Justice Cook yesterday rendered a de
cision In a wood chopping case that has
been In court for several days. L. Jones
and others brought lull against F. Chrls-
tlanson to recover the value of a number
of cords of wood which It was claimed that
he sold and had neglected to make full re
turns according to an agreement between
the parties. Jones and hUi companions had
engaged to cut a lot nt wood on the lands
of W. A. Mynpter , and were to give Mynster
one-half of all wood cut. Christiansen was
employed by the choppers to haul thei wood
to market. The agreement was continued
until Mynstor discovered that he was get
ting no return ? , and that the choppers were
clearing away the brush and piling up his
share of the wood In cord piles. The chop
pers laid the blame upon the hauler , and
finally brought suit against him for the value
of all the wood hauled. The evidence
showed- that Christiansen had settled with
the choppers and had paid them all but
$1.20 , and that they had forgotten to set
tle with the landlord. The court gave Jones
a Judgment for the amount named and
divided the costs between the litigants.

Nearly the cntlrJs clay -was consumcil In
tlio nickerscn case yesterday In themgument
of a law point as to whether the Otcnwood
trial of tlio defendant constltiitcs a bar to
tlic present proceeding.
Wliun the ease \/na flrat wiled tor trial
the defense cffercd a dommrer to the Indict
ment on the ground that It was practically
the name as the one under \\filch Mr. Dlcker-
pen was tried and acquitted at Glenwood last
June. The argument of the matter was
deferred fium time to lime , and was only
taken up yesterday after the close of the
ntalo's case and the examination by belli
the dcftiu-c and the state of the defendant ,
Isaac Dlckerson. Judge Smith expressed n
willingness to hear arguments on the claim
of the defense , and the work was commenced
yesterday morning.
Colonel Dalley opened the argument for
the defense. He took the position that the
Glenwood trial was r bar to the present
prosecution for two reasons , that this trial
would be a violation of the constitutional
provision that a citizen should not beplaceJ
In jeopardy twice for the tumo offense , an *
tor the further reason tint the Glenwoort
trial wns a complete- adjudication of tht
case , and that the verdict of acquittal was
a verdict on all of the material points
charged In the Indictment.
Colonel Mcl'herdon took upthe second fea
ture of the defense and argued It at some
length to the court. C. M. Harl made a
lengthy argument for the state , and both
sides cited a large number of authorities
bearing on the case.
niCKEHSON'S SONS TESTIFY.
It was 5 o'clock when the argument of the
law proposition was concluded and then the
examination of witnesses was continued. E.
J. Dlckerson was called and directly contra
dicted the evidence of two of the state's wit
nesses. P. n. Wllbcrn , the man who sold
the hogs and got a balance of $40 In a deal
with Isaac and E. J. Dlckerson , swore for
the state that he was 1 the olllco of I. &
E. J. Dlckerson on October 28 , 1893 , and that
Isaac Dlckerson told E. J. DIckereon not to
write a check on the Cass County bank that
day , as the bank was In hard lines. Wllbern
waa positive of the date and could not be
mistaken. When the defense was called
Isaac Dlckerson testified that he was In
Chicago on that date and another witness
testified that he saw Isaac Dlckerson In Chicago
cage on that date. E. J. DIckcrson testi
fied that both ho and his father were In Chicago
cage that day and he gave a number of
facts that served to call his attention and fix
his memory as to the exact date. One of
the Incidents was the assassination of Carter
Harrison , which occurred while the witness
and his father were In Chicago.
P. S. Crawford , an Atlantic newspaper
man , testified for the state that ho called on
Isaac Dlckerson on the morning after' the
bank failed and Isaac Dlckerson told him
that he had known all along that the bank
was In hard lines , and that he had been In
favor of closing the doors of the Institution
six months before the dateof tlio failure.
E. J. Dlckerson testified that he was In the
office and sat within a few feet of his father's
desk when Crawford called and talked about
the failure of the bank. Ho heard all of
the conversation and repeated n good deal
of It. He denied that his father had said
to Crawford that the bank had been hard
pushed for some time and that he had urg J
the closing of It some months before.
A. W. Dlckerson , the cashier of the broken
tank , was called to the witness stand. He
testified that ha had heard the testimony
of J , C. Yetzer. He said that no such meet
ing was over held as the one In which Yet-
zer said that the witness and Isaac Dlckerson
and Yetzer talked over the proposed sur
render of the bank's charter and that A. W.
Dlckerson had said that his father could vott
the Cooper stock and that he would fix the
publication of the notice In the newspapers.
He denied emphatically that Yetzer's evi
dence on these points contained one lota of
truth.
truth.THAT
THAT NOTICE OP DISSOLUTION.
The wltneaj also explained the notice of
dissolution of tko corporation of the bank
as a state Institution which was prepared
for the state- auditor on November 16 , 1892.
He said he had prepared that notice him
self and had submitted It to Yotzer and the
state bank examiner , Mr. Copeland , but had
not shown It to his father. Ho said that the
day Copeland was at Atlantic his father
and Yetzer came Into the bank together.
Hla father remained but a few minutes and
went , out. Yetzer went out a little later
and Copeland went away for lunch , and
came back eomo time before 1 o'clock. The
witness said that ho had written the notice
during the absence of the bank examiner
and sliotved It to him when ho returned.
Mr. Copehnd approved the notice , and then
the witness showed It to Yetzer , who also
approved It.
The cross-examination by Mr , Harl did not
produce any change In the evidence , and
with the completion of A. W. Dlckerson'ti
testimony an adjournment was taken until
today.

IInvi.Some Connection with It.
Railway reporters and prognostlcators , who
have been very much at sea since the sale
of the Omaha & St. Louis road on Monday ,
were permitted to have a new turn given
to their speculations yesterday by- the re
port that there was a very probable and
palpable connection between the projected
enterprise of the Iowa Construction company
and the Wabash system , provided several
"Ifs" could be satisfactorily dealt with. The
first and Important ono was that If the sale
of Monday 'was ' not In the- Interest of the
Wabash that system would ba dependent
only upon whatever kind of traffic arrange
ments It could make with other lines for Ita
Missouri river outlet. Naturally then If
the opportunity was presented for getting
an outlet of Its own by building a I'hort con-
nectlng line It would bo seized with avidity ,
The Indian creek line would give Just this
kind of a chance. The line could be constructed -
structed running straight eastward until It
connected with the Wabash Short line run
ning north and south through Hermlon , sixty
miles east of Council Bluffs. Tha grade ,
with the exception of the costly Improvements -
ments demanded along Indian creek. Inside-
of the city limits , would he along the mem
uniformly level line possible , straight and
In 'every way tniperlor to the artificial levels
made by any of the > other trunk lines reachIng -
Ing the city from the east.
The subject was suggested to John W.
I'aul with the usual results. He keeps
right on tawing wood , knows nothing and
says nothing , beyond giving a qulslcal smile
to the Inane expression that habitually lurks
beneath his blonde moustache.
Too MruiVlwft nt Once.
Dr. Nusum , a former physician of Cres
cent , has been arrested In Harrison county
on the charge of bigamy. The doctor se
cured a divorce from one of his wives a year
ago , and almost Immediately after the separa
tion married a young woman named Polsom
In Hazel Dell township. The honeymoon was
hardly ever when the young wife left her
husband and returned to thu parental roof ,
A little tiling like that did not disturb the
doctor , and without waiting for the formality
of a separation by the courts ho wooed and
won a Harrison county wife. Ho was mar
ried to the Harrison county woman last
Tuesday , and three days after was arrested
on a charge of bigamy , preferred by hU
wife , who lives In this county. He was
placet ! under ball In the earn of 11,000 to ap
pear for trial at the next term of the- district

L'tiplpnnntit Mcttinrlrn Linger In the
Mliiiln of Council llliilT * Women.
ThereIs a great deal of Indignation among
a large numbar of women In Council Bluffs
on account of an unpleasant discovery that
was made within the last few days. A week
or more ago a tall and angular creature be
gun an active canvass In the city for the
purpose of Introducing a new and what was
said to be a popular corset. The solicitor
was supposed to be a woman of uncertalr
age. She was stylishly dressed , of good
presence and proved to be a very successful
ouivassur. She represented herself to be the
Inventor of the article she was selling , and
also to be Interested In Its manufacture In
Chicago. No question was raised until ono
sharp-eyed woman happened to notice that
the canvasser wore a heavy seal ring on
the little finger of the right hand. She
thought It odd that a woman should wear
a ring on that finger and also that It ehould
bs a great big man's ring. This and some
other things aroused suspicions that the
canvasser might not ho Just what many
ether uonien had been led to suppoM. So
the woman resorted to the little trick that
gat Tom Sawyer Into trouble. The canvasser
was sitting In a low rocking chair with her
knees spread wide apart. The woman picked
up the corset , rolled It up In a neat , firm
package , and stepping around In front of
the canvasser toraed It Into her lap. The
knees came together like a steel trap. This
was sufficient. The matron of the- house
knew that women do not make that sort
of a movement when they wish to catch
things tossed Into their laps , and she e-'nowed
the canvasser the door. She Informed her
husbind cf the occurrence when he returned
In the evening and he acquainted the police
with the facts. Additional facts were- ascer
tained that UK no doubt but that the can
vasser was a man dremed In wonnn's clothes.
The police were hunting for him all day yes
terday , but were unable to find him. The
latest Information -obtained was that ho had
geneto Omaha , still wearing- neatly fitting
and modestly appearing feminine attire.

Tinner Workliipr oil ti Cinxolliic Can
Crcntfx u Violent DlNttirtmncc.
A booming roar , like a discharge of ar
tillery , followed by a violent shock , attracted
a crowd to the vicinity of II. Grahl & Son's
cornice works on Broadway yesterday. When
the crowd rushed In they found the rem
nants of what had bosn a large galvanized
gasoline tank scattered around the place
and one of the workmen standing near by
dazed , and hls > hair and beard showing un-
mlftakable signs of having come Into close
contact with the names. The tank , which
was designed to hold several barrels of gaso
line , had been brought Into the shop for the
purpose of having a leak repaired. It was
supposed to be empty , and was consequently
not handled very carefully. The leak was
near the bottom , and as the outside of the
tank was covered with Ice It was placed on r.
trestle near the big stove to thaw out. It
had been there for some time before the
workman got ready to solder up the leak.
The first touch of the hot soldering Iron to
the little hole Ignited the gas that had evi
dently accumulated Inside from the- evapora
tion of a small quantity of the fluid that
remained. The explosion that followed was
very violent. The whole top of the can
was blown off , and a mass of flame shot
upward to the roof of the building , while
the bottom and sides of the tank were torn
and twisted In every shap ? . The force of the
explosion was upward , and the workman
was kneeling down with his face about on a
line with the bottom of the can. It'was
owing to this position that he escaped serious
Injury , the sheet of ( lame and the llylns
metal going 'over his head. His face waa
slightly reddened and his hair and whiskers
singed. No damage was done to the- build
ing.

IloiKlH Still Without Owner * .
Pottawattamle's $70,000 funding bonds have
not been fully disposed of yet. At the lost
meeting of the Board of Supervisors the
sale of the bonds by the county auditor and
the county treasurer was ratified 'by ' the bparfi
and Roberts & Co. of New York were re
quired to accept the bonds within fifteen
days , subject to the decision of Judge Dil
lon of New York as to their legality. The
decision was favorable , and the agent of
the purchasers has filed the acceptance of
the bonds , but has tacked on -proviso b )
which the signature of Chairman Kerney of
the board la required to the bonds. Such
a requirement was not expected by the board ,
and Mr. Kerney has not been given Instruc
tions or authority to fix his name to the
debentures. So the matter of the sale Is
hung up again. _

The water works question was about the
only topic of conversation In the city yes-
tcrday. It was a great surprise to the com
munity at large that the ordinance looking to
n reduction nf tolls was not passed. A num
ber of business men would like to see a re
duction of water rates and are not backward
In saying so. The proposed meeting of taxpayers -
payers , which It Is expected will bo held
Thursday evening , will give some of them
a chance to voice their yantlments.

The Young Men's Institute Is a little over
$1,000 In debt and It Is possible that the or
ganization will disband. When It was pro
posed to purchase the building now occupied
by the young men on Twenty-fourth rtroet ,
near O street , business men In the city sub
scribed $2,015. The total expenditures on the
building amounted to $3,002. A lean of $1,000
was made by one of the banks and nine gen
tlemen Interested In the enterprise went se
curity. It now looks as If these gentlemet
would have to pay the note besides paying
some other bills. During the past year the
Institute gave several entertainments and
on every one money was lost. Many of the
young men who were members moved away
from the city during the year. Others he-
came discouraged and dropped out and now
the few business men who stood good for the
dobta and put up the money are left In the
lurch. Just what will bo done has not been
decided , but some way may be found to hold
the organization together.
