Monday morning. . , ,
The direct examination of Frank Orr was
continued. The gist nf hlfl.dlrect examina
tion ttii thiit he had aold whisky to
Charles Raymond' and other Winnebago In
diana frequently In the bull pen In rear
of the salnorm of the defendant, Sherman
lnnls and VA I,itjkhart.N "These salea had
been made after the agreement with the de
fendants, and he received his commissions
from theo galea. He frequently saw
Alonzo 8haw, "Kcatherlcg," there engaged
In the same business. He had also fre
quently sold liquor to Peter Sampson, an
other Indian.
Orr waa subjected to a moot rigid cross
examination by W. S. Bummers, attorney
for the saloonlnts, but his testimony was
not shaken In tho slightest The ernes
examination drew out the fart that Frank
Orr's home waa near Rockford, In Oage
county. Neb., and that prior to his engag
ing In the business of a professional boot
legger he had worked on a farm for two of
his brothers near Homer, and just prior to
going to Homer he had worked for Jim
O'Connor, living one and a half miles from
Homer. He waa arrested on the morning
of September 22, 1904, for bootlegging and
pleaded guilty to the charge In November,
1904, and had been In the Douglas county
jail since, but had not been sentenced.
Jfo Promise of Clemency.
Up to this time he had not been ar
raigned for pleading for the Indictment
of conspiracy, nor had he ever been told
by any one that he would be let down
easy If he would become a government
witness In this conspiracy case. He never
told Deputy Marshal Sides or Charles Mea
ney In the county Jail that he waa In
formed that he wquld be let tff easy If he
pleaded gulllty to the charge of bootleg
ging and would testify against Lulkhart
and Knnls. Lulkhart, Ennls and others
had visited him in , the Douglas county
jail Thursday to talk with him relative
to his testimony In this case. He told
them that he could do nothing else but
swety to It, that Is regarding his contract
with them about selling liquor to the In
diana. Lulkhart said to him: "Why are
you going to do that?" Witness did not
tell them Thursday that Sides and others
promised him if he would swear
to - the . ., Lulkhart and Ennls
would get h 1 and go to prison. Nor did
he ever tell Lulkhart In the presence of
any one that there was no understanding
between him and Lulkhart and Ennls;
neither did he say that he had ever made
a statement that neither Lulkhart or Ennls
knew at-any time that witness waa selling
or giving liquor to Indiana.
Maklnar the Agreements.
Witness further testified that It waa Ennls
who 'made the .original proposition In
August, 1003, that witness should engage In

and be made subsequent agreement of like
nature with Lulkhart a day or two after.
The-' agreement with both was that they
. would furnish, the liquor; witness was to
sell It to the Indians and get the commis
sion, "And I got busy at once." Witness
did not get any liquor from Ennls after
Mav 1-10(14 in mil to Indiana He amt It
from another saloon. In which Lulkart was
tending bar, and the agreement was the
same aa before.
Borne time after this witness went to
Denver with Logan Lambert and one or
two others with a string of four horses.
The horses belonged to Harry Rasdell.
(Both Lambert and Rasdell are under a
like Indictment as saloonlets for conspiracy
In selling liquor to Indians. Witness did
not return to Homer after his return from
Denver until September 19, coming there
from South Dakota, and he then went Im
mediately Into the bootlegging business,
and was arrested on September 22.
In his redirect examination Orr stated
that he was served with a subpoena aa a
-witness In this case In the same manner
as other witnesses were served. He was
not promised any Immunity for testifying

There waa no recross-examlnatton.
Indiana Who Roaght I.lqaor.
The next witness waa Prosper Armell
(Ammell), a Winnebago Indian, who testi
fied that he had frequently bought liquor of
Orr. Orr identified Armell as one to whom
he had sold liquor, and Armell Identified
Orr aa the person from whom he had fre
quently bought liquor.
Mr. Summers, attorney for the defense,
objected to this witness testifying, on the
ground that he waa not named In the In
dictment and that he gave his name as
Ammell Instead of Armell. The objection
was overruled by the court.
Armell stated that he was a Winnebago
Indian and a member of that tribe. He
first met Orr In Lulkhart & Ennls' saloon
In Homer. He knew Orr was a profes
sional bootlegger and bought liquor from
him a number of times. Jle got the liquor
at the bull pen behind the saloon. He had
known Lulkhart three or four years. He
had a talk with Lulkhart at one time, once
or twice. Lulkhart handed him 11 at one
time and $1.25 at another and told the wit
ness to "help him."
Inside the Ballpen.
Continuing, he said: "I went to Orr and
got my whlfky from Frank Orr, paying him
the money I got from Lulkhart. I under
stood that the money was given me to help
Lulkhart out. I waa In the bull pen ten or
a dozen times. I went In there once with
Whitehead, who bought a can of beer from
Featherlegs and treated us all round.
Whitehead gave Featherlegs money, but he
got no change back. I have Been other In
diana, Yellowback and others In the bull
pen once In a while. Featherleg and Orr
were the only bootleggers I saw there."
This witness was not cross-examined.
Henry Hardin, a Winnebago Indian, waa
the next witness. He recognized Orr. Had
seen him back of the saloon. Orr had fre
quently got liquor for him. It was whisky,
a halt gallon, for which he paid Orr 1
Charley Raymond, anotlwr Indian, was
with him at the time he bought the whisky
from Orr. He bought whisky three times.
Charley Raymond was with him each time.
Onoe he got about a pint and paid Orr a
dollar for It. Orr got the liquor from Ennls'
saloon and gave It to him back of the sa
loon. Hardin wanted an Interpreter to talk for
him, aa he bore all the evidence ot having
had a good time during the past day or
two and he was very sleepy. He could talk
good enough English and the Interpreter
was denied him by the court.
In his cross-examination, which Involved
but one question, he stated that he had
bought liquor but three times of Orr, but
admitted that he did not keep much record
of Ume.
Adjourned to 2 p. m.
Indian Who Never Drinks.
The first witness called Monday afternoon
waa Hugh Hunter, a very Intelligent Win
nebago Indian, who speaks English flu
ently. His testimony was mainly to cor
roborate the tribal relations of several
of the Winnebago Indian witnesses, he
being a clerk at the Indian agency. He
testified that the several Indian witnesses
were members of the Winnebago tribe, and
that they were allotees of Indian lands,
and as such are under the supervision of
the present Indian agent, II. O. Wilson, ac
they had been under Charles T. Matthew
son, his predecessor. The witness also
knew Ennls and Lulkhart and had known
them for three or four years past. Prior
to their engaging in the saloon business
at Homer Ennls and Lulkhart were farmers
on the Winnebago reservation. Hunter
had been In the saloons of the defendants
three or four times, merely through cu
riosity. He did not drink himself, nor had
he ever bought or tasted1 liquor of any
kind. He only knew the different liquors
by their appearance and their effect upon
the Indians who used them. T . .
News About the Boll Pens.
He described the bull pens in rear of the
saloons, and the methods by which they
were reached from the back doors of the
saloons, and the side doors In the alleys.
He had seen many Indians In the bull pens
In various stages of Intoxication at dif
ferent Umes. He also saw them buy liquor
In bottles and jugs from the bootleggers,
Orr and Featherlegs. The liquor was pro
cured from the saloons. He also saw other
white men or boys get liquor for the
Indians at other Umes while they were In
the bull pens and aaw the Indiana' pay the
bootleggers for the liquor. He mentioned
several Indians of the Winnebago tribe who
bought liquor In the bull pens. When
asked If he could give the names of all
the Indians who got liquor at the bull
pens he replied: "If I was to menUon all
I have seen get liquor there I would have
to mention half of the Winnebago tribe of
Indiana" He specifically mentioned Joe
Johnson, Louis Qrayhalr, Prosper Armell,
James Yellowback, Henry Hardin, Henry
Decorah and others, all of whom he saw
buy liquor of Orr In the bull pens back of
the Ennls saloon.
In his cross-examination he stated that
he lived on the reservaUon nearly all his
life. He visited Homer frequently, some
times twice a 'week, and sometimes only
once a month. He never ' went Into the
bull pens for any other purpose than to
see what the Indiana were doing there.
He did not know what they drank, nor
had he ever bought any HqUor for himself
or others, because he did not use It: "I
never tried to use liquor and I never
want to."
Grayhair Bought Plenty.
Louis Grayhair, a Winnebago Indian, tes
tified through an Interpreted, John Pelky.
The defense also asked for an Interpreter,
and secured David St. Cyr for that pur
pose. Grayhair testified that he had bought
liquor from "Little Man." . whom the In
dians know as Frank Orr. He paid $1 a
quart for the liquor, and bought It in the
bull pens. "Little Man" got the whisky
out of the saloon and took the- money Into
the saloon. Wtlness never talked to Ennls,
because he could not understand him. This
witness was not cross-examined.
Henry Decorah also testified through the
Interpreter. He knew Orr and had bought
liquor of him In the bull pen.
Joe Johnson, another Winnebago, testified
In a similar strain. He had also bought
liquor of Featherlegs. He always paid Orr
the money for the liquor before he got it.
Witness and Featherlegs were not always
on the best of terms.
All Tell same Story.
The other witnesses of the afternoon were
Simon Payer, a former member of the tribe,
who had a very bad memory; Louis Lever
ing, an Omaha Indian; Blackbird Sheridan,
also an Omaha Indiun, each of whom testi
fied to having bought liquor of Orr and
Featherlegs In the bull pens and paying
the usual price of II per quart for it. Sheri
dan said: "I went into the back room of
the new Ennls saloon and saw some bar
rels of whisky there, and tasted them to
see which I liked bestbefore I bought."
George Rlchln, a Winnebago, testified
that he had also gone Into the back room
to tastorthe whisky and bought that which
he liked best.
The hearing was then adjourned until t
o'clock this morning.

Who Takes Occasion to
Call at the Booths.
AU things considered, the basaar being
given this week by the Sacred Heart Cath
ollc church In the parish hall. Twenty-
second and Blnney streets, was auspl
ciously opened last evening. The baiaar Is
for the benefit of the Sacred Heart church

chief feature of last evening's entertain
ment In connection with the fair was an
address by Rev. Edmund Hayes of Imogen,
la. Rev. Mr. Hayes was Introduced by D,
J. O'Brien, who prefaced the InUoduction
by a few felicitous remarks.
The parish hall has been tastily decor
ated for the occasion by pretty bunting
and flowers, the shades of which mingle
to advantage with the lights. Added to this
tho attractive booths presided over by win
nlng maids and matrons who act as money
changers, the visitor Is greeted with a pic
ture that Is at once pleasant to behold. And
be it said to the credit nf the aforemen
tloned maids and matrons they certainly
succeed in their purpose, that of separat
ing the visitors from their coin. That Is
what the bazaar Is for and that Is what
the people go for, and It Is then up to the
daintily gowned vendors of novelties and
sweetmeats to get busy. As there was a
preponderance of women folk In the audi
ence last evening It has been ordered that
every woman who attends hereafter with
out a male accompaniment will be fined.

gram has been arranged. Contests of dif
ferent kinds are also under way.
Truth In Rellarton.
Rev. Edmund Hayes gave a scholarly talk
last evening on "Truth in Religion." He
said:
The truth in religion la the greatest thing
that con engage the mind of man. It is
the antithesis of atheism and teaches the
knowledge of God and our relations to
Him. It la a natural Infallibility Inspired
by God. In the halcyon days of the past
it left us something worth living for. God
has given us a guide in these truths and
Christ as a teacher. Christ was a divinely
appointed teacher and taught well. He
taught what all men may understand, and
understand without doubts or misgivings,
There Is no occasion for disagreement
among men as to these great truths. We
must admit that God left us easy means to
arrive at the truth. Christ appointed the
aDostles to teach the world and establish
a permanent organization. He told the
apostles to go and teach unto all the na
tions nnd hHntlzn them In the name of
the Father, Son and Holy 'Ghost, saying He
would De witn tnem to tne ena or tne
world. It cannot be gainsaid that Christ
Intended His teachings to be perpetuated
by a perpetual body, of which Peter is
the head. There is but one body on earth
that claims to. teach the truth by divine
authority; there is but pne body of whose
tenets It can be said there is not the
least scintilla of doubt and which tenets
are as preclso as a mathematical prob
lem. That body is the Catholic church.
We show the true homage of heart and
Intellect; we teach all nations truths and
will finally stand triumphant amid the
ruins of, the world-
Rev. Mr. Hayes was frequently cheered
during his address.

Member MoCagae Criticises Action Taken
bj Treaaurer Henninga.
REDEMPTION OF BONDS UNDER QUESTION
Resnlntlo railing; for Statement of
All Transartlons Relative to In
vestment of Bond Redemption
Fnnd Adopted.
City Treasurer Henninga was criticised
by Chairman McCague of the finance com
mittee of the Board of Education last
night for haste In attempting to Invest
141.000 of the bond redemption fund In 5
per cent bonds Issued by the district ln
1SS8 and 1H92. Mr. McCague said that
Treasurer Hennlngs had acted without In
structions from the committee and In a
manner contrary to Its plans. It having
been deemed best to wait awhile before
making efforts to purchase the bonds
which were offered under the advertise
ment made by the treasurer, first at 1105,
the price then dropping gradually to
$104.45. The latter figure waa considered
too high, and with the others was re
jected. Jn his report to the board, Treas
urer Hennlngs said he had waited a "rea
sonable" length of time after Instruction
to make the transfer of tho money to the
bond redemption fund nnd, receiving no
further orders, had proceeded to try to
make the Investment, Inasmuch as tho
district was ,oslng about $4.75 a day by
not doing so. On these points Chairman
McCague did not agree.
Member McCague also Introduced a res
olution, which was adopted, calling for a
detailed statement of all bond redemption
fund Investments from the treasurer and
directing the secretary to hereafter keep
a record of the same, the Idea being, aa
was explained, to enable the finance com
mittee to keep a close check on the fund.
Chana-e in Janitors.
James Cathro resigned as Janitor of the
new Monmouth school, complaining that
the work of operating the heating and
ventilating plant was too much for one
man. Anderson Rogers was appointed In
his place. Thomas Hamlin quit as Janitor
pf the Saunders school and Nels Hansen
was selected to fill the place, effective
March 1. Cathro has already left his post
and Anderson has taken charge.
Mawhinney & Ryan were the successful
bidders for a two-year contract for wind
ing the tower clock at the high school,
the price being $50, which Includes clean
ing and repairing. Fred Brodergard was
awarded the contract for keeping the 500
small clocks in repair at 50 cents each
for the two years and for furnishing new
clocks at $3.65 each.
"It's a valuable clock In the high school,"
said Member Butts when Member Mc
Cague asked him whether It required spe
cial skill to wind the mechanism once a
week. "We don't want to have it dam
aged and It should be kept In good condi
tion and repair."
"It ought to be kept nearer standard
time than It has for the last two years,
that's a certainty," observed Member
Rice.
Superintendent Davidson and such super
visors and principals as may want to go
and can be spared were granted permission
to attend the meeting of the department
of superintendence of the National Educa
tional association in Milwaukee next week.
The request of three assistant Janitors
at the high school for an increase of pay
was refused.
Permission was given the educational
committee of the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution to use tne board s assem
bly rooms on the afternoon of April 19
for the bestowing of the annual medal
offered to .members of tho senior high
school class.
A request for the board to authorize the
signing of a petition for paving on North
