TAYLOR ESCAPES THE NOOSE Murder in the Second Degree the Jury's Verdiot. COLTISH UNIVERSITY BOYS. They Indulge in Some Foolish Pranks —State House Matters—A Cor- rection—Lincoln News and Notes. 029 P STREET, LaNcoww, Neb., Nov. 16, At 9 o'clock this evening the jury in the case of the State vs John Taylor returned a verdict of murder in the second degree. At the opening of the trial Taylor had offered to plead guilty to murder in the sec- ond degree, but the state refused to accopt. The crime for which he was tried was the killing of an old colored man named Bob Woods on the evening of April 22, 1889, Taylor stood on the outside of the house und fired a load of shot through an open win- dow into the old man’s head, killing him in- stantly, The verdict says that the jurors fail to find in the evidence that premedita- tion which would warrant o verdict of mur- der in the first degree. Have Complied With the Law, Notico was received at the state banling department that the South Omaha branch of the Nebraska Saviugs bank capitalized ac- cording to law September 1. Indeed, it is tearned the bank complied with the order of the board soon after it was first issued. In justice to this bank the state board states that the recent reatirmed order for separato capitalization did not refer toit.

Students on the War Path, ‘The collegiate war between the sophomores and freshmen of the state university, which has been slumbering since the former were dofeated in the cane rush, broke out again last night and came near ending i blood- shed. It appears that the freshmen accepted an invitation from the students of the Wesleyan university, and weut out last night to attend the meeting of the societios and thus pay a fraternal visit. The some of them, ac- companied ' by their best grls, securcd a car ou the Standard line to wait for them and bring chem back to the city. On the way out the ariver of the car was beset by @ party of students, members of the sophomore class, und overpowered. After breaking the singletrees, however, the boys released him, but the driver had to return to the barn and secure a new set, which caused a delay of over an hour. The driver told the freshmen of the cause of whe delay and they at once suspected its source. KForewarned they were forearmed and o skirmish line was thrown ovt, but the procession was stooped three or four times Y obstructions on the track in the shape of piles of earth on the track, which they were compelled to clear sway. At Archer and Baldwin streets, just in the suburbs of the city, when crossing 4 culvert & partyjof sophomores ran vub and undertook P.MORSE & CO to board the car. The superintendent, how ever, whipped out a revolver and told the boys he would put a holo through the fivat one who made any bad breaks, This awed them and they beat a hasty retreat. The picket liue of freshmen followed them und captured two of their number, but one of them effected his escape. The one who failed in his efforts to et uway was takon before the superintendent and he was given the al- ternative to give the name of his companions or go 10 the police station. The young fel- low, whose name is Skiles, (the ringleader after a moment's meditation “'squealed” an he was released. The matter will probably get into the courts, for it ia said that arrests are to be made. The girls of the party were baaly frightened.
