ASKS COURT FOR
CHANGE OF VENUE
DIES IN
CHICAGO
Attorney For Fred Ossenkop
Files Motion Saturday
Attorney Matthew Gering is mak
ing a determined and desperate fight
to protect the rights of Fred Ossen
kop. his client, and has filed two
several motions which aim to secure
the quashing of the present panel
of regular Jurors for this term and,
that failing, another motion support
ed by affidavits has been filed for
a change of venue.
The first motion goes to the meth
od under which the present Jury was
drawn and attacks the validity of the
panel and their right to serve at this
term of court. The statute, it is con
tended, is mandatory In the provis
ion which requires the district Judge
to set the terms of the district court
upon the first of the year. Ttois was
done by Judge Travis as required
by law. After the terms have been
set the county commissioners the re
quired to select a list of sixty names
equally proportioned among the sev
eral precincts of the county, which
list must be filed within five days
with the clerk of the district court
who In conjunction with the sheriff,
then draws the twenty-four Jurymen.
This list must be prepared not less
than fifteen days before the time of
the court sitting. The venire and
subpoenas are then prepared and
served as usual.
It is contended by the counsel for
the defense in this case that on De
cember 15th the county commission
ers selected the nemes for the clerk
of the court but that they showed
the list as selected for the "Febru
ary" term of the court and further
more that the law as to the names
equally proportioned among the sev
eral precincts was not observed in
selecting the list. In behalf of the
defense the record of the commis
sioners shows that the names were
chosen for the "February" term as
contended and It also shows that,
compared with the vote polled at the
November election, the rule of pro
portionate representation was not ob
served. The record was introduced
upon the argument of the motion
showing these facts and the County
Attorney also admitted the fact that
the county polled 5,140 votes In
November and the official table was
correct.
After the list had been filed with
the clerk and on December 28, the
clerk of the district court issued the
venire upon Information from Judge
Travis that he had set the next term
of court for January 17, and desired
the jury to report on January 25.
This was the date set by the clerk in
the subpoenas Issued for Jurymen.
This motion was argued by Counsel
Gering for the defense and County
Attorney Ramsey, and is now under
advisement by Judge Travis.
The motion for a change of venue
was filed late Saturday evening by
Mr. Gering and alleges that owlnz
to the bias and prejudice existing in
the county, and the number of mur
ders which has taken place
it would be Impossible for Ossenkop
to get a fair and Impartial trial. This
motion is supported by thirteen nffi
davits headed by Mr. Gering's which
in addition to reciting the statements
of the motion attache and makes a
of his affidavit, articles clipped from
the World-Herald and the Lincoln
Star detailing at length the several
affrays which have taken place in
the county since last September. An
additional affidavit which is depend
ed upon to have weight with the
court is that of A. L. Tidd who
states that during his candidacy for
county attorney last fall he visited
many people and talked with them
that he considers that such bias and
prejudice exists as would prevent the
defendant having a fair trial.
The additional affidavits all prac
tically are merely recitative of the sev
eral grounds sot up in the motion
and are filed by Messrs. H. E. Tan
konln, John Ossenkop, C. M. Soy
bert. E. S. Puntsch all of Louisville
A. N. Sullivan and Henry Ilerold of
this city and Doran of Lancaster
County. This motion is set down
for argument tomorrow morning be
fore Judge Travis.
As soon as notice of the filing of
the motion for a change cf venue
was served upon County Attorney
Ramsey, he made preparations to
make a showing by counter-affidavits
and for that purpose he is now out in
the country having gone out yester
day morning. These affidavits of
course, will recite that in the judg
ment of those making them there is
no such prejudice and bias as would
prevent the accused getting a fair
trial in this county.' The case Is set
down for trial on Wednesm. utr
and unless either of the motions
mentioned are sustained it will un
doubtedly be for trial at that time.

Dr. Holyoke is quite well known
in this city, having been located at
Pacific Junction for several years.
He had a great deal of practice which
brought him in contact with the lo
cal physicians and others all of
whom are surprised and sorry to
hear of his unexpected demise. While
It was known that he had been ser

his end would come so sudden and
general regret is felt over his untime

YESTERDAY
Number of Employes of Burlington
Violate Company Rule
From Monday's Dally.
This morning some thirty-five men
employed on the car repair gang
at the shops received an unpleasant
surprise when they went to work in
the shape of a request from the shop
authorities to return home and enjoy
another day of rest. It appears from
statements secured that the' Com
pany now has a rule by which any
employe who remains away from his
business without the consent of his
foreman shall be sent to the general
foreman immediately upon his re
turn to work. On last Friday, owing
to the high wind and the cold a num
ber of the men employed on tho re
pair tracks In the car department
were excused and allowed to return
home for the day, the management
not desiring to keep them out In such
weather.. On Saturday a large num
ber of these men failed to show up
for work evldontly considering that
their excuse applied to the rest of
the week.
It was these men who were laid off
this morning. When they came down
their attention was called to the com
pany rule and they were ordered to
report to the general foreman who
after hearing the explanation of some
of them concluded to enforce the rule
and with this purpose In view, tho
men were told to go home and re
turn tomorrow. The ruling has oc
casioned some ill-feeling among the
men but It really Is defended by the
company upon the ground that dis
cipline makes It necessary to require
a reasonable explanation for absence
otherwise the company will find It
self short of men at the most Inop
portuno times.

From Wednesday's Pally.
In district court this morning
Judge Travis passed sentence upon
the four men convicted of stealing
clothing belonging to William Ilalrd
superintendent of shops in this city,
by a Jury atthecomemncement of this
session of court. Each man re
ceived a sentence of thirty days in
jail. The four men are named Wil
liam Ryan, Thos. Owens, Win.
Murphy and Michael Gleason. They
took their medicine philosophically
and did not seem to be at all down
cast by the sentence, In fact seem
ing to feel relieved that it was no
worse. They were found guilty of
stealing clothing from a car spot
tod at the lhirllngton freight depot
In this city. Tho facts as developed
Indicated that men unloading the car
had opened one side of it the day be
fore the burglary and taken a quan
tity of goods from it, locking that
side with a padlock. That night the
other side was opened and the goods
taken out. A portion of the clothing
was found in a Greek extra gang's
cars stationed in the yards and the
Greeks claimed they had bought It of
some tramps. Later Officer Ralney
captured the four men in question
at the point of a revolver and lodged
them In jail.
Sells Studio.
Announcement Is made today of
the sale of the Soper Studios in this
city to Miss Greenwald of Falls City,
Neb. This newB will be heard with
genuine regret by the people here
as It means the loss to the city of
two excellent people. During the
time they have been residents of
this city Mr. and Mrs. Soper have
made themselves a host of friends
and are Justly esteemed and liked.
They had built up a splendid busl
is too true that a very large percent
age of the commercial failures can
be directly traced to a lack of sta
bility or an absence of such persis
tency as make obstacles of no mo
ment. A young man once wrote to the
editor of an advertising journal and
Inquired If this editor knew of any
plan or scheme by which he would
advise one to embark which would
prove profitable from the very start
and also In which the results from
the Initial copy would more than
recompense for the placing of the
copy. I think the editor replied that
if he did he would go at it himself.
This every idea or opinion that ad
vertising Is something magical, where
by the very first attempt results In a
steady Inflow of cash, has resulted in
many disappointments. There Is
probably more money squandered in
small sums from $5 up to $50 and
$100 than their is in large amounts,
for invariably these small, unpre
pared, unequipped advents into the
advertising arena are but of short
duration. For a man to believe that
he can become a success when the
cost of advertising becomes of pri
mary Importance on a basis of $25
or $50 or $100 Is the veriest idiocy,
yet the failures of hundreds has caus
ed no lessening of these attempts.
Persistency is a very great essen
tial In any commercial under
lng, but in an enterprise where ad
vertising and Its necessary outflow of
cash are concerned It becomes an
absolute, ironclad necessity. It
needs no repetition hero on my part
pointing to the successes in the
eleventh hour. That this has hap
pened again and again Is sufflcently
well known to need no recalling b
me, but I do wish to bring to your
attention the fact that but for r
sublime confidence in their propo
sition and a porsoveroneo unalterable
many of the greatest advertising suc
cesses of today would bo pointed out
as a sort of bete nclre.
Persistency, however, must be cou
pled with good Judgment cr it total
ly fails of the purpose for which It
was Intended. Though a campaign
of advertising may be launched and
well under way, should there come
to light certain things which would
go to prove that the fundamental
principle of the proposition was
wrong It would be then suicidal to n
commercial success to continue with
out eliminating these things, which
will cripple and undermine the whole
campaign.. A clear, cool, farseelng
judgment must be coupled with
advertising or all the persistency in
the world amounts to very little.
It is not so Important, however,
that I bring to your attention this
characteristic of sound judgment as
that I clearly show you how almost
Invaluable to any success is a prop
er amount of persistency. When the
bank accounts show signs of deple
