TITE OMATTA PA1LY llEEi TTlUnSPAY, JULY f). 1003. SEEK TO SAVE RHEA'S LIFE Lincoln Lawyer Will Apply for an Injunc tion t Prevent Hanging. GOVERNOR MICKEY MAKES STATEMENT t. Laala Hu Preaeata Claim for Deetraetloa at Him Laaeh tend r Soldiers from Nebraska. (From a. Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, July 8. (Special.) The sym pathizers of William Rhea, 'condemned to hank next Friday at the state peniten tiary In this city, have taken a new tack by which they express confidence In their ability to postpone and possibly perma nently block the execution. A Judicial In junction will be the method relied upon to balk the hangman's noose, action In this direction being taed on a technical con struction .of the law governing executions for murder and the granting of commuta tions by the' governor. : . ' Tomorrow T. 1. Doyle, a Lincoln attorney, is expected to go before the. supreme court with an application for an Injunction to re strain Warden Beemer of the penitentiary from executing the sentence of hanging. Mr. Doyle la an opponent of capital pun ishment, as are many other members of the Lancaster bar and with whom he has con sulted upon his Intended action. The chief contention which will be raised Is that the courts fixed Rhea's execution for April 25, 1002, but former Governor Sav age Interposed by granting a respite until July 10, 1903, in accordance with which It Is now proposed to march Rhea to the gallows and take his Ufa. This Mr. Doyle declares, la tantamount to giving the gov ernor the right to fix the date for an ex ecution for murder, an act nowhere vested In him by .the constitution or statutes, either implied or direct. The further point Is raised that such an act by the governor Is purely executive,-whereas the fixing of a date for a hanging Is purely a Judicial mat ter and should alone ba done by the courts. Mr. Doyle today declined to outline his plans In full, althoogk he admitted that the ippllcatlon for the Injunction wouiu aureijf roads to harvest hands, this concession having been granted to travelers from Lin coin the same as from Missouri river points. The labor bureau today received numer ous letters from farmers In western Ne braska, In which frantic appeals were made for laborers. The shortage In labor In the west Is described as a grave affair, which may curtail the successful hsrvestlng of the wheat crop unless early relief Is forth coming. Governor Refuses Extradition. Governor Mickey today refused to per mit the extradition of O. D. Wolf of Sew ard county, Nebraska, to Summit county, Utah, on the charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. The governor was convinced by Wolfs plea that the criminal prosecution was merely a cloak for the filing of a civil suit; besides which It was shown that the Utah statutes made the crime charged only a misdemeanor and the governor was not dl.iposed to honor a requisition which only charged a mis demeanor. Wolf has not been In the cus tody of the Utah county sheriff, at any time, that official failing to present satis factory proof of his authority. Wolf went to his home In Seward county today, while the Utah sheriff returned west empty handed. Passled War Department. Adjutant General Culver Is at a loss to understand a communication that has Just reached him from an attorney named 8. H. Ilerbeson of St. Louis, which reads as follows: I enclose you herewith an affidavit signed bv John Pecur m to the ants of lawless ness resulting In the loss of his stand and the stork therein contained, committed by the Twenty-second Nebraska regiment dur ing the dedication of the Worlds Fair, April 30. JSKU. The affidavit la self-explanatory and we hcpe that an amlrable adjust ment may be made, as the plaintiff Is a poor man and can 111 afford to stand this loss. I'lease let me hear from you at an early date as to the scHlon you will take In the matter, and oblige. A Mil formally made out against the Tv-enty-second Nebraska National Guard accompanies tha letter: Sandwiches f 10.00 tha lawns over town during the night time nd has made sway with hundreds of feet of tha rubber tubing which residents had left attached to the hydrants. No clue to tha taker can be found, but It la suspected that the work was done by soma Junk dealer, who will sell the haul ss old rubber. Wster Commissioner Simpson was one to suffer.

' Governor Mickey has Issued a public statement defining his reasons for refusing to Interfere with the ruling of tho courts Jn Rhea'a cae. Tha governor has been subjected to persistent pressure for aevaral weeks to commute Rhea'a sentence and his decision to let the law. take Us course has stirred up' some resentment against him In certain quarters. Ha states that the re fusal to heed Rhea'a plea has been the most unpleasant duty of his life, but he has tried to consider the case from a con scientious standpoint and to weigh it care fully and with full consideration of all the facta. Statement by Governor. In hla atatement the governor says: My attention has been called to several misleading statements that have been made concerning the Rhea case and while I l.a ve no disposition to argue the matter I think It proper to state that my conclusion was reached after painstaking and ""ton; Judgment -and conscience that he death 'ft would bi a great aaUsfacUon to save the llfef any human being under sentence of death; but I feel that my personal feelings In the matter should not move me to over turn the solemn Judgment of the trial court assisted by twelve impartial Juf0, ST., rv,-!..,rt- .mrmed.bv .the court of last resort, the" jMgtre'hf ' 6r Rfnrir.arlce wa ' . .Jk l. .. unanimous COUrt.

Farm Hands for West Nebraska The Ubor bureau today shipped a party f laborers to Holdrege;, where ' they will assist in harvesting the wheat crop of Phelps County. Bight men made up the party, and everyone was a husky spec! men of manhood, who wanted work and wa not afraid to travel too miles to get it. By reason of the Intercession of the labor bureau the men. were able to secure tha half . fare rates offered by tha rail 3.00 1.00 2.00 B.oo 6.00 15.00 S.00 1.00 1.00 150 60 1.00 1.W1 16.00 6.00 60.00 did not show up for trial today and Ketchum was tried alone. The court room was packed and much trouble was experi enced In keeping the spectators quiet. Many threats were heard and had not cooler heads been present there would probably have been a riot, as feeling was very strong. Sympathy was all with the young woman, who told how terribly she had been used. She was In love with Snodgrass and an elopment was planned for tha night of June 27. Snodgrass took her out In a buggy, picked up young Ketchum and after administering some drug they proceeded with her to a vacant house, where they ac complished their purpose. The trial lasted all day. County Judge Wilson bound Ketchum over to the district court under $1,500 bond, and not being able to furnish It Ketchum was taken to the Omaha Jail. Every step possible Is being taken to catch Snodgrass. A reward ot $50 has been offered and will probably ba raised without limit, as the girl's parents are determined to push tha case to the bitter end.

The adjutant general replied by endors ing on the bill information to the effect that there la no such regiment as the Twen ty-second regiment, NeDraska National Guard, and that Nebraska had no troops at St. Louis at that time, tha state being eprcsented by the state officers and tha governor's staff. "Should the claimant be able to prove." wrote the adjutant general, "that the gov ernor's staff made the raid on his peanut stand at the time of the dedication services. uien proper steps will be taken to have the articles returned or payment made for the articles so lost or destroyed" and proper remuneration ror hla harassed feelings and lack of confidence In tntj state, of Ne braska."
