The CofTinnn Cnsc.
The trial of A. W. ColTman for the
killing of J. K. Mnln , got ftiirly under
way yesterday. Much of the evidence
will bo the same In substance as on the
preceding trial , nncl the case will not
probably bo long before the court.
'Die first witness yesterday was .Too
Blake , of Avoca. IIo did not see the be
ginning of the trouble between Main
.and ColTmnn , in Tyron's restaurant , but
when ho first Haw them Main was at
tacking Coffmnn. Ho did not sec Coft-
man draw the revolver , but saw it in his
hands anrinstant nftor the shooting. It
was still smoking.
Dr. McConnuughoy was next put upon
the stand to testify in regard to the
post mortem hold. There were no
marks upon Main except the bullet
wound in the side of the face , the ball
going backwards and lodging near the
base of tlio brain.
The next witness was B. more sensa
tional one. Ho was the new witness ,
who has boon expected , but who has not
testified in the preceding hearings.
Ho gave his name us .Tiihnur Solsby , and
his present homo in Shelby county , near
Portsmouth. IIo was a farm hand , nnd
was working hero and there as best ho
could. Ho helped stacking in ColTman 's
Hold on the day of the homicide. Ho
was in the Hold in the afternoon when
the trouble arose between Coffmnn and
Main. It was a hot day , and ColTman ,
coming to the Hold , found Main rbsting
in the shade of the Black. ColTman did
not like this , and got on to the stack
and worked a little while himself. Ho
told Main that ho did not want anybody
to hteal his money , which beoined
to bo another way of denouncing
what ho doomed Main's loafing.
CotTinan and Main had bomo words and
ColTman told him ho would pay him olT
that evening and ho could go. He also
told Main that ho would give him a
.hreshing. In the evening , at the res-
aurant , ColTman and Main mot , and
ftcr ColTman had paid him , Main said
10 was ready for that threshing. Coff-
[ ian called him a dirty epithet , and soon
ollovvcd it up by blows. Tncn Coffmnn
topped backwards a few feet and struck
.is . heel against a. keg or box and sort of
alf stumbled over , but immediately
itraightoiicd himself and Main said that
, hcrc was no us'e of having any further
rouble about the matter. Just then the
vitness "heard a shot , and saw
, ho revolver in ColTman's hands
.ml Main lying upon the lloor.
The oross examination was very try-
tig on the witness. Ho admitted that
10 was from 160 to 200 yards from the
stack all of the time Main and CptTman
, voro having the conversation in the
Hold. Ho was busy , too , loading grain
jnto a wagon. As to the shooting scene ,
ho said ho was not in the room , but
wiib standing on the stop outside looking
up and down the street , and that at the
limo the shot was Hred ho had his back
toward both men , nnd could not toll in
ivhat position they stood. Ho was also
examined as to his history , and the fact
brought out that ho was working wher
ever ho chanced to got a job , and that
a part of the time ho slept in sheds or
out of doors.
The cross-examination was not com
pleted at time of adjournment , nnd will
bo continued this morning.

MIsH Frecmaii'H Appreciation.
Some time ago a service was hold in
the Congregational church of this city
n the interests of the sulTorors by the
Nebraska blizzard , and on this , occasion
the pastor , Rov. G. W. Crofts , paid n
merited tribute to Mies Frcoman , a full
report of which was given in the Buu.
A hymn was also sung , written by him
for the occasion , and another poetical
tribute was penned by him , and np-
pcarod in the Intor-Ocenn. Miss Free
man has written to him , expressing her
appreciation of the words spoken nnd
sung , nnd extracts are given from this ,
as they prove interesting as indicating
somewhat the character of the heroine
of the storm :
"I thank you from my heart for so
magnificent a tribute as you have given
mo. I am sure I only tried to do right.
It was my plain path of duty in which I
was led. I am thankful to know it hns
nil ended so well. . My sympathies go
out to those who suffered so. So. mnny
messages of love , hnvo come to mo from
hearts I'm sure nro true there's a
pleasure in that. But the notoriety has
brought some unpleasantness , though in
nil my life it is as it always wr.s enough
to bo plain Minnie Freeman with the
love of my friends. I nm sure it is not
because t do not appreciate the honor
given mo. No ; but to try nnd honor the
trust given mo. 1 wonder if I can toll
-ou how much good your words have
done me ? Perhaps not. I nm only a

THE TRIALS OF INVENTORS.
Dlfllcultlcs the GcnltiH Meet * * In Secur
ing Appreciation of Ills Efforts.
The Washington Correspondent of
the St. Louis Glebe Democrat writes :
It is the little thing that brings the
inventor money , " says a veteran ofllcial
of the patent olllco. The man who pat
ented the idea of the return ball
nothing but n sphere with nn clastic
string , which brought It back to the
hand when thrown made more money
out of it than Morse made out of his
telegraph bender and receiver. There
was a fortune to the man who applied
the idea of ratchet lacing on shoes to
ladies' kid gloves. The boll punch was
another tremendously lucky hit. In
ono city alone the rents to the inventor
for the use of his punches ran as high
as500 a day.
Most people have an idea that a pat
ent carries the indorsement of value. It
doesn't do anything of the kind , as the
enormous collection of utterly Wbrth-
BSS contrivances in the model room
oos to show. When the application for
lie patent is laid before the examiner
asks himself the question is this
something now. Havirig after consulta-
ion with the records answered himself
n the atllrmativo , he reports favorably
n the application. Tlio question of
itility never enters into consideration ,
f it did would the inventor of the tape
worm trap have been able to obtain a
latent ?
It is hardly probable. The trap is n
ilver case , rounded at the top and bot-
, om so as to present no rough edges.
The top is removable. Attached to the
top is a ring , to which a strong silken
cord is tied. The idea is to have the
[ > atient starve himself ni\d his tupo-
ivorm as long as he ran stand the
misery. Then the silver tube , with a
ittlo food in the bottom of it , is lowered
down the throat and into the stomach ,
where the tape worm is by this time in
a mood to forgivo. The tape worm
speedily scents the food in the tube ,
pushes his head into the hole near the
top of the cylinder , gets part of his body
fast in the jagged points within and is
hauled out.
Some of the earlier patents for rail
roads seem ridiculous in this advanced
ago. Fifty years ago a genius devised
a plan to save the time of stopping at
stations. His idea was a curious
[ xrrnngomont of circular platforms. The
lower and outer platforms moved slowly ;
the next ono n little more rapidly , and
so on. The passenger intending to take
the train stopped from ono moving plat
form to another , Rnd when he reached
the last ho was in motion at such a rale
that ho could stop on a train going at
pretty good speed ,
Another inventor of transportation
had nn idea of making gravity do the
work of steam. Ho had a cable stretched
above the earth. At each station was a
balloon which was anchored. This
balloon was allowed to rise and lift the
cable. Then the car attached would
run down hill to the next station.
A plan to increase speed was to have
several tracksone , above another. The
lower track was stationary. The second
track moved on the first at n rate often
ton miles nn hour. The third track
moved on the second nt a rate of ton
miles which made its total ratq twenty
miles. In this way speed was increased
to the limit desired , but none of the
wheels moved at n greater rate than ten
miles an hour. Of course those ideas
never got beyond the antiquated models
over which visitors to the model room
now indulge in mirth.
The prohibition movement hns
prompted some queer inventions which
the patentees doubtless thought would
go like hot cukes in Maine , Iowa , Kan
sas and the local counties in other
states. Ono of these contrivances is the
anti-prohibition cane. It is hollow nnd
hns n tube extending out just back of
the handle. It holdb a pint of whisky.
Then there is the whisk broomdesigncd
for travelers i n prohibition states. It
is a pint flask cleverly surrounded by
what appears to be n broom , but the top
of the handle unscrews and there is the
neck of the bottlo.
"Will you brush the dust out of your
throat ? " is the invitation which goes
with this device.
Some inventor , who realizes how dis
agreeable is the custom of going out bo-
twcon acts , has patented a peculiar pair
of opera glasses. His contrivance has a
largo cylinder between the two glasses.
This tube has a neck which projects
just below the handles. The tube is
large enough to contain four or five
good > lnipd. " The glasses can bo elevtt'
ted and tlio drink taken without excit
ing any suspicion from those not in the
secret.
The anti-prohibition literature is ox-
tensive. One sacrilegious Inventor has
patented what appears to bo a bible , but
what is really nothing but a case for a
bottle , and another has chosen tin imita
tion outside of ono of Dickons' novels
for the same purpose.
Any subject that engrosses public at
tention is sure to sot genius to work in
that particular direction. A year ago
this winter there was a series of railway
horrors. Collisions 'ind broken rails
caused wrecks , which speedily caught
flro from the stoves , and passengers
fastened in the debris wore burned to
death. Immediately the applications
for patents on heating devices for cars
began to pour in forty , fifty and sixty
a month. But it seems that none of
thorn haye mot the long-folt want. The
trouble with patentees , -who start out to
meet one of these popular , demands , is ,
that they have one object in view and.
overlook come of tbe requirements nec
essary to insure'success. . Thus ono
fnvornblo idonwith inventors of car
heaters has beou to put a reservoir of
wntor nboVo the fclove and empty it by a
valve .arranged , i to work only when
the turned ovor. The trouble'
with thcBo inventors is , they did not
seems to think o [ the scalding steam
whichwould bo generated. Ono of the
novel IdciM is a largo door in the side of
the car where tlio steve stands. When
the accident occurs the door is expected
to lly open nnd thb , ' steve to tumble out.
This , however , works only in case of
the car turning ever on ono side. There
have boon nuinQiijus patents taken out
on the idea of having the heating ap
paratus in n small oar by itself , with
pipe connections through the train.
Ono original idea is to have two pipes
with funnel mouths extending out in
frontof the engine on cither side. As the
engine moves along the cold air rushes
into the pipes , is curried along through
the bailer nnd boated , nnd thence trans
ferred to pipes running through the
cars.
cars.But the big round vessel of.oll to bo
carried on top of the car is on email's
purely original motion. His idea is to
heat the steve with oil instead of coal ,
and the supply is to bo carried in the
spherical reservoir on the roof. This
vcbsol is so attached that as soon as the
car topples ever it unfastens itself , nnd
goes rolling off across the field out of
the way. Tlio supply of oil being thus
cut off , the steve goes out. A part of
this plan is a contrivance which , as the
car turns ever , sends a puff of com
pressed air through n plpo and blows
out all of the lights.
Numerous patents have been taken
out for inclosing the car steve in a
fire-proof compartment. There is ono
arrangement which , when the crash
comes , lets n heavy casting in the form
of a hugo cap fall over the steve and
confine the flro.
The general objection which rail
road men niako to tncso car-heating pa
tents is that they call for too much out
lay.Within
Within n week there have como from
the Pacific coasts reports of a discovery
which is to revolutionise the principles
of rainfall and make the barometer
hide its face in shame. The idea is to
&et forces , which will outwit nature , nt
work among the clouds nnd thus make
the rain fall whether or no. The princi
pal agency is a balloon , which is to bo
anchored to the ground. The Pacific
coast genius may hnvo an improvement ,
but the mam feature .of his plan is al
most as old as the patent olllco. The
iden-of an anchored balloon with elec
tric connections to fire chnrges of pow
der nnd produce concussion nmong the
clouds has been long patented.
Entirely original ideas arc very scarce
now , as would-bo inventors discover
weekly. There came to the office some
time ago , as the story is told , ono of the
most eminent of the able clergymen of
Washington. He had the inevitable
package under hislnrm nnd putting it
upon the table iaJront of the commis
sioner ho dreW out 'hls pocket book to
pay the advance fco. The ofllcial
looked at the machine nnd then at the
clergyman. Then'lie went to his library
and brought out a book and kindly sug
gested that the goad- man should rend it
before ho ventured any money on his
machine. The book was a history of the
attempt to produce perpetual motion.
The clergyman ran over the pages
rapidly. Suddenly ho stopped and read
with care. Then ho closed the book ,
handed it back with a word of thanks ,
wrapped up his machine and went away
More than 100 years ago that same ma
chine had been invented to secure per
petual motion and had scored thos usual
failure. * "
The clergyman was honest in the be
lief that ho nnd solved the secret and
that nobody that had ever hit upon that
particular idea before.
Patent olllco officials say that in the
great throng of inventors more depends
upon the man himself than upon the in
vention. The story of the wise inventor
and the foolish inventor is oft repeated.
The foolish inventor obtains a patent
upon an idea really valuable. His bond
is in the clouds. He refuses otTer after
offer for the purchase or for an interest ,
always demanding more than somebody
is willing to gix-o. The years go by and
the idea is still unproductive. Some
day the wise inventor comes along , sees
the idea of the foolish inventor and
claps upon it an "improvement , " which
is perhaps no improvement , but only
such a modification as enables the wise
inventor to got another patent on the
idea. Immediately the wise inventor
skips away from Washington , and a
couple of weeks later ho and his smooth
tongued agents are selling county and
state rights.
An "inventor" came to a patent law
yer ono day with a machine which was
covered with patents. "Make some
change , " ho said , "I don't care what , to
that you can got mo a patent on the
machine. All I want is the patont. "
So the lawyer sot to work and suggested
n change which wns anything butan im
provement ; it was really a damage to
the original machine. But being a dif
ference it passed for an "improve
ment. " The inventor got his patent ,
aud ns ho paid the too ho said to. his
lawyer : "Now , I'll show you what I
wanted it for. " HO started out , and
when the lawyer heard from him again
ho had cleared $7,000 from the sale of
county rights on his "improvement. "
But the above represents an unworthy
feature of the patent business. There
are often slight changes which are real
improvements and which yield the pat
entees handsome returns. A man in
San Francisco thought of a now form
for a saw-tooth , aud has niado over
8100,000 out of his patent on it. Pat
ents on toys are illustrations of the little
tlo things that pay. Ono of the most
interesting cases in the great model-
room is that which contains the toy
money safes. There is the representa
tion of a cormorant with a slit in the
hend. When thd { coin is dropped in ,
the bnck opens for moment nnd n tan
talizing figure appears. Then there is
the representation , of a cashier who
takes the coin , moves to the bank , de
posits and comce , back for another.
There is a man with a hod which tilts
and drops the money where it cannot be
got except by koy'An automatic fig
ure With n contribution box is another
design. There ai'q ' several hundred ol
these little nafee | some of thorn with

An Elk'H Battle With Bavajto Dogs.
Lander ( Wyo..J ) correspondence ol
the Globe-Democrdt : A stockman lust
in from the Wind river range tells a
story of n fierce nnd exciting battle be
tween a courageous old elk and the wilt
dogs that infest the Wind river region.
The river escapes from the mountains
and hlls into what is known ns the basin
district ever high nnd beautiful falls
named the Maiden Hair. Whllo riding
near those hills u few days ago the
btookman'e attention was attracted by a
deep baying and , at once recognising
the sounds as coming ftom ; the savage
dogs , and realizing the necessity of get
ting but of their way , the horseman
rode rapidly to the top of a neighboring
high hill , which commanded an excel
lent view of the falls and also of the sur
rounding country. Ho had scarcely
reached the top of the hill when ho saw
dashing along a high rldgo runnim
parallel to the river , a magnificent bul
oik- hotly chased by _ a dozen or more
mountain dogs. The race had evidently
been on for Bomo' time , for the elk up
cared to bo about exhausted nnd the
logs were not in the be&t of condition.
On swept the pursued nnd the pursuers ,
every bound bringing the dogs nearer
ho haunches of the tired elk. Sud-
lenly the elk changed his course nnd
ilunged down the sldo of the ridge ,
naking straight for the falls. Ovor-
uinglng the edge of the river nnd tow
ering directly above the pool at the foot
of the falls was a huge rock On to this
ock lho bull made his way , nnd plnnt-
ng himself within n few feet of tb
edge and with lowered antlers awaited
, ho attack. Ho did not have to wait
ong. The dogs came 'on with a rush
ind hurled themselves nt their proy.
iMrst ono and then another dog was
; aught in the elk's antlers and sent
lowling into thb depths bolow. Just
when the fight was the hottest the TOOK
or ledge upon which the battle was bo
ng fought suddenly gave waynnd with
i crash , the combatants wore dropped
nto the water and rocks at the foot of
ho falls , and their bruised and bleed-
tig remains were swept on down the
tream.
