8 THE OMAHA DAILY BEIU : TUESDAY , AUGUST 14 , 1891 YET A LITTLE WHILE LONGER Portion of Militia to Bo Eo'aincd atBonti Omaha Indefinitely. PACKERS DO NOT YET FEEL SECURE tno Coiiijiiinlrn to Itcnmlii on tlio ( Iroiiml Mill llu Krilaved to Atn-ml Ju- cuinpliifii. Citizen * Object to tliu "Moto On" .Method , It Is now n settled fact that the entire mllltla .VIII not bo token auay from South Omaha Jintll such time as the officers of the guards nnd the citizens who have Interests here are satisfied that there \ no furtli ; r danger of nn outbreak among the strikers. General Colby arrived again yesterday afternoon and , vlll remain here until Wednesday or Thurs day. Shortly after ho arrived ut his head quarters ho was waited upon by the man agers of the packing houses and listened to rwhat they had to state. After this confer ence had been held a Bee reporter had an interview with General Colby. "I regard the packing Interests of South Omaha as ranking among the most Impor tant Interests that we have In the state. ake nwny our cattle and hog trade and there would bo llttlo left In Nebraska. Wo propose to furnish every protection considered pecmary by the property owners until they are perfectly satisfied that mere Is no fur ther danger. This will not Interfere with arrangements already made for the state encampment. Two or more companies will bo retained. " The general has arranged to have company A and company B from York and Fullerton leave for Lincoln this morning. Company I ) , Second regiment , from Fnlrbury , and company A , Second regiment , of Kearney will come here on Thursday to relieve the companies here , making It possible for all of the men to participate In some portion of the state encampment. Compiny G of ! Beatrice and company E of David City arc hero now and will remain until relieved by other companies. The first brigade consists of twenty-two companies of Infantry , n troop of cavalry and a battery. They will all be on hand at Lin coln , ulth the exception of the companies detained here. In case their services are needed General Colby says the whole state mllltla could be transferred to South Omaha In ninety minutes. "I do not apprehend , " eald General Colby , "that we will have anymore moro trouble. I believe that the strikers arc now educated up to the fact that they have no right to Interfere with the men who want to work regardless of what pay they may bo getting. " WILL BE A DIVIDED AFFAIR. There will be two camps of Instruction dur ing the entire state encampment. Ono will F" be at Lincoln and the other at South Omaha. General Colby will be here until Thursday. Ho has had much experience In the soldier line and will give the boys the benefit of all he has learned In various ways. There will bo a signal corps In South Omaha which will begin duty this morning. A tele graph operator will take charge and a direct line between headquarters here and the gov ernor's office nt Lincoln will be In operation. This wlro and a telephone as well will bo under the control of the mllltla. Major Reed left last night for Lincoln to assist In the opening exercises of the en * campment. " Surgeon Prltchett of the Second regiment lias been notified to report at South Onuha at once to take charge of Camp Johnston as camp surgeon. Dr. Chase , who has been acting here , goes to L'ncaln. At the conference between the packers and , the officers of the guards the former urged that at ibast two companies be re tained for some time yet. The general opin ion IB that the workmen will remain quiet until after the mllltla goes away , when an other outbreak Is looked fflr. * The usual large crowd assembled on the streets last evening to watch the workmen return to their homes and to gaze nt the military boys as they perfcimed their duty. Two men , who have gone1 to work slnco the strike , were passing on Twenty-sixth street , near Nvlien strikers In front of John Fal- lon's saloon besan calling them scabs. Ono of the workmen drew a rev.lver and would hnvo fired a shot If the striker who had limije the remarks at him had not disap peared. The police and guards were not close by and the men escaped arrest. OBJECT TO BEING TICKLED. There are a great many citizens of South Omaha who do not think well of the militia. The soldier boys make every person "move on" regardless of who he Is. Frank Plvonka was standing In front of one of his buildings at Twenty-sixth and N streets when a guard told him to move on , and Frank refused. Five more militiamen were called , and with bayonets In close proximity to what Mr. Tlvonka ate for supper they forced him to * . etep Inside the dcor. John Fallen met with a similar fate. There Is a bitter feeling against the guards that Is gradually spread ing , and there Is liable to bo trouble If the * troops are retained here much longer. The general belief Is that the strikers' will not create any disturbance as long as the guards are kept here. There may bo some on in this vicinity who Is afflicted with , a stomach trouble. If so , the experience of A. C. Eppley , a carpenter , and contractor of Newman , 1)1. ) , will Interest him. For acouplo ot years he t was at times troubled with a pain In the Etornacht that ho snys , "seemed to go through me from front to back.

The court martial of Major William S. Worth of the Department of the Platte began at Fort Omaha yesterday morning. This trial Is the outcome of the now fa mous case In which Private Ccdarqulst was ccurt marttaled and sentenced to six mpnthe nt hard labor and fined $10 of each month's pay during Imprisonment for refusing to obey the command of ono of Major Worth's lieutenants to engage in target practice on Sunday , June 17. Cedarqulst refused to obey the order on the ground that It was against his religious scruples and In violation of the Sunday laws of the state. After the soldier's trial and sentence Gen eral Brooke , commander of the Department ol the Platte , reduced the sentence to two months at hard labor and Cedarqulst served a portion of the sentence , when President Cleveland remitted the uncxplred portion and ordered Major Worth court mnrtlaled for Is suing Illegal orders. The conviction of Private Cedarqulst aroused the enmity of certain church socie ties and others , and through their etlorts the case was taken up to President Cleveland , with the result of this court martial. When Ccdarqulst was tried no particular attention was paid to the reasons for which ho refused to cbey the order , but his In subordination was clearly shown , and for that he was ordered punished. After receiving orders to court-martial Major Worth Colonel Bates of the Second Infantry prefencd the following charges : Charge : Disobedience of orders in viola tion of the G2d art.clc of war. Specification : In that Major William S. Worth , Sccand Infantry , being In command of the camp of a battalion of the Second In fantry , did , In violation of the order of President Lincoln of November 15. 18C2 , order and require certain enlisted men of his command to engage In target practice on Sunday.

He bears a striking resemblance to Nat Goodwin , and does not look like a military martinet. He Is popular with his brother officers , and la said to have a kindly nature toward his men and associates. Count was convened shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning and the charge and specification read , to which Major Worth pleaded not guilty. The trial was conducted In the assembly hall of the club house , and the court was composed of nearly all eld veterans who have seen more or leas hardsh'ps and actual fight ing service. service.WHAT WHAT WITNESSES SAY. Lieutenant Bookmlllcr was thp first wit ness examined. He testified that on Sun day , June 17 , a detail was ordered to en gage In target practice. He said that the battalion had until July 15 to complete prac tice , and they returned to the fort on Juno 23. He said that the target practice could have been completed In a day or two. The order for practice on Sunday Included ono officer and eight or nine enlisted men. These men were n few days behind In known distance target practice and these men were ordered to proceed In order that they might catch up with the remainder of the com mand and proceed with them Im practice. This was also about the time of the excite ment occasioned by the Impending strikes and Commonweal movement nnd the officers understood that they were liable to be or dered Into service at any time , and previous to June 17 orders had been Issued to the officers In charge of the target practice to expedite the practice with all due haste. This order was occasioned by the stopping of the shooting at the targets on account of high winds. Lieutenant Bookmiller stated that no di rect orders had been given to hold them selves In readiness to go Into field service , but this was generally understood by all the officers , who were busy getting their com panies In shape for service on short notice. It was announced that the defense was wilting to admit that the enlisted men did engage In target practice on Sunday , June 17 , by order of Major Worth , and no further evidence was taken on that point. Post Adjutant William' Wright said that ho was acting In his official capacity In Juno and July. He said that no orders had been given Major Worth to be In readiness to take the field on or about Juno 17. On cross-examination he said that It was the general expectation of all the officers that they would bs called Into ( laid EM vice about Hint time , and ono battalion had re ceived -waiting orders. The entire Second In fantry were In a state of preparation to take field about this date , and shortly afterward , In July , we're ordered JntQservlco In Wyom ing and other western states to suppress existing lawlessness. The official army order for target practice was Introduced In evidence by Judge Advo cate Balrd , also the post order relative to Major Worth's battalion engaging In target practice from May 30 for one month's practice. The prosecution then rested , and the de fence called Colonel J. C. Bates of tli ; Second Infantry and commander of the regimental post , who said that no formal orders had been Issued by him. but the commanding general had Instructed him to hold the Second end Infantry In readiness to move In a ihort time. This order was prior to June 17 , and all leaves of nbsrtica were curtailed , Thl Was known to nil the officers nnd enlisted men , nnd the order was the maillot the troubles nrlnlni. from the Commonweal Ynovomont and miners strikes In Monlnnifr Colonel Bates snld tha the order wan of itich * a nature us to causa Major Worth or ny" other officer of th Second Infantry tdi make haste to complete his target practice. Judge Davis Introduced copy of telegram o secretary of war on , August 1 ordering re lease of Private Ccdarqulat nnd court mnrtln of Major Worth arid then announced that th defense rested their ca e. SYNOPSIS OF ARGUMENTS. The prosecution waived opening nrgtlmcn nnd Judge Davis commenced his argumcn In behalf of Major Worth by saying that th questions Involved were of law and civil gov eminent. He did noj presume to discuss th military phase of the case. i He contended that the order Issued by Major Worth was not In violation of the or dera of President Lincoln In 1862. He con tended that the order for Sunday target pruc tlce under the circumstances was neccsary ns the officer was In anticipation of order to tnkc the field. | Judge Davis held that Lincoln's crden ' wore not In force on June 17 , 1894. Am this order only prohibits work not of ncccs slty. slty.He cited an opinion by ono of the chic justices of the Ohio supreme court governing a case where certain merchandise had bcei leaded In a vessel contrary to the Sunday I law. It was held that this was a work of necessity , ns the lake navigation was rap , Idly closing , nnd the position of the do I fendant was established to be right by the I decision. Judge Davis cited a number c other decisions regarding the work of ncces 1 slty under the civil laws. He held that this target practice was a work of necessity unde the circumstances , ns there was no knowing how soon the troops would be required to suppress the lawless gatherings In the west ern country nt that time , nnd then their target practice would have been Interrupts and probably never completed. According to an opinion by the Unltc < States supreme court the officer must no only be found guilty of an error , but his mistake must also be the result cf palpable nial'ce. He went on to show that Lincoln's orders were not In force and Introduced the laws of the army published by Secretary of War Endlcott In February , 1SS9 , which are prefaced - faced by the statement that these arc nl the laws of the army. These rules do nol mention President Lincoln's orders of 1862 regarding work and military practice on Sunday. It was further held that the order of President Harrison abolishing Sunday Inspection In the army abrogated and rcn- deied null President Lincoln's order. Judge Davis closed by sarcastically referring to the Interest taken In this case by Congress man Grosvcnor. Judge Advocate Balrd completed the argu ment In the afternoon. Ho held this was not an ordinary case , but had been ordercc : by the president as commander In chief of the army , and Its result might establish a precedent. It was the reflex action of the Cedarqulst caae and all points must be calmly and Impartially decided. Captain Balrd's main point was that Major Worth's battalion had plenty of tlmo to complete the targst practice and that there was no need of using Sunday for that purpose. He denied that under the circumstances target practice could bo adjudged as a military necessity. Ho did not deny , however , that the laws printed by Secretary of War Endlcott In 1S89 made no reference to President Lin coln's order. After the closing of the arguments the court ordered the evidence transcribed and will meet nt on early day to read It over care fully and render n decision , which will bo made public as soon as approved by Com manding General Brdoke. Judge Davis left for Sidney last night and before leaving said that he was confident that Major Worth would be acquitted. A local minister , representing the Baptist so cieties , was present at the trial. This church Is said to be Interested In the trial from the fact that Cedarqulst Is a member of that religious denomination. No Doctor Tor Tli rro Years.

Tlio Old MIxHourl Illvor Pilot Insiinuly I.rritinliiK of Wealth. Captain Frank D. Kent was at the police station yesterday , where heas charged with being drunk , "though " It was apparent to tha Judge nnd the prosecuting attorney that the mind of the veteran river man was seriously affected and that ho was Insane. Later In the day the captain was turned over to the county authorities , who will In vestigate the case. Captain Kent was one of the early pilots on the Missouri river , running boats from St. Louis to Fort Benton ns early as the ' 50's. As the business dropped oft he settled on the Island In the vicinity of East Omaha , where for a number of years ho operated a road house. This , however , ho found to be an objectionable calling , and a couple of years ago he placed a small steamer upon Courtland lake. One year ago he went out of the steamboat business and removed to the city , rooming on North Fourtosnth street. During the past few weeks Jio has showed some signs of Insanity , and Sunday night ho was arrested and lodged In the station. Ho labors under the deluded Idea that he pos sesses about all of the money In the world , declaring that he Is the sole owner of Ire land. Ills Idea Is lhat he will make that country a republic , nnd that ho will appoint himself the president. After having per formed this act , he claims that ho will pay off the national debt of the United States and put a few millions of dollars Into the com pletion of the Panama canal , after which ho will turn lose and depose the queen of Great Britain , turning the government of that country over to some of his relatives. Ths captain places his wealth at $100,000,000,000 , all of which ho .maintains Is deposited In the Bank of England. An Interesting Lvttur Ulileh Spcnkn for Itsflf. LOVEVILLE , St. Mary's Co. , Md. .
