Traction Line Backs U The Lincoln Traction company decided today that it would not force patrons to walk a block from Eighteenth and O to Eighteenth and N streets to use a transfer | from the O to the South Eighteenth street line. This has been the practice of the company for some time, but so many pro- tests were filed with the raflway commis- sion and so many complaints heard that after a hearing the company notified the commission that it had backed up from its practice. This saved the commission the trouble of making an order in the case. Regiments tosFort Riley.

Shur-0n EV.E-GLASSES Beware of “Shur-On” Pirates | Office Holders Lock Their Doors, But Keep Busy | Washington's Birthday Proves Holi- | day for Few, Though There is Semblance of Festivity. (From a Staff OLN, Feb, 22.— spondent.) pecial.)—The anni- ve was observed generally at the state hou in varfous ways, according to the char- acteristies of the officeholder. For instance, the labor commissioner’s office was closed all day, as the commissioner belongs to the unfon. The office of the treasurer also was closed, for he could not pay out and take in money on a holiday. Several other offices were closed officially, though behind | closed doors busy cierks kept at work, per- mitting the heads of the department to hug the fires, clerks quit and permitted the heads of the departments to do the work. There was no inspiration for any one to go out and cut down a cherry tree unless that spirit came to Colonel Furse, private secretary to the governor. He had cause to cut down a cherry tree or do something Just as desperate. ow it happened that yesterday gave some Indication of -pretty weather for to- day, and acting on that‘hunch, the woman who does washing for the family. of Colonel Furse concluded the bright sunshine was the place in which to dry clothes, and so she passed up that nice dry, warm base- ment and carted those clothes out in the backyard and there she left them flopping playfully in the breezes. They were flopping there this morning, not playfully it is true, but angrily. As he huddled closer under the hlankets the colonel could hear the wind as it grew from the gentle “whe-0-0-0"" to the dignity of a siren whistle and in the mighty roar and bluster he heard the call of those clothes; he heard the rattle of the frozen seams and | the ripping off of buttons and he had visions of & search of the neighborhood for | what was his. Thus did Colonel Furse awake on this glad day of the nation's history The thought of Va ley Forge came (o him; then the thought of the cherry tree. And knowing that history said persons had lived through such weather he hied himselt forth and gathered !n that washing. Colonel Furse had left the house before the washerwoman returned and there were no casualities. He Is still belng urged to run for congress in the Fifth district.

CRIME WAS' AN ATROCIOUS ONE Convicted of Shooting Them Beating Death Propriector of a Pool Hall — Former Fort i Mena Soldier. | te AINSWORTH, Neb, Feb. 22.—(Special Telegram.)—The jury in the Davis murder case after deliberating ten hours and forly minutes this morning brought In a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and imposed the death penalty. Owing to the fact that it was a holiday the court could not set the date of execution nor the at- torney for the defendant file a motion for |a new trial, but he did ask for a day or | two in which to arrange his affairs, and | the court set February 25 as the time for | hearing of motions, etc. Walter Rifenburg, allas George Wilson, | convicted of the crime, received the ver- diet without a quiver and when taken back [to his cell In the county jail took up the | work of writing letters to relatives with- out the loss of a moment's time. Monday was given over to the arguments | of the attorneys of both sides, and it was found necessary to hold a night session of the court in order to finish. Judge Har- rington concluded his charge to the jury and placed the case in its hands at 8:20 p. | m. and at 7 o'clock this morning the jury announced to the balliff that a verdlct | had been reached and the judgeé and other | officers of the court were hastily sum- | moned despite the early hour and the in-| tense cold there were present in the court | room when the verdict was read about 100 people, With a number of women among them. | Crime Was Cold Blooded. The crime of which Wilson was sonvicted was a most atroclous one. J. Davls, ir., who conducted a pool hall, on the night of | December 27, last, closed his business at 11 | o'clock and started home, He was shot | | while passing through an alley near his | home, the bullet passing almost through his head. His pockets were robbed of | about $225. The body was then dragged to | | ® barn neaiby. where Davis must have partially revived. The murderer then took | | some sharp instrument and inflicted a number of serfous wounds about the head. Davis lived but an hour or two and never regained consciousness, Wilson was sus- pected and placed under arrest and when searched about $22 was found on his per- son, the most of it having been concealed in his shoes. At the trial, which occupled soven days, it was found that Wilson had deserted a wife and child at Lead, 8. D., and that he was also a deserter from the United States army at Fort Meade, S. D., having been a member of Troop L, Fourth cavalry. The evidence, though circumstan- tial, was partiuclarly damaging. Nine of the plecex of mcney found on Wilson con- tained blood spots, as did his hat and coat and the doorknob of his room at the hotel. Wilson or Rifenberg came from Perth Amboy, N. J., where a father and brother | now reside. |STRAIGHTENING THE ELKHORN Dis- | Bodrd of Directors of Dralnage triet Holds Meeting at Waterloo.
