Judge Mncy handed down his decision
yesterday morning In the district court In
the case of the City of Council Bluffs |
against Mm. M. F. llohrcr on the motion t
of the defendant to dismiss the appeal of
the city from the award of the appraisers.
Ills decision was rm follows :
In consideration of the motion to dismiss !
appeal on the part of the city of Council' '
IJhilts , from tlio award of the sheriff's
jury , and amendment thereto. It is found '
by the court that since such award the j
city has remained In possession of the land
soiiRht to be condemned , made Improve
ments thereon and occupied and used the
same as n part of the public street , and '
it is further found that the city has failed
to deposit With the sheriff the amount ot I
the award of such Jur > , it Is therefore
ordered by the court that said city be
and It Is hereby required within ten days
from this date to pay to the sheriff of thlc
county the until award of { 2,000 , ami In
default of such payment the sheriff of
anld county Is hereby ordered und directed
Immediately thereafter to proceed to dis
possess the said city of the real estate
and deliver the possession thsreof to said
Surah li. It. Uohrer and mnke his return
heretinder to this court , with the costs
mid expenses so Incurred by him. It is
further ordered by the court that the mo
tion to dlsmlsit the appeal of the city from
the said award be and the same Is Hereby
overruled ; and it Is further ordered that
this case be taken out of the assignment
and held for further order and trial on
both appeals. In case said city deposits
said award us hereinbefore ordered , or In
case of a failure so to do , upon the re
turn of the sheriff showing a compliance
herewith on his part , then and In either
of such events , the said appeal shall
stand for trial without further order ex
cept as to assignment.
This practically leaves the case where It
was before , except that Mrs. Rohrer now
has the right , unless the city pay the cash
Into court , to fence off her property , which
for many years has formed a part of Third
street and Sixteenth avenue. The property
In controversy has been used ns a thoroughfare -
faro for many years and It was not until
about four years ago that Mrs. Rohrer de
manded from the city payment for It. On
being refused , she had the street fenced off.
The city took the matter into court and lost ,
It being held that the street at this point ,
when the adjoining property was platted ,
liad never been deeded to the city. The city
appealed and the supreme court ruled In
favor of Mrs. Hohrer. Then the city com
menced condemnation proceedings and the
appraisers fixed the damages at $2,000 for
Mrs. Rohrer and $160 for the Wabash rail
way , which owned a small strip occupied by
Third street. Both the city and Mrs. Rohror
appealed from the award of the appraisers.
At the last meeting of the city council Mrs.
Rohrcr offered to compromise the case and
withdraw her appeal If the city would do
likewise and pay the amount awarded. Tbo
majority of the councllmeo , however , are
of the opinion that the amount awarded by
the appraisers Is about twice too high , and
preferred that the matter should bo settled
by the court. The amount of ground In
volved In the controversy would make about
five or six ordinary lots.
The decision of Judge Macy Is virtually a
victory of the first round for the city , as It
overrules the motion of Mrs. Rohrer to dis
miss the city's appeal. If the court had
sustained the motion the city would then
have been compelled to pay the $2,000.

Verillct for ncf 'inlnnt.
The trial of the Beck damage suit against
the Omaha & St. Louis railway In the federal
court wns brought to a close yesterday morn
ing. Judge Woolson sustained the motion
of the railway company to take It from the
Jury and Instructed a Tcrdlct for the de
fendant. The motion wns based on the
grounds that the evidence showed contribu
tory negligence on the part of Deck. The
suit was for $10,000 damages for the hilling
of Christian H. Beck at Ponoy Creek croisa-
Ing , on the defendant company's line , In
August , 1S98. Fred Beck , administrator of
the dead man's estate , was the plaintiff. The
only witness to the accident outside the
train crew wan n man named Diunltz. one
of Beck'a ' neighbors. Damltz was driving
Immediately behind Beck aud his testimony
showed that when Beck noticed the train
approaching' ho whipped up hla horses and
attempted to cross the tracks ahead of the
train. The engine , however , struck the
wagon , killing him Instantly. An Interest
ing coincidence la that several months after
Beck woe killed , Damltz , while crossing at
the same point WBB struct : toy a train , his
horeca being killed and his wagon smashed
to kindling wood , but he himself escaped
without Injury. The crossing has always
been regarded as a most dangerous one and
has been the ecene ot several accidents.
A motion for a now trial wne filed In the
case of J. A. Flory against Henry & Spence ,
In which a verdict was returned for the plain
tiff n few days ago. Arguments on the
motion will bo heard by Judge Woolson at
Des Molnce after the close of the term
there.
A Jury won Impaneled In the damage suit
of Mattlo J. Clark against A. A. Clark and
a continuance then taken until next Wednes
day morning. In this case Miss Clark asks
for J40.000 damages for an alleged nesault.
The rest of the trial Jurors were dismissed
for the term.
At the afternoon session Judge Woolson
heard arguments In the matter of the Grantz
& Glee bankruptcy case , the question In-
olved being the disposition of the assets of
10 bankrupt firm. Prior to the filing of
10 petition In Involuntary bankruptcy
gainst Grantz & Glee , an Implement firm
f Walnut , by a part of the creditors of the
rm , other creditors , among the number
> eing Deere , Wells & Co. of this city , had
Instituted attachment proceedings and se
cured the appointment of a receiver by the
Istrlct court. In the bankruptcy procced-
ngs W. E. Havenstock of this city was ap
pointed trustee to take charge of the firm's
asBote. Ho found , however , that a portion
f the assets were In the hands of the re-
elvor under the district court and the rc-
nalnder tied up by attachment suits. He
mmedlately petitioned the federal court fern
n order to give him possession of 'these ns-
ets so that ho might dispose of them under
ho provisions of tie federal bankruptcy
aw. The ground upon which this petition
was based is that the federal court has sole
urisdictlon over the assets of these who are
> rought Into the bankruptcy court.
Deere , Wells & Co. and the other creditors
who Instituted attachment proceedings de
nied the right of the federal court to dls-
olve or set aside any proceedings or actions
> etwocn citizens of this state that were al-
eady pending In the district court at the
Imo the bankruptcy suit was Instituted ,
'hey alleged that 'the ' district court had full
urisdictlon of the attachment suit and that
hero Is no authority In the federal court
o eet aside or amend the proceedings.
Judge Woolson took his decision under ad
visement and , after adjourning court until
next Wednesday , left for Chicago last even-
ng , where ho will take In the fall festival.
He was accompanied by Judge Sanborn ol
ho circuit court of appeals.

One of the principal matters to como be
fore the convention will bo a recommenda
tion from the committee on legislation that
the legislature bo asked to amend the gen
eral Improvement ordinance law so as to
conform with the recent decisions of the
United States courts. Another question to
be discussed will bo the taxing of tele

Some of the dead man's former compan-

"I would especially mention the case of
a sufferer from Nervous Indigestion who ,
after visiting most of the noted health re

without material benefit from any , re
ceived decided and permanent benefit
from this Water. "

never failed me ns a powerful nerve tonic when I have prescribed it as such ,
producing a decided calming effect in men and women whose broken-down
nervous system had kept them in perpetual motion , who could not sleep
and who could not rest. I sometimes think it must contain hypophosphites of
lime and soda. It acts as that compound does as a'tonic and alterative. "
