SENTENCE SUSPENDED
BY TELEGRAM.
Judge W. A. Crites Temporarily Free for
Contempt of Court.
Tim supreme court of Nebraska has
adopted the plan of suspending sen
tenee by telegraph. This was done
last Saturday night but no publicity
was given till reporters began to in
quire about the new practice. In the
old clays it was customary for the par
ties applying to hire a special engine
and come to Lincoln but Judge A. W.
Crites of Chadron got a suspension by
wire a Unit midnight Saturday. Judge
Crites, an attorney and former district
judge, was fined $10 for contempt of
court by Judge Harrington of the dis
trict court. The alleged contempt
consisted in examining a witness over
the objection of the court. Judge
Crites was committed to jail Friday
and immediately sent an application
and bond to Chief Justice Holcomb
who immediately wired a suspension.
A.. W. Crites was fined for contempt
of court, stay of execution and bail de
nied, and ordered imprisoned for a
time in the jail of Dawes county. A
stay of execution has since been allow
ed by Chief Justice Holcomb. The
occurrence was while II. F. Pitman
was being examined as a witness in a
civil case. It is reported by the oilicial
reporter as follows:
Q. "Did you advise Slattery at that
time that you would hold his firm re
sponsible lor t he price of the deed,
which was the sum of loo?"
1'laintilT objects us incompetent, ir
relevant and immaterial, leading and
suggestive.
The court: "That is sustained.
Counsel will not insist upon any fur
ther examination of this witness as to
any bargain, claimed bargain or any
delivery, or claimed delivery of the
deed referred to in the evidence; that
this witness, evidence will be confined
solely to his defense according to his
pleadings and as to the value of the
service claimed to have been rendered
the plaintiff by Reynolds & Slattery."
To this ruling the defendant, l'it
man, excepts.
To this ruling the defendants, Rey
nolds & olattery, except."
Judge Crites: "Mr. Reporter, that 1
may not transgress, I wish that you
would read that admonition the court
gave me." (The same is read.)
Judge Crites: "Mr. l'itman have you
ever received back your deed?"
Plaintiff objects as incompetent, ir
relvent and immaterial.
The court. "Sustained. And coun
sel will not insist upon any further ex
amination in regard to this matter."
Judge Crites: "1 have one more
tiuesuon mat a uesire iua.su which l
do not think is in violation of the
order of the court."
The court: " v ery well. '
Judge Crites: "Have you ever been
paid for this deed?."
The court: "Judge Crites you are
in contempt of court, and 1 tine you
10, and you shall pay the fine or be
committed to jail."
Judge Crites: "I will ask time to
prepare astatementin defense and for
a stay of pn ceedings."
The court: "Overruled."
Judge Crites: "And to have the
records straight, I will state that I
have no intention of committing any
contempt of court; that my purpose
wassimply to protect the interest of
my clients, both of them, as I had a
right to do, and this question was not
in relation to any deli very of the deed,
or of anv bargain for it, and therefore
was notin the direction of the court."
State Journal.
The above fully explains the cause
(?) for which Judge Crites was sent to
jail at Chadron by Judge Harrington.
The Journal reproduces the article
and in all candor asks the bar in gen
eral, whether every lawyer in the state
might not be fined for contempt of
court based upon such a record? The
Journal is informed that upon the
court's refusal to stay proceedings, six
of the leading and wealthiest citizens
of Chadron promptly went upon Judge
Crites' bond for suspension of sent
ence, pushing a hearing in supreme
court.
Orange Blossoms.
A very pretty wedding occurred at
the residence of A. C. Reinhackle in
this city at 4 o'clock Sunday after
noon, May 14, 1905. when Mr. George
E. Stamm of Havelock and Miss Olive
Long of Lincoln were united in holy
wedlock. The ceremony was perform
ed by Canon II B. Burgess of St.
Luke's chnrch. The eroom is well
known in this citv, having been born
and reared here and learned the trade
of boilermaker at the local shops. For
the last few years be has been em
ployed at the Havelock shops. The
bride is very a handsome and accomp
lished young lady, and is very popular
in social circles in her home city. Mr.
and Mrs. Stamm departed Monday
morning for Sterling, Colo., on a wed
ding trip. Several out-of-town guests
were present
A "Cheeky" Trick.
We note up Main Street in front of
a well-known business house a large
painted streamer "Piano Sale!" A
Hospe & Co., the reliable music dealer
of Omaha, sent representatives here
last week, and besides furnishing the
papers with a large advertisement of
their special sale of pianos, they also
flooded the country with circulars.
Now, in comes a party to try to reap
the benefits of judicious advertising.
We don't want any of the readers of
the Journal to confound the upper
house with that of A. Hospe & Co., at
Mrs. Street's millinery store. Hospe &
Co. are the people to deal with, and
you will do well to bear this in mind.

PASSING OF HENRY J. DAVIS
TERRIFIC CUT IN PRICES!
This is not a sale of cheap pianos,
but strictly standard high-grade makes
at prices and terms that appeal to the
shrewdest and mo it skeptical piano ex
pert. Among them are such well
known makes as the Knabe, Kimball,
Sweetland, Ilallet & Davis, Wesser
Bros., Cable-Nelson, Hospe, Cramer
and others, in the latest designed
cases, all of the finest veneers.

a great deal more than you fully rea
lize. The A. Hospe Co., in buying in
large quantities for spot cash, coupled
with over 30 years experience in judg
ing values, are in a position to sell
pianos at dealers' prices. In addition
to this, during this advertising sale,
the factories make special allowances
on each piano sold, and you get the
benefit of all this.
A Saving of $100 or More
should be an incentive for you to take
advantage of this grand opportunity
even though you had no intentions of
getting a piano for months to come.
You Take No Chances.
The pianos we represent have stood
the test and are now used by the great
est artists as well as in the finest col
leges and conservatories in both this
country and Europe. Many have been

a century. A factory guarantee, as
well as our own, goes with every in
strument. We give this in writing.

your family an opportunity for a musi
cal education while paying a little
each month. It also means a safe in
vestment to those who might not oth

to purchase outright. It accmomodates
the more fortunate who deny them
selves this comfort on account of not
wishing to disturb their present in
vestments. Our very existence is sus
tained daily by the necessaries of life
in a manner that might be termed an
installment plan.
School Closes
in a few weeks, giving your children
an opportunity during vacation to
study music and accomplish, perhaps.
more in a few months than otherwise
in years.

per cent on your purchase. Pianos
that are sold all over the world at
prices ranging from $250 to $500 go un

One ot the Earlier Pioneer Settlers
Southeast Nebraska.
in
Henry James Davis was bom Decem
ber 21, 128, in Monongalia -ountf
West Virginia. Died on Tuesday,
May t, 1H05, at his home, two miles
southeast of Union, Cass county,
Nebraska.
After many months of patient
suffering another of our worthy citi
zens and pioneer settlers bowed to the
will of his Maker, and that kind and
benevolent old gentleman Henry J.
Davis has U'cn summoned from the
ranks of Nebraska's pioneers and his
name recorded in a register that Is
kept and guarded by the Divine Rec
order. The news of Mr. Davis' death
was not at all unexpected, for his con
dition the past few weeks was such
that made the family and friends real
ize that death must soon come, yet
this knowledge did not diminish the
deep sorrow when the end came. Mr.
Davis had been an unusually strong
and healthy man during his younger
days, in fact, until his 7th birthday,
Dec. 21st last year, that day being the
beginning of his illness. From that;
date he gradually lost strengt h, and
four weeks ago he lost hope of recovery
and calmly awaited the summons for
which he had no fear or regret save
for the sad parting with his lamily, for
whom he had greatest elleetion.
The funeral services were held at
the residence at. II o'clock a. in, yester
day, Rev. M. S. Font eh being the otll
ciating minister. Long before the ap
pointed hour the friends had congre
gated to pay their last tributes of re
pect to t he beloved neighbor whom
they had known so many years, and
when the funeral cortege started on
the sad journey from the home the re
mains were accompanied by an unus
ually large number of people from
various parts of Cass and o to-: coun
ties. At the cemetery just west of
this village a Ijcautilul and impressive
burial service took place, rendered by
the Masonic Lodge No. 2 of Nebraska
City, deceased having been a member
of that lodge for many years, and there
were a so present about fifty others or
the Masonic Order. The honorary pall
bearers were P.V. Foster, J. W. Pitt-
man, M. II. Shoemaker, (J.N. La line,
Keuter Foster and 11. 1. Davis. The
active pall bearers were Charles Reed,
A. Li. liecker, l.arsh uuiman, wiinam
Wolfe, J. A. Nicholson and w. A.
Taylor.
Henry J. Davis had been a resident
of this vicinity since August 13, 1857,
having crossed the river at Nebraska
City on that date and pre-empted a
uuarter-section near what was then
Old Wyoming town southeast of here,
and later he sold it and In l7z pur
chased the tine farm on which he ever
since made his home. He was first
married to Miss Llizabeth Hughes
who died in 185!, there being no sur
viving children of this marriage. May
28, 1801, he was married at Nebraska
City to Miss Irene Lardhill, who sur
vives him, and of this marriage me
children living are Mrs. Klsie Kall
mann of Dallas. Texas, Mrs. Docia
Conrad of Union, and Miss Ina Davis
who remains at home. Asa husband,
a father and citizen. Mr. Davis possess
ed the excellent qualit ies of kindness,
generosity and loyalty, a man in whom
everybody had full confidence ami a
man whose honor and integrity never
were tainted with even the breath of
suspicion, j lie enure communiiy
mourns the death ol this kino arm
nobleman, and all unite in extending
tin most sincere sympathy to the
bereaved relatives. Union Ledger.
The MurdocK "Squabble."
The Journal received a communica
tion from Murdock last week giving
an account of the trouble between Dr.
I. D. Jones and the Leis brothers. In
the first place the article was not
signed, and in the second place we do
not care to engage in any controversy
regarding the matter, for the simple
reason that reports regarding the same
aresomewhatcomplicating. Rut it was
wrong for us to state that the whole
disturbance was the outgrowth of the
saloon question, when it was another
matter altogether. After district
court, which meets next Monday, we
can tell more about it, as the case will
come up during that term.
