D. WatkliiB , the young attorney ngnlnst whom charges were prof on od by Frank Nunnemakor , has rivalled the Houebud rush uf last mnnmur , for Interest. As ft result of thu trial , which occu pied iv week and which was attended every day by enormous ciowila of eager bpectators , David Watklns , the young attorney , him been bound over to the circuit court by Judge Howluo ; warrants luivo been sworn out against Mrs. Nunuemakor charging her with the sumo oltentio alleged against Watkins - kins , and also against her husband , Frn.uk Nunnomaker , for "shouting with intent to kill.

Faction Against Faction. All Bouestool Is divided Into two parts. Ono part Is strongly with the Immlsomo young attorney , a graduate of the state normal school of 1'eru and also of the law school of the Univer sity of Nebraska In the class of 1'JUl. So strong was the feeling between the two sides of the question that af ter the long and sensational trial had been brought to an end and the young man had been bound ever , there were ugly threats in the air and Judge llowlso considered it policy to become - como ft scarce commodity. It Is said that the feeling went so far as to pro duce iv rope noose in the court room , fastened from the celling and hanging down In a menacing manner. Thu saloons all night were tilled with angry men , who cursed the judge nnd the Nunnemakers und the de fendant , Story of the Trouble. U was on the morning of .March G that Frank Nnnnemaker , who Is a pol ished looking individual and wealthy , went to the homo of Mrs. Beck in Uonesteel , accompanied by two men at witnesses , and there found his wile nnd young Wntklns. This was Wat- kins' boarding house. Stories ns to just what happened at Unit moment vary. The testimony goes to show that Mrs , Nnnnemaker was in the parlor and that Watklns was In an other room ; and that Nunuemakor was angered. Wntkius claims that Nunnemaker offered to settle the affair right then lor $1,000 ; that when he saw the trouble that might ensue , if he of fered to fight , he sat down In a chul/ / ; that NunnemnKer then struck him violently lently In the face , making n black scar which still Is worn by the lawyer. After that , Wntkins says , Nunucmak- er drew n gun. Wntklns alleges that he grabbed the other's hands to pre vent a shooting nnd that , shortly af ter , realizing the undeslrablllty of the scandalous publicity which must ensue if ho remained In town , even though ho were Innocent , ho deter mined to leave the country and start ed , in a rig , for Nebraska. Husband Pursues , Shooting. Nunnemnker pursued , with the sher iff nnd ft warrant. After n race ol three miles , at the close of which Nun nemnker fired n bullet nfter Watkins the latter was overtaken nnd brought back to IJonesteel. Two days later the trial began nnd It 1ms just closed. Wntklns was bound over for the pre liminary In the sum of $1,000 , nnd for the circuit court In the sum of $500. His bond was immediately furnished by prominent business men In the town. ' The whole social strata of Done- steel was stirred by the story. Men nnd women from the best families In town , have Hocked to the trial to lis ten to the evidence Introduced In the case. U wns the tnlk of the streets , the homes , the churches. Woman Testifies Against Him. On the stand Mrs. Nunnemaker tes tified against Watkins. She testified to all of the circumstances which night tend to throw suspicion upon tlio young lawyer. In doing PO she of connto compromised her own honor. During tlio ( rlul she lived at thu homo if Slate Attorney Backim , wlio wns BO lorcely prosecuting \Vnlklns. Backus lid not Issue n warrant against the woman. Wlii'ti the trial was done , a warrant wax Issued agaliifll Mrs. Nunnemiikor in the same charge. If Watklns IH guilty , his frlciula argued , the woman wan equally BO. A warrant was nl o Hsucd against the husband for shooi ng with Intent to kill , the Incident wing that of the pursuit. Woman Then Takes Poison. When she had horn arrested on so serious a charge , roall/.lng that her own testimony , If It were trno , would nnvlct herself as well up WatkliiB , Mrs. Nunnomakor IB alleged to have aton a doBO of liluo ointment , wrapped up In ft paper. In four hours t began to take effect. When she had oomo to what she thought was her lying moment , she calloil hysterically for Wntklns. " 1 want to see VVnt- dns , " film cried. Although WatkliiH did not rcRpond o the vt oman's dying summons , It IH Htated liy persons who word prenent that Hho declared that Bhe had sworn unruly on the Htand and that BIC ) had lerjuied herself In testimony agalnut Watklns hccaiiHO BIO ) had heen forced to do It. Tliln statement , coming from the IB | ) of the only person who really could toll the true story , has made friends for Watklns , who claims that , ho whole scheme IB ono for black- mill. Ho nays that because the Nun- lemakers thought ho had money , they took this way of getting a portion of t. Mrs. Nunnemaker Is Handsome. Mrs. Nunnomaker la a beautiful wo- nan , striking In figure , clover and ex tremely attractive. The llrst time she over mot Watklns was at a dancing party given In Fairfax , when the voting attorney was rather Impressed with her appearance and took the liberty - orty of dancing three dances with her. Thlf ) , Watklns alleges , so aroused the enlous anger of Nunnomnkor that the alter was anxious to score against the single man , who Is just as nttruc- Jvo aa can he , smooth shaven , clear cut and stunning. WntUlns alleges that the woman tried to make engagements with him on ft couple of occasions , but that ho told her to come to the olllco If she wished to BCO him. On the morning when she ciinio to his boarding house , after she had arrived , Mrs. Heck , the land lady , went down town. It wns during lior a'bsouce that Nnnnomakor arrived on the scene , with his witnesses and tmllets. Hack of the dance there Is said to have been another reason why Nnn nomakor should hear malice against the former Nobrnsknn. Driving from Napor to Boncstool ono day , Wntklns' team ran Into the rear end of the buggy - gy driven by Nunnemakor. Watklns says that ho paid the damages in this case. Wntklns' Former Record. Watklns Is a Nemaha county boy , In Nebraska. Ho taught school In several places and later attended the colleges mentioned. Ills family are good people , his sister being a teach er at Lincoln now. His record , so far as known , Is excellent. The promi nent business men In the town here sympathize with him , believing that ho has committed no crime and that ho Is being persecuted. The Nunnemakcrs are said to have como to Bonosteel during the rush with the people known as the "Okln- homas. " There has been a rub here along between the Oklabomas nnd the opposite factions. It Is claimed the witnesses who accompanied Nnnne- maker to the Heck house were "Okln- homas. " There has been strong feel ing for months between the factions , as each wants control of the town. Will Sue Nunnemakers. Wntklns says that ho will win. "I have been damaged by this affair , ' says the young lawyer today , bis eyes Hashing In spite of the scar that curls beneath the left. "I shall clear my self of this fearful charge , though the blot can ijever be erased. I hnvo been damaged by It for life , nnd I shall sue the Nnnnemakers for $10,000.

NORFOLK MAN SERVED UNDER CZAR'S RULE AS SOLDIER. * HAS NO SYMPATHY FOR CZAR 'The Landlords Take Nearly all That the Peasants Make , " He Says , "And the Farmer In Russia Is a Slave and n Poor Pauper. " ( l-'rnm I'ili1u > ' 1'nlly.l The love of fatherland , that Inher ent feeling In the human heart that ends men to sacrifice everything for heir native land Is thu esplrlt that eally wins battle when nations go o war. Scott'fl patriotic Dreathcs there n man with soul do dead Who never to himself hath Bald , PhlB is my own , my native land ? " strikes n sympathetic chord In ev ery man's heart. The utter absence if this feeling among the Russian uasses explains largely their utter nek of success In recent engagements , 1'ho reason for It is described sue- clntly by Wm. Dolns , who in an In- ervlow with The News relates his > wn experience while a cltl/en of tiissla. Mr. Dolns lives on the Ilaaso 'arm north of town. Ho said : "I have no sympathy with either intloii. Naturally I could not favor ho Japanese , but Russia deserves no sympathy. I served live years In the tusslan nrmy without compensation Hid had to get aid from my people to otnrn home. They treat a common soldier like a dog. All the land Is > \vned by the aristocracy and Is di vided among the peasants In lots too small for thorn to make ft living from. Veurly all they make Is taken by the andlords. There Is no farm machin ery and the peasants hnvo to work mrd to support a system In which hey arc slaves niul paupers. " I Warnervllle.

Covered with this layer of molstnro which soaked nnd soaked down deep Into the earth , the sronnd has been put In tip top shape for a great growth of crops during the coming season. This snow fall , it Is sold , has been as much of a benefit to the farmer as so nrich of a fertiliser , and will mean blnsful of grain nnd banksfnl of cash next fall Incidentally it may mean Imnksful of water this spring , but the northwest will stand for that nil rlsht.

Streets nro still In bad condition and sidewalks ire damp and slippery as a result of the mists nnd the recent snows. There was no sunshine early In the lay and not a great deal of chance for It , If the signs of the matin were to bo believed. Still , It Is St. Pat rick's day St. Patrick's day in the morning , nnd It's always fair weather mder that condition.

The cattle wore sold on the South Omaha narkot and the money was drawn by llmmy Rhodes. The blended melody that springs from the throats of many different sorts of birds rang out clearly and sweetly on the misty air of the morn- ng today , to give the people of north- > rn Nebraska a warning that , In spite of the density of the fog that shrouds ho world , spring Is really nnd truly Doming nt last. There was the golden 10(0 ( of the yellow-breasted meadow ark , who poured forth his melody from vautnsro ground just outofslnht nnd who proclaimed his jov In nivlnp returned to his summer home ; tlmro was the delicate little sons of thf ilueblrd , the loud-voiced utterance of the crane , sweeping far overhead but bound for the north nnd a cooler clime ; there was the well known chirp of th-3 robin red breast , who was qlnd to bo alive , The blue-jay scolded and fussed nnd from high up in the heav ens came the noisy capkllng of the pso , making for the springtime abodes.
