The matter was called to the attention
of the secretary of atate by C. K. Abbott,
a naorney of Fremont, who desired a com
parison made of the enrolled bill and the
session laws. Mr. Abbott said he had been
Instrumental in getting this amendment

Traction Line ftaeka X p.
The TJncoln Traction, company decided
today that It would not force patrons to
walk a block from Eighteenth and O to
Eighteenth and N streets to use a transfer
from the O to the South Eighteenth street
line. This has been the practice of the
company for soma time,, but so many pro
tests were filed with the railway commis
sion and so many complaints heard that
after a hearing the company notified the
commission that It had backed up from Its
practice. This saved the commission the
trouble of making an order In the case.
Regiments to Fort Klley.
Adjutant General Hartlgan desires very
much that both regiments of the Nebraska
National Guard go to Fort Klley for the
encampment which has been changed from
September to August IB. He has written
the War department to see Just how many
men he will be permitted to bring along,
but as yet has received no reply.
No company whose men and officers
number lees than forty-three will be per
mitted to go, so companies with a less
number will be forced to recruit up to
past that number or be left at home.
Should both regiments be permitted to
attend the maneuvers It will require six
trains to accommodate the troops. There
will be no mobilisation of the cuard, the
companies boarding the trains at their
nearest point.

the labor commissioner's office was closed i In h' Hhoes. At the trial, which occupied

closed, for he could not pay out and

closed doors busy clerks kept at work, per
mitting the heads of the department to

There was no Inspiration for any one to
go out and cut down a cherry tree unless
that spirit came to Colonel Furse, private
secretary to the governor. He had cause to
cut down a cherry tree or do something
Just us desperate.
Now It happened that yesterday gave
some Indication of -pretty weather for to
day, and acting on that 'hunch, the woman
who doea washing for the family, of Colonel
Furse concluded the bright sunshine was
the place In which to dry clothes, and so
she passed up that nice dry, warm base

KEARNEY. Neb., Feb. 22. (Special.)
The village of Elm Creek, this county, is
advertising broadcast and offering a grand
prize of tr for a new name for the town.
Like the fair damsel whose name Is just
plain old-fashioned Mary until she Is 18
years old, when It becomes "Marie," this
town at the age of 20 years now wants to
throw off the name It was christened with
and get one more up-to-date. Elmcreek.
so the villagers say, sounds like a small
backwoods hamlet, and under this title the
village could never maintain that dignity
that rightfully belongs to it.

DEAlil PENALTY FOR WILSON
Aimworth Murderer Given Extreme
Limit by Jury.
CRIME WAS AN ATROCIOUS ONE
Coavlrted of Hhootla Then Beating
to Death. Proprietor of a. Pool
Hall Former Fort
Mead Soldier.
AINSWORTH, Neb., Feb. 22 (Special
Telegram.) The Jury In tho Davis murder
esse after deliberating ten hours and forty
minutes this morning brought In a verdict
of guilty of murder In the first degree and
Imposed the death penalty. Owing to the
fact that It was a holiday the court could
not set the date of execution nor the at
torney for the defendant file a motion for
a new trial, but he did ask for a day or
two In which to arrange his affairs, and
the court set February 25 as the time for
hearing of motions, etc
Walter Klfenburg, alias George Wilson,
convicted of the crime, received the ver
dict without a quiver and when taken back
to his cell In the county Jail took up the
work of writing letters to relatives with
out the loss of a moment's time.
Monday was given over to the arguments
of the attorneys of both sides, and It was
found necessary to hold a night session of
the court In order to finish. Judge Har
rington concluded his charge to the Jury
and placed the case In Its hands at 8:20 p.
m. and at 7 o'clock this morning tha Jury
announced to the bailiff that a verdict
had been reached and the Judge and other
officers of the court were hastily sum
moned despite the early hour and the In
tense cold there wtre present In the court
room when the verdict was read about 100
people, with a number of women among
them.
Crime Waa Told Blooded.
The crime of which Wilson was convicted
was a most atrocious one. J. Davis, Jr.,
who conducted a pool hall, on the night of
December 27, last, closed his business at 11
o'clock and started home. lie was shot
while passing through an alley near his
home, the bullet passing almost through
his head. His pockets were robbed of
about $225. The body was then dragged to
barn nearby, where Davis must have
rartlally revived. The murderer then took
some sharp Instrument and Inflicted a
number of serious wounds about the head.
Davis lived but an hour or two and never
regained consciousness. Wilson was sus-
Pectcd and placed under arrest and when
seven days, it was found that Wilson had
deserted a wife and child at Lead, S. D.,
ar.d that he was also a deserter from the
I'nltcd States army at Fort Meade, S. D
having been a member of Troop V, Fourth
cavalry. The evidence, though circumstan
tial, was partluclarly damaging. Nine of
the pieces of money found on Wilson con
tained blood spots, as did his hat and coat
and the doorknob of his room at the hotel.
Wilson or Rifenberg came from Perth
Amboy, X. J., where a father and brother
now reside.
