COURT IS SHORT ON JURORS
Only Half of Those Summoney Are
Available for Duty.
NUMBER OF THEM ARE EXCUSED
Pratt Divorce Case Reaches the
preme Ceart oa Appeal floveraer
to Lead Grand March at
Maalclaa' Ball.
I From a Staff Correspondent.!
LINCOLN, Neb., Feb. l.-tSpeeiaU-A
new record wss established for excusing
Jurymen Monday morning In the district
court when only about one-half of the first
panel of Jurors for the term were retained
for Immediate duty. To he exact, the
clerk's record showed but fifty-three men
out of the ninety drawn snd summoned,
who are now available for Immediate serv
ice. Fifteen were permanently excused for
various reasons, four were excused tempor
arily, hwelve of the summons sent out
by mail were returned undelivered and six
men summoned have not yet appeared.
Bom of those who failed to appear have
been hesrd from and have given satis
factory explanation of their absence. Mcsl
of them are out of the city, or are too 111
to attend now.
Most of those excused, either nermen
ently or temporsrlly, gave excuses cf press
ing business and some valid reason why
It had to have the Immediate attention of
the man summoned. Where the prospective
juror thought he would have more time
later he was excused only temporarily to
reprrt next week.
Two men were excused because they
exceeded the age limit. Both of them were
beyond the 00-jeer limit by more than a
score of years. Both were vigorous looking
men but they claimed their exemption.
James J. Jackson 1"126 South Sixteenth
street, when asked If he was more than W)
years eld, he replied that he had passed
his SOih birthday. He asked to be excused
as he was hard of hearing. Joseph I.
Byons. living at 1615 N street, another oclo
genearlan, was rxcused on account of his
uge.
This makes a very small number of
active Jurors for the beginning but It Is
thought that the number will be suffi
cient to handle all the cases that will be
tried at this term of the court as there
are no large cases to be tried. It is only
the large case that exhaust the panel by
rigid examinations. In other cases the ar
ray Is usually accepted after a very rre
functory examination.
Bntldlng Permits.
The building permits for Lincoln during
the month of January amounted to J6,500,
an Increase of $500 over the previous month
of last year. The permits for this year
were for fusiness houses, while those of
the same month last year weie largely for
lesldences. Frank A. Anderson has been
granted a permit to construct a $3,000 resi
dence at 1-16 South Twenty-third street, in
the Hillsdale addition.

Vnltcd Slates cltlsens are being turned
out today and the district court room of
Judge Sutton Is full of Swedes. Danes,
Russians. Italians. Roumanians, Sicilians
and Germans, with a sprinkling of Cana
dians and Irishmen. Not alt, alas, at
doing a quick change from foreign na
tionality to American, for many of the
fifty-eight are being "plucked" or
busted," to use a campus term, for
failure to pass an examination.
Walter F. Daly, assltant United States
attorney general, conducted the examina
tion In behalf of the federal government
and asked the candidates and their wit
nesses the numerous questions which Hie
government desires answered.
One of the first men in the witness chair
was Rev. M. M. Bronsgeest, professor of
French In Crelghton university. Mr.
Bronsgeest psssed the ordeal with flying
colors. He Is a native of Holland and was
born there fifty-two years ago.
"What are you doing here, father?" an
acquaintance asked him.
"Ik sou graag een Burger van de Vcree
nlgde Staten," he answered in purest Hol
landese. Daly's questions he. of course, answered
in English, which he speaks perfectly as
well as French, German, Spanish and
Latin, besides having a reading acquaint
ance with Hebrew and Sanskrit.
Out In the corridors there wss a verita
ble modern Babel. Olive-tinted Italians
chattered musically, while cheek by Jowl
with them were ruddy Germans emitting
harsh-sounding gutterals. Meek-seeming
Syrians and Scandinavians of every sort
rubbed shoulders, talking English and
their native tongue alternately.
"It's a pretty fair stack-up," declared
Mr. Daly as he began surveying the
throng, "but they won't all get through.
It's harder than It used to be, you know."
Some fell by the wayside because their
witnesses were absent; others had Incor
rectly prepared affidavits and a few were
not the sort of stuff who would make
good citizens In tho eyea of the govern
ment. Inability to comprehend the nature
of American Institutions was the barrier
for three and bad records obstructed
others.
STOLEN HARNESS RETURNS
Several Theories Regarding; Its Disap
pearance. One Being; It Was
Sever Stolen.
Myron L. Learned Is again the possessor
of the set of harness stolen from the barn
at lils country place last week. Tho har
ness was found tucked under the scat of
a buggy' standing in the barn.
, There are three possibilities:
Number One Tho thief had an attack of
conscience.
Number Two The thief feared detection
and prosecution and hoped by returning
the harness to allay activities to this end.
Number Three The harness was there
all the time and the barking of the dogs
was due to some other cause than the
presence of a burglar.
Had an alleged thief been arrested hW
lawyer would have probably further com
plicated the situation by arguing that it
had not been shown thefe ever was any
harness in the barn; that his client had a
perfect alibi and besides It waa his first
offense (this is stolen from "Ermlnle");
that the harness was defective and no
one In his senses would have taken it,
the said defendant being therefore probably
Insane; that another man once looked
covetously at the harness and ought to ba
In the dock Instead of the prisoner; that
a witness for the prosecution either did or
did not know a subpoena when he saw it
and besides Is suspected of being a clergy
man and a reformer and that Connor never
made any will anyhow.

They have been living In Lincoln with

WILL STENGERJOIN H. G. BURT?
Ramor Sae lie May Re Head of the

Whether Ernest Stenger is slated for the

Chicago Great Western is a question dis
cussed in the railroad world at present.
Mr. Slenger resigned Jenuary 6. from his
position of general superintendent of the

able spccuatlon as to what Mr. Stenger
would do. One rumor was that he was to
go into business for himself. Another was
he was to become general superintendent
of the Western Pacific. Now rumor has It
he will be st the head of the operation of
the Great Western.
Mr. Stenger was formarly assitsant city
engineer of Omaha and since he left that
position has been working his way to the
top In the operation department with the
railroads. A year ago he was superintend
ent of the Colorado division of the Union
Taclfic and then was made general super
intendent of the Rio Grande.
It is known that Mr. Stenger is a great
personal friend of Horace G. Burt and.
about the time it was announrrd that Mr.
Burt was to le prcs dent of t: e Great West
ern, the announcement was made of Mr.
Stenger's icslgnation from tho Rio Grande.
Relatives of Mr. Stenger's In Omaha have
hesrd nothing aro to his plans.

1130, and a silver watch, which, Mr. Hill
says, was sent to the commissioners and

Tho letter reads:
INDIAN VILLAGE, Yukon Flats. Dec.
JO, 1907. To Mis. Iniogene frather. Russell.
Ia.: Dear Sister 1 have reached the end
of my earthly career. 1 started to Nulate,
on the 1 ukon river. I got lost on the
Yukon Flats, frtre one of my feet and
am too weak to travel. I have been with
out food for a long time. The Indians
spend summer here flailing, but winter on
the river. 1 have a good house, a stove and
some few thing Ihe Indians left. I have
not suffered much, but part cf my foot
needs amputation. I leave all my property
to you and Horace Ureehy and Peter
Boyer. I leave mining interests In Nome
that I believe will prove valuable, namely,
a one-third Interest In the Hunter asso
ciation claim, a one-eighth interest in the
Hawkey association. It will cost about
IbO a year to do assessment work on these
claims, th ground is well worth it. I fa
death without a fear, a hope to me It is
the great beyond.

Young Huteson Conquers by Strategy,

HERO UNAWARE HE IS JOKE BUTT
White Lad Is Ihallrnavrd by Larger

Any Japaneeser.
See Tup Is a slant-eyed Japanese cook
In the kitchen of J. C. Huteson, Eighteenth
and Emmet streets, who never heard of
Richard Pierson Hobson and would not ap
peal to Choseo Koike If some white boy
tried to whip him.
Ordinarily See Tup Is a peaceful citizen
and Is such a distinct advantage over do
mestic help that Mr. and Mrs. Huteson are
moved with composition for him when he
docs get off the track. See Tup is about
as big as a good sized 11-year-old boy, but
with the secrets of cooking kept well in
his head, he made his-way from San Fran
cisco to Omaha by working on the rail
roads and he has a set of muscles which
would make a Japanese Juggler envious.
The muscles of most cooks aro not used
extensively, but See Yup's are in good con
dition. Mr. Huteson also has a son who has
enough Scotch in him not to be backward
about talking fight and also has a good
supply of Scottish cleverness. When a boy
about fifty pounds heavier than young
Huteson wanted to fight on the school
grounds, young Huteson begged the crowd
not to arrange for the bout under the
teacher'a eye, but agreed to retire to a
choice spot back of the Huteson home
where the fight could be pulled off to good
advantage and without the interference of
the school authorities.
The crowd which desired to see the fight
consisting of about 10U boys of all sizes,
some of them having taken sides and
others being merely innocent bystanders.
Boy Tarn C'ate Trick.
Reachlrg the Huteson home the boy
dodged in .to get on an old coat as the
fellow he was to whip or who was to whip
him had on old clothes.
The expectant crowd waited some time
and the boy did not return.
The boys began to look around the edge
of a building behind which they were hid
ing. One fellow had his coat off ready for
the fight.
Quietly, like that vagabond in grey, the
American coyote sneaks up to steal, See
Tup atepped out from behind the barn. His
slant eyes hit on the boy with hi coat off.
Another second and See Yup had the
fellow down, pounding him up in good old
Irish fashion and most of the spectators
had fled. Several remained and of thoso
who stayed, two got slapped very promptly
for interfering with the combatants.
Explaining the circumstances, See Tup
told Mr. Huteson that is son had ap
peared In the kitchen very much excited
and Informed him that there wa a boy
In the yard who said he could whlpr any
Japaneezer who ever came to Omaha. See
Yup demonstrated that even white boys in
the public schools are apt to be over-confident
about the ability of the people from
old Japan.

GODDESS LOSES LEFT ARM
Wind Tore Member from Figure on
City Hall and Damaged
Roof.
While the tower on the city hall and
the gla3tlcutuses on the cornices of the
city building still stand despite the strong
est wind Omaha ever had and the
declarations that they would tumblo In the
lirst high wlnd. the Goddess of Liberty
and the roof of tho building did not fare
as well. And no one ever thought of
condemning tho goddesB or the roof under
neath the figure.
Custodian Wahlstrom took Councilman
Bridges, chairman of tho committee on
public buildings, up on the roof of tho
city hall Monday morning and showed him
the result of tho Thursday storm. The
councilman was rurprlsed to find tho tower
and the dogs intact, but he nearly toppled
over In a faint when he discovered that
the Goddess of Liberty had lost her left
arm. Torn out by the roots, a jagged hole
under the shoulder Is left where the arm
once was. However, the councilman said
he was thankful that it was not the right,
arm that was lost, for the torch Is held
by tho right.
The damage to the allegorical figure will
not harm the hall in the least, but great
ratches of the si eel roof were torn off by
the wind and this damage must be repaired
at once. Orders to have the work done
immediately were given by the chairman -on
public buildings.
