LINCOLN , Nov. 25.-SpClal. ( ) The dc-
tense In the Davis murder trial rested this
afternoon , but It Is likely ttio can will not
reach a conclusion untlj Wednesday or
Thursday , owing to the large amount of re
butting testimony which the state will Intro
duce. So far nothing of a startling nature
lias been brought out by the defense. The
greater portion of It has been In the nature
of Impeaching evidence. Witness Shouso
has been tinder fire along this line ever since
the defense opened. He Is the man who
claims to have Identified the crowbar found
t the wreck ns the one stolen from htm
some time before. Day Captain Ho.igtand
was on the stand this morning. By the po
lice register bo showed that at the time of
Davis' arrest he ( Davis ) had no money on his
person , The Idea was to show that the state's
theory that Davis robbed Cherry was not
tenable. Passenger Hell testified that Broke-
innti Foote told him the Hock Island train
was going "like h 1" at the time of the
accident. Law Student Frank Eager was
called to testify that Shouse had calkd to see
Mr. Altxhuler , of counsel for the defense.
Shouse had denied this , and the court ruled
out Kager's evidence. Ex-Chief of Pollco
Cooper was on the stand this afternoon to
show that Dr. Fllppln was at the city jail to
ace Davis and that ho had said , after looking
him over , that he did not know him. This
evidence was corroborated by Fireman Top
ping. Dr. Fllppln had testified that he had
known Davis for two years and the negro
had called at his office the night before the
wreck.
Frank Zehrung , manager of the Funke
opera house , filed In the district court today
& petition asking for a temporary Injunction
restraining Dave Henderson , his manager ,
John F. Harley , all the actors and actorlncs
and property man of "Slnbsd" from showing
at the Lansing theater on Thanksgiving after
noon and evening. J. F. Lansing , Manager
Church and W. W. Cole are also called In
under the Injunction blanket and debarred
from In any way assisting In the production
of the piece at the Lansing. The petition
sets up that Henderson signed a contract for
the appearance of "Slnbad" at the Funko on
Thanksgiving. The contract gave him 75 per
cent of the receipts and a guarantee of $600.
In Chicago this contract was Interlined and
amended by Harley , since -which time the
Funko manager has been to considerable expense -
ponso In getting his hnll ready for the pro
duction of so elaborate a mice en sceneas Is
staged by the "Slnb.id" company. Zehrung
avers that Henderson Is now getting things
In shape to show at the Lansing and the
other defendants. Church , Lansing and Cole ,
are aiding and abattlng htm In the scheme.
The temporary Injunction was Issued by
Judge Hall , and the case will be heard so
soon as the defense comes In with a motion
to dissolve.
The supreme court today granted permis
sion to Attorney General Churchill to amend
Ills brief filed In the mandamus case of

L'ASSETT , Neb. , Nov. 25. ( Special , ) The
fall term of the district court for Rock county
adjourned at a late hour Saturday night , hav
ing been In session all week. Judge Barlow
presided. A largo number of cases were- dis
posed of and the docket Is pretty well cleared
up. Among the inora Important cases tried
was the Goodiy murder case , which resulted
In an acquittal. In May , 1803 , Louis Qoochy
shot It. N , Turpln of this county while at
tempting to recover two horses which Turpln
Biad taken up for trespass. Turpln died a few
days afterward and Goochy surrendered to the
authorities. Ho was tried that rail ana con
victed , the degree being manslaughter. It
was shown that one of the jurors wns dis
qualified and Goochy got a new trial. At the
cocond trial the Jury was out seventy hours ,
but could not agree. The theory of thn de
fense was that the killing was excusable on
( ho ground of self-defense.
Louis Kelley , wlio Is charged with receiving
stolen property ( cattle ) , got his case con
tinued to the next term. Frank Krskln was
put on trial on the charge of criminal assault
on a 10-year-old girl. The state failed In Us
proof , nnd on motion of the defendant the
court directed n verdict of acquittal.
A. H. Gale was the defendant In an action
for divorce on the ground of extreme cruelty.
A docrco of absolute divorce was granted , but
the plaintiff was denied alimony , Gale Is one
of the prominent citizens of this county , and
is qulto well known through the state. The
case attracted considerable attention.

LINCOLN , Nov. 25. ( Special. ) This mornIng -
Ing the State Canvassing board met In the
office of the secretary of state , but , acting In
accordance with Instructions from the su
preme court , adjourned until tomorrow. This
plan will be pursued from day to day until
the contests Involving the judgshlps of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth judicial districts
have been decided. So far n the Westover-
Barlow case Is concerned , It Is practically
ended In favor of Westover , the populist can
didate. The referee appointed to take testi
mony reported to the supreme court today
and the en so was argued. It was shown that
Westover has a clear title to the1 office on the
face of the returns , and Barlow concedes his
election. The proceedings In court , however ,
cut down Wcslovcr's plurality from eleven to
six. By Westover It Is claimed that ho wai
elected by eleven , but Ilartow claims that It
Is but by five votes. Jn the poll book the
tally sheet shows that Barlow received 2C2
votei In Chadron precinct , but. In extending
the vote on the books tlic election ofllclals
wrote It , spelled out In words , ns 2G7. It
was claimed by counsel for Barlow that words
should govern , thus giving him an ndvantag
of five vote * and wiping out that much of
Weitover'a plurality. In the Welty-Norrls
contest case the supreme court granted the
application for a writ of mandamus to com
pel the clerk of Fiwnas county to rocanvnss
the vote of Union procnlct. This la considered
a victory for Welly. A itlpulatlon was filed
this morning by which the contestant , Welty ,
withdrew all charges of fraud. In this case
llcferco Cordeal reported and the case was
argued , submitted and the writ allowed as
prayed for. The report of the referee shows
that In Union precinct , Furnns county , the
Judges either made a mistake or else the re
turns had bon tampered with. The work wns
decidedly coarse. In Union precinct Norrls
appeared to have received forty votes , Welty
thirty-three and a third candidate ten. The
forty opposite Norrls' name was also spelled
out as "forty. " In the regular lines of the
tally thcet appeared forty tallies , and In sum
ming them up forty had evidently been writ
ten. But above the name of Norrls at th be
ginning of the line flvo tallies had been Inter
lined and the forty at the end had been
changed to forty-six. According to this chang ?
of six votes Norrls was elected by three
votes. It Is thought conclusive that when all
corrected returns are given to the State Cnn-
vajslng board that both Westover and Welty
will bo declared elected judges In their re
spective districts.

Secure Comnititntlon of Sentence
ril tin nil r in niMt Only
After ii Iionur Trlnl.
WASHINGTON , Nov. 25.-Speclal ( Tele
gram. ) In the case of Mac Stuart , an old
employe of Colonel William A , Paxton , now
sentenced to bo shot for murdering a police
man In the state of Chihuahua , Mexico , which
has been called to the attention of the Slate
department by Secretary Morton , there Is
reason to believe- that a commutation of sen
tence will result through the efforts being
made In Stuart's behalf by the American con
sul there. If this action on the part of the
United States Is successful , and there Is every
reason to believe It will be , sentence will
probably be Imposed for twenty years , which
may be reduced to seven years by good be
havior on the part of the convict , under the
liberal law of Mexico. Mac Stuart , It Is
learned , Is not a model citizen , having shot
a man nnmed Ilogcrs some time previous to
shooting Iho policeman nt Parral , In the
state of Chihuahua. He was convicted for
the first offense and sentenced , but a rehear
ing of the case was secured through Inter
vention of the United States consul and he
was released. In the last case It Is as
serted that Mac Stuart was drunk and dls-
or.derly and the policeman trying to arrest
htm when he was shot.
HAD A FAIR TRIAL.
There Is no evidence to show that he was
tried by a drumhead jury , and convicted
without being permitted to Introduce testi
mony. On the contrary , the trial was cx-
haustlvo In character. The condemned man
had every opportunity to sot forth mitigating
circumstances
Senor Homsro , Mexican minister , says that
the assertion that self-defense Is not plead-
nblo under the Mexican law Is absolutely and
unqualifiedly false ; that , If anything , the
Mexican law Is much more liberal than in
the United States In this regard. While he
Is not acquainted with the merits of the
case , ho has written for minute partic
ulars , that refutation may bo made as to the
savages the Mexicans are made out to be.
In refusing to allow a plea of self-defenso In
cases where murder has been committed.
A. W. Butt , who has been with Minister
Hansom In Mexico for the past nlno months ,
says sentence of death Is rarely ever carried
Into effect. There are certain Crimea punish
able by death under the statutes , but that
In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the
sentence of death Is revoked by the president
or the governors of the states , and sentence
modified to life Imprisonment , which. In
nearly ovc-ry Instance , is reduced to twenty
years , and afterward to less , according to
good behavior. Capital punishment is re
garded as something horrlblo by Mexicans ,
and nothing but the foulest and most in
human crlnic > s arc punished in that way.
HELPING OUT HENDERSON.
General T. J. Henderson of Illinois , can
didate for chief clerk of the house of repre
sentatives , is In receipt of several petitions
to congress , signed by a number of the leadIng -
Ing citizens of Nebraska , calling upon con

chief clerkship. These petitions wcro pre
sented to General Henderson by Congress
man Halner , who arrived from Aurora this

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25. Secretary Iloke
Smith , in his annual report , will recommend
that the Carey law , granting 1,000,000 acres
of lands to each of the states in which such
lands are situated , bo amended so that the
grant bo made to the state outright , and It bo
made responsible for the Irrigation of the
lands. Under the law as It now stands , It
would be many year before the state would
receive the benefit of the grant , and Secretary
Smith believes the state- can carry out better
the Intention of congress If It gets control of
the entire grant at once Instead of waiting
until water is secured for the lands.

AMUSEMENTS.
To the average and constant theater goer
of Omaha , especially to him who looks upon
the bright side of things nnd believes tha
after all life Is nothing more than a inorry
comedy , of course with a few dark clouds
thrown In , the coming of William II. Crane
Is the particular event to which he looks for
ward. Ho Is sure that his bright , sunny phllos
ophy will be tlchled then , and ho therefore
reaps consolation for the weary and often im
successful search ho has made through the
rest of the season for a bright bit over whlcl
ho can laugh sincerely.
There are many such theater goers In this
city of ours , If the house to which Crane
made his bow at the Doyd last night can be
measured by this standard. Almost every
scat was taken by people who came to laugh
and did laugh.
Crane appeared In his new play , "His
Wife's Father , ' 'a domestic comedy , as It Is
called. It la rightly classed , for every one
In It Is a relation of some onu elsd or ulti
mately becomes one. And it gives all hinds
of opportunities to Crane as the father whc
would not cease to love his daughter Just
simply because she got married ,
It Is useless to criticise , or , rather , pralss
the Brest cmnedlan , because there Is nothing
new > nat can be said of him. His humor Is
not so much expressed through his words ,
humorous as they are , hut his every gesture
and motion Is a mint of humor which the
opectator cannot resist. The play docs not
give him as much opportunity to play on the
tearful sympathies of his audience as others
In which he hag appeared , hut he has a
number of lines which Ur.d to make the
eyes glisten.
Crane Is supported by an excellent com
pany. Gladys Wallace was mlRS5d , but the
parts were on ths whole well taken and
rendered with undervaluing of their capa
bilities.
' " 1492 " to the
nica's extravaganza. , comes
Crelghton nrxt Thursday , opening the en

tractions that have yet lent luster to the
Brilliancy of " 1492. " Illchard Harlow Is the
original daisy queen of Spain , the young
0Dllcgo athlete who kept the lorgnettes of
Mew York's 400 leveled at him during theo
, > \\-o years run of " 1482" In New York City.
3f the Kllanyl living pictures It Is said that
Ley are the originals , and that while they
lave been copied and counterfeited In many
ways the Imitations have not been successful.

lay matinee. The boxes arc to be occupied
