ONEILL, Neb., Jan. 3.-The famous
embezzlement case of Barrett Scott,
defaulting treasurer of Holt county,
eliminated in what is believed here to
be the lynching Of Scott by vigilantes
of the northern part of the county. He
was captured at midnight in lonely
part Of the county, north of this city.
He was returning with his wife, baby,
hired man, John Schmidt, and Miss
McWharter from a trip to relatives

covering the carriage with Winches-
tiers, ordered Scott to surrender Scott

Scott. Schmidt was released, with the
injunction to
Get Out of the Country.

hanged, as the farmers of the county
are terribly incensed over his work.

fight made against his extradition, his

story was told to the coroner's jury
concerning the death Of Ed Sever
son, who was shot at Mark Wads-
worth's ranch on Dec. 81. The boy,
Fred Roehm, a bright l6-year-old lad,
who has been in custody for several
days, suspected of the murder, had
made partial confession to Clerk Of
the Court Foley. To the coroner's
jury he made a clean breast of it, and
said that his employer, Wadsworth,
took him in the early dawn into the
barn and promised the boy 5000 to
shoot Severson. He told him
When to Pull the Trigger
and the deed was done. The story was
dramatic and told by the boy quietly
and clearly. but he burst into tears
when the climax was reached. Wads-
worth himself followed the boy and de-
MED the whole story. Wadsworth is
partially paralyzed, and the boy says
the old man could not pull the trigger

FOREST RESERVATIONS.
There Will BE Fight on the House Meas

There Will BE Fight on the House Meas
ure in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Jan 3.-Considarable
interest has been manifested in the
West over the prospect Of the passage
OF the bill for the protection Of forest
reservations, and Il mas become evident
since the Dill passed the house, that
1t will encounter no inconsiderable OPP
position IN the senate. The bill, when
1t f1rst went into the senate, was re-
ferred to the committee on public
lands, but the reference was changed
afterwards, and it then went to the
committee On forest reservations, of
which Senator Alien of Nebraska is
chairman. The necessity of proper
care of the forests for the preservation
OF the timber and the conservation of
the water supply in all the arid noun
tain states and territories is generally
admitted, even by those who oppose
the pending bill, but they contend that
the selections of land for such reserva-
lions as have been made
Were Made Hastily
without an adequate understanding of
the conditions provided. They assert
that mary Of the reservations are far
more extensive than they need be, and
that they operate to prevent the settle
ment OF large areas of country, which
might otherwise become productive.
1t is asserted by them that timber
only holds the snow in the higher
mountainous regions, and that many
OF the reservations made, especially in
Colorado, California and Wyoming,
extend to regions where the snow does
not lie at all There is also objection
to the principle Of using the standing
army as a guard for the reservation.
Probably the objection to placing the
privilege Of cutting timber within the
discretion Of the secretary of the inte-
rior, which was made in the house,
will also be revived in the senate.

The Blue Earth City Post furnishes
an argument on the subject of free
coinage Of silver mt 16 to that is
commended to the consideration OF
wellto-do farmers in other sections of
the country. There are thousand
farmers aud workingmcn in that
vicinity who have $500, 900 of their
earnings deposited in the banks of
that town. The free coinage OF
silver at 10 to l would enable the
bankers to buy up silver at about 50
cents on the dollar and have it coined
and pay off their depositors. OF
course, it will be claimed that with
free coinage silver would rise in value.
Well, perhaps it would; it might rise
SO that enough to make a bollar would
cost 50 OF 10 cents, Temporarily, but AS
soon us it began to rise all the silver
Oh the world would be rushed into this
country, and there is no reason to be-
Iieve that it would maintain much of
iii advantage over the present figure
The bankers would make a good thing
out of that transaction. The free
coinage of silver would be a good snap
Tor banks holding large deposits OF
their peoples money, and one might
naturally expect the bankers to favor
free coinage. And they probably
would-a great many OF them-if it
wasn't for the fact that they have
sense enough to know that in the long
run it wouldn't pay to rob the people
like that. They know that it wouldn't
be three months till the same people.
who are today denouncing the "crime
OF 10 would be bowling about the
conspiracy Of the bankers to secure
free coinage and thus rob their de-
positOrs OF large share Of their hard
earned savings.
