THROUGH THE Laws DELAY.

A Nebraska Man Serves His Sentence
Before His Case IS Nolled.
BEATRICE, NEB.. March ia case of
peculiar interest and one seldom equaled
was made public here yesterday through a
decision OF the supreme court. About two
years ago r. C. Childs of this county was
convicted and sent to the penitentiary for
two years on charge of grand larceny.
Yesterday, after long delay, the supreme
court rever ed the decision of the lower
courts, and this evening Childs was brought
here by Warden Malone. The case against
the prisoner was nolled and his release or
dered.
Childs had but two days Of his sentence
uncompleted when his release came and the
probable geffect is exciting considerable
comment. During his incarceration and
while being worked on an ice field the
prisoner sustained broken leg which, it is
claimed, crippled him for life. The last
fact will be made the basis for suit for
heavy damages against the prison con-
tractor. Tho outcome of the case 10 being
closely watched.

ORDERED Up.

Insur ance Rates Throughout the
West Will Be Advanced at Once.
OMAHA. NEB., March 13.-Insurauce rates
all over the west have been ordered up.
Christ Hartman, compact manager of the
fire insurance companies doing business in
Omaha, has received peremptory orders
from the officials in charge Of this division
to advance rates at once, to take no new
business at present rates, and TO get rid of
the old business as rapidly as possible. This
order hBs been considered necessary in
order TO get rates back to something like
what they were when the old COM
pact was broken In Omaha last Ooto-
Der and insurance was taken by rival firm
at any figure obtainable. All the old sores
have been healed however, and all of the
companies doing business in Omaha ar 9
members of the new compact, of which Mr..
Hartman Is manager.
Once during the war last fall insurance was
written for 25 cents, and while the business
men got the benefit the local agents and
their companies took risks that would have
oankrupted them, so they claim, had they
experienced any big losses. This Is now a
thing of the past, and future fire risks in
Omaha will be written at a rate which will
give the insurance companies a chance to
live
