The Judge "Talks Out In Meet

Lax Over Case.
Judge Travis gave the county
attorney and sheriff of Sarpy
county a severe lecturing yester.
day, of which the Omaha Ilee of
this morning speaks as follows:
"Charging that neither County
Attorney William Jamison or
Sheriff Grant Chase of Sarpy were
upholding1 him in the matter of
prosecuting the two officers now
charged with the killing of Hoy
Ulunt, District Judge H. I). Travis,
at Papillion yesterday, indicated
that such conduct on the part of
the ollicers was the greatest rea

venue which is being sought by
the accused.

Well Known Grocer of Weeping
Water Charged With Violating
Oleomargarine Law.
Hans Johnson, who, for fifteen
years has been in the grocery
business in Weeping Water, has,
according to the Washington, D.
C, correspondent of the World
Herald, violated the United States
statute relative to the sale of
oleomargarine, though Johnson
claims to have been innocent of
any wrong doing, and anyone ac
quainted with Hans knows him
to be on the square. Here is what
the correspondent says, under
date of May S):
"Pending explanation from
Hans Johnson, a grocer of Weep
ing Water, the treasury depart
ment will hold up its action
against him for the collection of a
fine of $225 for the sale of a but
ter substitute without a license,
according to information received
by Senator Hitchcock today.
"Ankerson, a Weeping Water
baker, bought a butter substitute
from the Cudahy Packing com
pany, having the shipment in
cluded with other goods sent to
Johnson. When the shipment
arrived the article was sent to
Ankerson, who paid Johnson, who,
in turn, settled the whole bill,
making no profit, however, on the
accommodation to Ankerson. This
was repeated several times until
federal revenue collectors called
on the astonished Johnson toshow
his license to sell oleomargarine

motion for a change of venue is
set for May 15. The court in
stem words told the two officials
that he wanted advice founded on
Ihe law ami would not tolerate Ihe
introduction of political enmity
into his court room.
"At Papillion this morning it is
understood the defense will file
over 150 affidavits attesting the

is said that neither the present

The annual Junior-Senior class
reception of High school students
was given by the Juniors at
Coales' hall last evening, and not
withstanding the inclement
weather a very enjoyable evening
was the result of the efforts of the
committees on arrangements,
working in conjunction with Miss
Cora Anderson, class sponsor.
A formal program was given,
which was commenced rather late,
owing to the weather preventing
the assembling of the guests un
til rather late. The hall was never
more beautifully decorated, with
creep paper in the class colors,
the reception room being hung
with cherry and black intermingl.
d with red tulips; the dining
room in tne senior class colors,
royal purple and gold, with lilacs
interspersed. Pennants of '12
and '13 were much in evidence and
were suspended at numerous
points in the reception and dining
rooms.
The address of welcome was
delivered by (lien Edwards, presi-
ent of the junior class, and the
response by iMiss iioiuie .-ouie,
president of the senior class. Fol
lowing the address Mrs. Everet
Eaton sang a beautiful solo, which
was followed by a charming read
ing by Mrs. A. J. Beeson. Super
intendent N. C. Abbott made a few
remarks, which were very ap
propriate, in which he referred to
the admirable class spirit and
friendly regard more than or
dinarily manifested between the
junior and senior classes of the
High school. He was pleased to
note this high regard each class
as a whole seemed to have for the
oilier class as a whole, and this
same emotion he was glad to
notice existed between individuals
of the two classes; for instance,
a senior boy cherished the highest
admiration for the junior boy-
Mr. Abbott also expressed the
hope that the graduates, In I heir
future careers, would not forget
when convenient pay those left
behind a visit, as well as give
them an encouraging word as they
passed by.
Mr. Abbott's address was fol
lowed by a reading by Miss
Manola Perry, followed hy a vocal
solo by Don York. E. II. Wescott
rendered a beautiful piano solo
which brought the program to a
close. The tri-color scheme of
the hall decoration was carried
out in the refreshments, the ice
cream was purple and gold, with
the icy lady fingers and cake were
served. Various games, including
progressive authors, furnished
the amusement for the juniors
and their guests.

The case of Mack & Co. against
William and Paul F. Budig for the
sum of $202.50 was tried in the
court this morning. The claim is
for stock sold to the firm at a lime
when Paul F. Budig had full con
trol and ownership. The evi
dence tended to show that William
was not an owner at the time the
bill was purchased, consequently,
on a motion for this purpose, the
case was dismissed as to him.
The court then rendered judgment
