tically the same thing.
The Snow deposition was offered , but an

poned and the nttorncjs took up Monday
afternoon and Tuesday forenoon In arguing
the motion In the afternoon the aUornejs
completed their argument and Judge
Thompson ruled that the testimony was
admissible and directed that the leading
of the Snow testimony proceed. The deposi

Ing him to meet him at his olllce and when
they met Rlngolsky told him he had got
mixed up In a will case In Nebraska and
that If he could break the will there was

In the case nnd that they could pro\o that
anothpr will had been made , but could not
pro\o Its contents Ho eald that the attoi-
nejs' fees would amount to $130.000 and that
if ho ( Harbaugh ) would furnish him a man
who would swear that ho had written this
will he would give htm ft per cent of the
sum Harbaugh took the matter into con
sideration and finally agreed to enter Into
the plan to provide a man who would make
the necessary statements.
The witness desciibcd the plan and told
how they had finally agreed on Snow as the
man who should swear that he had written
the will Snow was sent to nureka Springs
for his health and was to wait there for the
advertisement to appear In St Louis papers
and at that time ho was to return to St.

lived in Nebraska since 1SSO and In Lincoln

throughout the west as "the father of popu
lism In Nebraska. " He was a firm believer
In the original piinclples of the populist
party , but was oppcsed to fusion and on sev-
etnl occasions ho openly denounced the pop-
ocratlc machine that secured control of the
tin co anti-republican parties. 11 hi attitude
on the subjr-ct of fusion resulted In his dis
barment from the councils of his party , but
he remained until his death n staunch advo
cate of Its principles and purposes as set
down in its first plank.
Mr. Burrows was ono of the best known
nun In the state. Ho was a man of more

liarly eccentric In chatiicter. Although ho
served with honor on the union side duilng
the entire civil war , he afterward refused
to become a member of the Grand Army of

Largely through his clforts , both before and 1

1S9.2 , the leaders of the alliance movement 1
otganlzed tl'o populist party
The Farmers' Alllanco was foimed as a
