Proves That Attorney Akcrly Is InnOccn
OF the Charge Mado Against Him.
Deputy Register of Wills James Hop
kins, after thorough and diligent
search through the musty records of
the office, found on Saturday afternoon
the caveat in the famous Nichols will
case, and that removes the imputation
cast upon Attorney Byron +. Akerly,
who was deputy in the registers office
when the caveat was filed on Oct s,
1886, of having thrown it in the waste
basket.
Yesterday, before Attorney J. Alton
Davis, master in partition in the estate
of Mrs. Hiram Nichols, James Nichols
was allowed the sum Of $1,000 as one
fifth Of her estate. This is a compli-
Gated case. but. briefly. the summary is
this: Hiram Nichols and wife lived at
Clarks Summit and owned considerable
property. She owned q large estate in
her own right. and died without maxi
ing a will. He made q will which dis
inherited one of his sons, James. there
being another son, Asa A., and three
daughters.
The litigation that ensued since the
death of the parents has gone long
way toward eating up the estate In
counsel fees and court costs. The cs-
tate Of the mother was settled up yes
terday. and had nothing to do with the
present trouble. Hiram Nichols died
on Sept. 20. 1886. testate. On Oct. b the
caveat was filed in the office of Register
A. C. Atherton, and given to Attorney
Akerly. who was then deputy.
He filed It according to law, but when
a search was recently made for It, It
was nowhere to be found. Ex-Regis-
ter Atherton swore that his deputy told
him he threw the caveat in the waste
basket.
This created quite sensational feel
ing against Akerly, but the finding of
the document exonerates him from an
uncomfortable position.
This caveat was filed at the instance
of James Nichols. the dislnherited son,
and was to notify the register not to
admit to probate the will, as he intended
to contest IT,

The allcgtion that the car was run

people who own property along the
streets traversed by the road. This is
the first case in this county where such

TWO ENGINES COLLIDE.
Wreckage Strewn All About the
NORTHWESTERN Railroad Yards
at KenOsha.

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 19.-[Special.]=
A head-end collision occurred in the yards
OF the North Western road last evening
in which many freight cars and both en-
gine2 ere demolished and two fremen
were badly injured, one of them probably
fatally.
n No. 1877 on the North Western
wa going north at 1870 o'clock it was
struck by a special train going south.
Both trains were going at a high rate of
speed at the time of the accident. The
special train was on the side track, but
IN some manner the switch had been
turned and the engine was switched onto
the main line just as the regular train
rounded into the yards. The two en-
glnes came together with terrific force
and the engine of the regular train was
thrown from the track and dumped into
the ditch, being almost buried in the sand.
Frank Palmer, the fireman on train No.
1S4, was caught between the tender and
the cab and was so badly crushed that he
will in all probability die of his injuries,
His leg was mangled in such a manner
that amputation will be necessary. The
fireman on the regular, whose name is an
known, was also caught in the wreck and
plnl0ned where he was Scalded with esCap-
Ing steam from a pipe that burst immedi-
ately after the collision. Both men were
taken to Chicago for treatment.
Two of the freight cars were loaded
with forty Texas steers, which were be-
ing shipped to the northern part of the
state. Eighteen of the bovines were
killed outright and the remaining TWEEN
ty-two escaped and stampeded down the
main street of the town. The below
ing of the steers and the noise of their
hoofs on the pavement crea ted a small,
sized panic among the residents for a
time and everyone sought the shelter of
their homes. A corps of policemen were
soon on the scene and they succeeded in
shooting four of the animals. The rest
OF the drove are still straying about the
streets and some of them nave made
ghelr way into the country district.

WANTS HIS FREEDOM.
New Phase in the Recent Dry Goods
Failure at Black River
Falls.

Black River Falls, Wis, Oct. 49,
Especial. 1.-The failure of Rosenberg
Bros, which occurred in this city near
ly one year ago, and for which Ben
Rosenberg, the senior member of the
firm, has peer confined in the county
Jail by order of Judge Bailey for the
past eight months for contempt of court
in his refusal to answer certain direct
questions when on the witness stand con-
corning the disposal of $4,000 worth of
goods purchased by TIE firm some six
months previous to the failure, is again
receiving ar airing. The invoice taken
by the sheriff shortly after the store was
closed on executions showed but Il little
more than $4,000. At the same time
his creditors, some siXty-two i'll number,
had claims against the firm aggregating
over $4,000, and the entire amount had
been purchased within twelve months
and the greater portion within six
months just previous to the failure. Up
on application of the creditors a re-
ceiver was appointed and Mr.. Rosenberg
was cited to appear before Judge Bailey
at Eau Claire to give information as to
what disposition was made of the goods.
The defendant claimed he was unedu-
Gated and knew nothing about book
keeping and the goods were simply gone
and there was nothing to show for them.
The judge held Rosenberg in contempt
for refusing to reveal the goods or show
what became of a reasonable amount
of them. Defendants counsel went be-
fore the Supreme court and asked for a
writ of habeas corpus, which was denied,
Judge Bailey being sustained in all his
rulings. Mr.. Rosenberg has now secured
Attorney Sanborn of the firm of Spooner.
Sanborn & Kerr of Madison, who has
spent some time in this city the present
week going over the entire case, and it
is claimed by one who is in a position to
know that enough of the property will
be accounted for to secure Mr.. Rosen-
berg's release. The defendant will be
aiken before Judge Bailey at Neillsville
on the 21st inst. for further examina-
ton, when a new phase in the ease will
be introduced in which A. H. Lipman,
u brother-in-law of the defendant and
clerk in the store at the time of the fail
ure, will he examined.

CLUBS MAY COMBINE.
Effort to Create a Friendly Feeling
Between Wisconsin Hunting
Organizations.

Oshkosh, Wis, Oct. 16.-[Special IA
movements now on foot among the mem
bers of the different hunting clubs that
own and lease landsin this vicinity for the
extension of certain privileges and
courtesies among themselves by which
a member Of any club can hunt on the
preserves of any other club. The mat
ter was first agitated in this city last
week, and will probably be brought to a
successful conclusion. The clubs di,
rectly interested in the scheme are the
Poygan Gun club, which is composed of
Chicago gentlemen; the Wolf River
Hunting and Fishing club, a Stevens
Point organizations; the Butte DIES Morris
Shooting club, n the Fox River Hunt
ing and Fishing club, which are Oshkosh
organizations. A conference of the
leading officers of the different clubs will
soon be held n the matter given serl-
GUS attention.
Local sportsmen state that some time
next winter an effort will be made for
the consolidation of all these %organiza,
tions into one club. This, of course,
will result in making one vast game
preserve of she extensive marshes, which
are owned and controlled by these clubs.
The intention at present is to call a
meeting some time during the winter
months, at which at least two delegates
from each club will be admitted, and
an attempt made to bring about the
aforementioned results. The Poygan
Gun club controls almost all the hunting
grounds on Lake Poygan; the Stevens
Point organization has lands on Lake
Winneconne and Clark's bay, while the
Oshkosh clubs hold the marshes of Lake
Butte des Morris and also some lands On
the Fox and Wolf rivers. If all these
clubs were merged into one they could
enforce a better observance of the law
and work together and in harmony in the
protection of the game on the entire wa.
tiers Of this vicinity. Besides, this would
offer extensive>grounds for hunting pur-
poses to the members of the different
clubs, while now they are restricted to
the confines of their own territory.
During the recent Visit here of a party
matter was suggested which would be
productive of much good if carried to a
successful termination. The plan as
outlined by Sheriff Pease Of Cook coun~
ty ILL.,, was to have a general meeting
of sportsmen from the upper Mississippi
River for the purpose of formulating o
uniform law for the better protection Of
game and urging the matter upon the
legislatures upon the various states.
One Of the principal matters which will
be brought up for discussion will be a
law to abolish spring shooting, a practice
which is generally by all true
sportsmen. At present the laws of
neighboring states are widely conflicting,
especially on the point just mentioned,
and sportsmen realize the folly of trying
to protect game in one state at any par
ticular period while no protection exists
in neighboring localities. At present
the state game laws are enforced quite
strictly in this locality, especially since
the formation Of the various hunting
clubs which keep guards employed to
prevent both t~respassing on club pre-
serves and hunting out Of season.

BRILII0N SCORCHED.
Firemen Have TO Work Hard to
Save the Town fro De-
StruCtiOn.

Brillion, Wis, Oct. 19.-[Special. 1.-THE
town of Brillion experienced a fire last
night unprecedented in it's history. At
II o'clock the alarm of fire was heard
and soon the livery barn belonging to
A. Bruss & Co. was wrapped in flames.
The fire department was called out and
poured a constant stream of water into
the building, but with little avail, as a
high wind carried the flames to adjoin-
ing buildings. Nine horses were burned
to death in the barn. The loss is proba-
bly, $4,000; no insurance. Besides the liv-
cry barn two brick buildings, one belong
ing to the Pabst Brewing company and
the other to M. Thompson, both of Mil
waukee, were destroyed. The former
was occupied by a saloon and the latter
by a jewelry store. Very little was
sa we'd besides the jewelry which was in
a safe and easily removed. The build
ings and contents. were insured. Good
work on the part of the fire department
saved other buildings close at hand. The
total loss is / 5000; insurance unknown.

Oconomowoc, Wis, Oct. 19.-Attorney
John a. Kelly of this city is preparing to
begin a suit in equity against George p.
Clifford, Jr, b manager and director
Of the Oconomowoc summer circus of
August last, and the forty odd signers
of what is usually called the guaranty
subscription" to the circus fund. John
T. Bartlett is the plaintiff. Mr.. Bart
lett is both q creditor and a signer of the
guaranty subscription. The object OF
the suit seems to be to compel an &C.
counting by the manager and director
as to the moneys received and disbursed
by him, and a decree against all of the
defendants for the amount of plaintiffs
claim. Although nominaily defendants,
some at least of the signers of the guar
anty fun subscription desire such an
accounting and they refuse to pay thei1
subscriptions until it is made. The
plaintiffs complaint seems to contem-
plate the appointment of a receiver, to
Ia Ike possession of the effects of the
show organization and to wind up it's af-
fairs.
