FUKMOXT , Neb. , April 9. [ Special to THE
BKH. ] Martin Lehman is nn old German who
died at his residence nt Snyder , this county ,
yesterday , and there is something of a mys
tery surrounding the case which Is now being
Investigated. Lehinnu was a well to do
farmer and had succeeded in accumulating a
comfortable compoteuco. About n month nso
n womuh named Wilhohninn Schouaschel ar
rived from Germany and was living with
Lehman until the time ot his death. Last
week , being taken sick , Lehman seat to Fre
mont for a notary public , WHOSO services ho
wanted to make out his last will and testa
ment. This instrument \vas made out ac
cording to his Instiuctlons , and In It ho be
queathed his property , valued at J5.000 or
$0,000 , to the Sehonaschel woman , with nn
exception of $ JOO , 8100 of which ho.g'ivo to
the local German Lutheran- church , nnd the
remaining pittance of S100 to his three chil
dren. This singular will has created a sus
picion that all things nro not right , nnd this
suspicion has been Increased by seine pecul
iar actions on the part of Mrs. Schonasehcl.
The old gentleman had about $1,000 worth of
notes hi his possession nt the time of his
death. These the woman had in her charge
when Interested parties sought their where
abouts , nnd her persistency in holding to
them , added to the suspicion surrounding the
affair. She tried to trade one of the notes to
an undertaker at Dodge for a coflln , when shoat
at the same time had money for Its purchase
in her pocket.
All those circumstances hnvo been noted
by Lehman's neighbors nnd caused a good
deal of talk among them. It llnally led to a
decision to hold an inquest and Coroner Dav-
ries went to Snyder today for that purpose ,
determined to maka a thorough investigation.

It Is stated that the supreme court of No-

farm mortgages In cususvhoro fnlluru of pay
ment Is on account of crop failure. Snuli a
decision will have the probable uncct of mik- :
In-,1 It Impossible for farmers to mortgage their

The foregoing Is a great mistake. No case
Involving such a point has over been pre

opinion of the land mentioned has over been
handed down. The clerk of the supreme
court does not Itnowi. of airy such case being
tiled , and if it had been tiled within the past
few months on account of the recent crop
failure no decision could possibly have been
handed down , as the supreme court is now
two years behind time in its work.

In this city , accused of the murder of Lieu
tenant Casey and whoso trial for the grave
charco begins next week , takes ids imprison
ment with the customary stoicism of his race.
The prisoner speaks Kngllsh llko a native
and Is n graduate of the Carlisle Indian
school in Pennsylvania. Ho Is about twenty-
two years of ago , of tluo athletic build and
says that if tno whites convict him he Is
ready to die. Ilo was arrested In March by
the military authorities at Fort Mead , and it
was only after the greatest pressure being
applied that tlio war department consented
to his surrender for a trial by the civil au
thorities of the government. Great expense
has boon encountered by the government in
bringing witnesses from all sections of the
country. Five Cheyenne scouts , nil eye wit
nesses of the scene , arrived from Fort Kcogh ,
Mont. , while Dr. Tcnoyck of Fort Leaven-
worth. Kan. , arrived at noon today to appear
as a witness for the purpose of idcntltylng
the body of the dead horo.
A pront effort Is being mndo by Plenty

to several the commission of the crime.
This morning the prisoner was taken to a

welded on by the milllnry authorities were
lllcd off. Ono of the eye witnesses of the
crime now in the city is a half-breed known
as Polo Uicard. Ho says : "I met Casey at
White Clay creek , not forty rods from the
hostile camp in which Plenty Horses was
located. Casey nud been up to the camp and
wanted to go in and talk to the head men.
but tfhjy wouldn't lot him. Casey turned

Only an Accident.
PiniuiK , S. D. , April 9. [ Special to Tun
Charley Hussoll , the well known In
dian trader of the reservation , was In Pierre
yesterday and gave the following estimate of
the battle at Wounded Knee from the Indian
standpoint :
The killing of Big Foot's band will have
n solitary effect upon the Indians. The rem-
nar.t of the band camped two days nt Mid
land on their way to Fort Sully nnd I never
In my life saw a more dejected and forlorn
looking 'lot of Indians. The whole band
numbered Just seventy-three , and out of that
number there were not more than a dozen
young bucks left. The balance were
women nnd children and descrepit old
men who could not light. Among the
seventy-three there wore also a number who
had received slight wounds but wore abio to
travel. The most of these Indians were not
In the light , for out of the band who were
directly in the light not more than twelve In
dians 'escaped nllvo or without wounds. I
conversed with a number of the band while
they were camped at Midland , and from
them I learned the full particulars of the
battle. There were altogether DM ) In
dians , Including Big Foot's baud
and followers of Sitting Hull who
had Joined him before the battle.
Out of this number two hundred and fifty or
two hundred and sixty were killed outright ,
twenty or twAity-fivn dangerously wounded
and the seventy-three I hnvo mentioned who
were not directly hi the main battle , escaped.
The old men of the band claim that they
never had any Intention of fighting the sol
diers. That if they had , thov would most
assuredly not have had their families
camped with them. It was all owing
t < 3 what they consider ono crazy Indian that
the battle occurred. It was when they were
being unarmed that this Indian jumped up
nnd commenced shouting that they would all
be butchered In cold blood as soon us they
were disarmed , and interspersed with this ho
sang the death chant. This went on for a
few minutes , when suddenly ha reached
under Ins blanket , pulled out a rifle and with
deadly aim dropped one of the leading ofllcors
the tirst shot. The Indians say that after
this occurred there was nothing for them , to
do but light and thnt U seemed no time until
the battle was wngine nt its worst. When
tbo Indians llnally broka nnd ran foraravlno
close by the light artillery of the soldiers was
turned on them and mowed them down lilio
grass. After this the cavalry mounted and
without any command pursued nnd shot
down nnd killed every single Indian that
could bo found. Some of the Indians had as
many as a dozen bullets In tholr bodies. "

and approved.
The following resolution was unanimously
passed :
Whereas , There have been brought to the

Resolved , 1. Not to close the university. 2.
The ooard regrets the unfortunate conjunc
tion ot events which resulted In tlio petition
from the students , addressed to the regents ,
nnd the request of certain morn but * of the
faculty , addressed to the president of- the
faculty , desiring his resignation. This re
quest seems to the ragouts to lend to the

and In no far to be ducidodlr reprehensible.

the grounds of the petition arc not well
taken , and the assertions mndo In support of
thorn nro contrary to the fnets. The trustees
linvjo iMrofully watched the administration
of the university , nnd wish to bear the high
est testimony to the executive ability , ner-
sonnl character nnd scholarly iiunllllcntlons
of the president. The board and president
labored under the embarrnssnipntofa greatly
reduced appropriation , yet the year Is re
garded by the board as in every way prosperous -
porous ; the university was stendllv growing
in the esteem and confidence of the people ,
and there was every reason to expect a pros
perous future. The board met on March
10 , and the members visited classes
and nindo iuvcstlentton of affairs generally
llnding them In a most satisfactory condition.
Tlio board Is unnblo to account for the sud
den outbreak among the students on nuy
grounds contained in UH- . petition , nnd tin-
nblo nlso to reconcile the position taken by
the majority of the faculty In countenancing ,
approving mid thus nbotilng n rendition of
niTnlrs which , by their m'mlsston ' to the
board , could only result in Injury and probable -
able ruin to the university.
Tbo regents decided to hold n special meet
ing the last of May , and postponed till then
the consideration of the question of faculty
for nil live of the institutions under their
charge. Hegent llrniult , chairman of the
university commltTco of the board of ro-
