YOUNG MAN RUN DOWN AND KILLED
Jury Decides that Lehman's Death Is
CnuseI by RcckIess Driver.

FREMONT, Neb., Feb. IL Specially
Coroner W, j, Davis went TO Snyder last
evening and held an inquest on the body Of
Charles Lehman, who died there, II is
thought, from the result of injuries received
by being run over by team driven by
John Schwanka on the evening OF January
23. A post -mortem was held by the cor
oner, assisted by Drs. Haslam OF Fremont
and Parchen of Snyder, from which it ap-
peared that death resulted from injury to
the stomach and other internal organs.
II appeared from the evidence that
Schwanka was driving rapidly and went
out OF the travelled part OF the highway
toward the fence and ran over Lehman.
He soon after stopped and going back helped
him into the wagon and took him home.
There were three other young men in the
wagon with Schwanka.
According to the testimony Lehman tried
to get out of the way OF the wagon and
Sehwanka appeared to be trying to run
proved but later grew rapidly worse. He
was 10 years OF age. Schwanka, who Is
% years old, is a well known young
farmer The Schwanka and Lehman fam
lilies had not been on good terms for some
time before the affair.
The verdict OF the coroners jury was
sealed and delivered TO the county attor-
action should be brought The people about
Snyder feel very indignant over the affair
sympatnizing with the Lehman family.

Cunninghams Anti-Pass Bill Dis
cussed and Indefinitely Postponed.

LINCOLN, Feb. III Special. )-on a com
mittee report to indefinitely postpone the
anti-pass bill came up the first thing this
morning. Cunningham OF Harlan, the
author OF the bill, explained various points
OF the measure in answer to a storm Of
questions from members on the floor. Sew
eral pointed questions were directed at the
"ant-pass" record of the state auditor,
which were all turned aside with witty
answers.
Thompson OF Merrick thought there was
much that was wholly unnecessary in the
bill, In his county neither officers nor pri-
vate citizens were bothered TO any great ex-
tent by free express, telegraph or Pull
man ear privileges.
Eastman of Custer arose in defense OF the
bill He said he knew little about the
technical points OF the bill, but he believed
its principle to be the only honest one in
regard to the pass matter All passes did
not bring the expected return TO railroad
companies, but when the proper man was
found he was worked to cover all losses.
Burns Of Lancaster held the bill to be in
the line OF class legislation, inasmuoh as it
dlscrim m.aated as between shippers OF live
stock and other freight customers of rail-
roads. Several others spoke on the same
point.
On the roll call the motion to Indefinitely
Postpone prevailed by strictly party vote
A to 80.

speotfuly urge you, in behalf of the Ma
tional Guard of this state, not only to give
your support to this just request, but to
do what you can TO successfully pass this
measure
l ask you to do this in the name of the
volunteer soldiers of this state, who have
distinguished themselves in the war with
Spain, the First Nebraska, formerly the
First regiment of the Nebraska National
Guard, whose splendid achievements at Ma
Mia, and who, at all times and in all places,
upheld the dignity of the flag and the
honor Of the state they represented; the
Second Nebraska volunteers. formerly the
Second regiment of the Nebraska National
Guard, at Chickamausa park, by their mag
nifcent conduct and discipline while in
camp there; the Third Nebraska volunteers,
now at Havana, ready in like manner to
respond to the call of duty wherever il
leads; and Troop X, Third United States vol.
unteer cavalry, formerly Troop of this
state, who are entitled to the full need OF
praise given the other commands.
| sincerely hope that congress will rec
ognize the devotion OF the National Guard
of this country, who responded so patriot
icaly to the call of duty on the 2Ith Of
April. By supporting this measure you will
better enable the National Guard in the
future 10 be prepared for all emergencies
by appropriating this sum OF money, which
will thoroughly equip thsm and enable them
TO take the field in all times of emergency.
Along this line, and recognizing the value
of the volunteer soldier, Senator Lodge of
Massa chusetts has introduced an amendment
to the army bill directing the secretary Of
war to furnish to the states the Krag-Jor
gensen rifles in exchange for the Spring
field rifles (caliber 45), without charging any
difference in cost agaihst the state appor-
tionments. This is justly merited, because
wherever the volunteer soldier lis armed as
effectively as the regular he is the peer OF
any soldier in the world.
Trusting that you Will give this matter
your earnest consideration, | am, very sim
cerely yours, p. II. BARRY,

contained slO,O2. The cause that led him TO
commit suicide is still a mystery.
