Ten Years for Robbery, Charles Booten and Roy Raymond must serve’ thelr ten years in the penitentiary for the robbery of Harry Miller, according to the decree of the supreme court. These two men were sent up from Omaha. Both pleaded an alibl, but the testimony of a contral girl was too much for the story of the two men. A brother of one of the men and several acquaintances testified that they were in Council Bluffs at 10 o'clock, an hour before the robbery. Two women called the men up by telephone and made a date with them to meet them at a cer- tain street cogher. The' women sald that they met thé 'men about 13 o'clook. The records of “central,” however showed that the call for the men went through at 1:0 a g J Stary, whohas previously be#h held up by the men, also testified that he saw the men hold up Miller, posi- tively Identifying Booten and describing iyrond closely.

The farmers of Nebraska are threatened with the loss of their surplus corn «rop worth about $12,600,00, according to the atement of Prof. E. G. Montgomery of the state university beore the Commorcial club Saturday noon, and these same farm- ers can prevent this if they will spend one or two days in making-sample tests of the germinable quallties of thair seed corn. Prof. Montgomery detailed the condiicns in different parts of the state, commented fore the club indicated a greater harmony of interests between rural and urban Inter- ésts than once existed and also explained in interesting manner exactly how sced tests are made and what the results mean The early fall of 1900 was wet, sald L'rof. Montgomery. There was no weathsr to dry the corn in most parts ol the state and when freezing weather came on ihe ccrn was not dry enough to withstand it. Corn which contains from 10 to 16 per cent of molsture can stand frequent freexing With- out injury. If it contains 20 per cent one severe freeze will Injure it, and if the mol ture In the grain is as high as 35 per cent freezing weather kills' the germ. 044 Feéllows Celebrate. W. L.

Plerce, Whao Came Here in 1848, w, NEBRASKA CITY, Feb. 26.—(Special.)—A move 1s on foot and & good qum has been raised for the purpose of erecting a monu- ment over te grave of Charles W. Pierce, who was perhaps one of the earliest set- tlers in this state. He came here in 1848 as a surveyor and laid out'the greater por- tion of the southern and eastern part of the state and remained here up to the time of his/death, last year. He was county and often city surveyor ever since the city and county were organized and prior to that'time worked mostly for the govern- ment. His friends deem it only fitting that & monument be erected over his last rest- ing place to his memory. It is thought a sufticient amount will be raised by spring for that purpose and the shaft will be ordered and placed in position as soon as possible. DRUGGISTS LOSE LICENSES Action Following Reports of Illegnl Liguor Sales. NEBRASKA CITY, Feb, 26.—(Speclal)— At a meeting of the city council last even- Ing all of the druggists of this city, five in number, .were asked to appear and show cause why thelr permits to sell intox- lcants should not be cancelled.. The drug- glsts appeared and all claimed to have complied with the law, filed their reports, showing the sales made and.asserted they were living up to the law, despite the fact that, the city attorney reported in favor of cancelling their permits, because of the large amount of Intoxicants which the reports showed they had sold. The meeting was an interesting one and some time was spent by both sides talking freely on the subject. Finally a vote.on a motion to cancel all of their licenses was taken and four councilmen voted for and four against. Mayor L. F. Jackson cast the declding vote in favor of canceling the licenses. The druggists were then glven two weeks to dispose of what wet goods they might have on hand. Today & num- ber of drugglsts have consulted attorneys and clalm they have been advised to con- tinue the business just the same as before the action of the council and pay not the least attention to them. Mayor Jackson has given notice that if the druggists sell any intoxicants after the expiration of the time that he will Instruct the ity attorney to file complaints against them. From the present outlook - there promises to be a merry war over the action of the council. The druggists were granted permits from May 1, 189, to May 1, 1910, and the council id not offer to refund them any of the 3% which they paid for the permit. This mat- ter had been under consideration by the couneil for the last two months, TRAIN RUNS OVER BRAKEMAN J. 0. Barnell Killed on Burlington at Kearney Near Orowded Platform. KEARNEY, Neb., Feb. 3.—(Special Tele- gram.)—J. O. Barnell, brakeman on the was killed near the Burlington depot at 8:3 this morning. Ho one saw the aceident occur, although the depot platform was packed with passengers ready to leave on the train. It is probable that he slipped and fell under the wheels As the train backed into the station. Hix right lex and thigh were broken and the splintered bone shot into his body. His brain was also plerced. Bammell lived in Kearney for years, but recently moved to Aurora.

Lilllan Breese made this statement to County Attorney English in the South Omaha city jail immediately following the murder. When the girl 'came upon the stand In the trial she made statements at at this time. This first assertion the state | backed up by offering in evidence the type- written copy of the girl's statement taken in the jall The defense opposed introduction of this written statement and was overruled. The supreme court now holds that ‘‘a written statement not taken in court and later re- pudiated is not original evidence " The testimony of the girl on the point | invelved was of the utmost importance in | the case, because according to the state- ments made to the county attorney she then swore that Masauredis shot Offlcer Lowery before the latter Had pulled his revolver. On the witness stand and in district court she denled ever having said this and asserted that exactly the opposite state of affairs was the case; that the policeman shot first at the Greek, who then whipped out his own gun and fired at the policeman. The decislon was written by Chlef Jyg. tice Reese. The chief justice sald: “Where a statement of substantially all of the facts of the killing of a Luman belng and for which a party’ is on trial for murder, is prepared by the county at- torney and signed by a witness of the tragedy, and upon the trial the testimony of the witness contradicts a part of such statement and denles its correctness, it is reversible error to permit the whole of ®uch statement (o be read to the jury."” In his opipion, Chlef Justicy Reese ex- cused the witness, Lillan Bréese, for the disorepancy between the written state- | ment she signed for the county attorney | and her direct testimony given at the trial. The chief justice sald the girl had no knowledge of legal terms, and as the state- ment was three pages long it would be natural for her not to understand all of it. He also called attention to the fact that she had been kept in jail from the time of the shooting untll the trial without being permitted to see an attorney. The court sald it would not pass upon the suffiency. of the evidence to secure the conviction, but would pass solely on the one question of error in the triai, which was presented. | John Masauredis shot Officer Edward | Lowrey just & few days more than a vear |ago and the death of the policeman pre- | cipitated the anti-Greek riots in South Omaha, & few Inflammatory speeches at a mass meeting assiting in fanning the flames. The policeman had gone to the room of the girl, where, she, her brother of 6 years and the Greek had assembled, about 9 p. m. The officer started to taks the three to the police station, when a knife sheath fell upon the floor. Lowrey then took a long and murderous looking knife from the overcoat pocket of the Greek. The party had hardly gone a block toward the station when the shooting began. After the death of the officer the Greek ran back to the same room and hid himself under the bed, where he was arrested. Masuaredis came on for trial in distric court in the middle of May and a verdict was returned against him with the death penalty attached on the 25th of that month, This was only & day after the first ar- rests in the Union Pacific train robbery, which had occurred a week before, and instead of the infliction of the death penalty on the Greek rousing interest, as it or- dinarily would have done, it was submerged in the excitement pertaining to the taking of the bandits Masuaredis was sentenced a month later by Judge Sutton. His attorneys, J. M. Macfarland and J. M. Ralt, argued a mo- tion for a new trial at some length and were overruled. The appeal to the supreme court followed in due order. “Naturally we are pleased,” said Mr. Ralt. “I thought we would get a new trial on one or other of the questions we ralsed a8 to Instructions as well as on this point. But It does not make much difference elther way. I suppose we shall have a trial in the course of a month or so, and the Greek will be brought back from Lincoln & little before the trial, whenever it comes.” WINS IN Contest from Syracuse on Labor Question.
