The Smudge says O'Neill could hire a

It seems to us that we heard populists
use that same argument relative to the
clerks hired in the court-house, but
when they got an opportunity to employ
those cheap fellows we took notice that
they paid them- republican thieving
wages. Talk is a good thing on which

Fremont Tribune: Representative
Dick Jeness, of Douglaa county, has
purchased the Atkinsou Graphic and
when the legislature adjourns he will
move to Atkinson and mould thought in
the most approved style. He is a gentle
man and a scholar and an experienced
newspaper man and he will continue the
Graphic as one of the brightest and best
country papers of the state, which
Editor McArthur has made it.
The following-named ladies of the
lodge of Daughters of Rebekab, of this
city, went up to Atkinson Saturday
night to assist the sisters in a little

Sunday morning.
The Smudge calls attention to the
fact that the treasurer's statement, pub
lished in its columns last week, cost the
county but 880, and compares it with
some that have cost as high as 8500. He
takes particular pains to state that
Mullen’s statement makes only about
fifteen inches,' but he is careful not to
say that the ones for which 8500 were
charged covered several pages. But of
course this is nothing but an oversight.
He would not deceive anybody inten
tionally. _
unester Hcttobert died at toe home of
hie parents at Leonia last Sunday night
at the age of 18 years, of typhoid fever.
He was buried Tuesday. Deceased was
an only child of Mr. and Mrs. Idle Me
Robert, and the loss will be hard indeed
for them to bear. All that medical skill
could do was done. Dr. Gilligan re
mained in the sick room constantly for
a week, but despite all that science could
accomplish he grew gradually weaker
and finally passed away as peacefully as
he bad lived. The Frontier extends
its heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved
parents.
The governor has vetoed the change
of venue bill. He says it is unconstitu
tional. There is a probability that it
may be passed over his veto. It is said
that the attorney general may attempt
to try the case in Boyd county, where
Barrett Scott’s body was found and thus
evade the veto, providing it stands. It
is claimed that under Governor Hol
comb’s close interpretation of the con
stitution the murderers might go free by
simply producing witnesses to piove
that Scott was seen alive as he was be
ing forced across the line out of Holt
county, and was therefore not murdered
in Holt county.
Mayor Dickson called the water com*

last Friday afternoon in executive
session. The result of the meeting was
the following notice, which will be
found in close proximity to every water
tap in the city: “To the Patrons of the
City Water Works—You are notified to
allow no person to take from this tap
any water, for any purpose whatever,
except for use in case of Are, or upon
written-permission from the water com
missioner. If this order be violated the
water will be shut off and you will be
charged for the use of water as provided
by section 0, of water ordinance num

Plain view Gazette: Our populist
friends were surprised when told that
Allen made the poorest district Judge
this district ever had. The trouble was
they did not understand law well enough
to see errors in his rulings. The writer
expressed the belief that the supreme
court would reverse a larger portion of
his nrulings than ot the rulings of any
judge in this district. An examination,
of the decisions of the supreme court
made during the last year or two, shows
the correctness of the conclusion. The
examinations show that out of twelve
cases tried before Allen, six were
affirmed and six reversed. Of twenty
nine cases before Norris, nineteen were
affirmed and ten reversed. Of twenty
one cases tried before Kinkaid, fourteen
were affirmed and seven reversed. Of
seventeen casts before Powers, fourteen
were affirmed and three reversed. The
reeord ot Judge Powers is the best, and
the record of Judge Allen the poorest by
considerable.
Politic* in Holt Conntr.
- Some people eay there was no politico
in the murder of Barret Scott. If this
be so, why ia it that only one political
party ia making any attempt to defend
the guilty onea who have beeu identified
aa taking part in the outrageoua murder?
And what are the polltica of thoae who
have been identified? What political
party waa it that applauded John llop
klna when he aaid at an indignation
meeting aome time ago the ‘‘if the conrta
do^not give ua justice, Judge Lynch
Members of what political party wore
they who disguised themselvea by tying
raga over their faces, and laid In wait
upon the public - highway In order to
attack a cripple with hla family, wound
ing him and a young lady, shooting the
team and separating forever in this life
husband and father from his loving
wife and daughter. Such a crime is
only tolerated by the savage nations of
heathendom.
And this is done by the so-called re
form party. May God save us from any
more such reform.
Who was it that said Barrett Scott
was "spirited away by h!a friends?"
And what are their politics?
And what are the politics of those
who circulated a false telegram stating
that Scott was in Minnesota?
And what are the politics of those
who said that Miss McWhorter was not
wounded?
What are the politics of those who
said that enongh money bad been spent
on Scott and that the people had better
give up the search for the body? This
waa all the murderers themselves could
have asked.
What are the politics of the sheriff
who informed Mullihan that he was
suspected of being a party to the murder,
but did not arrest him? giv
ing him all chances 6f skipping the
country or mustering up evidence to
clear himself? Is he not the same mau
who circulated the false telegram that
Scott was seen in Minnesota?
What are the politics of the court that
let the prisoners out on ball, contrary
to the constitution of our republic,
which says that a crime shall not be
bailable where the proof is evident or
the presumption great They were iden
tified and no evidence offered in defense.
What are the politics of their defend
ers in court? Are they not the same
parties who have made school-house
speeches and thereby assisted the anarcb
ist paper in educating the people of
small calibre to riot?
These parties try to justify themselves
by saying that Scott stole $70,000 of
nun. county money. ji mat jusuues
murder, what would become of tbe
county board that invalidated Scott’s
official bond? Tbe bond bad been ap
proved by tbe board in the sum of
$150,000 and filed by tbe clerk for
record. Wbo stole tbe most, tbe board
when it took $150,000 in bonds, or Scott
when be took $70,000 in cash?
Wbo bad tbe majority on the county
board at tbe time Scott’s official bond
was destroyed?
Tbe pop party seems to think that if
Scott did something wrong it must do
something worse. Therefore they get
down to highway murder. I defy Scott
or any other man to do anything more
corrupt than that.
The men who think there was no
politics in the murder of Barrett Scott
must be yery shortsighted—and there
fore it is no wonder that they are pops.
We learn in tbe blble on a certain page
That a thief upon the oross was saved.
But read the good book through and through
And you will find no promise left the Wand
ering Jew.
He has sinned away hts day of grace
By corrupting of the human race.
And now he runs the narrow gage
from O’Neill city to the town of Page.
The Close Observer.
The Law in the Case.
Tns Frontier is weary. It is weary
of hearing a lot of superannuated fossils
censuring. Attorney General Churchill
for taking charge of the prosecution of
the Scott murder case. We are weary
Ctllail f A fiiornnUn
these dishonest croakers.
The attorney general is an officer of
the state of Nebraska; his duties are
clearly defined by the statute and we do
not believe any man is justified in tak
ing issue with him when he is following
the letter of the law. The section of
the statute covering the case reads:
The attorney general shall appear for
the state and prosecute and defend all
actions and proceedings, civil or crimi
nal, m the supreme court, in which the
state shall be interested or a party, and
shall, also,' when requested by the gov
ernor, or either branch of the legislature
appear for the state and prosecute and
defend in any other court, or before
any officer, any cause or matter, civil or
criminal, in which the state may be a
party, or interested.
In this instance the attorney was re
quested by the governor to take charge
of the case. Parties feeling aggrieved
should lay the responsibility where it
belongs.
Further comment in a case so clear
would be superfluous.
Word reaches us from the noith
that the vigilantes are again at work
and that the case of an old crippled
German is now on trial in the “Niobrara
District." He was notified to leave the
country within a certain number of days
but failed to do so. One day last week
he applied for relief at the county dis
tributing point in his precinct and was
refused. It1 is charged that his boys
were guilty of catching up and riding
horses found running wild on the
prairies, and for this offense be must
leave his home. How much truth there
is in this report Tor Frontier cannot
say, as it received its information from
the grapevine wire.

Soliloquy of the Untcraped Horn.
They accuse me of bearing on this lofty brow
The brand of the murderer. Gain.
Because, so 'tie said, It wus through my
advice
That Scotty, the boodlor, was slain.
They say I'm tho father of tho murderous
scheme,
That X searched every hamlet and oot,
To plok a good nervy gang from tho vlgllant'i
dun.
And a captain who'd match to a dot.
If their story be true, my suooess was Im
mense.
_ As the following sequel will tell;
For a likelier crew such a " job” tu do
You'd source find In the oonflnes of boll.
They came from the canyons, the gulches and
plains;
On horseback, In oarts and In buggies ga
lore,
tilth masks on their tacos and guns in theli
hands—
To tho rendeavous—Parker's old store.
Hero once stood a "toddy,"—now gone tc
decay.
And a collar-hole dug along side—
was the very spot—just a natural plaoe
For the oowardly ooyotes to hide.
And hero from the sight of the paster, seourc
They lie. awaiting their satan-set task;
Their hides fairly bursting with devilish glee
At the thoughts of old Scott In their grasp,
When at last o'er the pralrlo the carriage was
seen—
With Its burden of human lives,
Twould have curdled the blood in a sphinx
to have seen
The fleroe gleam of the captain's eyes.
Bnt swiftly on o'er the dreary plain
With no thought of Impending harm,
The faithful greys their master boro
Wlthlu reach of the assassins' arm.
Who caif tell of the Joys, or the sorrows, may
hap.
Of the man whom the carriage contained,
As he came swirtly to meet, In Its hidden re
treat,
A doom whloh the fates had ordained?
Kind-hearted he was. with a free open hand,
_Who ne’or oould refuse a good "turn;”
Why should be believe that the heart of man
kind
Toward him with suoh hatred should burn?
HeJ'scovered however, In surprise and alarm.
That there were thoae who suoh feelings did
bear,
For when "hailing" dlstanoe of the eovert
was gained
They sprung like will beasts from their lair.
This frightened the horses—a spirited pair—
And a few onward panes they bound—
The report of a rtlle rings out on the air
And one of them falls to the ground.
The first blood Is spilled—'tls but that of a
beast,
But Its Kent In their nostrils madden the
fiends—
The dell In their breasts Is unchain'd.
And a murderous volley of lead from their
_ guns
On the Ill-fated party Is rained.
The shrieks of the wife, the cries of the babe,
Wero as sounds of the wind to the vlgUanta'
ears:
Had their volley proved fatal to mother.,Wnd
child.
Not an eye In the band would have moist
ened with tears.
It miraculoua seems, but ’tie ne'ertheless
true,
Not u soul la the carriage met with serious
_ . h«'0i
Their guardian angels must bave been with
them then
Or the Father above with His sheltering
arm.
The wheels of the carriage are motionless
now.
And ’neath Its sbot-rjddled canopy cower,
The Intended victim, surrounded with friends,
But nonetheless In the vigilante* power.
“Get out o' there, Soott !*' orled the chief o’ the
gang,
As his eyes, like a tiger's, o'er the poor fel
low gloat;
Who, not Instantly heeding the villain's oom
mand.
Felt the gripe of a murderous hand on bis
throat.
Accompanying Scott's party on this fateful
day.
Was a lass who was surely a stranger to
fear;
Whloh characteristic you will frequently see
In the girls born ana reared on the western
frontier.
As Scott was being ruthlessly torn from bis
By the boss o’ this villainous, vlgllants'
band,
She sprang to his rescue—the result as 'twas
seen,
Were the marks of her nails on the murder
er's band.
The grip on the throat of poor Scotty was
LoobocI
Who, well-knowing that further resistance
was vain,
Stepped from the carriage, from those to him
dear,
Into the midst of his foes oc the desolate
plain.
"We are after that Holt oounty money vou
'TIs for that you are held up today;
you want to produce it, and that mighty
quick
' Or your life the whole forfeit must pay."
8cott hadn't the money and stated as much,
But agreed, if they'd come to O’Neill—
To give them free aocess to his papers and
books—
That nothing, from them, would he try to
conceal.
Soott protested that this was the best he
could do.
But the offer, by them, with contempt was
declined;
In fact, the subject of money was Introduced
as a means
Of diverting his thoughts from their true
purpose in mind.
Butf they went through his pockets and like
wise the grips;
From the former they drew forth a gun,
The contents of which they should have re
ceived
In lieu of any Holt county "mon."
The wife of their victim then went to his side.
Her heart overflowing with grief and alarm.
To leave nothing undone which her thoughts
might suggest
To divert from the loved one any impend
ing harm.
Bbe prayed that the life of her husband be
spared.
And while making this plea to the ungodly
crew.
Her keen eyes were bent upon those of the
mob;
This feature alone being exposed to her
view.
Her object in this was to try and discover
If to her a faint ray of hope they might bear;
That the eye is a mfrrorof the soul she be
lieves.
For no sign of goodness was reflected there.
Her searching glances into the eyes of these
men,
Were soon after found to be not wholly In
vain.
For the color and expression In those of the
chief
Were scared as with a white-heated brand
on her brain,
Anotherthere was whose peculiar orbs proved
An accessory, to be, of this outrageous
orlme.

We ere pleased to announce to our
friends and customers that our spring
stock of Dry Goods Is nearly all in and
on Saturday, March 10, we will be ready
to exhibit the prettiest and most stylish
stock of dress goods ever shown in the
city. It is true that everyone must buy
more or less dress goods and it don’t
cost an/ more to buy a stylish dress
than old pattern; in fact the prices are
so low this year that the new styles are
the cheapest. It is reraaikable how
cheap dress goods are this spring and we
invite you all to come Saturday and ex
amine the line. We also have a new
line of Laces, Braids, Trimmings, Un
derwear, Hosiery, Gloves, etc., all of
which you will find much cheaper than
you have ever seen them before.
Our stock of clothing is arriving and
we can show some wonderfnl bargains.
For instance, a good All Wool, Black
Worsted for $10.00. This is a genuine
Clay Worsted, and a big bargain and is
only a fair sample of our line.
Tours truly, J. P. Mann.

failed and closed its doors, you will find
a market for your butter and eggs at my
store, where you will receive the highest
market price. P. J. McManus.
