thorties in recent years, but in nearly
every case the vein has been too small to
be worked for profit.
The law provides that when 1t shall bl
made apparent to the governor of the state
by AFFIDAVIT that vein OF coal of not less
than twenty-six inches in depth and Of
sufficient capacity to pay to mine, and within
paying distance from the surface, person
shall be appointed to examine and report as
to the probable extent of the veins, all eX-
pcnse of the examination to be paid by the
claimant If the report is satisfactory to
the governor he may direct the auditor to
draw an order on the treasurer for $4,000
this to be paid to the owners of the mine
Fer a vein of iron ore one foot thick a re-
ward OF $1,000 is offered, and II the vein is

TEKAMAH NeS., Get IA CSpeclal.) Tho
defense in the Yeger murder trial today
opened by placing the defendant, Oscar
Yegcr, on the stand Yerger said he became
acquainted with Eggleton twelve or fifteen
years ago and had known the disputed road
to be Travelled more than nine years ago
and continuously since Last year he rented
fifty acres of land 10 Eggleton. Heger was
TO have onc-third Of the crop as rental bus
had trouble with Eggleton over division
OF the straw and Eggleton dared him to
come and get it. The day of the troubla
Ycger said he hitched UP his team to go
to town. He saw Eggeton plowing and
when he got opposite him stopped and told
him not to plow beyond the government
cornerstone ESgletCn replied that he would
plow there and began to swear at Yeger,
saying: II am going to do you up to a
! finish" Yeger said he got out Of his
wagon, unlocked the tugs of one OF the
horses and took off the singetree and, with
the singletree in his right hand, went to
the government cornerstone and ordered
Eggleton off the land Yeger declared he
had been advised by counsel to do this in
order to keep Eggleton from getting legal
! right to the land and that he had no in
I tention of getting into quarrel, but took
| the singletree along to defend himself in
case Eggleton should attack him, He had
| feard of Eggleton's prowess as a fighter
and was afraid of him.
Eggleton, Yeger continued, dropped his
lines and went behind his horses to also get
a singletree, but could not get the bolt out.
| Eggoton then put his hands in his pockets
! and Yeger thought he was gcing to draw a
knife and said to him, John don't draw a
knife on me-" Withdrawing his hands
! Eggleton advanced to within four feet OF
! him and struck at Yeger with his fists.
Yeger said he threw up his hands to ward
off the blow. The singletree was in his
hand. He didn't exactly know how he
threw it up, but he used the singletree to
hit Eggeton's arm and Eggleton fell back
ward.
| Yeger asserted he didn't know whether he
hit him, but Eggleton got up and came back
again and witness said to him. John, don't
monkey with me any more" Yeger broke
down in his recital at this point. When he
resumed he said he went to Decatur after
ward, taking money to pay a fine and that
the last he saw OF Eggleton he was up and
blowing. That night he learned that Eggle-
ton was severely hurt and returned to De-
catur and employed a physician to attend
him, taking the doctor to Eggleton's place
In the cross examination Yeger seemed
much confused as to the lines, corners and
boundaries of his farm. Numerous wit
nesses testified to Yeger's reputation being
good and the defense rested it's case.
