HOT TIME OUT WEST.
United States Senator Indicted by
Federal Grand Jury.
Charged with TramckinG in the Ap.
pOintment of PostmHsters-Ac-
euscd Official Denies Claims
of His Enemies.

When the federal grand jury sitting
at Omaha returned three indictments
on November 1G against United States
| Senator Charles II. Dietrich, of Nebras-
ka, charged with trafficking in the ap-
| polntment of postmasters, it established
record which has never been eQualed.
Never before in the history of the coun-
try has United States senator been
officially accused of selling government
positions.
The specific charge in this case was
that Senator Dietrich had accepted a
bribe in connection with the appoint
ment of Jacob Fisher as postmaster at
Hastings, Neb. and also with conspir-
ing against the United States in connec-
ton with the same case.
| Rumors began to be circulated more
than a year ago that all was not right
with Mr. Dietrich's appointments. 1t
was said that Postmaster Fisher, of
Hastings, had even complained that his
appointment had cost SO much money
that he could not afford to contribute to
the regular campaign fund. Several
other appointments in the South Platte
country, which is Mr.. Dietrichs S rccog-
nized district, were said to have been
made for money.
| These rumors became so strong that
| they finally attracted the attention of
the federal grand jury. The appoint
ment of Jacob Fisher as postmaster at
Hastings was the first case presented to
| the grand jury
The New York Herald says that evil
dence before the grand jury was to this
effect: Mr.. Dietrich owned a building
in Hastings which he wished to rent to
the government for S1,S00 annually. He
negotiated with the department on these
terms, but the postmaster, Hahn, re-
fused to approve the contract. Later
the rental was lowered to $1,000 year,
after which Mr.. Hahn approved and
signed the agreement, with the addi-
tional proviso that Mr.. Dietrich should
provide the Office furniture at his own
| expense.
Jacob Fisher, who was an applicant
for the post Office, was informed that he
could have the appointment provided he
would purchase the post-office furniture,
which must be left in the room on his

by Grand Jury)
retirement from the office. He was also
to pay Mr.. Dietrich 5000 a year it i.
declared, as side rent for the building
Leopold Hahn, the former postmaster,
is said to have testified that Mr.. Fisher
also executed note for S2,500 to Diet
rich in further payment of the appoint
ment. Fisher received the appointment
Since the Hastings investigation the
appointments at Orleans, Alma, Ara
pahoe, Farbury and Wilsonville have
been subjected to rigid examinations.
and with the exception of the Alma case
no votes have been taken by the jury.
Elliott Lowe, a business and personal
friend of Dietrich, has been indicted for
alleged conspiracy in connection with
the appointment at Alma. Postmaster
Mitchell, of Alma, has also been indicted
for alleged conspiracy to defraud the
government.
Mr.. Dietrich's rise from an Illinois
farmer boy to a bank president and
United States senator is a story of hard
work, ability, courage and determina-
ton. Starting in life without a cent, he
has pushed himself forward to his pres
ent position of wealth and influence.
He has been a retail dry goods clerk in
Chicago, ordinary workman on a south
ern plantation and a miner 1t was
while working in the mines of the Black
Hills that he got his start in life by
striking it rich"
Two years after Gen. Custer first en-
tered the Hills" Mr.. Dietrich was there,
searching for gold. And when he found
it he showed his good sense by leaving
the mines forever and returning to civ
ilization. Settling at Hastings. Neb. he
invested in lands and organized the Ger
man national bank, of which he is the
president. His lands increased in value
and he grew wealthy. The country was
settled by Germans, of whom Mr.. Diet
rich was leader. He entered politics.
In 1900 he was elected governor and one
year later United States senator.
