Lincoln, Neb., July 13.--It is be-

upon his campaign manager. He is
clared to have said so during con-
ference with P. IL. Hall, Nebraska
member of the new national commit

The two debated the campaign situa-
ton, but at the termination of the in

would only say that the final selection
rested between Daniel J. Campau of
Michigan, John p. Lamb Of Indiana,
Congressman Ollie James of Ken
lucky and John H. Atwood Of Kansas.
Mr.. Hall also stated that most OF the
national committee were agreed upon

nouncement would not be made until
after the conference of the full com

Since it is not now necessary to
get the consent of any political boss
to be a candidate for office, and the
people will choose their own candi-
dates at the primary election the
woods are full of would-be candidates
who have petitions out for the various
offices and whose names will be p1ae-
ed upon the primary tickets for the
people to choose between them.
The latest person to make his bow
to the public in this regard is Rich
ard A. Peltier, of this city, who would
like to be sheriff. Peltier announced
this morning that he was out for the
republican nomination for sheriff and
would canvass the county in his eff
fort to win. He says he has had
fourteen years experience as con-
stable and as a court official and he
understands thoroughly the sheriff's
office and the prosecutors as we'll.
'Tell the people that this Is no
joke" said Peltier this. morning.
Tell them that no party machine or
party boss can lay hands on me.

If the people elect me sheriff | will

they will have the law enforced with

as one of no disorderly houses and
every law strictly enforced. I de-
pend upon the people to do the rest.
II will not only root out the Grim
inals and law-defying establishments
In the county, but will draw grand
juries That will indict every man
against whom sufficient evidence is
produced, no matter who he may be-
I will see to it that the evidence is
produced, too"
Peltier was in dead earnest when
he spoke. He says he has friends
about the county who will help him
out and he thinks he stands as good
chance to win, as any of them. He
now has his petition out and his
name will appear on the primary
ticket, anyway. If the republicans
of the county want Peltier for their
candidate they can have him.
Peltier has done much effective
work for the sheriff and prosecutor
in past years in hunting out crime.
He Is familiar with this sort of work,
having been very close to some sher-
IFS and prosecutors. He knows a
great many things about which the
ordinary citizen is most DrObablv in
Ignorance. If anyone knows where
to find the law violators Peltier
ought to be the man.

Policeman Hartmann Walking Past.
Saw Mcneil Stagger Through
Door, Badly Wounded.
POOL CUE FIGURE IN THE FRAY

Il was playing pool with the bar
tender in the room alongside Of tho
barroom when saw Blom enter with
a knife in his hand and stab Mcneil
in the breast. He jabbed him sever
al times before l realized what was
taking place. l had a pool cue in my
hand and, breaking 1t over my knee,
smashed him over the head with
it. He tried to stab Mcneil again
and | struck him second time with
the cue. Samuel Blom, brother Of
McNeil's assailant, then grabbed me
around the waist and l hit him be-
hind the ear
When questioned by Chief Burke
in regard to the statement Of Blom
that Mcneil had struck him, Johnson
said that, to his knowledge, nothing
of the kind had taken place.
A charge of stabbing with intent
to kill was preferred by Patrolman
Hartmann, as Mcneil was unable to
Sign a complaint
John Blom, the man who did the
stabbing, is thirty years old and was
employed in the saloon as a porter.
The knife with which he cut Mcneil
was common potato knife which he
secured from behind the bar. DR..
Meinzer took two stitches In his fore
head, where he was struck with the
cue.
William Mcneil, the victim, is a
ship caulker, and lives at Broad and
Rector streets.
The knife which was used cannot
be found and Bloom, when asked
where 1t was, said ne lew s. -
one of the sanitaries In the saloo' !
When the ambulance reached l.
police station there were at least 50t1
people present.
John Blom was committed to the
county Jail without bail Samuel
Blom, his brother, who was arrested
as a witness, was discharged.
At the city hospital this morning
it was stated that the wounded man
was doing as well as could be expect
ed, although there is danger of pneu-
monia setting in, due to the wound
in his lungs.
The police have secured the names
of James H. McCloud and Nels Jen-
sen, together with Johnson, as wit
nesses.

KEROSENE TRACES ARE FOUND

AS was told in the NEWS Saturday
it was believed by the police that the
fires at 521 and 52S State street at
4 o'clock in the morning. were the
work of an incendiary. and Chief
Burke detailed Patrolman l.. c. Jen-
sen to investigate.
Jensen spent several hours looking
into the matter and his report which
is given below, confirms the belief
that both buildings were set on fire.:
II find that one fire had nothing to
do with the other Kerosene was

the case with Frank PrzybyIowski,

dicates that the fire was started from

John Blom stabbed William Me-
Neil four times with a knife in the
pool room of Nels Jensen's saloon in
Front street, near Washington street,
at $3.50 o'clock Saturday night.
Patrolman Hartmann happened to
walk by the saloon at the time and
saw a man stagger through the door,
with a wound In his chest. The
policeman rushed inside, but the as
sailant had fled. The ambulance was
called and the injured man removed
to DR.. NJ. s. Meinzer's office, where
it was found that he had been cut in
FIVE places. One Of the thrusts had
penetrated his lungs. over six stitch
es were taken. He was removed to
the hospital.
Before taking the wounded man to
the city physician, Patrolman Hart
mann brought him to the police sta
tion, together with Samuel Blom,
whom he asked Sergeant McDermott
to hold as a witness. Blom said he
had not seen the affray.
Patrolman Hartmann, after seeing
Mcneil sent to the hospital, hurried
to the scene of the stabbing to search
for John Blom. In the meantime
Sergeant McDermott had sent Patrol
man Kozusko to search for the as
sailant When the officer arrived at
the saloon he found that the man,
who had been hiding in the yard
since his deed, was in the barroom
and he at once placed him under ar
rest. Patrolman Hartmann arrived
a few minutes later. The man gave
his name as John Blom, and, as he
had bad cut on his head, the am
bulance was called to take him to DR..
NJ S. Meinzer's office.
Patrolman Hartmann then took
Blom to the police station and locked
him In a cell.
When arraigned before Acting
Recorder Colyer, yesterday morning,
Blom pleaded self-defense, claiming
that he had stabbed Mcneil after the
latter had struck him. After hearing
the story of Arthur Johnson, of
Board and Front streets, who wit
messed the stabhing the recorder
held Blom without bail, to await the
result of McNeil's injuries.
The story of Johnson, who is en-
ployed at the Raritan Dry Docks, was
as follows:
