The NEBRASKA HORROR.
TAO Prisoners Taken From, the Sheriff c
Ctsstea- County and burned

Too Pftsoners Taken From the Sheriff of
c.sates- County u,st, Burned ts,e stake
Lincoln (Neb,) Special, Dec. ls.
Horror upon horror comes to us from the
western part of the State. To-day word was
arrested charge of numbering Sheriff
Stevens, of Custer county, had been burned at
a stake on Long river, Wednesday, by q
band of armed men. who took them in charge.
Stevens was killed by Mitchell last week while
attempting to arrest Mitchell and Ketchun ON
a charge Of cattle stealing, and after he had
shot hetchum Sheriff Gilien was sent back to
Custer county, and, when few miles from
Plum Greek, he was surrounded by a band of
armed men, who took the prisoners away from
him. Their bodies were found about one mile
from Long River yesterday, burned so that
they were scarcely recognizable. They had
evidently been hanged while in irons and
afterWard burned to crisp.
People hereabouts greatly excited over
the matter. Ketchum and Mitchell have al
ways been known pedceab:e and lava bid
Ing homesteaders, the latter being forty years
of age. 1t lis believed that the charge of cattle
stealing was trumped pagainst them. Stevens
and Ketchum were bitter enemies, and each
had sworn to Kill the other on sight. There is
evidence to prove that Stevens exceeded his au-
thority as an officer by shooting Ketcflum in
the arm while his back WAS turned and at the
time that he called upon him to surrender. 1t
Is a fact that Stevens real name is Olive, and
that he was criminal refugee from Texas,
where he was wanted for the murder of two
men.
The hanging and burning of Ketchum and
Mitchell would have disgraced the widest
band of Sioux or Cheyenne Indians on the con
tinent. Sheriff Gilien, of Heath county, is be-
heved to have understanding with the mob

THE BULGARIAY THRONE.

Il Russia shall, as it is rumored she will,
propose the Duke of Edinburgh for the
throne Of Bulgaria, that act will indeed bury
the Ratchet between the two great nations.
Bulgaria is new princlpality-a creation of
the war with Turkey. 1t is indebted to
Russia for it's existence, and we presume is
grateful for the boon conferred upon it, if
nations can be grateful. It is not only the
creation of Russia, but is now dependent
upon that power, and may in fact be de-
nominated principally of the Muscovite
empire. No prince can ascend its throne
without the consent of the car, and certain
~ no ruler hostile to Russian purposes could
long remain there. The suggestion, there
fore, that the second son of Queen Victoria
should be called to the throne of that
province is significant. It indicates that the
causes of difference between the two nations
have been amicably adjusted, and that here
after they will work in unity instead of as
heretofore, at cross purposes.
The Duke Of Edinburgh is young man
of somewhat eccentric turn of mind, as was
shown by his ecquiescence in the parliament
tary choice of Russian bride. He differs
radically from his elder brother in ternpera-
ment, being rather more phlegmatic than
mercurial. He has a natural taste for the
sea, and has spent the greater part of his
time for the past ten years on board of one
of his royal mothers vessels of war. He
has been progressing finely in the science of
navigation, and has nearly reached mas
ter's rank To tear him rudely from the
sea and place him upon an inland throne
would be rather unkind, but we presume he
would not complain seriously if ne was Civ
en- to understand that it was all for the bsst,
The trouble arising from the university of
the queens children, has long existed. What
to do with them has long been problem to
the British nation. Disraeli-beg pardon,
Beaconsfield suggested solution of
the problem by the appointment of the hus-
band of one of them to the governor gener-
alship of Canada. If the Duke of Edin-
burgh could ascend the throne of Bulgaria,
the Duke Of Connaught take charge of his
Irish cousins. and several others of the
princes and princesses obtain living away
from home, we have no doubt the British
people would be grateful and the burdens |
they have to bear considerably lishtened. I

PRACTICE BETTER THAN PREoEpr

How the Southern Courts are Working out
the Purposes of the Elaine Inrestiaa-
ton.
philadelphia Times
While all this talk has been GOING on in
the Senate, the United States court for the
district in which the most important Of the
alleged election frauds occurred, namely
South Carolina, has been at work in q bust
ness-like way, sitting the charges and at
tempting to find and punish the guilty par
ties. Thirteen cases were considered before
Judge Bond, Republican, and grand and
petit juries largely Republican and in part
colored, at Columbia. In not single case
was there verdict Of guilty, and the nearest
approach to conviction was made in three
mistrials. On the first mistsial, according
to the local reports, the jury stood eleven for
acquittal and one for conviction; on the sec
ond, eight for acquittai and four for con VIC
ton, and on the third, nine for acauittal and
three for conviction. In two cases in which
true bill was found, yerdicts Of not guilty
were rendered. Three cases were continued
and will go over to the sprinp
term of the circuit court. In three
most important cases "no bill'' came
from the grand jury. The charges
embrace nearly every kind Of violation of
the Federal election laws, except intimida-
ton by violence. There were arrangements
for repeating, obstructing and assaulting
United States deputy marshals, obstructing
and assaulting supervisors, failing to comply
with the duties of election officers, interfar r
ing with Republican meetings and conspir-
ing to interfere with Republican meetings.
Certainly, considering the size of the net
that was spread and the fneness of its
meshes. it Is a matter of surprise that no
