MQOEE TELLS OF FINDING M01TCY Registered Package Sent by Soath Omaha Bank and Lost from ' Traia Falls Into Strange Uanda. Deputy United States Marshal Moore has returned- from Big; Springs, near where he succeeded In arresting; the two Japanese track walkers who were charged with ap propriating; the contents of a registered mall package of 1500 that they found on the railway tracks among other contents of a mall pouch that had fallen from a mall cur and was badly ground up by the wheels of the same or a following train. K. Ka- whara. one of the Japs, was held In 12,000 J ball and locked up In the North Platte Jail, while the other Jap, M. Takana, was dis charged, no evidence being found against Mm that would warrant his being held. The package of money was sent from the South 'Omaha National bank to the Bank of Llewellyn, February 17. and the pouch was lost from the train the fol Ir rr lowing day. The two Japanese track walk- rs found the' fragments of the destroyed mall pouch, including, the $600, or rather I486 of It. Three $5 bills had been cut In two uifdsp-ho- wheels and: the Jape-sue reeded in finding only a half ef each of them.' '. Enter Three Trauma. Monlay night, June 10. three tramps named Allison, Linen and Drake, broke Into the Japanese bunk house at Big Springs. The Japs discovered them while In the act ef the burglary and took after them and With the assistance of the section - boss, eventually captured them and turned them over to the state authorities. Upon being ( searched the three tramps were found to have In their possession the three frag ments of the IS bills stolen from the bunk house. t In the meanwhile Poetofflee Inspector M. M.8teelo had been searching for the lost money and succeeded In recovering most of the mall and also found the other three fragments of the 15 bills,- which he had ent to Washington for further Investiga tion. Steele 'learning that pieces of three S bills had been recovered from the men who robbed the bunk house concluded that they were mates to the ptoces he had found, on the railway track In February Ground for Investigation. This at .once furnished ground for an In vestigation of the Japanese track walkers, from whose effects the burglars had stolen the pieces of the bills. The Jape were confronted with the charge of finding the money package, but denied It at first, say ing the bills had been torn In two while betnff taken- from an envelope and that they had received the money from friends In Hawaii.' , 8. "O. Insuye, of Cheyenne, a Japanese Interpreter, was called Into the case and Kawhara admitted having found the money package and that Takana knew nothing about H. The latter was discharged and Kawhara held by United States Commis sioner R-'A.. Day, at Oskoah, Nob., before whom tho examination was held. A search ef Kaw haras trunk was made-and the re mainder of the money, about 1160, was re covered. The three tramps who robbed the bunk ouse wore tried at a special term of the . peuel county court at Ch.ppell before Judge , Crimea, who gave , two of them Hf teen . months In the penitentiary and the other -lV.,-.,n mnnlh.

DIGNITY OF OFFICE A BAR Vlnsonhaler Says This Precluded Him Demanding and Fixing Mar rinse Fees. That the dignity of hi office as county judge precluded him from demanding; and collecting the fees fixed by law for ' the papers and other services of the county Court was the statement made by Judge D. M. Vlnsonhaler on the witness stand In the case In which the county Is seeking to collect from ex-County Judges Baxter and Vlnsonhaler certain fees, Including- marriage fees, pocketed by them while In offlce. "When a case came up for a decision I could hardly say to the parties that unless they paid the fees I would not give them a decision," declared Vlnsonhaler. "I was placed there to dispatch the business as rapidly as possible." "And therefore you considered you bad a tight to neglect the fees fixed by law to be P14 to the county?" asked Attorney Howell. Attorneys for Baxter and Vlnsonhaler held that the fees were not fixed by law. Another point on which the two Judges are seeking to escape liability la the fact that since the beginning of Judge Leslie's term of office certain of these back fees have been collected and paid to and reoelved by the oountjy. Judge Vlnsonhaler admitted that in his capacity as Justice of the peace he de manded fees In advance. IN A?

Senator Aldrtoh, who was one of the authors of the commission law, was bare yesterday and expressed his approval of the action of the attorney general tn get ting In the game head of the railroad for an tnjunotlon to prevent the railroads from tampering with the two cent rate bill and the Aldrloh freight rate bill.
