FARM DEAL LANDS IN COURT Eeirfl of Founder of Dun' 8 Aeency Sue Loral Btal EUt Hen. INSIST PRICE PAID WAS INADEQUATE Defendants Dear the Charge aad File a Cross BUI for Damastea to Repu tation Which la Pot at Forty Thoosaoa Dollars. The trtsl of the suit of Benjamin Doug las. ,1r., for himself and the other heirs nf the late Benjamin Douglas, sr., founder of Dun's Mercantile agency, against F. C. and E. II Louge of this city, wae begun yesterday In the district tourt be fore Judge Wheeler. The plaintiff asserts that the defendants, who until recently were In partnership under the Ann name of Lougee & Lougee. after having acted and wlrile acting as agents for Benjamin Douglas, sr . and the plaintiff In the handling of about 2.600 acres of valuable land In Pottawattamie, Harrison. Shelby and Mills counties, pur chased the Interests of the plaintiff and other heirs of Benjamin Douglas, sr., nt a price far below Its actual altie; It Is alleged that the defendants represented that the land was worth only about $26 to $30 an acre, when in fact. It was worth considerably more and was subsequently resold by the defendants for $40,000 more than they paid for It to the Douglas heirs. The transaction complained of took place in the latter part of 1887, when Lougee A Lougee bought a five-sevenths Interest in the land from the holrs of Benjamin Douglas, sr., the other two-sevenths being purchased by Day A Hess, also of this city. Considerable litigation ensued before the title of the purchasers was estab lished. In his petition tha plaintiff as serts that Lougee A Lougee did not act In good faith In the transaction Inasmuch as they had been handling the land for a long period for Benjamin Douglas, sr., and hla heirs and were consequently thoroughly conversant with Its actual value and knew that Its value was far in excess of the price stated by them to the owners, who. It Is alleged, were not conversant with property values In this seotlon of the country. Lougee A Lougee responded by filing a counter claim for $40,000 damages for the alleged malicious commencement of the action for $7,500, which It waa as serted the plaintiff had wrongfully con verted to his own use out of the proceeds of the sale of land In Santa Barbara, Cal., belonging to. tbe estate of his father and which it waa asserted should have been paid over to them In satisfaction of a Hen of $20,000 which they assumed when purchasing the Interest of the heirs In the Iowa land. Tha defendants denied that the allegations contained in the plaintiff's petition were true and that they have correspondence to show that they are not ao. They also deny that they were at any time agents for Benjamin Douglas, Jr., or any of tha other heirs. The counter claim for $40,000 damages for defamation of character was soma time ago stricken from the suit on a de murrer filed by the plaintiff and sustained by the court. The hearing, owing to the mass of cor respondence which will be Introduced by the defense, la expected to last several daya.

IxmiIs Jensen, who essayed to run a ss loon at Cut-off lake without gning through the formality of securing a prrmTt from the city authorities or securing any license but that Issued by the government, has discovered that It was an exceedingly costiy thing to do. Jensen was arrested after he had been operating his saloon for about three months and his stork of liquors was seised and brought to, this city by Con stable Baker nf Justice Gardiner's court under a search warrant. He waa also In dicted by the grand Jury on the chaise of conducting a saloon contrary to law. In district court yesterdsy .Jensen en tered a plea of not guilty to the Indictment and was fined 1:00 and costs. In order to square himself with the county and city authorities Jensen had since his arrest paid the mulct tax and city license for seven months from October 1 last, and County Attorney Hess figured yesterday that in all Jensen had been obliged to pay about $!00 to square matters. On payment ot the mulct tax and city license Jensen was given back ilia atvik of liquors and the city council recently granted him a permit to conduct hla saloon at Cul-03.

The bill originating In the senate, which prohibited all klnda of amusements, Including base ball, passed the senate and was messaged to the house but recalled before It had been acted en and then died a natural death In the committee to which It was referred.
