OF proposed changes in the circuit.
Though the magnatcs declined to
commit themselves prior To going

regarded as certainty that at least
one and probably two of the cities in
the circuit last year will not have
franchises during the coming season.
Grand Rapids Is the city that will be
dropped unless present plans 20
astray There has been some talk of
letting out Wheeling because of its
distance from the other league cities.
put as the Wheeling club is anxious
To retain Its membership and as more
over 1t Is one of the best paving cities
on the circuit 1t appears likely that
IL VIII retain It's membership. There
are many applicants for the vacant
franchise or franchises, the most i'm
important being Peoria. Erie, Zanes.
VllIe ana Youngstown also have sent
III applications. J. r. Keary of Chi.

County Commissioners in Nebraska
Don't Know for Sure Just What
They Will Get

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 14.-The legisla-
ture passed at the last session mea-
sure to regulate the salaries of coun-
ty commissioners. After struggling
with the law for some time, the attor-
ney general has announced that the
matter be taken to the courts for final
Interpretation.
The section of the law alleged to
be defective is as follows:
County commissioners shall each
be allowed for the time they shall be
necessarily employed in the duties of
the office the sum of So per day and
. cents per mile, to be paid out of the
general county funds Provided, fur
ther, that the total or maximum
amount of compensation, including
mileage and per diem, to be paid to
or drawn by any other commissioner

in the state shall not exceed the fol
lowing amount per annum: In coun-
ties having over 10000 inhabitants
and less than 10000 inhabitants, $500;
in counties having over 10000 inhab-
itants and less than 10000 inhabitants,
$500; that in counties not under town

Report Of Indian Commissioner Jones
FaVors Offering the Indians
$3.50 Per Acre,

Washington, Jan, 1.-THE following
report, favorable to the Rosebud res
eryation, has been sent in by Com
missioner Jones:
"As general proposition the In
dian office has to say that after care
ful and mature consideration the time
has come when congress and the In
dian department are warranted in ad-
ministering the tribal relations of In
dians in the United States, including
the matter of disposing of as much Of
their lands as they do not need and
do not use, without consulting the In
dians. 1t must be assumed, of course
in the adoption of such a policy that
those c'1rged with the duty of admin
isteing the aff9irs Cf the Indians will
act in every instance in perfect good
faith, and will see that the rights and
interests cf the Indians are fully pre-
served and enforced"

RUNAWAY At CREIGHTON
Two Buggies Run Down and
Two Women Thrown Out.
NEITHER SERIOUSLY HURT.
Or. Disbrow's Horses Were Frightened
at the Lumber Yard and Took
Disastrous Spin Through the Town.
Ran Two Miles Into the Country.

Creighton, Ncb., Jan. 1i.-Special to
The News: The team of DR.. A. Il.
Disbrow, and in charge of his hired
man, had an exciting and disastrous
runaway yesterday afternoon. The
wagon was being loaded with lumber
at the Horton yards, when falling
board frightened the horses and they
dashed out of the yard and up the
street toward the business portion of
the city. The frightened animals
crashed into the buggy Occupied by
Mrs. Avery who was just driving in.
The front wheels of the buggy were
smashed to splintcrs and Mrs. Avery
was thrown out, falling on her head.
Her horse was not frightened, and
fortunately Mrs. Avery's injuries were
not serious.
The Disbrow team proceeded on up
town after this collision and in turn
ing the corner at Erwin q Erwins
store encountered another buggy that
contained Mr.. Shcrlinc and his sister
from Winnctoon. They had just driv-

fortunate that neither of the occupants
were seriously injured The team

PLAN is NOT A POPULAR ONE
The Scheme to Have All Six Conares-
sional Conventions at One
Place Unlikely.

Lincoln, Ncb., Jan. 1.-THE chances
are that the plan proposed bo some
Omaha friends and supporters of John
i. Webster, by which the congress
siOnal conventions of the six districts
are to be held at the same time as
the state convention, does not meet
with much favor among republicans
here at the capital. Just how it will
be regarded in other parts of the state
is not known.
The plan Is that the same delegates
shall be selected for the congressional
conventions as for the state conven-
tion, and that as soon as the latter
gets through its deliberations, the
gathering is to break up into groups
and these will proceed to transact the
business of each district
The object sought by this method is
to secure the solid delegation for Mr.
Webster. The state convention Sc
lccts but four of the sixteen delegates
to Chicago, and even if Mr.. Webster
captures these he is quite certain to
fall down on some one or more of the
district conventions. To carry them
he would find It necessary to go to
the expense and trouble of sending
emissaries and lobbyists to each dis
secure endorsements. He is not so
very well known I'm some of the dis
triCts and it would be an uphill Job.

TRAINS CANNOT MAKE UP TIME
Chicago & Northwestern Prohibits
Running Faster than the
Schedule,

Chicago, Jan 1.-THE Chicago &
Northwestern railway has issued an
order that under no circumstances
shall passenger trains exceed their
scheduled speed, No matter how late
train may be the engineer must not
make up time by running faster than
his schedule calls for All trains that
become late on any portion of their

ment does not desire to risk disaster
which might occur on account of fast
running to make up lost time.

nation.

Fremont, Neb., Jan. IA boys
quarrel between Lawrence Sanders
and Lloyd Sterner, pupils at the Cen
tral school, resulted in the serious in
jury of the latter by a shinney club
in the hands of the former. Young
Sterner was knocked unconscious. and
when first picked up was thought to
be dead. He remained in a state of
stupor for several hours, but finally
regained his faculties after an opera
ton by two surgeons for the removal
of broken pieces of bone. Today his
condition was such as to Justify hopes
of his recovery.
The two boys had been having some
trouble over a shinney stick a few
moments before Sterner was hurt.
He had secured possession of the dis
puted property and was walking away
from the school grounds, when San
ders ran up behind him and struck
him with another stick he had Sc
cured. Sterner fell to the ground on
his face and did not move. The place
where the skull was fractured was on
the right side of the boys head and
behind the ear. The blow might cas-
lily have caused his death.

EDEN RIGGS NOT GUILTY.
Charged With Raising a ST.
Bill to SIS.
MANY WITNESSES TESTIFY
Three Hundred People at the Trial Of
the Young Man at Ewing and All
Were Glad When Judge Selah De-
cided He Could Not be Held.

Ewing, Neb., Jan. 14.-Special to
The News: The preliminary hearing
of Eden Riggs, the 1S-year-old boy
from Orchard, who was charged with
having raised a 81 bill to a $5, was
held before j. ID. Selah, justice of the
peace County Attorney Arthur. f.
Mullen prosecuting, and j. A. and j.
n. Trommershausser for the defense.
The court found that the evidence was
not sufficient to bind the young man
over to the district court and he was
dismissed, with satisfaction to the
300 people attending the trial.
The Story.
In payment for his dinner at the
restaurant of Mrs. Soran Peterson last
Friday Riggs rendered what he sup
posed to be $5 bill in payment, and
received $475 in silver. About twenty
raised to So was discovered in the
cash register and it was supposed that
1t had been passed by Riggs, but the
evidence was not positive on this point.
Riggs denied that he had had such a
bill in his possession, but that if he
did have it he had no knowledge that
1t had been raised. If he had such a
bill he bad received it with six other
similar bills from the bank of Orchard
on the preceding day in payment o.
draft for $35. He had received a 81
bill at Orchard, but this had been for
warded to parties in Illinois.
A large number of witnesses were
present from Orchard to testify to the
good name and reputation ofthe young
man. Among the witnesses was the
young mans brother Andrew Riggs
of Spencer, and the following from
Orchard: The cashier of the bank,
j. w. Mitchell, merchant; James AL
eXander, merchant; VIM. Davidson,
merchant; G. o. Shane, farmer; David
Rost, lumberman; Carlton Taylor,
liveryman; Loren Batty, liveryman;
c. e. Rector, stock buyer; Y. r. Hicks,
stock buyer; VIM. Miller, merchant,
and Rev. w. e. Dunlap, pastor of the
u. p. CHURCH.
The case for the state was vigor-
ously prosecuted, while the defense
was conducted with characteristic dis
patch and conviction by the young
mans counsel.
When justice Selah announced that
from the evidence he could not bind
the defendant over to the district
court, it met with the entire approval
of the 800 peep e who had been at
tracted to court by the case, and they
showed their feelings by vigorous ap-
plause.
