Waterloo, Sept. IL. A score or
more passengers on Illinois Central

of two travellers who were suffering
from the disease unknown to them
selves. Mrs. William Wilkins and an
S-year-old daughter, who reside at 1913
Logan avenue, this city, are victims
of the dread disease, and their home
was quarantined Saturday afternoon.
Mrs Wilkins and three children,
went to Dubuque last Monday for a
visit with relatives. 1t is presumed
that while there they contracted the
germs Of diphtheria. Friday night the
mother and the oldest daughter COM
planned of feeling i'll and early Satur-
day morning boarded passenger train

hours in coach crowded with other
passengers and unknoWingly exposed
them to the disease.
Upon their arrival in Waterloo, a
physician was called and after dag
nosis Of their illness declared them
to be suffering from well developed
cases of diphtheria. Quarantine was

abroad that two cases of diphtheria

Eldora, Sept. 12.--Judge Evans today
rendered decision in the case of c.. S.
Newcomer against the board of review
of Iowa Falls, sustaining the conten-
ton of the plaintiff that he had right
to offset assessment of national bank
stock to the amount of his liabilities.
1t had been held by the Iowa Falls
board that such AN offset could not be
allowed and owners of the stock in the
bank at Iowa Falls have always paid
assessments on full amount of stock,
regardless of their liabilities. The city
of Iowa Falls did not appear in court to
defend and it is therefore unlikely that
the case will so to the supreme court.
altho it may be taken up by parties in
terested in order to get decision of
the supreme court on the question. The
case was important from legal stand
point, as it will affect holders of bank
stock in many towns and cities in the
state.

Iowa and Omaha Attorneys for Chris
tian File Briefs in Nebraska Court.

Des Moines. Sept 12.-The Iowa and
Omaha attorneys for Marshal Christian
who was sent out to Omaha by the au-
thorities Of Harrison county for Tom
Dennison, on requisition issued by
Governor Cummins and honored by
Governor Mickey, have filed briefs in
the Nebraska supreme court without
waiting the notice. of service of briefs
and appeal by Dennison. 1t is alleged
in the Iowa lawyers briefs that they
believe that Dennison is delaying per-
fecting his appeal, and that he is seek
ing to delay his removal to the state
of Iowa for trial on a criminal charge.
Therefore their action without waiting
the usual course of affairs.
The attorneys for Christian proceed
to demonstrate that the executive war
rant issued by Governor Mickey was
based on the proper showing of facts
1t is claimed that the copy of the
Iowa indictment and the affidavit of
Shercliffe, the man who is now serving
a term for the crime, is sufficient evil
dence on which the governor might act.
1t is claimed that the fact that Denni-
son was in Iowa on or about the time
of the commission of the robbery in
Logan. and the fact that he shortly
thereafter left the state, made him a
fugitive from Justice. The evidence is
discussed to prove that Dennison was
in Iowa shortly after the crime was
committed. when the diamonds were
dug from their hiding place in the
ground. Various; letters written by
Dennison are referred to to prove that
Dennison planned the robbery, went to
Harrison county, Iowa, to dig up the
diamonds, and accounted or attempted
to account to Shercliffe for their value
while this court has nothing to do
with the guilt of the accused" the brief
closes, upon record that shows as
clearly as the one before your honors,

the infamous crime with which he
stands charged, the court will not seek
