Crumbs Krnut Court , The jury in the ease of William Emerson - son .yesterday morning returned n vcr- dict'fimling him guilty of burglary. Ho 5s tlin colored man who last July entered the K. C. bouse and was found in the kitchen by young Gibson , son of llio pro prietor of the place. The two had a struggle ifiid the darkey managed to get away. Afterwards Olliccr O'Urien came across him and another colored man walking along the railway track about ten miles out of the city. The officer sir- re ted them , and was about to put Iho handcuffs on Emerson , when the other pulled n revolver and commenced shoot ing. Tlio ollieer backed off , drew his gun and lired , and for a few minutes there was a lively fnsiladc. The two colored men rnnvnml were soon lost sight of in Iho thick brush , but Emerson was afterward captured. HIM only de fense to the charge of burglary was that of mistaken identity , llo insisted that it miM have been some other colored man who was in tlio hotel at that time , but the jury thought differently , and he will now 'go across tlio state. , Yesterday the time WPS I aken in Iho trial of a young man named Webster , for forg ing I'l. A. ferry's name loa cheek for W and trying to pass the same. It appeared that Webster was a bungler at the busi ness , llo wa neniiainteil with a young man named Hatcher , who worked for Air. Terry , who is a farmer near Cros- cent. Hatcher quit work for Terry in November and went with AVebstcr to Missouri Vr.lloy , whore lw furnished Webster money to start a barber shop. The shop was not a great success , and the enterprise came to a .sudden end. \Veb.iter is Mild to have written a letter to Mr. Terry , signing Hatcher's name to it , and asking for re-employment. To this letter Mr. Terry replied , and Webster got this , instead of Hatcher , so that he thus secured Mr. 'ferry's signature. He seems then to have settled down to prac ticing on the signature , and several of his attempted imitations were pro duced in court. Soon after he went to Mr. Terry's home , and pre tended to bo imiuiriug in behalf of Hatcher about the latter being employed by Mr. Terry through the winter. Mr. Terry in drawing cheeks and doing other business used a peculiar green ink , ami Webster's evident intention in visiting the lioiise was to procure some of the ink. Ho asked permission to write a letter , and while thus given the use of the secretary helped himself to a little bottle of ink. In doing so lie clumsily spilled some of it , by which Mr. Terry's attention was afterwards called lo the fact. He then borrowed some checks of Mr. Hough at Crescent , and proceeded to till one of them out , using the green ink. lleoll'cred the check to dillerenl persons , but did not get it cashed , and that night he was arrested. The various papers were found upon him. including a forged order and a. forged note. The brilliant constable found the bottle of ink on his person , but thinking it was of no account , gave it back lo the prisoner , who threw it away. It , was afterwards found and produced in court. The for gery was a bungling one , and the fellow wasstfll more stupid in keeping about him the evidences of his aet. "Why is it , " asked a veteran handler of crooks , in conversation about the forgery case , "why is it that the fellows who are arrested lor forgery arc almost always fellows who can hardly write their own name. It is queer. I've seen lots of them and I never saw an expert penman among the whole of them , and most of them are poor penmen. It is strange , 1 don't know whether it is be cause a good penman rccogniy.es the diflieulty of successfully forging another man's name , or not , but perhaps Ih at is it. A fellow who can hardly write can not conceive how easy it Is to detect a forgery , but he fancies any sort of writing will do. Ono thing L do know , the most of them are mere bunglers.1 "Another feature about forgeries , " re marked a criminal lawyer , "is that a fellow who can imitate another man's signature to protection , when writing it for practice , or for fun. cannot do so when really forging it. Tlie leoling that he is actually committing a crime some way makes his nerves a little unsteady. Yo'u can almost always detect a torgery by the tremor shown somewhere in the sfgnature , " We have a line large line of Christmas novelties that we are selling cheaper than over was known , also imilllers , silk liandKorchieis , ladies' and gents' gloves , clothing , tine scalsklncaps , etc. JOHN Uixo : < t Co.

At exactly noon yesterday there was the greatest auction sale over known in this city. In less than live minutes property amounting to $1-100,000 , was sold under the hammer. This wonderful Halo was the ono so long advertised , involy- the possession of what is known as the Council Bluffs & St. Louis railway , a part of the Wabnsh system , Judge H H. Trimble , the special master appointed by the United States court , was the auction * eer. After reading tlio notice , ho asked of the few by-standers , "How much am I offered ? " A stranger Mopped forward and replied , " $1,100,000. " There being no other bids , the sale was closed and a certified cheek for $70,000 placed in Judge Trimblu's hands , The road thus sold extends from this city to Elm Hats in Missouri , a distance ot 14:3 : miles. The revisionary rights of the road were then offered , ami bought for f 100,000 , on which $5,000 was paid in cash , The purchaser of Ilia road was K. W. Sheldon , of New York , who acted on behalf of Iho bondholders , Ho was accompanied by his brother , Theodore Sheldon , counsel for the complainant. The sale was made under the foroeloMiru decree made some ti'iio aco. The sale of the Clarlnda & SI Louis branches has been put off until March 29. 1887. The road is now in the hands ot Colonel McKUsock as receiver , anil there will belittle little change made in the active manage ment of affairs , at least at present. It will be necessary lirit to have the sale approved by the court , which will proba bly bo done early in January. Five hundred overcoats for boys and children , from f 1.50 up. up.MKTOAI.J' BKOS.

Yeshrduy afternoon the funeral ot : Mrs. Anton Rink was hold from the Catholic church , a large number of friends gathering first at the homo , so suddenly saddened , and from there pro ceeding to the church with the form ot her who but a few days before seemed asfiurcd of many 3 oars of joyful life. The occasion was a peculiarly sail one , and the lendcrc. t .sympathy was manifest for tie ) .stricken husband , and for the babe. in giving life to which Iho mother yielded \ip her own. The floral tributes wore many and beautiful as arranged by the skillful linger. ' of L. A. Caspar. They consisted of faith , hone and charity , heart design , on stand from John Mcr- gen and wife ; a lyre on rest from Mr. and Mrs , Jacob Nowmajvn1 ; a pillow , from Mr. and Mrs. Bock ; wreath , from Mr. and Mrs. Schocntgcn ; cross , from Mr. and Mrs. Max Mohiij anchor , from Alderman and Mrs. Stnuib , The church was tilled with fho fricnd , and many followed the casket to the cemetery. I'ctiiircl for Uslnj ; n Pen. The jury in the case ot Webster , charged with forcing Mr. Terry's name to n cheek for $33 , last night returned a verdict of guilty. This was as expected , for the only defence claimed was that the forgery was so poor that no one could hardly recogiii/e It as being Terry's name at all. Had the jury acquitted by any such mysterious complication as .set Major Williams free , the government was ready to pounce upon the young nlan lor a violation of the postr.l laws , ho having addressed to another parly , and having used the mall for the purpose of crooked woik.
