BROWN AND SHELDON DELEGATES apreme Cnnrt aya I.oaaa Lambert Mail Ser-re Time for Aaaaalt aa Rev. Father achell, Com mitted nt Dakota City. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 24. (Special.) Judge J. H. Strode, former member of congress. member of the Grand Army of the Republlo and one of the leaders of the organisation of the Roosevelt club of this city, has transferred his alleglence to Secretary Taft and will contribute his share of work In the future to secure a delegation tr.fm Nebraska which will be for the nomination of the secretary. He said: Since President Roosevelt has definitely settled the matter of his nomination, and he will not be a candidate, I think the re publican party of Nebraska should unite behind the candidacy of Secretary Taft. He represents more than any other candi date the progressive policies of the rank and file of the republican party. In select ing thla Taft delegation the party should be careful to select the men who are lead ers In the policies of the president. Per sonally. I belleva the party could do no better than to select Governor Sheldon and Senator Norrls Brown as two of the dele-gates-at-large, because of the positions they occupy aa well as because of their fit ness to represent the party. Both are known over the country, and both have the confidence of the republicans of the state. Both fought and won In the late election, overcoming many obstacles. The republicans of the atate should remember that bigger things are at stake now than merely the fact that aome man Is to be honored. They should luok at this mat ter In the broad sense of what is best for the state. There are plenty of men In Nebraska who are eminently fitted for places on the delegation, but probably there are very few who will attract aa much attention as the men mentioned. The very fact that one Is a senator and one a governor will at once attract attention to the delegation, and that Is what Ne braska wants If It Is going to make itself felt In the national convention. It would be to tho best Interest of the party If they were Invited unanimously to become mem bers of the delegation. It Is an honor to be a member of such a delegation, and that honor cannot be more worthily be stowed than upon tho senator and the" gov ernor. The fact that Senator Burkett re quested that his name be not used as a candidate for a place on the delegation should not Influence republicans to pre vent the governor and Senator Brown go ing on the delegation." Lambert Moat Serve Time. Logan Lambert, an ex-saloon keeper and bootlegger among the Indians of Thurston county, must serve a sentence of one year In the penitentiary for assault on Father Joseph Schell, a Catholic priest. Father Schcll had been active In trying to pre vent the unlawful sale of Intoxicating liq uors among the Indians on the Winnebago reservation. According to the testimony Lambert had served a short term In the federal penitentiary at Stotix Falls for In troducing liquors on the reservation. On April 13, 1905, when th priest went- to Da kota City to attend a trial wherein Ed Lulkhart was being prosecuted for having assaulted an Indian, tie met Lambert In front of the livery bkHI. Lambert Invited the priest Into a stall to see blm privately. While the priest was looking down think ing what lie should say In answer to a question about aome trouble Lambert was In In Omaha he was struck by Lambert without warning and knocked down. He tried to raise his head and was kicked in the face and became unconscious. When ho regained conscious?) ess he found that his face was bleeding copiously and his Jaw was broken In three places. He was taken to a hospital In Sioux City, where he was treated for several weeks. At the time of the trial he had not recovered from his injury, his face being paralyzed on one side from his Jaw to his chin. Lambert was convicted of the crime of assault with intent to commit great bodily Injury. He appealed the case, contending that, the ver diet was not sustained by the evidence and Invoked that rule that tho words "great Domiy injury lmpuoa an Injury of a graver and more serious character than an ordinary battery. He also contended ha struck the priest In self-defenso, fear. Ing that hn was alout to be assaulted. The supreme court holds that the evidence clearly shows a disposition on the part of Irfimbert to Inflict on his victim more than an ordinary battery and that evidently tho Jury took the view that the assault was madu for the purpose of chastising tho priest for real or Imaginary grievances which Lambert and his friends had against him, with the Intention of Inflicting upon him great bodily Injury. 'Tha court says "the victim of the unlaw ful atisault Is a nonresident; a minister of the gospel whose mission was to teach the doctrine 'peace on earth, good will to men;' and whose only fault seemed to have been his seal In trying to prevent the defendant and others from debauching tho Indians wiose temporal and spiritual welfaro had been committed to his charge." The court sustains the Instruction of tho trial court that If the Jury should find that the defendant assaulted the prosecut ing witness at a time that he had no reas onable apprehension of Immediate Impend ing Injury to himself, and to accomplish some unlawful purpose, or from a spirit of retaliation or revenge, the Jury should find that the defendant could not avail himself of the law of self-defense. Lambert, who had been at liberty on ball, was to day taken Into custody by the sheriff of Dakota county. New Gnus for the Gaard, Adjutant General Schwarx has received a letter from the War department saying that the department Is ready, or will be by April 16, to furnish the Nebraska Na tional Guard with the new model gun.
