The title of the action Is "Irene llnphcs , vs W. II. S. Hughes and C. ( J. House ! . " The story of the petition is as follows : When William Hughes , now cashier of the Nebraska National -bank , came to Omaha he married a daughter of John A Smiley. Shortly thereafter bo bought sonio properly , Including some farms in Douglas and Dodge eonntle.s , and sonic city lots in Omaha. Thcso ho deeded to his wife. The latter died in testate in 1807 , leaving a daughter , Irene Hughes , who Is now in Salt Lake city , a beautiful and accomplished lady of twen ty years of ago. lly the provisions of law , the property wont to the daughter , as the heiress of the mother. In 18 < 8 Mr. Hnghcs brought suit in the district court ngninii ior daughter'Irone , alleging that ho had miiipht the property aforesaid , and had deedodit to ins wifo. lie nsKod that this transaction ( to nso n legal term ) "ho declared in resulting trust , and that u decree bo made establishing the U list ; " that is to say , that the property bo en tirely turned over to him instead of to ins daughter. ONo answer was made by the dofon lain in this case and Mr. Hughes won itby de fault. A commissioner was appointed by the court. Il ) gave Mr. Huglies posses sion of thu property. Shortly thereafter ho went into bankruptcy , and his property was divided up among his creditors. It now transpires , howovcr , that Irene Hughes , the daughter , who at the time she was sued by her father was only six or seven years of ago , had never been properly notified of the .suit , and for that reason never appeared as defendant. She has therefore commenced proceedings to secure possession of the property , which was divided np among nor father's creditors , nnd Is now worth about $75,000. This first suit Is brought against 0. 0. House ! to recover some property on Howard street , lot three in block 105. Suits will bo instituted against all the other parties holding this property. A n Important KallromlKxtciiHlon- The Union Pacilie has determined to push its branch of the Oregon Short Line into Portland , and will strike directly across the state westward from Its pres ent terminus at Hnntington to the Willamette - lametto valley , thence north to Portland. One does not take in the eflcct of this upon the moment. It means a line of railroad through the mining section of Baker county , through Harnoy valley and the Malheur country , through Crook county and into the upper Willamette valley. The plan includes a southern branch running down into Lake and Klamath counties. It means the open ing of the great interior region of the Etato to settlement and business , the dis covery , in a sense , of a now realm in this Pacitio empire. The jdans of the Union Pacific 'company , while delinite as to the general purpose , are not yet delinito in their details. Three passes in the Cas cade mountains arc in view tne Minto , east of Salem , the San Tiam , southeast of Albany , and the McKenzie , southeast of Eugene. It is likely that the latter will bo chosen , because il allords easier grades than cither of the others. The direct route from the present terminus ( Huntington ) to the Mclvcn/.ic , is through a bettor country than either of the other .routes. . It leads without divergence through the Harney and Malheur region and crosses magnificent bodies of timber near and in the Cascade mountains. It is considered almost certain that Me- Ken/do pass will be chosen , and that the halt in the Willamette valley will bo at or near Eugene City. There are several plans of getting to Portland. Either a line will bo built out-right , or cars will run over the line of the Oregon & Cali fornia or the Oregon railway. A third rail would adopt the last named line for standard gauge ears. It is not behoved that a now line will bo necessary , and connection will bo made over existing roads either by purchase , lease or operat ing contract. The whole of the current year will bo required to survey the routes and locate the road. There will bo no hurried or extravagant construction. Actual work will begin next spring , and It is hoped to have the road in operation within two years of the present time. [ Oregonian. A TRIO oV ACCIDENTS. ESYcstorday the ovnrkmd passenger from the west was delayed at Klkhorn by nn accident to the cligino of a freight train which was coming east. The brakeman - man turned the switch in the wrong di rection and sent the engine plowing through the sleepers. It required forty minutes to get her on the rails again and out of the way of the passenger , which then rolled into Oninlin. Yesterday engine J021 on. the Union Paeillc took a notion to leave the traol < r in the yards at ubouL Twelfth street , and ploughed along through the ground and ties nt such a rate that thu track , for Homo distance , was impassable for a conplo of hours. In the meantime , the enormous business of the yards had to bo done at great inconvenience upon the side tracks. The country between this city and Elkhorn has achieved an unenviable no toriety for wrecks and otl'-track runnings. More seem to occur in that stretch of line than in any other section ten times the length , The Uurlington train from Chicago , vestordau morning hail n curi ous experience.

Police Court , Frank Lang stood up before Judge Slenbcrg yesterday ! to Dplead to n charge of stealing $1 from a street pcdler Wednesday. Ho entered a plea of not guilty , but his case was promptly disposed of by the testimony of three or four witnesses who saw liim take the monoy. Olic of them , n boy of about Lwelvo years of age , burst into tears when lie was asked to tell what ho know about the case. "No one is going to hurt you. " said the judge reassuringly , "go on and tell us what yon know " The Imshtul witness indulged in a few moments more of .sobbing and then going up to the judge's desk , dried his eyes and told what lie knew. Ills testi mony was a "clincher , " and the judge sentenced Lang to thirty days in the county jail , the first ten and the last ten on bread and water. Georgio Marline , the victim of the al leged rape case of about ten days ago , had been arrested for walking the s ! reels late at night. She was released , with in structions" leave town. Frank IVoehcsky , a youthful Italia- mi an , had stolen some fruit from an Ital ian's stand on Thirteenth street. The judge reprimanded him and let him go. Allen Jefferson , a young negro accused of stealing a valuable ring from a follow. Ethiopian denied emphatically that he was guilty. He was taken back to jail to await further ovide.nco. Several cases of drunkenness and va grancy were disposed of with the usual lines and broad and water sentences. Dan Callahan was given thirty days in the county jail , and Mrs. Hill was sen tenced to ten days on bread and water. The Fort Oninlin Grounds. To the Editor of the Bur : In last even ing's issue of the Bui : appears a state ment by "North Omaha" which , aside from being incorrect , conveys the idea that Senator Manderson did not know what ho was about in framing section I of the Fort Omaha bill. "North Omaha" says : "In the Fort Omaha bill the sena tor has built his superstructure on a foundation of sand. " Had North Omaha ' 'taken the trouble to examine the records in the county clerk's oflice , and con vinced himself of the ownership of the land on which Fort Omaha is located , he would not have rushed into print with statements founded on 'wind. ' " Hy act of congress approved March 3 , 187J ; , the consent of the United States was given to the purchase of a certain tract of land at Omaha , Nebraska , for which , under the order of his command ing ofliccr. Major W illiam Meyers paid llw sum of ? 8COJ. , This act of congress refers to the north forty acres ot the Fort Omaha reserva tion on which the brick buildings stand the south and one-half forty-ona - acres were convoyed to the United States in consideration of $1 nnd the writer here of fails to discover the rcvcrsary clause referred to by North Omaha. Part of the deeds convoying the land to the United States were made up in the ollico of Mauderson & Congden , and I believe the senator knows perfectly well what he is doing. Come , neighbor , and brush up on facts before flying off the handle and rushing into print with ru mors you picked up on the street. A NEIQIIIIOK. ThcXcw Choral Society. A very enthusiastic meeting of the pro jectors of the now choral society about twenty-five in number was held Wednes day and all the preliminary arrange ments were perfected for the organi/.a- tinn of a male chorus and an auxiliary chorus of female voices. The male chorus , composed principally of the best material selected from the old Omaha Glee club , will comprise about twenty voices , nnd the auxiliary society of female voices will have an equal number of our choicest and most prominent lady vocalists. The prime movers in this laudable cn- terprLso are gentlemen who have long been known and recognized as leading singers and musicians of this city. The second meeting of this society will beheld held next Thursday evening. This or ganization should not in any way be con founded with the so-calleu Juno Festival chorus. Ho Waited In Vain.

" 1 never think of the Preller-M.axwoll murder case but that 1 recall almost shud- derlngly mi incident in mj ; career , which occurred twenty years ago. " The speaker was nn Omaha physician , and his auditors were a small party of follow "medicine-men. " At tlieirrequest ho continued the recital of his talc. The nflair 1 am aboni to relate happened in the full of 18CO , if I recollect rlchtly. 1 was just out of college nnd had come west to travel partly for my health and partly with the idea ol seeking a location. In October 1 found myself in Colorado en joying a trip through thai inr.gulliccnl newly opened country. I was alone , save for Iho com pany of my horse for railroads were nol as numerous then in the west ns Ihcy nro now. Ono night I found dark ness coming on apace before 1 had gained a place of shelter. 1 knocked at the door of a house near the foot of a largo mountain , resolved to ask lodging for the night. The door of the cottage opened anil I was admitted by a man. llo was evidently a minor , and when I told him what I wanted he greeted mo with rough cordiality , and told me thai 1 was welcome to anything ho hail. 1 noticed that Ids appearance nnd actions were rather peculiar-indced in more than one way suggesting thntho was demented. However when no escorted me to the little garret in the house , or more proper * ly hut , I thanked him and hade him good-night , and laid down with the de termination of having n good night's sl'jcp. "It must have been about ! o'clock the noxl morning that I was awakened out of a hound , daybreak slumber by a tugging at my elbow. 1 awoke and found my strange host at my side. There was a savage glitter in his eye , as ho quietly commanded : 'Dress yourself and como doNvu stairs. ' Not knowing what the matter was , and almost too frightened to think , 1 obeyed instanter. Ho led mo into thu rear one of the Iwo rooms on thu lower lloor. . There , on a rough bed , all covered except the face , lay the dead body of tv woman his wife , llo sur- voved the corpse calmly for a moment , and then turning to me , said : 'This ' is my wifo. She lias been dead for two days. 1 want von to cut her up. You say you area doctor. ' "I stared at him in speechless amaze ment. 'Como,1 he continued , 'don't lose anytime. I mean iusl what 1 say.1 " 'But , ' I gasped , partially recovering " myself , 'what is" the use of culling her up ? ' 'Take this knife and do as 1 toll you , ' saiil the lunatic , for such I had to my own satisfaction determined thai ho was. " 1 hesitated for a moment , but when lie brought the shining barrel of a Colt's re volver within range with my head I hold back no longer. lie brought out two old leather satchels and as L went on with my revolting work , dissecting the body , joint from joint , ho made an explanation. Two years ago ho had come to Colorado with Ids wife to hunt for gold. She had suddcnjy taken ill and died , bul before expiring had made him take u solemn oath that she should be buried beside her parents in a little town in Kew York state. 'I have no money , ' ho concluded , 'but I shall not break my oath. I will carry her body to Now York in these two satchels. All this time ho had Ihe pistol within convenient range of his head , and you may bo sure 1 worked rapidly. In less than an hour my task was finished. By this time il was broad daylight and I started off , bidding my host good morn ing "To * cut my story short , I ( afterwards wrote to Ihe postmaster of the little town of N , in New York state and found that two months after my strange exper ience the miner had appeared Iherc , with his ghastly burden. The remains were given a decent interment , and the husband's oath was fulfilled. A month afterwards he was placed in an insane asylum a raving ! maniac. His "mental collapse hap nndoubtly been caused by the sudden death of his wife."B SWERTMEATS TRAVELING. The Plnttsmoutli Jolly mill Preserv ing Works on the AValJc. Yesterday Frank Carrnth , F. E. White , Fred Harmon and sevcr.al other gentlemen of Plattsmoulh , arrived in town with two ends in view. The lirst of these was to confer with Mr. rioldrcdg o and inform him of the fact that his road will not , by its tariff , enable them , as members of the Plaits- mouth Jolly and Packing company , to longer continue nt that place. They depend upon the cast for their cans , and claim that they can ship the same over the Northwestern road by way of Omaha to Plattsmonth cheaper. y22 cents , than they can by the C. B. iV : Q. direct. They have made up their minds to not stand it , and with a view of saving the freight from Omaha to PlattMiiouth , they arc now looking over the cily for a site upon which to build their works. They have been offered every encourage ment here bv some of our real ostalo men , and it is understood that C. E. Mnyno has placed tit their disposal a tract of land on the Belt lino. The works nro owned by some of the loading citiy.eus of Plaits- mouth , and have more orders from the state than they can fill. Ono Moro Juil o Wanted. To the Editor of the Bin : : A few years ago when Judge Savage resigned the ollico of districl judge of Iho Third Judi cial district the docket of Douglas county had grown so largo thai it was impossible for one judge to hear , and with anv satis faction to himseli , the largo and Increas ing docket. It became an absolute ne cessity thai something should bo done to meet the demands required by the public and litigants to expedite the business of Iho court and to relieve the much over burdened docket. It was thoughl that in the increase to the two judges that the docket would bo cleaned up and all Iho cases at issue would nt the end of the term bo tried and disposed of. But the bar and the citizens who have given it ajiy atten tion at all have been sadly disappointed. There are now over one thousand cases on the docket in Douglas county , of which there is at least half , wild Iho issue made , up and ready for trial , and Uiero are now actually moro cases being dock eted than are disposed of by bolh judges , notwithstanding the court is in session , When a person expects to go into court to collect a debt , however trivial , if the case is appealed to the district court , no trial can possibly be had for at least two years. And if a person commences a suit in the district court , if there is to bo ny introduction of testimony it will not nbo apt lo bo reached in less than two vcnrs from the time of being docketed. Now if the attorney is anxious to have some relief , or have Ids case hurried , lie is reminded by the court thai Ihe cases must como up m their order , The attor ney generally relapses in a scmt- comotoso condition , and his client hi ft swearing condition , But who is to blame. Is it the judges ? No , I think not ; they are doing all they can to re duce the dockol. But the constant in crease in business incident tq the general commercial prosperity is the cause of it , with no prosperity of relief near nt hand. There should bo an additional Judge provided for by law for the tliird judicial district. In view of the foregoing facts there certainly should bo , Is there any rT VTiJBgjia.il i ' v " * * * ' law for providing nn additional judge ? Section llof the constitution provides : The legislature , whenever two-thirds of 'the ' members olcctod to such house shall 'concur ' therein , may , in ornftertho year 'ono thousand eightOinndrt-d and eighty , 'and not oftener Hum once every four 'years , increase the number of judges of 'tho district courts. " The legislature passed an act which was approved Feb ruary 84 , 1883 , increasing the number of judges one more. Now the next legislature could legally add the one more much needed judgo. Of course It might not Ira advisable to change the present territory of the district. Hut 11 Is easv to be seen that the criminal business alone would , in Douglas county , take up thu time of ono judge. Add the business of the three counties of Sarpy , Washington nnd Hurt to his labors and lie would hnvoall that ho could or ought to consistently do. The civil business of Douglas county alone is as much work as two judges can do. The expense of the extra judge would only bo the salary as the other parapher nalia of the court is already provided for , which would be merely nominal to the advantage to be gained. JOHN . W.

DKNVKK JUNCTION , Col. , Juno 03. [ Correspondence ot the Bur ] Undoubted ly the best government lands which can be taken up under the various laws , pro vided for that purpose nro to bo found In eastern Colorado , 1 refer to roliquish- monts. although In this regard as well , it would bo hard to find a better. No part of the west has brighter prospects for rapid , continued and permanent growth than Weld county , Colorado , and hence mi Investment here , while the region is upon the portal of progess , whllo prices are low and chances are many cannot fail to bo beneficial and profitable. Tills portion of the state has been used hi time. < < gone by for cattle ranges by companies owning largo herds and the fertile plains nnd bottoms nto covered with a rich growth of buffalo grass , which is the na tive grass of the region , and which has the peculiarity of maturing ami curing uncul. The steady march of civilization has changed the scene and instead of the wild beast of Hie plains the vast herds of eattlo have taken their place , nnd again the scone has changed and the cattle king has abdicated his throne nnd moved farther westward , whllo the small stock men are occupying the territory. On ward the star of empire toward the Occi dent , and the portion of Colorado al ways considered a desert plain will soon "blossom as the rose. " Already the blue stem is taking the place of the bullnlo grass and It has been amply demonstrated thai alfalfa or chillfan clover , which produces from Ihreo to four tons per acre , ami from which two crops cTm bo cut each season , is a successful product. Every essantial element for profitable stock raising is found here. The south fork of the Platte river passes through this county , and this wllli several tribulanes furnish ample supply of water. The attitude is high ; the elimato perfect and equable , being ti happy medium between the extremes of cold m winter and the heat in summer. It has been the practice hitherto to lei Iho eattlo run at largo and pick a living as best they could during the winter , but it is constantly becoming more apparonl thai close herding and winler leodiiig will bring Ihe stock through in a bolter condition in Iho spring and secure a better improvement and development the following season. The herds along Iho Plallo valley have suf fered less during the past winter than in any other portion of the slock region , and while many thousand of dead eattlo ho upon Hip plains of western Texas , the stock here is in a splendid condition , ns Iho now grass began to appear imniodi- aloly after Iho melting ot the Alarch snows. Weld county is situated south of Cheyenne county , Nebraska , the north cast county in Colorado. 11 is ono of the largest in Iho slate , fully Iwo hundred miles from east to west by ono hundred miles north and south. The county seat isGreeley.is ono hundred and seventy-live miles west of the growing city of Denver , Junction. There is but little doubt in regard to locating the county seal at this place within one year , 'i he enormous sij of Weld county demands a division , and most likely it will be divided into thrco counties. The enterprising settlers of Weld county have built a bridge across the South Platte at this city , affording splendid accommodations for the southern portion of the county , which find it necessary in going to market. The estimated population is 40,000 , while but two years ago there was scarcely 2,000 people residing within its limits. Good government land can now bo ob tained within twelve or eighteen miles of this growing little city , but at the present .rate of entering it will take only a short time to use all the desirable quarter sections now vacant , hence in this case as many others delays are dangerous. The soil is unquestionably rich and fer tile. tile.Tho The fca of drought has been hitherto the restraining influence to setllcmeul. But the ample precipitation and enor mous crops for the past two years , far exceeding the expectations of the settlers have allayed nil anxiety upon this sub ject. Cornpotatoes and wheat have been thoroughly tested and yield excellent returns while vogelables of all kinds are prolific in Ihe extreme. Deeded and con- Iract lands is held near town tit i0 to $10 per acre. Denver Junction , Colorado , a boomin" ; little city , was unknown ono and one half years ago.
