History of Costly Calf Case.

Waterloo Qowa) Special: A lawsuit
known as the Jones county calf case was
concluded in the circuit court in this city
1t is an action brought by Robert John
son against E. V. Miller and six
other defendants for malicious prosecu-
ton. Eleven years ago John Foreman
OF Jones county had four calves stolen,
and about the same time Robert johnson,
a neighboring farmer, bought some calves
for S. D. Potter Of Green county. These
calves proved to be the ones stolen from
Foreman, and johnson gave his note
for $45 in payment for them. Soon after
Johnson was prosecuted by the Anti
Horse Thief Association OF Jones
County for the theft OF the calves.
He was tried twice and acquitted,
and in 1877 brought suit against seven
members OF the association for malicious
prosecution alleging that they did not
have probable cause for commencing
action. The case has. been before the
courts ever since and has been tried
five times-once at Clinton, twice at Vim
ton and twice at Waterloo-and each time
except one the plaintiff received YER
diet running from $4,000 to $780, but
each time the verdict has been set aside.
The jury awarded him $1,000. The costs,
attorneys fees and expenses entailed upon
all parties to the litigation growing out Of
the theft of calves is estimated at over
$4,000 and several prosperous farmers
have been rendered bankrupt, while the
calves in the first place were not worth over
$50.

Secretary Endicott Adheres and Con.
Sheridan Yields.

Upon a request by Generals Sheridan,
Schofeld, Pope and Howard that their
present personal aides be made exceptions
to the recently issued order sending
back to the regiments all officers
who had been absent therefrom on de-
tached or staff duty four years or more,
Secretary Endicott has had the subject
brought to his attention, and has decided
that no exception shall be made to the oper-
alton OF the order. The order was issued
after long and careful consideration by the
secretary, who fully knows the effect it
would have. He has become convinced that
under the psevailing system detached Of
ficers lose interest in their regiments, and
it's longer continuance would be demoraliz-
ing to the service.
Gen. Sheridan submits gracefully to the
answer made by the secretary OF war to his
protest against the removal cfhis aids. He
appointed Maj. T. w. Benteen, Fourth cav
airy, and Capt Stanhope Blunt, formerly OF
the Thirteenth infantry and since 1874 of
the ordnance department. These gentlemen
from their appointment receive the title and
pay of lieutenant colonel. Capt. Davis and
Capt. Gregory, whom they succeed, will
lose this title and will receive instead OF
the $4,000 year that attends these fash
ionable assignments, $4,000 and $4,000
respectively. Capt. Davis viii go to his
regiment, the Fourteenth infantry, at Van
Couver barracks Capt Gregory will go
wherever he is assigned.

Rather an Anectionate Family.

Capt A. P. Nelson was arrested in New
York on complaint OF Henry Patdee of
Jersey City, who charged that Nelson had
assaulted Mrs. Patdee. Nelson bore very
positive evidences of having been
blinded with vitriol. He tells this story:
He married many years ago, and had
six children. Eight years ago the youngest
daughter married Patdee. Subsequently
Capt. Nelson went to sea with his vessel,
and his wife went to live with her married
daughter. Eight months ago the daugh-
ter died. The captain returned few.
days ago and found that his wife had mar
ried Patdee. He went to see her, and
threatened her with prosecution. She told
him she thought he was dead, poured the
contents of a bottle of vitrio. on him rs he
went downstairs, and the captain was taken
to the hospital and Patdee and Mrs Nell
son were arrested on the double charge Of
bigamy and incest. The law there prohibits
intermarriage between mother-in-law and
sson-in-law. A further charge of atrocious
assault was preferred against the woman.

A London E1opement Sensation.

London is agog with a sensation, in which
the elements of romance and scandal are
painfully mixed. A handsome young assist
ant in /. Dublin dry goods shop eloped with
Miss Wilson, whose acquaintance he had
made during her shopping visits. Miss Viii
son was also young and handsome and she
was moreover, an heiress and a ward in chan
Gerry. Her father is still living, and he be-
came terribly enraged when he heard of the
elopement. He chased the fugitives over
half OF England, and finally overlook
them and caused their arrest, while they
were on theirway to cotland to be married.
They we're brought separately to London
and the young man was arraigned at the
Bow street police court on ~ charge of con-
tempt of court in having sought to marry
a ward in chancery without the sanction
of the lord high chancellor. Kavanaugh
said that his arrest alone had prevented
his marrying Miss Wilson, and that what
he most deplored was the TACT that
while they were on their way
to Scotland they had assumed the relations
OF husband aud wife without waiting for
the ceremony. The lord high chancellor
will probably iniprison Kavanagh for q
couple Of months and then allow him to
marry Miss Wilson, but taking care to tie
up her money 80 that she alone can control
It.

The Republicans or Moderates, are the
supporters OF the present ministry,
with Brisson and De Freycinet as the
representative leaders. They are like
wisepartisans Of NJ. Jules Ferry, FORM
erly prime minister. The Radicals
look to Clemenceau as their leader.
They are as eager as the Nonarchists
for the overthrow OF the Republicans,
but only that they may give theg gov.
eminent more radical Ieanings. The
Republicans wish to maintain q more
parliamentary form of government,
but the Radicals wish to abolish the

A Sensational Divorce Case in Chicago.

The Chicago Tribune says: The only di-
vorce sensation was in Judge Tuley's court,
where Mrs. Doran was seeking a divorce.
Mrs. Dor;,n, in happier days, was Mary A.
Woo, and shelived in Winnipeg, Man., where
her father, the Hon. Edmund Burke Wood,
was chief justice OF the province. The COM
plainant is only twenty, and in March,
1888, she was only seventeen. She says in
her bill that when she became the wife OF
James Frederick Doran, the young man
represented himself to be the paying teller OF
the Bank OF Montreal and member OF an
excellent and aristocratic family OF that
city. He said, moreover, that his grand
father was going to give him as a wedding
gift furnished house and a monthly allow
ance OF 500 over and above his salary.
Mrs. Wood gave the daughter $500, which
the husband kind y consented to take care OF
as they started upon their wedding journey.
She says she never saw the money again.
When she reached Montreal she found her
new relatives to be very common people,
living not in Montreal, but at Lachine,
She also says thatit transpired that Ddran
while in Winnipeg, had lost his place as
teller in the bank, and was defaulter to
the amount of$1 $50. The deficiency had
been made good by the grandfather, as
well as similar one for S1,7OO due the
bank in St. Johns, N. B. The young wife
telegraphed to her mother, who came at
once from Winnipeg. After sojourn at
the seaside they came to Chicago, and now
live at the Woodruff hotel.
81 don't know about this said Judge
Tuley. If every woman who has been
deceived were entitled to be divorced, this
court would never do any other kind OF
business. You have got to make out a
case OF desertion. I will read over Che
testimony, but don't know

Tho RoblnsAa Circus Train wrecked Neafi
Fergus Ealas. Mimi, and Five Men.
Killed.
At s o'clock Sun6ay morning the 18th,
inst, John Robinson's train, in two sec
tions. was coming into Fergus Falls, Mimi,
from Wahpeton, Oak, on the Northern
Pacific railroad, about four miles west
of the city, coupling broke and the
rear seven cars of the first section ran down
the steep grade into the engine of the second
section at the rate of forty miles an
hour. The caboose and two sleeping
cars. containing 1 60 sleeping men, composed
a portion of the section which
had broken loose. The engineer of
the approaching train stopped his engine,
and he and the fireman jumped and were
saved, but both sections crushed into each
other, killing five men outright, fatally injur-
ing three, and lnjuring ten or twelve others
slightly. The watchman of the train, trying
to warn the sleeping men OF the danger Of
the collision, was killed himself, refusing to
desert, although aware that acolllsion was
inevitable He was frightfully mangled.
His heart was found on top OF a fat car
some distance away, his bowels living on
the ground and body cut to pieces.
Had the eng ineer OF the rear section only
a moments more time, he could have
backed his train and avoided the calamity.
But it was too late, and the cars struck his
engine with tremendous force, throwing the
three sleepers from the track, and smash
ing them beyond recognition.
No performers or animals were hurt.
The men killed were the Waterman Wilson
and four canvassmen The engine wac
badly smashed and cars reduced to kind
ling wood. The most remarkable fact is
that more were not killed and injured.
