THE ENEMY fLEES NORTHWARD
Lord Koberu' Llgt of CasuuUIon Prior to
the Occupation of DoVut' IJorp The
Chances for Catchlm ; Itotruatlnc lloers
la Decidedly Slender.
LONDON , April 26. It is officially
announced that Wepener has been re
lieved.
A dispatch from Capetown brings
the information that the relief of
Colonel Dalgety was accomplished by
General Brabant.
The war offlce has Issued the follow
ing frpm Lord Roberts , dated Bloem
fontein , April 25 , 5:25 : p. m. :
"The enemy retired from in front of
Wepener last night and this morning
lied northeastward along the Lady-
brand road. Their number was be
tween 4,000 and 5,000.
Lord Roberts has telegraphed the
following message to the war offlce :
"BLOEMFONTEIN , April 2G. De-
Wet's dorp was occupied by Chermside
without opposition at 9:30 o'clock this
morning. "
The war offlce has issued Lord Rob
erts' list of the casualties prior to the
occupation of DeWot's dorp , showing
that Captain Denny of the Thirteenth
hussars was killed and that a captain ,
two lieutenants and twenty-two men
were wounded. Captain Prothero , who
was wounded at Karreefontein , has
since died.
It is now apparent that the chances
of Lord Roberts' catching the retreat
ing Boers is very slender. The Boers
have everywhere retired at the first
pressure of the British advance and
the hope that General Rundle would
be able to induce them to remain at
DeWet's dorp until they had been
forced to fight has been disappointed.
No attempt was made to pursue the
commandos retiring from Weperer ,
Everything now depends upon the pro
gress of General French's cavalry
brigades , but they are entering a very
difficult , hilly and practically unknown
country.

SIOUX ARE DISCONTENTED
Worked Up Over Cut In Rations and De
lay lii Paying Interest Money.
FORT YATES , N. D. , April 26.
There is great uneasiness and bitter
ness of feeling among the Sioux In
dians here over the policy of the In
dian bureau. Suddenly and without
explanation the rations have been cut
in half and the money from the sale
of hides and the annual interest money
has not been paid to them. They hold
this to be directly in violation of the
treaty. Letters are being received by
the Sioux here from the Pine Ridge
Sioux urging that if peaceable means
fail to secure treaty rights there is
nothing left but to fight for them.
Queen's Last Day in Kngland.
DUBLIN , April 26. Queen Victoria
spent what is practically her last day
in Ireland very quietly. Though she

ney to Kingstown will embark on

Wright Guilty of Murder.
MUSCATINE , la. , April 26. The
Jury in the case of the state against
George Wright tonight returned a ver
dict of guilty of murder in the first de
gree and fixed his sentence at life in
the penitentiary. This was Wright's
second trial. Last July Wright shot
and killed Mrs. Nellie Crippen the
young wife of a planing mill foreman.
The crime was committed upon the
eve of the departure of the woman and
her husband for a new home in an
other state , the fatal shot being fired
while the woman stood in the doorway
THE SOUTH AfRICAN WAR
Brltlih Unable to Advmiro Decaaao of
the Door Forces.
LONDON , April 25. All attention Is
centered on the interesting though
complicated situation in the southeast
ern portion of the Orange Free State
from which developments of the ut
most importance must ensue in the
near future. General Rundle , it would
seem , has found the Boers confronting
him at DeWet's dorp in stronger force
than he cares to engage , and so he is
marking time pending the arrival of
supports. While General Handle is pre
paring to strike DeWet's dorp Generals
Brabant and Hart are pushing along
the frontier of Basutoland , where they
will be able to frustrate any attack on
General Rundle's right , and Generals
French and Pole-Carew are hastening
from Bloemfontein to bar the Boer
line of retreat northward.
In the meanwhile the burgher forces
occupying Thaba N'Chu are in a posi
tion to fight a delaying action , giving
the Boer forces at DeWet's dorp and
Wepener time to retire in case of de
feat , and it seems as though General
French must dispose of this Thaba
N'Chu force before he can reach the
rear of the Boer forces opposing Gen
erals Rundle and Brabant , otherwise
his flank will be open to assault.
The Boers driven out of Leeuk kop
will probably rally at Thaba N'Chu ,
where a stiff fight may be exchanged.
Should the British fail in this attempt
to bring about another Paardeberg it
must immensely affect the larger is
sues of the war , as it will undoubtedly
Jead to a persistent repetition of the
guerrilla tactics which have been
largely responsible for the penning up
of Lord Roberts at Bloemfontein for
so many weeks.

The Case Soon to dome Before Supreme
Court for Hearing.
THE ATTORNEYS POR THE DEFENSE
Attorneys Will Argue the Demurrer of
the monopoly to the Complaint Filed
by the State A Cane That Attracts
Widespread Attention.
LINCOLN , April 30. The case of
the State of Nebraska against the
Standard Oil company will come up
for hearing before the supreme court
Tuesday on a demurrer filed by At
torney General Smyth , the object of
which is to strike out two clauses of
the defendant's answer which attack
the constitutionality of the Nebraska
anti-trust law. James M. Woolworth
and Frank L. McCoy will appear for
the Standard Oil company and At
torney General Smyth will present
the side of the state.
The questions to be discussed are of
a legal nature , all touching upon the
constitutionality of the act tinder
which the suit was instituted. In the
demurred just filed Attorney General
Smyth holds that the attorneys for
the defendant have placed a wrong in
terpretation upon the law and insists
that for this reason clauses (5 ( and 7
of their answer should be stricken out.
The consideration of this proposition
will delay the final hearing of the case
for several months and if the attorney
general is overruled the state's cause
of action will be seriously crippled.
The attorney general contends that
there is nothing in the anti-trust law
or its title which is contrary to the
constitution , but the answer of the
defendant cites several specific points
of alleged unconstitutionally and
three more which are .held to ue con
trary to the constitution of the United
States.
This case has attracted widespread
attention , for upon its decision de
pends the course to be pursued against
trusts in other states. James M. Woolworth -
worth nas been employed as additional
counsel for the defense and prepara
tions are being made by that side of
the case for one of the hardest legal
battles ever fought in t'.ic supreme
court.

TWO Of THE SIX ARE DEAD.
And thti Third of the Wllcor Train
hers Is In Jail.
OMAHA. Neb. , April 28. Since the
Wllcox train robbery on the Union Pa
cific , about a year and a half ago , a
never-ceasing search has been kept up
by the Union Pacific to catch the six
men who' did the job. Two of the six
are now beneath the sod and a third
one is In jail at Cheyenne awaiting
trial. The first located was Lonny
Logan , alias Lonny Curry , at Dodson ,
Mo. , who was killed while resisting ar
rest. The second one was Bob Lee ,
alias Bob Curry , arrested in Cripple
Creek , and now at Cheyenne. The
third Is the one known as George Cur
ry , who , realizing the danger of get
ting out into a busy world , contented
himself with remaining In the moun
tains and sage brush of the west. Fi
nally ho went to cattle rustling and the
latter part of last week a posse got
after Curry and his partner and a
bunch of stolen cattle , overhauling
them on Green river about seventy
five miles north of Green River sta
tion in Utah. Curry began the shootIng -
Ing , but the posse finished it. When
Curry's body was picked up he was
soon identified as one of the Wilcox
robbers from the widely published de
scription of him and his peculiar facial
make-up. His face was so much
"dished" that a ruler laid from fore
head to chin just touched the point of
his nose.
Preservation of Wnr Relic * .
LINCOLN , Neb , . April 28. An ele
gant oak case for the preservation of
war flags and relics has been placed
in the office of Adjutant General Bar
ry at the state house , this city. It is
a massive case reaching nearly to the
ceiling and is richly carved , with heavy
fluted oak columns at each corner.
Plate glass on four sides will be put
in and the case will be placed a few
feet from the wall so that silghtseers
may pass on all sides to view the con
tents. As the case will be hermetically
sealed the battle flags and other per
ishable articles are expected to keep
for ages. The battle flags of Nebraska
regiments that served in the war of the
rebellion are now in tatters , and it was
deemed best to secure a more perfect
case than the old one now in use.
These flags and the flags of the First
Nebraska volunteers in the Spanish-
American war will be the chief ob
jects of interest to visitors at the state
house. When the glass is placed in po
sition the relics will be put on exhibi
tion.
An Insurance Problem.
LINCOLN , eb. , April 28. Auditor
Cornell has encountered a new ques
tion in the line of insurance business.
The Union Life Insurance company of
Omaha was organized under the Ne
braska law that requires a deposit of
$100,000 with the auditor for the bene
fit of policy holders. The deposit was
made , but one year ago the company
consolidated with the Royal Union Life
Insurance company of Des Moines , la. ,
and the latter company has taken up
many policies of the Omaha company.
The Royal Union company now wants
Auditor Cornell to surrender to it from
the deposit an amount equal to the re
serve due on the policies taken up.
This amount does not exceed $4,000 ,
but Auditor Cornell considers the prin
ciple involved of importance and he
will not give a decision until he con
sults Attorney General Smyth.

fortunate as to be driving at the time
had a struggle witn their horses and
teams , several runaways being re
ported.

the Coroner's Jury -Various Aluttors
ITrotu Nebraska Hero and There.
BROWNVILLE , Neb. , April 26.
Coroner Dillon held an inquest upon
the bodjf of Mrs. Smith , ana arter a full
investigation reached the decision that
she h&d come to her death by means
of a pistol wound indicted by her hus
band , Charles B. Smith , he being in
sane. After killing his wife Smith
shot himself in the temple and abdo
men and will die. Smith has been sub
ject to fits of insanity for some time
and when thus afflicted he was quui-
relsome. At the suggestion of his
wife's family he was placed in an rn-
sane asylum in Kansas a little over
a year ago and has made threats that
he would shoot all the parties inter
ested in sending him there. He was
also insanely jealous of his wife , who
was a most worthy and respectable
woman. Smith , realizing that he must
soon die , called Charles Schants , his
father-in-law to his bedside , and gave
him a purse containing $200 , telling
him to take it and use it for the ben
efit of his little boy , seven years old ,
who * is thus suddenly bereft of both
father and mother. It is understood
that at the inquest Smith admitted
that he did the shooting. Cliauey
Schantz , brother of Mrs. Smith , ar
rived from Denver. At irs writing
Smith is still alive , but is getting
weaker , and it is thought he cannot
last more than forty-eight hours-
Charles Smith is son-in-law of
a - - i e
present mayor of Brownville , Charles
Schantz , his wife having been Louise
Schantz. Her parents , brothers and
sisters now all reside in Brownville.
They nave one child , a boy about ten
years of age. For several years past
Smith and wife have resided in Kan
sas. Smith has been weak minded
for a considerable time , ana was dis
charged from the asylum at Topeka ,
Kas. , about March 1 of the present
year , and came to Brownville about
the 15th of March. They formerly re
sided in one of the northwestern coun
ties of Kansas , and on account of
Smith's condition Mrs. Smith's father
had spent considerable tune in Kansas ?
the last year or two.
of the
WYMORE , Neb. , April 26. The
most perfect cyclone cloud ever seen
here spent its force in the heavens
three miles southeast of the town.
The cloud was a regular funnel-shaped
twister , which seemed to form about
five miles southeast. It traveled due
north over the prairies striking the
ground at intervals , at which lin-.e n.
would plow the earth up In chunks
and carry it along.
John Traunich , a German farmer
living thre miles east of here , was
working in the field when he first
noticed it. He ran for his home ,
about 30 yards distant , and warned
his family , who went to the cave. He
stood and watched the twisting mon
ster approach his home , but when 150
feet in front of him it tore up the
ground and carried dirt and debris
high in the air over his home.
A report says that a windmill was
carried over a half mile high , but
this cannot be verified and so far as
known no person was injured and no
serious damage done.
