from New York City to California.
"The very material increase of our

Nebraska next year depends entirely
upon the tariff" said he. "As for
the tariff, may be over sanguine,

Most all of our readers will re

of Baca county boy which occurred
about year ago. The recent devel

Post, are even more sensational and
are given below:
"On his death bed William Thorn

Zeb Nicholson who is serving term
of ten to twenty years in the peniten-

boy, is entirely innocent. The

Log Rolling for 1908.

A large delegation composed OF
about $50 citizens of Lamar and vi
cinity went to Colorado Springs on the
special train last Friday. The Lamar
Citizens Band was part of the deleg
alton and as usual made record for
itself as one of the best band organ
izations in the state. The Lamar
crowd was intent, on securing
the next log rolling for this place,
and owing to the reputation which
the town has gained for itself as a
hospitable entertainer they succeed
ed in gaining the unanimous vote OF
the meeting for Lamar as the locat-
ton of the next log rolling.
This event will undoubtedly draw
the largest crowd to Lamar that has
ever been known in the history of
the town, and no pains or expense
will be spared by the citizens or
Woodmen to properly entertain the
thousands of visitors who will be as
sembled here for the event. The ate

wv nile thompson was Trying 10
get Nicholson's gun away from him
it was discharged and the bullet
killed Gideop's horse. The struggle
continued and the gun was dis
charged again, but this time while it
was in William Thompson's hands
The ball hit young Ben Thompson,
who was standing near by, and NOR
tally wounded him.
According to the story taken from
the papers at the state fouse, Thomp
son, it is alleged, had kidnapped
Nicholson, who is now only 27, from
his home in Missouri. He took him
to Kansas. and while there he killed
two different men for their money
and afterwards informed Nicholson
of the crimes and showed bin where
the men were buried. Later the
Thompsons came to Colorado and
Nicholson came with them. They
all settled in Baca county. William
Thompson and Nicholson had been
on bad terms for some time. The
elimination OF the hard feeling was
their fight on the range.
"Thompson, the story goes, saw a
chance to get Nicholson out of the
way. Failing to kill him in the
hand to hand struggle, he deter
mined after his son had beer shot by
himself through accident, to send
Nicholson to the penitentiary for it
1t was an excellent opportunity, es-
peciully when he knew that Gideon
Thompson would place no obstacle
IN his way. He accordingly had
Nicholson arrested for murder. At
the trial Mr. Thompson testified that
Nicholson killed his boy in cold
blood. Two other men swore that
they heard the dying statement of
the boy and that it implicated Mich
olson. Nicholson was found guilty
and given sentence of ten to twen
ty years by Judge Northcust, who
could do nothing else in the face of
the evidence.
Nicholson has served about year.
Thompson was taken i'll in June with
an incurable disease. He is now in
bed and has not long to live. He
voluntarily confessed that he was the
one who shot his son, but that it was
accidental. This confession has been
written. He also signed petition
favoring Nicholson's pardon. There
is an affidavit from a man named Al
corn that Ben Thompson never spoke
after he was shot, and therefore could
not have said that Nicholson was his
murderer. Thompson has also con
fessed to another brother that he had
organized company to get Nicholson
out of the way. There are letters
and papers on file testifying to Mich
olson's good character. His brother
Tyd Nicholson of Richmond, Nilsson
ri, is here in the prisoners behalf.
He has letters from state add county
officers saying that his word is as
good as his bond on any proposition.
