ALL ON ACCOUNT OF HAII The State Journal company was sued in the United States court yesterday for $75,000 damages by the Jawmes 1. Hair Hotel Register company of Chicago. The plaintifi alleges that the patent for an advertising hotel register was taken ont in 1867 by Chavles L. I and that in 1881 Jamies T Hair purchased all rights 10 manufacture and gellunder this patent in_ Nebraska plorado, Dakota, Wyo- ming, Mo .

As the United S it court for the northern v York has three times v of the Hawes patent, attorney for the Hair any, feels very ent that he has the big end of the ¢: and will merely be compelled to show when, how and to what extent the rights of his clients have been infringed.

The jury in the action Sf Samuel W. Lyttle vs The City of Lincoln, involving of Fifteenth street be- Tween O and P, returned afspecial verdict yesterday, finding on all the main points forthe piaintiff. "I'he verdiet recites that the property in dispute was patented by tho United States n 1803 to one Trwin and _that the latter platted it, ot the plat was never recognized. In 1871 and 1873, the taxes for 1867-68-69 being delinquent, the land was sold by the eity and bought by Nelson C. Brock, who afterward trans- ferred it to Liyttle. The latter then plat ted it and the city, by resolution of the council, July 11, 1881, adopted and con- firmed the plat. In this vlat Lyttle allowed an alley of twenty feet about in the center of the present street, and he was never disturbed in possession until long aft s, when, having put down a sidew the tront; on O street, the city tore it up and insisted on holding a 100 foot strect o{n-n, The ot gives Lyttle a rental of #1 1881, and leaves the question of sion and validity of title to be de- ermined by the court, on argument by counse iylns attorreys for the city will claim that Lyttle’s ten years of possession under the tax deeds is not suflicient, and that the municipal recognition of Lyttle's plat was an oversight. PUSHING THE NORTHWESTE! A managing official of the Nor ern railway, who was in Lincoln yester- day looking after rght of way matters, says everything is in readiness for begin- ning work on the extension from Fre- mont as soon as the weather will permit, and as the grading contractors are under bonds to be ready for tracklaying by June 1, they are naturally anxious to be up and doing. Most of the contractors havo already engaged their force of men, but are finding some difliculty in getting toams, the opening of spring work on the farms’ making mule and horse power , and a #ise in the pri to £3.75 n duy is the result. Raymond & Campbell, who are to build the bridge across the Platte, are getting the material on the ground and Y"“i" up quarters for the workmen, This bridge is to bo of the Howe truss pattern, and will be over half o mile long without the trestle ap- proaches. It will consist of forty-six pony spans of sixty feet each, resting on pile’ piers. The timber used will be mostly W nsin ok, with a sprinkling of cypress from Arkansus.
