DICKINSON'S DOCKET.
What the District Court Will Have
to Do at Its Next Session.


TO Do st Its Next Session.
On Tuesday, May 18th, the May term
of the district court will begin its Ses-
sion and District Clerk Anderson is
busily engaged in making up the docket
therefor. Dickinson county always has
a larger list of civil cases than criminal
and the rule holds good at this term.
The total number of cases for trial is,
however, considerably less than on for
mer occasions and as many of the cases
are adjourned ones the docket will be
easily cleared.
There are set for trial 14S civil cases,
none of them being of remarkable i'm
portance. Probably the most interest
ing one will be the Judy practical joke
matter
On the criminal list are five cases.
They are:
State VS.. A. J. Smith-Smith mort
gagged his dray mules TO several diff
ferent parties, drew the money and
skipped to Nebraska. lie was brought
back last week after having eluded the
officers for nearly year.
State VS.. II. NJ. COoley-Cooley is
the Banner City young man who drew
a revolver on his sisters lover and
caused considerable excitement in the
usually quiet city of Banner thereby.
State VS.. J. J. Decentralization
sold a farm at Solomon and after the
land had gone out of his possession cut
trees growing on the place and is
charged with destruction of property.
State vs.. Paul Guyer-This case is
from Harrington. Guyer was at the
rear end of the weapon which killed
two mules last fall aud is to answer
for the deed.
State VS.. a. G. Means-This is an
other HeringtOn case, Means being
the man charged with rape on an esti-
Unable lady living north of that city.

SECURED HIS MAN.
4. J Smith of Mule MOrtgaging Fame
Captured.


Sheriff NALL returned Friday from
Plainfeld, Neh., where be went after
A. ]. Smith who about year ago
skipped out after mortgaging to several
different parties some mules he had
here in use on his dray wagon. He
has been wanted badly by the defrauded
Ioaners and his whereabouts have only
just been learned.
He was found cooking for railroad
outfit near Plainfield and made hard
legal fight to prevent being brought
back, but Sheriff NALL escaped all the
entanglements and landed him safe
and sound behind the bars.
There is vague rumor current that
three log chains and several shackles
held him in the car seat all the way
here. Certain it is that he had no OPP
portunity of getting away, nor is it
probable that any criminal will again
escape from Dave NALL.

Miskimmin Again Under Arrest.

A. NJ. Miskimmin, the Solomon City
party who was acquitted in the United
States district court, Tuesday, of the
charge of counterfeiting, was re-arrested
last night by Deputy United States
Marshal Leon DeBost, on a warrant
sworn out before United States Com
missioner E. A. Wagner, by w. Ii.
Shaw, special agent of the United
States treasury department, charging
him with having counterfeit coin in
his possession, manufacturing, circu-
lating and dealing in the same. He
waived examination and Commissioner
Wagner fixed his bond at 81 500,
which Judge Foster on application, re-
duced to 81 200. Miskimmin spent last
night in Jail, but he expects to give
bond. The prosecution claims to have
strong evidence against him in this
case which they were unable to secure
in the former case.-[State Journal.

The Raniditv of Thonrht.

Prof. Donders, of Utrecht, recently
made some interesting experiments in
regard to the rapidity of thought. BY
means of two instruments, which he
calls the neomatachograph and
the noernatachometer, he promises
some important and interest
ing results. His experiments up to date
show that it takes the brain one .O67 of
9, second to elaborate a single idea.
Writing in regard to this, Donders says:
Doubtless the time required for the
brain to act is not the same in all indi-
Viduals; believe, however, that these
instruments may be perfected until we
will be able to determine the mental
caliber of our friends, without our friends
knowing that we are testing their apt
ness" The professor further says: For
an eye to receive an impression requires
.o77 of second, and for the ear to ap-
nreciate sound, .149 of a sound is all
that is necessary; which, however,
that the eye acts with nearly double the
the rapidity of the ear"

A rhievish Goose.

Mrs. Bohem, of Dover, N. J., missed
many valuables from her house. A
goose, one of flock owned by Mrs
Bohem, had habit of tapping on the
kitchen door to ask for food. When
the door was opened it would walk into
the kitchen and, after being fed, would
sit down near a window in which the
sun shone. If left alone it would pick
up anything it could and carry it to a
box in a closet and push it under out
of sight One day it was left alone for
a moment. One of the family entered
the room rather suddenly and caught
it running toward the closet with a
Waterbury watch in its bill. The watch
had been lying on table. A search
was instituted and the hiding place dis
covered. Among the things found were
two gold thimbles, comb, two scarf
pins, several spools of sewing silk and
some lace.-Exchange.
