A St. Louis paper gjhres an- acoount
of a most singular freak of nature. It
Is that of a boy six years old whose
head, and legs from. the-knees down,
inoluding the feet, are exactly like
those of a rooster. The head haebill,
oomb, wattles, and.foathers which ex
tend to the shoulders. The other parts
of his body are human in shape, but
his hands ate abnormally large. This
ourlous thing came from VIcksburg
to St. Louis accompanied by its fath
er and mother.
The Cincinnati limes pays the fol
lowing deeerwed oorapliraent to Con
gressman Valentine: "Nebraska has
sent, in the person of its new-, repre
sentative, one of the finest specimens
of western manhood, and if it were
the mode of beauty in mankind to be
extolled as it is In women, this Judge
Valentine would be as famous as Mrs.
Dorsey or Mrs. Willis. With the
height, the- shoulders, the physique
of an Olympic, he has the spirit and
life of a new laud, the breezy fresh
ness of great plaioB, and the intellcot
and judgmentfittlng to the rest."
The taking of testimony in the Ol
ive murder trial at Hastings termina
ted on the 14th. The testimony for
the defense consisted in Inquiry into
Olive's character, which many wit
nesses swore had been good, and the
impeachment of Dufrand's testimo
ny, by proving that he had on several
occasions declared- that be- did not
know or recognize any of the men
who lynched Mitchell and Ketchum.
No attempt was made to impeach the
testimony of Brown ; but a motion
was mad to set his testimony aside
on the ground that he was under in
dictment for the same offense. Motion
overruled.
The sole reason why the Democrats
In. Congress are so determined to re
peal Congressional laws made for the
protection of the ballot box, Is to give
that party in the South, and in the
large cities, unobstructed opportuni
ties to practice frauds and carry elec
tions to suit them. All their talk
about soldiers presiding at the polls,
or preventing a free and fair vote, are
hypocritical Iie6, and they well know
it. And they do not believe that
soldiers ever prevented- any one from
voting who had a right- to. vote. No
intelligent man in or out of Congress
believes such a thing. The Democrat
ic party is well aware that unless they
are permitted to practice frauds and
manipulate ballot boxes. Congress
will soon pass oat ottheircontrol and
.that a Republican will surely be elect
ed President in 18S0. They know ttia
impossible by fair means for the De
mocracy to remain in power, -hence
the desperate effort to clear,, the way
for free and unbounded frauds.
a
The Legislature sat down on the
bill providing for the publication of
the commissjioners' proceedings in
two papers in each county. This was
one of the wisest and most juBt bills
introduced in the Legislature. It was
just to the people. It was intended
to give the people a full knowledge of
theaffairs of the county, and to make
the oounty officials furnish them un
der oath of office. But the wise legis
lators saw fit to kill the bill, and
now it is a duty thnt every newspa
per owes to the people to remember,
for future use every man that voted
against it. Beatrice Courier.
We recently had a conversation
with Senator Church Howe regarding
the ourlous law which provides only
IOr pUDIlSUJUg CUUUb LUUJUJ1B3IUUCo
proceeding in the German language.
Mr. Howe explained the matter in
this way: A law for making such
publication in newspapers printed in
English w.as Incorporated In the re
vised laws, which revision, it was pre
I.II.LJ .. ..:nnSnrino
sumed would be reached by the legis
lature and adopted. But as the revis
ion did not provide for any such.pub
lication in German a bill was passed
for thafr special purpose. Hence.-the
revised laws being not reached during
the session, left the matter iu the
shape it Is. Assuming Mr. Howe's
statement, of the case, to be correct,
whioh looks reasonable enough, we
embrace this opportune nionieii.t to
retract anything we may have here
tofore said reflecting on the good In
tent of our honorable legislators; for
we would do no man or body of men
an injustice, and would in all things
accord honor where honor i$ due.
On the 12th lawyer Laird, who is
principal counsel for Olive, used some
contemptuous language toward the
court the words used are reported as,
"We supposed we bad some rights,
but it seems no one has rights except
the prosecution, in this court."
Whereupon Judge Gaslin promptly
fined Mr. Lairds $25 and disbarred
him until the fine was paid. Laird
then roes and made a short sharp
speech, for the ears of the audience,
protesting against being "etricken
down while defending men for their
lives." This gained the pjjlause
Laird sought from the spectators, and
picking up his hat mojectially walked
out of the court room. Next day be
walked in again,, paid his fine and
resumed his duties.

Olive Jlnrder
Hastings, Neb., April 10, 1879.
Written for the Advertiser.
Believing a few items from this
present "Hub" of Western Nebraska
would Interest the readers of The Ad
vertiser, I take the risk of putting
you a little out by dropping a line.
I presume it is no news to you or
your readers that Hastings and Ad--ams
Couuty are more In the public
eye at this time, according to their
magnitude, than any other portion of
America.
First. Because Hastings is doubt
less the best one of the new towns
along the B. & M. R. R. in Ne
braska, weBt of Lincoln, whose Bud
den and magical rise and progress ex
cites the wonder and admiration of
strangers.
Seven years ago, where is now this
city of three thousand people, earnest
and eager in the rush and bustle of
business, with ohurches, sohools and
dwellings, and all the accompani
ments of ohristlan civilization, the
wild savage hunted the no less wild
but far more gentle buffalo.
As to the geographical anctcommer
cial advantages of this place, I may
have something to say at some future
time ; but the great matter of the day
here is the Olive trial. The case has
been carried through all the steps of
motion, demurrer, plea, &c., accom
panied by interminable and innumer
able affidavits for removal, contin
uance., &c, &o., till It was finally
brought to issue for trial last Monday
morning. The defendants demand
ed separate trials for all exoept Olive
and Fisher. These two last the pros
ecutor chose to-put ou trial-first. Then
came the struggle for a jury. The de
fendants by counsel straining point
and quibble by questions pertinent
and Impertinent, and by objections
and exceptions, serioiiBand often as It
seemed to a disinterested observer,
funny and frivolous, trying the pa
tience of and not always respectful
to the court and council on the other
side. Judge Gaslin in his desire to
make a fair record for the aooused-,
doubtless was at first-inclined to allow
great latitude to council for the de
fence, of which they did not fail to
take advantage. A jury was, howev
er, after a strife and badgering of three
days, seoured, and the case presented
this (Thursday) morning. Attorney
General Dilworth, in presenting the
case to the jury, substantially stated
that the following facts would be
made out by the evidence: That I.
P. Olive, In the year 1878, was living
with his family at Plum Creek, in
Dawson County, but had a large herd
of .cattle on the range about flfty'milea
north of Plum Creek in CusterCoun
ty, where he alBO had a ranch as. a
headquarters for his stock and herds
men ; that Frederick Fisher, the oth
er defendant, was In Olive's employ ;
that on the 10th day of December last,
about 2 o'clock p. m., Olive arrived'at
Plum Creek from Kearney, on the U.
P. train ; also one Barney GUIan and
one Phillip Dufrand arrived and got
off the same train, the latter two hav
ing in charge the murdered men,
Ketchum and Mitchell, Gillan as
sheriff" of Dawson county. Fisher
met Olive, while he, Olive, was on
the way from the depot to his house,
and went baok with him. He, Fish
er, was soon after seen to start out on
aoertain peculiarcolored horse, in full
speed northward, toward Olive's cat
tle ranch, and was also seen on that
road some eight or ten miles from
Plum Creek. Gillan and Dufrand
with their prisoners, Ketchum and
Mitchell, soon after started in a bug
gy or wagon of some kind-, in the
same direction. They were ostensibly
going to take the prisoners to the
county court of Custer county for a
preliminary examination for killing
the brother of the defendant, Olive,
known bb Stevens. They were fol
lowed by Mr. McNamar, in his bug
gy, who waB going on to defend the
prisoners, aa their attorney. McNa
mar kept up with them till they had
traveled about twenty milsB, when
the persons having the prisoners In
oharge, taking advantage of theehade
of the evening and the hilly road,
eluded him and got out of eight. Soon
afterthe wagon waBOutof sight, three
horsemen passed MoNamar cautious
ly and as though they did not wish to
be recognized, and started off at such
a rate of speed that McNamar could
not keep them in eight. One of these
men MoNamar recognized aa I. P. Ol
ive. It would also appear that the
other defendants indicted were at Ol
ive's cattle ranch at that time ; that
they, with Fisher, met Gillan and Du
frand with Olive, Green and Bald
win, about two miles from the ranoh,
and oommited the murder, and left
the bodies of Ketchum and Mitohell
as they were found. It is known that
the'horse FiBher rode out of Plum
Creek that night waB found next
morning at Olive's ranoh, as was also
the horse of Dufrand, which was
known the day before to have been in
Olive's Btable at Plum Creek. It is
also known that a certain roan horse
was at Olive's ranoh on the 10th, and
was found next morniug at Olive's
stable in Plum Creek. Green and
Baldwin were seen to leave Plum
Creek on the afternoon of the 10th,
one or them With Dufrnnri'a hnroo
after the other parties had left. Olive
was also known to be at hiB ranch
early the next morning.
The testimony to-day haB substan
tiated these statements. Olive was
identified by Dufrand as one of the
party who took Ketchum and Mitoh
ell from Dufrand and Gillan, near the
Loup Fork, where the hanging and
burning was done. H.
The following synopsis of pertinent
testimony, as reported for the Omaha
Daily Republican, we give in addi
tion to what our correspondent gives,
developed after his communication
was written.
On the 10th Phil. Dufrand testified
that he and Gillen had the prisoners,
Mitchel and Ketchum, in oustody as
officeraof the law ; thafcOlivo, Pedro
the Mexican, Gartrel I, and others took
tbeprisonetB from ulmsalf and Gillen, I
Hastings,
and took them away. In addition to
the three above named, Dufrand rec
ognized Brown.
On the morning of the 11th a sen
sation was caused by Bion Brown,
who was indicted with the Olive
gaug, being placed on the witness
stand, he having determined to turn
State's evidence, and make a clean
breast of it. Brown stated, says the
Republican reporter, that Pedro, Gar
trell and Kelly, the blaok cook, and
himself were at Olive's ranch on the
10th of December; that Fisher came
up on horseback and told the boys
that Olive wanted to meet them at
Wood river. Pedro, Gartrell, Fisher
and witness then rode to Wood river
bb they were bid. "Upon arriving
there they heard a man whistling and
halloaing for them to come on. They
found the man to be Olive. They
then went ail together to Devil's Gap
where they met the wagon with the
prisoners, Mitchell and Ketchum,
with whom they saw Dufrand and
Gillen. Olive demanded the prison
era from Gillen, who said that he hat
ed to give them up, but finally yield
ed. Gartrell then jumped into the
wagon and seized the reins, Dufrand
and Gillen having got out and gone
baok some three or four hundred yards.
Olive first rode to an elm tree near by
but after examining it said it would
notauswer, as it was too large. Hav
ing found a smaller one, whioh suited
bis purpose, he ordered the wagon
containing Mitchell and Ketchum to
be driven under it. When this was
done Gartrell put a rope around Ketch
um's neok and Mexicau Pedro served
Mitohell iu like manner. The ropes
were then tied to the limb of the tree,
and the prisoners were handcuffed.
Olive stood by the wagon. Mitchell
was on the bottom of the floor of the
wagon-box, and Ketchum slightly
leaning over the side. Olive grabbed
up a Winchester rifle and shot Mitch
ell in the right side. The wounded
man fell over back on the wheel.
Gartrell and Olive then got into the
wagon together. Gartrell took up the
lines, whipped the horses and left the
prisoners hanging to the tree.
The clothing of the wounded man
took fire from the gun, and as the
wituess walked around to the tree Ol
ive ordered him to put out the fire.
Witness was positive in affirming that
no fire was kindled but that from the
gun. He tried to put out the fire, and
thought he had done so, after which
he went to the wagon and tookadrink.
Green and Baldwin then exohanged
horses with himself and the Mexican,
and they with Fisher started baok to
Plum Creek.
The witness testified positively tbat
he saw Olive pay money to Sheriff
Gillen tbat Olive, Fisher, Green,
Baldwin, Gartrell, himself aud the
Mexican were present when the men
were huug. Olive, Fisher, Gartrell and
himself went to the wagon of Sheriff
Gillen and demanded the prisoners.
Baldwin sat on his horse near at hand,
and Green came shortly after the pris
oners were delivered into the hands
of their murderers.
The witness (Brown) Is a boy twenty-one
years of age, a native of Ohio,
intelligent and good-looking, with
frank, open face, and bas been in the
employ of Olive ten months. He says
privately that Olive compelled bim
at the point of a rifle to assist in lynoh
ing Mitohell and Ketchum.
In the oross examination Brown
said when the shooting was done he
stood on the left of the wagon, with
Olive at the right hand wheel and
Mitchell at the right side between tbe
first seat and the dash board. Olive
stood near enough to Mitchell to
touch him with a carbine.
Olive Bald something about oattle
and put the muzzle of the oarblne to
Mitchell's breastand fired. Neitherof
tbe prisoners said anything. There
was no struggle between the prisoners
and their murderers, exoept that when
Mitohell was shot he fell back ou the
wheel of the wagon. Pedro then put
a rope around the wounded man's
neok and they dove off, leaving them
to hang.
Olive, Green, and Baldwin aoted aa
if in liquor. Witness and compan
ions were perfectly sober. Olive told
witness to put out the fire occasioned
by the8hot ; he took the butt of a gun
and thought he had rubbed the fire
out. Heard Gartrell and Olive talk
ing about lynching the prisoners be
fore they got to the wagon. Olive
told Gartrell he thought the prisoners
would not resist. Did not know how
long it took to kill the men; he
thinks one was not dead when they
left. He did not realize what was to
be done till he met Olive.

The proseoution, of the Olive trial,
closed their testimony, on the part of
the State, at noon to-day. The last
witness being one of the defendants
In the indictment, but not now on
trial, viz: Bion Brown. His testimo
ny makes a complete case for the people-being
an eye witness, and par
ticipator, he detailed the arrival of
Fisher, the man on trial with Olive
at Olive's ranch, early in the evening
of the 10th of December, with the
message to tne other hands at the
ranoh that Olive wanted them to meet
him at or near the place where-Ketchum
and Mitohell were executed. That
himself, (Brown,) Fisher, Dominicus,
and Gartrell, mounted and rode away
to the place designated met Olive,
Green and Baldwin. Tbey then pro
ceeded Southward till they met Gil
len and Dufrand with Ketohum and
Mitchell. That Olive demanded the
prisoners, who were given up without
parley. One of the men, Gartrell,
dismounted, took charge of the bug
gy iu which the prisoners were, turn
ed out of the road into a ratine, fol
lowing Olive and the rest about two
or three hundred yards, under a tree
where a rope was put about the neck
of eaoh of the prisoners and thrown
over a limb and fastened. Olive then
shot Mitchell with a Winchester oar
bine, placing the- muzzle of the gun
to his aide saying, "I'll show you how
you killed my brother." The men
were still handcuffed together.
Mitchell sitting in tbe front part of
tho wagon, with hia baok towards the
right wheel. The wagon waa then
driven away and left them hanging.
It was then noticed that Mitchell's
clothing had caught fire from the gun.
Witness by direction of Olive attempt
ed to put it out with tbe butt of his
gun, aud supposed he had done so,
but thinks he did not. They then
immediately left for the ranch ex
cepting Green and Baldwin who
changed horses and returned to Plum
Creek. As they returned to the ranch
they overtook Gillen and Dufrand,
and wituess saw Olive pass money to
Gillen. This corroborated so strong
ly by circumstances and otherwise
it cannot be shaken. -Yours, H.
The migrating blacks, who are re
ported to be short of cash iu St. Louis,
should make a loud demand ou their
Republican "friends" for 'the im
mense sum stolen from them by the
aforesaid "friends," through the cun
ning agency of the Freedmen's Bank.
If tne Republicans really want to
help the "poor black man" pecuniari
ly they might have the decency to re
store that stolen money. Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Yes it is a good point; the Freed
man's Bank Republicans should con
tribute liberally. And we do not
know that it would be amiss for the
C.-J. and its constituents, who for
generations have lived offof the labor
of those people who have speculat
ed in their flesh and blood, and grown
rich by it, to now contribute some
thing to settle them where tbey can
live in peace. It Is mean to rob a
man of a few dollars of his hard-earned
wages, but the man who has all
his life been engaged in the business
should hesitate about calling atten
tion to the subject. Inter Ocean.
Pension Money.
Washington, April 9. The Com
missioner of Pensions bas made his
flrat requisition upon the Treasury for
money appropriated to pay arrears of
pensions, and has had $2,000,000 of
tbe amount appropriated for the cur
rent fiscal year placed to his credit.
He will commence this week to fill
out blank checks, and they will be
sent to pensioners in the order in
which their applications were filed.
Only $3,500,000 can be paid out before
the 1st of July, which will cover all
accounts that the present olerioal
force have time to examine.
Senator Jone3, of Nevada, still be
lieves tbat the Republicans will re
nominate General Graut, and tbat he
will be re-elected. Summarizing the
oreed of the Democrat, he says it baa
no purpose except to resist the civil
ization of the period. That is to say,
the Democratic party is the atubborn
bull on the track in front of the looo
motive, and it must get out of the
way or be thrown in the ditch.
Father Walsh, of St. Louis, says he
relie on the Democratic party of Mo.,
to sustain tbe Catholic church in
tbat State in its struggles with pro
testantism. Encouragement for the colored emi
grants comes from various quarters.
Senator Chandler will find employ
ment for 100 in Michigan, and Colon
el Boblugersoll offers $1,000 to" a fund
for their relief.
A ofrcular, dated Lincoln, Neb.,
April 107 and signed by the Universi
