LINCOLN' , Oct. 18. ( Special ) The ml-
prcmo court this nftcrncon decided In favor
t ox-Supcrtntcndcnt L. J. Abbott of the State
Asylum for the Insane In his suit agnlnst the
etato for $1,000. which amount ho claimed
was duo under an appropriation by the legis
lature. The salary bill as pnreod by the
legislature of 1897 provided for n salary of
$2,000 per year for the superintendent of the
nsylum , but the bill nlRned by the governor j
piovldcd for a enlary of $2,800. Several other i
claims similar to the one of Ur. Abbott have I
been filed with the auditor and , according j
to the decision of the supreme court In tUe
cnso decided today , they will probably bu
paid. All of thcso claimants , as well as Dr.
Abbott , netted for only their original salary ,
but after the terms of office expired claims
for the excess amounts were at once filed ,
rationing Is the syllabus of the opinion :
The .SjllnlniH.
The enrolled 1)111 ) authenticated by the
proper olllrers of the houses , approved by
the governor nnd Hied with the secretary
of state and the journals of the houses arc
the otnclnl records of the proceedings of
the legislature rclatlvu to the enactment of
the law and are the only competent evl-
deuce In a controversy In regard to the duo
pasiaRe of the bill , or In respect to alleged
material errors In Us substance.
PolioIng Is a quotation from the opinion :
In some cases the records of lnt resort
have approved the reception In evidence of
the engroRxed bill. In this state we have
not decided the enrolled bill to be conclusive ,
but have examined the legislative Journals.
In no case up to the present lias the supreme
premo court approved the reception and con-
( Idcratlon of anything- more or further than
ive tmvo Just stated.
After several illations of authorities and
quotations from Nebraska cases , the opinion
continues :
The memoranda or slips of paper attached
or pinned to the original bill were clearly
Incompetent : they were In no manner Iden
tified except by their subject mutter
respectively , and the fact that they were
In the otllce of the secvctnry of state and
placed there by an officer of one house of
the legislature , and probably that they
were HO dcllveied occurred because they
were pinned to the original bill. There was
nothing- more to show that ihey ever be
came or were of the proceedings of the leg
islature. The original bill and the engrossed
bill were- not Mcntlllecl by the signature of
nny person or In anv other manner than
that they were placed In the office of the
secretary of state by an ofllcor of the leg
islature. The engrossed bill Is not such a
matter of care nnd record In the proceed
ings that It should bo received to impeach
the statements of the properly authenti
cated records of the acts of the legislature.
.in < o Stolen Cattle.
In the casa of Edmon George against
the State the supreme court holds that the
crimes of stealing and receiving stolen cattle -
tlo nro separate and distinct offcnaea.
13dmon George , In Cherry county , was
charged with larceny of cattle on the first
count of an Indictment and In the second
count It was alleged that ho knew the eamo
Tvoro stolen with the Intent of defrauding
their owner. A Jury impaneled to try
the Issues raised by a general plea of not
guilty returned a verdict of conviction on
the second count , but made no finding on
the , first count. George then appealed. The
case was remanded and the defendant was
again found guilty and sentenced. Follow
ing Is the syllabus of the opinion In the
case :
The [ crlma of stealing cattle nnd or re
ceiving stolen cattle described In section
117 of the Criminal Code are separate , and
distinct offenses. Where Information , In
different courts , charges separate and dis
tinct crimes and the accused on the trial
Is acquitted on a count charging one crime ,
but Is convicted on a count charelne nn-
othef crime , he cannot , on a new trial be-
granted , be tried for the offense of which
Jie'was acquitted ut the former trial. In
fiuch cases the new trial can be granted
only on the count upon which a conviction
VVHH had on the former trial. Whete a
crime consisting- several degrees Is
charged In different counts of nn Informa
tion the allowance of a new trial goes over
to the -whole case , In a criminal case but
one Issue can properly bo before the court
\ at one time.
k. . It Is unnecessary to pit-ad facts of which
( the court will take Judicial notice.
A plea In bar may be disregarded If presented -
sontod while the plea of not guilty remains
on the record.
A plea In bar need not bo Interposed to
call to the attention of the court matters
of record which show that the accused was
duly acquitted on the lmo count In tht >
nme cn o of the identical charge upon
) which it Is proposed to try him again.
AVhother a defendant is authorized to
withdraw a. plea of not guilty after the
Issuu rained by It has been , In the orderly
course of procedure , unalterably adjudi
cated , quaere.
Where a court entertains and considers
the merits of u plea In bar without a formal
withdrawal of the plea of not guilty It is ,
/ nt most , n morn irregularity and the action
of the couit thereon may tie the subject of
review-
In such case tht- plea of not guilty will
bo consldeied as constructively withdrawn.

TORT CROOK , Neb. . Oct. 18. ( Special
Telegram. ) The democratic county conven
tion met In the city hall at this place today , j
It was a quiet affair , not exceeding seventy- !
five persons being In attendance Including
delegates , populists and ullver republicans.
There was scarcely any applause when the
candidates were nominated. The convention
was called to order by W. H. I3etz , chair-
mnn of the democratic committee. Amos
was chosen chairman nnd James
Langdon secretary. Charles Bebrnet for'
ounty clerk and R. I. McCormnck for
ounty treasurer were nominated on the
first ballot.
William Storers , Samuel Startzer , Ed
ward Macnvoy nnd E. B. Craglc were named J
or sheriff. After eleven ballots Edward
Mncavcy of Forest City was nominated.
The nomination for judge was left to the
lopullst convention , which was being held
n a pool room near by. James Mulllns was
named by the populists , but the democrats
gave them to understand they would accept
10 other than Charles Nownra fcjr the Judge-
ship. The populists claim that this Is noth
ing but a game of freezeout. The friends
of Edgar Howard made n strong pull to keep
aim In the judge's chair , but tbo opposing
faction was too strong
State Auditor Cornell waa present lo make
a speech and square himself with the pee
ple , but some trouble arose over the action j
ot th chairman , who was ousted and a now '
man. put In his place , which prevented
nny speech-making. The populist wings
feel Tcry much hurt that the democrnts
nhould attempt to dictate nnd as n result
much dissatisfaction prevails.
