Oh? ye baches, rdjoice ! O, be merry, con
tented !
Now, for you, is the glory and freedom of life.
as for those who deride us, 'tis time they're
demented ;
For no class is so bound as the married, ia strife.
Thre be men who are cherted by beauty of
facee ;
So deceived in the object they (.ought for so
long.
That their vim is all gone, so they la in the
races.
And they pait with the burden or life for a song.
Let us lauh iu our sieves at the sorrow
they're feeling ;
For we know, in our hearts, we are better in
lige.
Than tLe class who before fickle woman 1j
kneel iog,
O: the fool or the dolt who has married a wife.
In the world, fellow baches, O, list to the
wailing !
Let us lift up our hands, let us help iu tbe strife.
But the henpecked, deceived, craven husband
is failing
Of this c'ory because he is tied to a wife.
We are able alone all our money to squander,
Do not wish for a woman whose passdotis are rile.
Neither eagerly pray, as the actions of
some do.
For a horrid old ecold to iinbittcr our life.
Look at Socrates' story, roJiieniber Xantippe :
How the good man was worried almost to Lis
death ;
And the woes that were brought upon Paris
by Helen.
A the old Grecian mythical chronicles saith.
And "Old Socrates Snooks as Lord of Cre
ation," Yel felt dread apprehension hack under his bed,
And so wretched and bitter the life of Lord
Byron,
That he lonsted to belaid with the bickcrless
dead.
Lei uh take indications we think we have
sighted
Of a something to beat the Philosopher stone.
To " live single in life" is the treat truth in
dited ;
This command lhen obey and its truth you wiil
own.
Then the scolding of wife and the bawling
of children.
Oh. they never, no never shall bother our ears :
And the hairs oh our heads as the fates all
intended.
Shall be ever unclutehcd by the Lands of our
dears.
Then aa baches we live, an I as baches we'll
chance it ;
And in Impaiiies" flourish, escaping the thorn ;
As we ever remember the 'Lectures of
Caudle :"
How he wished to the fates he bad never been
born.
See the woman, tyrannic, on hearthstone and
doorstep.
How they llourish the broomstick, the poker
J'lid t"ligs.
See the poor, witless fellow who's thus made
a craven.
For the apron-striug derpot is worse than the
thongs.
I Let its thank our bright stars and our c'.eitr
That wo saf'ly oy:.ideil the sl .i'gh of despair.
O, how great is our joy in i nr pic.-ciil con
dition :
A up truly are free fn in a lifr' of care.

AFTER GALLING 200
TALESMEN A JURY IS
EMPANELLED.
AT LAST TIIE EVIDENCE IlEKINS
TO COME IN.
I) it f rand turned State's Evidence i-ni
(Hvcs the rest away.
At last tlie crrctit trial seems torntne
to a head. All day last Wednesday
was consumed in challeuginjj Jutors
and objectiro motives and inelimina
ries. At last a Jury was found of
good men, mostly farmers; Their
names are:
William li tiley, James Slate, S. M.
Hoagland, IL M. Palmer, J. C. Davis.
Connor Kuopf, W. XI. West, A. J. Mil
let, C. O. Henry, II. J,. Pratt, A. 11.
Pearson, Thomas Carroll.
Over two hundred men were called
before a satisfactory Jury was found.
Thursday morning tiie court opened at
8:30, and Attorney General Dil worth
opened the case for the State, followed
by Gen. Connor for the defense.
McXamar, an attorney from Plum
Creek was the first witness and testi
fied that he followed the bugy con
taining Mitchell andKetchutn for some
distance north of Plum creek, but aft
erwards lost sight of it in the dark
ness. A short time afler losing sitjht
of them, he was passed on the road by
three men on horseback. They were
but a short distance away, and he
RECOGNIZED OLIVE,
but did not distinguish who the other
horsemen were. lie stated that
he had soen Olive at Plum Creek be
fore he (McXamar) left to follow the
buggy containing Mitchell and Ketch
uui. He also saw Olive with others at
the ranche next morning. He testi
fied to finding the bodies of Mitchell
and Ketchum in tht afternoon of the
day following the killing, two and one
half miles south of Olive's ranche. The
body of Ketchum was hung to a limb
of a tree; and the body of Mitchell was
chained to that of Ketchum, and was
partially suspended, hanging paitly up
tight with one knee on the ground, the
rope by which he had been suspended
having burned in two, allowing the
body to partly fall. With the excep
tion of the hats and boots of the de
ceased, the bodies were bare, the elothes
being burned off.
The most important witness for the
state was Dufrand who testified that
Olive, "redro," Gartrell and and oth
ers took the prisoners Mitchell and
Ketchum, from himself and Gillen.
He stated that he recognized only the
three named at the time when they
took Ketchum and Jlitchell out of
their hands. Afterwards, however, he
saw Brown with the same party. Olive
and Gartrell ssme time after having
taken the prisoners away returned to
the wagon.
K Sensation.
Friday we had quite a sensation;
news cainc that owing to Dufraud's
testimony and the probability of con
viction the cow boys had determined
to rescue Olive and his men, that they
were burning the town of Hastings
and that the Governor had telegraph
ed to Gen. Crook for troops. We learn
ed that a special engine from the yards
here'had been ordered out to carry
troops to Hastings and the excitement
was lively.
By afternoon, of course, we ascer
tained the facts to be about these. An
other party, Brown, had turned slates'
evidence, giving more minute details
of the murder and fixing it unmistak
ably ou Olive as the men who shot Mit
chell. There were about 200 cow-boys,
herders, etc., in Hastings and the au
thorities fearing there might be a dis
turbance and knowing that they could
not successfully defend tlie town if
their men should attempt to raid ity
had requested troops as a precaution
measure. One company of troops
were sent and will probably be kept
there unUl the. trial is over and all is
unquestionably quiet.
Fit I II AY M0ILNING.
Brown's Story The Testimony in Full.
Friday forenoon all Hasting.? was
alive with the uews that Bion Brown
had turned states evidence and told
the whole story.
He stated that Pedro, Gartrell and
Kelly, the black cook, and himself were

and halloaing for them to coma on.
They found the man to be Olive. They
then went all together to Devil's Gap,
where they met the wagon with the
prisoners, Mitchell and Ketchum, with
whom they saw Dufran.l and Gillen.
Olive

from Gi!!e: who said that he hated to
give them up, but finally yielded. G ir
tivll thru jumped into the wagon and
seized the reins, Dufrand and Gillen
having got out and gone back sume
three or four hundred yards. Olive
first iode to tin elm.tree near by-, but
after examining it said it would not
answer, as it was too large. Having
found a smaller one, which suited his
purpose, he ordered the wagon con
taining Mitchell and Kotchum to be
driven under it. When this was done
Gartrell put a rope around Ketchtiin"s
neck and Mexican Pedro served Mit
chell in like manner. The ropes were
then tied to the limb of the tree, and
ihe prisoners were handcuffed. Olive
stood by the wagon. Mitchell was on
the bottom of the Moor of the wagon
box, and Ketchum slightly leaning
over the aide. Olive grabbed up a
Winchester rifle an 1
.SHOT MITCHELL
in the right side. The wounded man
fell over back on the wheel. Gartrell
and Olive then got into the wagon to
gether. Gartrell took up the lines,
whipped the horses and left the prison

The. clothing of the wounded met",
took fire from the gun. and a3 the wit
ness walked around to the tree Olive
ordered him to put out the lite.
Witness was positive in affirming
that no fire was kindled but that from
the gun. He tried to put out the fire,
and thought he had done so, afler
which he went to the wagon and

Green and Baldwin then exchanged
horses with himself and the Mexican,
aLcl they with Fisher started back to
Plum Creek.
The witness testified positively that
he saw Olive pay money to Sheriff Gil

Baldwin sat on his horse near at hand,
and Green came shortly after the pris
oners were delivered into tbe hands of
their murderers.
The witness (Brown) is a boy twen
ty one years age, a native of Ohio, in
telligent and good-looking, with frank,
open facp, and has been in the employ
of Olive ten months.
On cross-examination Brown stuck
to his story said Olive, Green and
Baldwin acted as if in liquor, himself
his companions were sober.
The State rested the case.
The defense offered affidavits to over
throw Brown's testimony.
GEX. CONNOR S SPEECH FOR. THE DE
GEXiE TESTIMONY OF OTHER
WITNESSES.
Gen. Cennor, in his opening spoke
as follows:
lie said it was impossible to make a
minute statement of what- thev meant
to prove. Although the defendants
were arrested last January, to-day was
the first time they had been uiformed
what evidence there is against them,
they had had no preliminary' examin
ation, and no opportunity . to prepare
even for trial. The testimony and
facts possessed py the state were locked
up like the prisoners, and no chance
given to know a word. They expect
to show defendents not guilty. To
show that an entire community could
be as well charged with tiie offense as
the defendants. There was a feeling
of exasperation in Custer county not
only, but ;n adjoiningcounties. Stock
had" been stolen, and the law was
powerless to punish or prevent it. A
whole community was arrryed against
these deceased persons because they
were believed to be cattle thieves.
There was a motive to commit the of
fense if it was on offense. They would
show that the whole eommuiiitiy felt
that this summary puuishment was
just.
Further, on the night of the offense,
armed men, numbering fifteen or
twenty, were seen in the v'cinity of
where the transaction occurred. That
they used language that indicated that
they
INTENDED TO LYNCH THESE MEN.
It is not strange in these frontier
counties that men feel they must take
the law into their own hands, when
their property is stolen without redress.
He then spoke, of th.J abuse that had
been heaped upon Olive aud his fellow
defendants by the press and public,
and not a word in their favor; all de
nunciatory. An officer of the. law was
shot down by Luther Mitchell, but no
body said it was an outrage. There
are two sides to the case, but public
clamor has drowned all things that can
be said in favor of these men The
defense will show that there was a
motive for other parties to commit
this offense, and we will show you that
in till probability other persons are the
guilty ones.
Other witnesses:
.TOIIN MCLANE
was then called. He lives eight miles
from Plum Creek. On lOih December
saw Fisher going north, ri ling rapidly,
about ;i o'clock. About an hour after
a buggy going out with Ketchum and
Mitchell and McXamar in his buggy
passed by, stopping to water teams.
Gillen and Dufrand were with Ketch
um and Mitchell. Afterward Mr.
Olive came to witness front door, and
asked if any buggy or wagon with
prisoners had passed. Saw no one with
him. Saw two men going north and
these men met Olive a half mile north
and all followed the road in same di
rection, north. All on horses. It was
scarcely half tin hour after the bug
gies came up before Olive came up.
WILSON.
Lives two miles and a half north of
Pium Creek. Ou the 10th of' Decem
ber saw Olive ride on horseback on the
road going to the South Loup. Also
saw Fisher riding in the same direc
tion. Met him three-qftarters of a mile
north of the village. Olive was alont
when witness met him. Said Baldwin
came into the road half a mile north.
Baldwin seemed to come from the
east. The court ruled out testimony
concerning Baldwin.
E. O. CARPENTER,
a liveryman at Pium Creek, saw Olive
on the lOih of December at his stable,
also Luther Mitchell. Olive engaged
a buggy. Messrs. Gillen and Dufrand
afterward took the buggy. Mr. Olive
paid the bill.

South I5einl Noles.
I notice in the Sentinel of the 3d an
article from Louisville that says con
siderable strife between Louisville and
South Bend as to which can raise the
most motiey to build a bridge across
the Platte. We must acknowledge
that this is news to us. There were
some parties here last week figuring
on a bridge, and mado propositions to
the citizens of this place, and certain
citizens of Sarpy county, which were
accepted by us, and the necessary ar
rangements h .ve been made and ti e
bridge will be built at once.
I believe, though, tluring the time
the parties above referred to were here
there was a delegation sent here from
Louisville who tried to get proposi
tions from them for a bridge at their
place, but they met with no encourage
ment wha.Urver; tlid not even succeed
in getting them to stop at their town.
We harbor n"j enmity or strife towards
our little neighboring village of Louis
ville and regret very much that theirs
is a location so unfortumate that they
can neither have a bridge or a ferry
landing.
The large ferry boat spoken of in the
Sentinel was unloaded 2 miles east of
South Bend, which we have been in
formed by reliable parties, is as near
as they can ever get to Louisville.
This being the case wo would advise
our Louisville brethren to move their
little heuses and what few traps they
have to Ssuth Bend and we will go in
w ith them and grade a road to their
ferry landing, which can be done with
but little cost. We merely make this
as a proposition for the accommodation
and good of the citizens of Louisville,
and will leave it open for 30 days.

The Phrenological Journal.
In our reading of The Phrenological
Journal and Science of Health for
April, we were struck by the general
tone of the magazine. Its aim is to
elevate, and it is pure in character in
every department, while entertainment
and instruction are skillfully blended,
so that its matter is exceedingly inter
esting from beginniugto end. Indeed
the Phrenological Journal is a capital
illustration of what can be accomplish
ed in the way of making science pleas
ant to the general reader. The first
sketch is that of the Rev. Dr. Pair, an
Episcopal divine of distinction i:i Bal
timore. Then comes a verv inteivst-
ittr description c f the ( hine.seat Home,
in which the reader finds many fea
tures that are entirely new to him,
and bearing closely upon the special
work of Phrenological Journal. The
installment of "Brain and Mind" fur
nishes clear and definite applications
of the science to the delineation of
moral qualities. An interesting arti
cle is that of "Poe and Rachel." Eliza
beth Thompson, the English lady who
has suddenly leaped into fame, occu
pies a place in this number, vr ith an ex
cellent portrait. Our young people
will certainly be interested in the open
ing chapter? of "Uncle Jimmic, the
Cripple," a short serial which is very
pleasantly written. Real Teachers and
Real Teaching, are some views of a
veteran pedagogue, now n New York
editor. The great work of Moral Re
form is represented this time by Mr.
William Noble, of England, and an ap
preciative sketch of him is given, with
a portrait. Miss Coleman discourses
upon the "Diet ef Man" in her usually
pleasant and careful mannr. All the
departments are replete with amuse
ment and instruction. The smaller
type especially abounds in valuable
hints to the reader. The Journal is
published now at 82.00 a year, 20 cents
a number, with a choice of Premiums
to each subscriber. Address S. R.
