Time Table
Richardson Ford Held to Have Acted
Within Authority in Deciding to Buy
Material No Pardon for Murderer
Hawkins.
Lincoln Ma 1 1 According to the
lUpfeme court which handed down a
Dumber of opinions, t h state food
cnmu.issionc:' exi '-piled his authority
when he made a rule that buyers of
cream should not pay for the MUM on
the dav of purchase The regulation
was made under the law which provld
ed that i renin should he sold under
such regulations as the commissioner
should promulgate. The court holds
this provision Is too broad and gives
the commissioner legislative power,
which the legislature had no right to
delegate to that offcial. The regula
i:on was Intended to nhtain better test
ing of cream, as It was held that. In
Mte rush of receiving the tester would
not properly perform his work and If
payment was not made that day a
sample could he taken and the test
made at leisure.
M. Elan of Richardson county was
arrested for violating the rule and dis
charged. th state appealing. The low
er court was sustained.
Guy A. Cronlis. who sought, to pre
vent the county hoard of Richardson
county from living material and con
trading its own bridges, loses in the
supreme court. The county board re
jected bridge bids, alleging there was
a combine among bidders and th
prices were too high, and decided to
do its own bridge work. Crook
sougln to have the court 'compel the
county to readvertlse and let con
tracts. The lower court decided
against him and this verdict was sua
tained.
No Clemency for Hawkins.
The governor has refused to gram
a pardon to Andrew Hawkins, sent up
for life from Frontier county for the
murder of Thomas Jensen In 1897.
The pardon board reported adversely
on the petition. There was a largely
signed remonstrance against paiMon,
signed by people in Frontier county.
Jensen, who was a wealthy man. was
killed while near Stockvllle attending
to business affairs. A son devoted
several months to the search for his
father after the disappearance and
finally found his body in a well neat
the Hawkins home, and on top of the
body was a large amount of manure,
which Hawkins had placed there. The
case caused great excitement in Fron
tier county at the time and public
feeling was Intense.
Not Kidnaping to Elope
The supreme court says It Is not
kidnaping to elope with a sixteen-year-old
girl and marry her, if the girl is
willing. This opinion was handed
down in the case of Fred M. Fitiger-1
aid, convicted of the charge in Hayes
rountv. The case Is reversed and re
manded with instructions to dismiss.
The evidence discloses, the court says,
that the girl. Alice Barrett, went away
willingly, and there was no effort to
onceal the- f.ict of the marriage, and
no criminal intent shown.
Citizens Granted Concessions
In the action brought by the citi
zens of Bethany for a 5-cent fare on
the Umaha, Lincoln and Beatrice inter
urban, the railway commission ruled
adversely and ordered that the com
pany must carry baggage free when
accompanied by passengers, must
make a special rate for children and
must sell the round trip commutation
tickets on the trains instead of only
at the company's office in Lincoln, as
now.
