the wires were kept in working order.
The party proved easy targets tc
the German sharpshooters and were
all killed except Doyen, who contin
ued at his work.

in Omaha.

Omaha's Residence District
Reveals Happy Picture of

By A. R. GROH.
Mid-afternoon in Omaha's residen
ial district. What a picture of peace
fcnd ideal home life it presents!
I walked out through Kountze
lyark district on a recent afternoon, a
district where comfortable middle-
lass homes nestle among the trees
land in the midst of green lawns and
(lowers.
A great many of these homes have
arages, where the faithful flivver
rfwells in its hours of ease, or where
,soine more pretentious car has its
bode. Ihe screened-in oorches and

At another house five little girls

in and ask, me if you can go over and
play with the little boy next door."

WITNESSES DEAD OR
HAVE DISAPPEARED
J. C. Lawrence, Testifying in
Perjury Case, Only One Who
Saw Moore Go Into Spas-
modic Condition.
in
Numerous witnesses testified
federal court that they had seen John
A. Moore, Omaha attorney, in the
grip of physical spasms with rigid
muscles, rolling eyes, etc. These were
witnesses for the defense of Dr.
Fletcher A. Butler of Harvard, who is
on trial for perjury. The charge
against him grew out' of testimony
which he gave in the trial of M'oore's
suit against the Union Pacific rail
road two years ago in which Moore
was given a verdict of $68,500.
Judge Munger rebuked United
States Attorney Allen sharply when
he asked one witness whether- he
was not also under indictment for
perjury in the Moore case.
"It is nothing against a man if
he has been indicted," said the judge.
"The indictment might be all a hor
rible mistake. He is assumed to be
innocent uVitil he is proved guilty."
Dr. G. B. Wolfort testified that
he saw Moore lying on the floor of
Dr. Butler's office in Harvard one
day. J. C. Lawrence testified that he
saw Moore go into the rigid spas
modic condition twice in the city
council chamber at Lawton, Okl., in
1902. A strange feature of his testi
mony was that all the other wit
nesses of these alleged spasms are
dead or have disappeared.
. Falls in Drug Store.
R. H. Cotney, a druggist in Law
ton, told of Moore's falling on the
floor in his drug store and remaining
unconscious for a few moments.
The action for perjury against Dr.
Butler and five others who are in
dicted rests on the claim of Moore
that injuries received by him in an
accident on the Union Pacific rail
road in 1913 caused him to be sub
ject to epileptic fits. The railroad
sought to prove that he was subject
to them before the accident.

Judge Redick Hears Arguments
On Motion Filed by Johnny Lynch
Judge Redick, sitting in law court,
heard attorney's arguments on the mo
tion filed in district court by counsel
for County Commissioner "Johnny"
Lynch in the case brought by Sheriff
Clark to oust him.
The court was asked to require
Sheriff Clark the accuser, to make
his complaint more definite and cer
tain. Judge Redick said he would hand
for the defense, Dr. Butler, the de
fendant, and most of the jury took
off their coats today as a concession
to the heat. The case will probably
end Saturday.
Sheriff Clark and Friends
On Three Days' Fishing Trip
Sheriff Clark, Charles Johnson,
Bert Dickinson, County Jailer Clay
ton and. the sheriff's son, Harold
Clark, will leave Saturday morning
for Mankato, Minn., for a three days'
fishing trip. They will go by auto
mobile. Fishing and hunting! are Sheriff
Clark's favorite pastimes. Thirty
years ago they were not pastimes
they were the means of making a
living.
He used to hunt and fish for the
public markets, and as a young man
earned the reputation of being the
niftiest nimrod and the craftiest
Izaak Walton in Douglas county. He
remembers when there were no game
laws and when he was glad to sell
plump mallards and canvasbacks at
$1.75 a dozen.

down a decision on the motion some
time next week.
If the court sustains the motion
Sheriff Clark's attorneys will have to
file an amended petition and Com
missioner Lynch will have more time
for a further answer.
Frank S. Howell, attorney for
Sheriff Clark, filed papers in district
court May 25 setting forth an array
of alleged misconduct and misde
meanors in office on the part of
Lynch and demanding his removal
from office as county commissioner.
J. A. C. Kennedy, representing
Lynch, contended that the time, date,
etc., of the various charges contained
in the five specifications of Sheriff
Clark's complaint should be stated
and other date be more specifically
set forth.
The court was also asked to strike
out certain allegations because "im
material, irrelevent, redundant and
prejudicial, do not state commission
of any act of habitual or willful
neglected duty, gross partiality, op
pression, extortion, willful maladmin
istration or commission of any felony,
and do tot refer to commission of
any act or deed, but merely to al
leged thoughts in accuser's mind."
