I need the transcript of Charles Taze Russell v. The Washington Post. 1906.
I also need every reference to Kansas and Nebraska appearing in the Watch Tower from 1880 through 1886.
Help? Please.

As regards the appeal trial a transcript of the minutes of the judgment appears on the website of former JW documentalist Barbara Anderson:

A scan of the document is scrollable on the Hathi Trust site (go to page 277) :

Regarding Kansas, with the exception of one, all the references I found relate to letters from readers (reproduced in the section “Interesting Letters" unless otherwise specified)
ZWT January and February, 1882, “View from the Tower”, page 1 [Reprints page 312] :
Among the many refreshing letters received, we wish you to enjoy with us, the spirit of the following:
KANSAS, Dec. , 10, 1881.
DEAR BROTHER RUSSELL:--I have derived great comfort from the December number of "Watch Tower. […] Now, dear brother, I would like a few copies of "Food for Thinking Christians. "I will treat and place each one as though it were pure gold. I want to send one to my brother, a minister, and to others. I am anxious to do all I can. […]
ZWT July, 1882, “View from the Tower”, page 1 [Reprints page 367] :
[…] Bro. Lawver of Missouri, starts about July first, for a trip through Kansas and Texas. Letters, requests for preaching, may be addressed to this office. […]
ZWT August, 1882, “View from the Tower”, page 1 [Reprints page 377] :
We subjoin extracts from a few of the letters received. […]
CHANDLER, KANSAS. DEAR BRETHREN IN CHRIST:--
We are here on the frontiers of Kansas. We have never regretted sending for the WATCH TOWER. […] We have been church members for forty years, but we have learned more from the WATCH TOWER than we ever learned from the pulpit. There are some here who are inquiring for the truth, and we think that if we had some pamphlets or papers to circulate through this country, it would be sowing the precious seed of God's truth. […]
ZWT August, 1883, “View from the Tower”, page 3 [Not in Reprints] :
Below will be found some extracts from INTERESTING LETTERS.
Hobart, Kansas.
DEAR BROTHER RUSSELL:--...
The Food and Tabernacle have been at work. We have been calling the attention of our neighbors and friends to read, but have only found one or two that want to learn. As for me and my house we are fully determined to follow after the truth, and lay aside our church creeds and rely on the Word of God. I am over sixty years of age; and have been very active in the cause of Christ for 40 years, but my light was dim until I got the WATCH TOWER and pamphlets. I held the office of deacon of the Baptist church here one year ago, but have come out of her, and, with one or two more, we stand alone.[…]
ZWT Setember, 1883, “View from the Tower”, page 1 [Not in Reprints] :
We lay before you as usual extracts from a few INTERESTING LETTERS.[…]
Topeka, Kansas.
DEAR BROTHER:--I feel as though I stood alone here in Topeka in regard to these teachings; but it has inspired in me a better hope and a more abiding peace and love for God and man and the holy Scriptures than I ever had before, and I would rather stand alone throughout this harvest time, than to stand with and be of those whose faith is in the teaching of the nominal church. I feel that it is a sore trial to be so bitterly opposed by those, even of my own household, and to be misjudged by them. […]
(To be followed,)
Stéphane
(Kansas - continuation and end.)
ZWT March, 1884, page 1 [Not in Reprints] :
Cuba, Kansas.
DEAR FRIENDS:--I hope to find in some of the papers that you send, when our Passover anniversary will occur this year. I expect to keep it all by myself. The wine I can buy, and I can make unleavened bread myself.
I am very lonesome sometimes when I cannot find any one to converse with me about the glorious news proclaimed in the Bible and made plain in ZION'S WATCH TOWER through the Holy Spirit. Pray for me, […]
ZWT June, 1884, page 2 [Not in Reprints] :
Crawford Co., Kansas.
DEAR BROTHER:--We have the privilege of sending you a little mite for the Lord's work, […] We are not public speakers, but we tell the glad tidings to those around us, if it is only to one person at a time. Though we meet with persecution on the right hand and on the left, the Lord gives us more strength and boldness to stand up for his Word. […]
ZWT August, 1884, “Extracts from Interesting Letters”, page 2 [Not in Reprints] :
DEAR MRS. RUSSELL:-- […] Thank you for your kind wishes, and remembrance of me before God, for I am sorely persecuted by my best friends; […]
I am told that I am taking slow poison; that on peril of my soul I must burn all your papers; but I would burn my daily bread sooner. How much that sounds like Catholicism! I have been one of those who worked without ceasing in the nominal church, hence they are determined to try to bring me to my senses. The deacon has refused to take my name from the church; but I have written a second time telling him from henceforth I stand with you and your company. Since I have taken a stand for the truth, God has revealed to me plainer than ever that this is the way in which I should walk. […] I will not dissemble in spite of all opposition. The seed is taking root in Kansas, my former home. I expect to return in about one year, […]
Yours in Christ, MRS. __________.
ZWT December, 1885, “Extracts from Interesting Letters”, page 2 [Not in Reprints] :
Topeka, Kansas, Nov. 2, 1885.
DEAR BRO. RUSSELL: Some of my letters and remarks may sound as though I was discouraged, but I assure you that I am not discouraged. I expect to work on, and not to sit down at ease […]
ZWT April, 1886, “Extracts from Interesting Letters”, page 2, [Reprints page 807] :
Kansas.
DEAR BRO. RUSSELL:--The tracts which you sent me are drawing out such an amount of thought that I would like to canvass this place and adjoining towns. Please send me some more copies. I think I can make good use of them. At present I am giving only a part of my time. But I want to increase the time as interest increases. I have been trying for a week to take up the other copies to redistribute, but they will not give them up. […]
ZWT May, 1886, “Extracts from Interesting Letters”, page 2, [Reprints page 852] :
A sister in Lawrence, Kansas, writes: --I celebrated the Passover Supper alone with the Lord, as I have done two years before. I meditated upon the suffering and death of Him, and our privilege of sharing the same.

Hoping to have been of some utility in your quest. I will now move on to exploring Nebraska.
Stéphane
Regarding Nebraska, I found only two references in the readers' letters column (under the title “Extracts from Interesting Letters”... of interested readers), here they are:
ZWT July, 1884, page 2 [Not in Reprints] :
Antelope Co., Nebraska.
DEAR BROTHER RUSSELL:-- […] To say that my Saviour is blessing me is a poor way to express the joy and peace that he gives me, […] but if I speak of this even to those who profess to know and love him they would think I was foolish and very peculiar. They keep trying to get me to join the church and be one with them, but I tell them I do not want any church or creed […]. I have lent or given away all the books and papers you sent me. Some say they are very good, and others say they cannot understand them. One old man to whom I gave a Food for Thinking Christians says he cannot part with it, it is so good. He came over from Scotland about a year ago, and is about 87 years of age; his daughter says he will sit and read Food for hours. […] Your sister,
ZWT May, 1885, page 2 [Reprints page 750] :
Nebraska, April 8th, 1885.
DEAR BRO. RUSSELL: I come to you a new reader of the TOWER. I am not of those who have come out of "Babylon" […]. I saw from the start that I could never join any of the different denominations and remain with them. […]
Some time over two years ago "Food for Thinking Christians" was handed me by a dear old man, whose feelings I respected. So I accepted of it, took it home and laid it away,--counted it as rubbish […] Well, for over a month now […] I took up this little work, […]. After feeding on this for two days, I started to look up my old friend to see if he had anything more for me. I got a year's numbers of the TOWER. I want the whole truth, […] Send me Young's Greek, Hebrew and English Concordance; put me on your list for the TOWER, […] I can use some extra numbers of the TOWER to good advantage. […]
I have closed up my business account with the world, […] My only desire is to […] devote the remainder of my time […] in His service. […]

PS Dear Bruce, in case the 10 pages of the judgement of the court of appeal available at Hathi Trust would be useful, I will gladly send them by email (in the form of easily readable screenshots as I do not have access to the pdf file being unable to register on their website).
