HOW IT WILL END.
Some Speculation as to the
Outcome Of the Colon
Case.
The Prosecution Thought to
Be Slightly Discouraged
at the Outlook.
Health officer Kilvington
Makes Things Lively for
an Undertaken.
The Grand Jupy's Work and
Report Upon the Poor
Farm.

When the criminal court was raped
to order Yesterday, every one present
expected that before night something
definite concerning the celebrated
Collom forgery case would be known.
But such is not the case. From present
appearances J. Frank COLON, alleged
to have perpetrated lot of the most
colossal tOrgerieS on record, may not
again be placed on trial, at least not on
the evidence concerning which the jury
disagreed at the fall term of court.
When the COLON case was called,
Eugene NJ. Wilson, counsel for the de-
PENDANT, announced that he desired to
leave the city on business during the
term, and asked for continuance until
next term. County Attorney JamlS0n
offered no objection and the case was
put over, all parties appearing well
the matter. 1t will be remembered
that the ShOtwell case was put
over in Just about the same manner
and this affords ground, perhaps. for
cOnjecturing that COLON will never
again be called upon to defend himself
from possible term in the penitentlary,
at least not in connection with the
spasms, QuaverS. vanishing lines and
solutions of continuity found in the
signatures of John I. BlaiSdell. There
the matter rests.
There are some more trials coming on
at this term of court which will go
long way toward proving or dlsproVlng
the matter set forth above. These eases
are the eighteen suits in which Colon
and Blaisdell are joint defendants,
brought to secure Judgment on the
notes, some of which are the ones on
which the indictments against COLON
were found. If Blaisdell loses these
suits it Will be another link in the
chain of evidence to establish Collom'S
innocence. But should BlaiSdell win,
there would be a little ground on which
to bring COLON to trial again. Even
should such be the case, it is extremely
doubtful if the criminal proceedings
ever be reopened. Public feeling re-
garding this case has largely died out.
and that goes a long way in the prose-
cutiOn of such cases.
Regarding the story that certain notes
have been discovered which were made
after the time when Blaisdell became
suspicious of COLON, Assistant County
Attorney Nye says there is nothing IN
it. The existence of these notes has
been known ever since the proceedings
against COLON were begun. They are
dated late in July. some of them after
the date of the talk between Blaisdell
and Cashier Chamberlain in regard to
the amount of paper out. 1t is not de
MED that these notes have been cOnsid-
cred by the grand jury, but what con-
clusionS respecting them was reached
is not yet known. They are not, how
ever, by any means new feature OF
the case. Mr.. COLON claims that the
notes were signed in blank and were
dated later.

To StOp Cable Cars.

l.. E. Ransom, a Minneapolis man.
has invented cable car brake which
will soon be tried in st. Paul on the
steep Selby avenue grade. 1t is claimed
that the brake will stop the car within
few feet. The brake consists of a
wedge-shaped piece of iron, which is
dropped upon the track and blocks the
wheels. A groove in the wedge allows
it to fit closely to the rail. The wheel is
raised as the wedge is lowered, and the
weight of the car is in this way thrown
uDOD the brake.
