Bishop Says No Violence Was
Offered to Him at Ulysses.
MAKES WAY BACK TO LINCOLN.
8ays Only Indignity He Suffered, Acids
From Rude Remarks, Was Being
Forced to Walk Four Miles to Gar
rlton Father Mirphy, Who Clashed
With Catholic Dignitary, Tells Rea
sons for the Demonstration.
Lincoln, June 21. lit." Rev. Bishop
Bonacum returned from Butler couu
ty, and minimized tho demonstration
at Ulysses laut week, "n which he wab
pictured as being driven trom the
town "by an angry mob.
No violence, Bishop Bonacum said,
was offered him and the extent of the
demonstration toward tho two priests
who accompanied him was limited to
rude remarks by a small purty'of men
and boys. Tho only Indignity he suf
fered, tho bishop snld, wna when, after
leaving Ulysses in a livery rig for
David City, a party of men followed
in an automobile and compelled tho
liveryman to abandon his passengers,
necessitating their walking a dlstanco
of four miles to the village of Garri
son, where they wcro accommodated
for the night.
Bishop Bonacum said he was con
vlnced tho action at Ulysses was in
cited, but In the absence of positive
proof ho was not prepared to make
any charge as yet. HIb mission to
Ulysses, he added, was not to Install
n priest in place of Father Murphy,
the priest he has excommunicated, but
to hold a meeting of the trustees of
the Catholic church nt that place pre
liminary to a suit in the district court
restraining Father Murphy from Inter
fering In nny way wjth the parish
property. This suit, Bishop Bonacum
said, will bo heard this week in the
district court at David City.
Father Murphy Talks of Trouble.
A dispatch from Ulysses Bays the
feeling there Is bitter toward the
bishop, and the people are loyal to
Father Murphy.
Father Murphy said: "Bishop Bon
acum, with two priests, by whom he
sought to secure a legal majority, at
tempted to overbear the church trus
tees of Ulysses. HIb object was to go
through the form, of a regular church
meeting and pass a resolution aimed
to oust mo from tho church. This res
olution, hnd it passed, would have
been used as the basis of legal pro
ceedings Buch ns were followed to re
move me from the church at Sownrd.
Tho Ulysses trustoes refused to meet
with the bishop. Tho meeting then
was opened In tho hotel. The bishop
had called It to order and a resolution
was proposed, when the people, Indig
nant nt the procedure, swept in and
smothered the whole thing."

WHEAT GROWERS MEET
Union Favors Elimination of Middle
men's Profit In Sale of Grain.
Hastings, Nob., Juno 22. Instead of
fixing a pool or pledge price for win
ter wheat, ns was contemplated in he
call, the district union No. 2, winter
wheat growers' branch of the Ameri
can Society of Equity, concluded a
two' days' convention after adopting
resolutions favoring the elimination
of all middlemen's profit in the sale ot
grain.
The union coders tho states of Ne
braska, Kansas and Oklahoma, but
most of the work of organization has
been dono In Nebraska and all of the
representation at tho convention wns
from this state. There were sixty-five
delegates, each representing a local
brnrjeh, besides a number of othei
visitors.
Officers of the union sny that ro
ports have been current that grain
dealers were contracting ahead for
wheat, to be dellverea in September,
at $1.17. They Bay this was merely a
"bluff" to head off action by the union
and thnt thus far they have been un
able to find anybody willing to pay
that price.
In other resolutions adopted tho
union declares that 90 per cent of the
violent fluctuations that occur In the
price of farm products that constitute
the necessities of Mfo Is the direct re
sult of market manipulation by specu
lators and amounts to "legalized rob
bery." FOUR INCHES OF HAIL AT ELI

eer want to try it again. Nolan made
the run from Ravcuua to Alliance in 5

passenger trains on the Alliance Div'n

those on the Lincoln Div'n may run 55
miles per hour, and that the road from
Ravenna here is nearly all up hill,
while the run from Lincoln to Hastings
is practically a level piece of track, we
believe that Nolan made the best run.
