laboring men generally, We, the me-
chanics and laborers who know Mr.
Bryan and worked on his residence at

facts in connection with our services in
the building of Mr.. Bryan's home. and
We do so regardless of our political
preferences.
when 1t came to Mr.. Bryan's atten-
ton that the men were paying their
own car fare from the city of Lincoln
to Fairview, Mr.. Bryan gave orders to
his superintendent in charge to secure
car tickets and distribute them to the
men. charging the same to Mr..
Bryan's account.

HAD ROBBED DEPOT AGENT.
Eastern Crooks Captured by. the Cove
County Oficials.

Mcpherson, Kan. Oct 28.-Three
young men heavily shacEtsd sat in the
lobby of the Merchants hotel Tues
day. Across the room sat H. A. Cook,
under sheriff of Cove county and his
deputy. Granville Rose. The officers
were taking the prisoners to Hutchin-
son where they will serve a term in
the state reformatory.
The three young men were from
Philadelphia and were a sample of the
invading army of young crooks which
came out of the eastern cities last
summer in search of better picking in
the unprotected west. Like the
greater number of their companions
they found disappointment.
On September 81 the trio, S. A.
Brown. Harry Haywood and Christian
Montague. held up the station agent
at Cove and relieved him of his purse
which contained about thirty dollars.
The station agent naturally resented
the interference and notified the Off
GERS. Neither of the prisoners was
over "a years of age, which makes it
possible for them to get off by serving
a term in the reformatory instead of
in the -penitentiary-

WILL TAKE THE CHANCE.
Although an Appeal May Bring the
Death Penalty.

Manila, Oct. 2S.-Private Mike Bech-
am of the First cavalry, who at Camp
Stotsenburg last May killed four of his
comrades, was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment today by the trial court be-
fore which he appeared. The court
took the view that the crime was I'M
premeditated and the result of a sudden
fit of anger. Under the Spanish law,
therefore, the court held that the cir
cumstances in the case did not war
rant the infiiction of the death penalty.
Becham will probably appeal from this
sentence, although the supreme court
to which his appeal must be directed
has the power to substitute the death
penalty.
