LINCOLN. Juno 27. ( Special. ) Governo ;
Holcomb has taken steps toward security
the $19,312 direct tax levied against the stati
of Nebraska March 2 , 1SC1. During tli
session of the last legislature Governor IIol
comb 'Addressed a communication to tha
body , informing It that he had received ad
Vices from Senator William V. Allen to thi
effect that there was now credited to Ne
braska the sum of $19,312 , awaiting a forma
demand for the same. The legislature 1m
mediately adopted a concurrent resolutloi
accepting .this amount from tne United States
Today Governor Holcomb requested Secretar
of Stats Piper to furnish him with an of
flclal copy of the joint resolution. Th
governor will now write Secretary of th
United States Treasury Carlisle , and formall ;
receipt for the money. The tax was on
levied upon Nebraska when a territory , a

In'regard to the Insane patient , Carroll
now confined In the asylum for Incurable

. some motive of secrecy tha affair was kep
from the newspapers , and Instead of In
Ktantly giving the widest publicity to th
matter. It was suppressed. If this us tru
the governor Is severe In his condcmnatloi
of such a mistaken policy. Carroll wa
tent up from Lincoln to Hastings two year

BUTTE , Neb. , Juno 27. ( Special Tele-
grah. ) After deliberating for one hour and
ten minutes the Jury , on the first ballot , ar
rived at the conclusion that George D. Mulll-
lian , Moses Elliott nnd Alfred R. Harris
were not guilty of the murder of Barrett
Scott. The case has been an Interesting one
from the beginning , owing to the fact that
nany and complex Issues were Involved
ther than the guilt or Innocence of the
ccused. The legislature of the state took
o much Interest In the prosecution as to
ring before It for consideration a bill which
vas passed by both houses , but vetoed by
he governor , allowing the prosecution In a
rlmlnal case to take a change of venue to
ny other county In the state. By a reso-
utlon of both houses the attorney general
vas Instructed to take charge of and prose-
ute the case. After looking over the ground
he state's counsel decided to Inflict upon
loyd county the odium of having the das-
ardly assassination committed within Its
jorders. owing to the fact that the body of
he murdered man had been found on the
lorth side of the Nlobrara river , about ten
'eet from the Holt county lino.
After a trial lasting more than two weeks
.nd costing the people $10,000 the case was
lompletcd today and the murderers 'are
till at large.
LARGE CROWD PRESENT.
In spite of the heavy rain of last night
and the prospects for a continuous downpour
today the court room was crowded this
morning to hear the closing arguments.
Attorney Harrington spoke for two hours
this morning , reviewing the evidence brought
jut by both sides. Attorney General Churoh-
II closed the case , speaking about two hours.
The Instructions of the court were read to
he Jury after the noon recess and were very
engthy and explicit. In the matter of venire
: ie Instructed the jury that It would be
necessary to find beyond a reasonable doubt
hat Barrett Scott was hanged and came to
ils death In Boyd county before they could
bring In a verdict of guilty ns charged. He
ilso Instructed them that political parties
and factions and sympathy for the friends
or relatives of the defendants or the mur-
Icrcd man should not bo weighed In ar-
Ivlng at a verdict.
As soon as the bailiff notified the judge and
he attorneys that the Jury had reached a
rerdlct the court room was filled to over
flowing by the friends of the accused and
ho people of the city , as well as a host of
'armors who had como to town to hear the
verdict.
SCENE IN THE COURT ROOM.
The Jury came In shortly after 4 o'clock
and were asked by the Judge If they had
ileclded upon a verdict. Each man answered
yes and as the foreman handed up the vcr-
llct a stillness pervaded the room. No In
dication could ba found In the faces of the
ury what their verdict was , but the defend
ants and their attorneys did not seem to be
at all worried. When' ' the court read the
verdict of not gullly Mrs. Mulllhan and Mrs.
Elliott broke down and gave vent to their
overwrought feelings In a burst of tears ,
The defendants were visibly affected and
received the congratulations of their friends ,
counsel , court and Jury , evidently belnp
thankful that the long trial was over. The
men and their families have not left town ,
but are making preparations to start in the
morning.

CRAWFORD , Neb. , June 27. ( Special. )
Shortly before the passage ot the now Irri
gation laws two claims wcro filed hero ap
propriating the waters ot White river for
power purposes. The first was filed by Lcroy
Hall , proprietor of the flouring mill about
three miles north of the city on the White
river , proposing to take the water from the
river on Fort Robinson military reservation.
near the city , nnd conduct It by canal ou
he west side of the river to his present
mill site.
The second claim was filed by W. T.
Forbes , a prominent local merchant , propos-
ng to take the water from the river three
nlles above Fort Robinson , on the reserva
tion , and to conduct It by canal to the high
hills In the southern part of the city.
The War olilco at Washington was the
scene of the fight for priority of way over
the reservation. There Is only enough water
In the river for one of the proposed ditches ,
nnd Hall wanted the power only for his
mill. Forbes had offered Hall sulllclent power
to run his mill free If Hall would withdraw
his claim. This was refused ,
CITIZENS' DITCH FAVORED.
Forbes was backed by almost the cntlro
community In his efforts to secure the power
for Crawford , and last week received word
from Washington that his claim was allowed
for the Citizens' ditch , and work was com
menced Immediately on Its construction. I
Forbes today drove The Bee correspondent
over the proposed route to the scene of op
erations , passing on the way the surveying |
outfit under J. R. Hlckox , who surveyed the |
I ) . & M. railway through hero. Hlckox says
that the ditch when completed will give |
Crawford the finest water power ho has any
knowledge ot between Niagara and Great
Falls.
The canal will bo fifteen miles In length.
The width at the bottom Is six feet , and i
will run a stream of water four feet deep I
to the hill south of town , where an almost j
perpendicular drop of ninety-six feet will
bo had , furnishing about COO horse power.
Two miles further on another drop of sixty-
five feet will ba had , where the water reenters -
enters the river , Just above Hall's mill , leav
ing him the river as he has It at present.

After leaving the surveyors , climbing along
the side of an almost perpendicular butte , ,
The Bee correspondent entered a beautiful
spot , the head of the Citizens' ditch , where
a large group of men , with horses , scrapera. i
picks and shovels , are at work , protected !
from the heat by the beautiful and heavy i
timber through which they are cutting. The
cost of the Citizens' ditch , as estimated by
Forbes , will bo about $75.000 , which will In- |
elude the making of two or three large ar
tificial lakes and reservoirs near the city.
