Hearing Likely TonightOssen
kop Trial to Be Resumed
NEW CHIEF
OF POLICE
The preliminary examination of
.John Clarence charged with the mur
der of John P. Thacker la expected to
take place this evening. An arrange
ment was entered into this morning
between County Attorney Ramsey,
representing the state and Attorney
Byron Clark for the defendant by
Svhich the defendant will be arraign
ed before Justice Archer some time
during the evening and permitted to
plead. A motion will be made by
his counsel supported by affidavits,
that he be allowed to go at large
pending trial under bonds which he
will offer to furnish. As the matter
of admitting a prisoner charged with
murder in the first degree to ball Is
largely a discretionary one with the
court, this may be done and the de
fendant permitted to have his lib
erty until the next term of court
which will be on May 17th. Should
the court sustain the motion to admit
to ball, it is improbable that the de
fendant will ask for a preliminary
examination but will waive such a
hearing. This would be quite a sav
ing In the expense to the state if It
should be done.
Should the court hold that It Is
not competent to furnish bail when
the charge of first degree murder Is
made, then the defendant will In all
probability ask for a hearing. Should
this be done, the arraignment tonight
would be merely for the purpose of
pleading and a date would be ar
ranged for the hearing.
It is the desire of County Attorney
Ramsew that any preliminary exam
ination to be had, be had this week
as next week the trial of Fred Ossen
kop again takes the stand and will
likely last far enough Into the week
to keep the lawyers going practically
the entire week. On the other hand,
a contested preliminary examination
would take some little time even
though the state sought merely to
prove the fact of the killing and the
probable reason to believe the defend
ant committed the deed. Owing to
the near approach of the end of the
week It is doubtful If witnesses could
could be obtained in time for a hear
ing Saturday as the sheriff would
have to subpoena them and, In the
present .condition of the roads this
would be a slow and tedious task.
Attorney Clark expects to have
bondsmen here on the evening M. P.
train from Union and, should his
contention for bail be sustained, they
will Immediately justify and Clarence
could return to hla home. It Is not
known Just who the sureties will be
nor as to what amount of bond the
defendant will offer or can produce
although It is expected it will be
likely $10,000 or $15,000.
The trial of the Ossenkop case, It
Is thought, will . be resumed next
Tuesday morning, March 2. It is
the general belief of those connected
with the case that the witnesses on
whose account the trial was post
poned will be In such shape that they
can attend on that date. These wit
nesses It will be recalled are Will
and Ed. Ossenkop and their wives
The parties afflicted with the small
pox are children in these families
and the general understanding is that
this disease has now been stamped
out so far that the witnesses can
attend and the trial continue.
The jurymen In the case are all
expected to report by 9 o'clock Tues
day morning and the witnesses for
the defendant will also be on hand
at that time and the taking of test!
mony for that side will Immediately
commence. It Is believed that the
defense will conclude their side of
the case not later than Wednesday
night and possibly by noon of that
day and that the prosecution will
present the rebuttal In not more than
a day. It Is expected that argument
of counsel should take place not later
than Thursday evening and the case
go to the Jury by Friday morning at
the outside. A large attendance of
witnesses is expected from Eagle, Wal

NEIGHBOR'S
QUARREL
Lincoln Parties Appeal to Law to
Settle Controversy
Edwin Jeary and Frank E. Lahr,
both prominent business men, have
appeal to the district court to settle
a neighbor's quarrel between them
over a city lot that lies between their
homes and of which both desire a
part. Jeary claims that they had
agreed to purchase the lot together,
each paying half the purchase price
and then each taking half the lot. He
fays that he found that the lot was
for sale and told Lahr about it and
the latter then "got in ahead of him"
on the purchase of the property and
refuses to divide, although Jeary Is
willing to pay half the purchase
price of $4,100.
Jeary is a banker and Lahr is a
hardware merchant. One lives at
1617 and the other at 1630 L street.
Both have fine homes there. In his
petition filed In district court, Jeary
says that for some time both have
felt crowded for lawn space, and as
the lot lying between their respective
homes la not highly improved, they
had several times dscussed tho prac
tlcablllty of buying the intervening
lot owned by a Denver woman and
when they first considered the ques
tion they found it was not for sale
early In the year of 1909, Jeary said
they made an oral agreement to each
endeavor to buy the lot and then
divide the expense and the ground.
In last October, Jeary says he was
informed by a local real estate dealer
that the lot was for sale. Ho told
Lahr about it, but delayed a few
weeks to take any action himself,
When he made further Inqurles he
found that Lahr had already bought
the lot. He demanded that pur
chaRer divide, In accord with their
agreement, but was refused. Now
he comes into court and offers to pay
$2,050 for the half Interent of the
lot and aska the court to decree that
Lahr convey half the property to him.

has secured a magnificent bargain.
The Gerings, it Is understood, con
template their removal from the city,
going to Omaha, where former Mayor
Henry R. Gerlng has so large busi

the city is hailed with regret by the
citizens generally, who recognize In
them the highest type of citizenship.
They are all excellent people and
their determination to leave the city
Is to be deplored. In the business
world of the city Mr. Gerlng's with
drawal has already had its ill effect,
and this will be augmented still fur
ther as time goes on. In the social
sense the retirement of the Misses
Gerlng cannot but leave a vacancy to
be regretted, as they are among the
city's most lavish entertainers, and
have been the main support of many
of the most elaborate social affairs
ever given here.

TROUBLE ON
O'NEILL LINE
Burlington Train Stuck in Snow Near
Nay Point, Nebraska
A call for the rotary snow plaw
came from the O'Neill line of the
Burlington yesterday afternoon and
the big machine will make a third
trip to that branch some time today.
It Is now in the Havelock hospital
being patched up after recent en
counters with the drifts. A train
that left O'Neill during the storm
yesterday was stuck in the drifts
about one mile from Hay Point, a
siding not far from Pago, In Holt
county. A relief train sent out
could get no closer than two miles
of the drift bound train. The train
carried ten male and two lady pas
sengers. Tho late evening report
from the crew was that the passen
gers had been well provided for and
that they had plenty of food and
fuel. The distance back to O'Neill
or a settlement was not great but the
danger of trying to relieve passen
gers In that way was thought to bo
too great because of tho fury of the
storm.
Another Burlington train was
stuck in the drifts yebterday after
noon near Burwell. It was not long
confined In the snow, however, get
ting through in the late afternoon.
Trains from the west were very
late In some Instances yesterday and
delayed to some extent In almost
every case. The Rock Island tied
up Its trains In Colorado Monday
night on account of the blizzard. The
Burlington reported ten or twelve
Inches of snow on the McCook and
Alliance divisions. Train delays of
some consequence were experienced
in the northwest during Monday
night, but freight was moving
through yesterday afternoon.
A great amount of snow was re
ported from all parts of the west, but
It was very damp when It fell and
the wind did not cause great drifts.
A heavy wind blew Monday night
and yesterday forenoon, but periods
of clear weather were reported dur
ing the afternoon from many places.
This Is the fourth blizzard In less
than four weeks that the railroads
have had to contend with, and while
more snow fell during this storm
than during any of the previous ones,
less trouble resulted, because of the
weight of tho snow being greater and
the velocity of the wind following be
ing less. The temperature reported
yesterday afternoon from O'Neill was
18 above zero.
Two Burlington trains stalled on
the Burlington division west of Hax
tun had been released by plows. In
northwest Nebraska, the storm pre
