The question of the ownership of n Hill * mnttcr of $300 has been -.t Issue for ? cvern mcntliB past between II. W. Pomeroy and J. B , Swtcl. since an opinion handed down by Juilgi Groin of the district bench yester day Pomeroy seems to have first blood. Pom eroy was convicted a short time ago ci cheating the Sealer brothers out of $200 by selling them a pleco of land to which he hnd no title. He engaged J. B. Sweet as his attorney. He has a brother In Illinois , who la well off , nnd the brother sent him $300 to be deposited with some Council Bluffs manse so as to cnabU' lilm to get a bond. The bend was fixed at $250 and lattr on reducsd to $200. Pomeroy was released from custody. After his conviction he b-gjn to look orouni' ' after his brother's money nnd found thai Sweet had gobbled It for attotny foes. Not bng ego IIP made a motion , asking the court to Issue n summary order for Sweet to turn "over the money , alleging that It be- lorgcd to his brother , and that It hal bc.r given to assist him In getting a bond , ami for no other purpoe. Swcot resisted the motion on gener.il grounds. Judge 15 run handed do'.rn n decision yesterday to the effect that the objections to the motion foi the ord > r might bo good In part If urged against the pleading , but the statute Mys that In cases of this class a hearing shall be had without written pleadings. All thai Is necessary Is that the Issues bo defined wl.h enough clEarno3 to let Sweet know the nature of the misconduct with which he Is charged , and this , the court holds , has been done. The objections were overruloj with out pnjudlco to HID defendant's right to raise them again on final hearing. John Limit , who now appears as Pome- roy's attorney , stated , when asked about the case last evening , that all the $309 belonging to Pomeroy's brother Is new In the PSESSS- slon of Swoet. In the first place th bond was only $200. The money was deposited In a local bonk and the cashier of the bank signed the bond. Then , Llndt t ys , Sweet went to I. C. Bonhnm , of whom lit had bought a house , and told him that If he woulil sign a fellow's bond he would get him $20(1 ( In cash as a payment on the house. Bonham was glad to get the money , very naturally , and agreed to sign the bond. The money was t hereupon drawn cut of the bank and turned over to Bonham , who signed the bond. _ y.AI/TSMAXX WANTED HIS 51 OX 13 Y. liitrlfiirlt-H or AnnTlciui In\v Too .Much for IIlH UiKlLTNtniiilliiK. M. Zaltsmann , who keeps a sjcond-hand store on Lower Broadway , was In a pock of trouble yesterday. He had had Mrs. E. Rogers arrested In Omaha several days ago and brought to this side of the rlvsr to answer to the charge of cheating h'm out of ? GO by selling him some household goods on which there was a chattel mortgage In favor of another party. Several times the case was brought up for trial and continued on one pretext or another , and yesterday after noon there had to be a show down. Zalts mann declared he- could not stay In cert , be cause ho had a child lying at tha point cf death. Justice Cook decided he had waited long enough and dismissed the case. Zaltsmann forgot all about his sick child nnd came back to the court rtom sonu time after the case had ben dismissed. He demanded that Jus tice Cook give him his $ GO. Cook told him he didn't have his money , but tlHt > made no difference. "Justice VIen told me all I hat to do vas to get her arrhested und I vould get my money , " wns the burden of his tong. Mrs Zallsiriann was with him arid with many tears she seconded the motion. When Cook re mained inexorable ! shs exclalmeJ , pathetic ally. "You're a-killln' mo ! You're a-klllln * me ! " Finding that tears and prayers were of no avail , the pair bare down upon George H. Gable , who acted as attorney for Mrs. Rogers and demanded that he clve un tfm mntiov' Gable refused and Zaltsmnnn yelled : "Dat's vy I had her arrhestcxl shoost to get my money. " Gable picked up the code and showed Zoltsmann a section full of legal terms , the burden of wh ch was that any one who tried to extort money by means of a cilir.lnal prosecution was likely to get Into Jail. Zaltsmann didn't care a rap for the cede ; ho wanted his money , and he asked the court to allow him to file another In formation. The- court evoded the matter and slid ouS while the Jawing was going on. Zaltsmann and his wife spent the larger part of the aftsrnoon creat-nir a dlsturbanc-j about the Justice shop , but at last accounts there were no further developments. M1XI.ST13U AX1 > "IJOCTOJl" AT OUTS. TlifOtililliiH Xeivcll of ChlciiKO WniilK DiuniiKVH from llov. .Mr. Kllln. Rtv. J. W. Ellis of Coon Rapids , la. , was made defendant In a damage suit In the federal court yesteray afternoon , as the outgrowth of his connection some years ago cf a patent m.'dlclne deal. Newell Is the owner and proprietor of a medicine known as "Vltae-Oro , " by which certain wonder ful things arc said to be done. He not only patented the medicine , but copyrighted thj name and also the Initials " " , "V-O , which lie ut-jd extensively In advertising the mixture. Ellis was his agent at Coon Rapids for sev eral ysars , during which time he handled a Urge amount of thei medicine. To assist him In making known the properties of the medi cine , Newell sent him some beautiful litho graphs , showing Ellis to be a man of large whiskers , and Ellis advertised himself by means of the lithographs. Not long ago Newell claims to have dis covered that Ellis hnd compounded another medicine , which ho named "Vitalizing Ore , " and soldby representing It to be ths same thing as Newell's ccncoctlon. He also used the- magic Initials , "V-O. " Newell found out about It nnd discharged Ellis. Now ho wants the court to compel Ellis to make an ac counting for ths goods he has sold Under the new name and to pay him suitable dam ages. Ho also wants an Injunction to re strain Ellis from using the name- and In itials.

J , J , Stewart and Jacob Slrns appeared be fore Judge Smith yesterday afternoon with a request that a bond be fixed for Frank Jackson , who Is under Indictment for mur der In the first degree. Jackson was a mem ber of the gang that killed "Texas" Baker , but his attorneys claimed that his part was a very Insignificant onf. They put Jackson's father en the stand. Ho was an eye witness of the affiay , and testified that his eon merely pushed Baker early In the disturbance , brfcre any assault had been committed , A young friend of Jackson's testified sub stantially to the came thing. Jackson's at torneys diked that a bond of not to exceed $500 be fixed , on the ground that only such a bond was "necessary aa would Insure the presence of the defendant when thi case came up for trial. Jackson would not run off , but wanted to get to work. Judge Smith took the case under advisement and will render a decision Monday. Juit Itvoclrcit. A fancy line of children's shoes.

Jen nings stepped Into the breach , and the paper was filed bsfora Justice Vien. The irrest wns made about C o'clock last even ing. Parker put up. a bond cf $100 , with L , . C. Empkle and EK. . Clark as sureties. The case will ba heard Monday , Decsmbsr 30. There Is considerable doubt as to the ability of the society to make the charge stick , for Parker docs not profess to practice medicine , but osteopathy , or the science of 'manipulation.

( Special Telegram. ) -Proaveilings have been formally commenced to restrain the- collection of the $100,000 lax voted by the city Hat year to aid In the erection of the Missouri river bridge here. Many of the allegations have never been passed on by Iowa courts and the case will be an Interesting one. It Is alleged that the tax raises the city's Indebtedness beyond the legal limit , that the bridge Is not wholly within the Jurisdiction of the Mate , that the law under which the election wns held Is un constitutional , that the conditions set forth In the petition for the election and those voted on at the election were not the same , that proper notice of the election was not given , that many of the signers of the pe-tltlon were Improperly Influenced by promises made by the bridge company , and. lastly , that a majority of the resident freeholders did not sign the peti tion , as required by law.

IJI3STIIUCT10N ISLA.W ) . Tli I n KN Si-en liy ( lie ICcoiicr of n Ilivli- horiNc Off the Xorth rnclllc Const. The keeper of the government lighthouse which wns established a few years ago on Destruction Island , says the Seattle Post , leads a lonely life , but he has some experi ences which a lover of the romantic nnd the adventurous might well covut. This Island Itself Is not without a certain weird fascination. Thirty-live miles south of Cape Flattery It rises abruptly from the face of the ocean. It has a picturesque , though wild and rugged beauty , and as It stand ? facing- the northern blasts that have sent more than one Flout yhlp to the bottom. It calls up the name of Isla de Dolores , which the early Spanish navigator. Quadra , gave It to commemorate his misfortunes , and the later name of Destruction island , given to It In 17S7 by Captain Berkley on account of the sad fate of several of his crew who were murdered on Its navage coast. On wild tind stormy nights , when the wind Is whirling' the tea Into foam against the beetling edges of the Island , the Bcene passes the merely beautiful nnd becomes majest'c and FUbllme , On such nights the keeper has visitors that do not come to the door of the or- dlr.ary landlubber. Flocks of wild fowl , at tracted by the bright light , fly blindly to ward It , and , with the force of the wind added to that of their own Etout "wings , they are driven against the lens with a momentum that sometimes shatters the thick Rlfua but oftcner remits merely In In stant death to the birds. Sometimes there Is n positive volley of birds against the face f th ? lleht , and as many as u dozen have been known to btrlke It simultaneously. After a stormy nlplil It Is not uncommon for the keeper to pick up nt the base of the tower as many ns twenty-five dead birds. Many of those are of the eholcest kinds , and the keeper's table- seldom lacks a supply such as an epicure might crave. During the day the keeper Is frequently greeted by the thrilling Bight of a whale hunt by Indians In the neighboring watorr , a chase as hazardous and exciting ns any on mountain or plain. Each canoe goes out with a crew of six oarsmen , ono epeamnan In the bow , and the captain or helmsman In the stern. To the end of the spear an air-tight seajekln , Inflated like a bladder , IK attached by a line Hfty feet long. A dozen of these teats go out together whnn a ulmle IH blghtcd. .Stealthily a ( tingle boat moves , out from the little licet und approaches preaches the big game , the oarsmen xtoical and calm , the t < poar.smen erect , rlpld , statuesque. It Is a moment of grave peril. A splashing oar , n sudden move , n waver ing hand or hot head at the helm and boa' and crew would go down beneath a single stroke from the gicnt monster now so near. At" precisely the right Instant the spears- men hurls his spear with unerring aim , and the battle begins. And then one standing on the Island cliff seen the little boat dart uway and the whale fiercely churning the water. The other boats corno up rapidly. Weak ened bv IOJH of blood , retarded by the air tight skins that float on the wntor , nnd worn out by turning hither and Ihlthcr In vttilmsical pursuit of his many foes , the whale slowly given over the uneiiual contest - test , und IH towed nt last , like u great hulk of n merchantman , to Neali bay , where the Indians gather for a great feast.
