LINCOLN, March lO.-(SpeclaX) The
Pawnee City military band may play an
engagement .at the Portland exposition.
For several days the promoter! of the
exposition have been In communication
with the ban to aecure ite services. It
Is very probable an agreement will be
reached, because United States Senator
Pulton of Oregon, a former Pawnee boy,
is very much interested In the movement,
find hie brother, K. L. Kulton, haa been
for many years director of the band. Con
gressman Cushman of Washington, who
la an active worker in the exposition af
fairs, la also a former Nebraskan, and Is
said to be anxious that the big musical
organisation be securec' for a port of the
period at least.
The Pawnee band la a moat unusual
organisation. It waa organised in 1878. and
some of the organizers ure still active
members, from 1884 to the present time
it has maintained the position as the larg
est in the west, and in a musical way it
haa made a wide reputation In Its handling
of the best standard compositions. It has
often been heard in concert work in Lin
coln and Omaha and other parts of the
state.
In another feature the organization is
unique. It Is a fraternal society in every
sense of the term, neither member nor
director drawing pay for their services.
The Welfare and conduct of the members
are looked after, both in the band work
and in publlo and private life features
which Pawnee people claim has made the
band so successful and united during Its
quarter of a century of existence. It
maintains a membership of flfty, which Is
extraordinary for a town of less than
2,600 people.

DEI, T1TTE It I.UTO . IS NOT GUILTY
Oa Second Trial Man Accused of
Cattle Stealing; la Acquitted.
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., March 10.-(Spe-cml.)
At 3 p. m. the Jury, which went out
this morning In the Tltterlngton case, ren
dered a verdict of "not guilty." This is the
t cond time that Del Tltterlngton has been
trid on this charge, the first Jury dls
GKieelng, the vote standing alz for con
viction and six for. acquittal. The defense
smight to prove an alibi, and the defendant
rwore that he was at another place than
the scene of the cattle stealing, and an
other witness corroborated him. The only
evidence in the case which connected the
defendant, Delmar Tltterlngton, with the
crime, was the testimony of Lee Case, who
who was Jointly charged with Tltterlngton.
Case entered the plea 'of guilty and turned
state s evidence and testified that Tltter
lngton assisted him in , the commission of
the felony. But on crossexumlnatiin no..
gave way to his bitter feeling toward Tlt
terlngton, and hla evidence was of little
weight because of the confusion caused by
viuna-caniiUttUUU, vHSO gelling a ICW
of the Important matters mixed.
The verdict meets with the approval of
.all the unbiased citlsens who were in at
tendance at the trial. But the cattlemen,
who are the backbone of tke various prose
cutions carried on against the defendant,
a sorely disappointed. .There have been
about a half dozen' felony charges filed
against Del Tltterlngton by various owners
of cattle, and this was his third trial.
Whether the remaining chargea against
Tltterlngton will be tried is not known, but
the determination seems to be that they be
forced on.
The verdict of guilty rendered a few days
ago by the Jury in the case charging the
same defendant, Tltterlngton, with con
version as bailee, will be contested by the
defendant's attorneys in a motion for a
new trial, and if that is denied the case will
be carried to the supreme court
could be stopped. One side of the cab was
badly shattered, while the casing of the
steam chest was knocked off, causing the
steam to escape. The switch engine from
this city brought the crippled engine to
the local shops.
HtXTERS HAVE HARROW ESCAPE
Ahont Exhaaated from Hiaxri and
Eisoiire When Rescued.
FREMONT, Neb., March 10. (Special.)
Roy Cook of this city and his brother, C.
Cook of Arlington, had a narrow escape
from drowning in the Platte Sunday night
and Monday. They were out hunting on
the river near Mercer and about dark Sun
day evening started from an island for the
north bank In a canvass boat The river
was running bank full and a stiff wind was
blowing. After going a short distance
the boat sprung a leak and sank In about
three feet of water. By swimming and
wading they succeeded in the darkness In
reaching a shallow place only a few yards
square, wherti there was only about eight
een Inches of water, though at times It
flowed over much deeper. Here they spent
the night The younger brother suffered
severely and much of the time Roy was
obliged to hold him up or he would have
fallen Into the water and drowned. Mon
day morning they made their way to a
larger Island, which was not overflowed
though only a few Inches above the water.
Fortunately., they had one gun and some
shells, which they fired oft at Intervals
during the day, but without bringing any
one to their assistance. Monday night was
spent on this Island and Tuesday morn
Ing found the younger brother nearly ex
hausted from cramps and cold and ex
posure.. They renewed their efforts to at
tract attention, waving a handkerchief tied
to the end of the gun barrel, and about
noon were overjoyed to see a man In a
small boat heading toward them from the
north shore. It waa E. Nelson, a farmer
living near Mercer, who had heard the
shots and saw their distress signal from
the bank, and they were taken off In safety,
Their situation Sunday night was especially
dangerous, the sandbar being only a few
yards In extent and surrounded by deep
water. During the .greater part of this
night Roy stood on the bar holding up his
brother, who was unable to stand on ac
count of cramps and exhaustion from his
struggle In the Ice cold water and at times
they felt that their chances of rescue were
small. Their greatest danger was that the
current would wash the bar away during
the night.

was afterward released and sent home.
His brother lodged the complaint against
him before the commission at this time.
Bad feeling has long existed among the
members of the Teske family, which cul
minated in several lawsuits that have
dragged through the courts a number of
years. The man's mind seems to have
been unbalanced by brooding over these
matters. The case was a very complicated
one on that account as the man Is pos
sessed of considerable property. His men

submitted was overwhelming proof that he

Tne farmer, for instance, Is not the enemy,

In the railroad the strong arms that hold
him and his interests close to the throbbing

Danger la the Situation.
Nor Is the agitation new. It was not new
eighteen years ago when the interstate
commerce bill was passed. What Is new
In the present agitation Is that at Its head
Is the president of the United States. What
Is new In the present agitation Is that the
Denote of the United States, regardless of
their Interest individually as shippers, have
come to look upon the subject as a na
tional concern. And what Is new In the
firesent agitation, and full of danger, too,
that from Its being a question of the
firoper relation of the railroads to the pub
ic, on business and political principles. It
may become a movement under cover of
which the social and political revolutionists
will push forward their assault upon the
present order of American Institutions. AI-,
ready they are climbing over the wheels
Into our conservative president's wagon,
determined to ride Just as far as he Is com
pelled to carry them on his way to a Just
solution of this problem. Already they are
claiming this whole movement as their
movement. Herein lies the embarrassment
and the peril of the president. Right here,
too, rises that grim menace that no friend
of the Institution of private property any
where can afford longer to Ignore.
The blg-bralned railroad man haa. it
seems to me, his hour of opportunity now.
Let him insist that there shall be no con
fiscation of his property, or no arrange

losg run, will amount to confiscation. Be
hind him, on such an Issue, the country will
be found to stand. But let him recognize
also that In the nation there resides the re
serve power of supervision and control, a
power that the nation must exercise In the
Interest of equal citizenship; and let him
join our president In establishing a tribunal
through whom the nation's power can be
honestly, but at all times promptly and
adequately, exercised. That will bring
peace, with Justice. No other peace would

UNIFORM BILL OF LADING
Agents of Railroads and Shippers
Drafting Form that Will Be Sat
isfactory to Both Sides.
NEW YORK, March 10. Au important
conference has been held l."re Lefore the
Trunk' Line association and icrt'erttatlvea
of the Shippers' association of Chicago as
well as of similar organizations In New
York. The conference was over a proposed
uniform bill of lading for use of shippers,
and the railroad of the Trunk Line asso
ciation. Soms months ago the Trunk Line asso
ciation decided on a uniform bill of lading,
but It met opposition from the shippers,
who took the matter before the Interstate
Commerce commission. It waa decided
that Chairman Firth of the Trunk Line as
sociation should name five representatives
of the roads and the Chicago organiza
tions should name five representatives of
the shippers and that the ten thus desig
nated shall get together as a committee to
draft some satisfactory uniform bill of
lading. The main point of difference is
over the clause in the present form of
bill ot lading which exempts the roads
from responsibility for goods destroyed by
fire or otherwise In transit excepting where
it can be shown that the damage was
