NELIGH , Neb. , June 2. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) Sells & Rentfrow's cir
cus exhibited here today. The camp fol
lowers were , to say the least , robbers and
thieves. This morning they opened nego
tiations with an old soldier named Louis
Farber ( or the purchase of his farm near
hero , but questioned his credit and reputa
tion. The old gentleman , to prove his abil
ity to pay , went to the Commercial State
bank and drew oiit.GOO ho had there on
deposit , and took It to a tent In the circus
grounds to exhibit. When he produced the
money one of the men grabbed It nnd ran.
The old gentleman was so confused that he
said nothing until Mr. Alder , the cashier ,
called the attention of his son to the mutter.
When the old solillor and citizens rose In
arms and thrcatenol to burn the lentH ,
Judge Jackson at once got out warrants to
arrest the proprietors for harboring thieves ,
and they made themselves scarce. In the
evening the manager concluded discretion
to be the better part of valor and paid the
$500 back to Mr , Farber. A large crowd Is
In attendance nnd a good chance given the
sharpers to fleece the unwary.

LINCOLN , June 2. ( Special to The Bee. )
fho sensation of the day In Lincoln In polit
ical circles was the withdrawal of Allen W ,
Field as a candidate ( or the republican con
gressional nomination. Up to this morning
Judge Field had been looked upon as 'a lead-
lug candidate ( or the nomination. Ho had
considerable opposition , but his friends had
many good reasons ( or the belle ( that he
could b-ecuro the delegation ( rom thla county ,
and with the Lancaster county delegation
behind him hU nomination was conceded.
His strength In the counties outside \ > t Lane-
aster has neverbeen * disputed. He was de
feated ( or congress two years ago by the
defection of republican votes In the city of
Lincoln. This year the opposition he en
countered upon his first campaign has largely
' disappeared.
It Is openly charged hero that Field with
drew becaUBO he had been given to under
stand that a combination had boon made
whereby the district outside of Lancaster
county was to bo united against him. This
Is not the generally accepted bclle ( , how
ever. It is stated upon good authority that
Field has withdrawn from the race by
reason of au understanding with Judge
Strode , whereby the latter Is to meet with
no opposition In his congressional aspirations
and whereby Field will bo given the nomina
tion for the vacancy oh the bench created
by the nomination of Strode. '
