Convention Will Be Se
lected in Counties
With Contests.
Lincoln, Sept. 15. (Special. )
Primaries will be held in 24 legisla
tive district! in Nebraska today to

Lancaster county will have a pri
mary, but there will be none in
Douglas county.
Under the law providing for the

Indians Fight in Courts
for Possession of Lands
Lincoln, Sept. 15. (Specials
One of the cases heard by the state
supreme court at the opening of the
fall term was that of the state ex
rel Nellie Chase against District
Judge Guy T. Graves, involving the
possession of a tract of Indian land
in Thurston county.
The plaintiff was represented in
the argument by her husband, a well
known Indian lawyer, who attended
one of the large eastern universities.
She is now in possession of the land,
but Gertrude Stubblefield claims it
by virtue of a lease from the widow
of Reuben Wolf, to whom it was al
lotted. The Chases allege that they
have a lease from Wolf, executed in
his lifetime.
The federal Indian bureau, which
has decided in favor of Mrs. Stub-
i hlefield, was represented by District
Attornev T. S. Allen, who appeared
! for her.' v
Make No Arrangements to
Electrocute Convicted Men
.Lincoln, Sept. 15. (Special.)
Although next Friday is the date set
for the electrocution of Allan V.

he would grant a reprieve until
Cole's habeas corpus suit, now pend
ing in the supreme court, is heard.
Cole's attorney, acting on this as
surance, has not asked the supreme
court to advance the case.
Warden Fenton said he did not
expect to install permanent equip

leal executions, but if things ever
come to a head with respect to
Grammer and Cole he will employ
someone from outside the state to
come and to bring' his own apparatus.

HOLD INNOCENT
MAN IN JAIL HERE
ON THEFT CHARGE
Dakotan Finally Released
.When He Is Not Identi
fied by Omahan.
Joe Stocker, Hayti, S. D., was re
leased from the city jail yesterday
after he had heen hrought to
Omaha from the South Dakota town
on the charge of having stolen a
pair of trousers belonging to C. L.
Nethaway, '8013 North Thirtieth
street, the night -of June 2. Mr.
Nethaway was unable to identify
Mr. Stocker, who is believed to be
the victim of peculiar circumstances.
Stocker was brought to Omaha
on a warrant sworn out by Mr.
Nethaway against Godfrey Paravic,
alias George Carter, alias Joe Stock
er. Upon investigation it was learned
that Godfrey Paravic alias George
Carter is not Joe Stocker.
Paravic is the man wanted for
the offense, while Stocker is said
to have been brought innocently
into the case through writing love
letters, by permission of Paravic,
alias Carter, his pal, to 15-year-old
Daisy Rittcr, Route 9, Box 38, Flor
ence, Neb.
Fascinated by Picture.
Following the robbery of Mr.
Nethaway's home, Paravic went to
South Dakota, where he became ac
quainted with the farmer boy, Joe
Stocker. Paravic corresponded with
the Ritter girl under his own name
and also that of George Carter. In
fatuation for the Ritter girl through
seeing her pioture led Stocker to
ask permission of Paravic to corre
spond with her also.
ftr. Nethaway learned that Para
vic was the man who is said to have
robbed hi home. Upon learning
that Daisv .Ritter received letters
from men named Paravic, Carter
and Stocker, he swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Godfrey Paravic,
alias George Carter, alias Joe
Stocker.
Detective Solves Puzzle.
It was not until Detective Payl
Haze went to JIayti. S. D., to get
the prisonef that the puizle was
solved. Godfrey Paravic had 'al
ready left Hayti. but upon the tele:
graphic order of Mr. Nethaway,
Stocker, nevertheless, was brought
to Omaha. Police are unable to
understand how Mr. Nethaway ob
tained a warrant for grand larceny
on the loss of a pair of trousers.
