AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Coroner’s Jury Listens to Testimony of Death of Harry Long. TWO0 MEN HELD FOR ASSAULT Poles Who Injured John and Trinl—n Doll Must Paving "We, the coroner’s jury, sitting in Inquest over the body of Harry Long, lying dead, express our judgment In the case In that we hereby find Harry Long came to his death by a gunshot ‘wound, sald shot sup- posed 1o be fired by the hand of Wesley McBride on the 2ith day of November, 1909, about the hour of 3 p. m., in the city of South Omaha, Douglas county, Nebraska." This verdict was signed by W. P. Adkins, foreman of the jury, and J. F. Shultz, J. J Ryan, R. D. Weir, P. J. Martin and O. E. Bruce, following the coroner's inquest Fri- day at South Omaha over the death of Harry Long. The examinafion ‘of witnesses was con- ducted by the county attorney, James Eng lish, and the defense was represented by J. M. Van Dusen. The witnesses were Andrew and Louis Jounschiet, Fred Hen derson, Leheigh McFarland, J. F. Marvel, Henry Elstelder, Ifr. E. L. De Lanney and Captain P. H. Shields. Andrew Jounschiet was with Wesley Mo- Bride and Harry Long from the time they left their homes until they had tramped over the river bottoms for some hours and had made a campfire in the willows oppo- site the foot of Missouri avenue. There he left the other two boys and returned home They had spent the afternoon hunting and shooting at marks with the revolver which ‘Wesley McBride carried. He sald Wesley told him he had bought the revolver the night before at a store on N street and with it a belt, scabbard and box of eart- ridges. Boys Meet Harry Long. Most of the time was spent shooting at bottles and tin cans, Wesley McBride and the Jounschiet boy left the home of the latter early In the afterncon and on the way met Harry Long. Harry Long went with them from that point, but without any special Invitation. On the sandbar near the place where the shooting occurred, Jounschlet sald Wesley McBride said sev- eral times, “Shall I shoot him?" indicating Harry Long. He seemed to say it In a joking way and laughed when he said it. The Jounschiet boy sald he thought he was only joking, but told him ‘no” and not to shoot anybody. When Jounschiet last gaw them, Harry Long had kindled u fire and was gathering dry wood to keep it going, and Wesley MoBride was seated by the fire. Fred Henderson and Leheigh McFar- land discovered the body of Long about 3 p. m., while they were hunting rabbits in the willows. When they came upon the body they were first attracted by seeing the hat and shoes. They approached the boy and found him lying on his face with his hand pressed on one of the wounds in his choek. He was dead, but the fire was still burning and seemed to have been recently rekindled. They saw no one about the body. On the ground for a distance of thirty feet were marks of blood and evidence where the boy had twice fallen and finally crawled along on the ground. On the trees up to the height of four feet were blood stalns aiso Indicating that the boy had been on his feet part of the time. These two boys gave the alarm. Officer Marvel corroborated the circumstances of the find- ing of \ body and toid of tracing foot prints on the sandbar leading finally to ward South Omsba. Boys See Wesley McBr Louts Jounschiet sald he and another boy met Wesley McBride about 4 o'clock und that he was pale and asked It he looked pale. He told them he was ill and went on toward home. Elstelder told of finding the gun in what appeared to be & washing machine on the back porch. He ‘gave his opinion of the mental condition ‘of Wesley McBride, also. | Lr. DeLanney conducted the autopsy. P. H. Shields told that on the way to the police station Wesiey McBride told of the shooting and said the first shot was an accident. The attorney for the defense did not enter into any lengthy’ cross-examination of the witnesses. ‘the jury made up its verdict in a few minutes. J. H. Van Dusen, representing McBride, was the only one appearing, neither Wes- ley MeBride nor any memoer of his fam- inly being present. Probable Outcome. County Attorney Engilsh said after the Learing: “Lhis Is‘one of (hose unfortunate cases which cannot be passed over lightly, and of course there will have to be a hear ing before the courts. 1 presume a com- plaint with the' proper Eharge will soon be flled. It will probably be second de- gree murder. In that case the defense may have a hearing on the present state of the boy's mind afier the prelimina trial, or If mentgl affliction s 0 be ihe defense that may be advanced at the triai before the district court. The name of the dead boy Is Harry Long, « confusion having resulted on the night of the death. Two Poles Arralgned. While walting for the coroner's\jury in the Long case, the county attorney sub: mitted a complaint and arraigned Joe Sesurek and Joe Caja, on charge of assault with intént (o do great bodily injury. They were charged With assaulting John Doll on the night of November 2, and fractur- ing his ckull, beside laying open the brain, with a hatchet. They were said to have Dbeen Incensed against Doll because the lat- ter had ‘had them arrested for breaking a gun and for assault in connection. They ere tried.in the former suit .before Judge Culdwell and fined §25 and costs. The ani- mus origmating In tbe trial and the pre- vious quarrel ptirred them up to the last attack against Doli while he was seated at Fat Women, This Month Should Interest Yo This Kind of weather is the very kina fat people should take advantage of and| remove thelr fat without any fear of ex hausting themselve: Go to your dragaist, the supper table at the home of Joe Ma- dura, where he resided. Doll has since been confined in the South |Omaha hospital, ‘where he has been slowly recovering in spite of the fracture of the skull and the laceration of his brain. He is about able at present to appear against the twn alleged assallants. These men are still prisoners at the South Omaha jail. They will be given their pre- liminary trial early in the week. City Clerk Turns Over Bids. The city clerk turned over the bids for the numerous paving contfacts to the city engineer for tabulation. The ely clerk held the bids untll a record could be made of them in the journal of the council proceedings. The ety engineer has his office force working on the details of tabulation ‘and this work will probably be completed within a very few d: Blue prints will be struck of the tabulations and from them the engineer will prepare the total sheets by which it will be pos- sible to determine the cost of any of the several classes of pavin Services fn the Churches.

The scentist atter cold calculation says that the gift of a life cannot be more than a gift of $4,100. That is something for every person who loves his own life—or somebody's else—to think about. The sclentist adds that he must be in his prime, % years old, to be worth $4100. The chances favor his being worth only $2900, for that Is the value of the average life in the United States. How many would sell themselves to death for 82,9007 Almost every one Indignantly denies that he would sel. himself so cheaply. The sclentist replies that in 1907 42 per cent of the deaths in: the United Siates were unnecessary at that time. They could have been prevented or postponed If the victims had known what they might know about the care of thelr health. These heartless facts have been glven publieity by the United States government in a pamphlet by Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale university on “National Health,” Prof. Fisher has reduced life, death and iilness to a matter of dollars and cents in an effort to prove the economic wisdom of teaching the Inhabltants of the Uniteq States how to live long and keep well. He bases his computation of the valus of the average life on a table prepared after the study of similar tables made In England. His table is founded on the es- timate that the average worker n Amer- lea, considering all gradvs, from railroad presidents to day laborers, earns 163 a year. His value is then the capital that would carn $2 a year at prevalling in- terest rates, averages as to length of lite and revenue-ylelding activity belng con- sideréd. A youth with 40 years of work jahead Is worth much more than an oid man near rejirement, Calculating from this, Prof. Fisher finds a baby just born Is worth $%. Mar is most valuable at 3, when he reaches $4,100. Then he de- clines, until at 80 he is only an expense, and his value is placed at $700 less than nothing. Such Is the trivial worth of the Individ- {ual lite, but the grand total value of all |the 86,500,000 of us Is $250,000,000,000, making the men, women and children worth more |than all the other patonal wealth, How many of us would trade our individual lives for the cash value of the lot of us? Bug sickness and preventable death come |in and take a toll approaching every year [42.000.000,000. They steal what we say we (would not give up for millions. Of those who die 42 per cent might have lived if they had profited by what is known about the care of health, There were 1,600,000 deaths in the United States in 1907. Of these 630,000 migit have been prevented or postponed, and by such postponement 630,000 lives, worth on the average $1,700 each, saved. In other words, unnecessary deaths every year cost the nation $1,000,000,00 in capi- talized workers' earnings. In addition to that 1,000,000 workers are ill every year, and the wages lost during their idleness amounts to $600,000,000. lliness and death also collect a heavy toll In the bills of doctorg nurses, druggists and undertakers. The’ United States com- missioner of labor finds that the average American workingman's family epends $27 |@ year for the care of death and sickness. Since there are 17,000,000 families in the nation, the total cost of doctors, drugglsts, nurses and undertakers is $10,000,000.

PAUL, Minn., Dec. 8.—Bartiett Rich- ards, president of the Nebraska Land and Feeding company; Will G. Comstock, vice | president of the same concern, and Charles C. Jameson, the secretary and treasurer, with a number of others who were inter- ested in alleged land frauds against the government, will have to serve jall sen- tences -anging from six months to one year and pay fines of from $500 to $1,600, accord- ing to the opinion in the case here today handed down by Judge Hook of the United States court of appeals. The cases came to the appeliate court from the United States district court of Nebraska. The Nebraska Land and Feeding company ran their cattle on what Is known as the Spade ranch In Nebraska and controlled several ranges, and had at one time as much as 800,00 acres of land, much of it belonging to the government, under fence. Lawyers Not Deeided. R. 8. Hall, the principal attorney for the defendants in the Richard, Comstock, Jame- son and Triplett cases, has not been offi- clally advised of the declsion of the cir- cult court of appeal “1.do not know what we shall do,” sald | Mr. Hall, ‘until we can see the decision. All we know is from the press dispatches. We are completely at sea in the present status of the case, as I have not heard a word from St. Paul relative to the matter.” | W. F. Gurley, of Gurley & Woodrough, attorneys for T. W. Huntington, Ami B. Todd and Fred Hoyt, said: “We do not xnow from the press dis- patches whether our clients are Included in the decision, affirming the Comstock and Richard ‘cases. ~ Consequently we do not know what further steps we shall take.” “We have heard nothing further regard- ing the case,” sald United States District Attorney Goss,” than appears in the press dispatches. I do not know that the, Hunt- Ington, Todd and Hoyt cases are included in the decision, aithough the lssues In- volved were exactly the same as In the Comstock, Richards, Jameson and Triplett cases. We have wired to St. Paul to get turther information as to the full scope of the decision, but owing to the absence of Clerk Jordan, we have not yet re- celved a reply. Court of Last Resort. “The only recourse now left for the de- tendants ingluded In the decision is to ap- ply to the supreme court of the United States for @ writ of certiprari, which Is in & measure equivalent to\an appeal from the declslon of the ciredit court of ap- peals. Whether this will be done is a matter that remains wholly with the at- torneys for the defendants.” The argument for the appeal before the clreult court of appeals in May was par- ticipated in on benalf of the defendants by Judge John Lacey of Wyoming, C. J. Hughes, jr., of Denver, present United States senator from Colorado, with R. §. Hall of Omaha. The government's inter- ests were looked after by District Attorney Charles A. Goss and Speclal Assistant At- torney General S. R. Rush. In the trial of the case in Omaha, the defendants, Richards, Comstock, Jameson and Triplett, were represented by R. 8. Hall, John F. Stout and H. C. Brome of Omaha and Judge A. W. Crites of Chadron. The government end was looked after by District Attorney Goss and Assistant At- torney General Rush. Down Come Iences. After a long fight both in the circuit and dlstrict courts of the United States Com- stock and Richards were compelled to re- move thelr fences. Irving L. Baxter was at the time of the initial proceedings in the case Unit:d States district attorney, A. W. Lano as- sistant district attorney, T. L. Mathews Urited States marshal, and S¢lvesier R. Rush special assistant district® attorney. An agreement was reached between the United States district attorney and Rich- ord S Hall, the principal attorney for Comstock and Richards, whereby the de- tendants, W. G. Comstock and Bartlett Richards, should enter a plea of gulity to the original indictment, assurances having been given the land department that the unlawful fences had been or were being removed. The plea of guilly was accepted and laté that evening, some time carly in Decem- ber, 1906 the accused men were arraigned before Judge W, H. Munger for sentence.| Neither of the accused men had anything to say why sentence should not be pro- nounced. Mr. Hall, their attorney, asked that the court grant a minimum sentence, as, owing to the prominence of the nc: cused and the fact that their offense at the best was but a technical one, the ends of justice would be amply subserved by a nominal senterice. To this proposition the district attorney acceded. Baxter and Mathews Go Out. Judge Munger thereupon sentenced Will G. Comstock and Bartlett Richards to pay & fine of $300 each, and to be “confined in the custody of the United States marshal for six hou The, fine was promptly paid. Marshal | Mathews wi not In the court room at the | time of passing sentence, but reached the | court house a short while afterwards, even before Mr. Hall and his clients had left | the bullding. Being Informed of the sen- | tence, he turned the two men over to the care of Mr. Hall as special cutodian, apd | they were taken to the Omaha club and | entertained there for the six hours limit | of thelr sentence. A report was sent out that night by | telegraph that Mr. Hall and his cfents | were being entertained at the theater and | were having a good time gencrally.

Appeal Pending Since May. The now famous Nebraska land fraud case was argued in the court of appeals in May of last year and has been since pend- ing. The decision is considered one ‘of the most important affecting Nebraska handed down in some time, the case beng the largest land case in the history of this state and requiring thirty days in which 1o try. The land company was made up of Bart- lett Richards, Will G. Comstock, and C. C. Jameson, a clerk. Along with the of- ficers there were indicted Thomas W. Huntington, ‘a son/.of Prof. DeWitt C. Huntington, former chancellor of Nebraska Wesleyan university; former United States Commissioner Fred Hoyt, A.'B. Todd, an ol soldier, and Aqui'la Triplet, who acted as an agent for the larid company. The company held possession of several hundred thousand acres of government 1and’ which, it is alleged, they fenced in under the name of Spade ranch, = The operations of the company, It is claimed, were extensive.and enormous. By, means of fraudulent entries the government was defrauded out of much of its land In the western portion of the state. The men were Indicted under the same charge, but there were two separate trials. Richards, Comstock, Jameson and Triplet were tried together, and Hoyt, ‘Todd and Hauntington together, Year in Jail for Principals. Messrs. Richards and Comstock Wwere fined $1,600 each and sentenced to one year In the Douglas county jail; Jameson and Triplet were fined $500 each and sen- tenced to serve elght months in jail; Hunt- ington and Todd $1,00 each and three months In jail and Hoyt $1,00, and remain in jail untitl the fine was paid. The men, along with F. M. Walcott and James Reld, were indicted by the govern- ment on June 14, 1806, charged with con- spiracy to defraud the United States out of title, use and possession of vast tracts of public ‘ands, and with subornation of perjury in procuring entryman to file on these lands in Sheridan and Cherry coun- ties, Nebraska. In the years 1804 and 1905. Richards, Comstock and Jumeson were president, vice president and secretary- treasurer, respectivery, of the Nebraska Land and Feeding company. Triplet, who lives in Alliance, Neb., acted as representa- tive of these men. Tri s Continue Long. The trial of the first Eroup was begun November 19, there being twenty-four days of aetuul trial. The four defendants were found guilty as charged; Walcott, who wag tried in the group wal declared mot gullty. The four were found gullty of thirty-six of the thirty-elght counts In the indictment which, by the way, was the largest in- dictment ever returned in the United States courts In this district. It contained over 50 typewriten pages and was of forty counts, two of which were dropped before trial of the first group was begun. The Jury was out but two hours for its de liberations. The trial of the first group was before Judge W. I. Munger, while Judge T. Munger presided at the trial of the second group, begun on Aprjl § 1%7. The men Huntington, Todd, Hoyt and James Reld were In this group, but Reid was not tried This trial lasted but ten days, the verdict of guilty being returned on April 18, Sentence upon the men found gullty on December 21, 1903, that, being the first group, was pronounced on March 18, 1907 while those of the second group were sen- tenced on June 20 af that year The cases may be'taken to the United tates supreme court, if & writ of errer is allowed by the high tribunal, but In such cases the chance iy extremely Te- mote.
