company to his farm near Greenwood.
It was claimed by the plaintiff that
the distance from Omaha to Green
wood was forty-four miles and that
the running time was four hours for
the railroad trains and that the ship
ment of hogs was delayed on the road
twenty-four hours and as the result
lifty-three head of the hogs had died.
The defendant railroad company
was represented in the action by At
torney W. A. Robertson of this city
and W. J. Weingarten of Omaha.
This morning the case of William
S. Doughty vs. Parr Young Vas call
ed for trial and the following mem
bers of the jury were secured in the

near Nehawka. and as the result of a
dispute between the parties.
The case is attracting a great deal
of attention and a large number of
the residents of the neighborhood
where both parties reside are present
to testify and hear the issues in the
case.
NEW REQUIREMENTS
FOR AN A. B. DEGREE
Changes Adopted on Saturday Affect
Modern Language Department
and Law Courses.
Three new curriculum require
ments, designed to raise the standard
of the work required of students
seeking a degree in the college of
arts and sciences of the University
of Nebraska, were adopted by the
faculty of the college at a meeting
in the Social Science building Satur
day morning. The changes affecf.
the modern language department and
law students working for 'a combined
degree in law and arts and sciences.
The change in modern language
requirements was presented by the
modern language department. In thi?
recommendation the course, of study
committee recognizes work done in
modern languages in the high schools
but stiffens the requirements lan
guage group requirements in the uni
versity. Students will hereafter be
required to present sixteen college
hours work in modern languages to
complete the group requirement, in
stead of ten hours only required here
tofore. The following resolution
was passed by the faculty of the arts
college on this requirement:
"Moved that the equivalent of six
teen college hours be required for thf
completion of the modern language
group requirements. If a student
presents one year of high school work
in language, then ten college hours
will be required in the same lan
guage; if he presents two or more
years of high school work, then six
college hours of work in the same
language would satisfy the require
ments." Affecting the combined course of
law and arts and science, the faculty
of the arts college passed a rule re
quiring any law student seeking a
degree in the arts and science from
the University of Nebraska must
take at least thirty hours work in
that college here. This means that
students from other or smaller col
leges will not be able to obtain the
degree of bachelor of arts or bache
lor of sciences from the University of
Nebraska on the strength of their
work In law alone, combined with
courses taken as other arts colleges.
They will be required to take at least
thirty hours of work in the arts col
lege of the University of Nebraska
in order to receive the combined de
gree in competition with their work
in the law college.
A second recommendation of the
course of studommittee adopted, at
the meeting, provides that fourth
year students (who have completed
at least thirty hours in the college of
arts and sciences) may elect courses
in the departments of jurisprudence
and, public law which count toward
the degree of bachelor of law, and
not to exceed thirty-two hours of
college law work These subjects
count toward the degrees of bachelor
af arts and bachelor of sciences. The
effect of these two decisions is to
open up the courses of "the college
of arts and sciences to law students
interested in phases of liberal educa
tion, particularly requiring some
work in the Nebraska arts college In
order to obtain a degree in the Uni
versity of Nebraska. The second
recommendation opens to students of
the arts and sciences interested in
public affairs, courses in the college
i of law such as constitutional inter-
I pretation, history of the common law
and history of jurisprudence. The
latter -subjects are taught by Judge
Hastings of the college of law.
A student may register in the six
year combined law and academic
course in his senior year (provided
he has completed in residence at
least thirty hours of work in the col
lege of arts and sciences of work elect
not more than thirty-two hours in
the college of law.
WEDDING THAT WAS
FOLLOWED BY DEATH
Mrs. Mike Tierney to Go on Trial in
Omaha Today for Shooting
Her Son-in-Law.
Prom Monday's Daily.
The wedding in this city on Sep
tember 21st of Miss Ethel Tierney
and Ray Dunlap, has been followed
by a chain of tragedies and misfor
tunes to the members of the families
of the parties interested and today
in the court of Judge Troup, in Om
aha, Mrs. Mike Tierney. mother of
the bride, goes on trial for her life
for having shot to death Ray Dun
lap, the husband of her daughter.
Prior to the wedding there had
been bad feeling between the older
members of the Tierney and Dunlap
families and despite this feeling of
hostility the two young people had
met and grown greatly attached to
each other and on the Sunday pre
ceding the wedding, the girl had
left the home of her mother and
gone to that of some friends and the
young people had come to Platts
mouth on the 21st of September and
were married.
On Friday, September 24th young
Dunlap had called at the Tierney
home without his wife and after
ome conversation between Mrs.
Tierney and Dunlap, the woman shot
him through the head and he was
taken to the hospital, where he died
l short time afterwards.
Several motives are advanced for
the crime by the defense and the
state. One is that the mother did not
know of the marriage and shot .to
ivenge what she thought was the
tealing of her daughter's honor,
while other motives advanced are
'hat Mrs. Tierney was in love with
Dunlap and shot him for revenge.
Still another is that Dunlap had
threatened to reveal the operations
f a gang of box car robberies in
which the two sons of the woman
.vere involved. Since the shooting
two of the Tierney boys have been
arrested charged with the robberies.
The state is asking the death pen
alty. If the jury finds the woman
ruilty and the death sentence is ira
oosed it will be the first case of its
kind in Douglas county.
