South Omaha, belonging to Linn RUBY.

Oregon. and with trying to cash two forged

for S15 First he tried to cash the check
for the large amount at the Hospe piano
store on Main street, and failing to do So
then asked Mr.. over, the manager, to cash
the one for s15. Mr.. Over was suspicious
I and notified the police. Failing to cash the
checks at the Hospe store, Russell at
tempted to cash the ST. one at the tailor
shop of Carl Herr and later at the saloon
of Charles Leibold. Further attempts to
raise money on the checks was stopped by
the police who took Russell into custody.

suit cases. disposed of some of the articles
| in them, but only part have been recovered.

DIES MONIES, oct 19-(SpeciaD-By
a decision OF the supreme court, handed
down today. the amendment to the ped
dlers license law is declared to have
been improperly drawn and hence is of no
force and effect and the old law is put
in force. The old law allowed county
supervisors to impose a license of from
81 to $50 year on 'peddlers," giving no
definition to peddler. The amendment
adopted at the session of the legisla-
ture in 1904 attempted to change the law
so as to impose greater fees on peddlers
In the interests OF regular merchants.
1t permitted a license OF from IS 10
500 to be imposed by supervisors and
attempted to define "peddlers" as apply
ing to any transient merchant or itin-
Grant vendor selling by sample or taking
orders for present or future delivery"
The title to the act making the amend
ment designated only "peddlers," and the
supreme court holds that new class of
persons cannot be brought under the
law by merely making the definition in
the body of the act, but that the new
class must be mentioned in the title to
the act as we'll. 1t was recognized that
the old law had little effect in limiting
the number of men who Travelled about
the state taking orders for mail order
houses and the like. The new law was
intended to do that. The decision OF
the court was in the case of State against
Ed Bristow, appellant, OF Plymouth
county, who Travelled about taking or
ders from samples for the Great Western
Tea company. In the district court the
state won and this is now reversed
