EYNCoLN, June observation-disclosures
Savage and his military stan will attend the
laying Of the keel OF the battleship Ne
braska at Seattle, in spite Of the protests
Of labor organizations Of that city, Omaha
and other places. The party will leave
either Lincoln or Omaha on the night OF
June 50.
The governor at first was inclined to
take sides with the union men, but after
Investigating the trouble concluded that the
fact that nom union men were employed in
the construction Of the battleship was no
reason why he should Join the boycott.
Protests against the governors partici-
patton In the ceremonies are received daily
in the executive department. Not only the
building trades Of Seattle have Joined in
the remonstrance, but nearly all labor or
CARNATIONS as we'll. The icemen's union,
the walters union and even the laundry
workers union have given their sympathy
TO the movement. Several weeks ago a
protest was received at the governors Of
Zee from the Central Labor union OF
Omaha.
The governor will be accompanied by
nearly all members OF his military stan, as
follows: Col1nel George e. jenkins, quar-
termaster and commissary general, and

Returns ParOIed Convict.
Deputy Warden Jones has returned from
q trip to the sandhills, whittier he went
after james Robinson, a paroled convict.
who was returned to the penitentiary for
violating his parole by killing a man named
Thayer. 1t appears that Robinson and
Thayer were employed on the same ranch
and that Thayer was recently discharged.
He thought that Robinson was to blame for
his release and he secured a bowie and at
tackled Robinson while the latter was on
horseback The code Of cowboy ethics did
not permit Robinson to put spurs to HIS
pom and get out Of the way, so he pro-
oeeded to put a bullet through ThAyer, who
was on foot.
Robinson is the man who was sent up
two years ago for killing his wife in Grant
county. For this offense he was sentenced
TO three years. He seemed to be Jealous
Of the woman, but willing to follow her
into eternity. as he Immediately put an
other bullet into himself. The bullet after
ward fell out OF his clothing when he was
undressed by the doctor. II had gone en-
tirely through his body. Prior to this
Robinson had killed q man up in that sec
tion, so his staying of Thayer makes bis
third victim. His time in prison will expire
in September.
