rant Issued by the governor of Nebras-
ka upon requisition from Governor
Cummins. jackson is under indictment
in this county on the charge OF OBJ
tanning property under false pretenses'
Albert Harrah VINO lives seven miles
northeast of this city is one OF the
best known short horn cattle breeders
In the county. 1t is alleged than IN
the early part of october. 1901, Mr..
Jackson came here on his wedding trip
and visited Mr. Harrah for the pur-
pose of buying cattle. II Is CLAIMED
that he represented that he had large
ranch in Nebraska which he had eX-
pended $4,000 on and that he was
practically out of debt He is SAID 70
have represented further that he had
for seventeen years been employed by
the New York Life Insurance COM
tpany, and that he desired to continue
with the company for three years lon
ger in order that he might become
pensioner of the company.
Upon the various representations,
which it Is alleged that jackson made.
Mr.. Harrah sold him eighty-seven fine.
COWS with calves at foot and three
bulls, the aggregate amount OF the
sale being $4,000. Mr.. Harrah's son,
George d. Harrah, well known In the
stock business, took out policy with
ar. jackson for $4,000. and Mr. Har-
.rAh,s daughter Miss Mary Harrah, who
ts interested In the John U. May In
turban railway between Clinton and
Davenport, also took a policy for $o.-
600. The premiums on these policies,
over $4,000, amounting altogether to
about $4,000, are all that Mr.. Harrah
aver realized from his sale Of $4,000
worth Of cattle.
It is asserted that Mr. Jackson had
not expended anything like the amount
he is said to have claimed to nave
expended on his ranch. and instead OF
being clear of debt the ranch was
covered by big mortgage.
The cattle, or part of them, were
finally traded to a Mr.. Disney. of Mon
mouth, ILL.,, for business block In
Lincoln. Neb. The notes which jack
son gave MT. Harrah. one for FLOOD
and the other for 5000. have not been
paid, 1t is alleged, and on account OF
the many peculiar turns which affairs
are said to have taken an indictment
was returned by the grand jury In this
county.
Mr.. Jackson claims that there was
no fraud in the matter and he will
aght the case stubbornly His bond
Vas placed at $4,000, and Mr.. Jackson
was quite confident that 1t would be
arranged yesterday, but the plans
did not meet With success. His attor-
ney in Omaha was to have one OF the
banks OF that city wire the First Ma
tional bank OF this city to furnish the
bond, but this evening it was ANNOUNCE
ed that the Omaha bank declined to
perform this part and Cashier E. e.
Iyday OF the bank here said that the
First National would have nothing to
do with the matter in any event. But
1t is now claimed that a friend In
Council Bluffs. who has plenty OF mon
ey, will furnish bond approved by
the clerk OF the courts in Pottawat-
annie county and that 1t will be here
today. In the meantime Mr.. jackson,
rather than spend the night in Jail,
pays the expense OF having a guard
with him over night.
