How He Was Robbed.

EDITOR ADVOCATE: In December,
1889, being then past 66 years Of age,
became involved in the first law suit Of
my life; and it was in this wise: A
farmer friend Of mine had become rather
heavily indebted to a national bank to
secure which debt he had given said
bank mortgage on all his lands. Fore
closure proceedings were commenced in
1888, but owing to various sst-bscks, the
land was not sold until the last Of De-
cember, 1889. During that summer the
said farmer worked like slave, as did,
also, his little boy, and had raised 100
acres of good corn, besides other crops. A
few days before the land was sold, /
bought OF him eighty acres Of his corn,
paying him part cash, and the balance
what was the same as cash to him. The
corn was ripe when / bought it, but still
standing on the land on the day OF the
mortgage sale. The sale was not con-
firmed till November, at which time
most of this corn had been husked and
placed in piles on adjoining land. Just
as soon Rs the bank obtained title to
the said lands, through its president it
took possession not only of the lands,
but also OF the entire corn crop, includ-
ing that which had bought and mostly
husked out, and would not allow of it's
removal
The result was, that in December fol-
lowing commenced an action in our
district court to recover pay for my corn.
The case was tried in March, 1890, and
/ gained q judgment against the bank
which was satisfactory to me, but the
bank took an appeal to the supreme
court, and that court never reached 9
decision on it until February 8 OF the
present year, when the judgment Of the
district court was affirmed. Now let me
call attention to two or three special
points.
First-During this delay, but espec.
tally toward the last, was very greatly
in need of that money.
Second-In lawyers fees and other eX-
penses it cost me nearly one-third Of the
amount OF the court judgment to get
back the other two-thirds thereof.
Third AS the said bank did, un-
Justly and illegally, take from me what
the courts have decided was my prop
erty, insist that it should have been
compelled to pay every dollar Of the ex-
pense that l had to incur in recovering
the said property.
Fourth-As there are multitudes of
similar cases. insist that one of the
aims of the Peoples party should be to
revise our code of laws 90 as to secure such
results. But We need not expect law
yers to favor such revision, because it
would diminish litigation, probably to
the extent Of one-half. In the present
case, q. g., il those bank officers had
known that, in case Of q suit at law, il
they were beaten they would have to
pay all the expenses on both sides, they
probably would never have seized my
corn,

Kelly was up Town az 6n0 4S@Oh m0nu
ment meeting, but came to the depot
where q big engineer came forward and
said: General Kelly, We have here 9
train Of ten cars to take you back to
Council Bluffs; come, get on board"
General Kelly, after q consultation
with his friends, declined to take the
train, saying it would put his men in the
light OF law breakers. He could not
consciously go on board stolen train.
This decision was approved by his men,
but he was urged to come by the relief
committee. "Ws'll get you a train in
spite Of hell tomorrow" said one of the
engineers.
But Kelly wouldn't 60. "Lst US take
your sick men back" was urged, and so
six men who were disabled were put Cd
board After much hsndshsking and
cheering, in which the women who were
with the train were given q rousing re-
ceptlon, the train went back to Council
Bluffs and the sick men were taken to
the hospitals.
General Kelly issued an order TO his
men to be ready at dsybresk to break
camp and march back to Council Bluffs.
He issued an appeal to the citizens of
Iowa and Nebraska to aid him with
trains and wagons to transport his camp
equipsge and will start across the coun-
try on foot.

over the proposed visitation Of Coxey's

advice Of those whom he has consulted,

the transfer an effort was made to take
a fast mail engine but it flashed in the
pan. Then, when the men seemed ready
to Quit again, one young woman who
stood by group Of Union Pacific en-
gineers said: "If was q man I'd have
an engine"
This was all that was needed. A big
Union Pacific bridge engine, No. 1853,
was standing there. Veteran Engineer
Nick Weeks had his head out Of the
window. "Psps, you'd better get down"
He looked around. There stood his
skRlwsrt son, George Weeks, also a Un-
ion Pacific engineer. On sll sides Of the
engine were men and women, climbing
on wherever they could get hold.
"Papa" got down In few minutes the
men had ten bridge engines and were
buslly searching the yards for empties.
Finally they were found and were soon
on tEeir way to Weston.
HKelly's army was anxlously awaiting
for results OF the efforts of his friends in
Omaha and Council Bluffs. No trains
had passed through there since about
ii o'clock this morning, and the rumors
were so conflicting that they knew not
what to expect. The people near there
are initiating Omshs's citizens and are
giving the army food. Twenty. one citi-
zens of Persia filed several wagons with
provisions and drove over to this place.
They could not get the railways to move
the provisions. The citizens Of Under
wood sent over a load of comGorters and
blankets, and there have been many Wis.
itors to the camp. DR.. Swanson and Mr.
Lee, Of Weston, collected $3.50 thiI
afternoon, which they presented to Gen
eral Kelly. DR.. Lemon and others ar

meeting in the village hall. Lsmor

There are several new patients in the
hospital. The Milwaukee company ran
all their trains and cars out from the
Bluffs this morning, and then pulled up
the tracks near Nicola, so that il the men
captured train they could not 60 far.
Aside from telegrsphic Communica-
tions, this place ia cut of from the out
side world. The telephone wire running
TO the Bluffs was cut in three places this
afternoon by malicious persons. The
wire was repaired by one Of Kelly's men.
Two little girls had seen o wSlldresSsd
man cutting the wire. It is pretty Ger
tain that the work was not done by any
Of Kelly's men.
At 7:30 word was received that 5000
men had captured a Union Pacific train
In the Bluffs and were on their way to
camp.
When the news reached Weston,
Agent Chittenden sent for the section
boss. This individual was ordered to
take his men and tear up enough Of the
Rock Island track west Of the switch to
prevent trains from reaching the town.
Work was begun at once, but before it
had proceeded far, the Ksllyites had
surrounded the section men and per-
susded them to desist. The section
men threw down their tools, one rail
only having been removed. Kslly's men
quickly replaced the rail and drove home

agricultural community. If rigidly
enforced it will possibly result in
the absolute abandonment of farms
by their owners in order to avoid
the payment of mortgage obliga-
lions. With these views | felt it
incumbent to say to the General
Assembly and to the people at large,
without regard to party, that it was
extremely doubtful whether | could
make myself party to the measure
in its present shape. But being
thorough and consistent party man
| determined to convene the party,
which had III State conventions
committed Itself to the passage Of
an assessment bill, for the purpose
of a general conference and eX-
change of views, in the hope that
some satisfactory result might be
reached and remove the serious OBJ
jectiocs | have to the measure in its
present shape. Hence the call for
a party conference, which will be
held on Wednesday night, the 18th
instant. Finding that even this
proposition was antagonlzed by
some of the Senators, who positively
declined to go into caucus and be
bound by any conclusions that
nfigth5 be reached, and being thor
noughly convinced that my action
was proper under the circumstances
the call was proceeded with, and is
now signed by two-thirds of the
Democratic members Of the Gen
eral Assembly. The caucus now
only awaits the call of the char
mar. Not wishing to be in conflict
with the Senators, | gave it as my
| Judgment that it would be best for
the Senate to proceed to pass the
bill and leave the House of Dele
gates to decide its own course.
Hence there was scarcely any oppo-
position in the Senate to the passage
of the bill to-day. | now feel that
| have done all and more than the
people of the State and my party
had a right to expect, and the mat
ter is left with the General Assem-
bly,, reserving to myself the right
TO determine as to my action on the
merits of the question when it
reaches me."

IT IS a DEADLY SPOT.
John Phillips Has q Curious Section
of Indiana Land.
From the Chicago Times.

From the Chicago Times.
Elkhart, Ind, April 20.-A phenomenon
which has long attracted attention from
the people of the immediate vicinity and
has now become subject of decided in
terest throughout this entire section ex-
lists in the southwestern portion of this
county on the farm of John Phillips. The
subject of this marked interest is a patch
of ground not more than twenty feet in
diameter and of not unusual appearance,
yet the fact is undisputed among those
familiar with the circumstances that it
possesses peculiar and wonderful proper
ties, as it is alleged, and has frequently
been proved to the satisfaction of tho Se
who have investigated the matter, that no
small animal or bird can venture upon it
without sacrificing its life.
This marked bit of territory is located
at about the center of the Phillips farm,
the soil of which is of a light color. and
of sort of clayey consistency, with the
exception of the small spot under consid-
Grafton. This latter is very dark and
heavy so decided and sudden departure
from the surrounding soil as to itself at
tract attention. The spot is not marshy,
but singular in its sudden darkness and
heaviness compared with the adjoining
soil. Several persons, who have visited
the place, aver that this particular place
is in constant though almost impercepti-
BILE tremor. Others say they have never
noticed that condition in connection with
it. However, all are confident that it has
in reality the death-dealing properties to
any living thing not strong enough to
withstand the effects of the fabled upas
tree. 1t is regarded with great awe by
the people of the neighborhood, and
nearly all of them relate instances of its
singular power
THE DOG FELL DEAD.
Mr. Phillips says that one day while
hunting his dog ran onto the spot, but
scarcely had the animal passed its bor-
ders before he gave a sharp, stifled yelp,
sprang into the air and fell dead. At first
he did not know to what to attribute the
animals death, supposing it in all proba-
bility to have resulted from some affec-
tion from which the animal had suffered
and of which he was not aware. AS he
was a newcomer to the section at the
time he knew nothing of the reputation
of the fated spot, but when he casually
mentioned the circumstances of the dogs
sudden and peculiar taking off to a neigh
Dor, the latter Immediately told him the
reputation of the place, and advised him
to keep his animals off from it and to
keep Off from it himself
Mr.. Phillips secuted the idea, as he is
man OF good degree or intelligence,
but when, short time afterward, he
picked up dead rabit on the same spot.
with no evidence of a wound or sickness
about it, and subsequently found several
other rabbits, squirrels, polecat, and at
various times different kinds Of birds
that had alighted there, he became in
terested, and talked with his neighbors
about it. He Immediately found that the
reputation of the place was of old stand
ing throughout that section, so old
in fact as to constitute a subject Of com
ment only when additional evidences of
