BOYD GUSTED.
BOYD GUSTE0.
The Nebraska Supreme Court
Renders a Decision
In the Boyd Thayer Quo War,
ranto Case.
The Latter Declared to be the
Legal Governor.

LINCOLN, May 5.-The Nebraska
supreme court today rendered a decision
IN the Boyd hayer quo warranto case,
ousting Boyd DEM, who at present holds
the office, and declaring Thayer, his Re
publican predecessor, the legal governor
of Nebraska. The opinion recites the
fact that Boyd was legally elected governor
OF Nebraska, but Is disqualified on the
ground of non citizenship. After quot
ing the constitutional provision relative
to aliens, the opinion proceeds to the
question of the successorship and dis
poses of the claims of Lieutenant
Governor Majors IN the following words.
Under section l of the constitution,
a person elected to the office Of governor
is entitled to discharge the duties and re-
ceive the emoluments of office for the term
Of two years from the first Thursday
after the first Tuesday in January fol-
lowing his election, and ustIl his success
sor is duly elected and qualified.
When the person receiving the
highest number Of votes for
the office of governor is ineligible,
under the constitution, to be elected. the
governor holds over. The duties Of the
chief executive Office OF the state devolve
upon the lieutenant governor in certain
contingencies, among which are failure
of the governor elect to quality and dis
ability of the governor. 1t cannot be
said that there has been failure to quail
iiy where no person has been constitu-
uonally elected to the office
a writ of custer was served on Gov
ernor Bovd, and his attorney, John ID.
Howe OF Omaha, went to the supreme
court to file a motion for a stay, but as the
Judgment had already been entered and
the writ served, it was too late. BOYD
accordingly turned over the office to Gov
ernor ThaYer, who had IN the meantime
taken the oath of office and filed his bond
The opinion was signed by Chief Jus,
tice Cobb and Justice Norval, Justice
Maxwell dissenting. 1t is stated that
Boyd will carry the case to the United
States supreme court The decision was
considerable of a surprise, 1t being thought
here that IN the event of Boyd's being
ousted Lieutenant Governor Majors
would be named az his successor.
Boyd's inellVibility consists in the fact
OF his father, who was a native OF ireland,
failed to ever perfect his citizenship in
this country and thus Boyd Is not an
American citizen.

PlTTsBURG, Pa. May 5.-The police
of Pittsburg have for two days been
wrestling with a mysterious case Of sup
posed attempted murder. The victim is
Miss Annie Louner. She is II years old
and lives at Squirrel Hill, a suburb of
this city. Her cousin, Jacob Louner,
with whom she lives, is a market gar
dener. He was preparing to start for
town with a load of truck at 3 O'Clock
SATURDAY morning, when he found Annie
lying upon an old sofa in the sitting room.
She had on only her night dress, which
was dripping with muddy water. Her
hair was matted with mud. She was
about half conscious and seemed not to
know where she was, and when brought
around she was in a sorry way. Her
nerves were badly shattered. What had
happened to her she did not know. About
> o'clock she said she found herself upon
the front porch, shivering with cold. She
tried to get into the house, but all the
doors and shutters on the first floor were
locked and barred. Then she went to
the cellar and crept upstairs to the
kitchen. She got as far as the sitting
room door. There her further progress
was barred by a locked door. That was
all she knew of the nights occurrence
A physician who was called certified
that Miss LOuner had not been assaulted.
The premises were PROMPTLY examined Tor
some clew to the mystery. Under the
front door a note was found. 1t STATED
that Miss Louner had been chlorOtoImed,
carried a mile away and dragged through
what is known as Succop's pond. Then
she was carried home and thrown on the
porch. The note was written in a dis
guised hand, apparently by a man.
There was nothing to show that the
house had been entered by anybody dur
ing the night or that any of the doors
had been unlocked. Mr., LOuner secuted
the suggestion that perhaps the young
woman had attempted suicide and re-
pented after she had gone into the water.
She herself denied this, and he never
had any reason to doubt her. Neither
did he attach much importance to the
theory of somnambulism, AS he had
never known the girl to walk in her sleep.
The family physician added to the
mystery by declaring hat he could fin
no trace of chlorUlorm. Tonight Miss
Louner's condition is so serious that none
but the attendants are admitted to the
room. The family think it a Case Of at
tempted murder though they say neither
they nor the girl have any known enemies,
The detectives who have been looking up
the affair refuse to express an opinion.

PORTLAND. Ore, May 5.-The early
part of the presidential party's Journey
today was made in a steady fall of rain.
THIS discouraging state Of affairs, how
ever, did not seem to dampen the enthu-
siasm of the people, and they paid the
chief magistrate every honor at each
place visited. The visit to Salem was the
principal event OF the forenoon. a stop OF
about an hour being made. The rain in
teriered with the programme somewhat,
as far as the children we're concerned.
There was a large procession of militia,
G. A. X. posts and citizens. The mayor
and Governor Penuoyer rode in a carriage
with the president to the state house,
where Mayor Darsey delivered an address
of welcome on behalf OF the city, and
Governor Pennoyer on behalf of the
state. The governor expressed sincere
regret that the president could not extend
his visit to other portions of the state
not included in the schedule. assuring
HIM that he would receive in all localities
a most hospitable greeting. The president
responded, expressing thanks for the
cordial reception. He said he had but
one message for the North. South, East
and West in his journey, and that was to
uphold the law and to say everywhere that
every man owes allegiance to it, and all
law-breakers must be left TO the deliberate
and safe judgment of an established
tribunal.

watch would keep good time for year. IL

Gen. Wilson and other officers dissuaded

they were therefore organized into regi-

stroyed, the banks were steep and muddy,
and temporary bridges had TO be built to get
