Colonel Beltzer
Wants the Position
of Sergeant-at-Arms
Osceola Man on Deck Asking; Demo
cratic Legislators to Name Him
for -Place in House.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. Deo. 7 Speclal.) "Colonel"
Belier of Osceola la camped on the trail of
a poult Ion of honor. He wants to be ser-geant-at-arms
of the house of representa
tives next winter. He has sent out letters
to the democratic members-elect and has
received a reasonable number of replies.
The "colonel" would not be new at the
job If he secured It, nor la he a novloe at
the task of hunting for some such position.
He has seen exeprlence. While that ex
perience all dated back to the time when
his cherished party, the populists, were In
control of the legislature, still he Is not
without a strong hope that he may be
smiled upon by the democrats as a matter
of "fusion." Mr. Beltier was assistant ser-
geant-at-aj-ms away back In 1891, and so
well did he quell with a stern soldier's de
meanor the turbulent spirits of his populist
friends within the railing and of tha lobby,
lsts without, that he was selected for the
same honored position a second time In
1893.
It Is said oClonel Beltzer still has the
same hickory stick with which he formerly
beat his .desk at the rear ol the hall of the
house till the roar rose above the tumult
and made It possible for the speaker- to
yell for ord-r.
The State Railway commission has denied
the application of the Harvard Telephone
company to be allowed to discontinue the
free switching service wRh the Clay County
Rural Phone company on the ground that
where such application Is based on the
construction of a contract which has been
In existence, the commission Is without
Jurisdiction. It orders the complainant
company to continue the free exchange of
service under further order from the com
mission. In 19v5 the Clay County Rural Phone com
pany had an exchange In Harvard, which
at that time was sold to the Harvard com
pany. A contract was entered Into at
4ie time, the respondent Clay county com
pany declaring, under terms by which free
exchange over the Harvard switchboard
should be granted to the rural Una fo ra
period of twenty-five years. This the Har
vard company denied. The evidence showed
that during the last six years the Harvard
company has charged other rural lines en
tering Harvard a monthly charge of 50
rents per subscriber, but that It has never
made this charge against the Clay County
H-.ial line nor' has ever attempted to
do so.
The biennial report of tha Peru Normal
school has been filed with the governor.
It Shows that the managers will have to
ask for feflclency appropriations In some
departments Inasmuch as the funds cannot
hoi dout until the rear appropriations be
come due. State Superintendent-elect J.
W. Crabtree was principal of the school
until ths first of last June an D. W.
Hives since that dale. Kach principal
might point to the other as the cause of
the depleted funds.

Theory of Assault
COROSTR TELLS OF FEUDING BODY
Brother of Defeadaat Described Trip
Taken with William to IMsoa on
Ik Isas- of the Marder of
Mister.
PONCA, Neh., Dec. 7. (Special.) Evi
dence by the defense In the Flege murder
case today was of a character Intended to
show that an assault had been committed
upon Louise Flege, as If to indicate that
she met death In this manner. Coupled
with this waa evidence bearing on the
good character of the defendant.
Dr. J. J. Williams of Wayne, the cor
oner of Wayne county, was ths fli phy
siclsn called to the Flege place' on June 30
after the body was discovered. Albert
Klchtencamp met him out on the road to
direct him to the place, near the schoool
house, three-fourths of a mile from the
Flege home. -
The witness said that the young man
told him that"Ioulse Fleg was Turnd to
death and that Louise had said to him
that afternoon that she waa not feeling
well and she thought something bad wound
happen. The witness stated that In the
evening he and Dr. Graham had found
what seemed to be evidence that an as
sault had been committed on Ijoulse Flege
that day, but that It could not have been
of a violent character. The witness de
clared the arrangement of clothing could
not have been done by her after she was
shot, as the wound would have been Im
mediately fatal. His later answer was that
he did not determine definitely whetther
he found evidence of assault. He believed
somebody had folded up the dress of the
dead girl In the shape they had found It
John Groetner testified that he and Mr.
Beckenhauer had made a similar examl-1
nation, but determined nothing.
tlrother Tells of Case.
Fred Flege, brother of the defendant,
took the stand and related the story of
the afternoon of June 30, stating that h
had called the defendant to the telephone
about 12:30, and that WUUam-Jiad come
to his home and they made their trip to
Dixon. The only place visited in Dixon
that day was the saloon. They remained
there for about half an hour, then returned
with a case of beer and a Jug of whisky
containing a half-gallon, belonging to the
defendant. Later In the evening, about
6:30, Albert called him and told him, to
come over, as Louise "was about all In."
He went, and found his sister dead In the
yard.
On cross-examination the witness said
that there had been some trouble between
the two brothers knd his stBter Louise at
the time Henry left home In the spring.
Later he said that William was not a
party to that trouble. Witness could not
tell whether Henry left home on account of
this trouble between himself and Louise.
George Bannen, mallcarrler, testified that
he saw Albert Elchtencainp on June 30
In the cornfield, plowing corn, when he
passed about twenty minutes Of 2 o'clock.
H. C. Henney, banker of Wayne, was
called for the purpose of testifying In ref
erence to William Flege's character. Mr.
Henney said that he knew William Flege
and that he had done business with him,
and that, also, he had talked with the
neighbors of defendant, and said he had
a good reputation and character.
H. T. Wilson, also a banker of Wayne,
testified to the good name and character
of the defendant.
