Co. Atty. Ely , of Brown Co. ; C. E. Lear , of Spring- view , and M. F. Harrington , of O'Neill , will appear for the state. The defense has secured the ser vices of W. F. Gurley , of Omaha ; L. T. Genung , of Glen wood , la. ; F. G. Hamer , of Kearney and A. W. Scattergood , of Ainsworth. The case will be watched with con siderable interest as it involves the question of human liberty and whether or not a so-called railroad detective and spotter can by his own request assume the duties of deputy sheriff for the purpose of arresting an objectionable person and kill without allowing any wit ness to the transaction , under the guise of self defense. A strong ef fort is being made to acquit Hans of the crime charged. The U. S. weather bulletin for Nebr. , issued April 25th , shows the past week has been cold , the mean daily temperature averaging 4 ° below the normal. Frost oc curred on several days with the minimum temperature between 20 ° and 25 ° in western counties and between 30 ° and 35 ° in east ern counties. The rainfall was above the normal in nearly all parts of the state. It exceeded in central counties and decreased to about i inch in the counties along both the northern and southern borders of the state. The low temperature of the past week has been unfavorable for the growth of vegetation. Winter wheat con tinues in excellent condition. Oats were frozen to the ground in some western counties. Generally , how ever , oats and spring wheat arc up nicely and the damage from low temperature is slight. Grass has grown very slowly. Plowing for corn has progressed nicely but it has been too cold for planting. The frost injured plums and other early fruit somewhat. Notice- Non-Resident Defendants. Isaac M. Bice.
