The major drifted from Omaha to Sacramento, and was engaged n_editorial work in that city several years previous to his death “Ten there w phia—imported dir of the Herald page of that pape telegraph, ete, The Herald was a ten-column folio fn those days, and to get up three or four columns of local news each day for the big fourth page, in addition to the otne duties mentiones was 1o easy task. Wilson, however, was a rapid writer, an_adept news-gatherer, and from day to day he accomplished the work with apparent ease. Of course telegraph r ports at that time were not one-tenth as laree s now. “Butas I said before, Wilson was from Philadelphia, where he tad been engaged in newspaper work, and te could and did give us westerners many points how to get up a newspaper in a readable and attractive man- ner. ~His first innovation was to arrange the telegraph news under proper headings, sub- headings, ete., something that had becn en- tir previous to his coming. Criminal, accidenal, political, foreign, etc., were arranged under appropriate headings, and over the whole was placed a ‘slug head’ big enough to please the most avaricious compositor, and to'makn him think that Wi son was the bestinewspaper man this far west. Beforo the Philadelphia journalist struck the town there had been no heads put 1 a Mr. Wilson of Phiiadel- ot, 1 think, by Dr, Miller who 'alone _edited the ity Jattended to revision of tho making headings, reading proof, on the telegrdph,. and the only revision it got came from the compositor as he pnt the wews in type. Whole columns were dumped in_the forms with its single line, ‘Latest vy Telegraph,’ over tho whole, and as the prinfers were more inter- ested 1n the length of their string of dupes than they were in presenting an_intelligible report, you can safely caleulate that the tele- graph columus did not read as smooth as in these later days. Wilson worked a great change—one that met the approbation of the printer,suited the general reader, and pleased Dr. Miller—so much so that he complimented the new city editor ou his work, as he was wont to do any man who labored on his paper and rendered good servico. ““I'spoke of the *slug heads’ that Wilson put over the telegraph news, and I meant to tll you that he was tho first man to make that Sort of a head in an Omabia newspaper. Thoy came when he came and bave remained ever sinco. First the telegraph news was thus made prominent, and soon after importaut 1ocal articles were served in like manner. A series of articles on the Omaha schools writ- ten by Wilson were treated with sensational headings, and sttracted much thereby. ' It was a departure from the m ony of police court reports, army new roid iutelligence, ete, with whick the col- umns had previously been burdened, and ¢ ated a good impression for the paper that had the energy to o as far away as Philadelphia for literary talent. “But Wilson, with all his talent and the valuable newspaper experience he was aole t) bring from the Quaker City, did tot last long in the hustling Omaha of those days. Ho had a penchant. for lecturing in coun tion with his mauifold newspaper dutics, and as Dr. Miller naturaily wanted a_man whom le paid a liberal salary to give his undivded attention to the Herald columns, tho brilliant young journalist of Poiladelpbia at the end of a few months’ service returned to his first love and again took up the work he abandoned to seek famo and fortune in the tar west, “Yos there has, as stated in Tup Brp's article to whien [ referred in the outset, been great changes i the manner of conducting jewspapers in Omabu in the past twenty years. ‘The city in that time _has made gredt Strides, but the newspapers nave kept equal pace, if they have not exceeded the prog and prosperity witnessed on every hand. an evidence look at the metropolitan ing, widely circulated and ably m Diyiy Bek, with its ponderous pr scores of writers, army of printers, hosts of rs, and last, out publication structure built up and made permancut in the dozen or fifteen years, One who is not amiliar with its early history, of the disud vantages under which it labored at the stact, cannot appreciate the magnitude of its great: ness at this time.

As the dreadful crime of the defendant consisted in cutting a few trees on government land, and he had already been put to great ex- pense and anxicty, the court concluded the man had been sufficiently punished, and the dismissal was allowed to stand, During the past few years Judge Neville has made investments n Omaha real estate with such discretion that he is now enjoying an annual income of about $30,000. He owns property opposite the corners of the new postofive site, and frankly confesses that the selection of that particular block increased the value of his adjoining property at loast £50,000, The late Silas A. Strickland was Judge Ne- ville's predecessor as United States distr attorney and for a quarter of a century w a prominent churacter in Nebraska politics, He first located at Bellevue, about 1834, and in 1555 was appointed by Judge renner Fer. guson (fatherof Judge Arthur N. Ferguson) clerk of the territorial court for this district. He represented Douglas county in the lezis: lature in 1857, At the beginning of the war he enlisted as a private in the First Ne- braska infantry, became adjutant of the regi- ment, then colonel of the Fifteenth Ohio in- fantry, achieving special distinction at the battle of Perryville, Ky., and returned home at the close of the war with the rank of brig. dier gencral by brevet. Of the constitu- tional convention of 1571 he was the presi dent and brought to_the performance of the duties of that position a degree of vigor, ot, energy and good mnature which was always effective. As a law he relied more upon his power with a jury—n which respeet he had few equals—than upon being a master of obstruse legal points. He usual began the trial of a case with an abundance of paper for takinz notes of testimony (of which, as a matter of fuct, he never uscd a full shiceu), a clean handkerchiof and a pack age of peppermint candy, all of which he would place on the table behind him, to find, afew moments later, than his package of candy was being passed around among the lawyers for free distribution. In a trial in the United States court whero a young man had been indicted for passine a counterfeit #10 bill, the couusel of the C. A. Baldwin, esq., objected to rickland’s course in endeavoring to prove by business men the fact that the bill in question was a counterfeit, but to no pur- Finally, improving a favorable chance, Mvr. Baldwin substituted a good bill for the counterfeit, which genuine money Goneral Strickland then proved by three business men to be the rankest kind of counterfeit, Thereupon Mr. Baldwin vehemently d manded that attention be given to his ob- jections and Judge Dundy insisted that the district attorney send out for a bank cashier an expert. With grear confidence Gen- eral Strickland handed to the expert the bl after establishing his business and his ex- pe ey —and said “State to the jury whetlier, in your opin 10n, that bill is good or bad “This is a good bill, sir,” returned the wit- * shouted the attorney, “do you bill is not a col eit? if you will bring it down to the bank we will give you the gold for it.” Then there was a scene, in the midst of which Mr. Baldwin managed to explain to the court that he had changea bills without the knowledge of the district attorney, and that i view of the fact thut threo good busl ness men had testified that a genuine bill was a counterfeit, he thought considerablo allowance should be made for his client —an ignorant country boy—in mistaking u coun terfeit for a good bill. The jury were evi- dently impressed with the idea, for they re- turned a verdict of acquittal. W. J. Connell established a fine recc Qistrict attorney of the state court durir term which began in January, In the fall of that ar he prosecuted Willara Randall, indicfed for the murder of & young wowan at Fontenelle, 1 as his 18 Washington county, under circumstances of the most atrocious charact Randall was only about eighteen years of age and had v borne so good & reputation that | ions of innocenc re at fivst gen believed. ‘The proof acainst him was v circumstantial, an old pair of rubber ) a deep mark across the soles aused by putting them against a hot sto hearth, forming an important lina in the chain of testimony. Tracks were found in the fresh snow leading from the road to th house wh the woman had been left al that day, and these tracks had o mark pre cisely fitting those in the soles of Randa snoes. The first trial was held at Blair where the jury disagreed but on the second tri held in Omaha, Mr. Connell secured a ¢ viction and Randall was sentenced to a tevm of ten vears hard lubor in the It was at Blair that Judg r nounced the death sent th he was req ®o seven years of service on the tench, in this case one Minor Melton was coavicted of murder in the first degree, h's victim being an inoffensive Danish farmer whom he beat to death with a maul in & drunken fury after chasing him several miles from Blair ¢ the country, a wigon, An appeal was taken to the supreme court and a new trial was granted, when Melton was founa aiity of murder iu the second degree and sentenced by Judge Savage to @ term of ten years im- prisonment.
