O'Brien Reappointed Superiniendent of the State Fish Hatcheries at South B (From a Staft, Correspondent.) | LINCOLN, June 6.—(Special.)—Governor ickey will leave tonight for Council lufts, where tomorrow night he will lec- jure in the Methodist church of that place Christlan Citizenship.”" The lecture is o be delivered at the personal request of the pastor of the church, who formerly Tesided In Lincoln and who is an old-time friend of the governor. And that recalls that the calls on the governor lately for commencement speeches and such like have been %0 numerous that the governor is be- sinning to be sorry that he ever learned the business, and were it not for the fact that commencement is nearly over he jwould doubtless cancel several engage- ments. It is the Intention of Governor Mickey, yhow, to call a halt ana Gevote more of is time to, the governor's office. Not that e has neglected his business thus far, but l§t things keep going in the speaking line like they have been, something will have to be neglected, for the calls the governor gets, were they all to be accepted, would take all of his time. The governor's intention to quit the lec- ture platform was due to the fact that several parties have told him lately that they had been In to see him and that he was off speaking. “I Intend to stop speak- ing s0 much,” he sald this morning, ' for 1 am beginning to see that if I keep it up 1t will take too much of my time and will cause me to neglect my business. I don't want to do that, and, besides, I want to be here when people come to see me." Decrease in Insane at Hastin From December 1 to June 1 the number of inmates of the Hastings insane asylum has decreased from 915 to &3, according o the statement of the superintendent, W. B. Kerns. During the six months forty- one patients have died, one escaped and two were discharged as having regained their minds. Only ten persons were ad- mitted during this time. Six more inmates are accounted for because their furloughs had expired. To care for these people it has cost the state 32,600 for officer's sal- arles, and for the force of attendants it has cost §13,§15.30, or §15.49 for each Inmate for the entire period. Few Applications for Water, During the last six months only twelve persons have asked the state for water for irrigation purposes. Nearly all of thess applications are for water in the White river in northwestern Nebraska. In nearly all other portions of the state all the avail- ble water has been appropriated. Secre- ary Dobson belleves that most of the fu- ure Irrigation development will be along he line of storage reservoirs to save the flood waters. Mr. Dobson is confident that he irrigable area can be greatly Increased by the utilization of these means of storage. Bee Asks R aring. BE. W, Simeral, attorney for The Bee Publishing company had filed a brief in the supreme court asking for a rehearing in the matter of George W. Shields against The Bee Publishing Company, in which Shields was given judgment by the supreme court for $2,600 for damages alleged to have re- sulted from the publication in The Bee of an editorial regarding Shields. In beginning his brief Mr. Simeral said: *“I'his is an action for libel involving some of the most important legal questions that can be submitted to a judicial tribunal, viz: The right of the press to discuss and criticise the action of a public officer, and . upon the part of that officer his right to re- frain from the performance of those duties imposed on him by law. Yet the opinion filed herein on April 30, 1908, does not de- termine these important questions in the light of the evidence adduced, or the legal principles involved and argued. In commenting upon what he terms er- rors in the instructiohs, Mr. Simeral sald another fatal error in the instruction, vi: “It assumes that.a portion of the article charged Shields with malfeasance In office.” O'Brien is Reappointed. W. J. O'Brien of South Bend has been reappointed fish commissioner and for the next two years will have charge of the fsh hatoheries. Mrs, R. Stewart, who has been the stenographer in the office under Game Warden Bimpkins, will be retained by Mr. Carter. Mr. O'Brien was appointed over a number of applicants in recognition of his good work during the time he has filled the office. He was recommended by Mr. Carter, who has worked with him, and many other citizens, High School Graduation. Dr. H. J.

Bhaw, PLEA OF SELF-DEFENSE IS RAISED Defendant s a Young Man of Good Character—~Tragedy Arose Out of & Neighbor's Quarrel-De- censed Leaves Family, O'NEILL, Neb, June 6.—(Special)—-No case in the criminal annals of Holt county has attracted as much attention or been watched with as much interest, except per- haps the Barrett Scott case, which wa tried years ago, as the case whereln Kd- ward Slattery, a boy 18 years of age, ls being tried for his life for shooting and killing H. M. S8haw on March 6 last. Tho case has been on trial since Monday. At every sitting of the court the room has been packed with men and women and sev- eral times those who wished were unable to gain admittance. Great lawyers are en- gaged on both sides of the case and every step In being closely watched and con- tested. The state is represented by County Attorney A. F. Mullen and R. R. Dickson of O'Nefll and Hon. N. D. Jackson of Neligh, and the defense by Congressman M. P. Kinkald and M. F. Harrington of O'Nelll. Many legal questions have been raised, but the one which was presented at length and without a jury was the question as to whether or not, in & criminal case where the defense is self-defense, the defendant can introduce evidence showing specific acts of lawlessness and violence on the part of the deceased, which acts were brought to the attention of the defendant. The matter was argued for several hours, but the court held that under the rulings of the supreme court of Nebraska the only matter pertaining to or touching on the reputation of the deceased was as to his general character and reputation, as to whether or not he was a peaceable and law-abiding citizen. The counsel for the defendant were somewhat disappointed after this ruling, as they felt sure that they would be permitted to show any spe- cific acts of violence or lawlessness on the part of the deceased which were brought to the attention of their client. Testimony at Variance. Dozens of witnesses testified on both sides and there is quite a variance as to what occurred just before and at the time the fatal shot was fired. The defendant, Slattery, told a straight- forward story and was not at all shaken by the very thorough and lengthy cross- examination. He testified in substance that thegde- ceased had frequently threatened to ikill him and that they had quarreled over & line fence between his ranch and the de- ceased’s ranch; that on the day of the shooting the deceased was crossing his meadow; that it was wet and he was cut- ting it up; that he asked him to go around another road; that deceased, who was driv- ing a load of hay, was accompanied by & Mr. Thompson, who was also driving a load of hay; that he got off of the hay and commenced to call defendant all sorts of names and said to Thompson, who was with him, “Let us go and kill the little " and that bath deccased and Thomp- son started for defendant; that defendant had his gun by his side and loaded; that deceased came on a run toward him and as he reached defendant he grabbed the gun and. in the scuffie the gun was acci- dentally discharged and the load entored the right breast of deceased, from which he dled. This was disputed by Thompson, who testified that deceased was within about four f@t of defendant when he fired the fatal shot. Deceased Leaves Large Family. The deceased, H. W. Shaw, was about 41 years of age. He came to Holt county about 1882 and located on the ranch he owned at the time of his death, just south of O'Neill. He leaves a wife and five cbil- dren, the youngest being 13 years of ags. The defendant, Edward Slattery, is 18 years of age and single. He was at the time of the tragedy living with his brother on his father's ranch, which joins the Shaw ranch. Both men are well and favor- ably known in O'Neill and Holt county and belonged to highly respected families. The arguments were very eloquent and the counsel engaged in the case fully sus- tained their reputations. Judge Westover was commended for his justice and [fafr- ness in all his rulings and in the Instruc- tions given In the case. The arguments consumed nearly one whole day and on more than one occasion the eloquent words of the counsel brought tears to the eyes of many present. Especially was this so of the last words spoken by M. F. Har- rington in behalf of the defendant. At § o'clock the case was given to the jury und tha fate of the defendant is now in the hands of the twelve men who were se- lected to try the case.

The hostess herself, an exceedingly hand- some woman, with a thorough knowledge of how to set oft her beauty to the best ad- vantage, looked extremely imposing in her magnificent empire gown, studded with Jewels. Miss Gladys Deacon went In an exquisite mauve and white costume as an orchid, a most graceful and exquisitely carried out conceit. She wore no ornament but a wreath of orchids.

Mrs. Jaftray, as America, was in Stars and Stripes and looked very handsome. Princess Sees the Joke. At a subsequent dinner given to the prince and princess of Wales the princess thoroughly enjoyed herself, and, ltke every- one else, was delighted with the American humorist, who appeared as one of the en- tertainers, laughing heartily at all the jokes.

All the princess' and prince’s intimate friends were invited. The princess looked wonderfully handsome in the lovellest of white frocks, all worked in tralling roses. Her jewels, which are really superb, were a diamond tiara and a neck- lace of all different colored stones. Mrs. Adair, who had Mr. and Mrs. Ritchie helping her, wore the loveliest of lace trocks, with an idea of pale yellow here and there, and her dlamond and emerald tiara.
