Tames and Charles Tones, negro

given a collective sentence of 70
days in the county jail in Central po

cutting with intent to wound Luke

Fall's wounds were slight. ,
Lord Glenconner of Glasgow and
London, "peer of the realm and
member of ..the. British house of
lords, was in Omaha yesterday. Very
few of the hundreds of travelers
and others at the Burlington sta
tion, where he spent some 20 min
uttes, were'aware of their proximity
to nobility.. But he was here, never
theless, and with him were Lady
Glenconner and two strapping!

months in California. They are

bound Burlington train No. Z.'Their
immediate destination is Boston,
where they will remain four days
before embarking for England.
At the station Lady Glenconner
and the boys walked up and down
the platform for a few turns, un
recognized by the hurrying travelers
and the relatives and friends of those
who left the train. Lord Glen
conner would have liked to join
them but he was delayed.
Nothing to Say.
He was explaining to a lone re
porter that he really had nothing to
say. Nothing,; that Is, except that
Nebraska is quite the mosK beauti
ful country he had yet seen, and
the country, seemed sq flourishing
and the towns and cities so bustling
and prosperous. The weather, too,
was so bracing and the sunshine
so bright and pleasant. Nebraska
really had quite a fan in his lord
ship. The railroads of the country were
a different proposition, however,
and lacked the essential of privacy
found on the British roads. Car
