MAY NOT HAVE BEEN LYNCHED.
The Story OF the Nan Thrown Into the
Quieksands Discredited.

Omaha. Neb.. Jan Private dis
patches received here from O'Neul. the
county seat Of Holt county. are mani-
nous in the opinion that the so-called
abduction of Scott. the defaulting county
treasurer. was for theatrical effect. Scott
is under $4,000 bonds pending decision
of his case in the supreme court and il
is believed that the abduction story was
gotten up 10 relieve his boncsmen of re-
sponsibility and afford him a chance 10
get out of the county. People who are
familiar with the neighhoFhood of % Nell
believe that Scott has crossed the Mo
brara and Missouri rivers and gone north
into the Indian country in South Da-
kota. where he will be practically safe
from detection or pursuit.
O'Nein, Neb., Jan. .. 1880 p. m.-Sherim
Hamilton and the twelve deputies who
left for the scene of the alleged Scott alb
duction and lynching have not returned.

cartridges TO town which they found on
the ground. The excitement is subsiding.

Edward Hershiser, eX-county sheriff, left
this morning for the scene. Mr.. Scott
recognized the leader and before he was
taken from the carriage WHISPERED his
name to his wife, who has in all probable
ity informed Aiken who he is.

KENTUoKY's sENAToRsH1P.
Senator Blackburn Has a Hard Fight
on His Hands.

Louisville. KY. Jan. 2.-The senatorial
race promises to be unusually interesting
Messrs. Buckner and Brown have de-
clared themselves in favor of a conven-
ton nomination. Whether this would be
regarded as binding by the legislature
is a matter of speculation.
1t is generally conceded that Senator
Blackburn has got to make a fight. Rep
resentative Breckenridge is working
against him and what makes it more un-
favorable for Mr. Blackburn is that his
home counties lie in the Ashland district,
where the embers Of the Breckenridge
fire are stin smoldering.
Mr.. McCreary is identified less with any
Of the factions and appears to be strong
factor in the race. Messrs. Buckner and
Brown viii enter the race drawing from
each others territory and there is prob
ably less feeling between these two can
didates than exists between any Of the
others,

hears from Vienna that Tahien Pasha,
