LOUCEES WIN SUIT AGAIN
Iowa Superior Court Rules in Their
Favor Once More.
RELIC OF OLD LAND DEAL
Carlson Finally Cleared of
Charge for which He Served Part
of Sentence Mt Fort Madi-
son Prison.

The decision Of Judge Wheeler OF the
district court in the suit of Benjamin Doug
lass, tr., against F. c.. and e.. II. Lougee
Of this city has been affirmed by the Iowa
supreme court. In this suit Douglass as
one OF the heirs Of N. Benjamin Douglass,
sr.. founder Of the r. q. Dunn & Co, mer-
camille agency, sought TO recover from the
firm of F.. c. and e. II. Lougee, real estate
dealers, the sum Of S35, 900, alleging that
the defendants had falsely represented
the value Of the lands in western
Iowa belonging to the estate of his father,
while acting as agents for the heirs, and
had purchased such lands and cleared on
them a profit Of $4,000. The case was
tried before Judge Wheeler, who found for
the Lougees in July, 1908.
August Carlson Cleared.
After serving sixteen months Of an In
Discriminate sentence not to exceed fifteen
years in the state p~enitentiary at Fort
Madison from which he was paroled last
July, August Carlson Of this city now has
the satisfaction of learning that the Iowa
supreme court has reversed the finding OF
the district court. Carlson was arrested
January 20. 1905, on the charge of passing
a forged check on George L. Smith, saloon
keeper, ana a rev udyS ldltI NhC u dhN
Jury returned an Indictment against him.
At the first trial the jury failed to agree
and at the second trial held before Judge
Macy the jury brought in a verdict OF
! guilty. A motion for a new trial was over
ruled and Carlson was sentenced to an In
determinate term not exceeding fifteen
years. Being unable to furnish an appeal
pond Carlson was taken to Fort Madison
where he remained until July 30 of this
year, when he was paroled and discharged
In the appeal several claims of error were
made, but upon which the reversal by the
supreme court was based will not be as.
certained until the opinion Of the supreme
court is received here by Fremont Benja'
min, Carlson's attorney. Carlson Is a car
penter and since his parole was reunited
to his wife and family, from whom he hat
been estranged for some time prior to hi
arrest.
The supreme court in deciding the Carl
son case ruled upon technicalities, among
others that there was a discrepancy of
cents between the amount Of a certain
forged check as shown in court and the
amount stated in the indictment Of Carl
son. But the court holds that the identity
Of the check is in doubt.

BRINGING BACK SALESMAN

Man Who Sold Them.

Nicola Citizens Seek Interview with
Man Who sold Them.
Deputy Sheriff Waddington, according to
a telegram received yesterday by Sheriff
McCaffery, is on his way back from Sacra-
mento, Cal, having in custody a man
named Mcintyre, who is wanted here on
a charge Of cheating by false pretenSes,
Mcintyre, it is alleged, sold a quantity of
mining stock to certain persons in Nicola
Ia, for so cents on the dollar, on the repre-
sentation, it is said, that great deal Of
work had been done on the property Now
it is said that Mcintyre had authority only
to sell the stock at 10 cents on the dollar
and that he cleaned up about S,6OO by
overcharging the Nicola people. An infor-
nation was filed before Justice Cooper by
Assistant County Attorney Ross against
Mcintyre about two weeks ago. but IN
come manner the pape has become mis-
laid and none of the officers remember the
mans Christian name. 1t is said that Nc
Intyre was arrested in Chicago on a some
what similar charge and taken to Sacra-
mento, where he was tried and acquitted,
only to fall into the hands Of Deputy
Sheriff Waddinston, who was provided
with extradition papers.

JuvenIIc Conrt CnntroI

OMAHA, Dec. 20.-To the Editor OF The
Bee: Taking notice Of the article on THE
Laws Delay In a recent issue, criticizing
the district judges for taking up too much
valuable time in trying trivial cases. etc.
l wish to say that In my opinion the judges
probably know what they are about In ar
ranging their dockets, and do not need the
advice of any young STRIPPING Of a lawyer.
But in the mention OF the Juvenile court
as a mere fad 1 must also disagree.
The juvenile court is not a fad or SEN
timent, IL is in reality a grand
work, II properly carried out. The
fact that a number OF "old maids and
preachers" as the writer says, take an
interest in the work, is no argument
against 1t, in fact is a good recommended
ton, but cuts very little figure. The
trouble does not lie here. The true reason
that public sentiment in our city is against
keeping up the juvenile court is the way
1t is managed. Put a large-minded Chris
tan man in charge Of this most important
work, a person, either man or woman,
above the greed of gain and notoriety, in
terested only in the real welfare Of the
children, and I believe this strong prejudice
would soon be removed, and the hearty
cooperation OF both parents and teachers
would De the result. An OlIlceF, nONeNei,
skillful in running down bad boys and
girls, in publishing such exploits, or in
filling his Golfers with gold by various
means, is not the one to handle those deli
cate matters pertaining to our homes and
hearts. our children
II a Juvenile court must exist why not
an open minded Christian man or woman
there are many such in our county, to
deal with the faults of the young?
Being a lifelong republican. and holding
In the greatest esteem our Judges and
county officials, 1 am not criticizlng, only
to call their attention to the true cause of
there being such a mistaken opinion Of the
Juvenile work.
Give us a corps of noble, generous work
ers, filled with love for humanity, and a
right spirit of justice tempered with love
for the young, and a vast amount Of good
may be accomplished through the medium
OF the juvenile court.
We would like the opinion of other voters
on this topic which should be of vital in
terest to every good citizen of Douglas
county. VOTER.
