CARTER NS NEY.
This Complicated Case Gone Over for
 Two Weeks.

| The cases of Loren R. Carter against Mrs Catherine Ney for possession of .l little 10 certain property situated on Baldwin street was given another tuIn- ble backward to-day in the district court. An unexpected obstacle 10 hear ing the ease arose in the person of City Attorney Kellogg, the city hav- in" Sl .Gin belonging to tie defendant.
 and this. her counsel, Messrs Brad- street and Russell and Senator Ken- nedy. representing heirs to the estate, say Was illegally taken possession of. NIr Carter is represented by the ONeilis. The case is one of the most compii-
 cated that has ever come before the district court. and for hours after ad- iournment was taken to-day to week | from next Saturday, the attorneys en- gagged sat and tried to explain where
 each was at ill the puzzle.
 Five years ago the property of the | defendant which is. or was. worth at
 that time about Sl6.0UO, it is claimed.
 was sold by the city sheriff at public
 auction for Sl,GOO, to recover for liens | that were placed upon it by the city 1 for Improvements. Mir Carter bought he property and certain alleged con
 ditionS of the purchase is what the
 present suit is based upon. Mrs Ney's counsel say Mir Carter bought it for | her. This is denied by the plainti1f's
 counsel. Judgment for foreclosure | was given by the district court, how l ever The defendant and her heirs | claim they were never given notice of
 the sale or notified 10 be in court to
 oppose the motion for foreclosure. That l was five years ago and about year
 ago the case came actually before the I md lo. 1n, ,iray.x n,,. T vcrS motions. Saturday it was set
 down for hearing to-day and every
 thing was ready for progress. when City Attorney Kellogg ascertained that the defendants claimed that the as SessmentS for the alleged improve
 ments were illegal and the liens on the sale of the property We're also illegal. Mr Kellogg knew practically nothing about inc case and for EiHn to allow
 it to proceed would actually mean t@rantiug permission to both the de-
 fendants and the plaintiff 10 trample
 upon the cityS rights. Mr Kellogg
 asked for an adjournment of three
 weeks anyway. WhereupCn Senator Kennedy said that if an adjournment
 was allowed he would want it for three months at least as legislative matters would keep him busy for that
 time Mir Kellogg explained that he
 was very busy also preparing for leg |islativc matters pertaining to the city land on criminal matters which will lkeep the superior court at work for two weeks at the least. To help him along Senator Kennedy stated that he would present bill ill the senate for the appointment of an assistant city lattorney, who should. of course, belOn1
 to the republican party. Finally ad- liournment was taken for two weeks.
 and then the lawyers got together to lascertain where they stood in the cas @
 and find cut how the case stood, toA9

ASLEEP ON THE TRACK

Saturday afternoon men employed at the truck farm of Christensen Bros ill Hartford observed q man Stagger- ing along the Consolidated road tracks and directly saw him faiI he got up and struggled along soon falling again. Their attention being diverted to other matters they temporarily forgot the strangers. When the trains were about to pass they thought of the man and found that he was still lying on the track. They hurried over and pulled the man off the track just in time. They took him to one of the greenhouses, where hc finally came around sufficiently to call his rcscuers hard names. They let him sleep. and later he left, none the worse for his experience.

CARRIED OFF THE SAFE.
Contained $12,UOO in Cash-Ihree Men
 Arrested.

S1-,o'c III NioIl III SS -'AN MI Arrested.
 Sioux City. Ia, Feb l1.--Prompt and
 active work by the authorities in Ma nilla. Iowa, resulted in the arrest of three men who are supposed to have
 been implicated i'll rhe theft of a | nit ed States exDress safe said to have contained S4o,OOO.
 The Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul train on which the safe was taken from Sioux City arrived in Manila at S:OJ o'clock on Saturday night. The Omaha train was late and James Stur-
 tevant of Sioux City, the express mes senger did not hurry ill unloading the goods and packages from his car. The express safe. with other articles, was unloaded and placed on q truck on the depot platform and then Sturtevant and the haggageman went to the other end of the platform to get another trllckload.
 When Sturtevant returned he no ticeu that the articles on the truck
 Were disarranged, and Il glance showed that the iron box was gone. There was great excitement. and no time was lost in spreading the alarm. City Marshal Ferriu hastily assembled d posse and vigorous work was begun. Snow lay thick upon the ground, and ii did not take long to discover the tracks of two persons who evidently had been carrying some heavy object directly from the truck as it stood up- on the depot platform. They carried the safe distance of about two blocks and then loaded it into Il wagon which had been left there in waiting. The wagon was driven mile and q half ha md tb..rA h.. fA
 was forced open and the contents were distracted
 The men there abandoned the safe and went their way on new track. It was not difficult to trace them. how ever. and yesterday morning three ar rests We're made. Their names are John Jackson, John SrOyalt and Charles Hayes. All are men who live ill Manila and are well known. Their Ireputations heretofore have not been bad. They siOutly protest their inno- cence. but the authorities believe the evidence conclusive.
 The stolen safe contained ill the
 neighborhood of S4UUoO. Twelve. thou- sand dollars was in cash and the rest in drafts. checks and various articles While the robbery undoubtedly de- | liberately was planned, as the horse
 and wagon were ill waiting in a coll Venient spot. it is not believed that the
 men knew they were making so rich
 a haul. They had no means of know 1 ing the contents of the safe, only that | it was used for carrying ValuableS. They found an unusually favorable op-
 portunity when Sturtevant left the
 safe on the truck and had it not been
 for the telltale tracks in the snow it | i,, 1-alx hnf been made so promptly.
 | Mrs Jackson, wife of John Jackson, also was arrested. but at a Drelimi-
 nary hearing held last evening she was | released. The examination will be
 continued to-day. The three prisoners
 are in jail. having been unable to fur
 nish bonds of S12,C00 each.
 1 The authorities say the shoes of two
 of the men exactly fit the tracks in
 the snow at the depot where the safe
 was carried off

Walked From pittsfeld, Mass
 Stopped at -Almshouse Two Nights.
 Superintendent Moran. of the alms- house, had two rather strange roomera at the institution Saturday night and Sunday. They were Mr and Mrs Charles F. Brewer of Willimantic, who are on their wedding tour and also in search of employment. They struck Waterbury Saturday evening and. hay ing no money, applied to the Selectmen for q place to stay until this morning. When they called at the office there was no one there but Clerk Thomas r. McNIahol. After hearing their story the clerk wanted to know if that was the road to welded bliss. The couple laughed and replied that they hoped fortune would be more favor able to the clerk and others as well, adding that they should nor care to see anyone go through the hardshipS they had to bear up under during the past few weeks. They started from Pitts field, Mass, and tramped It aii the way to Waterbury, and while they looked d tritie the worse for the hard usage, still, considering the long walks they made in this kind of weather. they stood it well and did not make q bad showing at all. The groom is 21 and the bride ten years his senior. They spent the day at the big house on the town farm and left this morning in high spirits. The couple don't appear to be discouraged and told Mir Moran this morning that they relt confident things would soon take q change for me better and that Tn the end all wOtIIu be well. They stated that they belong in Willimantic, where they Were mar ried short time ago, but owing to dull times they were forced to seek en- ployment elsewhere and so far had not been able to find anything to do.
