A Damage Case Dismissed.

The damage case of Mrs. Augusta
Lindstrom against James T. Smith was
called this afternoon. The complaint
fled in the case alleged that Mr. Smith
on the night of Feb. IS, 1895, did vio-
lently wrench and twist the neck of
the plaintiff, Mrs. Lindstrom The
case was commenced last fall, consid-
eraDly over year after the occurrence,
and in fact none of the people present
at that time knew OF any such thing
happening until the suit for $500 dam
ages was commenced. When the case
was called Mr.. Smith had his Witness
es and attorney A. E. Hitchcock there
already for the trial, but it got no fur
ther. Mr.. Crow, Mrs. Lindstrom's s
attorney, stated that they could not
proceed with the trial on account of
not having their witnesses present. In
conversation with several of the wit
nesses, who were present at the time,

Lytle Was Found Guilty.

From Fridays Daily.
The defense 10 the Lytle case rested
last night after putting two Witnesses
on the stand TO refute the evidence Of
fered by the state and while Mr.. Spang-
Ter had but little evidence in favor OF
his client he used it to the very best
advantage and made a strong appeal
before the jury this morning. In pre-
senting the states evidence Mr. Win
sor and Mr.. Mohr had everything
down to nicely and IL was a difficult
matter to get around the proof, for
there was no question but what Lytle
did the cutting and there were several
witnesses who saw the act committed
Judge Smith read his charge to the
jury just before noon and shortly after
l o'clock they brought in a verdict of
guilty. 1t required but one ballot to
discover that each juryman was of the
same opinion. Lytle will receive his
sentence Monday morning. There be-
ing no more jury cases Judge Smith
discharged the jury from further duty
at court. There are few court cases
to be heard. Judge Smith will go to
Chamberlain Monday, where he will
hear the case against DR., Hammill,
who attempted to shoot Rev. Mr. Jen,
ney during the winter.

Last year the Modern woodmen in the
vicinity OF Omaha formed a Picnic %associa-
ton, the object OF which was to arrange
for and hold annual picnics at some con-
venient point within the jurisdiction Of the
association, where the membership might
get together. enjoy themselves and get ac-
q%uainted and stir up enthusiasm among the
members. The name given to the associa-
ton was the Omaha District Log Rolling
association" The first annual picnic Of the
association was held at Blair, July %, 1896,
and over 5000 Modern Woodmen and their
families and friends were present. At the
meeting 1t was decided to hold the second
annual picnic at Fremont, Neb.
The officers of the association have de-
cided to hold the picnic at Fremont on
Wednesday, August is, and the arrange
ments arc being made for a large gathering,
The neighbors OF Fremont are arranging a
program for the day which will make the
occasion one of enjoyment as well as of
instruction. Speakers, prominent in the
society, have been engaged to address the
membership present, A large number of
bands will be on hand to make the day
musical, besides there will be prize drills
by the Fcresters from various camps, and
also an athletic program with numerous
contestants.
The Woodmen of the Omaha and South
Omaha camps have appointed committees to
" ! vi NV i"AitB AAAi'b W 'bN 49,
ern WoOdmen from this vicinity and also
To secure Music and make other arrange
ments. The members from Council BUNS
with their finely uniformed team of For
esteTs will accompany the Omaha and South
Omaha Woodmen, and thereby swell the at
tendance and add interest to drills. The
fare to the picnic is very favorable to the
Omaha people, and that fact alone Will be
q strong point in favor of a large attendance.
The route has not been finally decided
upon. but 1t will be announced In due
time.
Log rolling picnics are one Of the strong
est features of the Modern Woodmen of
America to work up the enthusiasm of the
membership, get them together in large
gatherings and get them acquainted. On
some occasions there are in attendance from
Is, 900 to % 900 people, and there is hardly
a district of any size within the jurisdiction
of the society that has not It's picnic assocl-
alton. The rapid growth of the society Is
partially due to this one feature.
The August number of the official paper,
The Modern Woodinan, shows the totai
membership on June 30 to have been 252,-
or, and the number of certificates issued
for the month of June to be 5,OO2. AZ the
