At present tho unloading Is performed for the shipper and he Is supposed to pay for the service when he pays freight, but this charge must b adjusted between the shipper and the railroad. The stock yards company alleges that It dees not carry freight, but merely shunts and lifts cars for the railroads, and that It unlcada live stock for tbe rail roads. That the n't Iter Is taken serously by the Live Stock excharge Is shown by the fact that that organisation haa applied for and received permission from the supreme court to file briefs In the case.

Strode of Lincoln The case, accord ing to the attorneys of Mr. Watson, hinges on an affidavit which It Is Charged con tained a forged signature. The defense denies that Watson obtained any such an affidavit, and If he did he did not use It to deceive the court and that Intent la not sufficient.' but that an attempt to use It must be proven. It is aaid an affidavit that contained no signature was drawn up but waa destroyed before any attempt was made to use It. Judge Hayward of Ne braska City, who prosecuted the case In the district court, appeared In the supreme court In support of the judgment. The disbarment case of Allen G. Fisher of Chadron will not be passed upon at this sitting of the court because the parties de sire to file briefs. Deputy Attorney General Will B. Rose appeared for the state In the case of Shold. administrator, against Van Treeck to ask the court to cancel a decree of fore closure on mortgages and notes which were owned by an alien and whose estate the state alleges should escheat to the state. It la charged by the state that the admin istrator consented to a Judgment in aa amount less than the notes and mortgages were worth, so that the state was barred from any Interest. It Is also charged that the Judgment Is void because Judge West over, who entered It. did so at a hotel In stead of at the court house, as provided by law.
