John W. Petty Keeping Oma
ha's End Up in the Sports
men's Meet at Lincoln.
The State Sportmen's Association
bcgan.its annual tournament in Lin
coln Tuesday.
Several teams from adjoining states
take par in the sport , and altogether
the meeting is probably the most suc
cessful so far.
Owing to the scarcity of birds , glass
balls "were useil in the trap contests
of yesterday. For'these , forty entries
were made , but our fellow-townsman ,
Mr. John W. Petty , carried the day
from the start. The prizes were
divided into forty per cent , to the
first , thirty to the second , twenty to
the third , and ten to the fourth.
The first match at ten balls straight ,
was won by Petty , Robinson , Dun
ham and Irwin in the order named.
Second match , same number of balls
straight , was won with Petty again
first , Robinson and Schamenberger
dividing the honors of second , J. E.
Baum tliird ; and Daniel Bray , fourth.
Mr. Petty did not make a single
missand.he was by all hands voted the
crack trap shot of the state. * "
In the evening the association held
the ann.ua ! meeting The tournament
will continue for the balance of the
weekj fo'ur days in all being the pro
gramme. The weather yesterday was
very fine in Lincoln , but the storm of
of last night night and this morning
will no doubt prove an interruption to
day.

To the Public.-
Last Thursday afternoon I left for
Chicago on a brief visit. On my re
turn Tuesday night I learned that Mr.
Donnelly , city editor , Mr. Johnson ,
local reporter , and Mr. Smith , adver
tising agent , had during my absence ,
served notice upon Mr. Sauer , busi
ness manager , of their" intention to
start an afternoon paper , intimating
their desire to quit at an early mo
ment. Mr. Sauer very promptly and
properly relieved them at once.
I have no fault to find with these
parties for embarking in the proposed
newspaper enterprise. The field
"
is open to any man or
set of men , whether employed in * tlrs
office or elsewhere. I should cheer
fully have submitted to the annoyance
and inconvenience of this sudden
change in our reportorial staff , as I
have done on a former occasion , wl.en
I received notice during my absence at
Washington of a similar change on the
part of Mr. Sorenson. When ,
however , employes of ihis office enter
into a disreputable conspiracy
and become cats paws in the hands of
rival publishers and corporation man
agers who have for years resorted to
such contemptible warfare , I deem it
proper and just to rebuke such con
duct as it deserves.
About _ two months ago Mr. Don
nelly called at my house on a Friday
evening and tendered his services as
city editor in place of Mr. Kent , who
he said had accepted a position on The
Salt Lake Tribune. This was the
first intimation I had of Mr. Kent's
intention to leave this paper. Mr.
Donnelly stated that Mr. Kent
had been engaged by Mr. Strahorn , of
the Union Pacific and would leave
For Salt Lake within two days. Mr.
Donnelly , who was at that time an
employe of the Union Pacific , ex
pressed a desire to go back into the *
newspaper business and especially to
become city editor of TIIE BEE. I
ieclined to make an engagement be
fore Mr. Kent tendered his resigna
tion. Tbo next morning Mr. Kent
: onfirmed Mr. Donnelly's statement ,
idding that inasmuch as Mr. Donnelly
was competent and willing to fill his
place he had decided to leave for Salt
Lake the next day. The same
3vening Mr. Donnelly again called at
my house and I engaged liim.
Fhe next day , Sunday , Mr. James B.
Saynes , a young man who had been
n our employ for several years , called
vnd informed me that Mr. Straliorn
lad made him an ofier of Donnelly's
jlacc. I asked why Strahorn was in
terfering so much with our affairs ,
ind Haynes stated that if this was a
mt up job to injure THE BEK he
vould decline the position. In view
> f the fact that- other parties had
rarned me against Donnelly , who
ras represented as playing a deep
pmeforDr. Miller and the U. P.
. ' requested Haynes not to accept.
He next morning'I notified Dom.elly
hat I preferred not to inr-Iie
ho engagement , and plainly
ave him as reasons that I
adnot desire to employ men who
rero disposed to act as spies for our
ivals and marplots for our enemies.
Ir. Donnelly begged hard to stay.
Ie liad already notified'some friends
liat he was to act as city editor
nd would bo embarrassed if
lie position was given to anothea
Ie assured me upon the honor of a
lan that the reports about his collus-
) n with rivals and eriemies was un-
Bunded ; that his ambition was to be
lentified permaneutly with the BEE ,
nd promised to devote himself
itli fidelity and energy "to
ie interests of the paper. I
ecepted his pledges upon honor and
ad no-reason to believe that he would
iolatc them. A few days later Mr.
kmnelly suggested and urged a change
i his assistant as local reporter. He
ad a friend at Bfnghampton , N. Y. ,
ho would fill that bill.
The party to be displaced was en-
aged for nearly a month longerhence
requestedthatMr.Donnelly's friend
Eiould come within a few weeks ,
-bout five days later this young man
slegraphed ho was on the way and
jquestcd transportation from Chicago
hich was furnished him on our
xount. Uponhisarrival , although we
[ d not need him , Sir. Johnson was
ssigned to assist Donnelly , and he
id the greater part of Mr. Donnelly's
ork. Having trained his associate

; nsc and inveigled Mr. Smith , our

[ r. Donnelly suddenly dropped
ie mask during my absence
id began the "work openly w.hich he
id been doing covertly at the insti-
ition of Dr. Miller and his former
uployes of the U. P.
Such breach of trust and infidelity
any other business house
uld be . utterly reprehensible
id men guilty of such base treachery
any other calling -would
i universally detested. I pre-
: me , however , that the high toned
intlemenwho have concocted this lit-
3 plot and want to use these young

e , will consider it a very brilliant
id repitablo scheme. Our patrons

A MERPIF-UL REBUKE.
How Justice Beneke Served a
Prisoner Who Doubted
TTJH Honor.
Jim Ferguson , a brawny looking
fellow , " . as arrainged before Justice
Beneke yesterday by Officer Kleff-
ner on a charge of drunkness.
The prisoner claimed he was not
drunk , and demanded that proof be
given that he was. Justice Beneke
thereupon ordered his trial .for this
afternoon , and Ferguson wasjnarched
off to jail.
Presently he returned in charge of
an officer , having apparently no strong
liking for the wretched cells under the
county court house.
"I guess I'll plead guilty to that ere
charge , jedge , " remarkedjFerguson on
approaching the justice.
"Well , " said the court , laughing ,
"you have thoughtbetter of it , have
you ? "
"Fact is , " said the prisoner , " 1
guess you'd find me guilty anyhow , so
I thought I might as well have over
with it. What's the reckoning ? "
The court assured him he was in
error in respect to the kind of justice
he would have , and after further
learning that Ferguson was a brick
moulder on his way to Tekamah ,
where a job awaited him , he was al
lowed to march out scot'free.
Ferguson appeared to think , as he
gladly left the court , 'that he had mis
judged the character of. Justice
Benecke.
