the district court yesterday OF suit against

a fractured floating cartilage at the right
knee. For this injury he asks SIS, 900 dam
ages.
The date Of the second accident is not
given in the notice. Welsh says he was
riding in a car belonging to the defendant
company, when the car was derailed and
turned over into the ditch. In this accident
he alleges he received a permanent injury to
his right arm, for which he thinks 50, 900
should be the damages the railway ought to
pay him. Welsh. at the time of the acct
dent, was a laborer in the employ of the de-
PENDANT railway.

Conference BEHIND Closed Doors.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, Feb. S.-(Special y
Behind closed doors in Sioux City today the
officers of the Iowa-Nebraska Wholesale
GrOcers' association met to confer with the
Sioux City jobbers about the trouble over
sugar prices. 1t is declared that the Sioux
City jobbers have been selling sugar at
prices which no other city can meet and
that the legitimate scale of prices must be
restored. 1t is pretty well known that Chi
cago wholesalers have warned the officers OF
the Iowa-Nebraska association that unless
the Sioux City men change their tactics a
fight to a finish, not only in Iowa. but in the
whole transmississippi territory, will fol-
low. The campaign would be waged not
only along sugar lines, but also on other
articles in which Chicago may have the ad-
vantage. The Chicago men say the Iowa
grocers have been demoralizing the prices
and they will not stand it, 1t Is understood
the Grocers' association hopes to avoid
trouble in the matter, but the Sioux City
men maintain they ara following a legiti-
mate line of business and do not propose
to receive the d~ictation of the eastern
houses. They desire TO avoid a war with
Chicago If possible, but do not concede the
point well taken.

GREGORY JURY is I'll OUT.

VI Is ""h Shos
Moss StilI Undecided.
The district jury, before which J. A.. Greg
DRY was tried for shooting and dangerously
wounding Constable Hardin Moss of Love-
land. had failed to arrive at a verdict at a
late hour last night. AS to how the jury
stood could not be learned, but the fact that
the foreman sent a message to his family,
saying he would not be home last night,
was taken to indicate that the members were
not likely to reach an agreement for some
considerable time. The evidence offered by
the state was decisive az to the shooting
of Moss by Gregory and this was not dis
puted by the defense. The coincidence of
both juries in the two trials of Gregory
hanging fire in the manner they have has
led to considerable comment,
The State Detectives association OF Lin
coin, Neb., is looking UP Gregory's record
with a view to trying to connect him with the
murder of an aged Frenchman named Jul
lien, who was killed in Nemaha county,
Neb,, last June Officers OF the association
are now working on a clue which they say
connects Gregory with the crime. They
claim to have evidence that at the time
Julien was murdered Gregory was in Ne
maha county and that shortly after the
crime was committed Gregory appeared in
another party of the country with consid-
cradle money in his possession. Julien was

money, which was not to be found after
