TDRCEONS STAY IN STATE
Acting GoTemor Etcalo Hafuaes to Hootr
Baqniiition from South Dakota,
FILES ANSWER IN POLICE BOARD CASE
.Heavy Rains Have Had Xo Effect on
stream teed for Irrigation and
Flow of Water la Sow
Below normal.
aNCOLN. June 21. (Sp-rlal.) At the
n conclusion of long-drawn bearing Act
ing Governor Steele thli afternoon denied
the requisition from the governor of South
Dakota for C. W. Turgeon, Voltaire Tur
geou and Adelore Turgeon, who reside near
Dakota City, for trial on the charge of
shooting with Inteut to do great bodily
harm.
The case presented several peculiar feat
'res. The Turgeone occupy land near
Dakota City, the title to which has long
been In dispute. About a month ago a
posse of deputy sheriffs of 8outh Dakota
arrived on the homestead and essayed to
take possession. They met the aettlers and
a dispute ensued In which several shots
were fired by both sides, some of which
took effect. The officers were unable to
make the arrest or gain possession of the
land and made haste to the South Dakota
capital to get out a legal process. In the
meantime the Turgeons were traveling with !
11 possible speed to the Nebraska capital
to get a requisition for the deputy sheriffs.
The Nebraska requisition was denied by
the governor of South Dakota on the ground
that the shooting occurred In that state
If at all and that the governor of Nebraska
bad no Jurisdiction in the case.
In denying the South Dakota requisition
Acting Governor Steele gives a similar
reason, though Its application Is different.
He holds that the shooting occurred In Ne
braska territory and that men cannot be
taken to South Dakota for trial. The dep
uty sheriffs were outside of their Jurisdic
tion when the trouble occurred and their
only recourse Is to begin proceedings In a
, Nebraska court.
' Answer In Police Doaril Case.
The attorney general's office haa made
another contribution to the literature of
the Omaha Fire and Police commission case.
' It Is in the nature of a reply to the motion
of C. C. Wright for a rehearing. The docu-
' xnent Is prepared by Morris Brown, assist
ant attorney general, and is aa follows:
Replying to ihe brief of counsel for the
reiuiur In this case we call your honor s
attention to the tact that not a single au
thority is cited which Impeaches the ruie
of the opinion of this court horetotoie
rendered In this case. To particularize;
The cace of the btate apalnxt Tutor, 6 Am.,
Deo. lttt, wan suit between Individuals
,over tin oftice created by a private cor
poration and was not a niiit In which the
tMte hud any interest whatever. It was
entirely proper and correct lor the court to
retuse to render a judgment In that cusc
for the .reason that at the time it was
called upon to render a Judgment the re
lator was not being kept out of any office,
nor was the detendant holding any ottlce.
There was therefore nothing to ndjuugo.
So in the case of the State attalnst l'orter,
II N. W 71a, there was no content between
the state and somebody elne, but it was
tolely a dispute between Individuals, each
' 'it whom claimed to have an elective title
,o oflice. The otllce had expired and there
van nothing left to determine, the title of
loth parties to the olllce In question having
- tolled by limitation.
8o In the cane of Ilurd against Heck, 45
lac. Rep. The state was not a party. It
Vas a lawsuit between Individuals over
tin possession of an office to which each
Was claiming his own election. When the
clone was called in the supreme court for
h-arlng the term of ottlce had pissed,
ndther party to the suit had any title O
tie oflice ai the time and the court very
pwperly on Its own motion dismissed the
proceeding because no substantial relief
caild be granted either party,
.n Dean against State, 66 Neb., 301, the
""eoitest was between claimants to the office
of mayor, each claimant alleging that he
hal received a majority of the votes, cast
at the election. Their title to the office
Wat an elective one. The title to the oflice
.. foi either party died with the explrutlon
. of the term. The state was In no sense a
paity to the lawsuit, and It cannot be con
etned as a precedent in this case. The
opldon In dismissing the case cites that
the suit waa a proceeding brought not by a
public prosecutor, but by a rival claimant
to sn office.
Tke original Moores case and the Ken
nedy case were each brought by tho chief
law officer of the state to determine the
powr of the governor to appoint a police
boaid. That waa the thing adjudicated
and the question determined. The state
was a party and Is hound by the decision
Unless thl court shall now determine that
tne doctrine of res adjudicata as an
nounced In the O'Chandler case and later
followed in the Kennedy case and sup
ported by the courts of California, Illinois,
Kansas, Texas and all of the textbooks
cited in our original brief In this case, is
wrong. We do not believe that the- au
thorities of counsel for the relator cited
and above referred to are sufficient to over
throw the opinion heretofore rendered by
this court. .
Delegates to Mining Conarresa
Acting Governor Steele baa appointed the
following delegates to represent Nebraska
at the International Mining congress, which
will be held In Butte, Mont., September 1
to 6, Inclusive: C. F. Robertson, C. B.

The recent heavy rains throughout the
atata have bad no appreciable effect In the
supply of water In the various streams
that are used for Irrigation. In the Platte
and other large rivers the water la rapidly
decreasing In volume and la already below
normal for this seaaon of the year.
v "The inspection of the department shows
that the Platte river Is lower than It has
bean In June for several years," said B.
E. Forbes, assistant secretary of the. Board
of Irrigation. "This la not because of lack
of rainfall, but la due entirely to the lack
of anows In the mountains during the
winter. Farmers have thus far bad all
the water they needed, but It Is likely
that those who have to rely on Irrigation
solely will soon begin to suffer. A few
complaints have been Died In this office
from the western part of thevetate, but
most of them came from along the
minor streams and originated from some
approprtator taking more than his share of
the water."

RepairsHair
Nature always tries to
repair damaged hair. Some
times she succeeds, very
often she doesn't. She needs
a little help Ayer's Hair

touches It up, gives it new
life, brings back, the old dark
color, and makes it soft and
glossy. Cures dandruff, too.

by the military authorities until It Is known
positively whether or not the Dick bill is
to become a law.
"This bill makes the National Guard of
the country a part of the regular army
and provides not only for new equipment,
btu opens a way for the guard of each atate
to hold an annual encampment under the
supervision of regular army officers, and
at the national government's expense,"
said General Colby. "It haa been reported
favorably by both the senate and house
committees on military affairs and has the
endorsement of President Roosevelt. Every
Interest seems to be In fsvor of the bill
and unless It dies under the head of 'un
finished business' will unquestionably pass
and become a law. The bill waa recom
mended by the National Guard Association
of America and Introduced In congress at
Ita request, but not before It had received
the approval of the president and other high
authorities."
General Colby said the holding of an en
campment, however, does not depend en
tirely on the passage of the bill. "Plans
may be devised, even If the bill Is de
feated by which we may bold an encamp
ment this year as usual," be said.
The claims of the railroad companies for
transporting the troops to and from the
encampment In Omaha last year are now
In the auditing department and will prob
ably soon be allowed. They amount to
within about $3,000 of all the money In the
National Guard expense fund. It Is esti
mated that an encampment this year would
cost In the neighborhood of $20,000.

Less than a corporal's guard responded to

qualn for the nomination of governor. This
was seriously opposed by G. W. Tibbets

to adopt the resolution was lost. Dungan
was the only one who voted to sestaln It.
An effort was then made to elect R. B.

thlnga be took exceptions to Norrls Brown's
remarks against Porter In his address be
fore the republican state convention. He
put the blame on the republican party and
which, he claimed, waa the author of the
brand law, but' did not designate where

them.

sent for and the resolutions adopted by the

mittee be appointed to act with a like com
mittee on the matter ot selecting candi
dates for the legislature. A motion to

ble discussion and was finally ruled out of

A motion to Instruct the delegates to the
congressional convention to use all hon
orable means to secure the nomination of
Judge It. M. Sullivan waa withdrawn at

sire to be a candidate unless the senti
ment was as unanimously for him In the
congressional convention as this conven
tion was for Klrkpatrlck for county at
torney. In that case he would accept. He
preferred to have Judge Westover or Har
rington nominated.
