The worst case of cruelty to animals ever
heard of In this vicinity was brought to
light Sunday by a couple of hunters across
the river In Saunders county. In a se
cluded spot near the edge of a corn field
they found an old horse with lis four
legs tied together and almost dead. In
Its struggles to get up the ropes had cut
ii.tn ti. ..!.
lino me nesn.
They loosened the animal, but he was
too weak to stand, but ate heartily of
corn. Thoy hunted up the owner.
Thoy hunted up the owner, who
proved to be a young man living on a
farm nearby, and he calmly told them
that the horse was his, that It was worn
out and worthless, that five days before
he led It out there tied its legs and left
it to die of starvation., He seemed to think
he had done nothing wrong. The men
went back and shot the horse. The
neighbors did not know the affair until
today and are highly Incensed at the
man's actions. Besides prosecuting under
the statute they ar ethreatenlng to run
him out of the country, and it would only
take a leader among them today to do
the business at once.

NEW HEARING FOR CLARKE
Negro Murderer Granted One by Gov

tFrom a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Nov. 19.-(8pecial Telegram.)
Harrison Clarke will have a hearing be
fore Governor Sheldon December 9. at
which time the chief executive will decide
whether he la entitled to a commutation of
sentence. He renews the charge made after
his own counsel and that the attorneys
consulted him but once previous to trial
and that In effect his case was "rail
roaded" through the trial court. He asks
the governor to cummute his death sen
tence to one for life, or If on reading the
record, the governor shall conclude that he
Is no more guilty than Gathrtght, already
sentenced to fifteen years, to tnake the
term of the same length.
A letter containing his request was re
ceived today by Governor Sheldon, who,
on reading It, fixed December 9 as tire
time for a hearing. The date' of execution
has already been fixed by the supreme
court at December 13.
In his letter, which Is a long one, Clarke
details the circumstances of his Imprison
ment In Ihe Douglas county Jail and says
Judge Button asked him If he could engage
a lawyer. Ho told the court that he
would bo able to employ one. but the next
he heard of the matter was when Judge
Sutton appointed Attorneys Myers and
Ijrlgh to defend him. Attorney Myers
called upon him and got a copy of the In
formatlon"and he heard nothing more from
his attorneys until Mr. Leigh visited him,
when he asked what would be done and
he was told the lawyers would attend to
that.
Claims lie Waa Not Conaolted.
Clarke says he was not consulted about
his defense and though he asked a continu
ance at the time the case was set for trial,
his lawyers did not push the matter and re
ported as ready when he was not ready.
He said when the case waa called he
snowea oy a letter proaucea in court mat
he would be able to engage attorneys of his
own choice and that money for his defense
would be forthcoming, and the court waived
his request aside as was done with other
requests made on his behalf during the
trial. In open court, Clarke said lie re-
quested the privilege of asking questions
j of the witnesses, but the court stopped him
; and told him he could ask them through
I his lawyers. He say he would have shown
the testimony of Gathrtght untme, but no
attention waa paid to him.
Clarke's request Is for the governor, If he
thinks him guilty of the murder, to consider
the manner of his trial and commute his
i .... . ,,, , ,im. , thmt it
ntence to life Imprisonment and that If
no minus ne is no more guilty man uatn
right to make the term fifteen years. Clarke
saya the record will show how he was
treated at the trial and that he will be
satisfied to leave his case In the hands of
tho governor If the executive .will but read
the testimony carefully.

Icy that Is Issued by the Bankers' Deposit
company of Washington, D. C, and which
purports to protect banks and depositors
against loss The company has no license to
do business In Nebraska and Mr. Pierce Is
in possession ot official correspondence
from the superintendent of the department
of Insurance at Washington in which tho
company Is declared hot to be Incorporated

irah'' " wrl"rn a 'euer 10 r- - Knnc-
deupty comptroller of tho currency at

Chief Deputy Oil Inspector A. B. Allen
and Secretary Dlmmery of tha governor's
office have gone on a week's trip to Okla
homa where they will prospect and pos
sibly Invest In land.
In the letter sent to Mr, Pierce by Mr.
Drake the following statements were
made: "That feature printed on the face
of the membership certificate you sent
me, reading thus, 'Incorporated by act of
congress and approved by the president of
the United folates' is false, and in my
Judgment steps by the federal government
should be taken immediately to have those
misleading documents recalled, and , if,
after Investigation, it should be found that
the company has no legal existence, the
offenders brought to book.
"From the outset I have been firmly
of the opinion, and I still maintain, that
no provision was made In the district code
for an Insurance company to Insure bank
deposits. In further support, too, of my
position, I Invite anyone to cite In a single
Instance a company that is legally organ
ized In the United States to exclusively
do a business of this kind or Incidentally,
either, without having first procured spe
cial legislative authority."
Insurance Deputy P1erce(ha information
that the company Is trying to do business
in Nebraska, though It has no authority to
do so.
Governor Endorses Preeldeat's Ideas.
"President Roosevelt Is Intensely Inter
ested in Having the natural resources of
the country," said Governor Sheldon this
morning, In discussing his Invitation to
meet the president and other governors
In Washington next May to discuss the
questlo of the salvation ofthe oountry's
resources. "He Is going to do all he can
to get the most good out of the rivers
and at the same time protect the forests.
I may be able to attend the meeting,
though I believe the congressmen know
I the wishes of the people about as well as
i the governors and could get along very
well without suggestions from the gov
ernors."
Valvereliy Wilts Credit for Tax.
An employe of the State University hag
requested that the state auditor give the
temporary university fund credit for the
total proceeds of the 1 mill levy for lKuT.
as well as 1 mill on every dollar collected
on back taxes. The regents desire to Issue
warrants against this hook account and
have the same registered. Should the
auditor grant this request a similar re
quest could be made next year for the
proceeds of the 19us tax. which was also
appropriated by the last legislature. As
the tax on real eat ate for the year ltS
la not delinquent until May 1, lt), this
would. In eCfcett, be appropriating the 1
mill levy beyond the present biennium and
up to a time beyond the adjournment of
the next legislature, notwithstanding the
17 legislature In making Its appropria
tions limited them to the blennlum ending
March II, ll.
The regents will base their claim on the
decision of the supreme court In the case
of State ex rel Led with against Searle.
auditor of publlo accounts, in which It
was held: "When the auditor of publlo
ecotints has duly audited and allowed a
claim payable out of the said funds, and
there Is an unexpended balance therein of
a sufficient amount. It Is his duty to draw
a warrant therefor In favor of the claim
ant, although there may be no money ac
tually In the treasury belonging to said
fund." The court also held that the origi
nal act creating the 1 mill levy for the
maintenance of the university Is not re
pealed by Implication by the revenue law
of 1903. The last legislature passed an act
approved April 4, 1907, appropriating the
proceeds of the 1 mill tax for the yeara
1W7, l!" and so much of the proceeds of
the 1 mill tax for the years 19n6 and 1!XS
not heretofore appropriated, to the use of
the university for the biennium ending
March 31, 1909. In the Ledwlth case the
court held that this amounts to a specific
appropriation within the meaning of the
constitution.
Since April 1 there has been collected In
back taxes WX, 1.14. 47 and tho 1907 tax has
not yet begun to come in. So far the
auditor has not given the university credit
for the amount of the 1 mill levy for 1907.
