The whole nmount used in the western half of the state for that time w.is 7VJ ) : ! gallons of oil and 7i,5"l ) gallons of gasoline.

May Miller , a red headed denizen of "Tho How , " was locked up for indulging her com bative proclivities , contrary to the law and against the peace of the irood city of Council UlulTs. She swore like ti trooper when the ofllcer Insisted that she should accompany lilm , and after being lodged In the city cas- tlcsct up a lugubrious howl that nearly drove the icsldents in the vicinity of the Jail cru/y.

Tlio great Cochran sale of lots in the west ern part of the city was inaugurated yester day morning , nnd bidding was very lively. Thirty-eight lots were disposed of , nt prices ranging from $ . ' ! 00 to $550 per lot. The sale will bo continued from day to day until nil nro sold. Colonel Cochran hired a band for L the occasion , and considerable Interest was manifested by investors generally. The hack nnd 'bus lines aid u rushing business , as the number visiting the ground w.is very largo. Omaha was very well represented among the buyers. Captain O'Brien did a quick picco of work yesterday. Tues-day afternoon a stranger hired a livery rig at the stable of ,1. L. Giles , on North Main. As he did not return at the time agreed , it was supposed that he had htolen the team , and the case was put in the hands of Anderson ! ' of the * t Q'Brien , mer chants' police. The team was found in Ste venson's stable in Omaha , It was somowh.it dcmorallicd , having gone through u disas trous runaway , and was captured on the street. It is supposed that the fellow was nfraid to face the liveryman and skipped out , as ho has not been seen since. The grand jury yesterday returned three indictments. Ono of them was against Tnl- bet , the fellow employed by Duubar & Co. as n canvasser while preparing thu last di rectory of this city. Talbot passed a forged check for $10 on his employes , at the store of Sargent & Evans about three months ago , nnd has been contlned in the county lull since that time. It is believed from the inaccuracy of the directory that checks were not the only forgeries committed by Talbot and sev eral of the other canvassers. The other par ties indicted are not yet arrested , but their cases are well known and have already at tracted considerable newspaper comment. Boots , Shoos. Kinnohan's , 320 B'way. E. H.

The republican congressional convention , which assembled yesterday at the county couit house , was , to draw It mildly , ns line n representative body as over assembled Within those walls. The delegates , gathorc-i from the various parts of the Ninth fault-let , wcro largely from the profcis'.ids , ntul thu deliberations of the convention wcro marked by rare ability. The Ogd/jn house was m ido the headQuarters - Quarters bf the delegates , us the major ! ty of them quartered there during their stay in the city. During the late hours of the pre vious evening and the early IIOUIM of yester day morning the corridors were thronged With delegates and the friends of thu lisp Ir an Is for congressional honors. A gioat deal of work was bone , but was done so quietly that there was not n ripple upon the surface of things. There was the usual "assembling" of the various delega tions ; the usual "button-holing" of dele gates , but BO little form was assumed that up to the hour of assembling nothing could be ascertained as to the probable result. The delegations themselves wcro nil at sea. The outside work was characterized by the ut most pleasantness , nnd while the work was earnest and the feeling In some quarters in tense , nothing of this appeared upon the sur face. In the crowd wcro many familiar fares. Of course the possible candidates wcro there with the exception of Lymnn , Lafo Young , of the Atlantic Telegraph ; Silas Wilson , of Cass county ; S. t ) . Nichols , of Audubon , and many others. A. II. Lawshe , the "liarz Saw" of Ucd Oak , w.is there , as his grim humor , peculiar argumenta tion and the hearty laughs which followed his quaint speeches testilled. Thu convention assembled atll0 : ! , and was called to order by Colonel \V. F. Sapp , chairman of the congressional central com mittee. Major C. W. Snyder , of Mont gomery county , was mndo temporary chair man , and II. W. Byera , of Shelby county. was made temporary secretary. On a roll of counties the committee on credentials , or ganization mid resolutions wcro named as Credentials Henry Cook , of Adair county ; J. A. OborhoUzor , of Audubon ; U. W. Erstino , of Cass ; C. W. Hill , of Guthrie : J. A. Moore , of Harrison ; M. H. Byers , of Mills ; John Patton , of Montgomery ; C. H. Converse - verso , of Pottawattamio ; W. J. Davis , of Shelby. Permanent organization in the order of counties named ; A. D. Crooks. L. M. Estos , Theodore Brown , W. B. Moulton , C. L. Hvdo , S. E. Hunter , M. F. Dillcy , W. I. Smith , H. C. McCluskoy. Resolutions : C. B. Hunt , Charles Van Gorder , Lafo Young , E. H. Sayles , J. W. Stockcrt , W. S. Lewis , C. K. Kennedy , Frank Shinn , C. W. Heinsmith. The con vention then adjourned until 1UO : p. m. On reassembling tlio committee on creden tials reported the counties entitled to repio- entation by delegate as follows : Adair 'J ' ; Vudubou 0 ; Cass 10 ; Guthrie 10 ; Harrison 1 ; Mills S ; Montgomery 10 ; Pottawattamio 7 ; Shelby 8 ; also that tlio delegations voro all full witli ono or two exceptions , and wommended that in those cases where hero were absentees the delegates present : ast the full vote of the delegation. This , vas adopted. Tlio committee on permanent organization reported that the temporary bo made perma nent , which was adopted. D. II. Willoy w.is uiado assistant secretary and Ed Mott desig nated to assist in registering the ballots. On motion n hearing of the committee on resolutions was temporarily dispensed with. Nominating speeches were also lot go by the board , and the convention proceeded to take an informal ballot for choice for congress man. Tills resulted us follows : Major Joseph Lyman , 27 ; Silas Wilson , 13 ; S. D. Nichols , 10 ; C. M. Harl , 21 ; John "A. Story , 13. 13.Tho first formal ballot resulted : Lyman 81 , Nichols 18 , Hnrl 20 , Wilson 13. 'Subsequent ballots , although they changed .ho figures , did not bring the nomination any nearer to anybody. During the progress of the vote to the flfty-socond ballot , other names were brought out for the purpose of defeating the nomination ot some ono who was in danger of being struck by lightning. J. W. Stockort was named by Mills county 'n the fourth ballot , Colonel Sapp in thu lfth , J. J. Stoadman in the fifteenth , Judge J. U. Hood in the forty-flrst , Lafo Young In the sixty-first and several others. In the fortieth ballot Judge Ilced received forty votes and it looked as though ho would got thcro. But live more votes wore needed and his friends did hard work to accomplish that result ; but it was not so to bo. In the sixty-third ballot Steadman pulled up to thirty-seven , and his friends wcro hopeful ho might get the plum. At that point ho arose and in a manly speech stated that he was thcro us a member of the delega tion of this county to work for the success of Mr. Harl , and ho could not , under thcso circumstances , allow his name to stay before the convention ns a possible candidate. An adjournment of fifteen minutes was taken at 8 o'clock , but this aid not mnko matters any better. At 4:20 : o'clock another call for ad journment was defeated. The convention had evidently struck a deadlock , and realiz ing this fact , and that further balloting was useless at that time , an adjournment was voted at5 : 0. The convention assembled at 7:80 : o'clock and resumed voting ut the sixty-fifth ballot. It was expected that lobbying during the re cess would have gotten matters into somu more definite shape , but it was not GO. The ballots until the eighty-ninth was reached showed little variation from those preceding. Ben Clavton was complimented with 0 votes in tlio oighty-fouith , nnd Judge Deemcr'a nainu was brought nut in the eighty-ninth. In this ho received fl votes and the followliifi ono 17. The tide was setting in strongly in that , direction , when' a member of the Mont gomoy county delegation , Mr. Miller , stated that under no consideration would Judge Deemcr accept the nomination if it was offered him. Thai stopped the Deomcr boom , nnd the votinp proceeded ns before. At the nincty-lirsl ballot Judge Heed's name had droppcO almost out of the race. On the ninety-sec end four votes wcro cast for him. Durlup the polling of the next two ballots members ol the Pottawnttamio delegation were al work and with good effect , for Heed's vet ( climbed up to H3 in the ninety-third balloi and to 47 in the nlucty-fQurth. The broal occurred when Montgomery county cast hoi vote. She cave u healthy change in Hoed'i direction , Audubon followed suit , Mills gnvt him her eight votes , Shelby caino In with i change of heart and clinched the business b : a complete turn over. This gave Judge J H. Heed the nomination. Cheer upon chcci followed , nnd the wildest enthus iasm prevailed. Colonel Hubbard rcai n telegram from Judge Heed to the effcc that if certain conditions occurred in the de liberations of the convention ( the ones cltei above ) , ho would accept the nomination if ii was tendered him. During the polling of thu sixty-fifth ballot Walter 1. Smith , on behalf of tlio supporter of C. M. Harl , withdrew that gentlcman'i namo. This was done for the purpose o harmony in the convention , and at Mr. Harl'i request , said Mr. Smith. Adair county gavi nine votes for her favorite , John A. Story all tno way through , ami Guthr'o ' did thi same by Nichols. If fidelity to tncir interests osts could have won , either of the gcnt'cinei named would have been nominated. The secretary was instructed to notlfj Judge Heed of his nomination. The congressional central committee wn then selected as follows : Adal : county , M. A. Hanoy ; Audubon Charles Van Gorder : Cass , D. H. Scott Guthrle , W. P. Moulton : Harrison , J. W Stockert ; Millo , H. W. Byers ; Montgomery W. H. Parker ; Pottnwattamlo , T. J. Evans Shelby. C. W. Hlnesmlth. The eonventloi then adjourned to meet at the polls next No vcuiber. Major Snydcr and Mr. Byers wondesorvci compliments for the manner in which the , discharged the duties of their positions. Cocko and Morgan in Court. Yesterday morning in the district cour the trial of a very Important case , ono ir volviug HS,000 , was begun. The case I docketed , W. S. Mnyno , assignee , vs Council Bluffs Savlnirt bank , damnzcs and Is the first of the following series , all of which grew out of the case on trial to-days W. S. Maync , assignee , vs M. E.

Jaffray ft Co. ot al ; same vs Frederick S. Plnkus ct al ; same vs John Dohanoy et al ; all for dam ages. The plaintiff's amended and substitut ed petition in tlio case on trial to-day recites that W. S. Muvnc Is thu duly appointed and qualified assignee of Cocko & Mor gnu , n firm that was engaged In the dry goods business m Council Bluffs on January 20 , IsSK , ami for two years prior thereto. On Janunry 2U , ibMl. thu de fendant began nn action in the circuit court of Pottnwnttamo ! county and In the petition In sahl lU't..un , amonir other averments , nl- " ' "Cu that the said Cocko & Morgan wcro fibjut to dispose of their property with the Intention to defraud their croJItors ; that on the tiling of R.ild petition u writ of attach ment was Issued and on the same day was levied on the property of Cooke it Morgan at their store nt No. 817 Bro id way. Tlio prop erty levied on consisted of a general line of dri goods vnluod at $1,100. The petition fur ther recites that this property has never been returno.l or in any way accounted forte to either members of the firm. The allega tion of the defendant that Cocko & Morgan Intended to defraud their creditors is denied nml the assertion madu that the defendant had no reasonable grounds for supposing that Coclto & Morgan were about to dispose of their property with any such Intention. Cocko & Monr.in , though cloned on January 29 , hud to pay the rent on the building for the remainder of the term of the le.iso , the amount being $ J70. They nlso had paid just n short time previous to January 21) ) , 6180 premium on the insurance of their goods , which Insur ance nt once lapsed on the filing of the writ of attachment. The plaintiff further alleges that owing to the loss of time nnd the un necessary oxpnso to which Cocko it Morgan wcro put by the writ of attachment they were damaged to the extent of Sll'00. Count two of the plaintiffs , after enumerating the losses , etc. , to wliirh Couko it Morgan were subjected us a result of the mn'icious allega tions contained in the defendant's petition for a writ of attachment , fixes their total damages nt18,000 , for which judgment is asked. The defendant's answer to the petition de nies thai ttio plaintiff is tlio real pat ty inter ested and denies each and every allegation contained In the plaintiff's petition. It will bu a great letral battle and somu of the best legal talent in the city will bo engaged in it. Slotio it Kims represent the plaintiff , while Sapp it Pusuy ami Wright , Baldwin it Hal- dune will look after the interests of the de fendant.

This beautiful thoroughfare through ono of the ploasantest portions of the city now offers greater inducements to lartics out lor pleasure driving than almost ny other p.u-t of the city. Adorned by elegant gant residences on either side , and Bayliss uric near the eastern end , thcro is nothing acking to make it as nearly perfect as it is ) ossiblo , for a strcat so no.ir the center of ho city to bo. As soon as the season's p iv- , ng is completed , this street will form a part of a continuous block paved drive around the city. South Eighth street is nlrcady paved : o connect it with Broadway , and with the proposed paving of North Eighth , Bluff and Pierce streets , the long strip of paving on Mynster street nnd Washington nvouuo will bo readily accessible , and there will bo no connections wanting. The grading of those streets above named has already been done , and the plank for the foundation has been taken to the ground. The paving force has been transferred to Sixth and Seventh streets , between First avenue and Broadway , and thcso connections will bo completed by 'ho end of the present week. The paving of eighth street south to Eighth avcnuo will hen bu finished. The grading of Willow av enue and Sixth street is being pushed as rap idly as possible in order that the contractor may got to work ou the brlek paving that is to bo laid on those streets. Contractor Wick- ham nlso has about 8,000 feet of cypress pav ing to put down in that vicinity.

Chief Lucas captured the fellow yesterday morning , who inveigled two little twelve' year-old school girls into his room on Nortl : Main street Tuesday morning. Ho was found in bed and quickly transferred to the police station , whore ho was identified by the girls and the teacher nt the Lindsay school build ing. Ho was taken to the county jail for safe keeping , and his case given to the grand jury , which Immediately investigated it. The fellow's name is Thomas Barrett , and ho Is a frc.iuenler of tlio Broadway game ling houses. The girls are daughters of em nontly respectable parents , nnd their names are wlthcld as the families do not desire any notoriety in the matter. The story told by ono of the girls Is to the effect that she was going homo with some mcdiciiio for her sis ler when the villain met her on the Mali street bridge , and asked where she had been. Ho was a btrangjr , but she said she had been to cct some medicine for her sister , when ho said that her sit > tcr was at his room and wanted to see her , and fcho Innocently went with him. She asked his name , nnd ho said "Why , you know who I am , Iain Tom. ' They enteied tlio room and ho locked the door. Her sister , of course , was nowhere to bo seen , nnd ho said tliat she must have gene out , but would bo back soon. Tlio girl bo cumo alarmed and began to run about th room nnd cry , whereupon ho unlocked th door and allowed her to go out. Ho followed the other girl Into the water closet in the rear of the school building. The chnrgi placed against him is assault with intent t < commit rape. Ho docs not deny tils guilt , but savs ho ir list have been drunk nt the time , although others who saw him thu morning say this is not so. Ho is nboul twenty-four years of ago and has a decidedly unsavory reputation. Considerable feeling is expressed against him nnd it Is the genera' impression that It will go hard with him.
