F. liar rington Have Drmnniled Flftrrn Hundred Dollnrs for rrriiar Inar Thrlr (asr. VALENTINE. Neb., Oct. to. (Special.) George Weed. Alma Weed, Kenneth Weed, Kenneth Murphy " and Harry Heath, tho four men sentenced to serve the remainder of their Uvea In the stato penitentiary for the murder of Charles I'crry Sellers on June IS, were taken to day to Lincoln to 'begirt serving their sentences. Bunlce Murphy, the young woman charged with having Incited the murder, against whom the state was unable to make Its case after Judge Wcstover di rected the county attorney to accept a plea of guilty of murder In the second degree from the men who committed the crime, has left Cherry county. She de parted Immediately after the trial for tho cast and it is not known here where, she has gone. County Attorney Tucker was assisted In the trial ty Captain Fisher of Chad, ron and by M. P. Harrington of O'Neill. These attorneys had collected their evi dence to such an extent that they be lieved themselves absolutely secure in a first degree verdict from tho Jury. MP.. Harrington had made a contract with the county commissioners that ho was to receive $2,000 for his services If sny of the defendants stood trial, but that If they pleaded guilty he was to re reive whatever compensation was reason able. Both he and Fisher have put In claims for $1,600 each. Trrrell Talks of Case. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. (Special.) F. M. Tyrrell of this city, who was as sociated in the defense of the four men who were tried at Valentine- for the murder of Charles Perry Sellers, arrived in the city late last night. He declared today that the results obtained through tho brief trial appeared to be satisfactory to the people of Cherry county and that he had heard no complaint with regard to the sentence of life imposed upon tho four men. To the Intimation as voiced in press reports, that Judge Westover had ex ceeded his rights when he ordered the Ktate's attorneys to accept a plea of Builty of murder In the second degree, Attorney Tyrrell said: "No, I do not consider that Judge Westover established a new precedent when he ordered the state's attorneys to accept a plea of second degree mur der. The county attorney is an officer of the court, and Is under orders of the court. Tho court could have ordered a manslaughter verdict if he wanted to and the county attorney would have been forced to accept. It was no more an abuse of power on the part of the court than to take a case from a Jury and direct a verdict, or for a court to ncJle prosse a case when attorneys have neglected to bring It to trial. "The scene In the court room when the boya were sentenced was the sad- dest one I have witnessed In twenty-five years before the bar. It Is said In press j dispatches that the boys were unpre iturbed. but they were anything but that. They will not be paler when they are dead than they were when they stood up to be sentenced. They knew what was coming. It had been agreed upon and we did not offer any statement ask ing for clemency. Harry Heath had been brought In first and had pleaded guilty." ' COLONEL ELI0TT VISITING NORTHEASTERN NEBRASKA WEST TOINT, Neb., Oct. 20 (Special.) -Colonel James C. Elliott, republican candidate for congress from tho Third district Is now visiting Dixon, Cedar and Knox counties In his initial campaign. Everywhere ho goes Mr. Elliott finds republican sentiment overwhelmingly In his favor, much more than was at first anticipated by him. The republicans in Ceoar county, esjieclally, predict & large majority for him at the election, a pre diction bases on a personal canvass of the county by party workers. We still have about !09 or those elegant little broadcloth and corduroy coats for tots 2 to 8 years at $3.00. Benson & Thorne Co., 1320 Farnam. St. S. J. DUTCH. Knox County Demos Face Ghost of Many Broken Pledges BLOOM FIELD, Neb., Oct. 20. (Special.) Politics In this county Is commencing to get warm. Two years ago the democrats made a vigorous campaign against 'of ficials putting their own relations In as assistants. They made a thorough can vass of tho county and pledged them selves to do away with tho relationship proposition. This promise was flagrantly broken by the new democratic officers as soon as they were installed. Two years ago the democrats made a clean-up by electing every officer In tho county, even getting five of tho seven members of the Board of Supervisors. In July, 10G, the democratic county board padded the ceneus, thereby In creasing their own salaries and many of the salaries of the other county officers and their deputies. Their paddod census at that time showed the county to have a population of 22. W0, when four years later, or In 1910. the government census only gave the county 18,338. This Jug gling of the census has cost Knox county thousands of dollars In the last five years. The republicans have an excellent county ticket up In this campaign. Its candidates are pledged for economy against nepotism, and In favor of the in vestigation of the county records by an expert accountant. With a united re publican party In this county and with hundreds of the best democrats In the county supporting the republicans It looks at this time that tho entire republican ticket will be elected. The clean and honorablo democrats of this county will not stand for the political manipulations of "the rotten democratic ring" in this county. Summer Ilomrn at SI 11 ford. M1LFORD. Neb.. Oct. 20.

Nebraska as Seen by the Easterners The following editorial was clipped from the New York Evening Mall of October 17 and shows how other people sees Ne braska: HAPPy NEBRASKA. Everybody In Nebraska appears to be happy except the politicians. And with good reason. It has been a good year for Nebraska. The crops have been abundant, taxos are low and wages high, health conditions are excellent and pretty nearly every body has money In bank. In fact, this has been what Is known as "a fat year." Nature seems disposed to be unusually generous to the Nebraskans. For In slanco, people In some parts of the state are gathering their second crop of straw berries and blackberries for the year. Two crops of roaming ears havo been taken from the rame stalks In one county and a third Is assured If the frost will only hold off a little while longer, while in several communities farmers report a second crop of potatoes. About the only thing the Nebraskans have to complain of la that this sort of production may have an exhausting effect on the soil. raising of commercial quantities has been much faster.
