The Frontier Libel Sait.
The criminal libel suit brought by Ex
County Attorney Butler against tbe
editor of The Frontier was dismissed by
County Attorney Mul'en last Friday,
tbe latter informing tbe court that be
had looked tbe matter up carefully and
was convinced that there was no chance
for a conviction on the charge, and as
tbe prosecuting attorney of Holt county
dismissed tbe case.
The case was called Thursday at 1:30
in tbe county court for a preliminary
beating. \V. H. Butler prosecuted and
R. Ii. Dickson appeared for tbe defense.
Couutv Attorney Mullett was present
but took no part in tbe case Butler in
troduced the assesor s schedule to prove
that Cronin was manager of Tbe Fron
tier. He took tbe witness stand himself
to testify that the signature to thesched
ule and the haudwritiug was that of the
defendant. He also testified to having
seen copies of The Frontier which con
tained tbe ulleged libelous article in
Omaha, Liucolu and Neligb; that in
Bassett he had seen a copy of The Fron
tier but could not testify as to whether
it was of that particular date or not. He
tueu introduced a copy of The Frontier
dated April 26, 1000. The prosecution
then rested. Attorney Dickson moved
to dismiss because the publication was
priviledged.it being judicial proceedings
and that in order to have grouuds for
action against tbe defendant it was nec
essary for plaintiff to prove the publi
cation malicious and tbe statements
false Mr. Dickson presented numerous
authorities to sustain bis position and
argued on tbe motion at considerable
length. Mr. Butler in replying contend
ed that tbe publication was not privil
eiged, that it was libelous and present
ed a few authorities Judge Selab said
it would be necessary for him to look up
some authorities on the question before
ruling on tbe motion and au adjourn
ment was taken until Friday afternoon
at 1:30. When court conveued tbe next
day Judge Stlah said that while tbe pub
lication of the allegations in tbe disbar
ment proceeding, being court proceed
ings, was a privik-dged publication tbe
comments thereon weie not such as to
make tbe entire article priviledged and
therefore overruled tbe motion to dis
miss. Tbe defense then asked that tbe
case be adjourned until the following
Monday in order to get witnesses here.
It was agreed to mid Judge Selab was
issuing subpoenas when County Attor
ucy Mulleu dismissed tbe case.
A. O. Perry is in tbe city today.

Fire Scare.
While the wind was sweeping from
the northwest like a hurricane Tuesday,
people quietly plodding la way in office*
shop and home were startled by the
(ire alarm suddenly clanging out in
loud tones. A prarieflre raging furious
ly north of town had got threatenly
close and it was necessary that some
action be taken to prevent the fire from **
getting into town. The fire department
and some 200 citizens were soon on the
grounds and with the advantaged afford
ed by the fire having several bare places
to leap before it could get into town they
soon reduced the wild flames to harmless
ashes. Owing to the severity of the
wind great havoc would have been
wrought had the fire got into town.
