ARRESTED.
. Stranger Held in Bolivar to
Answer the Charge of
Obtaining Money
Falsely.

L. f.. Skinner, who has been on
a visit to relatives of his wife In
Bolivar for the past month. was
arrested by Marshal Perry and
Constable Darlington yesterday up
on kilograms and letters received
from Colorado, which stated that
the aforesaid Skinner is wanted at
Monte Vista, COL, for obtaining
money under false pretenses from
the State Bank of that place,
The Bank authorities we're at once
wired that Skinner was in custody,
and asked for Instructions, but up
to the time of gong to press,
nothing further has transpired in
regard to the matter. Skinner has
employed Frank Fentress to rep
resent him.
A reporter of this paper inter-
viewed Skinner yesterday afternoon
and he claims that he is innocent of
the charge. He states that at one
time he did borrow about eleven
hundred dollars from the Monte
Vista bank, but he gave as secur~
ity a trust on 1000 cross ties,
whose value amounted to consider
able over the money borrowed. and
he also states that the ties were his
own property, paid for and unen"
numbered. He furthermore states
that the money was not to be re-
turned until the 1st of July and
he cannot understand why the
bank has taken such action.
Skinner is a brother in law of
Mrs. Robert Ramsey. whom he has
been visiting here. He is a man OF
more than ordinary intelligence-in
fact is unusually sharp and
well posted. He has made arrange
ments to go into business in this
county and expects to open a a
Icon at Salisbury, having already
bought his stock of liquors. He

On last Thursday night, the
postoffice at this place, located in
j. T. JoYner's grocery store, was
robbed of FIVE dollars in money and
seven dollars worth of ten cent
stamps. Mr.. Joyner thinks that
perhaps seventy-fve cents or a
dollar In small change was taken
from his money drawer. The
thief is supposed TO have secreted
himself in the store before the door
was locked, as there are no indicas
tions to show that he broke into the
building. The morning after the
robbery, the front door was open,
through which 1t is thought the
perpetrator escaped. The door,
when locked, could be easily opened
from the INSIDE by raising the bolt.

Stolen Fruits.

The Republican politicians have OBJ
tanned another Governorship without
the consent of the people. A partisan
court has determined, upon techni-
cal point involving his naturalization,
that JAMES T.. BOYD cannot be Cover
nor of Nebraska, although the people
of the State elected him to the office
by plurality of r,r44, but that JOHN
Nj. THAYER must remain the chief ex-
ecutive of the State, although he was
not a candidate for reelection and re-
ceived no votes
Without reference to the legal mer-
its of the controversy, no one will re-
gard this decision as anything but par
tisan and as one more testimony to
the universally Of the desire of the
Republican party to take advantage of
every opportunity to defeat the popu-
lar will
Nebraska is the victim of the same
dishonorable and unpatriotic tactics
that have deprived the people of their
choice for Senators in Montana, for
Governor in Connecticut and New
Hampshire, and are about to give to
Rhode Island Governor who received
fewer votes than were cast for his Dem
ocratic opponent. And all these rob
berries rest in the baleful shadow of
the Presidential steal of 1871 World.

monopolies and an enemy to the poor.
Then the Kisses rose, and several of
the delegates wanted to say a good
word for the abused senator. But the
speaker claimed the floor and she con.
tinued to talk until she had drawn a
rather unpleasing picture of her sub
iect. Then she declared that the meet
ing was trying to throttle free speech,
and, having said this, she sat down.
The sequel to the episode was an at
tempt on the part of Mrs. Lease (the
speaker in question: to call on Senator
Ingalls,. But the latter refused to see
her, sending word that women and
Indians are the only persons | know of
who desire TO scalp their dead" All
this is unfortunate, although decidedly
breezy. 1t is an evidence, however,
of the feeling in Kansas against Senator
Ingalls,. -
IT is reported that the executors and
resduary legatees under the will of the
late Daniel b. Fayerweather of New
York have made an agreement by
which nearly the whole of the residuary
estate, amounting to about $1,000 900,
is to be added to the 50 900 600 and
more already given by will to educa-
tional and charitable institutions. This
is indeed good news-almost too good
to be believed. The best thing about
these Faverweather requests is that
they are given to well-established in
stitutions, which are in condition to
make the best possible use of the
money. If the agreement is carried
out, almost the entire fortune of the
deceased philanthrop!st will be devoted
to higher education. Mr.. Fayerweather
was not rich man as rich men go now,
but his is the largest bequest of the
kind made in this country since those
of George Peabody and Johns Hop
kins. For his good sense and generos-
ity, he should be given due credit. But
this act of broad minded munificence
is chiefly remarkable because of its un-
usual character. A man of few mil
lions leaves it all to educational insti-
tutions, and every one talks about it..
This would not be the case if the men
who are worth 1875 900 900, $50, 900 900,
and even 500 1000 900, occasionally left
large fraction of their fortunes to
these objects. The rich men of the
country, it is to be feared, are not doing
all they ought to do in this line.
