A NEBRASKA SENSATION.
MISS MINNIE FREEMAN's HERolsM
CALLED IN QUESTION.

The oficial Organ of the State Teachers
Association Says the Story of Miss Free
mans Blizzard Experience Was an Fab
Observation-Disclosures Lover.
HASTINGS, Neb., April 27.-The Ga.
Z~ette-Journal says: A most singular and
astounding revelation, if true, has just
been made to the public by the Nebraska
Teacher for April, a monthly journal
known as the 'sofficial organ of the State
Teachers association" an advanced
number of which lie brought early to the
attention of the Gazette-Journal, because
the mechanical work of the educational
paper is executed in this establishment.
The statement is sensational in its char
acter and will doubtless cause a further
investigation to be mace concerning the
information given. The Teachers arti-
Gle is as follows:
"All are familiar with the story going
the rounds of the press in regard to the
heroism of Miss Freeman, o teacher of
Howard county, Nebraska, during the
storm in January last. Thousands of
teachers whose hearts beat in sympathy
for her on hearing the thrilling story of
her efforts to save her pupils, and many
more who have given their money freely
for a supposed worthy object, will be
panied to hear that this story is a fabri-
cation, but such is the case, and we have
the evidence before us to prove the asser-
ton. A telegraph operator, who is her
lover, wired the Omaha Bee the deeds of
his visionary heroine, and all know the
rest. Had she Immediately corrected
this, report she would now be. considered
one of the 5000 sensible teachers of our
state. The people Of her county urge
her to do this vet, and stop receiving the
money which is still being sent to her.
1.-THE facts come to us that the roof of
her school house did not blow off, she
did not tie her pupils together with a
rope, string, OF handkerchief, as she had
none of these. There were sixteen pu-
pills instead of thirteen, and two of the
ones escorted her home, and says
she would have persisted but for them.
Her parents are wealthy-not poor, as
reported.
aWe give this because it is our duty,
and we do not wish to shrink from shield
ing q public sympathy from such gross
lmpositions.3

Tho Yaqui indian war.

NoaA1Es, Ariz,, April Ex-Governor
Corral, ofsonora, Mexico, left Hormosillo,
accompanied BY number of the state
officials and a large party of troops, for
the Yaqui river. The general opinion is
that his visit to the Yaqui country has
something to Go with future move
ments of troops In the effort to end
the Yaqui war, which seems to
be gaining in Importance every day.
There is hardly a day now that the
troops do not have q brush with the foe,
and the ranks of the Indians seem to be
getting thicker instead of thinner. It is
believed that the governor and state off,
Gals intend to hold q conference with
the military officers now in the field, and
others in the different garrisons, for the
purpose Of deyising some means, il posi-
bic, Of bringing the present troubles Of
war to an end.
