Green was with her , and ppent most of the next three days In the room. At the end of that time they were arrested , a charge having been pre ferred against them by Dave Long , the woman's husband , who has alnce died , When they wcro arrested It was about 7 o'clock in the evening , while they were playing high five , The detente was that Long would not have commenced the action had It not been that D.

[ UiH'l * f.yWtu"- - ATTACHES JOHN C. M2IVS STOCK. Olllorr , t 1'imej'fl HnnU IlrltiKn Suit on n .Note. The wholesale liquor store of John C. I.eo , between Main and 1'enrl ttreets , was closed yesterday on an attachment fued out In the district court by the firm of Offlccr & 1'usey , bankera Mr. Leo Is ono of th ? oldest and best known business men In the city , and ho lias been thought to be above tiny danger of financial embarrassment. Ho has a stock of liquors valued at $5,000 , nnd a residence on South Seventh street nlilch 1s worth bs- twean $20,000 and $25,000. Some tlmo ago ho secured a large grading contract In Chicago cage , and he and his family are now residing In that city. The money for this work , t o his friends here ray , did not materialize ns soon as he bad hoped , and although he will get It sooner or later , without any doubt , the fact does not help him materially now. Last Sep tember ho executed a note for $2,500 to Officer & I'usey to get money to tldo him self over. It Is on this note that the suit IE now brought. The petition alleges that Lsc Is contemplating removing his stock of liquors to Chicago , and refuses to pay the note or > cure his creditors. The i.tock wan taken charge of by the sheriff. During the day the Council Bluffs Savings bank also commenced attachment proceedings against him on a note for ? S7 , which N. O'Urlen executed to the bank last October. Leo endorsed on the back of the note his guaranty of the payment ot the note. This attachment was precipitated by the attach ment of Officer & I'usey. INA'OI.A'ES ! ( > ' ACHES OF LAND. CreNeent I.a ml Company anil G. H. IiiirlHOii PartleM to IjltlKiitloii. The Crescent Land company has sucl cut a writ of Injunction In the district court to restrain G. B. Larlsn , Perry Larlson , Alex ander Larlson , Merll Larlson , I'ailel Bcyd and Elmer Brawer from taking possession of a 100-acro tract ot land north of Crescent City , abut which a dispute has arisen. Larl- son leased a large piece ot farm land from tlio company , and the lease will expire next March. The company has been In posss3lon of thla land , and nil that adjacent to It , for the past ten years. Last Saturday night , the petition alleges , Larlsjn and the other de fendants wont out with a lot of fanco wire and posts and enclosed ICO acrjs of land outsldo of that which ho had leased , and the land company has understood that he means to maintain a forcible possession of It. When his lease expires In the spring his In tention Is to turn the land over to th ; other c'efcndants. The petition asks for a writ of Injunction to restrain the defendants from keeping the land or opposing the land com pany's peaceable possession , and a restrain ing order waa Issued by Judge Smith ao prayed. The question Involvoj'ln this suit , as In BO many others , Is that of accretions. The ICO acres which Larlson has seized lies along the Missouri river , end , the plaintiffs awsrt , have accreted to their property by the meanderlngs of the rlvsr. linker Hail a Clneh. Henry Reels' chickens have come homo to rooat. About a year ago Constable Baker started out to serve Eome papers near Cres cent City. On the way he encountered a couple of wagon loads ot fanners who were ot a facetious turn of mind. Baker wanted to go ahead , but the farmers would whip up their horses and gpt ahead. This opera tion was performed saveral times. Finally the road split , and there were two roads running almost parallel for some little dis tance. Ono team took ono branch and the other took the other. Baksr whipped up his horse nnd arrived at the place where the two roads came together Just as one of the farmers' teams came up. There was a collision , and Baker's buggy wheel was badly damaged. Henry Heels was the name of the farmer who drove the rig which -did the Injury. The other day Baker went to the- city mar ket to levy on a load of hay on account of an execution against Henry Locke. Itcels , who was with the load , said It was his , and denied that Locke had any ownership. Ba ker Immediately went back to his offlce and put a claim of $3 Into the hands of J. B. Fulton for the damage to his buggy a year ago. A suit was commenced and the hay seized. Keels came Into court yesterday nnd paid the damage , with the costs , all of which anfounted to $5.CO. As he left the court. room he threatened to have Baker arrested for fast driving on a public high way. No Information has as yet been filed. Marriage IiIeeiiNeN.

Probibly the cold weather was responsible- for the small attendance which greeted ex- Congrouman Bryan at the Unity club last evening , when he delivered his lecture on "Our Immortals. " The speaker selected Washington , Jefferson , Lincoln and Jackson whom he considered the four most representa tive Americana of the political world. They were not only great men , but their greatness had been somewhat appreciated whllo they wcro alive. Each of the four was twice elected president of the United States and ench received a greater vote In his second election than he did at his first. Washington and Jackson won their first honors In military life. All began their pub lic careers at early ages. Washington achieved prom'nence at 21 ; Lincoln at 23 | Jefferson at 25 , and Jackson at 29. Neither Washington nor Jefferson was of wealthy parentage , and Lincoln and Jackson were born In poor humble homes. Lincoln was the only public speaker ot them nil , although Jackson once made the attempt , but lost his temper nnd gave up In despair. The * moat conspicuous traits which the four had In common were moral courage , faith In popular government , and ability to Judge correctly hUman nature. On the tombstone of Jefferson , at Monti- cello , are Inscribed the words that he himself desired should be placed there. Briefly they say that ho wrote the Declaration of Inde pendence , was the author of the statute of Virginia , securing religious liberty , nnd was the father of the University of Virginia. It Is not strange that this plain man should not mention the many honors that ho had re ceived. The lecturer highly praised Jeffer son's connection with those Hires Institutions. Ho also spoke of Jefferson's watchfulness of government , and said that Americans of today could not bo too vlglHnt In this respect , that they should not cease watching a man after they had elected him to public officf. Jef ferson favored emancipation ot slaves , and once wrote that "love of Justice nnd love of country both plead the cause of the black man. " Far different from the scholarly Jefferson was Jackson. The latter had pcarcely nny educational advantages , and was p.-sltlvcly Illiterate. Jnckson was a successful lawy.r. the lecturer said , because a certain record showed that while htf wag yet a young man ho succeeded In having himself chossn ai cotini'3l for three-fourths of the cas s on the docket. Ho was a brn leader , and that fact accounted for his successes In battle nnJ In political life. After som ; experience In an Indian war , ho raised a troop cf 225 men nnd entered the war ot 1S12. In ono of his presi dential meojagesi Jnckson advocated n email navy. Mr. Bryan heartily endorsed this prin ciple , arguing that there was no nation on arth which could more quickly raise an army or flat a navy than the United States. In many rcrpects Lincoln was the greatest man In American history. Ills fame was dally Increasing , nnd now far greater than at ths closj of the war. This was tru ? , espe cially In the wuth. Thcr ? was scarcely a southerner who did not revere the name of Lincoln. The speaker said that he had trav eled considerably In tl o south , and had yet to most the first southerner who spoke un kindly of Lincoln. If there was one virtue of Lincoln's which shona out more brightly than any other , It was his hcnesty. Mr. Bryan rpoko highly of Lincoln as nn orator , ana declared that the debate between Lin coln nnd Douglas was the grsatest the world had over heard. The numerouD stoning qvanuss 01 wasn- tngton's character were duo In part to his study of good maxims In his youth. Wash ington was a great bsllever in Providence , and was a devout Christian. In the war cf lha revolution his genius was absolutely nec essary to success , and the battles of Trsnton and Princeton were cited as turning points In that conflict. In conclusion the lecturer alluded to the monument to Washington in the republic cf Venezuela. Ho said that as such a work was often a monument to the living who built It , ns well as to the dead whom It honored , so the presence of a Wash ington monument In that South American re public testified to the devotion of Its people to the principles of government which Wash ington had taught.
