..Alppday.pr.e&S dispatches from Wash,
ington, D, C, bring news that the
supreme court of the United States on
that day refused to review the convic
tion on the charge of land frauds in
Nebraska of Bartlett Richards, Will
G. Comstock, Chas. C. Jameson and
Aquilla Triplett. Richards and Com
stock were sentenced to imprisonment
for one year and Jameson and Trip
lett for etght months, besides being
fined.
We are frank to say that, whatever
others may think, The Hei aid's sym
pathy is with these men; but we be
lieve that in expressing our sentiments
ve express, also, the almost universal
feeling of the people of this part of
Nebraska. We do not for one moment
sanction the violation of law, and we
most heartily endorse all honest ef.
forts at law enforcement; but it is self,
evident that the penalty should be in
proportion to the wrong done others.
There are mitigating circumstances
that should temper, if not altogether
cancel, the penalty inflicted for techni
cal violation of law.
But few men have done as much for
the development of this country as
these men. From land that formerly
was as unproductive as a desert waste
they have brought forth taxable wealth;
by giving employment to other men,
and furnishing a home market for their
produce, thev have helped in the set
tlement of the country. In other parts
of the United States are trust magnates
who violate the anti-trust laws with
impunity, their violation of law work
ing a hardship upon thousands of peo
ple; but those law breakers either go
scot free or are let off with a fine too
light for them to feel financially; while
men, whose reputation for honesty and
fair dealing is unsullied, are consigned
to prison for technically violating law
in bringing into productivity a hereto
fore barren country.
To us it doesn't look right.
A New Professor
Wednesday morning it was cold.
And olthough most people wre shiver
ing and buttoning their overcoats (if
they had one) up tightly, one Herald
office visitor came in with a smile that
warmed the whole office force. The
visitor was Prof. G. M. Burns, of the
Alliance school force, who couldn't
keep the good news and before we had
time to ask the why and wherefore of
the smile, whispered, "It's a boy; born
at eight o'clock this morning. Doing
fine." Prof. Burns was gone immedi
ately but that was sufficient. This
makes the third boy in his family
whose birthday occurs on Wednesday.
Hallowe'en Dance
Attacks Marshal Martin and is ,
Chased by Posse. '
The wild west times of years ago
were brought to memory last Friday
morning and the mettle of several
brave Alliance men tested to a finisji.
R. McFall had been arrested by Cy
Marshal Martin, who was taking him
from the Alliance hotel, where he had
been disorderly and drunk, to the
police station. v
At a point just across from the Ma
jestic theatre and in the street by Wat
son's grocery store, Officer Martin was
attacked by R. E. Hughes, who struck
him from behind, staggering him,
Martin drew his revolver and fired at
Hughes, missing him. Hughes then
grabbed the gun and after striking
Martin with it several times, and hold
ing the crowd at bay, made for the
railroad yards down the alley.
Revolvers were secured from the
Cook saloon by Simon Spry, F. W.
Lester, Officer Martin and others and
chase started for the fugitive. McFall
was first captured in the alley, and
turned over to a deputy. By this time
Hughes had gained the yards and was
making his way east along a line of
box cars, looking for a hiding place,
while he was being watched by a crowd
from the viaduct; no one caring to ap
proach him while he had the gun.
With Spry and Lester in the lead
with drawn revolvers, the posse made
for Hughes, who seeing he was caught,
turned and came back towards the
band of men. He had placed the gun
in his pocket and seemed undecided
whether to shoot. He waB ordered to
throw up his hands but refused at first,
and if he had not complied with the
second request the chances are that he
would now be a dead man and he will
probably never come nearer to death
again.
It required cburage and steady
nerves for men like Spry and tester
to advance on a man. known to be
desperate as he was, and with revtdvert

there with the goods" and although
they knew that he might at any mom
ent begin dealing death with his re
volver, they advanced step by step and
with guns held at breast bearched him;
took away his revolver and knife; and
with the now thoroughly cowed man,
who was regarded in a menacing man
ner by the constantly crowiug crowd,
took him to the city jail.
Saturday morning McFall and
Hughes were brought before Police
Judge Sum for " trial. t McFall was
fined five dollars and costs lor being
drunk and disorderly; Hughes pleaded
guilty to the charge of resisting an of
ficer and creating a disturbance and
was fined the limit, fifty dollars and
costs. It is rumored that a state
charge may he brought against him,
but he seems well punished for his
rash act and doubtless the lesson
taught him this time will in the future
cause him to keep as far as possible
from Alliance
Pictures were secured by The Her
ald reporter of the chase and capture
and can be seen at The Herald office.
'thTclimax"

The Coming Good Attraction at the
Phelan Opera House
In these days of dramatic depravity
when anything and everything passes
for art" it is a positive relief to wel
come such a clean, wholesome and un
deniably great play like "The Climax,"
which is booked to play in the Phelan
opera house on Thursday night of next
week, October 27.
The story is of a young woman,
Adelina von Hagen, who comes to New
York from the middle west to study
music and to develop her voice as a
singer. She resides in the household
of her instructor, Luigi Golfanti, and
is beloved by his son, Pietro. She is
also beloved by John Raymond, a
young physician from her home town,
A minor operation becomes necessary
to relieve her throat. It is performed
by a specialist after which Adelina is
left in the care of Doctor Raymond.
Previously, however, the girl has re
jected both suitors, in order to follow
the delightful will-o-tbe-wisp, a stage
career V. Kaymond employs men
tal suggestion to destroy the girl's abil
ity to sing. The situations are in
tense, although natural and unlabored.
There is an unusual comedy relief, the
two together forming what has been
pronounced the best play in years.
Myic plays such an important part
in this beautiful little drama that it is
often referred to as a melody play,
"The Song of the Soul," sung during
the performance, has become one of
the most popular songs published in
j ears. There is a haunting familiarity
in all the music and the audience leaves
the theatre trying to whistle it. While
it is popular there is a decided intrica
cy of the airs.
