SPELLMAN IS NOT GUILTY Jury Betnns Verdict of Acquittal After Taking Thres Ballots. UJDGE BAXTER TALKS TO DEFENDANT ?ourt Telia the Tonus; Man that lis Ila Narrow Escape and AstUn ' Him to Keep Oat of V rights. Yesterday morning a Jury left district court room No. 1 to determine the guilt or innocence of John Spellraan, participant In the row la which Earl Caldwell, strike breaker, was killed at Twelfth and Cass treets the night of September 1$ last. At 2:10 the Jury submitted a verdict of not guilty. The Jurors took three ballo'.a kind were In the Jury room practically only evrnty minutes, as they gave bo time to consideration after the completion of the argument In the morning and before they eut to dinner. The verdict was signed by T. J. McOoldrick as foreman. When It was read there was no demonstration beyond tome congratulating of the attorney for the defense. Judge Bailer called Spellraan to him and remarked that he had anrmed to have a close call and that It should prove WHY? The nun One Minute Couh Curs laBevetaeouea hi one minute.

The prisoner was then dis charged and Deputy Abbott states that so far as he knows there will be nothing fur ther done In the matter of prosecuting tor Caldwell's death. A quick verdict was anticipated, as the jurors were weary. They have been in the custsdy of bailiffs since Tuesday morning, and all but one of them are men with fami lies. One has a sick wife; thres had teams that could do nothing but eat while the owners were on the Jury; another received word yesterday that two of bis employes had quit all of which circumstances were considered by the counsel of both sides to be not conducive to long deliberation or slow conclusion. The first argument made Friday was by W. P. Ourley, employed by Caldwell'a widow. Friday afternoon Attorney Ritchie, for the defense, talked more than two hour and yesterday morning talked forty Eve minutes. He argued that the blow fatal to Caldwell was not that delivered by Spellman and received by Caldwell on I the left Jaw, but a blow from a club In the hands of some other member of the attack ing crowd. The Dual argument yesterday was by Deputy County Attorney Abbott, who rea soned that the wound fatal to Caldwell, be ing the one at the back of the head, was one reoelved when he lit In the bottom ot the ditch into which Bpellman's blow knocked him. When one falls, Abbott said, he Involuntarily holds his muscles tense until his body reaches the level of his feet, but after that there la Immediate relaxa tion and the downward trip is made in limp condition. This being true, he argued, Caldwell struck the bottom ot the ditch with his neck limber and his head fell back loosely against the earth over some half bidden stons or brickbat, with the result that there was Inflicted the wound which shortly afterward caused his death. The blow Inflicted with a club, Abbott said, was responsible tor only the cut and wound found on the forehead. COUCH CURE fteseeeUby . a Be WITT OO.. Ohhtac A Timely Ssaseat toa.

WILL TEST QUESTION IN CIVIL SUIT Lawyer Maintains that Decision by J a due Sanborn Settles the Right f Widens to Dispose) of Their Claims. The alleged violation of law by the widows of soldiers who have entered lands in the cattle country for the use and benefit of the cattle raisers will be determined by a civil suit against the land department ot the Vnlted 6tates If the plans ot V. Q. Slmonson of Alliance are carried out. Mr. Slmonson is an attorney who has been to a greater or less extent interested In the filing ot widow's claims and be main tains that under the decision ot the United States circuit court the widows have a perfect right to dispose of their claims un der the law which is now In force. He bases his claim upon a decision by Judge Sanborn in a case where the government opposed the Issuance ot a patent to a per son who had purchased a soldier's right to an additional filing, in which the Judge held that the right was one whtch could be alienated by the possessor. This decision did not touch upon the question ot the right of the aoldter to alienate his entire home stead right, but only to the additional amount of land he was entitled to enter In case his first entry, made prior to 1874, had not covered 160 acres ot land. Mr. Slmonson maintains that the widow, deriving her right from her husband, stands In exactly the position he would stand as regards the additional filing and that the rule which. Is applied to the add! tlonal claim must follow, In the case ot widows at least, to cases where the soldier had made no filing at all, and where the widow Is entitled to receive credit for the length of time her husband served in the army, to apply upon the ttms of residence upon the homestead. Will Brlas Teat Case. Mr. Slmonson haa been In Omaha for several days before the Vnlted States grand Jury, which Is said to be Investigating the alleged illegal filings on government land. Before be left tor home Friday ha told a number of friends that he Intended to purchase trom a aoldier's widow her as signment of the right to enter a quarter section ot land and to present that assign ment at the Alliance land office and de mand that It be honored In the location of land In that district. He said that he expected the officers to refuse his demand and that he would then bring action In the United States court to establish his right. Considerable Interest Is manifest among a large number ot people who are before the grand Jury In these land cases over the reports that Colonel John S. Mosby will be In Omaha next week. The people who have been engaged In the business of locating soldiers' widows on the publio do main say that all of their troubles can be laid at the door of Colonel Mosby and they can prove, admitting all of his charges to be true, that no offense against the laws has been committed, while many deny the truth of the charges brought against them. LOOKING TO NEW BUILDINGS Board ot Review Receives Report oa Recent Improvements on Real Estate. An Interesting feature ot the meeting of the Board of Review yesterday was the building inspector's report of new improve ments those which have been added since the assessment figures were made up. The aggregate amount ot these Improvements Is $200,000, the principal Item ot which Is the new residence ot George A. Josslyn, valued at 140,000. Another of the larger Items Is a new building which has been added to the Willow 8prtngs distillery and which Is listed at $20,000. Real estate companies occupied a con siderable proportion of the attention ot the board yesterday. Lists of property were submitted by several of the companies and the board spent some time In checking the lists with the assessment rolls. One of those who appeared before the board was John 8. Knox of the Arthur Realty com pany. J. M. Metcalfe, who has recently pur chased the Coots house tor $14,000, came before the board to protest against the assessment of that property at $19,000, but the board haa as yet taken no action upon this application. At noor. the board adjourned until Mon day morning at o'clock. Have Von Traveled On the Black Diamond Express? Have you enjoyed lis comforts and the beauties ot the scenery along Its route?

FARMER LOOKS INTO THE MUZZLE OF A GUN Afraid to Tell of the Robbery I'atft Bright Sonlla-ht Dispels Fears Contracted In Darkness ot Nlfht. C. Neely of Fremont waa held up In South Omaha Friday night and robbed ot $22 In cash, all the money he had on his person. Two men, the proverbial "tall and short' ones, did the Job, according to Neely'a story They did It after the most approved fash- Ion, evidently, and succeeded in getting away with their boodle and keeping the crime a secret until . yesterday, when Neely related his experience to Officer Maurice Fleming at the Union station. Neely told Mr. Fleming that he had been husking corn out at Fremont and had saved up $23 of bis hard-earned money. He ven tured into South Omaha after dark Friday night and about ( o'clock alighted trom a street car at Twenty-fourth and N streets, where he was accosted by a stranger, who asked him what he waa looking tor. "For a hotel," the rurallst replied. "Then come with me, I have a hotel where you can room and board for $2 a day. Some of these guys around here will charge you $4 a day," ths fellow said. Halt surprised, but grateful tor the stranger's generosity and without the least suspicion, Neely says he went with this goo J Samaritan. I'iatol In His Face. "We reached an alley," said Neely, "and he told me we would have to go down through there. We atarted, and there I was confronted by another man, who atuck a pistol in my face. By this time I had for gotten all about the hotel. The man who was going to show me the boarding house went through my pockets and took my money, while the other fellow held the gun In my taos. After they had stripped me they warned me not to say a word about It and threatened to kill me It I did." Neely was as good as his word, keeping the secret until yesterday, when the bright sunlight ot day dispelled his fears contracted In the darkness of night. For getting his solemn vow to keep the crime of his assailants a secret, Neely unbosomed himself of the whole story to Mr. Fleming, the officer at the Union statton.v Mr. Flam ing advised him to go directly to South Omaha and Inform the police ot his fate. Neely Bays he met a policeman Friday night two blocks from the place he was held up, but was too frightened by the threats of the men to kill him If he re vealed the crime to say anything to the officer. The first thing that struck him was how he could raise money e though to get bsck to his quiet home out at Fremont, away trom auch dangers as he had encoun tered. He had bought $10 worth ot Chris tlan Science books and these he pawned In Omaha yesterday morning for money to take him back home. DANDRl'FIT.WOVT WASH OCT. The Germ that Csssei It Has to Be Destroyed to Care Da a draff. Many a woman spends an hour twice a week scouring her scalp, thinking scrub bing off the scurf will cure the dandruff. Two hours a week, at the age of 40 years, she has spent 260 days of 12 hours each. or two-thirds ot a year ot her life. In that vain hope; vain, because you can't cure dandruff without killing the dandruff germ, and the only hair preparation on earth that will do that Is Newbro's "Herplclde" also a delightful hair dressing, and thor ough antiseptic against all contagion from use of others' hair brushes.
