Fugate thoroughly demonstrated
Mr. O'Leary is the champion welterweight
to the people here recently that he is one
of the fastest 1 J1 - 1-i - - - Nebr. weight of the entire northwest.
This match will decide the middleweight championship of this'state and will no doubt be the fastest bout evei
witnessed in this part of the county. Cattfh as catch can rules , two shoulders down.
The 27auc ck Case.
Court is in session this week
with Judge "Westov'er on the bench
and J. D. Scott reporter. Mon
day was occupied with the usual
preliminaries and. judicial cases.
Tuesday the case of the state vs
D. A. Hancock , charged -with
perjury , came up ff r trial and oc
cupied two days , the case gojng to
the jury Wednesday evening. The
Sparks neighborhood almost en-
raass was in attendance as witnes
ses for and against. We might
say that the town was full of
Sparks , Penbrook and Wood lake
people who were here as witness
es and jurors and the court room
was well filled during the trial.
Everybody seemed good-natured
and peaceable , while the lawyers
tugged away at the bone of con
tention and fought the legal battln
for the prosecution and the de
fendant. County Attorney John
Tucker and Harn- Brome ofj
Ooiaha represented 'he ' state , and.
fc total
ey , and M. F. Harrington of
O'Neill the defense. The court
! room was crowded Wednesday af-
J ternoon when the attorneys made
j their plnas to the jury , which was
| composed 'of good representative
' men of our cuunty. Careful at
tention was given during the trial
and the masterly elTorts of the at
torneys left no point of significance
without thorough discussion. It
was all made plain and easy for
the jury to make their decision
and the audience seemed to grasp
the situation that a man commits
no crime and noes riot perjure
himself when he tells what he be
lieves to be a fact and without in
tention to wrong or defraud , even
though he may have been mistak
en and that a man prosecuted or
persecuted because of'prejudice is
not in the interests .of upholding
the law or the sanctity or our
courts or of justice. The case
grew out of a ten dollar law suit
iii which the defendant was ac
cused of f alee swearing to an im-
material fact , as it appeared in
' this court. The persons who are
responsible for the prosecution
have caused an expense of nearly
§ 2,000 , most of which must be
borne by Cherry county taxpay
ers and the defendant who was ac
quitted and discharged by the
jury. It is thus seen what men
of prejudicial minds may do to
furnish entertainment for the people
ple while attempting to persecute
an enemy. It is not always those
who dance that must pay the fid
dler , for , in this case , all Cherry
county is taxed for these costs.
Need we wonder why Cherry
county gets in debt ? And wouldn't
it be well for the taxpayers to take
more interest in county affairs and
less interest in political parties ?
