LINCOLN, Feb. 21.—(Special)—It I8 jearned on good authority here that former Treasurer Meserve's main defense against tke Dougles county grand jury indictment will be on the grounds of venue or jurisdic- tion. It is contended by the friends of the accused that even if a judgment ot gullty is returned it will yet be possible for Mr. Meserve to save himselt, and in explanation of the declaration they call attention to that rule of law which provides that a criminal prosecution must take place in the | county where the crime was committed. An Investigation of the transactions of the former treasurer with the Unlon Btock Yards bank has demonstrated that there is reasonable doubt that the crime alleged was committed in Douglas county. The in- terest money paid by the South Omaha baok on the $60,000 deposit of state school money reached Mr. Meserve in a roundabout wa; it the conclusions of the te legal official are correct, and three countls re brought into the comsideration. They are Douglas, Lancaster and Redwillow. It is asserted that the South Omaha bask, ot the end of each month during the time the sohool money was on deposit in the in- stitution, credited the First National bank of MoCook with $150. From ioformation obtained by the attorney gemeral there is ground for the belief that the bank in turn credited Mr. Meserve with $150 each month, It i clalmed that this is the was Mr. Meserve received the interest money from the South Omaha bank. Paul Jessen's Candidacy. The mame of Paul Jessen of Otoe county has been added to the list of republican, candidates for governor. His candidacy, 80 it is reported here, was officially an- nounced this afternoon by a Nebraska City republican newspaper. Mr. Jessen was one of the leading Hayward supporters in the senatorial contest of 1899 and last year in the republican convention was one of the foremost in favoring the condemnation of the Bartley parole. He has been frequently mentioned recently as a candidate for tho gubernatorial nomination and the announce, ment mede in Nebraska City today, ther fore, will mot be a great surprise. Republica inte Central mittee, Chairman H. C. Lindsay expects soon to issue a call for a meeting of the repub- lican state central committee for the pur- pose of fixing a time and place for the state nominating convention. He was in Lincoln this week and would have lssued oall had Secretary Mallalieu been in olty. “The prevalling sentiment seems to be in favor of an early convention,” sald Mr. Mallalle “The advantages of beginning the campaign early are numerous. It wi enable the candidates to do more effective work and will likely do away with the prac- tice of holding two conventioms In & county. Persons I have talked with re- garding the matter think that both candi- dates for county offices and delegates to the state convention should be named at the same time. When the state convention is held late in the year many of the ceunties bave a convention for no other purpose than to name delegates. “I expected this week to issue & call for & meeting of the state central committes, ‘but because of the absence of Mr. Mallalieu, ‘who is in Oolorado, decided to wait a while. 1 may see him within the next week or oo and if so will probably determine when to call the committee together. Baled Straw Schoolhouse. In & book soon to be lasued from the department of public instruction will be a cription of the only baled straw scheol- house known to have been comstructed on Nebraska sofl.

A brief account of the bullding of the baled straw schoolhouse 1n Scotts Bluff county was obtained by Mr. Fowler from | James Baney of Minatare. Mr. Baney ys the straw was made into bundles. which were then bullt together with mud and held In place with poles. The walls so made, he eays, were surprisingly serv- iceable, equaling the sod walls in durabil- eement in Damage Suit. The jury in the O'Rellley-Hoover $20,000 disagreed after belng out thir- ix hours and was discharged this moru- ing by Judge Cornish. Trial of the case consumed three days' time in the district court. O'Rellley, electrici sued Dr. Hoover and Stephen C.

MORE TROUBLE FOR ANDREWS Third Warrant lssued for Default Banker and His Bail is Doubled. DETROIT, Feb. 21.—A third warrant was iesued today for Frank C. Andrews, vice president of the City Savings bank, which is in the hands of a receiver, on & com- plaint charging him, together with another officer of the bank, for whom & warrant was also lssued, with making a false report on the bank's condition to the state banking commissioner on February 2, 1901. Mr. Andrews was arraigned in the police court and his counsel asked that he be re- leased under this charge on his personal recognisunce 1n view of the fact that the Wheland decilned to grant the request and fixed the bail at $50,000. This was not fur- nished. Mr. Androws' examination was set for February 28, the date of examina- tion on the other two complaints. The complaint made today alleges falsifi- cation of the report which was supposed to show the condition of the bank at the close of busin February 5, 1901. The com- plaint charges that the loans and the dis- counts in the alleged falsified report was $76,000 out of *he way. In the matter of overdrafts the report stated that they amounted to $198.55, whereas the books show, according to the complaint, that they amounted to $198,987.58. The complaint re- cites that the report set forth that there was $80,896.74 in banks in reserve cities, whereas the true amount was $286,695.74. The report stated that there were in other banks $36,750.67, when the complaint states there was but $15,760.67. The re- port stated that, in exchanges for clearing house, there was $97,096.90, and of checks, cash items, interest and revenue account, $962.79, when the proper amount for these two -items should have been $32,368.74. The report gave the amount of currency as $140,58, - when the true amount, ac- cording to the complaint, was $40,062.50. The amount of gold coln in the report, as held in the bank, was $28,292.50, while the complaint declares the true amount was $6,670. The amount of silver was given at $10,102.26, instead of $7,086.50, the true amount, according to the complaint. The amount of commercial deposits recorded in the report was $745,287.65, whereas the complaint declares the right figure to have been $943, The report indicated that F. C.
