PROSECUTIONS
TO FOLLOW RIOT
IN KENESAW, NEB,
bounty Attorney Probes
Charge That Justice of the
' Peace Was Intimidated
by Mob.
Hastings, Neb., Aug. 12. (Special
Telegram.) Prosecutions- will fol
low the riot at Kenesaw, Saturday,
which was the most violent outbreak
in Adams county for years and the
worst of its kind in the history of
the county. The crowning feature
of the disturbance was the alleged
intimidating of Justice of the Peace
Nels Mikkelson and compelling the
effort to remit a fine he had im
posed, under threat that if he did
not his buildings would be burned
by the mob.
The trouble started during the eve
ning performance of the 1 Hays
mosement Co., which was dosing
i several days' engagement in Kene
aw. Joseph Ackerman, proprietor
jf a concession with the show, told
County Attorney Addie, who con
ducted an investigation Tuesday,
that he had discovered boys steal
ing candy. He accused them of the
theft and made them return the
candy.
The boys told their story to
friends, who massed themselves and
rushed the show. They were armed
with eggs, with which they pelted
the tent. One man attacked Acker
man. The showman dodged many
blows aimed at his head, but was
hit on the ankle and one rib was
either broken or badly injured.
The mob obtained rope, fixed a
noose on the end and attempted to
(asso the showman. Meanwhile they
were' shouting, "Hang him, hang
himl" The marshal shouted that if
anyone had .been wronged the law
would right the matter ana tne gun
ty one would be arrested
brought betore the court.
"To hell with the courts
eply of the mob.
The marshal arrested Henry
Schneider and charged him before
Justice Mikkelsen with disorderly
conduct. The justice' found the de
fendant guilty and fined him $5 and
costs. The mob told the justice that
he had to remit Schneider's fine and
be quick about it, declaring he
would either hand back the fine and
costs or they would burn his estab
lishment. Justice Mikkelsen, fearing the
mob, handed back the money.
"It is fair to the citizens of Kene
saw," said the county attorney, "to
say that none of the rioters are resi
dents of the village. All live in the
country outside." The county at
torney was told by the citizens of
Kenesaw that they did not . blame
the show company in any manner,
paying the members had conducted
a respectable amusement enterprise
and had not been quarrelsome.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. 12. The demo
cratic propaganda committee, which
had for its object the knocking out
of the new code law by an appeal
to the people through the referen
dum, and which the court decided
was not conducted according to law,
is still active and through various
sources at its command is endeavor
ing to convince the people that the
code law is all wrong.
The latest appears in an Omaha
paper ot democratic persuasion,
which under a Lincoln date line
makes the charge that there is no
appropriation to pay employes
working under the code law. It
charges that the legislature when it
appropriated the "unexpended bal
ances under the old law for the use
of the departments under the code,''
did an unconstitutional act and calls
attention to section 22 of the consti
tution, which reads as follows:
"No money shall be drawn from
the treasury except in pursuance of
a specific appropriation made by
law and no money shall be diverted
from any appropriation made for
any purpose or taken from any fund
whatever either by joint or separ
ate resolution of the legislature."
Provided By Legislature.
The weakness of the contention
of the article that a specific appro
priation must be made and that no
money can be diverted comes in the
fact that the appropriation wa
made for the purpose of carrying on
these departments and will still be
used to carry on the departments.
The departments are still working
but have been reorganized under the
code and under different names, but
they are still performing the work
for which the appropriations were
made by the legislature.
The appropriation bill which cov
ered the matter states that "all un
expended balances of funds herein
appropriated for any office, depart
ment or building or improvement,
position, clerical hire, office expense
or other purpose, when Senate File
No. 2 (the code bill) becomes effec
tive, are hereby appropriated to the
respective departments which, under
Senate File No. 2, will administer or
discharge the duties and functions
now administered or discharged by
the officers or employes for which
appropriations were made by this
act"
The voting of unexpended bal
ances of a department for the use
of that department has always been
done by the legislature, and in the
voting of the unexpended balances
of the departments at the time the
new code went into effect, to the
use of the same department, reor
ganized under the code law, is con
stitutional and something not at all
new.
Start Another Roorback.
The opposition to the new code
sprung another roorback on the ad
ministration the other day through
one of its sources of publicity, to
the pffnrt that the eovernor and the
law enforcement department and
state officers were purchasing mile
age books and in many instances,
especially in the case of the gov
prnnr arm the law enforcement de
partment, was keeping no record of
the use made by the holders.
The law says that any department
using mileage books shall keep a
record showine the number of the
book, name of the person using the
same, date of purchase, points be
tween which mileage is used and
the distance actually traveled.
This is being done in each depart
ment and in the department of law
enforcement a very complete rec
ord is kept open to inspection to
the public at all times as is the
mrh in all denartments. The
charge of use of mileage books
without keeping a record of the
same according to law is not cor
rect and the records so disclose.

uninjured.

that if they were given proper pro

not have occurred., .
