The Lincoln Estate in the Bluffs.

Twenty years ago this month there
was u case in court here which brings in
the names of several persons noted
throughout the land. The case was en-
titled Norman B. Judd VS. Thomas Lin
coin. 1t was brought in what was then
the chancery court, with Judge Day pre-
siding. 1t seems that Norman B. Judd
gave to Abraham Lincoln mortgage
for $3 900, the property being tract of
land lying south of the Union Pacific
tracks, near the river, and number of
lots in Riddles addition. This mort
gage was afterwards paid and this suit
was brought to remove the cloud from
the property. David Davis was the ad-
ministratOr of the Lincoln estate, and
of the heirs Thomas Lincoln was the
only minor. Attached to the papers are
affidavits signed by Robert Lincoln and
others. and the decree of the court
cleared up the cloud to the land. The
abstractors in running up the chain of
title are nowadays coming quite fire.
quently upon names which are now so
noted that their appearance cannot but
excite comment.

What That Resolution Means.

At the meeting OF the city council on
Monday evening II resolution was intro
duced granting to the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy railroad the right of
way on Fourteenth street from Eleventh
to First avenue ana thence to the Mis-
souri, river. This resolution was ordered
TO its second reading undera suspension
of the rules, and was then referred to a
committee constituted of the city solic-
itor. city engineer and council commit
tee on streets and alleys.
The introduction of this resolution has
caused no little speculation as to the
purpose of the 90" Interviews with
railroad and city officials and the own
ers OF extensive properties in the lower
portion of the city has developed cer-
tain facts which are of general interest.
The resolution was introduced by II. j.
Evans. He is connected with the
Omaha Il Council Bluffs Bridge
company, as well as the owner
OF large land interests on that
part of the city. He is one of number
of men whose property values depend
upon the development and occupancy of
that vacant tract. In order to secure
this development people must be in
uuCeu uo COME III anu SeIIlc mere. mere
must be located lumber yards, coal
yards and the other necessary incidents
to city life. This will cause the various
railroads to seek extensions of their
lines to this place. This is believed to
be the purpose of the "Q"in the passage
of this resolution. 1t is only a question
of time when other roads will desire the
same thing at the hands of the council.
That this road or any other will seek
Mt this time to secure entrance into
Omaha by the way of the new bridge is
hardly a possibility. The Chicago, Bur-
lingtOn & Quincy runs into Omaha now
and the benefits derived from doubling
its trackage there cannot be commen-
surate to the expense involved in secur-
ing this right of way.
All who are interested in the matter
of developing that part OF the territory
of the city are strong in the belief that
large population will be called in and
a continuous city be ultimately built
from here to Omaha, OF which Broad way
will be the chief avenue Of travel and
traffic. These are the purposes and pros
poets which underlie the presentation of
this resolution to the city council.

He Pays For His Whistle.

When the We'll clothing store went
into bankruptcy Henry Levy came here
to take charge of the stock and superin-
tend the closing Of the business. He is
now involved in a little complication
which may cause him serious trouble.
The difficulty as given by the various
persons interested Is as follows: The
boys at the store were in the habit OF
playing billiards at the rooms OF Rudio
& Sears and running in debt for their
sport. Levy guaranteed the payment
OF these bills to the firm and the boys
claim that sufficient was taken out OF
their wages by Levy for this purpose.
This, it is claimed, was gambled away,
anyway it did not find its way to the
Golfers Of the Manhattan. On the 25th
of January Levy called at the Manhat-
tan and gave check on the savings
bank for $500. This was to pay a bill
OF $500 and he received 500
in cash. The check was taken to the
bank, but there was no money on de-
posit to Levy's credit. He left shortly
after without settling the matter. He
is now in St. Joseph, Mo. The neces-
sary papers for his arrest upon the
charge Of obtaining money under false
pretenses were made out yesterday and
placed in the hands OF Frank Yenawine,
who returned to his home in st. Joseph,
last evening. Levy will probably be
arrested to-day, and held until a requi-
sition can be obtained, when he will be
brought back here for trial. The firm
say they have been imposed upon many
times and this move is made to secure
justice and serve as lesson to others.

Dear Sir:-Hoping that you will for
give us for not answering your kind
letter before. which we received some
time ago, but think we are excusable
to some extent, for having SO much
work to do, and caring for poor Eta.
I suppose you have heard OF her death
ere this. If not, she passed very peace
fully away the morning of the 9Th. She
felt grateful to you and your church for
that money, and we also send thanks.
Pa says he would like to have letter
from Colonel Daily. as he was his old
school teacher in Ohio and a comrade in
the army. May be you know him. l

very grateful for. and in their affliction

A "HellO" OF q Business.

Yesterday afternoon the BEE reporter
called upon Manager Lane for some
points relative to the telephone service
OF the city. These are matters Of gen.
eral interest and are here given. Mr..
Lane has occupied his present position
nearly three years. When he assumed
it there were but 1876 subscribers upon
the list and there was anything but q
general feeling of frindliness toward the
"new-fangled speakin' thing" Now the
sentiment has greatly changed, and
with the change has come additional
subscribers, SO that to-day the list num-
bers 2Sl; IT'S miles OF wire and 25 miles
OF poles are required in the operation of
the system in the city. Five miles more
are required between here and Omaha
and fOrty-tive miles between here and
Avoca. During the past year the sys-
TEN has been worked at a serious disad-
vantage on account Of the impossibility
OF getting instruments, switch-boards
and cables. From January TO June l,
1887, there was an increase Of fifty
subscribers, and from that time until
December l there was no increase, al
though there were forty applications
these instruments have been supplied.
Within short time complete list will
be placed in the hands Of every sub
scriber In the city.
The calls and connections average
between fifteen hundred and two thOus-
and per day. About one hundred and
fifty connections are made with Omaha
and twenty-five with points east of here.
To do this work five operators, beside
the manager, are required during the
day and one at night. Business Is tran
sacted with nearly every town in the
state, as they can all be put in connec-
tion with the main line that runs into
this city. The reporter was allowed the
privilege OF talking with the operator
at Atlantic, which, by the use OF long
distance transmitters, was done with
comparative ease. The distance be-
tween the points is afty-nine miles. and
communication has been just as easil,

The District Court.


In the district court the case Of Rich
ardson VS. Scott continued to occupy the
time. The cross-examination OF Mrs.
Richardson, the plaintiff, was not con-
cluded until no on, and in the afternoon
Mr.. Plunkett, a farmer, was examined
as to values Of various property in
volved, and the attorneys spent so much
time in Offering objections and arguing
over them that the case progressed
slowly. 1t seems that the case will be
on the board for two Or three days
longer.
Yesterday was the day set for the
trial Of the Arch Coifman case but this,
Of course, is held back and will not be
started until the present case is con-
cluded.
The grand jury is at work and the
trial OF these criminal cases will come
mp after the Coffman case has been dis
posed Of.
Several prisoners were arraigned d
yesterday and those who were too poor
to employ counsel were assigned attor-
neys by the court. Those arraigned
we're: Ed Adams, for stealing Chris
Durr's team; Harry Wind, for forgery;
w. T. Hall and John Quirk, for conf
