LINCOLN LOCAL NOTES.
1t was officially announced in the Catholic
churches here yesterday that the differences
existing for some time between Bishop
Bonacum and several of the priests had been
settled to the satisfaction of both factions
An invest lgation proves this to be true. The
trouble grew out of the alleged tyranny
OF the bishop in removing his priests in
an arbitrary manner At one time Bishop
Bonacum was in the police court charged
with criminal libel growing out of the
communication of one of the priests. The
cases have been several times reviewed by
Delegates Satolli and Martneli, once tried
Dubuque. and once reviewed by the pope
at Rome.
By the final settlement both sides make
concessions. Fathers Fitzgerald and Murphy
the most aggressive of those in opposition
to the bishop, are well provided for. The
former Is given a good charge at Grafton
and the latter will go to Seward. These
assignments are subject to the approval of
Mgr. Martinelli.

f. l.. Rose, who achieved some notoriety
last fall by claiming to have called and held
a republican state convention in this city
is again before the public, Last Friday he
secured a license to marry Miss Julia Smith
but when he went to her home her parents
refused to admit him. He appealed to the
sheriff and the result was that the lady
sent a note by the official saying she had
changed her mind and did not want to
marry Rose. The romance eliminated in a
wedding in Justice Lease court a few
minutes after midnight last night Miss
Smith says her parents coerced her into
writing the note to Rose. In which she
refused him. The bride is 10 years old
while Rose is 40 and has two or three
children.
