DID HE BETRAY HIS TRUST. Serious Oharges Against the President of Linooln's Law and Order Leagne. HIS REPUTATION AT STAKE. Both as a Reformer and as a Lawyer =All the News of the Day at the State Capital, FROM THE BER'S LINCOLN BUREAU) President Sawyer, of the Law and Order League, has been made defendant In a litigation which, if the allegations of the plaintiffs are true, will destroy his usefulness as a reformer and seriously tmpair his standing and reputation as a tawyer. The title of the action is “Albert G. E. Holmes and Ruby L. Holmes; by Leonidas K. Holmes, their guardian, vs F. A. W. Shimer, Geo. H. Walker, An- drew 8. Sawyer and Winona Sawyer.” The original defendants when the suit was commenced last winter, were Shimer and Walker only, but yesterday the plain- tiffs filed an amended petition making the Sawyers the real detendants, and ex- pressly stipulating that they have no cause of action rinst Walker direetly. The facts set forth in the petition that in August, 1877, George H. Walker, of Harlan, Towa, was the owner of lot 4, block 89, in the city of Lincoln, which was leased for a term of years by Anna J. Holmes, mother of the minor plaintifls. It was agreed in the lease that Mrs. Holmes should pay a certain rental, and erect buildings on the land, and that when the lease expired the improvements should be appraised, and an opportunity given Walker to purchase the prop- 3 If he refuse to take it at the price then Mrs. Holmes was to have the privilege of buying it at the price named. Mrs. Holmes erected a fine two-story brick dwelling, and since her death milar house has been put up by the heirs, In 1873, thinking it would be safer to the title in her own hands, the plaintifis engaged Saw- yer as their attorney to buy the realty from Walker, and instructed him to pay as high s $1,400 if necessary. Afte long delay Siwyer iformed "them th Walker would not seli, and Holmes s, gested that he had b go over to Towa and see him.

A. W. Shimer, who was then in Florida, Here the matter rested until about the middle of February last, when Holmes applied direct to Walker for information about the sale, and was told that Sawyer had conducted the negotiations in tho name of the plaintifis, and that Walker supposed the sale made to them, as he did not know of any party named Shimer in the transaction. Mr, Walker further said that Saw- yer told him the Holmes would not pay over $600 for the land, and that he had deeded it to them at that figu in April, 1883, the deed being delivercd to Sawy The plaintifls then tendered Sawyer tho money he had paid Walker and” demanded that the property be transferred to them.

As the matter stands,Sawyer is not only accused of unprofessional con- duct in beating s own clients, but is charged with having got the land from Walker for $600 less t if worth, and than his clients w to pay.

With each year, since the formation of the National League in 1876, the game of base ball has steadily grown in purity of character, in popular favor, in point’ of creditable 'management, and respectable patronage, until to-day it is termed the National” Game of Amgrica, with every elaim to the title What last year gave us in brilliant y ing, closely contested gamesand remar ble victories, this present year promises to duplicate, if, indeed, it does not excel. The two great teams of last season—Chi- cago and New Yo much the same in_theie personnel this r. Chicago will possess fourteen play viz: McCor- mick, Clarkson, and Flynn, pitchers; Moolic and Elint, catch Anson, first base; Pfoffe ond base; Williamson, third base; Ryan or Burns short; Sunday or Kelley, right field; Gore, center field; and Dulrymple, left field. Thus it will be seen that all of the old players have been retained, three new ones added, namely: Flynn, Mcolic, and Ryan.

In addition the elub will play Cabifl, Quinn, Sauer ry, Dolan, Healy, Howard, Boyle anc Kirby. Much moré is anticipated of this team than they did last, The old Bostons wlil show much the same team they played year, and with Nash, Poorman, Johnston and 'Stemmeyer as the young blood of the team promise to hold their own even against the erack teams, they are to go against. The new teams, Kansas City and Washington, are made up largely of old League players who have been released from the old Leafiuu teams to make up the new clubs, and judging from the pres- ent outlook, they will each show up with very ereditable sggregation. Washington wi Fhive Burr and Hines and Shaw and Gilligan as batteries.

ATE TIC. Foot-ball, lacrosse, lawn tennis, sprint- ing and general athletics, are already commencing to enjoy & boom, which it is said will be greater than in’ any scason heretofore. known. In ago during the past winter, there have neen a greater number of athletic events with the glove and in wresthng, than we have enjoyed in any season past. The great wrestling matches at St. Louis between Evan Lewis, the Wisconsin lumbermaan, and Matsada Sorikichi, the Jap, were the most nota- ble events of the year in wrestling, and wore witnessed by ever 5,000 people. The great suceess nilmwis is remarkable, and there are those in athletic circles who do not hesitate to pronounce him the John Sullivan of his time in his line of athletics. In matters of the glove, the memorable battles of the year have not been confined to Chicago, but have extended from coast to coast of this broad country, and no past year has witnessed the growth in ponularity and fame of so young knights of the glove. Jack Jack Dempsey, Tommy Warren, nk Glover, and so many more have sen like wonders in their ealling, and never before have such skill and science been ained in_the cultivation of the manly art. On May 3d next Jack Burke, who 1 look upon _to-day as the cleverest man of his weight in the world, will meet Frank Glover, the Illinois cham- pion heavy weight, at Battery D in thi city. The battle promises to'be a mem- orable one in the history of the ring. It is understood that soon after, Jack Dempsey, the famous mid: dle weight, whose recent battle with George Blanche, was telegraphed to almost every prominent newspaper in the world, will meet Charlie Mitchell, the champion middle weight, also in this city. To those who have not seen these great exponents of the fistic art in a “battle for blood,” further details of their style, nchievements and history would doubtless prove interesting, and if Iecan find space 1in my next letter, I promise to give it. For fear that I have already crowded too much into_this letter, how- ever, I will put the pin in here and stop. CoN CREGAN.
