Old Cattle Thief Caught.

NEIGH. Seb.. Sept. 2s.-Withis
the last week t~hirty-fve fat cattle have
been stolen from Huffman IL ROllin's
cast feed yards. The loss was discov-
cred Wednesday night. At first no
clue could be obtained, but finally sus-
picion pointed to a man who had been
working at different times during the
summer at the Deloit and upper and
lower Neigh ranches " Huffman K
Rollins and he was arrested. 1t was
apparent from the circumstances that
some n thoroughly acquainted with
h premises must have been connected
with the stealing and the man told
conflicting stories regarding his where
sbouts the last few days. Finally
Sheriff Brainard showed Mr.. Huffman
a photograph OF q mar wanted for
cattle stealing In Lincoln county and

LINCOLN. Neo., Sept. 25.-A deci-
sion Of interest TO people connected
with building and loan associations
Is found In the case OF the Interstate
Savings and Loan associations, appel
lee, against Hattie 3. Strins. The
contention OF the association in this
case was that the usury Law was not
applicable to either foreign or domes-
tic corporations Of the class to which
/: belongs. That building and loan as
sociations, incorporated under the
laws Of Nebraska, are not affected by
the statute against usury has been set
tied beyond controversy. the court
holds, but in other cases it has been
ruled that foreign corporations are not
within the provision Of section 9 of
the act Of 1891, that being the clause
under which the exemption was
claimed. The syllabus in this case Is
that: Foreign building and loan as
sociations doing business in this state
are. on their usurlous contracts, SUBJ
iect to the penalties OF the statute
against usury."
