The cases of the "squatters" in Brown's
subdivision , near the river , were called up
yesterday in the district court. Some time
ngo an injunction was issued by Judge Loof-
bourow , restraining them from interfering
with this land in any way. Papers were filed
for the dissolution of this injunction , but the
day before they were to bo heard Judge
Loofhourow was called away by illness in
his family and did not return to hear them.
Judge Thornell was asked to give the matter
n hearing , but declined to do so , as under hw
construction of the law and practice ho did
not want to interfere , Judge Loofbourow
having It in hand. This term of court the in
junction case comes up and the motion to
dissolve was to bo heard to-day. Yes
terday it was called up at the suggestion on
the part of those who secured the injunction ,
that they wanted to make a further showing ,
and that this would take some time to pre
pare. It was arranged that the case should
go over until a week from to-day , the ad
ditional showing to bo filed by next Tuesday
morning , and the other side having until Fri
day to Jllo rebuttals. The "squatters" are
very anxious to hnvo the injunction dissolved
so that they may go ahead with the cultiva
tion of the land , and claim that this would
cause no damage to the parties claiming the
land , for if they gain possession by their
other buit , they could recover rental. Those
claiming the land and seeking to oust the
squatters claim , on the other hand , that they
do not want the land cultivated , for if they
win their case and get possession thov expect
to divide into lots aud sell for residences.

Sid Stringhnm , the assailant of Hi Baird ,
has been at liberty since lie wns bound over
to the grand Jury several weeks ago , Kev.
Henry UoLong acting as his bondsman in
the sum of $1,000. When'the grand Jury re
turned the indictment against Stringham
Thursday afternoon Mr. DcLong becarno
rather uneasy , and inwardly wished that
Stringham was in Jail and that ho was re
leased from his bond. Fearing to make any
move in that direction lest his man should
take alarm and skip out , ho yesterday in
vited Stringham to take a walk down to the
new court house , and the latter accepted the
invitation , as "ho hadn't much to do , " En
tering the court room Stringham threw him
self carelessly into a chair , while Mr , Do-
Long went Inside the bar to transact some
"business. " The result of the business
transaction was that the minister started out
and walked past his former companion as if
unconscious of the letter's presence , and
when Stringham arose to follow his appar
ently forgetful friend ho walked Into the
arms of Sheriff O'Noll , who was watting to
receive him. The look of surprise and sorrow
row that parsed over the face of the victim
showed plainly that ho had been confidenccd ,
and ho expressed much astonishment at the
change affairs had taken as ho was marched
over to the Jail and locked up.

CoHtly Confidence.
Albert Canning , a boarder at the Dol-

yesterday morning to realize the fact that ho
had misplaced his confidence when ho con
sented to enter into partnership with W. T.
Tatbot and handed over his money to pay for
his interest in the busircsa , Talbot repre
sented that he hud a contract with Paxton < fe
Gallagher to bore a ' . ' ,000-foot well. Ho ex
plained that it would require f300 to purchase
the necessary outfit , and Canning easily fell
into the trap and paid over $150. The pair
wont to Omaha to muko the purchase and
Talbot entered n wholesale house , and when
ha came out showed n bill purporting to bo
the amount of his purchased property. Can
ning was perfectly satisfied , us Talbot said
that the outfit would bo delivered the follow
ing clay. They returned to this city and ro
ll ml at the Bulmotiico that night , as usual.
In the morning Talbot was mUsing and has
not been seen since. H now appears that hone
no contract with Paxton & Gallagher , and
his bill of purchase was bogus. Ha secured
$150 in hard cash and has skipped out , lour
ing Canning to whistle- for his money.

Chapel congregation at Coney Island for
some months culminated In a row last even
ing , which is likely to Impair the usefulness
of the church. Hov. Ewlng Todo accepted
the pastorate of the church about n year ago.
When Mr. Todo was called Captain Floyd S.
San ford was trustee , and a liberal contribu
tor to the finances of the church. The pastor
thought ho exercised too much authority and
interfered with him in many ways , The re
sult was that Captain Sanford withdrcwand
many of the influential members followed
his example. A meeting was called last even
ing to take action on the resignation of the
clerk. Mr. Overton said : "All in favor of
rejecting Mr , Goldstlne's ( the clerk ) resigna
tion will hold up their hands. " There was
some squabbling , nnd finally Mrs. Smith vol
unteered the remark that the minister's wife
was no lady. Mrs. Tode turned on her , say
ing : "You have no right here. "
M blister Tode watched the fight until Mrs.
Smith's words stung him into action and ,
springing to his feet , ho pointed his linger at
Mrs. Smith saying , "You arc a liar , "
"You wouldn't dnro come outside of the
church and say that , " said Captain San-
ford.

LOUISVILLE , April 0. In the United States
circuit court this afternoon the case of Hico
vs the Louisville & Nashville railroad , in
volving the question of rate discrimination in
favor of the Standard Oil company , came up
on a demurrer to the bill. Judge Barnett
argued that even admitting the fact of dis
crimination , the plaintiff had no remedy at
law. The offense for which it was sought to
recover occurred before the passage of the
inter-state commerce law. and common law
did not apply , nor could this court apply any
statutory provisions of any of the states to
intcr-stato commerce. Judge Jackson , sus
tained this position and ordered the bill dis
missed.
