PENDEk, Neb.. July 1.-Two Of
Capt. Beck's Indian police are 10 the

Of the Omabas. The crime occurred

People from the reservation will call

A Writ Issued to Nobody.
The Law Set at Naught by
an Angry Judge.

COLUMBIA, July 14-lt is very
likely that in the course of week
or two Mr.. John McMaster, who is
the attorney of Sheppard, sentenced
to the Penitentiary by Judge Town.
send for contempt, will take some
legal steps to get his client out Of
prison. Exactly what line he pro.
poses to follow to accomplish this
purpose has not yet been determined,
but it is probable that the case will
be taken to the United States Courts.
Mr.. McMaster is very confident that
if the matter can be brought to that
Court Sheppard will be released.
In connection with the arrest Of
Sheppard by the ccnstabes an inte-
resting legal point has been raised
as to the right of the constables to
make arrest under such circumstan-
ces. Judge Townsend in issuing the
order of arrest directed it to no one,
but left that blank. AS a matter Of
fact the papers were given to Consta
BILE Speed, who is the chief of the
force here, to serve upon Sheppard.
The statute in reference to such mat
ters provides that every writ that
issues out of the Circuit Court must
be issued under the seal of the clerk
of the Court and directed to the
sheriff This being SO ie is held that
Constable Speed and his men had
absolutely no right TO arrest Shep-
pard, and that they are liable for
damages and a criminal prosecution.
1t is not known, however, whether
this will be made a feature of the
proposed appeal or not.-Neus and
Courier.

There will be heavy deficit toward the

goods to conduct municipal institutions

The city now has ali outstanding iudebt-
