THE SHELLENBERGER TRIAL. Iuterest Revived in Otoe County's Famous Murder Case. UNJUST CRITICISM REFUTED. he Board of Transportation Faith- fully Representing the Whole In- terests of the State—Doubling Up Rates—Execution Stayed. [FROM THE DER'S LISCOLN BURRAU. | Tho trial of Mrs. Shellenberger, of Ne- braska City, who with her husband Lee Shel- lenberger was indicted for the murder of her step-daughter, was the callin district court yesterday. T.B. Stevenson, of Nebraska City, and G. M. Lambertson are Mrs. Shel- lenberger's attorney's and County Attorney Btearnes and J. B. Strode, prosecute the case for the state. It will be noted that thisis the second trial for Mrs. Shellenberger, the jury at the previous trial failing to agree. All the morning hours were occupied in securing a jury and it was very evident from the challenges for cause that the facts of the terrible murder have been well read even this far from the place where it occurred. Mrs. Shellenberger appears in court much the sume as on the former trinl. Sheis rather neatly dressed, n black, but sho shows the effects of long confinement 1 the the county jail and the lines on her features were becoming more di nable, showing that ago with her is ling_faster than years, She still preserves the stolid ex- pression of countenunce which was 8o noti able in the former trial. In attendance terday were a large number of offic witnesses from Otoe county and a good man, ladies in thi who have found the casc interesting, were also present. Judging from the former trial it will take this week to hear the case, 1ts | 58 will bo watehed closely. In the afternoon the jury was sccured and the taking of testi- mony on the part of the prosecution begun. THEY WORK FOI TUE STATE, An Omaha paper in reviewing the supreme court decision on the power of the board of transportation, infers that the board has been prosecuting the case mercly for the benefit of Lincoln. This statement is mis- and does the members of the board of jrtation an injustice. Durmg the pr s of the work in bringi b caso for the reduction of rates t rd, as a board, and the members as individuals, have insistéd that no action should be taken for the purpose of benefitting & locality but that their work must be for the state entis They had this int in view when they were Inveigled into he railroud’'s secret compromise, and the facts of the compromise are that, 80 far as it went, it was a benefit to the state entire and not to any locality, although it was more favorable to small communities than to large ones. The order of the board was for @ reduction on the Kikhorn road of 33 per cent over its entire sys! In the hearing of the case the court did not, of its own voli- tion, go begond the simple question of whether the attorney general could force the case after his colleagues had compromised it, for it was the attorney of the Elkhorn road who, resting in the belief that the roads in passing the transportation law had made it a farce and without effect, filed a demurrer to the reduction order of the board, holding that the board no power to alt es. Upon this demurrer the power of the board was argued on both sides and the supreme court handed down its sweeping decision which, if fol- lowed _out by the board of transportation, will afford reliof to the poople of this state, who have been systematically robbed f years, Members of the bourd assert th Qquestion of facts in the Klkhorn case w taken up at once and the work of general ro- ductions in thoe state resumed. EXCESSIVE RATES, If any believe that rates are not excessi in tho state they should examine some of t freight bills that come on small shipments. A small dealer in this city secently received & consignment of tea from California, the rate of shipment being $2.40 per 100 to Omaha and then 60 cents from Omaha back to Lin- coln, Every bill of goods from the Pacif coast to Lincoln comes in this manner with the added local rate, notwithstanding that the Union Pacific runs into this city, which is practically no greater distance from the ca than Missouri river points. The doubling back process 18 worked on a dozen different towans in the state as well as at Lincoln. BUPREME COULT WORK, Among the cases argued in the supreme court at their session this week wasthe Shaf- fer murder case, brought from Kearney county to the supreme court on @ writ of er- ror, and on which writ exccution has been stayed. This is the murder case in which Shaffer shot a constable in cold blood for levying an attachment on some stock to meet a judgment, Shaffer prefacing bloody deed by usserting, prior to the murder, his intentions, if an attempt was made to collect the Judgmont Another murder case in which execution is stayed will also be the on error, and court verdiet of the courts errorless, Nebraska will have two ¢ ecutions to record in @ short time. In the mandamus case brought Blackbird coun to compel him placed on the maps as Blackb supreme court has entered its_opinion ” deny ing the petition and the mandaus, holding that there is no such connty as Bluckbird to ize, and that the tereitory his not been deseribed by proper metos and bounds.

Mr, Mackey said that the lad was incorrigible, and was constantly running away from Lome. He remained out late at night and was scl- dom at his meals. Mr. and Mrs. Mackey be ve that the only course open is to place the urchin_in the reform school, and Allie will undoubtedly be sent there, The lad, between his sobs, related his ver sion to a 3ee_reporter yeste He said : “Me an’ my little brother, we_live with our aunt on Capitol avenue. 1 ain’t got no father nor mother nor no parents but my little brother, The last three nights T was aplayin’ on the stage in the grand opera house, and my Aunt Eva said I could, if I would bring home the money.

Then I kicked on the door, and a girl came down and made me sleep in the kitchen. I had twenty-five cents, what the manager giveme for my three nights, and had to spend that mext ' mornin’ for somethin’ to eat. She aint been good to me nor my lit- tle brother and now she is a goiu' to send me to prison.” During the above recital little Allie's face was suffused with tears and he was the most abject human mite inable. ~ The boy, however, is a most accomplished little liar and the truth of his story is denied by a dozen witnesses who know Mr. and Mrs, M v, They are most estimable people and hav to Dring the lad up in the way he should g and finding it impossible, resolved to send him to the reform school for his own good.

Ham- mond & Co. leased what is known as tho Hammond packing house, of the stock yards company expired on November 15, A meot- ing of the diroctors of the Hammond com- pany will be held in Detroit, Mich., on Monday next, at which it will be decided whether or not the building will be leased again. It is not improbable that & proposi- tion may be made to the stock yards company offering to buy the plant outright, but what action wouid be taken by the stock yards people is unknown. If a satisfactory ‘price could be agreed upon, a sale could doubtless casily be made, as the Hammond company intend to remain here without a doubt. ~ But should such be not the case the yard com- pany apprehend no difeulty in either leas- ing or disposing of the property. While nothing has been said concerning such action if by any means whatover the yards company should fail to either sell or lease the house, it is believed by many that they would operate it in the future. -— hial, Asthmatic and Pul- monary Complaints, ‘‘Brown’s Brou- chial Troches’ have remarkable curative properties, Sold only in bozes. b A For Bror MORTUARY MATTERS.
