delegation of popullets from the Sixth dls-
trlct , headed by Judge William Neville ,
'waa In Lincain today In conference with the
populist state central committee relative to
the politlcal elluation In the northwestern
portion of the Mate. The plan is to open
the campaign in that district immediately
kith an army of populletio talent calculated
to carry everything before it. W. J. Bryan ,
Stlaa A. Ilolcomb , "Coln" Harvey , probb
ably Governor I'oynter , and several other
'well known fualonlata have been engaged
to deliver Bpeochee ever the dietrict and as
addltlonal attractions a number of barbo-
ouee will be given.
Popullnts from the Sixth district are not
eo extravagant in their claims regarding
the suocese of their congressional ticket ne
tbey were several weeke ago. Thoeo who
! olatmed two weeke ago that Neville would
'
be elected by at least 10,000 majority now
admit that the lIght will be a close one and
that their candidate will not have more than
L000 votes to spare. The popullet central
Committee realizes that the chanoee for the
populist candidate's election are not as
good ae they might he and arrangements
> tavo boon made to open the elate campaign
! n that district. Governor Poynter bas
been mentioned ae one of the apeakore , but
on account of the very general dimatisfac-
tlon existing in that section over some dt
his otfctal acts it la poealble that his name
, may be taken oft the list of epeakers.
Alleged Kldnalting Case.
Am tntorcettng case of alleged kidnaping
was brought to the attention of Governor
Poyntor this afternoon through a requlaitlon
. 'rem ' Governor Stanley of Kansas , asking
for the return of Mrs. Rachel E. Jones and
Goargo J. Jonee , both of Bennett , Neb.
After bearing the claims of tire defend-
ante the governor declined to honor the
roqutsttlon.
ho ease Ia the result of a family quart -
t i rel. 'It sootna that about eight years ago
the mother of two little girls , then 2 and
I e years of age reepocUvoly , died and the
t children were placed under the taro of their
grandmother , Mrs , Jones. At that time she
l was hying In Kansas and near the chit-
drone' fatbcr. The latter , it is asserted ,
saw theme often and often agreed that Mrs.
Jonas might have them to raise. Lost winter
Mrs. Jones moved to Nebraska with the
children , being assisted in proparlnp for the
trip by her brother George. As soon as
the father hoard of this lie oommenced
prooeedings for the return of the children.
Governor Poynter heard the different ver-
raione of the case and decided that the chil-
dronwould be better taken care of by Mrs.
Janos , and the requisition was denied. It
Is thought that the charge of kidnaping
was placed against Mrs. Jonas and her
brother simply to got the children back to
Kansas , where the father might eecure pos-
seeslon of them.
