LAMBERT WILL MAKE FIGHT
Determined TO Resist to Last Recourse
Extradition from Oregon
to Nebraska.

Frank w. Lambert, who is held under
arrest at Portland, Ore. for subornation Of
perjury in securing the affidavit OF one
John c. Blue, an old soldier and inmate
of the Grand Island Soldiers home to an
application for homestead filing in the
Broken Bow land district, is determined to
fight his extradition to Nebraska on the
ground that the extradtion must be signed
by a United States judge for the Oregon
district and there being no federal Judge
for that district the only recourse of the
government is to send witnesses to Port
land from Nebraska to try the case there
before United States commissioner, which
will result in his commitment to the juris-
diction of the Nebraska federal district
United States District Attorney Baxter has
therefore directed that Register James
Whitehead of the Broken low land Office
and one or two witnesses having cognizance
of the alleged subornation of perjury In the
case proceed at once to Portland to
give their evidence in the matter, being
the same upon which the complaint against
Lambert was issued and his arrest made at
Portland.

In district court to vacate the Injunction

strain the Omaha Reed and Rattan works
from interfering with the building of a
party wall for the new mercantile building
TO be erected by John r. Webster company
and James A. Sutherland at the northeas st
corner of Sixteenth and Howard. Judge
Shields sets up the points that the injunc-
ton violates the rights of private property
and also that the defendants had no notice
of the application for an injunction. Plain
tins alleged a written agreement with the
owner of the building in question for the
erection OF the party wall. and on this

HARD PROBLEM FOR POLICE
Dincult for Officers to Deal with
Cases of Men Being Robbed
by COIOred Women.

Nettie Miles. Ida Woods, Lulu Jones,
Blanche Flowers. Helen Sonora and Luz
ellie Morrison, six colored women of the
prescribed district, Saturday morning were
given the alternative of a jail sentence or
an immediate departure from the city. The
women chose the latter and promised to
leave instanter.
Chief Of Detectives Dunn and Sergeant
Cook testified the women had been robbing
strangers with a strong hand for some
months, the evidence always being of such
a character as to secure the women's re-
lease In court on a felony charge, while
jail sentences apparently had no effect on
them.
During the last few weeks the police
have received numerous complaints from
strangers in the city who have been robbed
by the women In question, so the COM
plainants said. AS the money is never To-
Gated, and as the women are sharp enough
to take the money while the victim is
either asleep or "off watch" the police
find themselves against a hard PROPOSE
ton.
