Tl)0 ) law rccoids of the state of Iowa have been cleared of tlio cs.be of Henry ngalnst Evans , which has been pending In the va rious courts , ot the state for sixteen years , and Captain H. L. Henry , the plaintiff , quits the game with his orlgnal Investment , with an opportunity to donate something hand some to the cost column o'f the courts. Captain Henry was a long time ago the owner of some stock in a corporation which was engaged In the cattle business. His stock was held and operated by > viltam ! and Frank Evans. "Back in " 1880 , or a little pr.'or thereto , the stock of the company was sold to a Boston firm or syndicate and Cap tain Henry's shore of the proceeds was ? Io- 000. Ho did not take the money out of the deal , but claims ho left It with { he Evans representatives to be reinvested In a new enterprise , the brlnclnc of Oreeon cattle across the range and fatten'ng them on this side the mountains. This deal proved very proftUblo and in 1880 Captain Henry asked for a show on his Investment. 'Then ho learned , or at loist the Evans' claim was , that the Henry money had neve'r been In vested and that the captain had no share In the new venture , but could have .his original Investment of $10,000 at any time ho wanted It. Captain Henry had been In the game long enough to feel an Interest In the profits and brought suit for an accounting and his share of the profits. The case was tried in this city before Judge Deemer , who held that there had been a partnership which had ended at a certain time , and he ap pointed Hon. L. W. Rosa as referee to as certain the amount of the profits at the time that Captain Henry's partnership in the company ceased. Referee Ross took testimony and made a report that Just at the time the partnership ceased the com pany had not made any money , and he rec ommended that the captain get his original $1G,000 back and that each side pay half the costs of the case. Captain Henry appealed from the finding of the referee and the su preme court sustained , the finding of the referee. In its decision the supreme court stated that the court had spent all the tlme < on the case It could afford to and that the lower court had allowed the plaintiff Interest on bis money Invested. Such was not tbo rul ing ot the lower court and a motion was made to Imvo the supreme court reopen the case. In the , motion for a rehearing the at torneys for Captain Henry urged that the supreme court should spend all the time necessary to decide the case on Its merits , and also set up the fact that the lower court had not allowed interest on tbo original Investment by Henry. The supreme court , lion over , refused to grant a rehearing , and Captain Henry has hip $16,000 , which has not earned a cent of Interest for sixteen years and which will bo reduced by a bill of costs to the amount ot several thousand dollars. _ Athletlo Caiitvulii , 131 Puna , Tex.

TIRED OF BEING POCKETED first Stro t Property Ownora Want Access to Their Homes , FOSTER TRACT OUTLET NOT AVAILABLE I.KIfvntlon Tie * lip One Proiioncil Struct mill the ItcMlilcntN Uc- imiiiil Atiollior CHJU- HUM Ilrcii I-'lrc Tno Yunrn. City Engineer Etnyre Is going up to thp end of North First street this morning , 2nd if ho escapes with his life hr will probably make a report to the council it 'Is next r.'oet- ing on seine plan for furnishing an outlet for the people who llvo In that pocketed thoroughfare , and llio council will be ex pected to take action at ancc or have troul lo on Its hands. North First street for oevs al years has ended In a pocket and the rciUentt who uvn or occupy property on the street north and cast ot Washington avnc : have been unable to get any final action from tha council that would furnish them any outlet. The street Is quite thickly settled , and with a class of people who , for the most rmrt , own their own homos. When the street w.ts opened It ex tended to the ground owned by W. H. Fos ter , the florlft , and It was s'ipporcd that tlicro would be no dtfllcultv In Dotting a street opened from the present to-minus of First street over to Harrison street , a d's- tanco of 3,000 feet , nut the hitch came when oteps were commenced to fit a street opened through the Foster tiac' , and for several years the residents of First street north of Washington avenue have had no communica tion with the outside world. When you get to the end ot First street iliero Is only one way to got out , and that U by First street , back to. Washington avenue. Two years ago the city council passed a resolution to commence condemnation pro ceedings through the ground owned by W. II. Foster , the florist , a distance of 3,000 feet to connect with Harrison street. Just at that time Mr. Foster disappeared. A foreclosure suit had been commenced on a mortgage covering the tract Jhrough which It was pro posed to open the street , as well as the Fos ter homestead and greenhouses. The decree was made In September , 1894 , and just before the tlmo for redemption had pafsed Mrs. W. H. Foster filed a petition In the district court enjoining the making ot a de < nl under the foreclosure. In hur petition Mra Foster alleged that she had never signed toe mort gage , that she had always refused to sign a mortgage on her homestead , nnd that if the had signed the mortgage , she had been In sane at the time. She also eet up the dcfeufcc that she had no knowledge or proof that her husband was dead , and that proper service had not been secured upon him In the fore closure proceedings. The petition complicity. ! matters considerably , and the holders ot the mortgage have refused since that t'.iro to make a deed to the property , but'will only make a contract agreeing tfi make a def.d when the title Is finally quieted. Mra. Fos ter's petition was dismissed on account ef her absjnce when the case was eUlpd for trial , without prejudice , and it Is under stood now that it will be again filed in the court , and as a result the matter will be tied up by additional litigation. All this tlmo the residents of North First street have been living In a pocket , and they want to get out. With the approach of elec tion all of the candidates have been put to test en the question , and as a result the city engineer has been Instructed to ECB if an outlet cannot bo provided that will connect First street with Harrison street without ref erence to the Foster property. The plan now oeems to bo to open a street on the south of the Foster property , through the Miller property. This will answer the purpose If the outlet Is found accessible and the property owners interested feel that there is now some prospect of finding the way they long have sought. IltlNG IN ALL THE ! CIIA11GES. Supreme Court PIIMHI-S on n AVcll Worn IjOCT.l CltlC. The case of Oberholzer against Hazen has been decided by the S&preme court , and thus ends a litigation over a cigar stock that has been fought through all the courts of the dis trict and state during the last four yeara C. M. Oborholzer was In the cigar busi ness on South Main street and made a losing venture of the enterprise. During the time he ran the place his father , H. H. Oberholzer , advanced him money to the sum of $7,900 , xnd finally took possession of the place on thp foreclosure of a chattel mortgage and com menced to close out the stock. Klnports & Co. of Ephrat , Pa. , commenced garnishment proceedings against H. H. Oberholzcr In the district court on a claim of $1,500 and brought a suit In equity asking an Injunction restrain ing Oberholzer from disposing of the stock and making application for the appointment of a receiver. Oberholzer succeeded In get ting the Injunction dissolved and the ap plication for a receiver denied. The at torneys for the Klnports then commenced action and filed an amended petition and levied directly on the stock , which was taken possession of by Sheriff Hazen. Oberholzer then brought action against Sberlft Hazen for the value of the stock , and secured Judgment for $2,600 , which , with interest , now amounts to $3.500. This was appealed by the Kin- ports , and the supreme court ( surtalned the finding of the lower court , and rendered judgment on the appeal bcrnd. Then the attorneys for Hazen and the Klnports asked for and secured an order from the district court restraining the col lection of the Judgment ordered by the su preme court , and Oberholzer's attorneys wont to the supreme court with a motion to dis solve the Injunction of the district court. Hazen appealed again and filed a motion for a rehearing In the supreme court. Obor holzer came back with a resistance ani charged that the action of Hazen's attorneys was for the purpose ot delay , and asked a Judgment of 15 per cent additional on the original Judgment. The supreme court pasted on the matter yesterday , and dectdol the case In Oberholzer's favor. HAUHY HAMILTON , CONFIDENCE MAN Onc More ViuU-r Arrent on nn Old Knmlliur ClmrKc. < Harry Hamilton , the veteran confidence ' man , who has served a term or two 'in 'the penitentiary after numerous convictions for obtaining money under false pretenses , and almost exclusively by tbo expreaj package racket , was picked up by the police yester day. Ho was entertaining most happily a comfortable Jag , but this was not the reason for his arrest. A telephone communication from Omaha asked for his arrest upon the suspicion that he was the gentleman who bad worked a successful confidence game upon a Nebraokan of German iblrth , with the English name of Damme , and relieved the farmer of $11. Hamilton was locked up with the charge ot being a fugitive from Justice placed against him. The plucked German was brought over tliu river by an Omaha officer , and permitted to have a good look at Hamilton. He was unable to identify him as the stranger to whom he had so willingly loaned $11 , and Harry was too drunk to be of much assistance. The fact that Hamilton was found In an In toxicated condition Is presumptive proof that be had made , a raise somewhere during the forenoon , and the Nebraskan might have been the victim. The first charge placed against him on the books was changed to simple drunk , and he will have an inter view with Judge McQee this morning. Snlvutlon A mix Debt Knlueil.

John W , Owens , whose accomplishments as a blgimlst were set fourth In a telegram to The Ilco from Jefferson , la. , yesterday mornIng - Ing had some Interesting matrimonial ex periences In Council Bluffs and vicinity , Owens was ono of thosa exquisitely organ ized young men , who are particularly sus ceptible to female charmn. His admiration for every woman he met quickly grew Into a stronger passion , nnd an offer of marriage generally followed the sjcond meeting. His marriage to Miss Maud Hanck was the result of many propoiulo and earnest pro testations of eternal fidelity. The young lady , who , like hlmrclf , was a school teacher , was shocked at the precipitancy with which a declaration of love followed the first Intro duction to each other. Mies Hanck was liv ing with her father , a substantial furmcr , living several mlloa cast of Council Bluffs , and when Owens' attention to their daugh ter became annoying they sent her to Council Bluffs to make her home with her uncle , S. H. Filbert. For a time Owens forgot all about her and made ardent love to all other farmers' daughters with whom he came In contact. U Is said that he was engaged to half a dozen while he nas telch- Ing the uchcol district near Pony creek. He occasionally met Miss Hanck In the city end spent all of his time when In her pres ence hotly courting her. The young woman finally came to believe In him and looked with favor upon his suit. Her parents and friends were vlolsntly opposed to the match and used all their efforts to prevent It , but were unsuccessful. To prevent an elopement they permitted the marriage to take place at the country home. The ceremony was performed early In the evening , and before 9 o'clock Owens had disappeared. He went to the barn and wrote a strangely worded note to his bride of an hour , telling her that there exlttcd serious and Insurmount able obstacles In the way that would pre vent him living with her , and that he left her for her own good , and had cnly come to his senses when the nuptial knot had been tied. The girl was heartbroken , but the pater fimllas was righteously tndlgnint. He went after Owens with a gun , but un- fcrtunately , was unable to find him. After the elapse of several weeks Owens returned and told a story of mental aber ration that followed his marriage that left all a blank until he suddenly came to him self. Ho was very penitent , and a recon ciliation was effected. Shortly afterwards Owens left the nelghborhocd , taking his wife with him. The fact that he has a charge of horse stealing hanging over him , basldes the reputation of having three cr four other wives , makes his position at present very embarrassing. lint DcA Sunn.

( Special Telegram. ) There Is every Indication that the legisla ture will change the method of drawing Juries In the state In a very Important respect. Two yturs ago a law was passed providing that Jurors should bo drawn from the tctal number of voters In the county.

H ID proposed , however , that a Xrger num ber of names shall bo reported to the county clerk , from which to draw Jury lirts , than was required under the old law. WILL GIVE THE aUACICS TIIOIJIILE.
