WILEY is QUICKLY CONVICTED
COIOred Man il Found Guilty of
Attempting 10 Kill His
wife.

1t didn't take long for the jury to decide
that Guy Wiley. colored, was guilty of
attempting TO kill his wife in South Omaha
December % 1906 The case was the first
one on the February calendar in the dis
trict court yesterday, when Judge Troup,
relieving Judge Sutton, took his place on
the criminal bench. The jury wasted little
time in pronouncing Wiley guilty of deadly
assault.
According to stories of other colored wit
nesses. the pair had a dispute and rushed
out Of the house, the husband pursuing
the wife. She sustained a cut on the side
of her head from her temple to the back
of the neck Wiley alleged that he was
merely cleaning his finger-nails with u
knife and that they "got to scuftiing some
way and the cutting occurred accidentally.
The police officer who made the arrest
said Wiley, on the way to the station, said
he wished he had killed his wife. letter
was exhibited written by Mrs. Wiley to
her husband while the latter was in jail
in which she said she fully forgave him
for his attempt on her life.
The next case-and II will come up today

the robbery OF saloonlxeeper Wolf and

The first panel of Jurors for the February
term reported Monday morning. An extra
ordinary large number asked to be excused,
but few were allowed to go, as there is a
large grist of business. 1t was expected
that Jim Perry, charged with murder in
the first degree. would be placed on trial

SIX MONTHS AT HARD LABOR
This and Fifty Dollars Fine for
Youth Who Helps to Rob
POstOfhce.

]. Floyd Langdon, a youth of 20 years,
entered plea of guilty before Judge Nun
ger in the United States district court
Monday morning TO being a participant in
the robbery of the postoffice at Seneca
about a year ago. The maximum penalty
is a fine of $1,000 and five years imprison-
ment at hard labor.
Judge Munger deferred passing sentence
until late Monday afternoon in order that
the question of a minimum sentence could
be looked into and finally fixed the sem
tence at six months Imprisonment in the
Dodge county jail at hard labor and a fine
of $50. Deputy Marshal ]. o. Moore took
the boy TO Fremont Monday evening.
1t appears Langdon. whose home is at
Horton. Kan, went 10 Seneca to engage
in work as maehinist and plumber, and
while there got into bad company and was
persuaded by some older associates to as
sist in breaking into a store in which the
postoffice was located.
The amount of plumber obtained was
trivial including $1.14 in postage stamps.
Langdon was arrested, escaped from the
custody of the sheriff, was again appre-
hended in Pleasanton. Kan, brought back
to Nebraska and lodged in the Douglas
county Jail, where he has since been con-
fined. His father came to Omaha Saturday
and after a consultation with the boy Der
suaded him TO enter a plea of guilty an.
throw himself on the mercy OF the court.
II was shown In the hearing before the
grand jury which indicted young Langdon
that this was his first onfense, and the
court is disposed to deal with the lad
leniently.

RAILROADS HAVE NEW CLUB
Iowa Lines Threaten to Advance All Grain
Rate PropOrtionsls
KNocKoN OMAHA AND BOOST FOR CHICAGO
Increase of One and Quarter Cents
which VIII Restore Basis of
Rates Before Abolition of
Elevation Charges.

Grain men are stirred up over the rumor
which is aloat that the Iowa lines intend
to advance all proportional grain rates IA
cents per hundred in the near future, pre-
sumably April /. This will be practically
a restoration 10 the old basis of rates,
which was I'm effect before the railroads
decided to abolish the payment of Ia cents
elevation charges and reduced the rates to
that extent. This will be a raise i'm the
railroad charges of just that much, because
under the old system this ia cents was
refunded in the way OF an elevation charge.
Local grain dealers say the Omaha Grain
exchange will fight this move 20 stand
stlll but so far nothing has been done
officially as the railroads have not openly
announced the advance While the in
creased rate would turn from Omaha to
chicago the grain originating at only
9 y stations IN Iowa, the exchange Will
light on a point OF principle, II for nothing
else If the roads were allowed to raise
the proportionals once without protest,
they might soon make another advance of
such moment that all the Iowa grain would
be diverted from Omaha TO Chicago.
Three Reasons for the Advance.
Three reasons for the proposed advance
are suggested. In the first. place, It would
be a favor to Chicago and some Of the
roads have recently shown their friendli-
ness TO that market by attempting to abol-
ish the proportionals entirely. The ru-
mored move is said 10 be a method OF
abrogating the proportionals by gradual
increase. The second reason is the rail-
roads recognize a probability that the In
terstate Commerce commission will allow
the payment of elevation charges at
Omaha, and If they are to pay elevation
they want to provide for it's payment out
of the farmers pockets.
Finally, the railroads fear the Nebraska
legislature will demand a reduction in
freight rates between Nebraska points and
Omaha, and they mean to get the rates
east of Omaha as high as possible before
the legislature takes action. thinking per-
haps the threat may estop action. Then II
the worst comes the state could not de-
mand so great a reduction from Nebraska
points TO Omaha as Il would ask had not
the rate from Omaha TO Chicago been
raised.
