" Mr. Cody was feeling _ paiticulnrly happy yesterday , llo had just received a telegram announcing the successful issue of his libel suit against Dr. Carver. It may bo remembered that when Mr. Cody and Dr. Carver were running rival shows the latter undertook to damage "Uull'alo Bill" by making defamatory statements about him. Mr. Cody promptly began a $10,000libel suit against the doctor , in the circuit court of Now Haven , Conn. The case lias since been pending , and as above noted has been terminated in favor of Mr. Cody. A MIHAGUhOUS KSCAI'E. A Swede Driver Ituii Over and Tram- * fc. pled to Jelly. A serious accident happened near Uoyd's packing house yesterday which nearly cost Hcnning Henningson , a Swede driver employed by the packIng - Ing house , his lifo. Hcnningson was driving down ono of the steep lulls which lead to the packing house , at a pretty rapid pace , when sud denly his horses became frightened and broke away from his control. lie did his level best to hold them back , but in vain. They dashed madly down tlio incline , aim the wagon striking a bump , Henningson was thrown out head foremost in front of the team. Ho was trampled on by one of the horses , the wagon passed over his body , and a few moments later ho was picked up a bruised , bleeding mass of flesh , to all ap poaraiiccs dead. It was found , however , that Hie was not extinct , and ho was hastily carried into his house , near the packing house. Drs. Leo and Robert were summoned. It was found that the unfortunate man's skull was severely fractured , that seven or eight ribs had been broken , besides countless bruises being inflicted. At last accounts Hen ningson was still alive , with fair chances of recovery. He is a strong , robust man , about 28 years of age , and tlio doctors think that hu will pull through. HE AVAS IN TlllifsilOW IIUS1NESS. Xho Kxporlonco of Two Hoys Who AVanleil to l > c MltiNtrcI.s. 'Ton never know I was once in the show business , did you ? " asked a well- known man about town the ether day. His auditors shook their head and risked for tlio story , which ho told as fol- "lows : "I ran away from homo when I was 17 years old , together with another boy about the same ago. Wo used to practice - tico singing and clog danelnir , and , if I do say it , wo could do a pretty good turn. Well , wo got stuck on the minstrel biibi- ness , and nothing would do but wo must run away and go into it. Wo save"d up : our money and when wo had enough to buv our suits , started out. Wo had sense onougli to keep away from tlio railroads us wo know our people would bo telegraphing - graphing all over the country for us. Wo started out on foot , and when wo reached a back town about llfty miles from homo , got some bills printed and advertised ourselves to play in a school house. Wo stayed there three nights and our total receipts were $58 ami our expenses com- parativcly nothing. After that we drove around the country * in a buggy and made enough money playing to give us a line layout ot clothes. "Finally wo struck a good sized town where wo wont broke playing bank. Our clothes were in hook nt thn hotel , and wo didn't htivo a cent to our names. 1 went to work in a printing ollico at $ l.r > 0 a week , but Jim , lie was my partner , couldn't get a thing to do. Wo were very solid with tlio clerk at the hotel , though , and when u celebrated female walker , Madam somebody 1 forget her name now came along and wanted to got two young men to walk a twenty-live hour match with her , the clerk hit upon us. us."Noither of ns had scon a walking match in our Mves , but wo didn't ' think of that , because wo had to hnvo the monoy. The madamoagreed to give us half the not receipts. When the 1 time came for tjio match to begin , Jim , who was to go on tlio track lirst. was so nnv'vous hu could hardly stand. 1 took him out and throw a big bowl of whisky into him and that braced him up The atl'air was hold in a big hall , which was There was a brass bandwhich -iilflTyod terribly out ot tune- , that was to furnish the inspiration. When Jim got on the track and started to walk , you ought to have hoard the crowd yell. Ho walked as if ho was sawing wood til the time. After a whio | lie got cooled down nnd in the course , of an hour or so got a little applause. "At the onu of the tenth hour I saw. him i tell iu Jho uiiddlo of tlio track iu a dead faint. I was scared to death nnd sent for all the doctors In town , most of whom , however , were nt the match. They said he'd b nil right in n little while anil 1 got ready to go on thn track myself. I walked out my twelve and one-half hours all right and the people thought it was a good show. They tried to cheat us wlich they divided the money but thcv couldn't do it. We got $90 each as our share and then made up our minds we'll bolter go homo. That was my ex perience with the show business. " HOW SHI ; ; FOUND HER HUSBAND- The Itusc Employed ly Detectives to Aul n Dcscrtctl Wife. An exceedingly pretty woman about BO years old. walked into the onico of the Western Detective ngoncy a few days ago and asked to see the chief. She \vnt neatly dressed nnd altogether prepos sessing In appearance. She was nt lirst reluctant to make known her wants , but at length modestly stated that she was in search of her husband , who had rim away from homo , she thought , with another woman , and had conic to Omaha. Sim gave her name ns Grilllths , nnd said that she lived In Brad ford , PH. , where her .husband was for merly n well-to-do butcher. The case was placed in the hands of John Ding- man , who nt once went to work upon it. It was discovered that Griniths had a friend in Omnlin named Roibcrt , also a butcher. Accord ingly a letter was sent from Fremont to Rolbert , the purport of which was that the winter who signed himself as J. Lndwiek , had mot Hcibert's brother in Iowa ami had become well acquainted with nim. "I want , " continued the writer , "to obtain a nmn nnd wife to take charge of a largo butcher shop , which 1 am going to open in Grand Is land. " Reibert replied that ho know just the kind of people Lmlwick wanted , ns the man had been a butcher In the east. Further correspondence ensued , under cover of the nnmo Lmlwick , who alter nated between Fremont and Grand Is land. Finally the proceedings got to such n point that it was only necessary to have a meeting to perfect the business arrangements supposed to bo contem plated. Thursday evening at 0 o'clock the mooting took place in Hurry Higgius' saloon. On the inside were lloibert , Griffiths , and n young man from the detective agency. Airs. Grilllths , who was present for the purpose of identifying her husband , paced to and fro near the door , while Uingmnn also was in n convenient place. It was not known for certain that Rei- bort's butcher friend was identical with Grilliths , hut this was the supposition upon which the detectives worked. The nion on the inside completed their ar rangements whereby the man and his al leged wife were to go to Grand Island on a salary of ? 50 a month , and started out from the saloon. As thov reached the sidewalk there was u rushing pound , the swirl of a woman's clothes , and Grilliths was confronted by his wife. "Aha"said she in a melodramatic manner , "I've caught you at last. " The truant husband wilted and made no response. The couple then were taken to the detective agency , where a long consultation was held. The wife did not care to cause her husband's arrest , al though ho stated that ho would not live with her again. How the matter was finally settled between the recreant hus band and his wife is not known , but when last seen they were walking down Dodge street nrin-in-arai. THE RIGHTS OF PARTNERS. McCnllacU Holds Tlmt Olio Cannot Sell Without the Other's Consent. In the county court yesterday Judge McCulloch rendered n decision for the defendants in the case of Gibson , Archer & Co. , against Martsen & Russmusson. The facts in the case as brought out by evidence nro as follows : Some time ago the defendants advertised their stock of clothing for sale. The plaintiffs In this suit wont to sco them and made nn agree ment to sell tlio goods at 25 per cent , off the invoice price. Subsequently Gibson , Archer & Co. brought two men from Wymoro to examine the stock. They were nt the store nearly all dny , having most of their conversation with Mr. M.ulson , who at times consulted his partner. Towards evening they made a proposition to Madscn which was sit once accepted. On relating the fact to llnssimissen , however , the latter refused to ncccdo to tlio terms , stating that ho would rather buy out his partner's inter est. A bargain was struck between them by which Kasnuisson became the solo proprietor. This of course broke up the bargain onlerod into by Mudseu and the two men from Wymoro. Gibson , Archer & Co. , however , who brought the prospective customers to the store , claimed tins commission amount ing to § 250. This claim was refiihcd and they instituted proceedings to recover through the courts. The Nebraska laws in regard to commission are somewhat broad , and allow commission men to obtain their percentages , when agreements to sell are entered into , even if no actual sale is mado. Jn this tran saction they claim that the compact was binding , although the assent of ono part ner only was obtained. The court held that in general n part ner has the right to dispose of a business for the purpose of paying the debts of the linn , or in the absence ot the ether part ner. In this case , however , both part ners were prosunt , and the men know that they were dealing with a partner ship concern. It would be an unjust law which permitted ono partner to soil out the entire stock of a linn at whatever price ho chose , regardless of the inter ests of tlm other , llo hcldthat Mudsen had no right to make an rtgrccmont to soil without the consentol Rasinusson , and that therefore thuro was no agree ment which entitled the middlemen to their commission. A PKOtlMAU CASE. A Suit Which Involves the liottoiu of Ciit-OlT linkc , A suit was commenced in the district court yestorduylbylUyron.Rccd against tlio Union I'acillo Railway company to sot usido a deed for right of way made by the pluintiiTto the defendant In 1301.

The road was built ami used for two or three yeura after which the company took up the track , moved away all Its pioperty. and never sineo mudo any usa of its right of way through this particular lot. About that time the river com menced to encroach on the land , and con- tinned until it washed awny and com pletely demolished over forty' acres of it , including all , or nearly nil , of that over which the right of way had been granted , Then the rjver cut n-now channel below , and left the land , which is the result of this suit , at the bottom of Cut Off lake.

A Slight Misumlorstainliiitj. John Buckley nntl J. W. Jones were brought into pohco court yesterday to Biiswor to a charge of being suspi cious characters. They had b * > ou found at night in another man's house. Both succeeded in explaining the circumstance saljsfaotory and they were discharged. It seems that Buckloy. had engaged rooms iu a boarding .house , unbe- knowncst to the proprietress , whoso hus band made the bargain. Buckley failed to put in an appearance the next day , and not till early Thursday did ho go around to the new lodging place , lie took with him his friend. J. W.

She called the police and both Buckley and Jones were arrested. The matter being cleared up yesterday as before men tioned , both men were released. The National Fnik. Lieut. Dan Kingman , of the engineer ing corps of the department of the Platte , will leave in a few weeks for the Yellowstone park. Ho says that there still remains about $0,000 , from the ap propriation of last year to expand upon the park , in the way of improving roads , etc. , and a liberal appropriation of about $70,000 is expected for the fiscal year , be ginning July 1st. The park already has a largo numibor of finely opened roads , and with this additional sum Lieut. King- man says that a vast deal more can bo accomplished in the way oft constructing roads to the different places of interest notably Yellowstone parkmnd Yellow stone lake \yhich are not now easily ac cessible. Fine hotels arc being erected at different points throughout tno park , and in that direction the accommoda tions the coming season will bo better than over before. He Pulled n Gun. William g Ilcnnesoy "was jailed yesterday on a charge "iof carrying concealed weapons , llo ligurcd in n little episode mcar the cornerof Fourteenth and Douglas streets , which created quito a sensation. It seems that ho had been drinking during the morning. About half past 10 ho became involved in a dispute with an express man known as "Dutch Jake. " The lat ter ordered him to.go aw.iy. Instead of complying , Hennsov drew a ivolver cocked it , uul dropped it under the Teu ton's noso. Jake gave one wild ! shriek and bounded away. Henncsy turned in the other direction and ran like a grey hound. The police wore too quicK for him , however , and ho was captured in a room above a Douglas fetreot saloon. The circumstance created quite a commotion and a largo crowd gathered on the scene of the al- most-tragedy. Rail Notes. Hon. B. H. Barrows , who left seine days ago for Salt Lake City , has returned and will remain In Omaha. Ho says that his failuo to stop in the Mormon capital was duo to tbo fact that the two roads the Union Pacific and Denver & Rio Grande- determined not to appoint a joint agent. Instead , two old employes , ono Irom each road , were selected to fill the positions of local agent for their spcctwc companies. Mr. Barrows has naught but kindly words for Salt Lake City , and thinks that it is bound to be come a great center of trade. The Union Pacific and B. & M. failed to-day to make the expected raise in Paoiho coast rates.
