Thn Dlckcrson case Is ncarlng completion
The defendant was on the witness stand nl
day yGHterday , and the direct examination
was completed. The cross-examination was
taken up and was partly finished nt the
adjournment of court. It Is thought now
that the defense will complete thn prnscnta
tlon of Its evidence on Tuesday , and that the
casu may go to the Jury by Wednesday night
On the witness stand yesterday morning
Mr. Dckoron ! told nil about his movements
during the fall and summer of 1S93. He
testified that he was In Chlcngo on October
30 , the date that Witness Wllbern said he
had business dealings with him in his ofllce
nt Atlantic , and In the course of the trans
action Mr. Dlckcrsou said that the Cass
County bank'was In financial distress.
After the election In 1893 Mr. Dlckcrson
said ho went to Missouri on buslnc&s , am
did not return until Christmas day. He
was told that day by A. W. Dlckcrssn that
the bank was In urgent need of ready cash
Ho went to Davenport to raise some money
In order to pay his Indebtedness to the bank
Ho was not pucccsiiful In making the loan
and came homo on the evening of the 2till
of December , Ho then learned the con
dition of the bank , and at once took the
preliminary steps for the appointment of a
receiver. ,
Mr. Dlrkcrsori testified that he was In
Davenport In 1S93 In the fall , and when
there met Yetzcr , to whom he said ho was
trying to raise money with which to pay the
Indebtedness of I. & E. J. Dlckerson to the
Cass County bank. IIo dented that he had
ever told Yetzor that ho didn't know
whether he could keep the bank open all day
or not. He testified that during the summer
of 1S03 he visited the bank only occasionally
and then had no part In the operation or
management of the Institution , Ho walked
home frequently , he admitted , with his son ,
A. AV. Dlckerson , but the subject of the
solvency or Insolvency of the bank wns never
discussed by them. The witness said that
up to the 27th day of December , 1S93 , he
necr for a moment questioned the solvency
of the bank. Ho had never guaranteed any
one's deposit for the purpose of Inducing
people to deposit money In the bank.
ON CROSS-EXAMINATION.
The direct examination of the dpfcnse was
completed at 2:30 : o'clock and Mr. Harl took
up the cross-examination for the state. Ho
first asked Mr. DIckarson about his business
.career prior to 1S5G , when ho located at
Lewis , In Cass county. Mr. Dickcrson testi
fied that ho had been a member of a gen
eral merchandise firm at Oskaloosa , nnd tint
the firm made an assignment In 1850. He
then came to Louis and closed out a stock of
goods for an eastern firm and was elected
county treasurer of Cass county In 1857 , and
served , until 1SGC , and then engaged In the
real estate business and had continued In
that business ever since. Mr. Harl's purpose
was to 'fchow that Mr. Dlckerson had a better
knowledge of bookkcenlnc than had been In-
dlcrted by the witness In his direct examina
tion. Mr. Dickerson explained that his busi
ness at that time , prior to 1879 , when he
took a partner and went Into the abstract
business , had been of a character that did
not require 'tho services of a bookkeeper.
After the partnership with John H. Wood , In
1879 , Mr. Wood kept all the books and ab
stracts. In 1889 the firm of Isaac & E. J.
Dlckcrson was organized , and E. J. Dicker-
son took charge of the books. He was
29 years of ago at the time and had
been employed In the county treasurer's
oflicc and had worked In a bank for a num
ber of years. The firm employed two men ,
an abstracter and n bookkeeper , nnd these
were employedi until about the 1st of Jan
uary , 1893.
Mr. Dickerson testified that ho had been
trewurer of Cass county , trustee of Cass
township , postmaster at Lewis , and for one
year had been surveyor of Cass county , and
had also served ono term in the city council
at Atlantic. Ho testified that the business
ot I. & E. J. Dlckcrson amounted to from
$25,000 to $40,000. The bulk of this business
was with Casa county people and much ot the
business was done through the Casj County
bank.
bank.BROUGHT
BROUGHT OUT NOTHING NEW.
Mr. Harl examined Mr. Dlckerson very
closely on his part as a member of the com
mittee appointed yearly to examine the bills
receivable and note accounts of the bank.
Nothing new was developed In the examina
tion. Mr. Dlckerson reiterated his state
ment that , ho had always accepted the rliow-
ings as prepared by the officers of the bank
nnd had no active part In the affairs himself.
Ho had made no examination of the bank's
accounts , as a member of the committee ,
olnce May , 1890. The etato was urgent In
an effort to show that Mr. Dlckereon had
knowledge of the Indebtedness of J. C. Yet-
zer and other heavy debtors of the bank.
On the Indebtedness of the firm of I. & E.
J. Dlckerson to the bank Mr. Dlckcrson
said he could not tell what the amount was ,
as the business from 1891 to 1891 had been
conducted almost entirely by E. J. Dicker-
son. IIo denied that ho had been pressed
by tha bank for the money due from the
firm. Mr. Harl made an unsuccessful effort
to get the witness to admit that ho had no
tice of the meeting of the stockholders of
the bank In May , 1892. Mr. Dlckcrson was
quite positive he had not attended a meeting
that year nnd did not remember that ho had
received a notice of the meeting. Ho was"
in Missouri during most of the month of
May , and then returned to Missouri In
Juno and stayed away until In October. Ho
then went to Chicago and then returned to
Atlantic and made another trip to Missouri
and returned to Atlantic some time In De
cember.
Mr. Dlckerson said that when Bank Ex
aminer Copeland visited the bank In No-
vombsr Mr. Yetzer sent for the witness , who
was at the court house , IIo did net know
for what purpose Yetzer wanted him , unless
It was In connection with the proposed sur
render of the bank's charter as a state con
cern ,

Judge Smith has Issued a restraining order
preventing the EAC ! ot the Duncan shoo stock ,
which was o have taken place yesterday.
The order was Issued upon the application
of the Citizens' State bank. In a petition
filed In the cue the bank recited the giving
of a chapel mortgage to the bank by B.
M. Duncan for $2,000. On the same day , and
prior to the recording of the mortgage , nn-
ether mortgnRC had been given by Dunc.in
to Joseph Farrcll for J9.000. Farrell took
possession nnd advertised the stock for sale.
The matter will now bo transferred to the
district court. Additional attachments were
Issued against the Duncan stock yesterday
by John Stoortmnn for $105. Mllford Shoo
company for J75.60 and by George E. Keith
for $378.05.
The Iowa Deposit nnd Loan company has
commenced suit In foreclosure against four
lots In the town ot Mlnden on a mortgage
for $813.14 , given by Charles A. Altmnn-
spcrger.
The grand Jury completed Its labors yester
day afternoon and was dlrcharged for the
term. Seven Indictments wcro returned
against C. A. Altmanppcrgcr , the defaulting
manager of the Slefcrt & Wlese Lumber
company at Mlndon. an account of whose
peculations has been published. While
Altmansperger's shortage will reach nearly
$40,000 , the Indictments returned cover
forgeries nggrcfiatlng but $2,000.
All of the Indictments ore found on the
same kind of transactions , the forging of
fanners' names to notes made payable to the
lumber firm for which Altmansperger war
manager nt Mlnden. The notes covered n
period from June , 1891 , to February , 189j.
The victims of Altmanspcrgcr's educated pen
named In the Indictments wcro : Jurgen
Sager , $85.70 ; Peter Larger , $74.35 ; John
Wolff , 123.40 ; L. Mlschler , $149.35 ; Fritz
Schooling. $9G3.C3 ; Calvin Mailer , $111.10. It
was these amounts , with many others , that
Altmansperger had received In cash from thc-
furmcrs and placed the money to his own
use and signed the names of the farmers to
the notes made payable to the lumber com
pany. Upon the return of the Indictment ?
bcr.ch warrants were Issued for Altmanspor-
ger. Ho Is still In the Avoca Jail , and will
remain there until his employers ascertain
the extent of his embezzlements and fraud
ulent accounting. Ho IMS shown a disposi
tion , slnco his arrest , to aid the firm In get
ting the accounts straightened out. His
bond was placed by Judge Smith at $1,000 In
each case.
When Altmansperger was arrested he re
fused to reveal the combination of the safe In
his ofllco. His employers finally hired n
blacksmith to do a'little authorized burglar
izing , and the cash box was secured. II
contained $210 In cash. The opening of the
safe also revealed another scheme ot Alt-
rr.&nsporger that must have proved profit
able. He did a big Insurance business , and
most of his patrons left their policies with
Altmansperger for safe keeping. When the
safe was opened none of the policies were
found , and Altmansperger did not offer any
light on the subejct. It Is now supposed that
he pocketed the premiums , and that the par
ties who supposed they had their property
hi MI red now find that they were simply con
tributing to the large fund that Charlie Alt- *
mansperger .found necessary for his style cf
living.

A dash of snow , a' suggestion of winter ,
was all that was requlre'd to awaken Coun
cil Bluffs society to a realization of the fact
that the social wason was rapidly passing
with but Ilttlo effort being made to take
advantage of It. The Illtlo shift of snow
paved the way for many social events and
society aroused Itself from the lontj lethargy
Into which It has fallen e'.nco the holidays.
There were events of all degrees of Impor
tance during the week , but perhaps none u >
elaborate and extensive and attended by
such an nrmy of people na the Mctcalf ru-
ceptlon with Its 700 guests. As a general
thing the society of any city resolves Itwlf
Into many different coteries , but occasionally
HJIIIO largo reception calls them all together.
TlUs was especially manifested Friday even
ing , when Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Mctcalt and
Mr. and Mrs. Drayton W. Uushnoil threw
open the elegant homo of the Metcnlfs for
the first time.
The cilor pjheme wao pink and white and
the guiding hand in the arrangement must
have been an artistic ono of no moan ability.
As soon as you pan < eJ Into the hall n scene
of enchantment met the eye. The fragrarice
of rows nnd carnations , the glow of dusky
Oriental , draperies , tha sheen of palms nnd
ferns that filled the vcstlbulo and wound up
the quaint catved uUlrway nnd were banked
to the celling In all the ntcovcD , gave , one
the glimpse of what seemed to bo veritable
fairyland.
The gucatsi were tnettnt the dc < or by Harry
Van Brunt and Hey DeVol acting as pigeh' .
After divesting themEo'ves of their wraps
on the upper floor w-lth the assistance ot
Alma and Jossla Pontius , Maud and Ruby
Bryant , they were ushered Into the parlor ?
by Delia Metcalf , wbo was like a little fairy ,
gowned In a pink taffeta silk with valen-
clenncs lace overdress. Hero they were re

largo bunch of red Camellia , Japonlcas. Mrs.
Metcalf was regal In n yellow silk with black
chiffon overdress , Greek Jet trimmings , dia
monds. Miss Collins looked glrlluh In a
whlto silk and carried La Franco royas. Tile
decorations of the parlors and library were
superb. It feemcd as If all the greenhouses
of Omahu and Council Bluffs had bean robbed
to make this ono night beautiful. With the
sift rose glow of 'the many llghta nnd the
bewildering profusion i of roses , It should
really have been -callod n rose reception.
The mantels were banked to the celling
with the rarest La' France rose ? , ferns and
palms. The dining room was a glitter of
silver and cut glabs. In the center of the
refreshment table waa great mound of roses
and'ferns. flankcd 'on either side' wlt'h large
silver candelabrum' with pink wax candles
and festooned with ropes of smllax , caught in
place with Camellia Japonlcas. And hereby
hangs a tale. Tht'soi rare camellias weroi a
frlandshlp gift from aunny clime.ent to
Mrs. Bushnell by' Mrs. Jackson and Miss
Hlce. "
The coffee table 'Vas' ' presided over In the

MAMIE LANK.
"A year ago last March Mamie had scar
let fever , which left her with a bad cough
and wheezing. The doctor culled It bron
chitis. She coughed terribly , with par
oxysms of iithma frightful to see. The doc
tors did their best , but she went down until
she got so low In strength nnd so emaciated
that she seemed more dead than alive. All
the while the was racked by that awful
tough and was fighting for breath against
the asthma. One day a lady who -had been
a patient of Drs. Copclnnd and Shcpard ad
vised us to take the child to them. We
did so , and a change took place right off ,
which kept on till Mamie was entirely re
stored , if any ono wishes to know further
particulars they may bu had by calling on

be safe nnd rklllful with very sick children. "
