One Mnrder and One Shooting Case
on the Docket.
BROKEN BOW, Neb., May 21. (Special.)
The May term of the district court for
Custer county. Judge Bruno O. Hostetlcr
presiding, convened here Monday. On the
calendar are forty-one Jury cases, of which
four are criminal and thirty-one law cases.
The criminal causes will require the most
time and be of great interest to every
resident of the county, especially the case
In which Charles and Harvey Dennis,
father and 12-year-old son, are charged
with the murder of George Morrison, which
occurred In the extreme southwest part
of the county last May. Trouble arose
between Dennis and Morrison on the loca
tion of a line fence and Morrison was
killed by a shot from a gun in the hands
of the boy, the father. It Is alleged, com
manding the boy to shoot.
Link Trotter Is to be tried for grand
larceny. Last February he found a purse
containing the sum of U0 belonging to
A. O. Spencer. It Is alleged that Trotter
was cognizant of the owner's name, but
regardless thereof converted the sum to
his own personal use.
Joseph Bchall, alias Friday, a roustabout,
has been in Jail here since last February
awaiting trial on the charge of shooting
with Intent to kill. It Is claimed he filled
up on bad whisky and terrorised the village
of AnBelmo, whereupon W. H. Lewis, the
marshal, and a posse, sought to arrest him.
He was In possession of an automatlo
revolver and opened fire, which, resulted
In winging the marshal, one of the bullets
lodging In his leg. So hall kept the posse
at bay and by boarding a moving freight
train escaped to Dunning, where the train
was met by the whole population, armed
with every conceivable kind of weapon,
and he gave up without reslstenco.
MISTAKES PRIEXD FOR A TRAMP
George Frlesen Shoots H. M. Mlsner
of Henderson In the Lea;,
HENDERSON, Neb., May a.-(Speclal.)
George Frlezen, cashier of the bank at
Henderson, and several business men, hav
ing been notified that suspicious looking
tramps were beating their way on the train
toward Henderson, organised a posse to
find the tramps and drive them out of
town. It was reported tHat the tramps
acted like bank robbers and were supposed
to carry with them nitroglycerine, fuses,
etc., and that their Intention was to rob
one of the banks at Henderson. The busi
ness men went to the stock yards adjoin
ing the railroad track, and in looking for
the tramps became separated, and as one
part of the crowd came around a crib the
other part were coming aroifnd In the oppo
site direction and Mr. Frlesen called upon
them to halt and, thinking that these were
the tramps. Immediately fired at them with
a 33-callber revolver. IL M. Mlsner, a
former merchant of Charleston, this county,
was hit arid Immediately male known who
he was. The bullet entered the fleshy' part
of his leg, and while it appeared at the
time quite serious It Is now believed that
he will only be confined to his bed two or
three weeks. No trace of the tramps were
found; they had disappeared.
Settling the Copple Estate.
PENT) BR, Neb., May 21. (Special.) Last
Saturday J. O. Copple, W. H. Copple. Elmer
E. Copple and W. W. Reed, the three for
mer brothers of the late Walter Copple,
who was murdered last week, and the lat
ter a brother-in-law, came to Pender and
made application for letters of administra
tion for their brother's estate and guardian
ship papers for the children.
J. O. Copple, formerly a county commis
sioner of this county, will be appointed
to both positions. The estimated value of
the estate is J10.000. with 15,000 lire Insurance
in favor of the murdered wife and four
older children.
During their stay In Pender the brothers
stated to a number of parties that they
were opposed to lynch law and wanted
Burke, . alias Htgglns, to be tried and re
ceive his Just deserts in the regular way.
There la little or no excitement here now,
and It la hardly probable that any effort
will be made to lynch the murderer when
he Is brought to Pender for a hearing. No
complaint has as yet been filed here, and
It is possible that nothing will be done for
several days yet.

the members of the club use their efforts to
see that the speeding laws and other like
provisions be enforced. There have been
a great many complains caused by utter
disregard of speed regulations and fright
ening teams reported. One man In par
ticular, has caused trouble and people In
ihat part of the county are very bitter
against him.
Wreck Delays Trains.
NORTH PLATTE. Neb., May B (Special

of a car next to the engine of an eastbound
fruit train about $ o'clock this afternoon
about three miles east of this city. Trains

BRIEF IN THE LUMBER CASE

RECORD SCHOOL FUND APPORTIONMENT
Payment of Back Taxes by the Rail
roads Boosts It l Far la Excess
of Any PreTtons IMs-trlbatlen.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
UNCOLW, May JL (Special.) Attorney
General Thompson and Deputy Attorney
Ueneral W. B. Rose today filed the brief
of the state In the case against the-Nebraska
Lumber Dealers' association. As a
conclusion the brief said;
The record furnishes a shocking Illustra
tion of the abuse of the power to control
trade In and fix prices of building mle
rlals. In the fall of 1903. M. B. Kendall
of Lincoln, who Is not a member of the
Nebraska Lumber Iealers' association or
of the (Southern Lumber Dealers' associa
tion, owned timber at Willow Springs, Mo.,
and proposed to a member of the Nebraska
Lumber Dealers' association of Lincoln
to deliver to him free on board the cars
at Willow Springs, Mo., in carload lots
white oak lumber sawed to any dimensions
at the price of a thousand feet. He
could make no sales, the excuse for not
buying white oak lumber on the cars at
Willow Springs, Mo., at $12 a thousand
feet being "overstocked; can purchase bet
ter class of lumber at Louisiana and Texas
mills.'' (Evidence, S93-5KM Klghteen months
later, April S. 19o5. a committee of retail
price fixers in Cass county fixed the price
of quarter-sawed oak flooring seven-eights
of an inch thick at 110 a thousand, re
corded the price in a little book Invented
by Bird Critchfield for that purpose and
delivered tne ikxik in i nnnwi i .i,
a member of the Nebraska Lumber Deal
ra' anrlatlon. (Exhibit 49. P. : exhibit 21;
evidence, pp. 546, 547. 667.) For a time at
least this price list was In force. The In
crease from S1J a thousand at Willow
Springs. Mo., to U0 a thousnnd at Weep
ing Water, Neb., is not the cost of kiln
drying and milling. The next item in the
trust list requires more mill work and as
much kiln drying, and the price is 50 a
thousand. It has already been shown that
J C. Newcomb, a member of the associa
tion at Friend, complained of this price list
which fixes the price of oak lumber at
$110 a thousand, and wanted the prices
raised. A. F. Sturm, a member at Ne
hawka, also demanded a new list and Sec
retary Critchfield testified that Odwarker
and Newcomb came to him with the com
plaint that "they had been selling lumber
for less than it cost them." (Evidence, p.
641) '
The determination of this case Imposes
upon the court a grave responsibility. The
power of the state to cope with one of
the greatest trusts of modern times Is
on trial. The efficiency of trust legisla
tion Is put to the test and the final Issue
Is with the court. The Lumber trust Is
one of the most harmful and dangerous of
all conspiracies. It preys on the public and
threatens the state. It defies the natural
laws of trade and commerce. It fixes prices
In secret and from Its decrees there Is
no appeal.
Record School Apportionment.
The money to be apportioned to the
various school districts of the state, as
certified to the state superintendent by
State Treasurer Brian, amounts to $458,
030.11, the largest amount ever distributed
for this purpose at any one time. One of
the Items which made up the enormous
sum Is the tax paid by the railroads, last
month's collection of taxes being the lnrgnat
In the history of the state. The sum this
time Is J14.741.97 in excess of the next
largest apportionment. While the per
capita has not yet been figured out, the
amount given for each pupil will be about
$1.26 as against $1.10 at the same time
laBt year. Next year the money derived
from the one-half mill levy will be forth
coming as this statute was repealed by
the recent legislature.
Looking Into Coal Rates.
The State Railway commission Is looking
Into the figures presented by Senator Sibley
relating to the coal rates from Rock
Springs, Wyo., to Nebraska points, and the
result may be a new rate. According to
the figures compiled by the commission
there Is a flat rate of $4.60 from the Ne
braska line clear across the state regardless
of distance, a distance of 80ft miles, whllo
from Rock Springs to Cheyenne the rate
Is $2 30 for a distance of 293 miles; to Den
ver, a distance of 400 miles, the rate Is
$2.30; while to Archer, a distance of 906
miles, the rate Is $3.75. and to Pine Bluffs,
828 miles, the rate Is $3.75: to Smead, a
distance of S44H miles, the rate Is $4.50,
and to Omaha, 809 miles, the rate Is $4.50.
Senator Sibley objects seriously to the rate
in his county and It is possible a hearing
may be given to discuss the matter.
New Officers Call,
Martin W. Dimery, newly appointed pri
vate secretary to Governor Sheldon, called
at the executive office last night and Wil
liam Wheeler, a deputy oil Inspector for
the Fifth district, called today to get next
to the work in their respective depart
ments. Havelork Wants Postmasters.
Gus Hycra, Lancaster's energetic, pullt
Ical manager and Havelock's good natured
and popular postmaster, was In Lincoln
today working up enthusiasm fr the pur
pose of landing the next postmasters' meet
ing at his town. The coming meeting Is to
be held at Omaha June 25 and 26 and Mr.
Hyers believes the men will enjoy life
more at the shops than anywhere on earth
as he himself grew fat there.
Castle Wants a Connt.
Ray Castle applied to the supreme court
this morning for a writ of mandamus to
compel the city council of Lincoln to can
vass the vote on counctlmen cast at the
late municipal election Insofar as the votes
concern the councllmen who ran for an
unexpired term. O. V. Eaton, a member
of tho council, died In 1906 and William
Schroeder was appointed to fill the vacancy.
AMONG THE CLERGY
Coffee Being; Replaced by Post am
Food Coffee.
"I am the wife of a minister. About
three years ago a warm friend, an exam
plary mother and the conscientious wife
of a minister, asked me if I had ever tried
giving up coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee. I had been telling her of my ex
cessive nervousness and 111 health. She
said: 'We drink nothing else for break
fast but Postum, and It Is a delight and
comfort to have something jthat we do
riot have to refuse the children when they
ask for It.'
"I was surprised that she would permit
the children to drink even the food cof
fee, but she explained that It was a most
healthful beverage and that the children
thrived on It. A very little thought con
vinced me that for brain work, one should
have food and the very best of food.
"My first trial of Posture was a failure.
The maid of all work brought It to the
table, lukewarm, weak, and altogether
lacking In character. We were in de
spair, but decided on one more trial. At
the second trial we faithfully followed the
directions, used four teaspoonfuls to the
pint of water, let It boll full fifteen mln
utos after the real boiling began, and
served it with rich cream. It was dell
clous and we were all won.
"I have since sung the praises of Postum
Food Coffee on many, many occasions
and have Induced numbers of friends to
abandon coffee and use postum. with re
markable results. The wife of a college
professor said to me a short time ago that
nothing had ever produced so marked a
change In ber husband's health as the
leaving off of coffee and the use of Postum
In Its place." "There's a Reason."

Bchroeder claimed his appointment con
tinues In force until 1909. Castle held the
appointment run only to the next general
municipal election and so became a candi

the council refused to canvass the votes
and the clerk refused to Issue him an elec

of Public Lands and Buildings two years
ago, but the recent legislature placed the
appointing power In the hands of the chief

of the case.
Senator Aldrlch of Butler county, the
original author of the railroad commission
bill, was In Lincoln last night and called
upon the railway commission during the
time he was not employed In the district
court. Senator Aldrlch confided to some
friends that he Intended to go after the
