UNCLE SAM HOLDS LAMBERT
Government Retains Tlarht Grip on
llan Who la a Valnable
Witness.
The seal manifested by the friends of
Frank W. Lambert to secure his release
on bonds in the sum of $10,000 Is only
equaled by the determination of the gov
ernment that the bond must be a gllt
edged one. The reasons for this are that
LHmbert will lie needed by the govern
ment an its leading, witness In the Ilev.
Oorse Q. Ware tase. wherein he Is jointly
indicted with Ware and Welsh for con
spiracy in the matter of the procurement
, of illegal filings of lands by old soldiers
ajid others within, the U. B.- I. ranch en
closure. t . . . ,
It la evident Lambert hod sufficient as
surances that the bond would bo forth
coming and his securities . were at hand
to execute the bond, but nt the same time I
it was understood Iumbert would bo . In
definitely detained here under summons as
a witness against Ware and Ills confeder
ates. ' In view of this phase of the case,
aside from relatives and personal friends of
I Lambert, he hus been unable to secure a
uona completely satisructory to the gov
ernment. The situation Is simply this:
that the government does not propose to
lose Its hold on Imbert, as his evidence is
too essential to permit bin) to leave the
lurlsdlction of the court, ' especially- In
view of the Ware caso, fcnioV.it considered
the next most important to the Bartlott,
Richards and Coustoek cases. ', Iavmbert
knows too much for the government to
take any chances in losing sight of him,
and hence the frequent hltc,hr In the mat
ter of the 1-ambert bond.
COUNTY COURT IS OVERRULED
Jndave Vlnaonhaler Decision .' on
i Burkhart Wills Reversed by
aattoa.
'' ' i'. 'i
Judire Sutton has filed a decree overruling
a decision of the county court In the matter
of the: estate of Anton Burkhart, who died
March of this year.
Burkhart left two wills, one dated June
3, 1901, and one. dated January 1, 105. The
tlrst will gave $400 to be held In trust by
Mrs. Annie Wlrts for her daughter, Annie !
Anton Dora Wlrts. a godchild of testator.
There was a codicil to thia glvlt.g to the
widow, Mry Burkhart, all the remainder ,
of the property. The second will gave '
everything to the widow and made no men
tion of the Wlrts girl. !
In the county court' attorneys for Mrs.'
Wlrts and her daughter opposed the pro-.
bate of the second will on the ground that
it did not specifically revoke the former
Instrument. Judge Vlnsonhaler upheld the
first will and admitted It to probate, holding
that the second one was not properly exe
cuted In accordance with, the laws of Ne
braska. He also named Charles O. Lobeck
as executor of the will In place of Charles
W. 6avldge. who refused to serve.
This Is the decision which, Judge Button
has reversed. In his order Judge Button
finds the will dated June 3- Is not the lost
will and testament of Burkhart and that
it should have been refused probate. He
also finds the last will, dated January I,
IS, is executed In accordance .with the
laws of Nebraska and orders that It be
approved, allowed and admitted to probate
by the county court and be declared of full
force and effect.

Colored Courtesan.
Chris Teterson of Lincoln county. Minn.,
who spent all summer grading In Minnesota
and the fall grading in the northern part of
this state, came to the city Inst night with
$55 of his savings to spend the winter
months. He lost it all In a single night of
folly. Ho and his three companions were
taking In the town, and allowed themselves
to be decoyed by a clever negro thief. She
took them to the rooms of her friend, a
woman by the name of Nettle Miles, at
Twelfth and Davenport. While there she
robbed Peterson of his money. He felt her
taking It, but allowed himseir to be tricked.
When he accused her she denied hnvlng It
and this gave the Miles woman the cue.
Sho came in and ordered the visitor, who
was Kittle Tucker, to give up the money If
she had It, and went through the bluff of
accusing her. Tho Tucker woman mnde a
dash for the front door, but Peterson
stopped her. The woman then turned and
darted out the back door, which the Miles
woman was careful to have Unlocked. She,
In pretending to chase after the thief, really
kept In Peterson's way to give the other
woman a chance to get out.

ted though they were all sober! . This Is
their first visit to Omaha and they declare
that they have learned one lesson that they
will not forget In a hurry.
The police were unable to locate the cul
prit, last night and It Is thought she went
to Council Bluffs. She Is a consort of
"Can" Smith, a well known character of
that city.
