JUDGE ovERRULES SELF.
Sustains Motion for a New Trial
Setz- Pollard Damage Case.

Avoca, April 27.-Judge Thornell has
sustained the motion for new trial in
the damage case Of Setz against Har-
ris, ct al.
This somewhat sensational case
lasted five days during the Novem-
Der term of district court here. The
case was one wherein Felix Sctz de-
manded damages in the sum of $4,000
of j. D. Harris, Frank Pollard and j.
VI. Pullen, alleging that he had been
s!anaered By the publication of let
ter
In ruling on the motion for new
trial Judge Thornell says: THE court
erred in stating to the jury that if the
writing in question related to the board
OF supervisors Of Pottawattamie coun-
~, it would be sufficient to make out
that 1t had reference to Felix Setz, for
the reason that the writing on its face
shows that it relates to an official act
Of the board Of supervisors, that could
be done by a majority Of said board
said board being composed Of five
members. and 1t should have been left
for the jury to say whether said writ
ing was published Of and concerning
the said Felix Setz or not"
In the trial of the case the jury
awarded the plaintiff s1.O5O damages
The motion for u new trial was argued
in this city Dec. 10.

bers In western classification territory
are unanimously afraid of the adoption
OF the rule. The railroads, in their ef-
for. to secure uniformity, propose to
change the rule In ono or tho other
places. Western jobbers do not want
any mixed carloads Of stun and fear
1t would be very harmful to them. The
rule In the east has been Tor many
years that q shipper may load car
with various kinds Of goods. taking diff
ferent rates. and ship the whole at car
load rates, taking the rate Of the most
expensive material in the car. This ID
one Of the things the commission has
yet to find out what to do with.
1t was shown at the hearing in
Washington that sometimes some ar
ticles that appear to be Of small Inn
,portance pay heavy freight. For in
stance one manufacturer showed that
the change OF rate on rat traps would
cost him 81 900 year.
1t was found that on $50 different
articles that are handled over the roads
the advance made by western classic
cation No. 81 amounts to so per cent
or over.
The interstate commerce. commission
went into the matter very fully at
Washington and arrangements were
made for further investigation into the
whole matter at later hearings. Mr..
Thorne will have additional facts
brought out at Kansas City, st. Paul
ami Chicago bearing on the increase
of rates. The case is regarded as Of
such great Importance that abundant
time will be given to present it fully
The railroads had a committee at work
three years preparing the new classih
cation and the representatives Of the
shippers now believe that delay Of
year is not unreasonable in order to
investigate.

body when they arrived
A number Of electric pianos. owned
by Nose Levich. were stored In the
room and Watt had charge OF them. 1t
is believed that he went there to get
music roll for a piano which was being
rented to some cafe or pool hall.
The property loss Will amount to
$4,000. and is believed to be partly
covered by insurance.
Fire Chief Burnett found no trace
Of gas when he arrived on the scene, as
no gas was used in the building. He
said he did not know how 1t filled the
room, as it must have, to produce such
an explosion. The gas company was
unable to say whether the gas con-
nections for the building were turned
off in the building or in the street. 1t
is said, however, that an investigation
is being made. The most plausible
explanation of the explosion seems to
be that the building contained several
cans of carbide and that they had be-
come wet in some manner and formed
the gas which caused the explosion.
Watt was member of the Des
Moines detective department under the
Hartcnbower administration. Later he
was In charge of the bath house.

Folsom, April 21!-The BURLINGTON
railroad and its small army of men
which have been battling for week
against the encroachment OF the Mis-
souri, river, lost the fight yesterday,
as early in the morning section Of the
track 100 rods in length was swallowed
up by the river The switches and the
depot grounds and buildings are now
in danger.
; A work train which was standing on
a siding, was almost engulfed by the
greedy waves Of the Missouri, and one
car sank into the water. Four other
cars were saved. A long line Of loaded
cars had been placed on the siding in
hopes of holding it, but will probably
avail nothing.
The river has now eaten it's way into
the Iowa side for a distance OF several
hundred feet for long distance and
in one place much more land has been
taken by the rapacious and erratic
stream. The new water course de-
scribes an elbow and the force ex-
pended by the swollen waters seems
irresistible.
Surveyors are now at work running
levels for an entirely new line. which
will have to run over the top OF a
rocky ledge. the only apparent sure
footing at this point. 1t is believed
that this ledge extends to bed rock and
that it will be the only barrier that Will
resist the encroachment of the river
The stream will then extend from
bluff to bluff, unless 1t makes an en-
tirely new channel, which is not at all
unlikely to happen Since the box cars
filled with stone appeared to have nc
effect whatever in staying the onward
march of the river, several cars loaded
with steel rails were shunted into the
river and they went the way OF the
others out of sight in forty feet OF
water and sand.
A mile east Of Folsom there is an
old creek bed that is now quite large
sized stream 1t empties into the Mis-
souri, nearly opposite the south line OF
Cass county, Nebraska. Between where
the cutting is now going on and this
creek the land is level and low. Fears
are expressed that IL the river cuts
thru into the creek the channel OF the
river viii fGtf0w :ac35c;;t and the main
current will move everfrom two to five
miles east. leaving Portsmouth, Ne
braska City and several other towns in
land. In this event 1t would leave the
Burlington's bridge high and dry over
a sand bar with the river running eight
to ten miles east of Pacific Junction.
