BANKER wGREEvY is SET FREE
Judge Charges Prosecution with Had
Faith and Dismisses Gases.

BASSETT. Neb. April 21.-CSpecial Tele-
gram. Exposing his disapproval of tho
action of the complaining witness and hint
ing at bad faith in the prosecutions Judge
Westover tonight dismissed eight cases OF
the state OF Nebraska against Bernard
McGreevy, which were transferred from
Holt county to this county on a change
Of venue and were to have been tried at
this term. A jury was empaneled in one
OF the cases Friday afternoon, and this
morning when the trial was about to be
commenced a recess was requested and
the day was consumed by complaining wit
nesses and counsel Of defendant in trying
TO effect a settlement These cases grew
out of the failure of the Elkhorn Valley
bank of O'Neil, Of which the defendant
was president. At the time Of the failure
McGreevy, with Patrick Hagerty, the
cashier, fed and McGreevy was later cap
tured in Arizona and brought back It
appears that the complaining witnesses
were unable to agree among themselves
on terms of settlement, though It is re-
ported that an offer was made by de-
PENDANTS counsel which would have re-
suited practically in payment in full OF the
indebtedness OF the bank. The attempt at
settlement was wholly between the COM
planning witnesses and counsel for de-
PENDANT and the prosecuting attorney, and
the court was In no way connected with IT,
Court reconvened tonight at o'clock

| approval Of the action OF the complaining
witnesses and stated that it was his opin-
! ion no convictions could be secured In the
/ cases on account Of the fact that It had

seemingly being prosecuted in good faith.
/ He declared that not another dollar Of
| Holt county money should be used in pros
/ ecutine these cases and he thereupon sum
marily dismissed all Of the cases on his
own motion and discharged the defendant.
In his statement he full exonerated County
/ Attorney Mullen. who was leading counsel
for the state.
/ The April term Of district court for Rock
county has been in session all week and

WOLF TRACK VS.. DOG TRACK.
There Is Little Whereby to pistin-

guIsh the Difference.
7. is we'll at this time to compare
the track of the dog with that of the
wolf, especially since the reintroduc-
ton Of wolf hunting as a popular
sport in the north of England. /
have made dozens of drawings, casts,
prints, photographs and studies Of
wolf and dog tracks. and have not
found a single reliable feature that
will distinguish them, writes Ernest
Thompson Seton in Country Life in
America. One hunter says tho wolf
has the relatively small outer toes.
Yes, sometimes, but not when com
pared with the collie. Another says
that the wolf foot is longer, but not
when compared with that of a gray
hound, staghound or lurcher. Another
declares that the VOLTS foot is larger.
yet 1t will not rank in size with that
OF a St. Bernard or a Great Dane.
The wolf lifts his feet neatly without
dragging his toes. but SO do many
dogs. especially country dogs. Thus
all these diagnostics fail.
On the whole. a wolf is a better
walker than a dog, his tracks do US
ually register. but not always, aud in
some wolves rarely.

Although the lecture was in French,
great crowds were attracted, perhaps
more to gaze upon the celebrated de-
