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 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.

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.

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.
