THE STEWART-CHUTE CASE, \An Tmportant Buit on Trial in the Lan- caster District Court. DOINGS OF THE SUPREME BODY. The Lincola Council Rearranges the Wards to Conform to the Now City Charter—Capital Olty Happenings, [FROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] In district court yesterday afternoon one of the most important cases tried in the Lancaster court for some time was on the call, Judge Chapman presiding. The case was the one against Stewart & Chute, or the latter one of the two, the charge being embezzlement and cover- ing the grounds involved in the Stewart- Chute Lumber eompany, that rose and fell in a business way the past two years. This case is brought by the Chicago mem- bers of the firm who were instrumental in the search for and arrest of Stewart & Chute last summer and bringing them to the county jml on chargesof fraud, forgery and embezzlement, for which they were in jail for some time, nfter- ward being released on bail, under which they are now detained for trial. The history of this case and the long research on the part of the Chicago members of the firm and their agents into the man- ner of the business transactions at the Lincoln end of the line are too well known to need repetition at this time. A simple reference to the fact that the Chicago members claim the unearthing of great frauds is sufficient to show whence came the case. At the Novem- ber term of the district court 8 hearing on the forgery charge was heard against Stewart & Chute, which was not maintammed. Im- mediately !ollawiniihiu result Stewart & Chute, each through their attorneys, com- menced $50,000 suits against the Lllimzo company, which added to the complica- tions and made the Chicago members de- fendants as well as prosecutors, Yester- day ir: :}w altl:‘trlct coun‘l thlfi case agains| he Chicago arties, essrs. lfiuller Biodler & l-‘erEumn. and the South Branch Lumber company, was commenced by James A. Chute, tflo long petition reciting many of the facts here- tofore claimed and setting up that the Chic arties attempted to wreck the Lincoln firm; that the stock of the plain- iff wns taken and also a number of valu- mble lots owned by nim were also taken dn the crash of the break-up. Now Chute 8ues to recover these lots and to recover the value of the stock formerly held by h;nt:hnnd to rrg:‘tl)ge'rlzxs share in the value of the good wi e company wrecked by the fall. W. W, Andnmn,’ of Lou- isiana, Mo., is the attorney for Chute in this action. The case up for trial yester- day was prosecuted by ex-State's Attor- ney Luther L. Mills, of Chicago, and the renown of the ajtorneys in the case and the amount of interest involved in addi- tioa to the legal points inukes the case of far more than ordinary interest. A con- tinuation wes asked. Among the new cases in district court filed yesterday was that of Mrs. Arta Morgan against Oliver P. Dinges. Mrs. Morgan complains that up to February ehe was the owner of lot 2, in block 3i in the city of Lincoln; that she reside In Denver, where she had lived for years, r}d that within the last two months Dinges by his attorney sought her out and represented that her fitle to the lot was not good; that Dinges held s tax title upon it; that the lot was worth but a fow hundred dollars and rather than law ebout it would give $100 for her claim, Bhe states in her petition that see relied upon this representation and sold it, but since has learned that the lot is worth about 96,000, and comsequently asks to have the deed set aside. SUPREME COURT, Court met pursnant to adjournment, Hendrickson vs Benson; twenty days additional time given to file motion for rohearing. Wolf vs Murphy; dismissed. The following causes were continued: Prenm vs State. Burton vs State. The following causes were argued and submitted: Roberts vs an- agan; Clark vs Morgan; Gerver vs Ger- ver; motion to quas bill of exceptions and to dismiss, also for temporary ali- mony. Court aajourned to Wednesday, March 83, 1887, at 8:30 o'élock a. m. THE NEW CITY WARDS, At the meeting of the city council Mon- day evening the city, under and tocon- {Iorm to ,f:: n::’ charter d'lb'luui“d the ouse , was divi nto six wards. The boundaries of these wards are as follows: First Ward—All that part of the city lying north of N street and west of Elev- snth street, excep! from R street north. The eastern mdary of said ward shall be Twelfth street. - Second Ward—That part of the oit{ Jying south of N street extending to I street and ly‘l'? west of Eleventh street. hird Ward—That part of the eity lying north of O strest from the eastern undary of the First ward cast to Ly nd street. Fourth Ward—That part of the cif lying between O and ¥ ‘streets north an south, and between Eleventh and Twenty- sccond streets east and west, Fifth Ward—All that part of the city ing south of F strect and west of 'wenty-second street. Sixth Ward--All that part of the city H;Lrfi cast of Twanty-second street and of hird, Fourth and Fifth wards. ‘These new wards and boundaries will filve the politicians time to study up on he individual complexion of each and he candidates within the borders time to ay wires beforo election. A NEW LAW FIRM. In the course of the coming two moaths a new law firm will oven out in business in Lincoln, the members of which mro to be ex-Congressman A. J. Weaver, f Falls City, Judge Thomas, formerly of rownville, and an old residenter in utheastern Nebraska, and Mr: P. E. eardsly, for years court reporter in the first judicial district and at present oc- upving that position under Judge roady. Mr. Beardsly has, however, banded in his resignation, to take effect Bt once, and he is now actively anfillfid in the work of arrangements for the ad- vent of the new firm. The State Journal will say to-morrow morning thet it knew of this item all the time, but suppressed it for the good of the city. AROUT THE CITY. Nothing has occurred for some time in Lincoln to create as much interest as has the announcement of the purchase of aluable grounds adjoining the city b, rmour, of Chicago. A number of u& estate men are not pleased that the news waa published before the wires were laid y them for some large personal specu- ations, but news ceases to be news when withheld from the public. The situation in regard to Mr. Swift's western invest- ments in beef canning is nmgly that the point where such an institution will be established rests between Kansas City, Omahs lnd‘Lu:ooln. . e ng, @ store keeper - of Princeton, the -A':-" named Luta town county, were the trial, the judge, after hearing the e dence, taking the mstter under advise- ment. Alva Denore was arrested yeaterday and was awaiting trial at the noon hour the charge against him being prefer b’yl his wife and another companion, charging him with abusive and threaten- in# language and disturbiog the peace. The man arrested promised the officers to make it lively for the prosecution and the case promises some rich social devel- opments, Among the recent heayy deals in_Lin- coln it is averred that Gere and Hath- away have purchased nine carloads of barb wire which they will use in build- ing a fence to corral the city ftor their mutual uses and abuses. Being afraid to trust their own party and being not quite certain whether they own the town, this step has become a necessity. Yesterday sfternoon was the time set for hearing the charges against Officer Malone by the council committee on po- lice. Both sides of the controversy seemed willing to have the hearing take place and mutual developments were promised. Two kniihu from Myrtle Division K. of ., Umahs, were in Lincoln Monday evening on & business visit, the ob- ject of which was to secure the attendance of the Apollo vrize division of Lincoln at the grand K. of P. ball at the Exposition building, Omaha, on Tues- day evening mext. The visit of the sir knights was successful and the boys of 1lo will go to Omaha and show some of the handsomest drill work ever given in the west. They are a handsome Jot of men, The Electric Motor Rapid Transit com- ANy are moving in a business way and have asked the city council and the city councii have geanted their request for a vote of the people upon granting them a right of way franchise through the streets they wish to occupy. The move- ments of the Motor company have a de- cided business appearance. Among the Omaha citizens in Lincoln i’eumrdav were ngted the following: C. 1. Patten, F. M. PRlis, Geo, 8. Smi S. F. Orchard, J. B. Maxfield, T. B. Lemon, G. A, Myerson, W. E. Auninand J. W. Paddock. R. S. Norval and F. G. Simmons, of Seward, and C. O. Bates and O. H. Phillips, of B ice, were business visitors to the capital city yesterday. i g The King of the Lobby. Washington Correspondent Philadel- phia Times: The lobby has not been very successful here this winter; the chief manager for the great trans-continental railroads died suddenly and his place has not been filled. Indeed, we have never had anyone here who has legitimately succeeded the recognized king of the lobby, Sam Ward. He employed no vul- ar methods in securing the passage or in defeating a bill before congress. A Bohemian gentleman, he had studied the urt of dining until he had thoroughly mastered its intricacies and resources, nor would he after an exquisite dinner and delicate wines insulta political solon by the tender of a check and a request for his vote; but he would simply sit down with him to & quiet little game of poker and lose the money of his guest gracefully. What a pity that his life could not have been written, altbough its narratives would have dethorned many a politicial idol and shown gaping ad- mirers that public men are human.
