Twins, the

next Saturday, Sept. 12th, had a funny
! joKe which turned out to be on them

keep. While the twins were playing
iDuluth. Minn., a short time ago and

one of the bovs went to the dining I
room and had "his supper before the ;

came the other and the head waiter ;
looked at him verv mysteriously and
seated him at a table remarking he ;
never before seen a man who could eat
two suppers. The twin told some J
drummers at the table who when they
heard the joke howled with delight
thinking the joke was on the waiter.
But next morning on leaving the land
lord had II. C. Lyman charged with
two suppers, he protested but the clerk
who was a green country boy said it
was on the book and he had to collect
the money.
The drummers all had another laugh
as the landlord could not be found to
straighten the matter out. So the
Twins had a laugh too remarking that's
nothing we got tangled up worse than
that and left for the train.

The race for the fine piano which M.

veloped into a contest of the country vs.
the town and the country seems to be
taking the lead in the fight. For some

strong bid for the prize and led the way
but during the vacation months the
country folks got together and Martin

There is still four months almost in
which to win this handsome prize and
c'zens save their coupons
and poll them the school can still win.
As it now stands this fine instrument
stands a good chance of getting out of
town. Save your coupons and vote for
your favorite either school, church or
individual.
When you buy fall goods remember
the coupons all count and Mr. Fanger
has the goods in stock. Buy now and
get the coupons in time.

Struck Kis Mother.
A complaint was made in Police Court
this morning by Chief of Police Fitz
gerald against Ward Barr who is charg
ed with beating his mother and con
ducting himself in an off ensive manner.
From accounts received it would appear
that young Barr hit his mother upon
the cheek raising a large bruise. He
also made himself very obnoxious to her
and her neighbors with the result that
the police was informed of his conduct.
At the time this was written Barr had
not been taken into custody.
ANSWER FILED
BY DEFENDANTS
Many Allegations are Denied
and Gihets Admitted.
The answers in the celebrated dam
age case of Henry K. Gering vs. John
M. Leyda, C. A. Pawls and Sam Biggs,
have been filed by two of the defend
ants in the office of Clerk of the Court
Pobertson. The answer of Mr. Leyda
I is a very brief document and in it he
denies every allegation of the plaintiffs
petition excepting that the plaintiff
sold intoxicating liquor on Sunday, July
5th., 1908, to the defendant Biggs. Mr.
Leyda asks that the action against hirn
be dismissed.
Mr. Pawls' answer is much more
verbose and goes into details as to his
actions in the cause of trouble. He ad
mits that the plaintiff is a member of
the firm of Gering & Co. and that he
sold liquor to Biggs upon Sunday, July
5th, 190S. Admits that he filed the
complaint against the plaintiff and that
a warrant was issued thereon. Admits
the preliminary examination and dis
charge of the plaintiff in this action by
County Judge Beeson, and that the de
fendant Leyda was a surety for the ap
pearance of the defendant Biggs.
Mr. Pawls then alleges that he was
and has been county attorney for this
county for the past three years and a
half, and as a part of Ids duties as
county attorney he .-l.oi.ld investigate
and prosecute criminal cases. While
i no was siich i-oui.tv attorney, he was u.-
fornied !
urmed !v various part:es that p!. until;
as selling liquor fur other than lawful
w
purposes but ueleiuiant was not m pos
session of sufficient evidence to secure
conviction, although the defendant him
self was convinced. That charges of
this nature became more frequent and
in June 1908, the defendant Biggs in
formed him he had purchased liquor for
other than lawful purposes from the
plaintiff in this case, and that he did
and could purchase same when he so
desired. Defendant Biggs convinced
defendant of the truth of the charges
but, as he explained to Biggs, there was
a lack of corroborative eyidence to se
cure a conviction. Defendant explain
ed the situation to Biggs and stated
corroborative evidence would be neces
sary when this defendant would prose
cute plaintiff in this case.
On July 5, Biggs delivered defendant
a bottle of liquor, claiming he had pur
chased same from the plaintiff herein,
and produced his brother as a witness
with whom this defendant talked.
Afterwards this defendant had Thos.
W. Glenn and Thos. Carter visit the
store of plantiff herein and inspect the
register of liquor sales. They reported
to him they found no sales registered to
Biggs in June or July 1908. They de
manded record and was told "There
they are." They reported this to
the defendant who filed complaint as
above set forth. Defendant was
brought into court without notoriety or
humiliation nor deprivation of his liberty.
Defendant alleges that on the hearing
of the case, he. defendant, produced
evidence that the liquor in evidence was
impure and intoxicating. That plain
tiff herein produced a new record of
sales on the hearing different from that
shown to Glenn and Carter. The in
spection was for corroborative pur
poses. Defendant alleges lie instituted
the proceedings against plaintiff in
good faith and without malice and in
the prosecution of his official duties as
County Attorney.
Defendant denies confederating or
conspiring with his co-defendants filing
the case after numerous complaints,
the fact of which he believed, and to
p unish the plaintiff for violating the
law. He also asks that the case against
him be dismissed.
This makes the issue in the case
drawn with the exception of the answer
of the defendant Biggs who has not
appeared'in the case and whose part
tnerem is verv important. It is not
yet certain that the ca-e will he t
at the September term.

Lincoln is rc-ognized by tlx.' boho
fraternity a.? a good place to drop off
at when cold weather arrives. lt is
seldom that any work i.? required at
the county jail and little at the city
bastile. The rock pile is often more
of a bluff than a reality. Worthless
denizens of the city who want a soft
berth commit some slight offense in
order that they may secure a sentence
of a few months in the county jail.
Here is good food, warm quarters and
little or nothing to do "a fine place to
spend de cold snap" according to an
elderly negro who has been an inhabi
tant of the county bastile several weeks
for the last three or four years. To
the worthless and the milder class of
criminals it isn't any punishment to
send them to jail in frigid weather
when they do not have to give value re
ceived for the food they eat and the
heat they soak up. On the contrary
they crave the chance to be put in the
way of living for a time without having
to labor for their bread. Some day
the city and county will take a tumble
and offer less inducements for this un
desirable class to seek a jail sentence.
The latter will be put to woik and then
not only will the number greatly dimin

Miss Todd was completely surprised,
and most pleasantly, also.
The evening was spent delightfully in
music and games of many kinds, and
at a late hour some delicious and tooth
some refreshments were served, just
such as the charming hostess could
serve. After the luncheon, the party

ARE IS ELD FOR TRIAL.
Justice Archer Holds Two of the
Cedar Creek Burglars To Court.
l estcruay alterr.ooti ounty Attorney
Pawls filed an additional complaint be
fore Justice Anher 'dunging Thos.
Cullen and Peter Larson with burglary,
the allegations being similar to those in
the cases against. Prank Dailey and J o-.
Shaw, ment ion of which was made in
the Journal of yesterday. The four
men were then all arraigned i i com t and
entered a plea of not guilty. After
their plea was entered the men were
remanded to the custody of the sheriff
and their hearing set for this morning.
This morning the four men were
brought into Court and their prelimi
nary examination had. The state was
represented by ('ounty Attorney Pawls
who had an array of witnesses present.
The first witness called was Andrew
Thompson, bartender for Win. Bar
clay. Thompson's testimony was
largely devoted to identifying the par
ties, he identifying one of the parties
as having purchased alcohol from him
during the day preceding the robbery.
He also identified the watch, revolver
ami money sack found in the car with
Dailey and Shaw, and testified that the
saloon was locked up when he lo ed
the night before.
II. G. Prey, the ajent for
B .! -
lington. testified to a state
covering the discovery of Ihe
,f fa.
burglar-
much as the story fold last night
the
Join rial. It v. as he ho dis-o . : : the
burglars in Wolll 's stoic and v. ho
awakened Wolff. Together th.y se
cured h"!p and gun- and started out to
capt Ufe the men who had reel.b. d tie
danger and made their e.'cape. 'ii.'-..
followed the men to the railroad tia. '.
There were some cars standing on the
siding west of the depot and in the ear
fartherest from the: station they dis
covered Shaw. They found Larson and
Cullen asleep under the car and made
them get in it. It was a car of lumber
with a space in the center into whii h
the men were herded. Dailey mu-t
have been in t he car at the time as h
was there when the men wen? taken
out the next morning. When the ear
was searched the next morning the
stolen goods was found hid in tin; ends
of the lumber piles. The money sai k
was empty. There was a space near
the car door through which a knife ar.d
a razor had been dropped and it is be
lieved the money was unloaded the same
way as none of it was found on the
men's persons. That was the purport
of his testimony.
J. F. Wolff corroborated the former
witness largely and also identified the
cutlery although much of it was iden
tified by bearing his name.
Henry Leuchtweis was one of the
men who stood guard over the men in
the cars. He saw nothing of the goods
and made a partial identification of the
men.
Thos. Cullen and Peter Larson were
put on the stand by the County Attor
ney. Their testimony was practically
alike They didn't know the other
men. They had been drinking and ha I
gone to sleep in the car Vvhen sorne- :.e
came in and they got out and laid down
underneath it. When the citizens came
down after the burglar:-, Ihey v. ere
driven into the- car along with Frank
Dailey and Jos. Shaw. Ti di nic-n

The two defendants Daii-y and Shaw
went on the stand and testified that
they were so drunk they couldn't re ail
anything that happened.
They
.a
drank a pint of alcohol and had diluted
it one half with water. Shaw v. a-- un
der the influence of liquor when he met
Dailey but helped drink the alcohol any
way. They didn't remember -e;:

Ben Beckman, the farmer and fruit
grower near Murray, paid the Journal

this too, is a year when big apples are

luscious and show that his orchard will
not be out done by any in this vicinity.
