Council Bluffs, May An important
precedent was established by the ver-
dict of the jury in the case of E. A,
Wickham against the Chicago. Rock
Island g. Pacific Railroad Company. The
verdict was for the plaintiff, awarding
to him the demurrage charges paid on
a consignment of fourteen cars of paw
ing brick. The amount involved was
$145 and interest.
The case was hard fought on both
sides, since 1t involved a precedent con-
corning the payment of demurrage on
delayed consignments of freight. The
suit was instituted by Wickham to re-
cover demurrage which was paid the
Rock Island on the brick used in the
pavement of North Eighth street.
The brick WAS, so the contractors con-
tend, delayed while en- route from Des
Moines and it was claimed that the rail-
road company would not extend the
time for the unloading OF the brick. The
railroad company, however, claimed
that Wickham made no attempt to get
the brick unloaded in the stipulated
time.

Council Bluffs, May 1.-THE record o!
w. C. Rogers, who is in jail here await
ing the action of the grand jury. FOL
attempting the life of c. w. Letch-
ford, and who is suspected of the MUIR
der of Forney, the saloonkeeper, ha:
been investigated. 1t has been foun1
that he is former inmate of the Iowa
state penitent.ary, at Fort Madison, anS
is believed to be paroled prisoner from
other state prisons.
A special dispatch was receives
Tuesday stating that the Clinton po-
lice had discovered that Rogers had
served in the state penitentiary at Fort
Madison, and in the state prisons OF
Wisconsin and Minnesota. 1t was also
said that Rogers was released from the
Ohio penitentiary during March 1897
While at Fort Madison Rogers was
known as William Miller and was sen;
up for a term of years for the crime
of burglary, in southeastern Iowa
county.
While at Fort Madison, week ago,
Sheriff Cousins and Deputy Sheriff
Baker described Rogers to Deputy
Warden Hollowell, inquiring whethe:
he had ever been prisoner there. The
deputy warden stated that the de-
scription fitted former inmate who
was marked with tattoo on his right
arm. The existence of a tattoo on Rog-
er's right arm was not known then
During the visit of l.. u. Fay, and De-
tective Daugherty, of Clinton, in the
city last week, an examination was
made of Rogers arm and tattoo mark,
the figure of woman, was found.
Correspondence was at once COM
menced between the Council Bluffs
and Clinton authorities and the Off
Gals at Fort Madison. The result is the
identity of w. c. Rogers, as William
Miller, alais Frank Parsons, a former
Fort Madison convict.
The Fort Madison officials declare
that Rogers is considered desperate
character. and Sheriff Cousins has
been warned to watch for attempts
from the outside of the Jail to lend as
sistance to Rogers in a Jail delivery.
Extra precautions have accordingly
been taken to guard Rogers.
