He did not appear to be especially distressed , ex- cppt by the warmth of the noonday sun , which , he remarked , was exceedingly oppres sive. sive.There There were only four attaches of the eherlrt's otllce , besides the reporters , present vrhcn llolln was brought In and there was coiiBonuentl/ excitement about the court house. ' Even tho" IbtinKsrs In the corridors and on 'the steps' dld'not know that the man who was to sioon beKlb , on his nineteen-year term In the peillteittlaiy' had just phased by on what was probably his last trip to the sheriff's' ! office , The mandate from the supreme court was received at the sheriffs ofllco late yesterday afternoon : and shortly afterward Holln was taken over to the Jail. The sheriff has thirty days In which to transfer Bolln to Lincoln , and as that ofllcor Is out of the city the time far the transfer will not bo settled until his return. WILL , TRY UNITED STATES COURT. Tue news that the suprems court had con firmed Holla's sentence was received by his attorney with no perceptible surprise. .J. W. West , who has had charge ot Delhi's de fense since he was llrst arrested , said that they now proposed to make an effort to get the case before the United States supreme court on the ground that the law ot Ne braska did not aufflclently authorize a prose. cutlon of a grave felony by information. This point baa been Insisted on by Bolln's attor neys all through thn case. Mr. West says that he will apply to the United States supreme court for a writ of error at once and If this Is secured ho will then ask for the release of Bolln on a supsf- icdeas bond. His position Is that the constitu tion of Nebraska , like the federal constitu tion and those ef most of the other states , provides that a man cannot bo compelled to answer for > felony unless lie Is Indicted by a grand Jury. Dnt , the constitution also pro-t vldes that ? the legislature may provide for , prosecution upon Information drawn by a pub lic prosecutor ; Ho .contends that the law or Nebraska does not -make any such provision cxcep , by , Ihference and tbah the prosecution ot Mr. Bolln on an Information filed by the county attorney was therefore unconstitu tional. _ _ Q.UKSTIO.V OP OWNERSHIP OF EMC. ri'iI from Park In Honrch of Food Into J. A.iluiiin' Corral. CHEYKNNE , Wyo. , May 19. ( Special. ) 'An opinion has been rendered by the at torney general of Wyoming In a novel case which probably could not arise In any state of the union except Wyoming. During the past winter an Immense number of elk , rs- tlmated to bo over 25,000 , came from the orc ts and mountains In and around the Yellowstone ' National park Into the Jackson's llwl'o region south of the park to winter. Food was scarce and the- snows deep and thousands ot these animals perished. The ranchmen of the region were compelled to Imllil strong and high corrals In order to hoop the ravenously hungry elk from brcftk- Ics ! r. and devouring the hay put up for' cattle. On the ranch of J. A. Adams seventy- nine elk found their way Into the corral and were m\ut up and retained by Mr , Adams , who decided to try and domesticate the ani mals , The game warden for the region de cided that Mr. Adams' action was a violation of the state game law and ordered him to release the elk. Mr. Adams refused to do this and appealed to the governor for per mission to retain his prisoners. In his let. ter of appeal Mr. Adams states that "thfao elk were simply corraled by me without any effort at pursuit , on my own premises , while they were In the act of depredating upon my pastures and hay rlcka Inside my en closure. " He stlggcuts that but for tbo fact of hl taking them Into hla possession they would probably have perished from starva tion and Insists that as he does not Intend hipping the elk from the state , but simply .wishes to hold them for the purpose of do- sneotlcaUon , ho Is not violating nny law. The attorney general In hla opinion upon thi > queotlon liolda that Mr , Adams la violat ing tlio state law which forbids faking deer elk or mountain sheep by any pitfall or trap , PILLS "Having been subject , for years , to constipation , without ln > luz able to find much relief , I at last tried Aver's nil * , ami testify Hint 1 Imvo derived great benefit from their use , For over two year * ivut I have taken ono of these ullUocry night , " < 5.V , liow- UAN , 26 Hast Main St. , Car I bio , r.i. CONSTIPATION He holds that Mr. Adams' corral was a. trap lu which the elk In question were taken even It they entered It voluntarily and were not driven In by the owner. He holds that the ownership ot all the wild game Is In the state and la the property of tbo state and the action of Mr. Adams In holding this class ot property contrary to the demand ot the game warden Is In violation , ot not only the statute but the common law. Mr. Adams' only recompense for saving Ihe animals from starvation Is said by the attorney general to bo had from the state legislature , which may reimburse him for hla outlay In saving the state's property It It so 'desires. The attorney general directs that a formal demand bo made upon Mr. Adams for the Immedi ate release of the Imprisoned elk and If this demand Is not compiled with that criminal and civil actions be commenced against him at once by the authorities of Ulnta county for the purpose ot maintaining the rights ot the state RS the legal and proper owner ot the animals.

The order Is returnable May 25. The board wae not represented In court. Chilli Tramp * the lilll.s for it SUNDANCE , Wyo. , May 19. ( Special , ) On Saturday tbo little son of W. N. Deavert of Houston Creek wandered from home and became test In the hills. Search was made for him by tbo family and this being un successful , the neighbors were notified and they Joined in the effort to find the boy. Sunday morning a messenger reached hero asking for volunteers. The call' ' was re sponded to by alniost every man and boy In town and a thorough and systematic search of the entire country surrounding the ranch from which the lltlle ono had strayed was commenced. An hour after the reinforcements commenced riding Ihe hills the boy was found. He had wandered nearly ten miles in the twenty-six hours he had been away from the ranch. Although but 3Hs years old , tbo boy had remained awake throughout the night and kept mov ing nearly all of the time , Considering the fact that the country la pretty well over run with wolves and coyotes , the boy's es cape from harm Is almost miraculous.

CHARGES ON MINE RUN DECIDED TOO HIGH Hdilo Ilonrcl of TriiiiNiiortiitloii Hear * mill Given II * Opinion In u CIIHC Hint AIYfoln Omaha I n ten-nil. LINCOLN , May ID. ( Special. ) Tlio coil ra'e ' ciwo was heard by the State Hoard of Transportation this forenoon , and an Intercut- Ing point was brought out which Is ot more than local Interest. The case was brought by George W. Grlhben on complaint of Lin- " coin and Omaha coil dealers that the Mis souri I'aclflc road has been charging too much for hauling- mine run coal from Pan' ntna , Mo. , to the two points named. It was set out that the rate on lump coal was $1.42 per ton , and thai the mine run rate should bo $1.07 % per ton , whereas tltft railroad com pany waa charging the higher rate for both grades alike. The railroad company set up a want of jurisdiction on the part ot the Doard of Transportation , making the show ing that It was an I liters Into matter. The case was heard by tlio Missouri Plate board a few days ago , and the decision was reserved pending * negotiations for a settlement ot the difficulty between the partial. In the hoir- Ing of the case thl * morning Iho defendant railroad company did not appear , relyingon Its objection to jurisdiction of the board. Two or three witnesses were examined nnd Uio subject of complaint was Inquired Into. Prom the testimony It appeared that the mlno run coal Is billed out ns such at Pan ama without objection by the railroad com pany , and that the additional charges are tacked on after the cara reach their destina tion. This the- members ot the board are Inclined to think would put the cise within their jurisdiction , and while tho- case la still under ndvlaemcnt , It Is stated that the de cision will be made tomorrow that an over charge la being made by the railroad com pany. It Is admitted that an appeal Is sure tq bo taken In order to rest Iho question , of jurisdiction , OLD APPROPRIATION HAS A SURPLUS. In a written opinion to the state auditor today the attorney general says that the claims of George W. Lcdlgh and others , amounting to $1,07G.GO , cannot bo paid out of the penitentiary appropriation of 1895 for the rcBson that the labor was performed alnco April 1 , 1897. He holds that after that date the pay must come from the new ap propriation and that the $10,000 that re mains of the appropriation of 1S95 Is not available and must be turned back Into the treasury on the 1st of AXigust. In regard to the claim for goods furnished the state by II. II. Glover & Co. , part of which was furnished In March and part In 'April ' of _ this year , the decision Is that the claim for tbo part furnished prior to April 1 must be paid from the 1893 appropriation. In case It were legal to do BO , the auditor had de sired to draw upon the old appropriation un til It waa exhausted , and the opinion was rendered upon his request for Information on this point. LINCOLN'S CHARTER CASE. The supreme court occupied the forenoon In hearing the oral arguments In the case of the old Excise board of the city of Lin coln against the now Fire and Police commis sion , Involving the coustltullonallty of that part of the new charter creating the com mission. The petition/was brought lu the form of quo warranto , praying that the Fire and Police commission might bo ousted nnil prevented from Interfering with the duties of the Excise board. Judge Ilccso appeared for the complainants and argued that the section creating the commission was an amendment to a section of the act of 1891 , and that the original section bad reference ! to on entirely different subject. Decisions' ' were read to show that original sections of an act , when amended , must bo In effect a tltlo to the section as amended. The con stitutionality of the acts of 1891 and 1897 was also questioned. Judge Tibbets and Judge Droady , attorneys for the respondents , In their reply to the arguments of Judge Reese , set up the plea that the court should decide according to the Intent of the legis lature and were Inclined to make light of the complaint. At noon the arguments closed and the case was taken under advise ment. The expert In the state treasurer's ofllco has almost completed the additions and postIng - Ing of the books for1 the period of four years ending January 1 , 1897 , and will commence tomorrow on a comparison of the vouchers with the amounts posted In tbo books. In this part of the work he will bo aided by one of.the other experts. No Intimation as to the result of the- work on the books has yet been given out. In the mandamus proceedings against the state auditor to compel the Issuance of vouchers for ofllclal salaries without an afflj davit having been made by tbo clalmant/tne supreme court has denied the writ , which In effect affirms that for tbo sake of uniformity all claims must bo sworn , to before vouchers can bo Issued.
