A brief order entered on the records OF
the district court by Judge Slabaugh yester-
day afternoon Is reminiscent of lively five
minutes that passed in the criminal court
room during the Bechel trial last winter.
The case was fought with stubborn vigor
by the attorneys on each side and at times
the verbal hostilities between Mr.. Connel
and County Attorney Baldrige became eX-
ceedingly animated. One afternoon the two
attorneys got tangled up in controversy
over matter of evidence and the court
was unable to get a word in edgewise. After
several unsuccessful attempts to break into
the conversation Judge Slabaugh fined the
attorneys SO each and quiet was restored.
Now Judge Slabaugh has entered an order
by which the fines are remtted.

George Thunder is in town from the Win
nebago reservation and he is making himself
heard. George is not a noisy man, but Just
the same he received his name en- account
OF being able to talk with the residents of the
adjoining counties without the use of tel
ephone. He has a voice that, when keyed up
to the natural pitch, resembles thunder
hence the name.
For years George Thunder has been on the
Indian police force of the Wnnebago reser-
vaticu and on account OF his ability recently
he was promoted to the position of sergeant,
and as he parades the Omaha streets in his
new uniform he attracts as much attention
as a whole squad of local officers. Thunder
is a full -blooded Indian, educated, and un-
usually bright. At home he is power and
comes pretty close to carrying the Indian
vote of Thurston county in his vest pocket,
so to speak. He is shrewd and II a man up
there desires to be eiected his first duty is
to see Thunder and enlist him in his cause.

persed Wednesday after resolving not
to take the money offered. Some sold
their arms while others took them to
their homes.
kilograms from different parts of the
island say the Cubans in the different
provinces will follow the example of
the troops in the Orient, declining to
give up their arms or to accept Ameri-
can money. According to these dis
patches the officers propose to con.
tribute a part Of their salary in order to
give the soldiers an amount equal to
that offered by the United States.
La Discussion in discussing the situa-
ton says that the danger of maintain
ing an armed force is apparent and it
appeals to the men to disband peace
fully, but sees no reason existing that
would compel the surrender of arms by
force.
