Munger to remand to the Nebraska supreme court the case of the state of Nebraska versus! the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy’ Railroad company, which was original- ly brought in the state supreme court “to enjoin the railroad company from injuring the public by charging for its intrastate services as a common car- rier in the state of Nebraska unlawful rates and from defying Nebraska officers in discharging their lawful The case was originally in- stituted in the supreme court of the state on June 15 last, and in the fol- lowing July was removed to the United States circuit court on the pe- tition of the railroad company under the law of 1887 authorizing that court to exercise jurisdiction in suits be- tween the citizens of different states which involve over $2,000. The state immediately made an effort to have the federal courts remand the case on the ground the state itself was not a citizen in the sense that that word was used in the law, but Judges Mun- ger and Munger sitting as a circuit court denied the petition on the ground that the state was not a real party to the case. The state then de- cided to present the matter to the federal supreme court as it did Mon- day in the shape of a petition for an order compelling the United States circuit court to send the case back to the state courts. The law involved in the case is the statute enacted by the last legislature of Nebraska, establishing a passenger rate of two cents per mile, prohibit-' ing the issuance of passes and reduc- Ing certain freight rates to the extent; of 15 per cent of the ofd rate on in-; trastate business. In his petition to the supreme court of the United! States Mr. Thompson says: “After such statutes had gone into effect and when it was the duty of all common carriers in Nebraska to obey said laws, the Chicago, Burlington & ened to violate them and defied the authority of the Nebraska state rail- Prior to the enactment of such statutes, the intrastate traffic of the railroad company was prac- tically without restraint or control and its powers for oppression, dis- and far-reaching that individual citi- eltizens.—Commoner. apology nor defense ush!

Shreveport, La., Dec. 17.—A negro member of a traveling minstrel , troupe, who gave his name as Homer , Rogers, , Morehouse Parish Monday night and was hanged by a mob in his body riddled with bullets.
