COYNE GAINS A VICTORY
The Iowa Cas- Decided In His Favor
and the "Wapsie Farm" is His.

The long existing and somewhat cele-
brated litigation between Fluegel and
Coyue came to a close, SO far as the
civil proceedings over the Wspse farm
title are concerned in the district court at
Davenport last night, when, without ar
gument on either side. Judge Howat de-
cided in Coyne's favor, dismissing the
suit for want of equity, and intimated in
his ruling. which was very brief, that as
between Coyne and FlIegel he could
distinguish no difference in their modes
of business. but that they had simply
fallen out and that litigation had fol
lowed. The chief technical point on
which the decision was based. was Sec
ton of the Iowa statutes which prevents
the introduction of any evidence to sc,
writing, such as a certified conveyance OF
deed would show. While there was
abundance of verbal proof. no written
admissions of Coyne as to the terms OF
the transfer Of the ''Wspsie farm" could
be introduced. The decision was there
fore in Coyne's favor.
The difference in the methods OF
practice in the Illinois and Iowa courts, u
says the Democrat Gazetts sis well repre-
sented in this csse-the difference be.
tween the common law practice which is
so much in vogue still across the river
and practice under the code which makes
trials lively and comparatively brief in
time in Iowa"
Mr.. Adair Peasants. one of the coun-
sci in the case, was taken suddenly and
seriously i'll, while the judge was read
ing his decision, and for short interval
lost consciousness entirely, falling heav-
lily upon the floor. Other attorneys and
friends rushed to his assistance and relief
and as soon as he had recovered suffi-
GENTLY he was driven to his home in this
city. The attack was probably due to
overwork and anxiety. superinduced by
the suffocating eloseness of the court
room. Mr.. Peasants will be abou,
again in few days.

SERIOUS MINE ACCIDENT
Attended by Remarkable Escape.
Blasting Powder Explosion.

A Peculiar Catastrophe Near Cable
Attended by Remarkable Escape:
Blasting Powder Explosion.
A very peculiar and altogether serious
| accident occurred in the mines of the
Coal Valley Mining company near Cable
last Sunday afternoon. 1t seems that four
young men. whose names are Joseph
Swanson. Albert Carlson, Jacob Jacob
sen and Msgnus Nelson. who for year
or more. had been working with the fence
gang of tie R. I. s. P. road, and two Of
whom had previously worked in the Gal
va mines. were, at the opening of winter,
employed as miners. They occupied for
temporary abode. hut directly over the
mine. and it now developes that the men
were in the habit of visiting the mines Sun.
days. and making tour through them.
unknown to Ne superintendent. On the
day in question they entered one of the
rooms fully mile into the mine, to
look after a twenty-five pound keg
of giant powder such as is used for blast,
ing purposes. 10 the mines. They reck>
lessly opened the keg to look at the pow
der and in doing so spilled some of the
explosive material. The top of the keg
was quickly replaced and just as the men
were about to leave the apartment. one
of the number held his lamp down to the
floor to ascertain how much had been lost.
The flame caught the trail of powder and
a violent explosion followed Immediately
The men were all terribly burned except
Jacobsen. aud all thrown down with ter
rife force, so that Mr.. Jacobsen while
escaping injury in the way of powder
burns. suffered painful bruises and scalp
wounds. The other three were shock
ingly burned, Mr.. Swanson being the
most seriously so. Their faces were
scorched and blistered and torn until
their eyes in their Inflammation seemed
to stand out like Deeds of fire.
The most natural impulse was to get to
the surface and summon assistance as
soon as possible, but the men were in
such state of agony and so bewlldered
by the sh ock that they forgot the way
out and became scattered about the mine
and for several hours they wandered
about suffering pains which can better be
