Hager Refuses to Honor Warrant

State Auditor S. w. Hager has re-
fused to honor a warrant drawn on
him and indorsed by Gov. Beckham
for $4,000 in favor of T. Kennedy
Helm, of louisville, who was employ
ed by Gov. Beckham several months
ago to assist the County Attorney to
prosecute violators of the Sunday clos
ing law. At the time of the employ
ment of Mr.. Helm, E. w. Bingham
was County Attorney of Jefferson, and
the contrast drawn up and signed by
Mr.H elm and the Governor was to the
effect that he was to receive a fee of
$500 for every prosecution conducted,
and entire amount, however, not to
exceed 81, 900.
Mr.. Helm recently put in a claim
for the full amount and it was approv-
ed by Gov. Beckham and turned over
to Judge Hager with instructions that
he should draw warrant on the State
Treasury for that amount in favor of
Mr.. Helm, but Auditor Hager refuses
to obey instructions.

Woman Kills Her Brother.in.Law

Mrs. Emery Gray shot and killed
orother-in-law, William Gray, at But:
Ter, KY, Friday afternoon. He had
quarreled with his people, who tried to
avoid him, and Mrs. Gray locked the
doors to keep him out of her home. He
insisted on being admitted, and was
told to leave or she would shoot. He
continued his efforts to.galn admission,
when Mrs. Gray fired through the door
with a shotgun, the lead striking him
in the temple and passing through the
top of his head, causing instant death.
He was lineman for the Bell Tele-
phone Company at Butler. The general
feeling of the community is that Mrs.
Gray shot in self defense.

POPE TO FRENCH CATHOLICS
Pontiff Seeks to Comfort Faithful In
in Their Trials.

Rome, Jan. 1.-THE O~sservatore
Romano, official organ OF the vatican,
publishes the text of an encyclical ad-
dressed by theIo~ - Venerable
Brothers, ~ Enssbaylops n
Clergy and of the Frencn.'eople." In
this document the pontiff said his
chief object in addressing the faithful
in France was to comfort them in
their sufferings, which he felt deeply.
There was, however, great consola-
ton in the fact that the Catholics OF
France were united. The French gov.
ernment's declaration of wal was not
only against the Christian faith, but
against all spiritual ideas. The
French Catholics must be prepared
for all sorts of trials, but they were
certain OF final victory. Contrary to
statements on the subject, the church
did not desire a religious war, involv'
ing violent prosecutions. Being a mis-
sionary of peace and carrying out heI
mission Loyalty, the church did not
willingly expose herself to war and
prosecutions. as she did not desire to
see her children suffering. Regarding
the ecclesiastical properties, the EN-
cyclical said the pope had not aban
doned them. The French government
had imposed on French Catholics an
organization which the church was
absolutely unable to accept without
imperiling her existence as a divine
institution. The church could not pre-
vent the unjust spoilation in progress
AS for the progressed cultural asso
| Citations, they are contrary to the &c
clesiastical hierarchy given to thu

LAND MEN FOUND NOT GUILTY
Modisett, Dale and Smoot Are Acquit.
ted by Jury at Omaha.

Omaha, Jan. 11.-"Not guilty" was
the verdict brought in by the jury
trying A. II. Modisett, Dale and SmOot
acy to get public land for ranch use.
The jury had been out more than
eighteen hours and had come in once
TO ask further instructions.
Albert Modisett, Horace G. Dale and
William Smott were charged with
conspiracy to defraud the government
Of something like 10000 acres of pub
lie land in Sheridan county by means
of fictitious homestead entries. Al.
though Al Marie Modisett, a brother
of Albert, was jointly indicted with
the others, there was no testimony in
troduced to inculpate him, and there
fore Judge Munger instructed the jury
to find a verdict Of acquittal for him.
The indictments charged conspir-
acy to defraud the government of pub.
lie lands and also charged consp piracy
to subornation of homesteaders to
make false oaths.
The ranchmen did not seek to com
bat the testimony introduced by the
government, but acted upon the the
DRY that 1t was lawful to get Indians
to file and to execute grazing contracts
or leases.
The government strove to make its
chief showing on the Indian and sol
diers' widows filings. That those
people were induced to file, not foi
their own exclusive use and benefit
but for the benefit of Modisett, and
that they were procured to swear false
andavits was unquestionably the
strongest phase OF the prosecution
This vas the first land prosecution
In Nebraska in which Assistant Dis
trict Rush failed to get a conviction
