This was said by a prominent member of tho

to tho ronr In the World-Herald over tho
alleged dissatisfaction among republicans
with tho call for the republican primaries
to elect delegates to tho stato convention.
"It is a tempest In a teapot," ho continued,

their rebuff at tho city primaries. Thesa

After thirty minutes' deliberation, a Jury
In Judgo Baker's court returned a verdict
ot acquittal In tho cone of E. V. Holmes,
who stood charged with forgery of railroad
tickets. There aro four couuts against
Holmes and this trial only covers one. Ho
will bo arraigned laler on tho other charges.
The 'information Is Identical In each case.
Holmes maintained tho sarao calmness
when tho verdict was read that has. char
acterized his action from the beginning. Ho
appeared to look upon tho result fw a mat
ter ot course and exhibited no surprise.
Tho cane of Holmes Is one of tho most re
markable that has within recent years en
gaged tho attention of railroad detectives.
That somebody did an cxtonslvo manipula
tion In railroad tickets thcro Is no doubt,
but It appears to bo a difficult matter to lo
cate tho responsibility. It appeared that
Holmcu was tbo guilty party, so tho rail
road authorities assort, and ho was tracked
to Natchez, Miss., and arrested thcro by
Thomas It. Oorman, who was at that time In
thu employ ot the Santa Fo railroad, but
who Is now the superintendent ot Kenney's
detectlvo agency In Kansas City. Mr. Dor
man was In court as a witness, Jarucu Hltt,
a ticket broker of St. Joseph, was another
witness. Mr. Hltt testified that ho received
a consignment ot tickets which bo discovered
to bo bogus and that they were sent to him
by Holmes. Ho observed that punch marks
had been filled up In such manner as to
validate, tickets that had expired. Tho work
was as clever a has ever been noted In
ticket manipulation. Blnco tho Jury has
found Holmes not guilty on the ono count,
It is a question It ho can be convicted on
cithor ot tho others. Holmes operated In
Omaha ns a "curbstone broker" during the
exposition.

Deputy United States Marshal John O.

took A. Ehrhard on a chargo of opening a
registered lottor nddressed to Mrs. Helen
Ehrhard. Tho story told by Ehrhard Is tnat
ho never received the letter, but that some
ono forged his signature. Ha says that the
money was sent from relatives nt Ilagan,
Neb., to himself nnd wife at Medicine Lodg",
Kan., for tho purpose of enabling them to
como to this state; that they waited In vain
for the money, but upon receipt of a letter
from their Nebraska relatives telling them
that tho registry return card had been re
ceived by them, reported the matter to tho
postofllco Inspector, and thnt tho Inspector
after Investigating tho caso secured tho In
dictment of his informant for receiving tho
letter, which was addressed to Mrs. Ehrhard,
wife of tho prisoner.
Mr. nnd Mrs. Ehrhard wero dwelling to

and there is no doubt in tbo mind of thu
