Herman Goldstein of Omaha, whose suit
against former Sheriff Morgan, over tho
Adams shoe slock was decided against
him Wednesday after a trial lasting three
days, was mado defendant yesterday In a
$10,000 damage suit instituted In the dis
trict court by Adamn for alleged false ar
rest and Imprisonment.
13. 13. Adams was formerly In the shoe
business on Broadway and In tho fall of
1898 sold his stock of boots and shoes to
Goldstein. Goldstein claimed that' Adams
represented to him that tho stock waB
freo from all claims and on this under
standing commenced to remove It to Omaha.
Tho stock was loaded Into a big moving
van, but was attached by Sheriff Morgan
at tho east end of the brldgo over tho Mis
souri. Tho attachment was mado to seo
euro a claim, of Lots Jensen for (C00. Gold
stein was compolled to replovln tho goods
and put up a .12,000 delivery bond. It wan
this bond which was Involved In tho suit
which was decided against blm Wednes
day In tho district court.
When Goldstein learned of tho attach
ment of the stock, he filed a complaint In
Omaha ngalnst Adams, charging htm with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
1 Tho police hero received a telephone mos-
sngo from Omaha to nrrest Adams and ho
was taken Into custody, Adams' attorney
succeeded In preventing him being locked
up nnd nn understanding wns reached that
Adams would appear In court In Omaha
the next day. For somo reason or othor
Adams did not cross tho river nnd tho
. police hero woro again notified, to place
him under nrrest. No furthor arrest, how
ever, was made and tho prosecution wns
finally abandoned. When taken Into cus
tody on the llrst message from across the
river, 'Adams was detained nt tho city Jail
for a few hours, but was not placed In a
cell. For this ho now seeks $10,000 of
Goldstein's money. Notlco of tho suit was
served on Goldstein while In this city

That He In Xot Guilty. '
Dame Fortune smiled kindly on William
Sonimcra In" the district court yesterday
nnd despite his willingness to servo twelve
mouths In the county Jnll for attempting
to steal, eight pairs of trousers from the

quitted him of tho charge on which he was
tried and he left tho court room a free
man.
Sommers on January 2 enterpd Marcus'
store, oh Broadway, and while the clerk's
bnck was turned tried to 'get away with
eight pairs of nether garments. A young
bum oi mo pioprietor, however, had been
keeping an eye on the stranger and noticed
him gather up tho clothes and before Som
mers could reach the street had hold him
up at the end of a rovolver. Sommers was
Indicted on a charge of breaking and enter
Ing. After tho Jury was Impaneled yester
day morning Attorney Aylesworth. who had
been assigned by the court to defend Som
mers. proposed to County Attornoy Kill
pack that his client would plead guilty to
larceny fron a building nnd take ono year
in tho county Jail. Tho county attorney
declined to nccept the plea and tho trial
wns proceeded with,
In making his opening address to the
Jury Attorney Aylesworth said that his
client had not committed tho crime of
breaking nnd entering and that nn indict
ment for bucIi an offense should never have
been brought. His client, however, was
willing to enter a plen of guilty It the
county attorney would gunrantco that the
punishment to bo administered to him
would bo tho samo ns If tho Indictment
had been on tho churizo of Inreenv (mm -.
building, namely, not to oxceed ono year
In tho county Jail.
While Sommers mado no denial of his at
tempt to steal the clothing, tho stato was
unablo to show that ho had broken Into the
building, nnd tho Jury, after being out but
n few minutes, returned a verdict of ac
quittal. Dan O'Connell, charged with stealing coal
from Ualph Williams' yards last wlntor,
wus plnccd on trial following tho ncqulttal,

motion of tho county attorney.
Will Bnbblngton, the- youth who was
caught In Smith & Brndloy's store, on
Hroadway, New Years' night, after having
effected an entrance through a skylight,
pleaded guilty. A strong plea for the
court's leniency had boon mado on his be
half by young Babblngton'a friends, and
Judge .Aylesworth, after giving him some
sound advice, let him off with forty days
In tho county Jail.

Zoph Thomas, n farmer of Washington
township, has. a growing family which on
Sunday evenings ho liked to gather around
htm while thoy sang hymns. Realizing
that every well ordered household should
havo an organ In the front parlor, ho made
a bargain with Mr. Bourlclus to trade a
horse for an organ. The deal was consum
mated and tho organ was Installed In the
front parlor nt tho Thomas homo.
Shortly after the' bargain was closed
Bourlclus complained that the horso was
not sound of wind and limb, as Thomas
had represented, Bourlclus took the ani
mal back to Thomas and commenced suit
In tho superior court for tho value of the
organ,
Thomas retaliated by bringing suit In
tho court of Jusllce Davis against Bourl
clus, claiming the latter owed him $24.60
for "keeping, feeding and doctoring" the
horse.
Yesterday Bourlclus went before Judge
Aylesworth of the superior court and,
cured a temporary Injunction, restraining
Thomas and Justice Davis from trying the
suit until the case In tho superior court
had first been determined.

Croas-Coiiiitry Electric Line,
The people of Des Molncs are grently In
terested In the proposed electric car lines
to WIntcrset and Indiannla, both of which
are suggested and promoted by tho owners
of tho .street car lines In Dcs Moines. At
Inninuola tho promoters wero at first
treated coldly, aud tho town council re
fused to consider tho franchise nrono-.
attlon, but later tho sentiment changed and
it has now been arranged that the fran
chise shall bo submitted to the voters for
approval. This lino is to be an extension
or tho line to the now nrmy post site,
which Is four miles from the postoinco.
Work on tho lino to the army post site
will commence as soon ns It Is possible to
work tho ground. Tho WIntcrset line Is
to bo nn extension from Valley Junction
nnd runs through n well settled country
far removed from railroads, whoro tho lino
win do welcomed. At Wlntorsot tho nlnn
Is to connect directly with tho proposed lino
from Creston to WIntcrset by way of
Macksburg, which Is being promoted by
umana capitalists. At WIntcrset and
aincKBDurg this proposal has been well
coived, but at Creston somo opposition Is
encountered, although It has been the Hb
sire of Creston people for many yenrs to
securo a new and direct route to Des
Aioines, which this would offer. A tax Is
to be asked In nld of tho road in Winter
set. Macksburg nnd Creston, and If this Is
dono there Is no doubt the lino will bo
constructed this year. It runs nil tho way
through a good farming country and would
bo used for both freight and passenger
Bvrvicc.

CRESTON. Ia Feb. 21. (Special.)
Messrs. Waterman nnd Crawford, who are
promoting tho electric railway from Cres
ton to WIntcrset, mot with a cold recep
tion last night from Creston's city coun
cil. That body would not vote to submit
tho question of a franchise, to the peoplo,
so the promoters will havo to obtain tho
signatures of twenty-five property owners
from each ward, which will forco tho mayor
to call an election. Waterman and his
colleague returned last night from Wlnter
eot nnd Macksburg, where they met with n
cordial reception nnd the city councils of
both towns ordered a vote on tho franchise.
A 5 per cent tax will probably bo naked
for from WIntcrset to Creston aud a .1
per cent tax In WIntcrset. Just what tho
company will expect from tho city of Cres
ton tho promoters did not say. Thoy did
say that tho Nebraska Traction company
was back of the enterprise nnd had plenty
of money; that It wns a duly Incorporated
company. Mr. Waterman told the council
that to construct and equip the road It
would cost about $350,000,
The building of an electric lino from
Creston to WIntcrset has long been agi
tated In this city and favorably considered
at Wlnterset and Macksburg. It Is believed
that J. S. Polk of Des Moines would build
from the capital city to Wlnterset. Thero
Is also another rumor to the effect that
Mount Ayr will put In nn electric light and
water plant and nu effort will bo mado to
get that rlty to put In n plant Inrge enough
to furnish power to operate nn electric
road from that city to Creston.

HAVANA, Fob. 21. Tho Cuban constitu
tion, first submitted by tho central com
irlttoo to tho convention at tho public scj
Blun of .innuary 21 was slsned today. Ono
j copy wns stmt to Governor General Wood
nnd tho other placed nniong tne records
of tho convention. Tho president nnd vlco
presidents signed llrst and tho delegate,!
followed In tho order of tholr seats on tho
lionr of tho convention, tho two secretaries
signing last.
Honor Cisncros created n sensation by
reluslng to sign. Ho said:
"Cuba Is now Independent and 1 bco no
reason for sending this constitution to the
United States for acceptance. Tho United
States government has no right to pass on
It, for It is n distinctly Cuban document
nnd wnB drawn up by this convention, which
has asRUined tho responsibility of estab
lishing tho ropubllc."
Several delegates crowded around hlni
and endeavored to dlssuado him from his
courso, but ho was Immovable. Tho delo
galeB rotlrod. Senor Tamayo remarked'
"Wo aro nil CubaiiB, senor." Senor CIs
ncros replied: "Yes, when tho tlmo coiiicj
to fight thn AmcrlcaiiB, wo will fight them
togethor."
Subsequently ho said ho would sign tho
copy of tho constitution that had been filed
with tho records of tho convontlon, but
would wait until tho other had boen sent
to Washington In order to avoid any pon
slblllty of his namo being uttnehed to th.it
also.
Senor Capote, president of tho conven
tion, will deliver tho document to General
Wood at tho jialace tomorrow morning.
Gcnernl Wood and his staff will receive
formally tho commission charged with the
duty of presenting tho constitution. The
lnttcr will bo translated and a copy In
Kngllsh will bo sent to Washington with tho
original. Probably tho translation will not
bo ready before Monday.
This afternoon General Wood sent n per
sonal letter to Senor Tamayo, chairman of
tho special committee on rotations, outlin
ing tho suggestions received from Score,
tnry Hoot, but pointing out Hint these woro
only expressions of tho opinion of tho ex
ecutive department as to what tho peoplo
of Cuba should desire to havo established
and agreed upon between the United States
and Cuba, and should not be taken as an
official declaration of tho United States,
