Liberty In Sight for Lindsay.
Things are looking brighter for
rugilist Jimmy Lindsay, who is oc
cupying quarters at the county jail by
reason of his inability to furnish the
12,500 bail bond fixed by Justice
Archer when Lindsay was bound over
to the district court, on the charge of
killing Fletcher Bobbins. At first
Lindsay was exceedingly sore at Gris
wold, Gurley and Omaha people in
ffeneral. claimine that he had been
deserted when bail was furnished Gris
wold and not himself. Now, however,
Lindsay is singiDg a different tune, as
he thinks he will be able to furnish a
bond, and thuB secure his liberty un
til the time of his trial in district
court. Lawyer Matt Gering, counsel
for Griawold, was in Omaha yesterday
and at the request of Attorney Gurley,
Mr. Gerinz was searching today tor a
Plattsmouth man who would be will
ing to go on Lindsay's bond, providing
he was properly secured by Omaha
parties. Mr. Gering says that he has
no interest in Lindsay's defense, but
is only acting at Gurley's request, and
when seen by a Journal reporter to
day he said that he had found the
necessary Plattsmouth man 'to
go upon Lindsay's bond. This be
ing the case, and providing, of
course, that the aforesaid Platts-
raouth man is properly secured, Lind
sav is apt to be liberated in a few
days.
Plattsmouth people who were in Om
aha yesterday state that a report was
current in Omaha that Editor Rose
water took the trouble to inquire of
Omaha parties who saw the contest
between Bobbins and Lindsay and
that on the strength of their storieB
be dispensed with Griswold's services
as sporting editor on the Bee. None
could youch for the exact truth, but
that the report was current is certain

The Plattsmouth Slugging.
This paper has no love for prize
fights and very little respect for those
who indulge in them. They are a
worthless and. for the most part, a
dangerous element in society, but it
cannot but hold that they have rights
to a fair trial, even for breaking laws.
It has already commented upon me
peculiar manner in which the case
against Slugger linasay, now on inai
for murder at Plattsmouth, is being
conducted. Lindsay and the referee,
Griswold, were bound over for trial
Aueast 20. and in fixme the ban Donos
Lindsay's was put at 82 500 and Gris
wold's at 87.500. The Dogberry said
that in fixing the bail he took into con
sideration the respective ability of the
men to furnish bonds, ihus, Because
Griswold was presumably able to fur
nish a large bond, his is nxea at inree
times the sum required of the man who
is alleged to have been guilty of man
slaughter. And the two Plattsmouth
seconds in the Bent have not even oeen
informed azainBt. Omaha World-
Herald.
Such slanders upon Justice Archer
are entirely unwarranted. To make
Griswold's bond larger than Lindsay's
was perfectly proper. The object of a
bond (fearing that the World-Herald
needs some instructions) is to bring a
prisoner into court for trial. A bond
of $1 might be sufficient to bring one
man into court, while a bond for sev
eral thousand might fail to bring an
other, and it necessarily follows that
the respective financial standing of
men charged with crime should enter
into the fixing of their respective
bail bonds. And still further, counsel
for the defense virtually fixed the
amount of both bonds at the solicita
tion of Justice Archer, as the magis
trate wished to act fair in the matter
and place the amount within the re
sources of both men. In it3 desire to
slander Justice Archer, the World
Herald has made a consummate donkey
of itself.

Crop Keport for the Week.

fell, reaching a maximum of 1.63
inches at Kennedy.

COMMENTS ON THAT FIGHT.
The following clippings from Jour
nal exchanges demonstrates the feel
ing against Lindsay and Griswold to
be rather general:
'My readers"" of Sandy Griswold's
sporting department of Mr. Iwater's
paper are likely to lose their friend
Griswold. He has been indicted for
the murder of Fletcher Bobbins, who
was killed by a prize fight at Platts
mouth. Griswold was referee of the
pleasant little game and he has been
held without bail as an accessory, lie
is as contemptuous and egotistical a
plugugly as any of the short-haired
bruisers with whom he associates.
either at the prize hghts or elsewnere.
If he should test the Dodge county
crop of hemp, Mr. Iwater will not be
ow-soirited or cast down, for he will
still have Ed Ro-gen and Seth Cole
left. Fremont Tribune.
Fletcher Robbins. a young man of
Plattsmouth, engaged in a prize fight
with James Lindsay of Omaha ana
now lies in his crave. The referee in
the noble contest was Sandy Griswold,
the sporting editor of the Omaha Bee.
That trentleman is now being savagely
criticised for having a hand in such an
affair; of course he didn't know that
anybody was going to be killed, or he
would have stayed in Omaha, com
piling his usual column of bombast
for the great newspaper of which he is
an ornament. Colonel Griswold should
set an example to all theothercolonels
of his kind; he should either go out of
the newspaper business or go out of
the prize ring business. The two pro
fessions do not dove-tail worth a cent.
Newspaper men should be at prize
fights only as passive spectators, in
the stern walk of duty. It is probable
that the colonel will turn over a new
leaf when he gets out of his present
trouble, if he ever gets out of it.
Beatrice Express.
Sandy Griswold, the great sporting
editor of the greatest newspaper west
of Chicago, is now fighting the charge
of being accessory to a murder. The
man of superior intelligence, who by
virtue of his responsible position,
should have used his talents and his
efforts to uplift legitimate sport from
the level of Jimmie Lindsay, ana
thugs of that ilk. Griswold in an in
terview said that he had lost his head
in the fight; that he was not the proper
person for referee; that he did not
have the proper protection. Proper

More Trouble for Father Corbett.
Father Smith came in from Elm
wood this morning and informs us
that Father Corbett some two weeks
ago violated the order of the court, as
he performed the burial rites over one
of his former parishioners. Father
Smith says he was on the ground at
the time and ready to perform the ser
vices but was unable to do so because
of the presence of Father Corbett and
his friends. He said he asked the
constable to remove Father Corbett,
but the latter refused. The matter
was .efeired to the Bishop and per
haps some action will be taken. It is
claimed that Corbett can be arrested
for contempt of court. Nebraska City
