An "Old Democrat" whose commu-
nication appears in another column,

wonders why we have not been talking
thus plain for a long time.
The truth of the matter is that The
Herald has been expecting certain can
didates to wake UP TO realization of
the injury they are doing the Demo-
cratic party by maintaining an organ
lied opposition to majority rule, with
out having that very apparent and Of
fensive fact pointed out to them.
We have been looking for these gen.

HOlt's Case Continued.

The case against Henry Holt, a Winnie
bago Indian. charged with assaulting Act
ing Agent Morgan of the Omaha and Winnie
bago agency, was called before Judge Mum
ger in United States court yesterday after
noon, but as the defense was not ready for
trial, the hearing went over until next term.
Last winter, as the story goes, Holt called
at the agency quarters and asked permission
to visit Washington Acting Agent Morgan
refused the request, whereupon Holt became
very angry and assaulted Morgan with a
stove poker, threatening to kill him Other
Indians interfered and the obstreperous Holt
was taken away and lodged in Jail. The
next day he appeared before the county
Judge of Thurston county and swore out a
warrant for the arrest of the agent, charg-
ing him with assault. The case then came
into United States court cH all application
for writ of habeas corpus, which was
granted, and Morgan was released. Upon the
convening of the recent grand jury Morgan
gave his testimony and an indictment was
the result.

George ChoItmnn II Accused OF stab
bing james Jones Last October.
The criminal court Is n operation for tho
first time this week TO decide whether
George Chollman is guilty CT the murder q
James Il. Jones, who was a bartender in a
saloon at Fifteenth and Webster streets.
The killing occurred on the evening of Oc-
tober 81 lS9S Chollman came In from the
exposition with a party CT friends and they
all proceeded to become hilarious with the
assistance Of a liberal supply OF cheap
whisky. When they dropped into the saloon
where Jones was at work one Of the crowd
wanted credit for a round Cf drinks. Jones
referred the matter to the proprietor, who
Insisted on cash in advance, and the man
who had asked for credit declared his intcn-
ton Of creating a rough house with ut
further preliminarles He was finally Quicted
and the crowd went out without making
further trouble. Later in the evening it is
alleged that Chollman returned alone and
inflicted the wound from which the bar
tender died. This was a cut four inches
deep in the left side, which reached the
heart.
Chollman is a very respectable appearing
young fellow and when ne was brought into
court he was warmly greeted by a large
number Of friends who were present to en-
courage him. He has lived in Omaha oil
his life and both he and his father are old
employees at the Union Pacific shops His
friends assert that he has always had a
good character and that If he did the stab
bing he was too crazed with liquor to know
what he was doing.
On account of the wrangle over the Bart
Icy case nothing was accomplished in the
criminal court during the forenoon. in the
afternoon the selection of the jury was be-
gun and this will probably be completed
today.
