J. II. SEID.
HELD TO THE DISTRICT COURT
Aubam Herald.
Last week the Herald contained an
account of the! arrest of Thomas J. Ma
jors, jr., and Frank McKinney, on the
charge of BtatUory rape upou the per
son of Ruth Ellis, the 15-year-old
daughter of Ptef . G. W. Ellis, late of
our public schools, und formerly one of
the faculty of the State Normal school
at Feru. The. day following the officers
arrested Roy King of Shubert. A war
rant was also issued for the arrest of
Hallie Majors, eon of W. E. Majors, of
Peru, but he W gotten wind of the
affair and left or parts unknown. It
was reported that ho wai arrested at
St. Louis, but the report lacks verifi
cation. The preliminary examination was
begun on Saturday, the court taking up
the bearing of McKinney first. County
Attorney Fornoau, W. H. Kelligar of
this city, and Judge Sloan of Nebraska
City appeared for the prosecution, and
the defense waa represented by G. W.
Cornell of Auburn and T. L. Hall of
Falls City.
Promptly at the time set for the
bearing the court room was packed by
a curious crowd who were attracted by
the sensational nature of the testimo
ny, and notwithstanding the intense
heat the crowd grew larger as the case
progressed. McKinney plead not gull
ty to the charge.
Tho girl waB the first witness tor
oxamiued. She is a mere child, thi
and pale faced, and does not look to
a day over 44, years of age. Natural!
the Bight of her and thought of he:
condition excited the sympathy of th
people. Her evidence was damagin
to the defense. A largo, number of
witnesses wetre examined both for the
State and lor tke defense, and the law2
yera fought at almost every point over
tho admission of testimony, during
which some hot words were exchanged
by the counsel, and several stirring
scenes were enacted. The testimony
was not concluded until Monday after-,
noon, when Judge Lambert, who pro
sided in tho case, bound McKinney
over to the district court, fixing his
bond at 92,60. Owing to tho short
time intervening until the district
court, ho made no effort t procure bail
and wont to jail.
Theprellraiuary hearing of yomng
Majors was then begun, which waa
Mostly a repetition of tho former hoar
ing. The evidence waa very streag
against Majors, and bail for his appear
ance in district court was fixed at
$3,00.
After Majors' hearing, which ended
Tuesday afternoon, jRoy King was
brought into court on the same charge,
Th girl gave her evidence, which was
deeniod sufficient to hold King to tho
district court, and his bond was placed
$3,000. Majors and King furnished
bonds for appearance.
One of tho witnesses in tho case was
W. J. Abrams of Peru a man of
nearly GO years of age. His evidence
and that of others closely implicated
him in the case. From what was said
it was generally believed that ho was
ono of the guilty parties, and indigna
tion for a time against the man ran
very high. Abrams left town as soon
as he was excused from the witness
stand, and it is reported he went to
Texas. If the man had remained here
ever night the incensed people would
no doubt have taken the law into their
own hands and at least treated the
wretch to a coat of tar and feathers.
He is charged with offense against a
number uf little girls In this city and
Anburn.
Granger: The parents of all the par
ties concerned are of Nemaha county's
best citizens. Both McKinney and
King are married men, though McKin
ney and his wife separated some weeks
since. Majors is about 18 years of ugo,
while Hallie Majors, whoso where
abouts have not yet been learned, is
not yet of age.

STRAY OBSERVATIONS.
"It's an ill wind that blows nobody
good." Tho park needed mewing.
Tho old settlers' picnic this fall
promises to be the most successful oc
casion of tho kind ever held in the
county. Everybody in the county
will want to hear Dava Mercer.
Very little satisfaction can be se
cured from a- political argument in
Nemaha county these days. When a
populist brags about stato warrants
being at par under the pop adminis
tration, his republican opponent be
gins to crow about tho bettor prices
for corn and hogs under "McKlnloy
prosperity." And there you are.

school, and will doubtless oboeio men
next Monday who will take as much
prido in keeping up our school to its
present high standard as have Messrs.
Woodward and Howe.
Nemaha hu had no saloois for
years, and the schools have consequent
ly had no revenue derived from 11
eenae, but our schools have kept right
on and are above the average for towns
of this size. Our teachers receive just
as good salaries as are paid in saloon
towns, and our taxpayers are not kick
ing very hard about burdensome
school taxes, all of which goes to show
that tke Idea some people in Bomo
towns have that schools cannot exist
without saloons is a worm-oaten
chestnut.
