LINCOLN, Neb., June 2I-The Catho-
lie troubles in the Lincoln diocese,
which seemed TO have been recently
allayed by the agreement which Bishop
Bonacum was compelled by Mgr Sa-

by the quarrel between Bishop Bona
cum and Father Lochran, vice rector
OF st. Theresa's cathedral, which re-
suited in the dismissal of the latter
from the diocese.
The priest refused to write at the
bishops dictation letter to Satolli on
the bishops behalf. The bishop prom
iscd that II he would do 80 he would
make him the foremost man in the do
cesc Lochran replied that he was not
the archbishop's private secretary, at
which Bonacum grew angry, ordering
the priest to leave the room and told
him to prepare to receive his exeat.
The priest found his exeat ON his door
step. Lochran is very popular here
aud his dismissal has created intense
excitement among Catholics here.
