The Lincoln Stars correspondent
says that bill" Sanderson was arrest
@d for criminal assault upon Mrs.
Manspeaker. This is about as near to
the facts as they usually get unless
the items are purloined from The
Chief. 1t was Humphrey Etherton
who was arrested, and the charge was
adultery. He was released on $500
bond to a ppear at l o'clock this after
noon for a preliminary hearing before
Acting Judge win Edison. ~Sanderson

report, have left the city for parts un-
known, and considering Developments
&n'the case, it is doubtful if the author
titles will take the trouble to hunt
them up. However, should they vol
unfairly return, they will probably be
arrested.
