THOMAS GOES UP FOR LIFE
Negro Pleads Guilty in Judge Days
Court and is Sentenced.
AWKWARD SITUATION RELIEVED BY PLEA
Four Days of Failure to Secure IA
Jury Ends in Defendant Admit
ting Guilt and Taking His
Sentence.

Saturday morning John X. Thomas, the
colored man charged with murder in the
first degree sprung something of a surprise
on the county attorney and the court by
offering to plead guilty to murder in the
second degree. After a consultation be-
tween County Attorney Slabaugh, Judge
Day and ]. NJ. Macfarland, representing
the prisoner, Il was decided to accept the
plea.
When called to the bar and asked by the
judge what he had to say for himself be-
fore sentence was passed, Thomas said he
was drunk at the time of the killing Of
Mrs. Sadler on August g. and that he did
not remember any OF the circumstances
connected with the affair.
Judge Day then sentenced him TO life inn
prisonment in the state penitentiary.
The action of Thomas in pleading guilty
relieved the court and the county attorney
Of an awkward situation. For four days
the effort had been in progress to secure
jury. without much success. Because OF
citizens taking advantage of what the law
recognizes as conscientious scruples
against the inhction OF the death pen
atty" three score or more whose names
were called had been excused.
Judge Day had been compelled 90 order
two new drawings Of additional names from
the box and was on the point OF ordering
a further drawing OF additional forty
names. And all the time the expense
was piling up for the county and the
| work OF the court was blocked. Thus the
quick disposition OF the case has UNI
doubtedly saved Douglas county a big
bill Of cost for jurors. testimony and so

TWO CHINESE MUST GET OUT
Judge Munger Orders the DepOrta-
ton of a Pair of the Local
Colony.

Liu Hop and Leo Lung On were taken
into custody Saturday morning by Deputy
United States Marshal Earl Mathews and
later lodged in the Douglas county jail to
await their deportation back to China,
They will be sent to San Francisco as soon
as instructions are received from the COM
missioner general of immigration at WASH
ingtcn.
Judge Munger handed Gown his decision
In the Chinese cases pending before him
an appeal In the United States district
court Friday afternoon, but the result OF
the decision was not made known until
Saturday morning, in order that the two
Celestials ordered deported might not take
the alarm with true Heather Chinee" ac-
umen and disappear.
Several other cases were pending the de-
clsion on appeal from United States Com
missioner Anderson's court, the Chinese
involved being Long Hoy Fun, Leo Sing,
Hung Woh, Tom All Bat, Looy Sing,
HUE Lin, Leo Quon and Lee Yee, and one
or two others. who had been ordered de-
ported by Commissioner Anderson for var
ious causes In each instance was dismissed
and the Chinese excepting Liu Hop and
Leo Lung On, were discharged. much to
their happiness.
All of the Chinese have been residents
Of Omaha from ten to seventeen years,
and each claimed to be exempt from the
| provisions of the Chinese exclusion act
on the grounds that he belonged to the
favored classes, as students, travellers or
merchants. However, it was pretty clearly
shown that the two ordered deported were
actually members of the laboring classes,
being confessed laborers, as walters In
restaurants or laundry workers. and
their deportation was inevitable.

Thrilling Epic Of American Transportation
in Pioneer Days
EXTENT OF THE STAGE COACH BUSINESS
RenarIznbIe Features of Schedule

Trail.

Charles F. Lumms concludes in the No
vember McClure's his thrilling epic of
American transportation. From the turn
ing OF the first wheels in America in the
Spanish heyday OF the sixteenth century to
the days of recent recollection when the
tracklayers pushed across the half-tamed
west, he tells in his strong western idiom
the story OF the heroic age OF travel in
America.
The author has explored afoot or on
horseback all the great trails from Canada
10 Chile. He has ''hoofed it, across the
continent from Cincinnati to the Pacific,
ana whether he writes of conquistador or
Forty-niner his word is authority.
It took men TO journey when travelling
was by trail. and Lummis being of that
mould refuses 20 be reeonciled to the
Pullman:
our passenger transportation" he says,
rs so upholstered with modern inoonven-
iences that 1t Is the least profitable ever
known to NAMES we'll as the dirtiest and
most fatal. 1t Is only within a generation
that human beings would have consented to
travel under penalty Of a palatial sweat
box where the passenger must drink the
sffiuvia of his present fellow passengers
and the cushions OF his predecessors. We
kin more railroad passengers than the In
dams and the cholera slew on the Oregon
and Santa Fe and Overland trails. When
one who stIll knows the Lost Art of Travel
betalkes himself bodily away from the bed

OF heart In lettering back by fancy to the
older days Of transit and transport In the
open. when man had time to live"
Before There Was "A Railroad.

routes to California counting the Panama
steamer)-but Ben Halliday was king. No

first class passenger steamers, plying the
Pacific from san Francisco 90 Oregon,

OF his Overland business he operated nearly
5000 miles OF daily mail stages, with about
500 coaches and express wagons SEQ freight
wagons. 5000 horses and mules and a host
OF oxen.
On the main line he used go horses and
mules, and 100 Concord coaches. II cost

line for the FIRST twelve months cost
