Rushville Standard: It has often been stated in our bearing that Judge Kinkaid was shaping his business affairs with a view to going to Colorado after his term of office expired.

The Standard is pleased to know the judge will remain a citizen of Nebraska. Hard times seem to be an incentive to matrimony.

For the past two years Mr. Gallagher has resided at Spencer where he lias had charge of McCafferty’s hardware store, lie had not felt well the past three or four months and about a week ago, occom panied by his wife, ho went to Laurel, where bis brother resides, to receive treatment, where he died as above stated. A coffin was sent down from here this morning and the remains will be brought to this city tonight. The funeral will tako place from the Catholic church, in this city, to-morrow morning at 8 o’clock. The decenscd leaves a wife and two young children to mourn his demise. Tub FitoNTiitn extends to the bereaved family and relatives Its sym pathy. A special from Newport to the State Journal on last Tuesday says that “Evans Scott, a rancntnan living twelve miles south of town, shot and killed ono of his farm hands, named W. C. Kirckucre, this morning. Scott and Kirchuere had h quarrel yesterday about wages, and af ter a settlement Kirchure was discharg ed. This morning Scott londed a gun with buckshot and started on Kirchu ere’s trail. lie found him near the ranch with a companion and without a word of warning shot him in the side, killing him instantly. lie then lied and Kircliucre’s friend reported the deed to the officers here who ure now in pursuit of Scott. Kirchuere was only eighteen years old and of an inoffensive disposi tion.” This is the worst report of the unfortunate affair that we have been able to find. Other rumors say that the deceased was an all around tough and that the killing was justifiable. Prom the fact that Scott has been re leased, on $2,500 bail it would nppcnr that the affair is not as bloodthirsty ns indicated above. Mr. Scott is a brother of Barrett’s and was at one time a resi dent of this county. Word reaches us this morning that the nmn was not kill ed at all and will probaby recover. Mr. Erford, of Seward, chairman of the finance committee of the Workmen, was in the city last Friday evening ami attended a meeting of the lodge. lie was on a tour of inspection, making report of the condition of local lodges in the state, and found this branch in excellent condition, having an active membership of seventy-five and a large general fund to carry it through the hard times. He delivered an address of a couple of hours’ to the meeting and con gratulated the officers and members upon their prosperous condition. He was not here for the purpose of advising the lodge in regard to the proposed new building, as had been reported.

Of a Complete Livery Outfit, Consisting of Horses, Buggies, Harnesses, Whips and Laprobes, On Saturday, December IS, 1894, At 2 o’clock p. in. at Checkered Livery Harn in O'Neill. j Livery Harn It seems that the Jew has shut up like a clam—which he is—on the Scott bond case. For a week or two we were in clined to think the Smudge would im peach Judge Chapman and his reporter, but we surmise that little dialogue be tween the judge and Harrington, taken from the official record and published by us, had the effect of soothing the Jew’s indignation. Gutzy occasionally rea lizes when he is whipped and sneaks down and out like a cringing cur with a tin can rattling at the terminus of its spinal column, lie has not the man hood to apologize when lie is caught libeling a person, nor the honesty to re tract when a brazen lie is diiven home to his foul pen. When the time arrives for the commencement of the decompo sition of his vile carcass—some people might say dissolution instead or decom position, but we make a distinction be tween the terms: decomposition Is but the decay of animal matter, while dis solution, as we love to think of it, is the parting of soul and body, and as the Jew has no soul the word decomposed is correctly used. Hut what we were going to say was that when he comeB to die, and hnn a little, narrow, contracted soul that thus far has failed to come to the surface in his workings in the flesh, it will be well for the devil to sleep with one hand on his gun. lest his crown be wrested from him by the sulphuric shade of this man who has succeeded in con centrating in his being almost all ot the vices of his race. The farmers of Holt county have it in their power to make or break the county. They occupy a responsible position and one that should not be treated lightly or indifferently. It takes a certain number of acres of water rights to secure an irrigation ditch and every man in the county should interest himself in the matter and sec that the required amount is secured. No man should feel any hesitancy in encumbering his farm to secure something to make his farm valuable, when it is conceded that with out that something the real estate is valueless. Land owners who are within reach of the ditch or any of its laterals do themselves an injustice if they fail to partake liberally of water-rights. The officers of the irrigation company are not complaining but are confident that little trouble will be experienced in securing enough rights to insure the building of the ditch. Tub Fkontieh believes it to be the interest of farmers along the diteh to take out their rights at once, ns the company will agree to water but a limited number of acres be fore the ditch is built and its capacity tested by actual work. Simply because some man owns a nice farm ad jacent to the ditch does not mean that he shall enjoy the luxury of water in dry seasons unless he lias a contract calling for the same. Urcat interest is being taken in the matter by the other counties through which the ditch will pass, every mail bringing in contracts covering many acres. It will lie to Holt county’s ever lasting advantage to secure as large an I acreage as possible. Another Chapter. Tbo pant week line written another chapter in the Bcott embezzlement case, an will be aeon from tbo following, taken from the Lincoln Journal, date of December 7: “Barrett Scott, the ex-county treasurer of Holt county who was convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary and to pay to Holt county the sum of $05,070 and costs of prosecution, was admitted to bail yesterday by tho supreme court on the usual application, in the sum of $40,000, Tho bond has been forwarded to Scott and after being signed by sureties it will he returned to Clerk D. A. Campbell for approval. “This celebrated case has been befoie the courts and public since Scott fled to Mexico ond was brought back on a requisition after quite a lot of quibbling over extradition papers. He was charged with embezzling $70,000 worth >>f county funds. In a recent trial in Holt county some of his bondvtnen were relieved from liability ns a result of manipulation of the bond by a pop county board. More recently Scott was tried for embezzlement in Antelope county, whither the prosecution took. the case on a change of venue, and was convicted as stated. He has since been in iuil ••The case was brought to the supreme court on error by J. 13. Barnes and others, Scott's attorneys. If appearing that there is probable error, the court suspend sentence pending a review of the case and admitted Scott to bail until the case shall he determined. “The allegation is made by Scott’s at torneys tlint the lower court erred in in creasing the bond from $24,000 to $70, 000, and in denying bis application for a change of venue from Bolt county to somo adjoining county in the same ju dicial district, and in changing the place of trial to Antelope county, which is in another judicial district, without his consent and ove’r his objections, and also that the court erred in placing him on trial in a county other than the one in which the crime was committed.'' Mr. Scott came up to O’Neill last Saturday afternoon, in company with Pom Clark, deputy sheriff of Antelope county, to secure the lequired bond. By Monday night a bond had been justi fied in the amount of over S.IO.OOO and signed by a great many who did not justify, and Tuesday morning Mr. Scott returned with the deputy sheriff to Neligh. where he will.remain in custody until the bond is approved by the clerk of the supreme court. The bond Was taken before clerk of the courpSkirving. If the review of the case is not ad vanced upon the docket, but takes its natural course in the supreme court, ills not probable that it will be reached in less than one year. Legal opinion differs materially upon ths situation the case would he in should the supreme conrt decide that Scott was unlawfully sent to antelope county for trial. Some men learned in the law sav that in that event be ennnot be tried again, while other men equally learned in the law say that it would do nothing but grant him a new trial. Under these conditions and circumstances we are not supposed to know enough about it to venture an opinion, a prediction or a guess. Notice. There will be a meeting of the Holt County Irrigation Society at the court house in O’Neill, at 10 o'clock A. m., on Saturday, December 15, 1894.
