During the progress of the trial of Katie
Ouinlan yesterday the testimony of Reddy
Wilson became necessary, ard Judge Chap
man issued the necessary orders upon War
den Hopkins. 1t was not obeyed, however,
70 suit the taste of the court, and service for
nrraignment for contempt was run upon him.
But he appeared this morning and made sat
isfactory explanation to the judge, and his
action in the matter was formally excused.
He stated in substance, that he had conferred
with his superiors, and was ready now or at
any time to obey The mandate of the court.
Mike Quinlan, the last of the gang OF
(which he is said to have been the head, has
been on trial for burglary since early morn
ing. The state made its case this forenoon,
resting in brief at the dinner hour our,
be submitted and the other cases
to the jury this afternoon. The success OF
the defense in Kates' case leads to the be-
lief that Mike will get on with q light SEN
coin seemed to think that both the husband
end wife were doomed for the pen for SER
les of years, and the finding OF the jury last
night was the source of considerable sur
road to travel, and it is hardly possible that
ne will be acquitted, yet his lawyers are
making determined fight for his liberty.
He is certainly on the ragged edge.

Che life of her child is not well grounded 1t
Is true, however, that she made some unnat-
ural threats, in moment of violent passion,
but this IS all there is to the story. The court
would not have been satisfied, 1t Is said. to
have let her off with sentence or thirty days
in the county Jail, had she boon guilty OF an at
tempt upon the life of her offspring. Harring-
ton is not blameless In this unfortunate his
tory, and Mary's actions have been looked upon
with great deal of leniency, But it goes
without saying that the scenes Of to-day and
last evening have been rather spicy in and
about the court room. Still they are without
tragedy or anything bordering that way.

POINTER TO SHIPPERS.
81 am surprised remarked q prominent
lawyer of Lincoln, to-day, ''that some OF our
shippers don't get after the state board OF
transportation, on the question OF rates, and
compel 1t to act The ruinous charges made
py tue roaus IN tne state LOT lrelkut traus-
portation is such that decided action is war
ranted."
SHOW can II be donel" queried THE BEE
representative.
"Why, any shipper can go before the
board, setting up proper complaint, show
the iustness OF the Iowa rates and the ine-
quality existing between that state and this,
80 far as freight charges are concerned, and
then II the board refuses TO act go before the
supreme court and commence an action in
mandamus. I'll wager q silk tile that will
bring matters TO focus. II is an easy thing
10 give connected history Of freight rates
