FROM THE STATE CAPITAL,
A Standard Street Railway Official Denies
Statements Made by Driver
NOT FORCED TO BUY LOTS,
A Damage Suit for Five Thousand
Dollars Filed Against the City
of fIincoln-Trying 20 Keep
out Of the Pen.


"Somc of the things he said, however are
untrue. We don't force our drivers TO buy
lots. or course we have a number for sale
and have offered them to our drivers to invest
their money, and quite number have dono
so. The reason so many men have quit is not
because they would not buy lots from us, but
because we would not raise their wages from
$50 to $40 per month. I'll give 800 TO any
man in our employ who will come to us and
say the ethings he has said to you. That one
legged fellow we let out was very saucy
While we were making arrangements TO sell
a lot to another driver he broke in with tho
remark that he wouldn't buy a lot simply to
hold his job. We hadn't asked him to buy.
The reason we discharged him was because
he could not do the work properly"
WANTS $1,000 FROM THE CITY.
IT will be remembered that Clark ID, Gil.
lespe, whose six-yearold son was run over
and killed by the ladder truck driven by
Peter Keyllendall sued the city last Eebru-
ary for $1,000, claiming that there was no oc-
cason for keykendall driving so fast, as he
was simply exercising the horses and was not
going to fire. He also declared that there
was no brake or Lock or other contrivance
with which the wagon could be checked in its
speed. Despite these CLAIMS the action was
dismissed in the lower court. But Mr.. Gil
on in that manner and today he appealed the
case to the supreme court
DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE PEN.
Albert Grentzinger, who was sentenced to
serve four years in the state ponitentiary for
horse stealing last March in the session Of
the district court of Richardson county, is
| trying to save himself from this fate and to-
| day filed a petition in the supreme court ask
| ing for a reversal of the decree that he may
| go free and ply his profession elsewhere.
the judge who sentenced Grcutzinger TO the
| pen made the mistake of not defining the
| word larceny to the jury at the time of his
| instructions, and the fact of his falling to
| add the words "uulawfully, willfully and
| felOniously'' to his instruction, that it was
| only necessary TO convict by proving that the
| defendant, beyond reasonable doubt had
| stolen the property described in the indict-
| lnCnt.
| ARRESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMENT.

his work just right of late and when he

| StultZ called him all the vile names he could
| think Of. Herbertz stood it as long as he
| could and then kicked the fellow out. StulN
retaliated by causing Herbertz's arrest on
! the charge of assault. Herbertz willingly
! paid fine Of 81 aud costs as he had mean
| while discoyered something about Stultzs
| accounts that he had been suspicioning for

would aggregatea considerable sum and it
