WAGED FOR TWENTY YEARS.
End Of Remarkable County Seat War
in Nebraska.

in Nebraska.
Creighton, Neb., Jan. 6.-In its rul-
ing that county officials Of Knox coun:
ty must move their offices to the farm
of William Wishendoff, IL miles from
the nearest town, the supreme court
of Nebraska has ended the most re-
markable county seat fight in the en-
tire West, fight which has been per
sistently waged for more than 20 years
and has cost the taxpayers $4,000. -.
Accordingly on April l, the date fix
ed by the supreme court, a remarkable
exodus will take pace. Business men
Of Niobrara, where the county seat Of
Knox county has been maintained
since the beginning of history Of Ne
braska, and Verdigris and Creighton,
II miles away from Wishendon's farm
and which Last named two towns will
supply the largest part Of the popula-
ton Of the new county seat, are al
ready preparing for this wholesale re-
moval.
Many Of the owners of buildings will
follow the example of the three towns
in Charles Mix county, across the Mis-
souri, in South Dakota, where horses
were hitched to the buildings and the
entire towns moved bodily from old
to new sites.
The new county seat of Knox county
will be called Center. Today there is
nothing to be seen on the site but the
farmhouse and outbuildings Of the
Wishendoff farm. The change frcr1
Niobrara is made because the place is
on the border of the county and be-
cause the voters desired to Locate the
county seat in the geographical center
Of the county.

San Francisco. Jan. 6.-Ninety.two
survivors, Of the Walla Walla have ar
rived here from Eureka on the steamer
Pomona. There Is still some dis;
crepancy in the lists Of dead and miss,
Ing. The number ranges from 81 to
II. This discrepancy 10 due to the
fact that several passengers boarded
the vessel Just 90 abe was leaving
port. Others who were travelling Sec
ond class gave assumed: names in or
der to hide their identity. BY strik-
ing out what are possible duplicates
the number of flcst stands at AZ,
classed as follows: known dead, 9;
missing, passengers. 10; crew, 20. One
life raft is unaccounted for and it is
feared that all the missing are lost.
The French bark Max, which was in
collision with the steamer Walla Wal
la, arrived here at 9 o'clock in tow of
the steamer Acme and the revenue
cutter McCulloch. Upon her arrival
here the Max was towed into quaran-
tine. The extent of her damage has
not yet been ascertained.
The Max was picked up by the
steamer Acme at II a. M Jan. 4, two
days after the collision with the Walla
Walla, when seven miles southeast of
Point Gorda. Later the revenue cutter
McCulloch, which was cruising in
search of survivors of the wreck, also
fastened line to the Max. In the COL
lision the bowsprit and jibboom of the
Max were carried away. Several
plates on the port and starboard bow
were stove in. Two large holes were
made through the stern plates. The
officers of the Max claim that all their
lights were burning. They saw the
lights of the Walla Walla. They assert
that the Walla Walla tried to cross
their bow and that the collision &C.
CURED from no fault of the Max. As
reason for not standing by and rem
dering assistance they say it was i'm
possible owing to the badly disabled
condition of the Max. They had all
they could do to take care of them
selves.

Appeals Also Charges Them With
Conspirins to Defraud Miners.
San francesca, Jan. THE United
States circuit court OF appeals has
fined Judge Arthur H. Noyes $1,000
tor contempt Of court. United States
District Attorney Joseph X. Wood and
his assistant, c. A. s. Frost, were sen
fenced to Imprisonment for terms Of
four months and one year respectively.
The only one OF the defendants pres.
snt was Frost. The opinion Of; the

said: - T.: -.s.>.: s
II concur in the finding Of fact con
tanned in the opinion Of Judge Gilbert
1nSthe case of Arthur H. Moves, Joseph
K. Wood and c. A. s. Frost. 1 am
also of the opinion that the evidence
does not establish the charge against
Thomas J. Geary. :. *.
I'm my judgment the evidence estab-
lished the fact that there was. a con-
spiracy between the respondent, Alex
Mackenzie, and others to secure pos
session of certain valuable mining
claims in Alaska under proceedings
involving the appointment of a re-
ceiver for the purpose of working the
properties and obtaining the gold de-
posted in the claims. To carry these
proceedings to a supposed conclusion
Moves, Mackenzie and others found it
necessary part Of their scheme to
resort to the process of this court. In
pursuance of this conspiracy the con-
tempt charged against Moves was
committed, but agree with Judge
Gilbert that this conspiracy is outside
the charge of contempt, and in view of
the fact that the respondent Moves
holds judicial position concur in
his judgment that the respondent be
required to pay fine Of $1,000
Judge Gilbert and Judge Morrow
were of the same opinion in all re-

Washington, Oct. o.-The North Da-

day presented one of the most remark
able spectaclcs on the avenue. There is
one member of the post who is 100 years
of age, and three are more than three
score years and ten. These aged men
marched with the procession today from
start to finish. They come from the
portion of North Dakota where Presi-
dent Roosevelt lived and came here es-
p~ecially to see the president and be seen
by him. They bear with them tokens
of regard for the president from the peo-
pie of his adopted state, North Dakota.
They were easily distinguished in the
parade by the trimmings of wheat on
their clothing and the canes festooned
with wheat which they carried. The
North Dakotans numbered $50 men and

Are the Dates of the Fair and Entertain
m-nt Of St. ~Joseph's Church in the
Opera House. Meals Every
Night. Music and
Speaking.

Next Sunday, Oct. 10, 1902, the corner
stone of the beautiful church, erected by
the members of St. Joseph's corporation,
will be laid by Right Rev. John Stanley,
D. D., of Fargo. AS special conside:.
alton to the pastor, Father Rabsteinek,
and people of the new parish, the bishop
will, himself, perform the memorable act.
Last weeks PRESS contained the clio.
quent letter of Mayor Manning, speak
ing for himself and the city council,
which shows clearly the harmonious
spirit in Dickinson, where the project OF
erecting such a beautiful church, paro-
chial school and residence meets with
the fullest favor and support. 1t will
indeed be a grand building and a monu-
ment to Father Rabsteinck. The struc-
ture is of brick of the best product of the
local brick yard, already famous tor its
fire and pressed bricks. Since many Of
the parishioners are working in the brick
plant, it will be their pride also. The
stone for decorations, valued in other
places at over $4,000, was found in the
locality by Father Rabsteinek. 1t is
very beautiful in effect and has saved
the church a great deal of money. All
the material in the structure is of the
very best, and the local business firms
have been very kind in helping to get
the same.
The brick work is in the hands of the
w%ell-known contractors, Connolly &
Bakkc. No better superintendent of
the building could have been selected
than Joseph Hansman, who has erected
some OF the finest buildings in the state
and elsewhere.
The ceremonies at the laying of the
corner stone will be most impressive.
A list of the city, county and state Off
Gals will be enclosed in the stone; also
names of all members of the parish, city
papers and other history. At noon a
banquet will be given at the opera house.
Special orchestra will delight the guests.
Senator Simpson and Captain Gregory
will deliver addresses and Right Rev.
Bishop Stanley will also speak. The
menu at the banquet is in charge of
Mesdamcs Simpson, ~Jessen, Hutmacher,
Kupper and many others. A fair will
be held for the three consecutive nights
and meals served in the evening.
Father Rabsteinek is thankful to the
ladies of Dickinson for their kind sup
port. He finds no words of sufficient
praise to describe his appreciation OF
the business firms who have so lavishly
supplied him with beautiful articles for
his fair. The PRESS hopes most car
nestIy that the public will appreciate
the grand work done for the whole COM
munity and attend all the exercises.
