Special Train for Nebraskans.
Lincoln, Neb.: Gov. Poynter asserted
Sunday that the project to raise the neces-
ssary funds to bring the members of the
First Nebraska Regiment to their native
State from San Francisco was assured. A
number of additional subscriptions were
made during the day and numerous tele.
grams were received from over the State
to the effect that checks covering subscrip-
: tions made would be in the Governors
! hands Monday. Ed Cudahy of Omaha on
Sunday wired $1,000 to the Governor, the
{ exact amount that was yet short of the
total fund necessary to provide the special
= train. This sum, added to the loan of D.
r.. Thompson and the individual subscrp-
. tons from over the State, brings the
I amount up TO the necessary proportions.
The following is from the pen of the
Governor and was published in the Sun
day morning dailies:
Lincoln Neb., Aug. 2O.-To the People
of Nebrska: | have an offer from d.
E. Thompson of loan of $4,000
to bring home the First Ne
braska Regiment. appeal to the
people of Nebraska to send to me at once
checks for such sums as each is able to ad-
vance in order that the balance of $l5, 900
may be promptly secured. The money
must be in my office by 8 o'clock Monday
night. Those who have already made
pledges of loans will, hope, send to me
at once the amount pledged. With quick
action on the part of the people of N,
braska, the soldiers of this State, now at
San Francisco, will be returned on a
special train"

MURDER ON THE RANGE.
Geo. Coil Shoots and Kills Tom
Ryan in Dawes County, Neb.

Ryan in Dawes County, Neb.
Chadron, Neb.: In quarrel on the
range near Crawford, in Dawes County,
Monday morning, Geo. Coil shot and killed
Tom Ryan. The murderer is Just 81 years
old and the son of Frank j. Coil, who was
once prominent character in the business
AMI political circles of Burt County. Coil
is IA flockmaster and Ryan was cattleman.
The shooting grew out of an old feud over
trespassing with each others stock on the
others range. Coil came in and gave him.
self up to the sheriff. His father and
friends came along and are tempering pub
lie sentiment.
Coil claims that Ryan had ridden out to
the flock Of sheep and repeatedly abused
his younger brothers, but when he at
tempted it on him and was warned for the
third time to quit and Ryan would not do
it, he fired and his victim fell limp from
his horse. No one is here to tell the dead
m rs story, but he is said to have been a
man with a family and considerable prop
erty. He had had trouble with several
sheepmen before, and kept them at a dis
tance with a Winchester rife. Coil is the
only living witness to the shooting. He
went out with the coroner and sheriff to
testify at the inquest.
Every f1ockmaster is ready to sign the
murderer's bond or render other assist
ance. The feeling between the sheepmen
and cattle owners and ranchers is bitter.
William Agnew, a flock owner and enemy
of the murdered man, is on the coroner's
jury. The range line difference was
satisfactorily settled by Judge Houghton
month ago. and Ryan congratulated ali
parties on its adjustment.
