Government Would Deprive Sioux
City Man Of Government Papers.
Sioux City. July 20.-Desiring to
enforce to the letter the technicalities
of it's immigration laws. the United
States government is investigating
very closely all applications that are
made for admission to the citizenship
of this country, and the latest victim
of these laws is Solomon Baron, Of
Sioux City, against whom complaint
has been made in the federal court
by Milton NJ Dearing, special United
States attorney for the northern dis
trict and against whom action to take
commenced by f. IT, Faville, United
States district attorney.
The fact that one of Baron's wit
nesses, did not see him for only a
week in 1905 and 1906 is sufficient
ground for the government to bring
charges that his witness, Frank
Sloutzky. is not competent and that
his evidence as to Barons residence
here is ont good. This is in accord
ance with the governments holding
that witnesses must know the alien
for five years continuously.
Baron was examined in November
%, 1907, and on March Is, 1908, was
by the district court admitted as a
citizen. The charges that this admis-
sion was not legal are made by
Allan F. Church, of st. Louis, one Of
the examiners for the district. This is
the second case Of this nature that
has been brought in this division Of
the federal court.

Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, July 20.--The Nebraska
supreme court, iD affirmation of Its
statutes, has ruled against the petition
Of Leonard B. Robinson. of Sioux City,
who asked that he be allowed to prac-
tice law generally in the courts of Ne
braska. While the decision of the Ne
braska court made yesterday makes
the conditions of Iowa attorneys in the
Nebraska courts no worse, 1t does not
better than condition one iota. and
merely holds that it's old statutes for
bidding the general practice of outside
attorneys in Nebraska are good and
Interchangeable.
Attorney Robinson, as well as many
other Sioux City lawyers has consid-
cradle business in Dakota county, Me-
braska, and to facilitate the practicing
of law in the counties along the river
application was made for as much
freedom as Is given the resident law
yers Of the state. In line with the pro-
tective policies of Nebraska. the per-
mission was refused by the supreme
court, 1t remaining steadfast In the po-
sition that any attorney outside of Me-
braska must first secure special privi-
lege or permission from the district
or supreme court of the state before
appearing in any Nebraska litigation.

Charles Brown Dies From Injuries Re-
ceived in Quarrel.
Cresco, July 20.-A "keg party"
little spree, and then few hours
beastly drunkenness has just resulted
in the death of one man and may cause
another the loss Of his liberty for the
rest of his lifetime. Charles Brown,
the dead man, died Of injuries sustained
at the hand Of Alfred Crawford. who
beat Brown, jumped on his abdomen
and otherwise assaulted him. Craw-
ford is now in Jail here, very peni-
tent man, bitterly condemning himself
for his indulgence in booze"
The whole affair happened at the
farm of Charles Brown. Crawford and
George Brown, son of the dead man,
took out from town a key of beer for
high time" They filed themselves
with the intoxicant and by the time
Brown the senior came home. Crawford
especially was in a fighting mood.
When the elder Brown called him to
account for annoying Browns little
daughter, Crawford resented 1t and
struck the older man down. Infatuated,
Crawford followed up his first assault
py jumping on tne proStrate man ana
inflicting injuries from which he later
died.
Crawford says he has no recollection
Of what he did. While he was still part
ly drunk he came into Cresco. called on
the mayor and offered to pay a fine,
telling in drunken way that he had
licked somebody. He was held and
when the facts became known was
cited to appear before the grand jury In
October.
Crawford Is young man and mar
ried.
