LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

WAYS THAT ARE DARK.-Soon after George
Aschenauer and j. S. Wheeler committed
the assault upon c. c. Barnes, Of this city,
on the Riverside road, early last fall, and
when it became apparent that they were to
be prosecuted for assault to murder and for
attempted extortion, Aschenauer transferred
by deed his house and lot at Brighton, to-
gether with all the furniture, to Frank
Aschensuer his brother, and also by bill of
sale q span Of horses, harness and wagon, and
skipped the country, since which time moth
ing has been heard OF him. His wife for
merly Lizzie Allen, knew nothing of the sale
until after he had gone, and gave no con-
sent to it. The real estate was COM
mnnity property, and the furniture and
horses, harness and wagon, were her. sep
erate property. AS she remained in
the house subsequent to her husbands de-
parture, she retained possession of the place
and furniture, but Frank Aschenauer took
the horses, harness and wagon under his bill
of sale. She replevied them, and the suit TO
determine the title has just been tried in the
Superior Court. Upon the trial of the case
Frank Aschenauer testified that he gave his
brother $500 incash and a note for $500 for
the real estate and personal property. He
presented bill Of sale from George Aschen-
~.
also a bill of sale for the same from Mrs.
Aschenauer TO her husband dated prior.
Under these he claimed iroaclad title against
Mrs. Aschenauer. The latter. however, ex-
planned the bill of sale from herself to her nus.
band, and claimed it Was invalid. She said that
some time before the occurrence on the River
side road, George came so her and said that be
could make an advantageous sale of the
herseT, etc, If she would make out a bill of
sale of them to him that she did so, buthe did
not finally succeed in making the sale, and so
left the bill of sale il bureau drawer, from
which he took It, but that she never received
any consideration for the property, and the
bill of sale was not delivered by her to him.
This explanation was corroborated by other
evidence, and upon conclusion of the testi-
m0ny judgment was given In favor of Mrs
Aschenauer for $3.50, or the possession of the
property, and she took the latter.
