THE OMAHA DAI LY BEE: SATURDAY, NOV "\ N0 BRIEF IN REVENUE CASE Raspondents Fail to File Printed Argument as Had Boen Expeoted. APPOINTIVE State Treasurer Will Have About £240,000 to Apportion (o Schoo of Varfous Countles in December. GOSSIP ABOUT PLACES (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Nov. 2.—(8pecial.)~The ‘re #pondents In the revenue tax argued before the supreme court Tues have falled to file thewr briefs with clerk of the court. Iy 48 understood that Senator Pemberton, whe came out of Gage county to help enact the law, will have a brief, s0 doubtless will City Attcrney Wright of Omaha, and possfbly so will Attorney General Prout, Since the argu- ment in the cage before the commissioners, however, the attorney gemeral has been somewhat Interested in the Bartley bond caso, and has spent some time on that, which leaves him little time for the prepa- ration of a brief fn the revenue case. Inasmuch as the time set for the hearing before the court proper is next Tuesday, it was expected that at least the briefs would have been filed today, but as they wer not, the indications are that no briefs will be filed until the day of the hearing. Gossip of A iniments. In the meantime interest In the revenue case has completely overshadowed the su- preme court clerkship and the supreme court commissioner who is to take the place of Judge Barnes because of his elevation to the bench. The friends of N. D. Jackson of Neligh still claim that he will be t.e next clerk, and that there will be no :lp In the matter. Victor Beymour s still get ting endorsements, and among some aames he has secured lately there are a good many prominent people. His friends do not belleve that Jackson has a cinch on the place. They claim that every indica- tion points to the faming of Seymour As to the matter of acommissioner, there 1s nothing at all doing, so far as the public knows. In the first place, there will be little to the place for any man, as ‘he tern 18 only from January until April, when the commission is reorganized under the new law. It would serve to give the lucky man for his lifetime the dignified (itle of judge, and that is about all. case to be School Money About Rendy. December 7 State Treasurer Mortensen will have the temporary school fund ready to apportion among the various counties of’| the state. It is expected there will be ¥:40,- 000 to apportion. Last year at the December apportionment there was divided up among the districts $230,000. Of this Douglas county got §26,239.58 and Lancaster county got $13,914.82 At the May apportionment there was over $400.000 divided out and Douglas county got $46,000 and Lancaster got $24,00. This year Doug- las county will get & small amount more than it dld at the last December apportion- ment. At the late session of the legislature a bill was introduced in the house to change the plan of apportionment 8o tiaat three-fourths of it would go according to the number of districts and one-fourth according to the number of puplls, This was done because some of the country districts thought Omaha was getting to much school money under the prescnt law. The Injustice of such a plan was seen, however, and the bill ‘was killed. Juror Sent to Jafl, . James A. Lee, a juror sitting on the case ‘Wwherein J. H.

The judge thought he sald five days' worth. The jury In the case was dismissed. Cell Material Lost Enroute.

His idea is for each state labor bureau to so organize the state In those districta where harvest hands are llable to be mcarce or where there Is liable to be a surplus, 8o that in each county there will be o party (o keep the .bureau in touch with the situation by reports sent in each week. From these reports the labor commissioner of each state will send & report each week to the other commis- sioners who are in the combine. In the communication Mr. Bush sugge that & meeting of the men interested be held in Koneas City some time In January or February. The plan grew out of the trouble the labor bureau had last summer in supply- Ing the demands for harvest hands, the { lack of which oceasioned the logs of many | | hundred acres of wheat in the states named, while at t! same time many of | districts of these states had a surplus | of men, but had no arrangements with the | Fallronds wherety the men could be moved | at reduc rates.

HOUNDS TAKE TRAIL SHORT DISTANCE Some Are of Opinion it is n Case of Abduetion, While Others Hold a Strongly to View She Has Been Murdered. YORK, Neb., Nov (8peclal.)—Mr. and Mre. 8. A. Thomas of Arborville, parents of Buelah Thomas, who was abducted last Bunday night, were here yesterday con- sulting with the county officiess and Detec- tive John Afflebaugh, hosmg to learn of some clew to the whereabouts of their daughter. The parents still firmly belleve their daughter was kidnaped. Owing to the mys- teriousness of the affair the grief stricken parents belleve that their daughter may have been murdercd. This s the opinion of a large number of the nelghbors of the Thomas' and searching parties are being formed in the nelghborhood, who will make a search of all the ravines and creeks. The parents are putting forth every efiort to find their daughter. They secured Dr. Fulton's bloodhounds from Beatrice and started them on the trail from where the girl last left her home, but the dogs refused to work. Then the bloodhounds from Hamlilton county were brought, who o0k up the trail and went In a western! direction to a bridge across a draw, where they stopped underneath and refused to B0 any further. The dogs were taken back to the house and again started, but cach time they came to the bridge and stopped. The parties in charge of thc bloodhounds belleve the young woman was taken to the bridge where there was a carriage in waiting, and owing to the dryness of the and there being so many other buggy tracks, it was impossible to trace her any further. A careful examination of the ground near the house and the door from which ! Miss Buelah Thomas left looks as if there had been a desperate struggle and it is supposed that when she came out of the house she was at once gagged and carried away, as there was no outery. Underneath the bridge are also tracks that would indicate men had been standing there. Miss Buelah Thomas is a beautiful 16- highly respected in the community and is the prosecuting wit- ness in a case of statutory assault, brought | @gainst John Blair, a married man and a neighboring farmer, whose case was to be tried this coming term of the district court. Friends of the Thomas' are highly in- censed and a pumber are loud in their denunclation of the abductlon and feeling there Is intense. It is the principal topic of conversation and every farmer in that township Is taking great interest in the case, With the exception of the work of the dogs, no trace of the missing girl has been discovered. The parents visiting York has led many to belleve that they may sus- picion that their daughter may have been taken here or near and kept captiye by her abductors.- A few affirm and believe that she has been most foully dealt with. John Blalr, the deferidant In the case of statu- tory assault, says he knows nothing about Buelah Thomas and hopes she will be found. MOTHER AND BABY ARE DEAD Burns Received by Mrs, Hutt and infant Wednesday Night Prove Fatal, FREMONT, Neb., Nov. 27.—(Special.)— Mrs. George Hutt dled Wednesday night from the effect of burns received while kindling the kitchen fire with kerosene a few hours before. Shortly before 6 o'clock she filled the cook stove with dry kindling and not knowing that there were any live coals In it, poured on' a liberal supply of kerosene. An immediate explosion fol- lowed. The top of the stove blew off and a sheet of flame enveloped the un- fortunate woman's chest and head, setting fire to her clothing, Near the stove was a crib in which her 2-year-gld baby girl lay asleep. The burning gases set fire to this, burning the baby o severely that she lived only about an hour. Mrs. Hutt ran out screaming for help. A nelghbor at once went to assist her and physiclans were summoned. Her face, neck and chest re- ceived the full force of the explosive gases and were horribly burned and scarcely a hope was entertained of her recovery. She lived until shortly after 9§ o'clock, surviving the baby about three hours.
