(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 5.-(Speclal.)-The su
preme court this afternoon overruled the
motion of Attorney J. W. Courtrlght, rep.
resenting the Nye-Schnelder-Fowler Grain
company, to remand the grain case to
Referee Pemberton with Instructions to
take more testlmor.y. The court then set
tomorrow morning to listen to the argu
ments of the attorney general on his ex
ceptions to the report of the referee and
gave the defendants until Thursday noon
to file briefs In support of their objections
to the findings of the referee.
Attorney Courtrlght argued there was no
evidence to sustain the finding of the ref
eree and further that the referee had
taken as an evidence of guilt the fact that
the defendants had not gone on the stand
to refute the testimony Introduced by the
attorney general. After the attorneys had
consulted over the testimony Mr. Court
right said they had come to the conclu
sion the evidence Introduced was so flimsy
It was not necessary for the defendants to
Introduce any evidence at nil. He argued
It was within the Jurisdiction of the court
to order the taking of more testimony
and he believed Justice could be secured
by all parties' Jn no better way. The fact
that the lawyers for the defendants looked
at the evidence In such a different light
from the way In which the referee viewed
It, he thought, should not 'Stand In the
way of the defendants getting Justice.
Attorney General Brown argued against
reopening the case. The defendants, he
said, had ample opportunity to Introduce
testimony, but had failed to do so, and the
report of the referee should stand as the
verdict of a Jury and there was no occa
sion for the court to open the case.
Chief Justice Sedgwick, speaking for the
court,' overruled the. motion of the de
fendants and said even though the court
had authority to order the taking of more
testimony the facts produced by the de
fendants would not warrant such action.
Judge Sedgwick then announced that the
court desired to finish up the case at this
session, as there will be only one session
previous to the summer adjournment, and
so the time limit on filing objections by
the defendants was set for Thursday
noon, while the attorney general will make
his arguments tomorrow morning.
Miller Wants New Trial.
August II. Miller, sentenced to fifteen
years In the penitentiary for shooting his

pelled the proper officers to make returns

LESHARA IS FORMALLY CHRISTENED
Appropriate Historical Addresses and
Sale of Lots.
FREMONT, Neb., June 6. (Special.)
About 200 people took the excursion train
to Leshsra this morning to attend tho
dedication and auction sale of lots at thai
tewn. Vpon the arrival of the train at
Leshara Prof. A. E. Sheldon of the State
Historical society spoke of the Pawnee
Indians and especially Of Peta-Lesharu,
the last head chief of the Pawnee trlbo.
nd for whom the town la named. "The
Pawnees," said the speaker, "were a pro
gresslve tribe. They were passing the
nomadic stage of civilization, living In
permanent towns and cultivating the.
land. Left to themselves they would un
doubtedly have developed Into a nation
of farriers. They raised good crops of
corn and depended upon them as much as
upon the results of the hunt." Peta
Lesharu, he regarded as a man of Influ
ence and executive ability, though not
particularly successful as a warrior.
Prof. E. E. Blackman, archeologlst of the
State Historical society, delivered an In
teresting address on the "Remains and
Relics of Indian Townsltes In this Section
of Nebraska." Leshara occupies the it
of what was known as the lower village
of the two big villages of the Pawnees,
but owing to the early settlement of the
country and the cultivation of the old
village site. Including burial places. It
had yielded but few relics of Interest to
the archeologlst.
A number of the old settlers of the
cottnty who came here while the villages
were large and flourishing, and were per
sonally acquainted with: Peta-Lesharu and
other chiefs, spoke briefly.
A most Interesting feature of the affair
was phonographic reproductions of Paw
nee songs. Including their famous "wolf
song," the records , of which were ob
tained last year by- Prof. Shelton in
Indian territory. He... spent considerable
time there among the, , Pawnees and by-
means of the phonograph obtained a large
election of their songs. ; The auction
sale of lots took place after a picnic dJn-J
ner was served In an wdjomlng grove and
a number of them were disposed of at
good prices.
