LINCOLN. April 11. I8peclal.)-Judge
Silas A. Holcomb has formed a partner
ahlp with Lester E. Kirkpatrlck of Seattle.
Wash., for the practice of taw and will
not return to Lincoln to make hla home aa
long at hla health continue to Improve In
the western city. The announcement that
the partnership had been formed was re
ceived In Lincoln this morning and to some
of hla frlenda Judge Holcomb has written
he will try the far weat for a time In the
hope his health will be fully regained.
Lester E. Kirkpatrlck is a brother of
former Supreme Court Commissioner Kirk
patrlck of this city and haa been practi
cing In Seattle for a number of years with
John C. Trice as a partner. The latter
left the firm to become the president of
the Northern Securities and Bankers com
pany. Judge Holeomb's decision to reside in
Seattle will cut some Ice In democratic
politics, aa It is known a number of his
friends had settled upon him as the dem
ocratic gubernatorial nominee.
Insurance) Investigators Busy.
Representatives Potter and Beedle, mem
bers of the Insurance Investigating com
mittee appointed by the Wisconsin legisla
ture, were in Lincoln today looking up
the securities and the property belonging
to the Northwestern Mutual Life Insur
ance company of Wisconsin. They returned
to Milwaukee tonight and tomorrow the
committee will begin to hold meetings.
This committee was appointed to Investi
gate the AVIaconsin insurance companies
and will work along the llnea of the Arm
strong Investigating committee and haa se
cured an able attorney and actuary to
assist. . According to the representatives
here the Investigation will be much more
In detail than the New York Investigation,
as the people of Wisconsin are anxious to
know all the Inside workings of the Insur
ance business. The Northwestern owns
considerable property In Lincoln.
Veterinary Examinations.
The board of secretaries of the state
veterinary board la holding Its regular ex
amlnations today, with thirty-two young
and old men participating. This examina
tion is held under the law enacted by the
late legislature, which provides that no
one In the state shall practice veterinary
medicine tinder the title of a veterinarian
without first having secured a license from
the state board. Considerable opposition
has been aroused among the old time prac
titioners, who say they will be unable to
pass the examination because of the tech
nical questions asked, though they have
been practicing for twenty years or mora
and know ail about the Inside and tba out
side workings of a horse.
A. P, Barnea of Plattsmouth, who has
been practicing for twenty years, called
upon the governor today and protested
against the enforcement of the law, which
he said was passed merely to drive the old
fellows out of the business and make way
for the younger men who have yet to build
up a practice. Dr. Barnes was advised to
take the examination and did so. It be
ing the belief that the old timers will have
no trouble In passing. .
Dr. Petera of the state university, a mem
ber of the Board of Secretaries, said the
law was passed to catch the fellows from
other states who jump Into Nebraska and
do a lot of business because of sensational
advertising and who have no license to
practice here. The old timers, he said,
can go right ahead and practice, pro
vided they do not call themselvea veteri
narians and many of them are doing that
rather than take the examinations.
Street Hallway Fight On.
The Cltisens Street Ktallway company laid
ita first rails this morning at 7 o'clock at
Nineteenth and N streets, across which
the old traction company will have to build
It It makea its line to the new park. This
Is the beginning of the fight between the
old traction company and an organization
composed strictly of Lincoln business men,
who organised after the traction company
refused to pay its taxes and enjoined their
collection In the courts. Manager Cox,
formerly with the old company, has been
engaged by the home company and said
today cars would be running on the new
line by July.

siding. Both Walker and his victim were
members of the Omaha tribe of Indians
and the killing, which occurred on the
night of December II, 1905, was the out
come of one of the many drunken brawls
which have occurred on the reservation
as a result of the sale of liquor to the
Indians.
On the night of the killing Nathan Lyon

Another fight ensued In the house, In which
Lyon was again worsted and this was re

Walker used a stick of wood to enforce
his argument, and It Is from blows from
this that Lyon Is supposed to have died.
Walker loaded Lyon Into the wagon and

the road next morning.
The defense will plead self defense and
also that Lyon died from exposure rather

History of Crime.
The murder of Flury oocarr'.-d about 12:31
o'clock on the morning ' f March 8 at the
end of the Albright street car line. Flury
had Just gotten off the car and had thrown
the switch for the car to run back on the
Y preparatory to the return trip. He was
standing In the track when lio was ordered
by Cal Wain, one of ClaiK's accomplices,
to throw up his handd. Instead of doing
so he pulled his gun and Toed at Wain.
Wain returned the fire and Clark, who was
hiding behind an electric pole ten feet away.
alao shot. Wain ran back and hid behind a
billboard about fifteen feet from the track.
and from their vantage points Clark and
Wain kept up a continuous fire until their
guns were emptied. Flury stood his ground
and after the two men had run away sig

went Into the car and exhibited a wound

Causes Great Indignation.
The murder aroused great Indignation,
and on the night of Flury's death a mob at
tempted to get hold of the prisoners and
hang them, but they were spirited away
by Sheriff McDonald and kept in hiding
until the feeling died down.
The arrest of the three men Is considered
a very clever piece of work on the part
of the South Omaha police officials. The
first evidence was given the officers by
Mrs. Nettie Jones, to whom Clark gave
his share of the money obtained In the sa
loon holdups. Clark's arrest followed and
afterward Clarence Gathrlght and Cal
Wain were taken Into custody. Gradually
the chain of evidence tightened around
them and a confession by Gathrlght cinched
the case.
Gathright and Wain are both awaiting
trial. Clark Is considered the shrewd one
of the three and is held to have been the
leader.
The trial was begun Monday morning
and the Jury secured at noon Tuesday. The
state took until yesterday noon for its evi
dence and the defense Introduced but one
witness. The defense practically admitted
Clark's participation In the holdup, but de
nied he was the leader and devoted their
energy to preventing a death penalty.
Clark Admissions Go In.
Admissions by Harrison Clark that be
was the leader of the gang that tried to
hold up Conductor Edward Flury were ad
mitted as evidence against Clark Wednes
day morning in the murder trial before
Judge Sutton. The admission was made
to County Attorney Blabaugh about March
21, In the office of the county Jail in the
presence of several witnesses.
Deputy Sheriff Haze told of the statement
made by Clark. County Attorney Blabaugh
had gone to the Jail In response to a letter
from Clark. Before saying anything Clark
wanted a promise of leniency but Judge
Slabaugh said he could make no promise.
Clark then said Gathrlght's statement was
correct until they readied Thirteenth and
It streets, but beyond that point it was
not right.
"1 was the leader of the gang. I broke
the telephone wires," Clark said. The
rest of the story told by Clark did not
differ materially from Gathrlght's state
ment until the scene of the shooting was
reached. He said the street car conductor
was not throwing the switch, but was
standing back of the car when the shooting
occurred.
Refased to Smy 'Mho shot Flora-.
Cuptaln Haxe said County Attorney Bla
baugh asked who shot Flury, but Clark
declined to say at that lime. He also re
fused to say who had the large blue Colt
revolver. He admitted he had dropped his
hut during the shooting. John McMillan,
who was present at the Interview, also
testified as to the statement.
Edward D. Newvllle, who was an eye
witness of the battle from his porch, said
he was aroused some time after 12 o'clork
by shooting. He rushed out on the porch
and saw four men shooting, three of them
at the street car and one of them stand
ing on the reur platform of the car shoot
ing at the other three. He was positive
in bu statement he saw tbe flash of four
guns. His evidence on this point contra
dicted that of Gathrlght, who said he did
not shoot, his gun being out of order.
Newvllle's statement of where the men
stood corresponded in general with Gath

the men run up Harrison street and turn

Wants to Oaeatlon Witness.
"Your honor," he said, "may I ask the
witness a question?"
Judge Sutton told him to communicate
his question to his attorneys and let them
ask it. Clark consulted with his lawyers
a moment, but they did not ask the ques
tion. Dr. W. J. McCrann testified as to the
bringing of Flury to his house after the
shooting, and George Shepherd and wife
said Gathrlght came to their house at llu6
South Fifteenth street about 2 o'clock the
morning of the shooting and asked to stay
all night. He said the South Omaha offi
cers were after him. David McCourt, who
lives near the Albright switch, heard the
shooting and went to the door. He saw
two men, one walking east and one run
ning west, to meet him. He did not know
there had been a holdup until the next
morning.
Henry King, whose saloon was held up
by the men. testified he thought the large
Colt's gun was In possession of the man
with the blue mask. Gathrlght testified he
had the blue mask on and one of the
other guns, while Clark had the Colt's gun.
JUack Mask and Large Colt's.
Lee Burket, who was In the saloon at
the time, said the large Colt's gun waa In
the hand of a man with a black mask.
Julius Grimm, whose saloon was the second
one held up, identified the S2-callber gun
as one taken from his saloon, which Gath
rlght asserted Clark gave him. He said
the Colt's revolver was held by a man
with a black masfc on and this assertion
was corroborated by one or two other
witnesses who were in the saloon at the
time. J. H. Walton, a colored man, testi
fied to seeing Mrs. Cal Wain making the
three hoods worn by the men.
Officer Ballew of the South Omaha force
told of finding the money given by Clark
to Mrs. Nettle Jones about 1:30 o'clock the
morning of the shooting. Mrs. Jones
showed him where It was burled In the
coal house under about six Inches of dirt.
He also found the 22-callber gun In a
dresser at the place where Clark roomed.
It was wrapped up In a lot of old rags.
This was the gun Gathrlght said Clark
took away from him after the shooting.
Police Officers on tho Stand.
The finding of the Colt's revolver and
one of the guns stolen from a saloon un
der the floor of Wain's house was told by
Captain Shields and Chief Briggs. While
Detective Elsfelder was on the stand he
tested the gun Gathrlght claimed to have
had and which lie said would not work.
Mr. Elsfelder pulled the trigger several
times, but the gun would not snap.
The only witness for the defense was
Mrs. Cal Wain, who testified she had made
the hoods worn by the men. She said she
made them at the request ot the defendant
and gave them to him on the night ot the
murder. Gathrlght, she said, had a blue
mask and the other two black ones.
Contrary to expectations, Clark did not
go on the stand In his own behalf and at
2:30 o'clock all the evidence was In and
the arguments to the Jury were begun.
During a part ot the morning session
Clark entertained himself by reading about
tho death of Flury and the attempted
lynching of himself and companions In a
South Omaha paper.
