Kinney Says He Slew
Myers Because of
Stories About Him
GRAND ISLAND, Neb., July 16. (Spe
cial Telegram.) Ed Kinney, who yester
day afternoon shot and killed Charles
Myers, today made a written confession
to County Attorney Cunning-ham, in
which he related the details of his early
life and his recent quarrels, in which
some one hurled a vile epithet at him.
He related how he had held this against
the men he regarded as responsible for
the circulation of stories against him,
, and how he had come to Grand Island to
find out who had started things, pur
chased the weapon, tested it and then
proceeded to do the shooting.
Kinney slept little last night, but today
still stated to the sheriff and attorney
that he felt Justified In the shooting. He
indicated that he was seeking a man
named Cook more than Myers.
While there were cries on the street as
the man was captured and being taken
to Jail of "hang him," there waa no dis
order whatever and none is feared.
Doctors probed for the bullet, found it
entering the back near the heart, pene
trating both lungs, and being uncondi
tionally a mortal wound. A coroner's
inquest will be had tonight.
Myers was GO years 'of age and had
never married. His mother lives at

BRYAN FIGHT STILL TO FORE
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN. July 16. (Special. The ad
Tent of Senator Fhlllp Kohl of Wayne
Into the political field as a possible can
didate for the democratic nomination for
governor, depending upon whether Gov
ernor Morehead will be a candidate for
a third term, created a democratic to-
lltlcal stir.
It appears to be an open secret thut
Mayor Charles Bryan of IJnooln la going
to attempt to land that nomination him
self. There are also rumors that In case
Brother Charlie enters the fight for the
gubernatorial nomination there will be a
concerted attack on the part of oppo
nents of the peace prophet on the Bryan
trenches and the the Bryans will find
hard sledding In their efforts to take thj
governorship. M
Judge Thomas of Seward has been ma
neuvering around Lincoln hobnobbing
with democratic politicians for several
days. The Judge is quiet when It comes
to discussing his activity at the present
time, but some venture the opinion that
Seward county may have a candidate
for that democratic nomination when the
real battle 'begins.
If the political mlxup (n the demo
cratic ranks can only be fixed up the
valiant but very much worried follower
of Thomas Jefferson are of the opinion
that they can land, but Just how to -fix
things up between Mr. Bryan and Sen
ator Hitchcock has not been divulged by
anyone. The probable appointment of
Brother-ln-Law Tommy Allen to tho
district atotrneyship and the landing of
Judge Tlbbets as postmaster of Lincoln,
In the minds of a large number Indicates
that the president Is going to givei Bryan
what he desires in an effort to keep him
loyal to the democratic administration.
Senator Hltchoock's followers say that
the appointment of Allen Is not fixed
and that the, turning over of the postof
flce Job to Tlbbeta is only a temporary
affair, which will be knocked galley west
when Hitchcock goes to Washington and
gets the ear sof the powers.

Rehearing in the
Southern Lumber
Case is Ordered
There is gloo mln the ranks of lumber
tealers who handle southern yellow pine
In Omaha. This la because the old yellow
pine rate case, which the Interstate Com
merce commission settled "once for all,"
March 2, 1915, Is again to be reopened for
a hearing before the commission. It Is
the old fight aa to whether 25 cents Is an
adequate freight rate on yellow pine
from Helena, Ark., and other yellow pine
sections to Omaha and Des Moines, or
whether the 26. cents decided upon five
years ago by the railroads shall be per
mitted. Once the railroads charged 264 cents
for a year or two and then the commis
sion declared 25 cents an adequate rate.
At the same time Jhe commission ordered
the railway companies to pay back to
the shippers the 14 cents per 100 they had
been charging.
Then the railway ' companies sought
again to establish the 264-cent rate. Re
peatedly suspension orders were obtained
from the commission by the representa
tives of the lumber companies of Omaha,
Des Moinea and the southern producers.
At last the commission, March 2. 1915, en
tenerd the order for th. 25-cent rata, and
the lumbermen thought all was aettled.
The railroads asked for a reopening of
case. This was denied, but on some other
technicality the railroads asked for a re
opening of the case and got It. The order
to have th. case reopened haa Just
reached Omaha. The 26-cent order ie to
remain In effect, however, pending the rehearing,
