(From a Staff, Correspondent.)
, LINCOLN, June 6. (Special.) Governor
Mickey will leave tonight for Council
bluffs, where tomorrow night he will lec
ture In the Methodist church of that place
on "Christian Cltltenshlp." The lecture Is
to be delivered at the personal request of
the pastor of the church, who formerly
resided in Lincoln and who Is an old-time
friend of the governor. And that recalli
that the calls on the governor lately for
commencement speeches and such like have
been so numerous that the governor Is be
ginning to be sorry that he ever learneJ
the business, and were It not for the fact
that commencement la nearly over he
would doubtless cancel several engage
ments.
It Is the Intention of Governor Mickey,
anyhow, to call a halt and devote more of
his time to the governor's offlco. Not that
he hat neglected his business thus far, but
if things keep going In the speaking line
tike they have been, something will have
to be neglected, for the calls the governor
gets, were they all to be accepted, would
take all of his time.
The governor's intention to quit the lec
ture platform wars due to the fact that
several parties have told him lately that
they had been In to see him and that he
was off speaking. "I Intend to stop speak
Ing so much," he said this morning, ' for
I am beginning to see that If I keep It up
It will take too much of my time and will
cause me to neglect my business. I don't
want to do that, and, besides, I want to
be here when people come to see me."
Decrease la Insane at Hastings.
From December 1 to June 1 the number
of inmates of the Hastings Insane asylum
has decreased from 916 to 873, according
to the statement of the superintendent, V.
B. Kerns. During the six months forty
one patients have died, one escaped and
two were discharged as having regained
their minds. Only ten persons were ad
mitted during this time. Six more Inmates
are accounted for because their furloughs
had expired. To care for these people It
has cost the state 12,600 for officer's sal
aries, and for the force of attendants It
has cost $13,815. 30, or $15.49 for each Inmate
for the entire period.
Few Applications for Water.
During the last six months only twolva
- irrigation purposes. Nearly all of these
applications are for water in the White
' river In northwestern Nebraska. In nearly
: ail other portions of the state all the avail
able water has been appropriated. Secre
tary Dobson believes that most of the fu
ture Irrigation development will be along
the line of storage reservoirs to save the
flood waters. Mr. Dobson Is confident that
the Irrigable area can be greatly increased
. by the utilisation of these means of storage.
Bee Asks Rehearing.
E. W. Slmeral, attorney for The Bee
Publishing company had filed a brief In the
supreme court asking for a rehearing In the
matter of George W. Shields against The
Bee Publishing Company, In which Shields
was given Judgment by the supreme court
for 32,600 for damages alleged to have re
suited from 'the publication In The Bee of
an editorial regarding Shields.
In beginning his brief Mr. Slmeral said:
I "This is an action for libel Involving some
! of the most Important legal questions that
can be submitted to a judicial tribunal.
! vis: The tight of Uie press to discuss and
criticise the action of a publlo officer,' and
, upon the part of that officer his right to re
4 train from the performance of those duties
; Imposed on him by law. Tet the opinion
filed herein on April 30, 1903, does not de-
f termlne these Important questions in the
! light of the evidence adduced, or the legal
principles Involved and argued."
In commenting upon what he terms er
rora in the Instructions, Mr. Slmeral said
another fatal error in the instruction, vis:
"It assumes that a
portion of the article
charged
Shields
rlth malfeasance in
office."

reappointed fish commissioner and for the
Coext two years will have charge of the

PLEA OF SELF-DEFENSE IS RAISED
Defendant La Tonne Man of Good
Character Tragedy Arose Ont of
n Neighbor's aire 1 De
cerned Leaves Family.
O'NEILL, Neb., June .(Special.) No
case In the criminal annals of Holt county
has attracted as much attention or been
watched with as much interest, except per
haps the Barrett Scott case, which was
tried years ago, as the case wherein Ed
ward Slattery, a boy 18 years of age, la
being tried for his life for shooting and
killing H. M. Shaw on March last.
Tho case has been on trial since Monday.
At every sitting of the court the room haa
been packed with men and women and sev
eral times those who wished were unable
to gain admittance. Great lawyers are en
gaged on both sides of the case and every
step In being closely watched and con
tested. The state Is represented by County
Attorney A. F. Mullen and R. R. Dickson
of O'Neill and Hon. N. D. Jackson of
Ncllgh, and the defense by Congressman
M. P. Klnkald and M. F. Harrington of
O'Neill.
Many legal questions have been raised.
but the one which was presented at length
and without a Jury waa the question as to
whether or not. In a criminal case where
the defense Is self-defense, the defendant
can Introduce evidence showing specific
acts of lawlessness and violence on the
Dart of the deceased, which acts were
brought to the attention of the defendant.
The matter was srgucd for several hours,
but the court held that under the rulings
of the supreme court of Nebraska the only
matter pertaining to or touching on the
reputation of the deceased was as to his
reneral character and reputation, as to
whether or not he wss a peaceable and
law-abiding citizen. The counsel for the
defendant were somewhat disappointed
after this ruling, as they felt sure that
they would be permitted to show any spe
cific acts of violence or lawlessness on the
part of the deceased which were brought
to the attention of their client.
Testimony nt Varlnnee.
Dozens of witnesses tettlfied on both sides
and there Is quite a variance as to what
occurred Just before and at the time the
fatal shot was fired.
The defendant, Slattery, told a straight
forward story and was not at all shaken
by the very thorough and lengthy cross-
examination.
He testified In substance that
the.de-
ceased had frequently threatened to kill
him and that they had quarreled over a
line fence between his ranch and the de
ceased's ranch; that on the day of the
shooting the deceased was crossing his
meadow; that It waa wet and he waa cut
ting It up; that he asked him to go around
another road; that deceased, who waa driv
ing a load of hay, was accompanied by a
Mr. Thompson, who waa also driving a
load of hay; that he got oft of the hay
and commenced to call defendant all sorts
of names and said to Thompson, who wss
with him. "Let us go and kill the little
," and that both deceased and Thomp
son started for defendant; that defendant
had his gun by his aide and loaded; that
deceased came on a run toward him and
as he reached defendant he grabbed the
gun and In the scuffle the gun waa. accl-
dentally discharged and the load entored
., He-nt breast of decessed. from whloh
ne died. Thla was disputed by Thompson,
wno testified that deceased waa within
about four fit of defendant when he fired
the fatal shot.
Deceased Leaves Largo Family.
The deceased. H. W. Shaw, was about 41
years of age. He came to Holt county
about 1882 and located on the ranch he
owned at the time of his death. Just south
of O'Neill. He leaves a wife and five cell-
dren. the youngest being 13 years of age.
The defendant, Edward Slattery, la 18
years of age and single. He was at the
time of the tragedy living with hie broth-r
nn bis father's ranch, which Joins the
Shaw ranch. Both men are well and favor
ably known In O'Neill and Holt county and
belonged to highly respected families.
The arguments were very eloquent and
the counsel engaged In the case fully sus
tained their reputations. Judge Westovor
was commended for his Justice and fair
ness In all his rulings and In the Instruc
tions given In the case. The arguments
consumed ' nearly one whole day and on
more than one occasion the eloquent words
of the counsel brought tears to the eyes
of many present. Especially was this so
of the last words spoken by M. F. Har
rington In behalf of the defendant. At 8
o'clock the case was given to the Jury and
th fate of the defendant is now in the
hands of the twelve men who were se
lected to try the case.

Cablegram Special Telegram The two
burglars captured so mysteriously by Mrs.
George Keppel some days ago In her bed
room at midnight, confess that they were
completely captivated and enthralled by
her magnificent beauty as she entered the
room In evening dress and diamonds. She
spoke to them perfectly calmly, and when
they were finally secured she offered them
drinks, but they would only take appolln
arls water.
While a servant was hunting for the
police Mrs. Keppel was chatting amicably
with her prisoners, who had surrendered
all their booty, said to have been worth
nearly $250,000. It Is a subject of remark
that Mrs. Keppel's maid should not have
been waiting for her and that Mr. George
Keppel, who Is In London, does not seem to
figure as a member of the household at all.
