C. Jameson and Aquilla Triplett in the
United States district court and sen.

Charles C. Jameson and Aquilla Trip
lett. $500 in fine and eight months
each in the Douglas county jail.
The attorneys for the defendants at
once gave notice that they would file
a petition in error, which is equiv
alent to an appeal to the United
States circuit court of appeals for the
Eighth circuit. The appeal bond was
at once fixed at $4,000 in the case OF
each defendant, which was promptly
given.

Comstock the government centered its
forces. They are considered the
wealthiest ranchmen of Nebraska,

Cherry and Sheridan counties. A

TRAINNEN VOTE 70 STRIKE
REJECT RECENT OFFER OF THE
GENERAL MANAGERS.
$4,000 MEN MAY QUIT WORK
Railroad officials Will Hold Another
Conference With Disaffected En-
ployes Before Strike Order is Issued.
official Canvass of Vote Begins.

Chicago, March 20.-Trainmen and
of Chicago have rejected the recent
offer of the general managers OF the
systems for an increase in wages, ac-
cording to information reaching the
Record Herald. The official canvass
of the referendum vote, which has
been in progress for a fortnight, will
begin today. 1t is stated further that
the trainmen have voted to strike If
their demands are not granted. I'M
less the railroad managers offer fur
Their concessions, a strike OF $4,000
men is likely to result.
When the conference between rep
resentatives Of the employees and the
companies adjourned Feb. q it was
with the understanding tat another
conference would be held after the
men had voted upon the managers
offer. This second meeting Is *
pected to be held next week. The
managers have already offered to
submit the entire controversy to arbi-
t|ration, but it is stated that this prop
osition has also been rejected by the
voting members of the unions.
The offer which the men are said
to have rejected was for an increase
of 10 per cent to men in the freight
service and of $40 a month to con-
ductors, Sc a month to baggagemen
and S. a month to brakemen and flag.
men in the passenger service.
The men originally asked an In
crease of IS per cent, with an eight
hour day on through freight trains.
but later these demands were reduced
to a wage increase of II per cent and
n rine-hour day. 1t was explained to
the men when the vote was started
that a verdict rejecting the offers of
the railroad managers would carry
with it a strike vote. AS the matter
now stands the strike vote has been
carried, but no order TO quit will be
issued until a further conference.

ON TRIAL FOR THIRD TINE
AUGUST scHRoEDER'o ALLEGED
SLAYER AGAIN FACES COURT.
TWICE SENTENCED TO HANG
Strange Case Of Charles Rocker,
Whose Awful Dream 10 Alleged to
Have Revealed Guilt, 10 Being Heard
by Judge Gaynor at SibIey, la.

Sibley, Ia. March 20.-Twice found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged for
the murder of August Schroeder, his
employer. Charles Rocker, who mar
ried ~Schroeder's widow and in a
dream enacted the crime, is standing
trial for the third time for his life.
Mrs. Rocker is the principal wit.
ness Cor the state. She declared
Rocker confessed the murder to her
the morning following the night he be.
trayed himself in his sleep.
The first trial was held in Rock
Rapids, Lyon county, the scene of the
crime, and the supreme court, on ap-
peal. ordered a new trial. The second
trial was held here in Osceola county,
where 1t was brought on a change Of
venue. Judge Hutchinson finally
granted a new trial on a legal techni-
cality. The case is now being heard
by Judge Gaynor.
Five years ago, July 4, Schroeder,
a well-to-do German farmer, and his
hired man, Rocker, went to a celebra-
ton at Rock Rapids, returning home
after nightfall. Shortly after their ar.
rival at the house Schroeder became
sick and went out onto the porch. The
hired man followed to attend him and
did not return for thirty minutes.
When Rocker came back he told Mrs.
Rocker that her husband was better
and had asked her to retire. Upon
awakening at daylight she discovered
that her husband had not re-entercd
the house. Calling Rocker, she made
a search and in the barn she found
the corpse of Schroeder swinging
from a rafter.
At the coroner's inquest a verdict OF
suicide was returned. A year after
the death Rocker married Schroeders
widow. They moved TO a farm near
Dell Rapids, s. d. One night Mrs,
Rocker was awakened by = terrific
yell. She saw her husband with a
pillow clutched in his bands and en-
acting the role of a man throttling
another.
With wide, staring eyes. the som
nambulist shouted, as his strong fin
gers dug deeper and deeper into the
pillow:
"Tll kill you August! Die, d-mr
you! Die. Why don't you die?"
The woman next morning at break
fast boldly accused Rocker of murder
ing her former husband. The mar
coolly confessed, telling her h'
drugged the beer which Schroeder
drank and then fearing he would no
die, he strangled him to death, after
ward carrying the body to the barr
and hanging it to a rafter to give thu
appearance OF suicide.
