DATE OF THE RHEA AEARING Lawyers Urge Commutation of Sentence on | Purely Legal Grounds. PLENTY OF WATER FOR IRRIGATION Several Nebraska Towns Actively in the Field for Location of the Additional State Normal School. (From a Staft Correspondent) H LINCOLN, June 17.—(8pectal.)—Governor | Mickey has recelved a request from At- | torney Willam Melnzes of Indiana asking | that he set Friday of this week for a hear ing of the Rhea case. The lawyer is sent | here by relattves of Rhea at Mt Vernon, Ind., to plead for mercy for the condemned | murderer. Rhea's real name s Klein, and | it has recently been discovered that he Is also a grand-nephew of Emil Pretorius, editor of the St. Louls Westliche Post, as well as & member of the Dutch family of which the Pretoifus, after whom the old Boer capital was named after, was a lead- ing light. The lawyers, propose to appeal to the gov- | ernor on purely law points, basing them | upon the dissenting opinfon of Judge Sedg- wick in the Rhea case, when his convic- tion In Dodge county was affirmed. This 18 made necessary because no further ap. peal can be made to the supreme court, (0o | long a time having elapsed. to show to the governor that the supreme eourt has recently approved an opinion of 1 Commissioner Pound which affirms Judge | Bedgwick's holding In his dissenting opir - fon. The point in question is whether t l" Nebraska statutes, being taken bodily from those of Ohlo, should be governed in thelr | interpretation by the Interpretations of the eourts of Ohlo. The attorneys for Rhea contended there must have been a maliclous purpose on Rhea's mind when he committed the crime to carry the death penalty. They insisted that their point had been decided | by the Ohlo court in such a way that all that could be given him is @ life sentence. The colirt held that the Ohlo statute did not apply, but since then it has afirmed an opinion of Commissioner Pound which overrules the basis of the ninth syllabus of the Rhea case. The case in point Is Stm- erul against Goble, %4 Northwestern. Big Slice of Alimony. Bruno O. Kostka, a prominent druggist, was defendant in a divorce suit filed and heard this morning. His wife charged him with extreme cruelty. Kostka appeared in court, but made no defense. He gave his wife $5,00 cash alimony and $25 a month for the support of their one child until he is 18. Lincoln Man Faces Murder Charge. “Frenchy" Leonard, a former Nebraska crook, is'in jail at Littie Rock, Ark., facing a charge of murder. He went by the name of Wattles there and conducted & rooming house. While attempting to rob a drunken roomer the man made a squeal and was killed. The police claim to have a cinch on him. Leonard was once convicted of robbing a bank at Geneva, but got a new trial in the supreme court. While on the way back to Geneva to bo tried again he got away from the officers and has never been captured. Stricken with Apoplexy. While & woman and two children were out fishing last evening they came across & mar sying, his face half hidden in the watsr of Salt creek, just south of Lincoln park. The sherift's office was notified and the man removed to the hospital. He groved to be, Andrew Rickner, a fisherman llving at 3% North Twenty-second street. The doctors said he had recelved an apo- plectic stroke and that he will not recover. He has not regained consclousness. Dobson Says Water is Plenty. Stete Engineer Dobson is back from a visit to western Nebraska. He says that the rivers and streams of the state have yet to attain the high water mark for the spring and summer, incident to the melting of the snow In the Rocky mountains. Measurements of the several sireams divulge the fact that June, usually the high month, has been abnormally low and that July wilf be the heavy month. This insures an abundapce of water in the irrigated dis- tricts at the very time it Is most needed. June 1 the flow of the North Platte was 3000 cuble feet per minute, June 15 s ex- ceeded 7,000 feet and ll.lfl" increasing. It is expected to reach 'the highest stage about July 10. Reports from the mountains are to tae effect that the snow has just begun to melt and that it will be fully three weeks before it has become wet and BOEEY. He states that during the period of floods and cloudbursts In other parts of the state the South Platte river was absolutely dry from its junction with the North Platte west to the state line, where It enters Colorado. This Is accounted for by the |1 stopped playing, | conductor of a They propose |1 for irrigation It s South enormous demand for water purposes in Colorade and Wyoming not an unusual occurrence for the Platte in Nebraska to be dry at a time In summer.

Innkeepers Is an innkeeper the insurer of the safety of his guests? This I8 the question ralsed in a brief just filed in the supreme court in a case where Michael F. Clancy sues the proprietors of the Barker hotel at Omaha for Injuries inflicted upon his 6-year-old son by a porter or bellboy. The e hows that on the evening of January 1902, Lacey, the porter, was playing a har- monica in his room. The music attracted the little Clancy boy, who had been playing bout the dors. When the boy entered and in a spirit of sport picked up a revolver and said: “See here, young fellow, if you touch anything this is what you will get.” The gun was accidentally discharged, the bullet striking the boy and injuring him severely The district court instructed a verdiet for the defendants. but the plaintift appealed. The defendants rely upon the claim that they are not liable because at the time of the accldent Lacey was not performing any duty for them for which he was employed They Insist that a porter or bellboy cannot be sald to be In charge of the hotel or the Euests in the sense in which the porter or sleeping car is in charge and that only ordinary care of his guests is all that s required of him Another claim of the plaintiff is that acey was sitting in his room walting for a call to duty and that In presenting the pls- tol he was performing the duty of protect- ing the master's goods from the onslaughts of the 6-year-old. The defendants insist that bellboys are not on duty while in their rooms and that it was the porter's own goods, hot those of his master, he was protecting & Insurers. Looking After Normal, Senator Frank Dean of Holdrege was at the state house today making inquiries concerning the status of the contest for the location of the new normal school, so that Holdrege may get Into it with as much vim as possible. He says that a meeting was held in that city a few even- ings since at which preliminary organiza- tion was effected looking to the Institution of a fight for the new school. Holdrege is now the location of one of the junior nor- mals, sald to be the one that has the largest attendance of any of the five junfor schools in the state, upon which favorable showing for the popularity of normal school work friends of the city expect to lay great stress. The aspirants for the normal school that are now actively pushing their claims are Afnsworth, Alllance, Aurora, Broken Bow, Central City, Hastings, Holdrege, Kear- ney, North Platte and Ord. Friends of each city profess the utmost confidence that their favorite will land the prize From this time on the rivalry will be more pronournced, as the law will go into effect July 9, after which it will be neces- 'y to advertise for bids for the location. Twvo applications for suspensions of criminal sentences were presented to the supreme court today and taken under ad- visement. One of them fs an application by Raymond Smith of Sheridan county for a stay of execution of sentence and a writ of habeas corpus directed against the sheriff of Sheridan county and the warden of the penitent/ary requiring them to admit him to bail on his own recognizance. Smith fs under sentence of one year In the penitentiary, fmposed June 9 in Sher- fdan county, on conviction for burglary with Intent to commit assault.
