Two Parties Claim Brick In Old
Transfer BufIdfng.

Two Parties Claim Brick In Old
Transfer Building.
Wallace Benjamin, real estate man, and
@. Whitebook, a junk dealer. have become
involved in litigation over the question of
ownership of the brick in the ruins of the
warehouse building of the Union Transfer
company, which was destroyed by fire last
December. Benjamin claims to have pur-
chased the brick from T. G. Turner. cashier
of the First National bank and trustee for
the property, while Whitebook claims own
ership by reason Of having purchased the
brick from Daniel Carrigg, the owner Of
the building.
whitebook and his assistants were In the
act Of removing the brick when Wallace
swooped down on them with q warrant
from the court of Justice Greene. charging
them with larceny. A. Dixon, Lewis, Simon
and A. whitebook were arrested and gave
bonds in the sum Of 800 for their appear
ance before Justice Greene next Saturday.
Then Benjamin followed up the arrest Of
the four men by bringing suit in the district
court to enjoin whitebook and his assist
ants from removing any more OF the brick
He also asked for judgment for Sl35 against
Whitebook. alleging the latter had removed
brick of the value of that amount which
men in the employ of Benjamin had cleaned
and stacked up. Whitebook came back
with a cross petition and application for an
Notwithstanding Benjamin from re-
moving any of the brick. Temporary in
functions were granted on both Sides and
so the matter stands.
Benjamin claims that under an agree
ment with Trustee Turner he acquired pos
session of the brick, In consideration for
which he was to clean UP the property and
remove all the debris and rubbish remain
ing from the fire. Whtebook. on the other
hand, is said to have paid 5000 cash for the
brick. In his petition II is alleged that
Turner was appointed trustee to take care
of claims on a mortgage held by the First
National bank. but that as the insurance
on the building was sufficient to satisfy the
mortgage, his interest in the property then
ceased. The salvage is claimed by Carrigg,
the owner of the building, and 1t was from
him that whitebook purchased the brick on
February Is.

In the house today one bill. that by
Jaul of Jones' relating to the acquisition
of school sites, was passed, the bill from
the senate cutting the commission Of town
ship clerks down from per cent to per
cent was defeated. and the bill by Kelly
Of Polk seeking to weed out graft by
peace officers in large cities was referred
to the judiciary committee, where 1t is ex-
pected it will be killed. The bill by Paul
seeks to provide for the demand for teach
| ing agriculture in the schools by increas-
| ing the amount of land which school d.
! rectors can acquire for school site pur-
poses from one to four acres, and to pro-
vide that II can be used for agricultural
experiment purposes in addition TO use as
school sites. Representative Kelly, for his
bill, produced justice court dockets show
ing that police officers of Des Moines in
addition to their salaries were drawing
witness fees of 90 cents for each case and
that as many as fifteen police officers were
sworn witnesses and testified even In

persons conspicuous in the fight Of twenty
five years ago, which ended in, amending
the constitution and the supreme court de-
claring the amendment unconstitutional,
are back of the movement now, with the
addition. Of some new blood, and that they
propose to make their demands for the
submission of the question heard in the
state.
