PRIMARY LAW HELD VALID.
Supreme Court Upholds Dodge Meas.
ure in Its Essential Features.

Lincoln, Nov. 13.-The supreme
court held the Dodge primary election
law valid and capable OF enforcement,
though it declared unconstitutional
three of its sections. The writ of man
damus asked for by Clerk Adair, nom
inee of the Socialist ticket, to have
the Socialist nominees placed on the
ticket, though nominated by a conven
ton, vas refused. The sections de-
clared unconstitutional are these: The
n making the primary day the first
day of registration; that n requiring
l per cent as a filing fee by the can
didate, and the one regulating the
form of the ballot. The fact that
these sections do not render the law
as a whole incapable of enforcement
does not in the opinion of the court
invalidate the entire law and it is con,
s%equently held to be valid and con,
stitutional.

CATTLEMEN PLEAD GUILTY.
Richards and Comstock Admit Fenc-

Omaha, Nov. 1.-two of the rich
est and most influential cattlemen or
Nebraska-Bartlett Richards and Will

TO the charge of unlawfully fencing
government land, have thrown them
selves upon the mercy of the court
and have been sentenced. They
begged leniency and received 1t upon
the ground that for some time past,
and at the present time. their en-
ployes are diligently at work in re-
moving fences which ~unlawfully in

land In Sheridan county.
Unlike John and Herman Krause,
who were convicted upon a similar
charge at the May term OF the federal
court, neither Richards nor Com
stock were alleged in the indictments

was n of the reasons, 1t is claimed,
why the defendants in this case re-
ceived a comparatively light sentence.
Their fine was $500 each and each will
be obliged to pay half of the costs.
