JOHN HAALIN bUND Guilty
Fall County Jury be |dss that Convicted
&urdsrss hat Fang
V.ROIcT RETURNED AIRY THIS MORNING
Rachel EnRIe WI shot in August
Last Year and fingered Until
JnnuRry--InmIin once
PLEADED Guilty.

GRAND ISLAND Neb., April 3O.-Cspe-
eial Telegram TIE jury in the case of
John Hamlin at $50 o'clock this morning
returned a verdict of murder ID the first
degree and decided that Hamlin shall suf-
fer death.
Hamlin was tred for the murder of
Rachel Engle a I-year-old girl, who was
shot In August, .0O6, and fingered until
January, 1907, be bre she died. Hamln is
about 40 years oh.
The case went 10 the jury at $3.50 last
night.
Upon electing A. r. Edwards as fore
man, the jury d ok a ballot on guilty or
not guilty of Murder In first degree and
eleven were for guilty and one for not
guilty. Three formal and nine informal
ballots were talen on this question. 1t
developed that his was accomplished be-
fore the jury took supper at l o'clock this
morning. Upon its return the question
of penalty was balloted upon, the same
juror wiz stood out for not guilty, standing
out against the death sentence and his
main point OF argument was that the
breaking of the cathcter and resultant OPP
GRAFTON was in favor OF the defendant At
$40, unanimity was reached. Hamlin feels
depressed and says only. I'm gone"
though he took the sentence quite stoically.
Mart Kent, father of the girl says.
Justice has been done: but for the ex-
tensive use OF the pardoning power, life
sentence might have been just and suf-
ficient."
History of the Case.
Hamlln and a party of young people were
coming down town from the home of Miss
Engle one evening during carnival week
when Hamlin suddenly drew back and
aside and without warning drew a gun and
shot Miss Engle a second shot fiared in
the face of one Smith, who was walking
with Miss Engle at the time. Miss Engle
was shot in the back. Hamlin fed, ran
TO the Engle home stole Smiths bicycle
and made for the north A heavy rain
put the wheel out of business and the next
morning he was arrested by the village
marshal OF Dannebrog, suspected of being
the wanted man. Brought back to Grand

Members of the State Board of Assess
ment are figuring on getting the assessment
of railroad property attended to in record
breaking time. The board meets next Mon
day and 1t will at once get busy, having
already most of the tangible property tabu-
lated, with the exception of the Union Pa
cihc, which has not yet sent in its report.
Some members of the board are of the
opinion they will be just as capable of
making the assessment in a week as they
will be II they listen to the railroad repre-
sentatives for a month or more, as has
been the practice in the past Members
who have expressed themselves are per-
fectlv willing to allow the railroads to
send down speakers and tax agents to show
how poor the property is and to explain
their reports, but they are not willing to
give repeated hearings, as they believe they
are able to arrive at the proper value OF
railroad property from the reports filed
and other information which has been Sc
cured and which will be secured before
next Monday It is understood the first
thing the board will do will be to agree
upon rules of procedure relating to the
way of determining the value Of property.
This probably will be about all that is
done at the first meeting. Then the rail-
road men will be given an opportunity to
be heard. and If there are any who want
TO talk against the railroads they may
come in and do so.

Grand Jury Induces VacatIons.


II is evident that some citizens of Lin
coin are becoming anxious about the grand
Jury which has just begun to grind here
as a district Judge is authority for the
Abatement that fifteen or twenty citizens
wanted as witnesses had suddenly left
the city. Just how these men learned
that they were to be summoned is not of
record 80 far as this judge knows, but
he was of the opinion there was a pretty
big leak somewhere around the court
house. The grand jury was called for
the purpose ostensibly Of looking into the
alleged election frauds, but II is under
stood the alleged bridge graft will oc
cupy much more Of its time, while other
matters of Importance to the people Of
the city and state may be taken up as
the grand jury has the right TO dig into
anything that looks bad to IL. John
Towle. a bridge man of Omaha, came
down this morning and a subpoena was
issued for r. q. Drake of Omaha, another
bridge man, but the summons has not yet
been served on him. John Battin, attor-
ney for the Standard Bridge company, Of
which Drake IS the head, came down to-
day TO look into what is going on.
Another Aspirant for Collector.
Another candidate has broken into the
race for the Elmer Stephenson job, which
Ross Hammond and w. B. Rose are after.
This new aspirant is James Watson Of
Hebron, a travelling man, who has friends
who say he has always been a hard work
ing republican, never asked for public
recognition before and really a good man
for the place. Mr.. Watson has been In
Lincoln recently putting up a few pegs
with the hope that lightning will strike.

GREAT NORTHERN ACCEPTS
MINNESOTA RATE Law

Minneapolis. April 23.-The Great
Northern railroad has decided to &C.
cept without contest the two cent pas
senger rate law, which will 20 into
effect in this state May l, AMI the
commodity freight law, which will 20
into effect June l.
The decision of Hills road was made
public on the floor of the lower house
of the Legislature by Representative
L. G. Spooner, chairman of the house
railroad committee. Mr. Spooner
stated to the house that President
Louis w, Hill had assured him few
hours before that orders had heen is
sued to put the now rate, passenger
and freight, into effect as soon as the
laws became effective.
The decision of the Great Northern
to accept the action of the state legis-
lators without contest will, it is be-
lieved, by similar action on the part
of all the other roads in the state, as
the Great Northern holds the key to
the situation since both the 500 and
the Northern Pacific are practically
forced to follow the lead of Fill, and
the Southern lines are not likely to
contest either of the laws il the three
big Northern lines accept them.

TO FORCE RECIPROCITY

French Government Imposes MAXIMUM
Duty ON American Coffee.
Washington, April 20.-The issuance
in Paris of the decree imposing the
maximum duties on coffee imported
from the United States and Porto
R leo is said at the state department
to be due to the dissatisfaction OF the
French government at the failure OF
the United States senate to act upon
the French reciprocity treaty which
has been pending before that body
for several years. Added t o this, 1t
is asid, is suspicion on the part OF
tbeF renoh government that the ne
gotiations now in progress between
the United States and Germany rela-
tive to the tariff upon American goods
imported into Germany conceals some
advantage to be bestowed upon Ger
man trade with the United States in
which French trade is not to share.
The decree is regarded as the begin
ming of systematic effort to bring
such pressure to bear upon the Ameri-
can congress through the imposition
of restrictions upon the Aperican ak.
port trade as will force the whole sub
ject of reciprocity upon it's attention
at the beginning Of the next session.
The state department officials fear
that this action is but the precursor
of similar attacks upon American
trade by other nations Of Europe.
The effect of the French decree, it
is probable, will be disastrous to
Port, Rico, which finds almost its
only non-American market for coffee
in France. now that the Spanish mar
ke5 is closed by excessive duties.
