Events Occurring at Valentine. VALENTINE, Neb,, March 20.—[Special. |— The commit epnsisting of C. H. Cornell and E. Sparks, sent to Washington some | time ago to work for the retention of the United States land office at this place, are back, and bring very gratifying news, hav- Ing received every mssurance from our sen- ators and congressmen the office would re- main here. It is believed Senator Van Wyek’s bill to divide this Iand district on the west line of Cherry county will meet with general approval, With a new land office at Chadron, and with Dawes, Sheridan and make a very handsome one. The old district will contain Cherry, Brown and Keya Paha counties, Valentine being decidedly the most convenient point in the distriet, beinga little morth of the center, and besides its railroad facilities all the streams are spanned with good bridges, thus rondering the passage to the land office easy and convenient. The town 1s looking forward to a greater boom next summer than ever before. A large number of emigrants are amriving daily, and with a gratitied pride many of them are stopping in our county instead of passing on to the “great unknown beyond.” Our citizens are talking, and hope soon to take active ste) to complete a system of sidewalks throughout the town. Very ear- mest efforts to secure water works for the town have been made this winter, until it now stands forth an assured success in the near future. Since the adjournment of the grand jury 1ast irday the town has puton a grave and mysterious air. Whispers “vague and awful” are passing everywhere. Crimes committed and scemingly forgotten long ago kave again come to the light of day, and the names of more than cne prominent citizen have been uttered in connection with the in- dictments found. Dame rumor has it, and in this instance creditably, too, that six in- dictments for muraer in the first degree have been found, and a long list of assaults, ete., to follow. If some people bad more regard for the sanctity of their oath, and the sacred- mess of the jury room, there would not be so much talk about ind The Oakland Tragedy. OAKLAND, Neb., March 20.—{Specal.]— “There seems to be some misunderstanding in relation to the article from here in your is- suc of yesterday. A sister of Anderson’s is said to be here, but no brothers. The parties interested are former associates, and it is claimed belongtoa large gang of cow boys or bandits, and are on the alert to find out who were active in Anderson’s destruction and who will revenge the scene of the memorable Sunday night atany hazard. Rumor bas it that 10 less than a_dozen of the same gang are now In this vicinity,Lyons and Bancrott, “spotting” those who were hottest in the chase after Anderson. The story that Jonnson’s brother firad the barn is a fabrica- tion, as Lie had & fine team of wules in the barn, and was stationed at the time, with two others, bebind an out house guarding the stable door, from which it was expected_that the refugee would attempt to_escape. They were about correct, as a saddled horse was found dead near the door after the conflagra- tion. The excitement has somewhat sub- sided, but will be a matter of comment for the season. Everctt is no better, and will probably never recover his usual health and robustness, and if the county should donate or pay Johnson for the loss of his barn and contents, Everett would come in for and be entitled to compensation. Public opinion is vastly diversified on the question, no two persons thinking exactly the same.

Late in the afternoon, however, Ollicers Dempsey and Carroll were summoned in haste to the First Congregational Taber- nacle by the afirighted janitor, who said that a wild man had captured the house of worship. There they found Kelley, monarch of all he surveyed, having driven out three men who were in the church when he arrived. When the officers ordered him to surrender he quickly gave in, saying he was only hav- Ingal{tu fun and meant no harm.

A highway robbery was reported to have occurred about 9 o'clock last even- ing near the government corral, the vie- tim being Frank J. Crawford. The po- lice were informed of the affair late at night by Crawtord, who said that a man named Henchley had committed the deed. He had met the latter, he said carly in the evening in the city ‘and had loatied him $1.50. He then started for his home in South Omaha, and when near the government corral Henchley, who followed him, struck him with a k bat and then robbed him of $4 or &5 which he had in his pockets. Henchley then made his escape, and Crawford re- turned to the city and reported the affair.

The Verdiot of the State Press Jury on the Trial of John W. Lauer, His Innocence and Guilt Clear to the Minds of the Editors—Points on Pablic Opinion. ON GENERAL PRINCIPLES, O'Neill Tribune: The verdict of man- slaughter in the Lauer case is explained only on the theory that the jury tried the case over again und came to the conclu- ion that he ought to go over the road on general principles. IN THE FIRST DEGREE. Papillion Times: The verdict of man- shughter in the famous Lauer 1 at Omaha, was hardly in accord with the views of Sarpy county people generally. Murder in the first degree would have been more satisfactory. O, WHAT A VILLAIN T AM. Crete Globe: Judge Thurston abused the reporters in his speech in the Lauer case most shamefully. His tirade was wholly uncalled for, and he will find fore he gets through it that he has a big- job on his hands than doh-ndhig ner—that of defending Thurston. o will be led to see himself as others see im and be ready to exclaim, “‘Oh, what ain I am!" EITHER GUILTY OR TNNOCENT. Kimball Observer: -cat deal of in- terest was manifested here in the cel- ebrated Lauer case that was tried in Omaha last week. The result “‘man- slaughter” was hardly to be expected from the evidence. Either Lauer was guilty of a brutal murder or the killing of his wife was accidental. Such, how- ever, is a part our jury system plays upon the judicial stage. UNJUSTLY CONDEMNED. Brown County Bugle: The jury in the noted Lauer case, which has been in progress for nearly two weeks, rendered a verdict of manslaughter on last Satur- morning. The case will not rest here, but an apveal for a new trial will be made by defendant, he thinking the sentence s and unjust. A person following the_trial through without pr udice cannot but believe the prisoner un- justly condemned and innocent of any intention to shoot down his wife in cold blood. . AN UNSOLVED PROBLEM. Weeping Water Eagie: The Lauer trial at Omaha has ended; the jury bringing in a verdict of manslaughter. How a jury could bring in a verdict of that kind, is one of the unsolved problems of the day. If a man don’t know his wife from a burglar in a room where is a Dbright hard coal fire is burning, he ought not to have one; but to murder her in cold blood in that light, and have the jury call it manslaughter, is too strong a pill for the peovle to swallow. CONDE! IN ADVANCE, G: The jury in the Lauer murder trial found the defendanc guilty of manslaughter. We read tho evidence carefully, and feel satistied that had it not been for Lauer’s unkind- ness towards his wife before the shooting the verdict would have been not guilty. The fact that they found him gailty of manslaughter only, shows that the jury had grave doubts whether he was guilty or innocent. HE SHOULD BE THANKFUL. Crete Globe: John Lauer b convicted of manslaughter, i He shot his wife dead last fa in his bed room, and claimed he mistook hor for a_ burglar. Lauer and hi had not lived happily together, and the ty of the people best acquainted the facts in the case believed he his wife in cold blood. His al was the most celebrated criminal trial ever held in the state. 1t lasted for overa weck and the court room was thronged with people during the whole trinl. Judge Savage and John M. Thurs- ton defended and Lee Estelle and J. C, Cowin prosecuted the case. Cowin made an eloquent_and able argument for the state and Thurston made an cloquent plea in behalf of his client. may congratulate himself that the verdict of the jury was not murder in the first de- gree. HAD BETTER BE SATL ED. Dawson County Herald: The trial of John W, Lauer, of Omaha, for the mur- der of his wife, last fall, ocenpied the at- tention of the district court there for two past, and closed by a verdict of ughter on Saturday last. A great many in this city, in fact, we presume all over the si kept constantly informed of the progress of the trial. The evidence being published in full gave all as good an opportunity for judging lof the guilt or innocence of the accussd the jur had, and almost without an ¢ i verdict here 1s that Lauer w murder in the!first degree. ! He be satisfied with the verdict and not try to ool with it or he may stana an excel- lent chance of stretching hemp. THU! TRUTHFULNE During the trial of uer ease John M, Thurston indig- nantly declared that he had never accept- ed a fee to prosecute a man for his life. This remark, besides being histors y untrue, carried an implication that ought not to be a_matter of boasting. In the celebrated Olive trial, Thurston was one of the counsel for the prosecution and the state paid him a fee of §300 which, as ors fees go, he well earned. As to ication, it would seem that Mr. that occasion at least, ns- sumed that it is more honorable to stand between justice and the criminal, for a fee, than to vindieate the law and proteet ¥y by the conviction and punishment offender, The ethics of tne legal sion find no counterpart in any ssion or ealling. 1ES AND TU Sutton Registe the VERDICT, ry This celebrated case was terminated at Omaha on Saturday last by u verdict of the jury finding Lauer guilty of manslaughfer. S8, Estelle and Cowin weve the attorneys for the state and Judges Thurston and Savage for the defense. No stone wus left unturned by either the prosecution or the defense, The prisoner had & fair wial and able counsel. In ggse a new trial is not granted his wT_c ce will be ronounced by Judge Nevillp, which will e a)enitemlury for not less than one year and not more than ten years, he tirade of the Omaha Republican upon the criticisms of Judge Thurston in regard to the reporters of the préss scems to us to have been entirely gratu tous and uncalled for. A lawyer, in de- fense of & buman life, has license'to say reat many things which ought npot to offend the most fastidious. Mr. Cowin said many things which were doubtless unpleasant to the prisoner’s ear, but we have failed to see on that account any sudden onslaught of the Omaha press upon the speech of General Cowin, If the prisoner was innocent the strictures would not hart him, if guilty he d d all that was said. The same might be suid with much more force concerning tue “‘beardless cubs.” TIME TO REPENT Wood River Gazette: The trial of John W. Lager, the Omaha murdorer, came to an end, last Saturday morning, the jury returning & verdict of manslaugiter. ‘The enormity of the crime, the hitherto luglh standing of the accused and the brilliant array of legal talent employed on both sides, all tended to attract public attention und to muke it one of the most mwrem” trials known te the eriminal ..mh Nebraska. The verdict, al- ok by ne means satisfectory, either prosecution or the defense, is probably as fair a ono as could have been rendered, the Gvidence against Mr, Lauer being wholly circmmstantial and the interest of; thé public .l.-nmmlinfi some kind of putishment for the brutal and inhuman manner in which the prisoner had tregted his wife prior to her tragic death. While there i no doubt that Laver comnjitted the terrible erime iously and with premeditation, there exists no evidence of a positive character that stich was the case, hence the public ought to be satisfied with the result as the punishment which he is lizely to get, whith will be from one to ten years, will> have an influence for ood'1n the future and render Lauer's ate a lesson to wife beaters and murders. THE VERDICT A COMPROMIS| Weeping Water Republican our opinion from reading the testimony from the beginning very carefully that Lauver will not be so leniently dealt with upon a rehesring of the case if he succeeds in getting a new trial, and would advise him to let well enough alone. From our knowledge of the facts the verdiot was a compromise in order to alleviate a dis- agreement. Wo cannot banish the thought that it was a cold-blooded mur- der, with intent enough brought out in the eyidence to hu ve %rserrrd averdict at the hands of the jury of not less than murder in the second degree, e, of course, only give a coudensed synopsis to those of our readers who have not had an opportunity to read the facts. Our space forbids entering into the detals, or speaking of the eloguence of counsel for and against, and we can only here state that such masterly cloquence as was dis- played by Judge Thurston and Gen. Cowin has never been heard in an Omaha court of justice. ———— MISS ANDERSON IN PRIVATE. How She Lives and Acts OIF the Stage —Her Ambitious Brother.

Indeed, fow people know of its existence, and there aro many who believe Lola Montoz to have been an altogether mythical personage. She was an Irishwoman. The beautiful city of Limerick was hor birthplace. Her mother was a Creole of Spanish blood, and her father was an Irish army officer The two were married when she was only 15 and he 20 years old, and Lola was born about two years later, their only child. She was christened Marie Dolores Eliza Rosanna Gilbert, and Lola wns merely a diminutive of Dolores. Her aronts romoved to England and kept her there until she was about 6 years old, when they separated. Lola’s mother married a Capt.Craig, and went to India, leaving the child with the father of Craig, at Montrose, Scotland. Afterward Lola was sont to London, and lived for some years in the family of Sir Jaspor Nichols, commander-in-chief of the Bengal army. She was sent to Paris ana to Bath to be educated with SirJasper’s daughters, and grew to bo a girl of singular beauty and rare accomplishments. Up to the age of 14 years all was thus plain sailing. But now Lola's mother came back from India, and the romance The mother told Lola th going to take her to Ind According], ns for travel were made. Dressc W purchased and trunks were packed. One day Lola no- ticed that a portion of the outht looked very much like a bride's trousseau. She asked her mother what it meant, but re. r«-i\w}'m cquivoeal reply. Then she went to n pain with whom her mother had travelled home from India, and asked him. He told her the truth. Her mother had bargained for a large sum of money to make her the wife of Sir Abraham Lumly, a judge of the su- preme court in Indi He “was 00 years old, and, havi austed the pleasures d to renew his youth by ‘That night Lola made a rope of bed- clothes and escaped by way of the win- dow. She fled to Captain James and told him he might have her if he would s from her motherand old Lumly. Cap- tain James did not hesitate to take her at her word. He gave her shelter for the night and next day with her to Ire- land, where his family lived, and there, after a good deal of trouble and annoy” ance, they were married. HE QUEEN OF MANY HEARTS. Capt. James and Lola presently went to the East Indies, where he had the bad taste to desert her and elope with a Mrs, Lomer. Lola did not grieve, but engaged home on the next vessel, and on the voy- age made a complete conquest of a young man named Lennox, a member of ‘the il- lustrious Scotch f:uuilfz Reaching London, she began a pretty ay life. Her favorite lover at first w: Lord Malmesbury, British Minister for foreign affairs; but noblemen by the score, and not a few royal princes, paid court to her ana lavished their wealth upon her. She made her home mostly in iondon, but frequently made romantic excursions with her lovers to Spain and other continental countries, everywhere exciting admiration, as well for her re- markable intellectual powers as for her now king of France. but was unable to make a conquest of his aflections. “I'hen she went on the stage as & dancer at the .
