M'GILTON ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY lodge Jmm aad eaatr hrMo to Havo Coilrrrnr at Which It Will Be Derided Which Is to Be Candidate. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. March 10. (Special.) State Treasurer Peter Mortensen will Issue a statement to the public the tint of the week announcing his withdrawal from the J race for the republican nomination for governor. The attorneys employed by Mr. Mortensen filed an opinion with him yes terday that It was impossible for him to Itet before the court with a cult to teat his eligibility to hold the office of governor. Thla determined Mr. Mortensen to with 1 draw from the race, and after a consulta tion with friend to be held Monday or Tuesday he will mnke formal announce ' ment of his Intentions. In the meantime letter have been sent out by Lieutenant Governor McUllton an nouncing his candidacy for the place. Some lawyers "tv,n here seem to think the sec- 1 Hon of the constitution which prohibits Mr. Mortensen from being eligible to be governor does not apply to Mr. MeGllton,-( while others think both are Ineligible. A meeting will be held here the first of v the week, at which time It likely will be decided whether Judge Paul Jesscn or Senator Oeorge Sheldon will enter the race. It Is understood should one of these desire to be a. candidate the other will not enter. The announcement of C. B. Dempster of Doa trice Is also expected to be forthcoming In the near future. The only avowed can didates at thla time are John Wall, Speaker Rouse and Lieutenant Oovernor McOtlton. Attaraar Wants m Rehearing:. Attorneys for W. L. Newby, whom the district court of Saline county disbarred from practicing because It was alleged . Newby had forged a deed In a legal con troversy, are In the supreme court, to have the matter reversed and the charges quashed. Attorneys for Newby assert the district court had no right to disbar Newby from practicing In all the courts of the state, but that they have a remedy In criminal proceedings If they desire to prose cute the attorney. Y'aa Darn Case Appealed. Attorney General Norris Brown this morning filed In the supreme court a brief in the case wherein the Van Dorn Iron Works Is seeking to compel Auditor Scarle to Issue him a warrant for $3,328, alleged to be due on a contract to construct steel cells at the state penitentiary. Tne legis lature appropriated JSO.OCO for the construc tion of the cells. When all had been com - pie ted with the exception of connecting six of them with the sewers, the Board of Public Lands and Buildings accepted the Job and ordered the warrant drawn. The contract called for the connections with the sewer and therefore the auditor re fused to allow the bill until the contract was compiled with. In the lower court the contractors won out and the State ap pealed the cases. Hetaera to Take Charge. Rev. Mr. Helner and Mrs. Helner, who founded the Tabltha Home eighteen years ago and who managed It until last No vember, when a self-appointed reform com mittee ousted them and took charge of the affairs of the home, are shortly again to come Into their own. After four months experience in managing the home the com mittee has come ' to the conclusion that Ita members have not the ability to carry the load under which Mr. and Mrs. Helner struggled for eighteen years and one by one they' are getting from under. Miss Sarah Harris, who was a member of the committee which tried to create pub llo sentiment against Mr. and Mrs. Helner, resigned yesterday, as did Prof. Candy of the State university. Dr. Bailey, who has been considered a friend of the Helner. also resigned. Attorney Lamb, on behalf of Rev. Mr. Helner and other cred itors of the home, has undertaken the matter of selecting a new board to manage the Institution and already Mr. Helner has been sent out on the road to collect money for Its maintenance.

Hase rays Thomas Shelbley f Ponrs pamoates. - NORFOLK. Neb., March 10. (Special.) W. N. Huso, editor of the Norfolk Dally News, has settled out of rourt the libel stilt for IH.noo filed against him by Thomas Shelbley of Ponca as the result of an ar ticle which appeared In the News on the eve of the first election of J. J. McCarthy to congress In the Third district. The set tlement was made In Sioux City this week, and was announced in the editorial col limns of the News this afternoon. Accord ing to the terms of settlement, Mr. Huse pays the costs of the trial In both district and supreme courts and pays a stipulated sum besides. In the same editorial which announces that the libel suit has been dismissed by Mr. Slielbley a keynote Is sounded which shows that there will be a bitter battle put up against Mr. McCarthy next sum mer fop renomlnation to his congressional office, for which he has announced himself as a candidate. Mr. Huse, In his open let ter, gives warning of a vigorous campalgn whlch will be waged against Mr. McCar thy by the News, now that It has shaken off Its lawsuit, and It Is known that the leading republicans of Norfolk are In sym pathy with this announcement, and will also Join In the battle. The libel suit Is one of a number which grw out of articles printed by republican papers In the district on the Saturday be fore the Tuesday of McCarthy's first elec tion. When these articles were sent to the Norfolk editor by Mr. McCarthy's cen tral committee, the announcement today slates, the Norfolk editor seriously ques tioned the propriety of printing them and protested againBt publishing them. "Assured by the chairman of McCarthy's committee that the articles were true, and accused of dlBloyalty In case they were not published," says the editorial, "there was nothing left to do. according to local poli ticians, who brought pressure to bear, but print in Order to save McCarthy." The personal treatment of Mr. Huse by Mr. McCarthy after the News had been sued for libel on account of Mr. McCarthy Is taken up In the editorial at some length to show why the editor does not believe that Mr. McCarthy is the man to be re elected from this district. The article says that after the libel suit was filed Mr. Mc Carthy never called at the News office to discuss the matter, never uttered one word In regard to the case of the defendant, made It a point to dodge from a conver sation, and, further, when it was sug gested to him that he ought. In fairness to the newspaper, to stand a portion of the expense of trial, It is said In the ar ticle that Mr. McCarthy Is quoted as hav ing declared: "I do not propose to stand responsible for the vaporlngs of every damned fcol newspaper man in the state." He did, however, on the eve of his second election. Issue a check for 2no to pay a portion of the expenses Incurred. The editorial closes with this paragraph: It Is to be hoped that the republicans of the district will this year place a candi date In nomination who will not need such defense that his supporters will become Involved In libel suits as a penalty for help ing him, and then be met with cold-blooded Ingratitude and told that he Is a "damned fool." I am even willing to admit that I was that kind of a fool for supporting McCarthy, but I hope never to be guilty of a like transgression again. Dr. Gaady Is Foand Galltr. AUBURN, Neb., March 10.

FATE OF A MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH Recognises Men Who Came to Lynch Him and Is Killed and Horses Takea front Range. SIOUX FALLS, S. D.. March 10.-l8pe-cial.) The authorities of Butte county, sit uated In the extreme northwestern portion of South Dakota, after persistent efforts, have thus far been baffled in their at tempts to solve a mystery of the range. Butte county is in the great cattle range section of the state and is occupied largely by the herds of cattlemen.. The mystery which the au.norltiea are endeavoring to solve is as to who was responsible for the death of Hy Young, an Englishman with high connections in England, whose re mains were found near the ranch estab lished by him in Butte county. Young severs years ago arrived In Butte county with a small herd of horses, which he ranged along Grand river and In the "breaks" back from that stream. As a motive for his assassination It is said that he became possessed of information which would case trouble to parties in that region If divulged to the authorities. It has been learned that shortly before the disappearance of Young from the neigh borhood some of these parties formed a posse with the Intention of proceeding to Young's home and killing him. They en deavored to work up sentiment against him, claiming he was a menace to the community. The Englishman had in the meantime heard of the proposed visit, and, gathering a party of friends, awaited the coming, of the lynching party. Some of the posse, after reaching a point about 200 yards from Toung's cabin, refused to proceed any farther and the posse stopped for a parley. The men in the cabin with Young could see them and wanted to open fire upop them, but were restrained by Young, who, having nothing to fear from the law, did not wish to kill anyone unnecessarily. Merry Costa Life. His mercy cost him his life some days later. After the danger of the lynchlmr had passed Young visited Healey, the post office of that vicinity, and in conversa tion with a storekeeper there told him o' the affair, saying that he. had Identified the members of the posse. Young In formed the storekeeper that his (Young's! life was In danger and that his Intention was to gather up his horses and leave tho country. He stated he would start the work of rounding up his horses In a few days. The following day Young commenced this work and was seen by one or two people who knew htm while he was thus engaged. From that time until his skeleton was found half burled in the noil at the foot of a felled pine tree In a lonely place near Grand river not the slightest trace of him could be found. His stock disappeared from the range and not a hair or hide nf the horses have since been seen. The crime would never have been re vealed had not coyotes been drawn to the spot. These scourges of the plaint had partially uncovered the skeleton, thus as sisting Justice In the effort to avenge what was one of the most cold-blooded murders In the history of South Dakota.
