The suit brought by Ous E. Plumer
against the Wabash railroad to recover
. for the lulling of two cows, which had
been specially assigned for trial In the dis
trict court Monday, was settled yesterday
by tha railroad confessing judgment In the
sum of 890 and costs.
The two cows for which the Wabash hae
to pay their owner $b0 cost the railroad
thousands ot dollars. Both oows strayed
on tha track owing, it was alleged, to ths
imperfect condition of the company's
lences, and both were the main cause vf
tw6 bad wrecks.
The first cow was struck by a construc
tion train and ths result was that part of
the train was ditched, the caboose derailed
and one man killed.. This happened about
a year ago. The second cow was respon
sible for one of the worst wrecks the Wa
bash ever experienced. It happened August
1 last, when a heavy cattle train, was
thrown Into the ditch near Pony Creek
i rousing just southeast of the city. The
vow derailed the train and In the wreck
four men were killed and hundreds ofbogs

Eighteen thousand dollars is a big price
to pay ft"" In" which have no ex
istence except on paper, being at the bot
tom of the Missouri river, but this ap
pears to be what B. F. Morris of Knlghts
town, Ind., paid for half a. doseiv lots In
"Lafayette Park" sddltlon to Council
Bluffs, ss evidenced by a, deed sent by him
for record here.
The deed Is signed by Thomas M. Bell,
a "widower" of Tork, Xeb., as . grantor,
and conveys title -to six lots for a total
consideration of 818,000 or 83,060 a lot. . B.
F. Morris, tha grantee, is described as
residing in Laclede, Mo. The deed Is dated
May 10, 1908, and In his letter to the county
recorder Morris states that he was to get
an abstract showing tha title pt the prop
erty from 1890.
Morris Is but one of many who have
been made victims of the Lafayette ad
dition swindle. Lafayette addition was laid
out on paper about fifteen years ago. It Is
said, by an Omaha real estate dealer,
who purchased for a nominal sum forty
acres of land lying south of Omaha. At
that time a goodly portion of the land was
in the river and tor several years past
all of It has been. The addition was duly
platted and recorded In TT.e office of tha
county recorder. Regularly ever sines
purchasers of lots In this addition have
been turning up only to discover that their
holdings were absolutely valueless.
A well-known real estate man of this
city recently received a letter from a rel
ative in Indiana making inquiries about
Lafayette addition to Council Bluffs. It
was represented In Indiana,, so the writer
said, that the property was conveniently
located and that each lot was Improved
with a house renting for 81160 a month.
Caatedy sf Child la Caart.
Thomas Owens applied for a writ of
habeas corpus last evening In the superior
court to regain possession of his little
granddaughter, Jessie Owens, who was
taken by her mother, Mrs. Rose Ellsworth,
after an exciting scene on Broadway.
Mrs. Owens, with the child, was driving
along Broadway when they were stopped
by Mrs. Ellsworth and the letter's mother,
Mrs. Nettie Bracken. Mrs. . Ellsworth
asked to be allowed to kiss the child and
the grandmother consented. Seising the
child, Mrs. Ellsworth handed It to her
mother, Mrs. Bracken, and the two mads
a run for the police station, followed by
Mrs. Owens In the buggy...
At tha police station the women all talked
at ones and tha officers for a time were
unable to make head or tall of the trouble.
When they learned tha nature of the dispute
they declined to Interfere, feeling that the
mother had a right to her own child.
Thomas Owens, the grandfather, however.
hastened to the residence of Judge Scott
and besaa habeas corpus proceedings, si
leglng that Mrs. Ellsworth wss not a
proper person to have charge of ,the child.
The court set next Wednesday for hearing
the case.
Mrs. Ellsworth wss formerly married to
a son of Thomas Owens and since the mar
rlsge to Ellsworth there has been trouble
between her end the Owens family over
the custody of the child. Recently Mrs.
Ellsworth was arrested, charged with
knocking Mr. Owens down with a pair of
brass knuckles.
