WILL PRESS THEIR SUITS.
Notwithstanding the fact that George
Washington Davis has been adjudged guilty
of wrecking the Rock Island passenger train
and causing the death of eleven persons, the
trial of the first of the personal damage suits
against the company has been set for hear
ing in the district court December 10. The
case is brought by H.. C. Young, admins
traitor Of the estate of ]. r. Matthews, one
of the victims of the wreck. Precipes for
summons for witnesses are being filed with
the clerk OF the court. One of the witnesses
who will be called is Saxton, who in the
Davis trial testified for the state.
Some Sensational developments anent the
result of the Davis murder trial may be
looked for in the future. Afidavits are being
secured to show that at least two of the
jurors had falsified when they swore, that
they had expressed no opinion as to the guilt
or innocence of the defendant. 1t is also
said that an attempt will be made to ex-
hibit Interior influences brought to bear on
the jury. 1t is averred that one or two of
them were on such intimate terms with rep
resentatives of the Rock Island company
that shortly after the verdict was rend red
they were seen drinking in a saloon with
these same interested representatives..
This morning Judge Holmes heard argu-
ments on the motion for a new trial for John
Eager, sentenced for life to- the penitentiary
for the crime OF criminal assault on his
daughter. Eager has already served one
term for a similar crime committed in Sew
ard county. The court took the motion under
advisement.
WILD WITH GOLD EXCITEMENT.
II. s. Chamberlain, a resident of Bethany
Heights, was in Lincoln today in search of
Prof. Herbert Bartlett. The latter is the one
who made such a glowing and sensational
report concerning the alleged richness of the
Milford gold fields. Mr.. Chamberlain believes
that gold exists in paying quantities In the
vicinity Of Peru. He says that a farmer
named May, while sinking a well four miles
south Of Peru, found some metallic rocks. or
nuggets, In which he thought he detected
traces of gold. Some of this was sent to
Omaha by a friend to be tested. On the re-
turn Of the messenger the latter refused to
produce the assayer's certificate. Then the
friend took some of the ore to Kansas City.
Following some peculiar negotiations, which
excited the suspicious of Farmer May, the
Kansas City assayer reported that he had
found neither gold nor silver in the ore.
Soon after this a proposition came from
Kansas City for the purchase of the land.
May declined TO sell, but he is now anxious
TO secure the opinion Of an expert mining
geologist. Hence his inquiry for Prof. Bart
lett.

important secrets Of the ministry OF war

charges were shrouded in secrecy, but
French newspapers declared that Drey-
fus had betrayed or sold important mil

bassy in Paris. This allegation connec.
ing the German government officially

transaction rekindled the flame OF hatred
that smolders in French hearts and
created great excitement i'm Germany.
Fuel was added to the blaze by the
statement that the principal evidence
against Droyfus was a letter in his
handwriting stolen from the German
embassy.
The Berlin press Indignantly denied
that the German embassy was implicat-
ed in any such dishonorable transaction
and Count Won Muenster, the German
ambassador to France, lodged q diplomat

The French minister of war gnardedly

embassy was involved officially in the
affair, but the press of Paris continued
