YELLOW PAPERS REACH LIMIT
sensational story from Lincoln with
out slightest Foundation
In Fact.

The Lincoln correspondent Of the local
fusion paper, in order to give the proper
yellow setting to his work, included in his
story Of the reception to Governor Mickey
a fake account, which said that as Edward
Rosewater passed along the line Of, the re-
ceiving party and reached Ex-Governor
Savage 1.-The hand and arm Of the governor
were clinched and drawn back as though
to strike. Mr.. Rosewater grew pale, hest
tated and retreated beyond range"
The junior yellow journal for its noon
edition rewrote this story and exaggerated
it into an attempted assault by Savage
upon Mr.. Rosewater. 1t said that J. f..
McKesson caught and held the arm of the
retiring governor while Mr.. Rosewater i'm
mediatelV escaped and ran to the depot,
where he caught the first train for Omaha.
Instructions were given the newsboys to
feature this story in crying their papers.
As a matter OF fact Mr.. Rosewater was
present at the reception and shook hands
and chatted with his friends in the long
line Of the receiving party. There was a
large formal crowd present at the function
and the evening passed without Mr.. Rose
water meeting or having anything whatever
to do with the ex-governor. There is not
the slightest foundation for the fakes pub
lished in the yellow journals.

LOBECk LOSES IN CONTEST
County Court Decides Mcdonald Has
Plurality Of Thirty-oae.
FOUR HUNDRED BALLOTS THROWN OUT
Because Clerks signed Ballots in
Place of judges County Court
Rods that Electors Must
he Disfrnnchiscd.

About noon yesterday Judge vinson-
haler in county court declared Henry Nc
Donald, republican candidate, elected
county commissioner from the Fifth COM
missioner district by a plurality Of 81 over
c. o. Lobeck. fusion candidate. the re-
s~pective figures being 2,423 to 1889. Attor-
neys Ed p. Smith and L. J. Patti, repre-
senting Lobeck. Immediately announced that
an appeal will be taken and the bond was
fixed at 5000.
The decision comes after a recount Of the
ballots. which leaves in the mind Of Lobeck
the unpleasant impression that had 1t not
been for irregularities In the official con-
duct Of two clerks of election, both demo-
Gratis, he would have had in this count a
plurality over Mcdonald of IL, The irregu-
larities referred TO resulted in the court
throwing out 222 ballots manifestly intended
for Lobeck and $50 manifestly Intended for
Mcdonald. The clerks Lobeck holds re-
sponsible for defeat in this first round Of
the contest are p. H. Daley Of the Seventh
precinct of the Sixth ward and NJ. E. Nor
risey of the Fourth precinct of the Ninth
ward.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-01-10

To explain more fully, It may be said
that in the Seventh OF the Sixth Lobeck
lost az and Mcdonald lost Al, or a net loss
Of 81 for Lobeck, because Clerk Daley had
exchanged places with Election Judge Nc
Govern because the latter was a better
penman. Daley and one Judge signed the
back Of the ballots in question, and the
judge held this to be a violation Of the
provision Of the statutes which require
each ballot to be signed by two judges.
In the Tenth Of the Sixth Clerk Tierney
signed instead Of one Of the judges, and
this resulted In a loss Of 40 from Mcdonald
and q from Lobeck. In The Fourth Of the
Ninth Clerk Morrisey signed for a judge
and this cost Lobeck 123 and Mcdonald 80.
Thus, under the ruling Of Judge vinson-
haler, the three clerks, by undertaking
duties Of judges, have disfranchised 400
legal voters Of the Fifth commissioner
district.
Attorney Smith said he would refrain
from going over the ground again with
Judge Vinsonhaler, but stated that he be-
lieved the higher courts would take more
into consideration the intept OF the voter
and that therefore the case would be APP
pealed.
