and Other Local Official.
A prand jury invr.-tiiratior into rr
orts of itllced assaults upon and
naltrratmoiit of returning harvest
'lands at Sidney has lu-en asked for by
mnty Attorney A. K. Warren of
'heyenne county and the request has
t een granted hy the district court. The
;robe will start some time before the
late for the ojeninvc of the reguai
fal court term at Sidney, which is
October. 17
In a lettej- to Governor McKelvie,
. nforming him of these developments,
the county attorney says that he did
not at first give much credence to the
harpes of brutality made against some
of the police officers, but that facts
he has recently obtained, lead him to
think that there may be more founda
tion for the stories than has been sup
posed. An assault said to have been made
y a Union Pacific night watchman
,t Sidney on a young- harvest worker
vho happened to be member of the
American Legion caused that organ-
zation to take up the matter, with
the result that the watchman has been
.trrested and is being held for trail
n a criminal charge. The victim, ac
. orclinir to County Attorney Warren's
"etter, was "only temporarily" injured.
Nabbed a Hootlcggcr
According to the county attorney,
;he excitement which grew out of the
.alleged abusive treatment of men
.oming into Sidney on freight trains
has done some good in an indirect way.
One result, he says, was that some of
"he American Legion boys confessed
lhat they bought liquor from a Greek
vho runs a store, who wa.f arrested
and fined on two counts. Warren says
he will bring action tp close up the
place.
Relative to the accusations about
mistreatment of harvest workers, the
county attorney thinks they have been
much overdrawn for the most but says
lie is ready to go ahead and uncover
'he facts, whatever they may be.
"There has never been brought to
:his office a single complaint regard
ing the actions of the police officers
n this county," his letter asserts.

The original telegram which reach
ed the governor from a man claim
ing to have suffered abuse at the
hands of Sidney officials was sent
from Lodgepole, dated August 22, and
read as follows:
"August 21, while passing through
Sidney, Neb., law-abiding citizens re
luming from harvest field work, the
county sheriff and w ith five other men
overtook us on the Lincoln highway
Dutside of Sidney and without cause
attacked us, took $12 in money from
.is and a suit of clothes. There was
line of us and we are willing to swear
cut a w arrant to testify against them."
This was followed some days later
y a long protest and petition with j
signatures of 33 other men who claim- i
to have been mistreated or to have
vitnessed mistreatment of ime other
f their number. They declared
"hemselves to be peaceful and law
.ibiding citizens.
"Sheriff McDaniel an dother of-'
-ficials mistreated us mot cruelly,
.'lubbing and beating us with clubs".",
:he communication assorted. They
.if-ked protection again.-t assaults.
Report One Shot and Killed.
The statement further asserted that
-everal of the young men had been
vounded and that one had been shot
and killed. No credence is given to
"his last assertion, nothing has been
iieard from any other source in regard
o a killing.
A letter was written to Sheriff Mc
Daniel enclosing copy of the first tele
gram as soon as it was received. In
reply he made a complete denial of the
.negations and said they were without
foundation.
Mrs. Francis Knox, a woman report-
or themselves unreasonable, that it
would be well if a reduction of 20 per

were undertaken, except on hones
