DIDN'T SEE THE POINT.
Wants $1,000 for the Result If {
Practical Joke.

Practical Joke.
One man in Abilene does not see the
point of practical jokes and the proba-
bilities are that there will soon be one
who will wish his propensity for per-
petrating them had never been devel-
oped.
A $1,000 damage suit is on the taps
as the result of joke that took place
sunday night in the restaurant of w.
l.. Judy on Second street. One G. B.
Seat, a working man whose chief labOrs
are in cleaning cellars, cesspOols, etc.,
was wandering about the restaurant
when it occurred to the proprietor and
some friends that it would be huge
joke to try loaded pipe on him. No
sooner proposed than it was arranged
for. Tobacco was vigorously mixed
with powder and when Seat came in
the pipe was handed him. He was
quite overcome by the unexpected
courtesy, not beng used to such royal
treatment, and accepted with pleasure.
Two or three whiffs were enough to set
the internal machine off and for a
moment he thought Vesuvious had
erupted. His face, nose, eyebrows
and hair were burned and blackened.
How the jokers laughed! 1t was so
very funny that they could not contain
themselves and the more Seat suffered
the more they haw-hawed.
The real joke came in this afternoon,
however, when Sheriff Nall served q
summons on Judy that he had been
sued for 81 900 damages for maliciou:
injury of Seats person. The bill Of
particulars is for ''disiguring the per
so1. the features, the eyes and TIT
face" The items are: Physician
bill, $50; medicine, So; loss of time
$165; mental and bodily injury, $500
The gentleman will have a chance Il
explain in the district court where tn
Joke was. Seat has an attorney VIII
will push his case, and the fun will b
very funny indeed when court sits.

MlSKlMMIN NOT GUILTY.
STRONG EVIDENCE PLAUSIBLY
EXPLAINED BY HIS COUNSEL.
1t Is Claimed That the Coins Found in
His Yard Were Put There to In
criminate Him-A Witness Who
Cannot Be FOund-An Interesting
Case

Cannot Be FOund-An Interesting
Case.
The proceedings of the Z. S. court a
Topeka this term have considerable in
terest for Dickinsonians on account Of
two or three local cases being consid
cred there.
The case of A. N. Miskimmin, Of
Solomon. was on trial the latter R&ri
of last week and first part of this. Ac'
cordiDg to the court proceedings, as
given in the Capital, the testimony's
story was in substance as follows:
In the year 1889 there was good
deal of counterfeit gold coin in circu-
Iation around Solomon City, and Thorn
as Rowe, resident of that place, was
arrested early IN the summer for pass
ing so gold piece on hotel keeper
by the name of Masterson at Ellsworth.
Rowe has been indicted in the United
States court, but has not yet been tried.
He was let out on bail. After his ar
rest he swore he got this $40 and $40
more that he had on him from A. NJ.
Miskimmin, then doing business as
jeweler in Solomon. Rowe appeared
willing to tell what he knew, and ar
rangements were made between him
and Sheriff Baldrich of Ellsworth cOun'
ty, and VIM. II. Shaw, "a government de-
,tective, to procure more evidence
against Miskimmin, and under these
arrangements Rowe went to Miskim-
minis store and bought from him 500
in SIS and SO counterfeit coins and
handed them over to the detective.
Thereupon Miskimmin was at once ar
rested, and it is claimed that on his
arrest they searched his house and yard
and found buried in the front garden
about $4,000 in unfinished S. and $40
gold pieces, and in the house a solution
used for plating the coins; also some
plaster of paris used for making mOldS,
and quantity of tissue paper such as
is used for wrapping around counterfeit
coins.
THE DEFENsE'S ARGUMENT.
Evidence for the government seemed
quite strong, but the line of the de-
defense was that Rowe, in order to gain
leniency in his case, turned over to the
officers of the law coins that he got not
from Miskimmin, bit from some other
source, perhaps made himself, and that
the money found in Miskimmin's yard
was buried there by Rowe as a further
circumstance against Miskimmin for
the purpose of faftening the guilt on
him.
One of the detectives who worked up
the case gave the court and jury prac-
tical lesson in the modus operandi of
milling" the counterfeit coin. w. D.
Curhch, chemist, was upon the stand
and gave expert testimony relating to
the kind of metal contained in the coun-
terfeit coin and the effects of .the acids
employed in their manufacture.
: Timothy O'Brien was Summoned as
a witness for the prosecution. The de-
fendant's attorneys subpenaed an ex
warden of the penitentiary to prove that
O'Brien was convict under him. The
witness seemed to fear to have his rec
ord shown up, for he disappeared and
his whereabouts is unknown.
The pleas OF the attorneys occupied
Monday and yesterday and no verdict
had been reached last evening.
