They We're Worth $45 Before n Lawsuit
Made Them Cost . 100000.
DIES MONIES, Iowa. Feb. 2.-The Iowa
supreme court has finally affirmed the de-
cission of the lower court in the celebrated
case of johnson vs.. Miller ct al, better
known as "the Jones county calf case"
The verdict of the lower court was for the
plaintiff in the sum of $1,000. This last
jury returned a general verdict and also
answered q number of special ~interrogato-
rles. and the case went to the Supreme
court on the ground that the answers and
special ~interroeatories did not warrant the
verdict. The case has been in the courts
about twenty yenrs and has been tried
several times in the lower courts and has
taken a number of trips to the supreme
court. 1t has bankrupted everybody con-
nected with 1t except the attorneys. The
calves over which this litigation grew were
originally worth $45, and a. to this tim
the costs OF the case have grown to between
of $1,000.

NEW LINE TO HELENA.
Union Pacific Contemplating Extending
Its Road Int Montana.


It's Road Int Montana.
HELENA, Mont. May 27.-It is reported
here that Jay Gould during his coming
visit here will look into the matter of
extending the Union Pacific system SO
as to give it a direct entrance into
Helena over its own lines. Over ten
years ago the Union Pacific started to
build from point on the Utah North
ern direct to Helena. The line was
graded Tor thirty miles up to jefferson
canon, and to within eighty miles OF
Helena, when work was stopped on &C
count OF lack of funds. Two years later
the Northern Pacific made its way here
and got control of the freight business
1t is believed the Union Pacific people
see their mistake now in not completing
their line to Helena. and the eighty
miles remaining of the road will now bt
completed. BY way of the new road
and the Utah Northern to Pocatello, the
short line to Granger and the Unior
Pacific proper to Omaha, the latter road
it is claimed would have the most direct
line from Chicago to this part of the
Northwest.

TRAIN ROBBERS IN MAINE.


Hold UP AN Express.
BANGOR, Me-, May 27.-A gang Of
four or FIVE desperadoes attempted to
hold up train at Enfield. The train
was bound for st. John, and when it
passed Enfield station several shots were
fred at the engineer. Just as the train
was drawing out of Enfield man was
discovered by the fireman crawling over
the tender. He shouted to the engineer
to stop the train, but the latter paid no
notice to his request. But subsequently
the bell was rung, and after the ringing
was repeated the train was brought to q
stop. Immediately party of four men
began firing on the train. The leader
was armed with shot gun, and the
others were armed with revolvers. The
belief is that the men wanted to rife the
mail car The engineer, however started
the train and succeeded in getting be-
yond the reach of the desperadoes' bull
lets before anybody was hurt. The sta
tion agent at Enfield fed for his life. He
was in the act of hanging out the signal
lamp when the gang fred upon him.
One of the bullets struck the lantern.
The affair has aroused the greatest ex-
citement in this section. An effort will
be made to effect their capture.

The Press from Washington says Lord
Salisbury has at last made sort Of re-
ply to Secretary Blaine's proposition
that limited catch of seals in Alaskan
waters be permitted the present season.
1t is not at all decisive one and is in
effect that the English premier is con-
sidering the proposal, and will very
soon announce his opinion. The British
minister has given it to be understood
that Salisbury is fearful of the storm of
indignation which has been provoked
by the report that there is to be a
closed season.

No Cash to Entertaiu q. A. n.

LANSING, Mich, May Ex-Governor
Winans has vetoed bill which had
passed the legislature appropriating
$50, 900 of state funds for the entertain
ment Of the visitors to the state during
the encampment of the Grand Army Of
the Republic at Detroit next August.
The veto was based on constitutional
grounds, the governor holding the ap-
preparation to be diversion of public
funds to private purpose, and 1t was
not unexpected, as the governor had al
ready vetoed bills involving the same
principle. An effort will be made Id
pass the bill over the veto. The failure
to get the money from the state win cut
no figure on Detroit's entertainment Of
the G. A. r. Great pressure had been
brought on the governor to let the hill

Kaiser Takes Them A. an Insult.

LONDON, May GA Berlin dispatch
says that number of petitions have
been sent to the kaiser, praying him to
effect q reconciliation with Bismarck
The petitions come chiefly from manu-
featuring districts, for Bismarck is
especially popular on account of his pol
icy for protection. The kaiser is said to
be deeply hurt by the tone and method
of these documents, and to consider
their contents something in the nature
of depreciation of his own authority.
He has turned over no less than five of
them to the prosecuting officers. Some
of these petitions are in poetry.

LONDON, May 27.--The latest advicea
from st. Petersburg state that the rich
Jewish merchants of that city propose
to follow the example of the Jewish
merchants of Moscow and abandon the
city entirely to the Russians. They are
calling in all the money that they can,
much to the disgust and EN- mbarrassment
of their Russian debtors, many of whom
may have to go into bankruptcy. In
this way good deal of private capital
is leaving Russia for Berlin, Paris, Lon
don and other places. The police do
what they can TO stay this exodus of the
wealthy, but without avail.

MORE LANDS OPEN.
Northwestern Railroads Must Give up
Indemnity Lands.

Northwestern Railroads Must Give up
Indemnity Lands.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Acting Secre-
tary' Chandler has rendered decision
relative to the restoration of certain
railroad indemnity lands to settlement
in the Northwest. On Dec. 80, 1880,
rule Is was entered on certain land
grant railroad companies to show cause
within 30 days from receipt Of notice
why several orders of withdrawal from
settlement of lands within the indem-
nifty belt of their respective grants
should not be revoked and the lands
therein embraced restored to settlement.
A copy of this rule was served on the
following Northwestern railroads: St
Paul and Sioux City; st. Paul, saltwater
and Taylor's Falls;St. Paul and Northern
Pacific; Sioux City and st. Paul; the
Great Northern and the Milwaukee.
The rule was also entered on the Iowa
Railway Land Company, successor to
Land Grant Company, oil Cedar
Rapids, and the Missouri River
Railroad Company, to show cause
why an order Withdrawing from
settlement the lands within the
indemnity limits of the grant of the
state of Iowa for the benefit of said
company should not be revoked and the
lands restored to settlement.
Some of the companies have responded
to the rule by filing written reasons why
orders revoking the withdrawal should
not be made. One company claims that
Withdrawals of indemnity lands for
their benefit was made under provision
of congress by the act of March 3, 1857,
and that of May 10, 1864.
Chandler overrules all claims made
by these companies and orders that all
lands under Withdrawals heretofore
made and held for indemnity purposes
under grants to said roads be re-
stored to the public domain and opened
to settlement. The interior department
officials say that several thousand acres
of land in Minnesota are affected by
this decision.
