But no one offered aid in response
to the call. A moment later, twisting

The murderer was caught and is
now in Jail, awaiting his trial He
was not caught, however, until he had
been nearly lynched by the angry mob

When that crowd realized the trag'

saw that innocent man, as harmless as

jim YOUNG GETS A NV TRIAL
Colored Driver Of Race Horses Who
Drove In Norfolk Races.

James Young. the colored driver of
race horses, sentenced to fifteen years
for killing Samuel Winter at the state
fair grounds one year ago, has secured
n reversal and will have the privilege
of new trial. The court reversed the
Judgment of the Lancaster county
court because the court failed to in
struct the jury regarding the law of
domicile. The court holds that the
box stall at the fair grounds where
Young was sleeping when Winter and
Wagner broke into it, was in n legal
sense his domicile The defense was
that Young was defending his domicile
and his person. The court refused in
structions on the law of this theory
and such refusal is now assigned as
the ground for reversal The opinion
was written by Judge Barnes. Young
has been at liberty on bail.
Young was the colorcd driver who
drove in the Norfolk races n few
weeks ago and later in the races at
Battle Creek, Tilden and Creighton.

O'Neill Frontier: The manipulat.
ors of the affairs of the defunct Elk
horn Valley bank are trying to devel-
op another lead. Their solemn pledg-
es, high formed promises and deftly
drawn plans of having the examiner
and his bond company pay out the de-
falcations of the bank officials have
been abandoned and the buncoed de-
positOrs are now being besought to en-.
ter into a set of stipulations of anoth-
er character
To those who have observed the va
rious phases of the manipulation of
the wreckage strange conclusions
come. Offers of various kinds have
been presented and promises of speedy
settlement and payment in full, with
the net result that ten months after
the failure the depostors have re-
ceived twenty per cent of their money.
Some few have effected a settlement
for GO per cent. Of their deposits.
Now another offer is made. Recent.
ly long conference was held in the
Office of the attorney for the wreckers
where the depositors were asked to
accept in settlement the cash now in
the hands of the receiver the Hagerty
home and $4,000 worth of stock in the
Clipper mine owned by McGreevy as
security for the balance, McGreevy to
have two years in which to pay. 1t is
also understood that as a part of the
compact criminal proceedings against
the bank officials will be forever dis.
posed with.
Some few of the depositors with
whom we have conversed look with
disfavor on this latest proposition and
say the only way in which they care
to settle is cash in full. They do not
consider that the proposition carries
with enough cash to warrant them ac.
