A farmer named L.;an had pieced on a post near his barn a mall bo, In which the star route carrier pawing his place put what mall there mlaht he fop "him for accommodation. The place was n.t on a rural route. The ac cused, Matthews and Nelson, one or both of whom had at one time worked for Dean, had some misunderstanding with him, and It was held that there was some ugly feel ing prevailing between the parties. Mat thews and Nelson had occasion to pass Dean's place, and Dean alleges that they maliciously knocked the mall box down and otherwise desecrated It. The case was called to the attention of the pnstofflce In spectors of this district, and A. O.

The defenia holds that the box In ques tion was not a legitimate mall box, nor was It authorised by the postofflce authorities.

It ti further denied that the accused either knocked the box down, mutilated or desecrated It. The case wns given to the Jury at 4 o'clock Tuesday evening and after being out an hour a verdict of not guilty was returned. The trial of a caae for personal damages In the matter of E. P.

(iarrity at 123 North Tenth street last evening and drawing a large clanp knife from his pocket announced that he was going to clean out the pluce. He made for the nearest man, who happened to be the bartender, but failed to get him, us the barkeeper ducked down back of the bar and seized a bottle of seltzer. When Smith's head nhowed over the top of the bar it was promptly greeted with a shower of effervescing seltier water. Somo of the lively stuff got In Smith's eyes, nearly blinding him, and then other parties in the u:Uoon plucked up courage to seize Robert and put him out of the saloon. He .hen continued hix wild flight up Tenth flreet, wiiere he soon encountered two de tectives, Ferris and Uunn. These two de cided that Smith hud had quite enough excitement for one evening and took him to the police station, where he Is charged with disturbing the peace and threatening to cut. At the station It was discovered that Smith Is a cocaine fiend and had taken a little too much of the stuff. Ready to Erect Monument. At a meeting of the Veterans' Monument association last evening the treasurer, Mrs. Hull, reported that there was S1.3O0 in the treasury and an this was deemed to be enough to warrant the unking of specifications and prices on a monument to be erected to the veterans cf the civil war, it was decided to have Mr. Feenan, a monument dealer of Omaha, send out to the different wholebale marhlu and granite firms and obtain estimates as to the cost of a soldiers' monument. The monument decided upon consists of two pieces, the bottom piece being a granite boulder weighing thirteen tons, and the upper piece to be a bronze statue about eight feet In height. The statue Is to be the figure of a young volunteer of 1MU In full uniform, with his trousers tucked In his legglns and marching ready and alert to buttle. The association has been work ing for tlie last eight years, trying to secure funds to erect this monument.
