In connection with this work, pile OF

The congestion OF freight traffic still
continues, though perhaps in a sli liter
degree. At one time lately there were in
the Bethel yard eighty-six freight cars
awaiting unloading, There was a long
tram OF them switched off up on the
Bethel Granite railway line, and mer-
chants in a hurry could be seen unloading
their freight at the foot OF the hill oppo-
site the house OF Albert Lincoln and roll
ing II up the bank. A special train and
gang OF men were sent here one day to
help clear up and disposed OF thirty-two
cars, but the next day saw eleven new cars
thrown off at this station. Railroad men
attribute the larger part OF the trouble to
the fact that the railroad is now burning a
poor grade OF coal which detracts from the
efficiency OF the service in two ways. This
coal is some that was bought about year
ago when the railroads all stocked up
ahead in anticipation OF the strike, and
soft coal depreciates badly on exposure.
IL is very hard work to get up steam, and
IN addition the use of this poor coal clogs
the nnes so that the engine has to 20 to
the repair shop very soon. A fire broke
out IN the coal sheds at St. Adams and a
large amount OF chemicals were used to
extinguish the fire and these chemicals
also destroy the value OF the coal.

CASE IN COURT MANY YEARS
ROre Than Quarter century Of Litigation
Over Small Farm.
MATTER NOW UP ON ITS MERITS
Deeds TO Eighty Acres Near Scribner
starts Trouble which Keeps
Many Lawyers
Busy.

FREMONT. Neb., March A.-CSpecial)-
The "Schelienberg case" which in some
form OF other has been pending in the
various courts Of this state for twenty
seven years, came on for trial this morn
eng on its merits before Judge Reeder.
The original action was begun by r.
Cehling, guardian OF Katherine Kaulbach,
an incompetent person, to set aside n deed
TO eighty acres Of land near Scribner to
Anna Schellenberg on the ground Of fraud.
Plaintiff had judgment and the supreme
court affirmed the case in 1882. Since then
there have been injunctions, replevin suits
and various other proceedings and over
twenty different attorneys have at times
been employed. The land was not at that
time valuable, and 1t Is claimed the
Shellenbergs got a good share of the crops
and are now claiming by adverse pos
session. The present actions were begun
in 1898 by b. Monich and H. Won Seggren,
who had acquired title from the Kaubach
heirs and they obtained judgment, which
was later reversed Mrs. Schellenberg, who
IS now quite old, is under guardianship.
When the case came up this morning 1t
was found a quantity Of the voluuinous
files In the different cases were missing.
A part of these were afterwards found.
There is a number Of witnesses present,
including two who testified at the trial
In October, 1881
