LJXCOLK , Aug. 11. [ Special to Tns BBB. ]
Ono of the most Interesting cases brought
to the supreme court for some months was
Died with the clerk this afternoon. It In
volves a murder In Sallno county , but takes
an unusual turn in channels hitherto un
occupied by legal quibbling. On November
14 , IKH. Ocorgo I'lunkntt was killed in o
saloon In DoWltt kept by William Tlppoy
and Gcorgo Schrani. Plunkott had boon
drinking In the saloon and soon became in
volved in n quarrel with n companion
named William Halfacro. In the fight which
followed Plunkott was killed. His widow
afterwards commenced suit for damages ,
asking $5,000 from Tlppoy and Schram and
Hi o if bondsmen. The case wont to trial nnd
the Jury awarded her i,000 , the amount to
bo divided equally between the men Tlppoy
nnd Plunkott. But the Judge Instructed the
Jurors that owing to a defect in the bond tha
bondsmen were to bo released from any re
sponsibility In the caso. The bondsmen
were therefore released from the payment
of any part of the damages. Mrs. Plunkott
brings thn case to the supreme court on the
grounds that the Judge who tried the case In
the lower court erred In Instructing the Jury
to release the bondsmen.
In the meantime Hnlfacro was tried for
the murder of Plunkott and sentenced to a
term In the penitentiary , Tlppoy was
charged with being an accessory , but before
ho could bo placed under arrest , ho loft the
itato between two days nud was unheard offer
for some time. Finally the shorllT of Sallno
'county sot a trace of .the fugitive nnd
tracked him to the southern part of Now
Mexico. After n long chase Tippoy was
found , brought back to Nebraska and
sentenced to the penitentiary. Ho has no
jnoporty which can bo seized for the Judg
310111 secured against him by Mrs. Plunkott ,
nud for that reason aho is trying to induce
the supreme court to reopen the case and
give her a chance to recover the amount
from the bondsmen.

The alacrity with which railroad "com

to pay off the damages to thu abutting prop

hitch is. The appraisers made their report
to the county court nearly u month ago and
plenty of tlmo seems to have elapsed for the
railroad companies to negotiate the neces
sary funds to enable the contractors to pro
ceed with the work.
It Is stated In some quarters that the city
council Is 1' elf responsible for the delay ;
that City Attorney Abbott asked for Instruc
tions as to whether ho should take an appeal ,
from the Judgment of the appraisers and
that as yut the coimcllmuii have boun silent ,
According to thu authorities several courses
nro open , cither the city or the property
owners may appeal from tl'o awards of the
nppralsers within sixty days. Thu city can
through the friendly aid of the railroad
companies Interested , pay the amounts as
csscd by the appraisers Into iho courts and
then tiiko an appeal , thus pcr.nitting the
work of construction to proceed. Or , by letting
ting thu work remain at n standstill thu cltj
can appeal from the Judgment of the ap
pralsers without putting up the amount o
the damages , As the matter stands no om
scums to know exactly who is rcsx > nsihli
for the delay , only it seems to bo proUj
definitely settled that the property owner
are perfectly satisfied with the amount !
given them by the appraisers ,

futuro. Charles was released , his wife Jli'st
paying § 5,20 into the school fund.

ness claims that houavqtiio patient onodoso
of the drug that is supposed to make
a man shun rod liquor , , th'o rest of his Hfo.
Dr. Henderson said that as a rule Kogors'
health was good when bo'was not drinking.
Witness was asked by Assistant County At
torney Slnbaugh what effect an injection
of alcohol would liava < ou a person and the
physician replied that unless the fluid was
injected into a velnv or artery there
would be no ill .effects. If into a vein
death would follow. The .doctor had known
Ward for some tlmoand .considered him very
well posted in medicine.-Last spring , the
doctor said. Ward experimented upon himself -
self by taking ; . , .largo doses of cpvaine , and
cam6 very near dyiiipr. , Ho thought that
Ward was a morphine , fiend.
Injections of Carbolic Add.
Coroner Maul asked the doctor to view the
remains and notice the spots on the arms.
After looking at the body the witness said
that the spots looked as if tnoy had boon
burned by carbolic acid or , sonin other caus
tic , and thought that carbolic acid had boon"
injected into Rogers' arms , possibly by mis
take. The result of this would bo fatal.
Druggist William Gladlsh testified that
VVard frequently bought alcohol at his placo.
Ho know that Ward was n morphine eater ,
also know that ho drank liquor.
The last witness was Allma Urapcnthine ,
the sweetheart of the dead man. She tes
tified about the finding of the body and that
the door of the room the men occupied at
Hcacock's house had to bo broken open.
Ward was sitting in a chair beside the dead
body eating bologna. When asked why ho
had not reported the matter , Ward said :
"What's the use , he is better off dead ; ho
was nothing but a living drunkard. "
Wurd W Held.
This closed the testimony and the case
went to the Jury. The verdict was that
William Rogers Garner came to his death by
improper treatment at the hands of Dr.
Ward , alias Poyson , and recommended that
Ward bo held for further examination.
The dead operator was ono of the best
Jtnown men in his calling In the west. He
was tin expert operator and commanded
good positions. His correct name was
William Rogers Clamor1 , although ho was
known in the telegraph world as William
Rogers. Ho led a strike at Fort Worth
about ton years ago and was blacklisted by
the railroad and telegraph companies. Ilo
changed his name at tnat , tlmo.
Touching Funeral Kxerclias.
It was honest sorrow that broucrht together -
gothor an hundred or moro of friends of the
dead man at the morgue at I ) o'clock. Key.
Frank Crane was prevented from attending ,
but Rev. A. W..Clark assumed the task at a
moment's notice. Ho road from Paul's
cpistlo to the Hebrews , and spoke feelingly
for a few moments concerning life , death
and Hfo beyond doatn. Handsome wreaths
of flowers covered the casket in which the
body lay , and over which burning tears fell
from oycs whoso owners knew the dead man
and loved him for bis many manly attributes.
The services were simple , yet touching.
At the conclusion of Roy. Mr. Clark's re
marks the body was taken to Buford , Ga. ,
for interment.
