The evidence shows that Gardner look an
active part In the murder by holding the
crowd off with his gun, while Uhea was at
work behind the bar and making the men In
the saloon keep their hands well up. Her
man Woelters testified this morning that
Gardner shoved a gun at him and raadr hlra
face the north wall and hold up hla hands.
He saw him make nnother man kneel down
by the pool tablo and put ;ip his hands, and
another was placed In he same position
ty the stove. Ths witness backed out of
tho, saloon, while Gardner and Ilhea were
till In there. He went to his hardware

John Srhlchteuberger, barber, detailed Ihc
account of his shooting nt Ilhea while he
was In behind tho bar and nt Gardner, back
of the, saloon', and the pursuit of the two
men toward'tho Elkhnrn depot. On cros--examlnatlon
he denied trying to take Gard

thcro In nny way.
As on tho Ilhea trial Landlord Stol

and Gardner came Into the saloon and the
ihootlng which followed. Gardner, he said,
walked back nnd forth In front of the bar,
moving his gun fram side to fide, vvhllo

lift when Gardner, going out of the back
door with his gun In bis left hand, called
out, "Come on, Hill, now's your time."
Fritz Woelter, who 'was not called In the
Ilhea case, testified that Darrell came to
the saloon Just after tho shooting. Ilhea
stepped up to him and said. "You hold up
your hands." Oarrell said, "You know v I
never cjono you no harm." Ilhea replied
emphatlrnlly, "You hold up- your hands.!.'
Darrell walked around the Baloorf with his
hands. Up nnd left "when Rhea went but.
While Gnidner was In 'the saloon he came
back toward tho stovo where there was a
number of men. Ho pointed his Run to
ward each In turn, counting as he did
ko. "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,"
ordering thorn fo sit down on the floor,
with their bandB up. They obeyed without
any hesitation.
Albert Yunghambel told about hearing a
talk between Daricll and Zahn 'just before
tho three men came In. Several other wit
nesses testified the same as upon Ithea's
trial. ,
Mnn Who round Itlien.
V. II. Kerkow of Scrlbner. the man who
found Rhea, was tho last witness for the
slate. He was up on the stack of hay and
straw at the Williams place, when he
stepped on something. Reaching down be-,
side (he barn, he pulled up a bed quilt from
under tho ttraw und saw a man lying there
with a gun In his hand. He nlld off the
stack, calling to Sheriff Kreader, "Tho

began fo creep up toward Its top. Gardner
run out from near where Rhea had been,
threw out his hands and called out, "Don't

for his support, It Is, of course, Impossible
to ascertain.
World-Herald, January 23: "General
John C. Cowln's presence In Washington
has begun to arouse general Interest nmong
the politicians now at Lincoln, and tonight
Is a matter of widespread discussion and
conjecture. It Is generally believed that
tho hastening to the national .capital of the
Omaha lawyer was a direct result of lover
tures made to him by Edward Rosewatcr
looking toward the latter's withdrawal in
his favor as a candidate for United Stntes
senator. As Wofld-Herald readers have
already been Informed, Mr. Rosewatcr, be
fore making a slmllnr proposition to John
I.. Webster, held a conference with Cawln
nnd agreed to throw the Douglas county
delegation to him. provided he would ngreo
to certain terms which Rosewater de
manded. Cow'ln, It was learned, refused to
consider the matter unless ho ,cond be as.
surcd a reasonably clear field as a North
Platto candidate. It la believed tonight
that after his failure with Webster, Rose-
water again went after Cowln, and thnt the
two of them were agreed' that If Melklejohn
could bo taken care of In some manner, so
that ho would be willing nt tho proper tlrao
to withdraw and help make Cowln, there
would be no Insuperabto obstruction In tho
way of the la,tter's election."
Other liiexruaaMe Fnkrt.
Equally .Inexcusable have.bean.,the fakes
published from day to day concerning Rase-.
waters attitude on tho republican caucus
And his relations to other. candidates. A
fair sample of this may be -found In .tho.
following extracts:
World-Herald, January 24: "heading
business men from Omaha are bearing down
hard on tho little editor .cither to consent
to caucus or to get outof the way, prefer
ably tho latter. Some of Thompson's lieu
tenants even entertain the hopo that Rose
water will gracefully abdicate In favor- of
General John C. Cowln. -That Mr. Rose
water Is In desperate straits and has lost
hU head Is evident. He spent the Inst
two dnys In frantic nppeals for support
from the various candidates and members
of the legislature. If they will only help
swell his vote so that It will ..ccparo with
Melklejohn s and Currle's, ho assures them,
he will place no obstacles In the way of a
caucus."
Co in I It K to the Cntieim.
No pressure whatever has ever been,
brought upou Rosewater from leading
business men. In industrial Interests at
Omaha In the matter of .caucus and no con
troversy over the matter ever took place
among tho members of the Douglas dele
gation. World-Herald, January 25: "The Doug
las county delegation has-datly grown more
Insistent In ihelr demands on ,Mr. Rose
water that they be permitted to sign the
caucus call, to which are now attached the
names of fifty-three republican members.
Mead and McCoy and Ubl and Wilcox In
particular have labored with their .chief.,
striving to Impress on hlra the futility of
holding out longer. Added to this, the great
commercial and Industrial Interests of
Omaha are bringing tremendous pressure to
bear on the little editor to get out of the
way and not, by his obstinacy, beat tho me
tropolis out of representation In the United
States senate. This disaffection at homiv It
Is argued, combined with the murky pros
pect without, as shown by the refusal of
republican members to line up under his
standard, has convinced Mr. Rosewater that
he cannot himself be elected."
I'craUtrnt I'rrvrmlnn of I'neta,
The same persistent perversion of facts
may be found In the following extracts:
World-Herald, February 7: "The situa
tion has finally simmered down to a point
where, of all the candidates for senator, Mr.
Rosewater stands alone and unsupported In
resisting n caucus. Tho rdllor of The
Omaha lice occupies a solitary hut heroic,
position. Stormed nt with shot nnd shell
by all the other candidates, by fifty-seven
of the seventy-one republican members, by
Governor Dietrich and Ihc state committee
for blocking n caucus, he responds by load
ing up the. columns of his paper dally with
eclumns of demnnds that a caucus be held,
the whllo he lambaslk and berates five
sevenths of Ire members and all tho other
candidates ' for their wtlj(ul perversity
In refusing to accede to his demands.
It Is the generally expressed senti
ment tonight that Mr. Rosewater has
finally been smoked out of his hole.
He has been compelled to demonstrate
his determination to block n caucus, even
though Its terms be satisfactory 'to' every
body but himself. It's mighty tough for
Rosewater. but he Is elap bang up against
It. A great universal war of Indignation
ntsalls his cars from the four quarters of
the heavens tonight, and he Is .being de
nounced in many tongues, and dialects fqr
presuming to set himself up as greater and
mere Important than his, party," - -
World-Herald, February OJ "Tho 'ahtls'
havo kindly consented to, takotthe burden oft
Mr. Itnsettater's shoulders. .and It' has aV
corllngly been shifted. Senator Johnson,
hi left Rosewater for Currle on today's
ballot, went to (he Omaha fiihilld'afo 'before,

cease voting for him, and Informed him
thai he did so for the ffaspii that be could
ro longer support a candldnto who persist
ently refuted to content 1o a republican
caucus, Senator Johnson wound up with
the assertion that he s leaving Mr. Uoro-
water never lo return, and 'apprised 'him

of the fact that four Other members who
had been voting for him would serve a
similar notlco tomorrow. This untoward
manifestation of belligerency filled the little
editor's soul with sorrow nnd alarm. It
pronged a serious defection that would ex
poee tho hopelessness of his candidacy and
expose It so thoroughly that the wayfaring
man, though a stranger, could not fall to
understand."
When lir Cnnru Wns t'nlleil.
'Tho most absurd and stupid fake of all Is
embodied In the story that Rosewater had
been trapped through, the Instrumentality
of Speaker Scars, when In fact all tho ar
rangemrnts preceding tho signing of the
caucus paper had been communicated to
blm and ho was aware of every movemcn
that brought about the signing of the
paper. The truth Is that whllo the enter
prising Worhl-Hcrnld fakir was busy con
coding fiction ho wns scooped on the facts
nnd nincle good his lack of vigilance by
fabricating a story which everybody on the
Inside knew to bo false.
World-Herald, February 12: Under this
caption nppenrs In bold black letters In the
veracious Ilryanltc organ the following
"SEARS I'LAYS SHREWD TRICK Speaker

Roscwaier's copy of agreement bearing sev

When n friendly Indian asked for tho docil'
ment this afternoon, assuring him that he
believed ho 'could get a few more signatures

unsuspicious of gullo In others, trustfully
surrendered the precious document. It was
at once carried to Speaker Sears. Imme
diatcly this point had been gnlncd, Thomp

sent word personally to each of his sup
porters to meet htm In his headquarters nt

"Such Is the hl'tory qf ono.of the neatest
coups over accomplished In tho history of
.Nebraska politics; Its success lay In the
fact lhat no opportunity was given the
Rosewater men nnd tho 'nntls,' who had
signed, to withdraw their names, and the
call was made effective nnd formally an
nounced by tho speaker before they had any
Intimation of what was happening.
"Mr. Rosewatcr Is In a most precarious
and unenviable position. Not even his
friends believe ho enn be made one of tho
nominees of tho caucus. Mr. Rosewator
himself believes thnt he will bo able to
deadlock tho caucus nnd prevent a nomina
tion, and for this reason affects to regard
tho "coup as of llttlo consequence. Rut
among those best Informed grave doubts
are entertained as to Mr. Rosewater's
ability to do this."

Tho flght for tho' republican mayoralty

tho managers of tho two competing candi
dates equally confident of success at tho
polls tomorrow afternoon. Mayor Wlnnet's
strength Is In the uptown wards and If ho
can get all the republican voters In this
portion of the city out tomorrow he will
undoubtedly be nominated.
W. H. Woodard Is stronger than his oppo
nent In tho First and Second wards and
possibly In tho Third and It Is In this dls
trl.ct that the greatest effort in his behalf
had been exerted.
T. James Cosgrove. manager of Wood
ward's campaign, said tonight: "I believe
Mr. Woodward will win. A great many
pcoplo want a change of administration
and are supporting Mr. Woodward on ac
count of his record as councilman from the
Sixth ward."
W. R. ComBtock, manager for Mayor Wln-
nctt, summarized the situation ns follows:
"I do not bcllcvo the lawabldlng citizens

In his report to the governor, made public

court and suggests n larger appropriation
for tho library force. The appendix to this
report contains a Hat of accessions to the
library and a condensed statement showing
the number of volumes and .pamphlets now
on the shelves. In making purchases there
has been no radical departure from the
methods of hU predecessors, but in keep
ing with the general demand fewer books
of a general or miscellaneous character
and more lecal publications have been
bought than In former years..

"The room In the capitol building occu

man, "The local bar, the bar of the state
nnd over 100 students from the law de

of grip that has Just passed over our fair
country.
The hopo to these people Is Teruna.

Hveryone who has had the least touch of
grip, should not fall to take a course of
treatment with Perunn.
Peruna eradicates every vestlgo of the
disease and leaves the system In n normal
condition.
Hon. Joseph fl, Crowley, Congressman
from Illinois, writes from the Natlonnl Ho
