DISTRICT CouRT, which convened
on Monday, had not up to Wednesday
been the scene Of any particular in
terest or great attendance, notwith-
standing the final disposal in that
time Of numerous causes, among
them:
State of Iowa vs.. Justice Kellar--
tried on Tuesday for forgery and ac-
quilted. 1t appeared that two diff.
ferent notes were in question, and
that while the indictment was based
upon one of them al the evidence
related to another.
State VS.. Theo. Culver--sssault
with intent to kill. Plead guilty of
assault and battery. Settled civil
damages and fined IS.
State vs.. H. B Cronkhite--assault
and battery. Tried and found not
guilty.
ID. H'bbard plead guilty to vio-
lation Of liquor law.
VIM. Hancock, under bonds to
keep the peace. was discharged by
the court.
The Grand Jury is busy at its la
bors, but of course the only results
that have as yet becoms public are
negative future TO Cad bills. Among
,hese is the case of JAS. w. Brown,
who it will be remembered was ar
rested during the Fair on charge Of
having stolen $50 from Frank Cole
man. The circumstances OF this theft
and arrest we're given at the time.
Six parepatetic chaps we're stopping
at VIM. B.gley's bori'ng house,
this young man among them. The
money vas taken, and Brown was
arrested and committed on the
charge. The Grand Jury now finds
no evidence whatever against him
and Tuesday he was discharged.
He thinks, and with good reason,
that lying nine weeks in Jail i, pretty
severe punishment for being caught
once in bad company.
Some of the causes on docket will,
il tried this term, create no little in.
terest and excitement. Particularly
is this the case in the suit Of Bent &
Cottrell W. T. & B. Mink for alleged
libel. The defendants ia their an

A PECULIAR ExPLANATIoN.-The
following is the Clinton Hsralds
theory in re gard to the heavy liens
which ware noted last week as hav-
ing been fl d, bv the Joliet Iron aud
Steel Co. an / the contractors, against
the Chicago, Clinton + Westera rail-
way:
There is well credited belief in
this vicinity, that these several pro-
ceedings in court, appearing as me-
cnanics' liens, are Only . part OF Me-.
Hinckley's wise plan to protect him
self and his friends who have invest
ed in the road aud prevent his oppo-
nents from ousting him from the
possession Of the property % far - it
has real existence. Il is true that
the gentlemen residing in Iowa City
who had acquired some interest in
this road long ago became disgusted
with Mr.. Hinckley's frequently un-
fulfilled promises and with his annoy
ing delays in pushing the project to
completion, and determined to take
the road out OF his hands if possible
and secure its complexion by other
means and through other direction.
This course, while it would serve the
interests of the public more promptly,
would not perhaps be fair treat.
ment Of the plucky, iron-nerved man
who has 20 long formed the head and
front of this enterprise and who has,
as we are informed, sunk" several
hundred thousand dollars Of his own
capital in the road, al Of which he
would forfeit and lose were he de-
posed from the control of the project.
Clinton men who have invested
money in this enterprise, though Sc
cretly fretting At the obstacles that
have risen one after another 10 pre-
vent the building Of the railroad,
have never quite lost faith in Mr..
Hinckley's intention of building the
road eventually, and they have pa
riently waited and persistently op.
posed their more imperious associates
in the scheme At Iowa City and else
where, believing in the justice Of
giving Mr.. Hinckley every oppor-
tunity possible before throwing him

served unbounded faith and invested
uns'inted money in the railroad.
But Mr.. Hinckley, il we read these
sigEs Alright, will not be thrown over.
board without an effort in defense,
and is probably . passive partner in
these very transactions that look like
the operations Of his opponents. The
very confidence with which he writes
to bis friends in Davenport and Clin-
ton respecting his purpose Of going
on with the work in the spring, de-
spite the several liens on the road
and the pronunciamen,o from his
opponents that he shall not longer
"run" the Southwestern, and in the
face of his binding contract to finish
the road to Iowa City by January /,
1876, which he cannot now by any
possibility fulfll-all lend substance
to the theory that the filing Of this
important lien BY the Joliet Iron and
Steel Company has the approval Of
Mr.. Hinckley. But time will make
these things clear.
