The case of Cooper v.s. Mills county ,
which has been so long in the courts , has
an apparent finish put to it at last. The
case , .is will bo remembered by 111.1113 * , is
one in which damages worosought for in
juries sustained by n defective bridge.
The verdict against the county of $35,000
was recently reduced by th'o supreme
court to $15,000. Hecently Judge Wright ,
together with Watkius & Williams , of
( i leu wood , petitioned for a rehearing of
the ease , which was resisted \ > y the attor
neys for the plttintilV , J. Y. Stone , and
Frank Shinn. The supreme court a low
diiyH ago refused to grant the rehearing ,
ho that the amount is now fixed at f 15,000.
It is understood that Mills county will is
sue bonds , ami pay the judgment without
further litigation.

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 , "

'llio HIcirCHt Auction Vet.
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

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.
