HERWEC GETS HIS VERDICT
Bccurea Damages from His Landlady in a
Suit in the District Court.
NOVEL CASE GOES ALMOST BY DEFAULT
Dofendnnt Ilefa e to Appear and Her
Attarnem Withdraw from the
Cane , AllowliiK the I'lnlntllt
to Prove Up Alone.
In the district court yesterday afternoon
the jury empanelled In the damage suit
of Heman Herweg against Mrs. Amelia
Berney returned a verdict for the plaintiff
In the sum of $3,349.03. Hcrwcg sued for
$10,000. A peculiar and almost exceptional
feature of the trial was that the defend
ant was not present , neither was she rep
resented by counsel , her attorneys with
drawing from the case when It was called
and they learned that she was not In at
tendance. As an answer had been filed ,
judgment could not bo taken by default
and It was necessary for the plaintiff to
prove up his case before the Jury.
Mrs. Dcrncy , who Is n resident of Omaha ,
owns a large tract of farming land In Lewis
township near Manawa , Herwcg being one
of her tenants. He got behind In his rent
and then trouble ensued between him and
Mrs. Berney ; several rounds of which were
fought out In the local justice courts. Each
had the other arrested for assault and bat
tery and the suit tried yesterday was
brought by Hcrwcg after Mrs. Herman had
tried to dispossess htm by force from the
farm.
According to Herweg'u evidence yester
day , when ho got In arrears with his rent ,
Mrs. Derncy seized all his crops and farming
Implements , and threatened to have him
sent to the penitentiary If ho attempted
to regain possession of them. The day fol
lowing the confinement of Mrs. Herwcg ,
Mrs. Berney appeared at the house , broke
down the front door with an axe , and car
ried It off. She took out the heating stove
and all the windows from the house , al
though the weather was bitterly cold at the
time and Mrs. Hcrwcg and her Infant babe
were lying In bed.
Ilerweg brought suit for $10,000 damages ,
alleging malicious trespass , Illegal conver
sion of his property by the defendant to
her own use and false representations by
the defendant as to the quality and nature
of the farm which he had leased from
,
her. Mrs. Berney employed several differ
ent lawyers to look after the case for her ,
but for some reason or other they each lu
turn declined to act. Finally she secured
J the services of Saundera & Stewart of this
city and they notified her that the case
would bo tried this term. Somehow she be
came Impressed with the Idea that the case
'
, had been disposed of and refused to be
lieve even the court's statement that It had
not. When the case was called yesterday
she was not In court and her attorneys de
clined to act further for her.
At the time Mrs. Berney seized Herwcg's
property she took three horses belonging to
Henry Miller that were grazing on , the
farm. She refused to return them and
finally sold them. Miller brought suit and
a judgment yesterday was rendered in' his
favor , for $200 by Judge Smith.

When Edward Bclkuap , who conducts a

Another attempt was made some time dur

son's shoe shop at 913 South Main street ,
but the thieves were evidently frightened
away before they succeeded In securing sn
entrance. The store has been robbed two or
three times within the last few months and
Johnson has taken extra precautions In hav
ing the doors and windows firmly secured.
Falling to force either of the doors or windows
dews , the thieves smashed In the glass of
the front window. The sound of the breakIng -
Ing glass was heard by neighbors and made
so much noise that It probably scared the
thieves themselves.

Ilouiiilary Declxloii.
KEOKUK , la. , May 19. ( Special. ) Judge
Bank has rendered a decision In the dis
trict court In favor of the plaintiff In a
case Involving hundreds of acres of land
along the boundary lines of Missouri and
Iowa. Prior to the year 1870 the Des
Molnes river ran south to Bucna Vista and
then southeast to Alexandria , Mo. , five
miles distant. There was an Island lying
north and east of that town of several
acres of land , known as the Nassau Island.
Between the years 1S70 and 1873 an ice
gorge came and the Des Molnes river cut
through a part of Nassau Island and out
Into the Mississippi river. This changed
the course of the river from southeast to
Alexandria and it cut across Nassau Island
and ran out two miles above Into the Mis
sissippi. So the Des Molnes emptied two
or three miles above where It formerly did.
Another cut came and opened another
mouth , so the DCS Molnes now has three
mouths , one being part of the old Nassau
slough. Kcrr , the plaintiff , contended that
the river , having abandoned Its bed of n
sudden , the old bed of the DCS Molnes river
continued being the dividing line between
the two said tracts of land , and the court
found that , notwithstanding the fact that
this land was on the Missouri side of the
Des Molnes river , by reason of the sudden
change of the stream the old bed and not
the new bed of the channel was the dividing
line between the parties , and found Ken-
to bo entitled to possession of the land.

AMERICA'S TUADB WITH JAPAN.
Qrowlnir More Hnpldty Than that of
Any Other Nation.
WASHINGTON , May 19. The commerce
of' ' the United States with Japan has grown
moro rapidly during the last year than that
of any other nation. The annual returns of
the foreign trade of the empire of Japan ,
just received by the Bureau of Statistics ,
shows that the Imports Into Japan from the
United States Increased from 16,373,419 yen
In 1896 to 27,030C37 yen in 1897 , while Its
exports to the United States Increased from
31,532,341 yen In 1896 to 52,436,404 yen In
1897. Only thrco countries , viz. : Great
Britain , China and British India made as
large sales to Japan as did the United
States In 1S97 , and In no case was the In
crease In Imports as large ns that from the
United States. The gain which the United
States has made over other parts of the
world In supplying Japan with Its Imports
Is shown by the fact that the Imports from
the United States Increased 65 per cent In
1897 over 1896 , while In total Imports from
all parts of the world the Increase of 1897
over 1896 was only 28 per cent. The gain
of Great Britain , our chief competitor , was
only about 10 per cent. The rapid develop
ment of Japan's foreign commerce Is shown
by the fact that Its exports In 1897 Increased
28 per cent.
