hughes this
morning received a telegram an
nouncing that the house at Washing
ton has passed the Dick bill, and that
it will now be signed by the president

How Inman City OhiciaIs Brought

According to the claims of the Burr

officers Of the town of Inman in the
southern part of Mcpherson county
have a new way of bringing corpora
tiOns to time. The mayor. city Off
GERS and cOuncilmen- went to work and
organized a new telephone company of
their own, gave it q franchise, and then
proceeded to pass ordinances calcula-
ted to drive the old company out of
business. This is the latest variation
on city ownership.
The controversy between the old COM
pany and the new mutual company
The case filed today shows that the
Burrton-Inman company, after trying
in vain to comply with the stringent or
dinances passed by the city council.
brought injunction proceedings to pre-
vent the enforcement of the ordinances.
Judge Gale. of the Mcpherson county
district court, refused to grant the in
junction. The Burrton-Inman concern
appeals to the supreme court.
The evidence in the case shows that
L w Kant, vice president Of the Mu-
tual company, is a councilman; that
A. W. Ehrlich. treasurer. is also city
treasurer; that c. NJ. Ems. a director

STORY SLIPPED ONE COG.
.AIonzO Miller Almost Talked Himself
Out of Jail.

Alonzo Miller, q negro. was fined S25
and costs in the city court this morn
ing for beating and threatening to muir
der Cora Williams, a neighbor who re-
ported him to the police for wife beat
ing. and as he had no money, this
means that he will board with Sheriff
Lucas for the next month or two.
About midnight, little less than
month ago, the police were notified
that a man living near the Rock Island
depot on Van Buren street, was muir
dering his wife A quick run was made
for the place but the house was dark
and as quiet as though the murder had
been committed and the murderer had
escaped. A threat to break in the door
brought Miller, the man wanted, to
window and he appeared much sur
prised and claimed that he had been
asleep and knew nothing of the disturb
ance He made a strong talk and as
it was subs inflated by his wife there
was nothing to do but let aim alone.
Mrs collins was blamed for the IN
reference Of the police and fell under
the ban of Miller. who few days later
chased her into her own home with
drawn knife and after threatening to
kill her beat her.
He made a strong denial of the trans
action this morning and by putting up
a thousand dollar talk was about to
be freed, as Judge McCabe could not
tell which batch of witnesses to believe,
when he remembered that the entire
transaction was witnessed by one of
the employees of the Rock Island. He
was called and his testimony was what
gave Miller an order for 40 days board
at the county Jail. Besides the fine,
Judge McCabe gave him a severe lee
ttre on perjury and the penalty which
seemed to impress the prisoner. as well as
