Wiley, postmaster at Colora, and cousin
of County Treasurer William T. Fryer,
was shot and killed last weak in Lancaster
county, near the Cecil county line, and
Edwin j. Brogan is in Lancaster Jail to be
tried for murder. The shooting occurred
on Tuesday evening when young Wiley
and a companion, John Wills, were re-
turning from a visit to q friend. BrOgan
is the owner of dog that has habit Of
running out to bark at passers-by. As the
two young men passed Brogan's the dog
ran after them, and Wills hurled stone
at it. Almost simultaneously the report
of gun rang out. The boys started to
run, Wiley saying to Wills, Take hold of
me-" Before going far Wiley dropped
unconscious, and Wills fastened to his
companion home and gave the alarm. He
fingered for fifteen hours before death en-
sued. Some hours prior to his death he
made an ante-mortem statement

lodged in jail. In his behalf it is claimed
that the killing was wholly accidental ;
that the parties passing his house at late
hour of the night stoned his dog and then
his house: he seized a rifle standing near
his bed nd not used for years, and shot
it OIL to scare them away, firing in "A

dictated they were; the muZzle of the
weapon was lowered and the ball passing

H0LCOMB'S HOUSE RENT.
Record Showing the Facts
of the Scandal.


Silas A. Holcomb, while governor of
the state, not only accepted an uncon-
stitutional appropriation for the pay.
ment Of his private house rent, but by
the use of padded vouchers he took from
the state treasury almost double the
amount of money that tho house rent
actually cost. 1t takes no argument to
substantiate this. The records are the
best evidence.
When the Legislature of 1893 made a
housc.rcnt appropriation for Governor
Crounse, the last Republican governor,
It was promptly vetoed. Crounso in
his message declared it unconstitutional,
and said the Legislature had no power to
increase the salary or perquisitcs of any
state officer.
Governor Holcomb had no such re-
gard for the constitution OF the law.
He regarded the law as "a farce and a
sham." rs his sworn testimony later dis
closed. He was glad to take the house
rent appropriation. and he intended to
make as much rs possible out Of it.
The records show that for the first
six months after the appropriation was
available in 1895, Holcomb lived in a
house belonging to A. o. Crandall.
There IL no evidence Of the actual
amount paid Crandall for the rent, but
the vouchers drawn show that for each
quarter the governor drew $50 in adj
M He had Crandall sign the
vouchers.
On the LIST of October Holcomb rented
. house from Mrs. Gould ut the rate Of
$50 per month. And yet the records
show that for the quarter ending Jan. /,
1895, he drew in advance $50 for
''house rent" The date Of this voucher
is Sept. 30, 1895.
The next voucher drawn was ON
March y. 1896, when Holoomb took $3.50
all in . lump, the voucher saying it was
for "house rent" but did not say what
period Of time II covered. This was tho
cas- with all future vouchers, an adroit
effort having been made to cover up the

certain the amount actually paid to him
for rent, but giving the benefit Of the
doubt to the vouchers as filed, and ad-
uniting that $50 per month was the
amount Of rent actually received by HIN,
IL will he seen that $773.2 20 of the amount
SET apart for the payment of house rent
has been misappropriated by Governor
Holconb, and your committee would
recommend that your exccllency refer
this matter to h attorney general with
instructions to take such steps as may be
necessary TO recover from Mr.. Holcomb
the amount thus misappropriated."
This same man who makes out padded
vouchers, who arranges to have
them concealed from the public
gaze, who refuses to appear and
testify before a committee, and who
fails to explain in any way why he
pocketed this money, is now o candi.

The house rent fraud is only one of the

no explanation was possible. The fol.
lowing is u part of the committees OH
cial report:
THE cath session of the Legislature of the
state Of Nebraska, by house roll No. 632, IA
bill making appropriation Tor current ex-
penses for the biennium, appropriated the
sum of 81 800 for house rent for the gov
ernor. The Goth session Of the legislature,
by house roll No. 814, also appropriated
for the purpose Of house rent for the gov
ernor the sum OF 81 500 for the b,cnnium.
Complaint having been made to the com
mitt8e that this sum had been misappro-
priated, evidence in relation to the same
was heard, and from the evidence we find:
That the first two vouchers drawn against
this fund thus created were each for this
surn OF $3.50, each purported on It's face to
be for three months house rent; the war
rants In thereof being drawn to
A. G. Crandall. These vouchers were. to
say the least, irregular In that the first
drawn May 2 was for rent to July l, 1895,
while the second. Drawn July II, 1895, was
for rent to Oct. 1, 1895, thus paying the
bills for rent before they matured.
The committee further finds that from
about the first of October, 1895, to the end
Of his term Of office the governor occupied
q residence on A street In the city Of Lin
coin, owned by Mrs. g A. Gould, and for
which no paid u rental Of $50 per month,
which sum was paid monthly at the con-
venience of the governor, and to the en-
tire satisfaction of Mrs. Gould; that dur
ing the lme he occupied said residence rs
governor he presented vouchers in his
own name amounting to 81, 943. 30, three Of
which amounting to $40 were not sworn
TO as required by law, for the payment Of
which the state auditor issued his war
rants on the state treasurer.

the attendance Of A. g. Crandall, to whom
the first two warrants were issued. to. as

Governor Holcomb deliberately mis-.
appropriated and put in his pocket each
month n little over SO. All this in
spite Of the fact the appropriation is for
q certain amount for house rent, ''or so
much thereof as may be necessary"
No bubble will justify the steal. The
state officials now admit the wrong,
and to prevent the vouchers from being
inspected by the public, the auditor has
removed them from their usual places
with the other vouchers in the vault,
and has them concealed at the present
time in Deputy Pools desk. A good
way to prove this is to 90 and ask to see
them.
The sworn evidence given by Mrs.
Could shows how much was paid for
the house which Holcomb rented of her
on the LIST OF October, 1895, and which
he still occupies. She testified before
an investigating committee as follows:
q. Who rented the property
A. Both Of us; my husband and my.

we farmers have not lost sight of the
fact that the rest of the inhabitants of
the rest of the county have some rights
that honest people are bound to re.
spect.
The Rev. l.. A.. Hussong of Red Cloud
and the Rev. Edison of Red Cloud,
have formed n ministerial trus;.''
Now we understand out here that
these reverend gentlemen both occupy
Red Cloud pulpits. They draw sal
aries from their respective congrega-
tons. These congregations are able
and should I've willing to paw their own
preachers. II isn't fair to ask the tax
payers of Webster county to support
the pastors of the Red Cloud churches.
Let Red Cloud pay her preach
ers, and give us persons for our county
officers whose previous occupations
qualify them to fill the offices which
they seek.
Yours truly,
FARMER.
That is all right Brother Farmer, we
are with you in this proposition. The
CHIEF may sometimes work for the in.
terests OF Red Cloud, but we do not
lose sight of our farmer friends and as.
sure them that we will not support the
Red Cloud preachers in their present
aspirations.
Stand up for Webster county.
