"The gov rnor listened attentively and asked ua many questions aa to the kind of men we want. He gave us no definite assurance, however, aa to whom he would appoint." In tha Omaha delegation were: J. H. Mc Intoeb and George W. Shields, appearing M attorneys, Frank Meyers, F. A. Fltiger- ald. F. D. Wead, W. O. Ure, John M. Fren- er and Thomaa S. Boyd, witnesses.

Oil Meets All Retirements. In the several thousand barrels of oil Inspected by the state during tha last twelve months not an ounce haa been found that haa not fully met tha requirements of the law. Ona Inspector is kept almost onnat-ntlv buav in each congressional die trlot. They make complete reporta of all oil inspected, and a tabulation of these shows that in nearly t every case tha oil la i a little above the required grade. . "Before the department waa created there were frequent complaints of bad oil being , shipped into tha etate, but wo don't hear them any more," saia uepuir u . Church, who haa Just completed a tpur over most of the territory rn me rim tonal district. "Under tho state lnapeo- tlon barrel after barrel was rejected and eat back to tha shipper and tha practloe of, sending bad oil soon stopped. A w barrela of low grade oil have found their way Into tha atato and been Inspected In recent years, but none In tha last few months. . The requirements in Wyoming '.... u hih. and it Is known that a .large quantity of low grade oil is shipped through Nebraska Into that state. The Ne- Yr.uk department has no Jurisdiction over I ' ahlnmenU of that kind, unless, ot course. hm aala or Durchase was mads in this atate. "I never aaw the farms In southeastern Nebraska look any better than they do now, Soma of the low land along tho Nemaha and other rivers will not be very produc tive, but aa a whole the condition couldn't well be better.

Everything growing Beams to bo flourishing." ray Dearly for Railroads. Tho city of Lincoln haa paid approxi mately 890,000 mors In Intereat on railroad aid bonds than It haa received in taxes en the railroads. Last year tha city tAid 89.3&0 In Interest on these bonds. while the railroads paid only $987.55 In taxes. There V now $120,000 ot railroad bonds outstanding, which draw 6 per bent Interest. Of this amount $50,000 waa voted for tha Elkhorn. $50,000 for the Rock Island and $70,000 for the Elkhorn Besides these there ara upward of $60,000 railroad refunding bonda. When the bonds were, voted It was ar sued that the railroad property alone would more than pay the intereat on the bonda. Thla prophesy baa failed In every year, interest on me county rauroaa aia bonds also exceeds the tax revenue from the railroads. The city authorities are confronted by the problem of how to pay off the bonded and floating Indebtedness f the city and aa a solution it baa been euggested that a sinking fund levy be made. The bonded Indebtedness of the city is $1.1(7.100 and the floating Indebtedness $61,000. Some of the councllmen favor a sinking fund of 1 mill, but would' Insist , that It first be ap plied to the floating Indebtedness. Increased School Atteadanco.

W, .00 LOSE CALL FOR LYNCHING Martial Lssob of Valley Osts Prisoner Out of Town None Too Sesn. HAD ASSAULTED A SIMPLE-MINDED GIRL Deputy Sheriffs Meet Rim at Elk- horn and Make Haste to Land tho Prisoner In tho Connty Jail at Omaha. After a running fight, a hard drive and several narrow escapes from a crowd that threatened to take bis life, Albert Lleb acher reached the Douglas county jail at 10:80 last night under guard of four dep uty ahe-rlffs. He Is accused of assaulting Hattle, the 18-year-old daughter of Henry Plckard, a brick mason of Valley. Word reached the sheriff's office shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon that the Valley marshal was having difficulty In protecting a prisoner from an angry crowd and that help waa wanted. By telephone It waa replied that assistance would be sent and It was arranged that the sheriff's force should go only aa far as Elkhorn by train, then drive across country and meet the marshal, who was to slip his prisoner out of town and take to tbe road If possible. meeting the county officers somewhere on the seven miles stretch between the two towns. It unsuccessful the deputies were to go on Into Valley and take th prisoner at all baxards. Deputies Weber, Sherry, McClenneghan and Roach left Omaha on , Union Paclflo train No. 7 and reached Elkhorn at 8 80. About twenty minutes later a fagged, foam- covered horse wearily dragged Into the town a buggy containing W. H. Letch, the marshal at Valley, and his hunted pris oner. The latter Is a Saxon, little ac quainted with the English language, and resident In this country, he says, only six months. His age he. gives aa 18, but he looks to be a trifle older, and ssys he was a sailor boy two yeara. He was hatless and clad only In striped overalls and a coat, tbe rest of his wardrobe having been left at Valley for very aufBcient reasons. Depnllea Evade Angry Belntlvrs. Marshal Leech mad the transfer to the deputies and ten minutes afterward the lat ter were on their way to Omaha with the prisoner, every man armed and with no grass growing under the horses' feet. The danger did not then seem imminent, but the deputies declined to take chances, for while in Elkhorn telephoning to Valley for further information, they learned that tho assaulted girl's father and brother, angry beyond pacifying, had been In Elkhorn with seven of their friends, earlier In the aft ernoon thinking to Intercept the marshal and his ward. They had flagged a freight train at Valley and ridden to Elkhorn, where they accidentally received a wrong clue and started back to Valley on the same train that brought the deputies to Elk horn. The latter got off the front plat form of the smoker, and on the north aide of the train at the Identical moment that the man hunters were climbing on from the south side further In the rear. Neither party knew of the other's presence which Is probably very fortunate for Llebscher A representative of The Bee who was with the deputlos was given the following statement by aMrshal Leech when the lat ter reached Elkhorn: Story of the Crime. "Hattle Plckard, who is a mentally de flclent little girl. Uvea with her parenta Just back of the Reld hotel, which is man aged by her sister Lillian. Llebscher stop ped In Valley three weeks ago on his way from coaat to coast and waa engaged at the hotel aa dishwasher. This afternoon the girl and her mother called at the hotel and when Hattle and the boy were left alone in tbe kitchen he enticed her Into hla room, which is Immediately adjoining, and there accomplished hla purpose, giving her a quarter to keep silent. When she reached home and waa asked by her mother where she got tbe money tbe story came out. "The lad was still In the kitchen when LiUle rushed In to warn him that he bad best run for bis life, but he hesitated un til the girl'a mother reached the locked door and called out a threat to kill him Then he sprang through a acreened window and ran like a deer. "My deputy, o. E. Oalnea, and I were In the office of the Omaha Elevator com pany when he ran by, with Mrs. Plckard and Lillian after him. They called to me and I overtook him in a cornfield about a block from the elevator. "It waa not until later that he told mo the story of his misdeed and I started back Into town with him, ignorant of what had occurred. But as we retraced our steps an angry crowd, unarmed, but determined, gathered about us, told me what had happened and tried bard to get at the boy. Gaines and I fought them off with difficulty and I finally amuggled the prisoner Into the Valley bouse and up to a room on the second floor. Time to Make Tracks. 'I thought we might be safe, but sent Galnea for a rig. Shortly afterward the girl's father and brother, apparently wild with anger, came toward the hotel with a larger crowd and, I believe, with a rope. I saw it was folly to stay and bp trapped and I took the prisoner through a rear door on the run. Oalnes bad appropriated the first rig he came to, which was a-single horse and buggy belonging to some farmer. and we ran Into him Just In the nick of time.' Gaines stayed and the prisoner and I drove off as fast as the horse could go. "I made for the slaughter bouse, think ing the chase would be abandoned as soon as we were out of sight, but In a very few minutea Gaines raced up on horseback and warned us that the crowd was follow ing. I could see It In the distance then and directed Galnea to ride off to the east to mislead the pursuers, while we would sneak to the south. Th plan worked, I guess, for we have - reached Elkhorn In safety. To do so, however, I circled clear around by the lower Elkhora bridge and drove that farm horse nearly fifteen miles over soft roads In scarcely more than an hour." v On the ride to Omaha from Elkhorn the prisoner waa little disposed to-talk, only saying: "It waa some foolishness of mine.
