ALLEN GRILLS EDITOR

Bail Last Year.
Former Senator Allen of Madison
grills Editor Miller of Newman Grove
I'm this weeks issue of the Madison
Post. Incidentally he discusses the
legality of Judge Barnes act in grant.
ing bail to Herman Boche pending su-
preme court action on the latter's ap-
peal. before he was sent to the peni-
tentiary. The Post says:
Filosofer Miller.
Our great and good friend Filosofer
Miller of the Newman Grove Reporter,
Notwithstanding he Is graduate of
self capable of making serious mis-
takes. The fllosofer's first mistake
consists in the belief that a man who
has not graduated at Yale is unedu-
Gated and incapable of seeing men
and measures in their true light. The
flosofer's second mistake consists in
settling on the broad plains of Ne
braska, among people he Is accus.
toned to regard as yokels, loquendi
Yalibus, upon the supposition that his
filosofy will lead them into the philo-
aophicai errors he himself constantly
commits. Filosofer Miller's third mis-
take consists in his writing his edi-
torials in the first person singular,
with the intention, no doubt, of max
Ing 1t clear to his wide and constantly
increasing constituency Of yokels that
his filosofy Is unmixed and bears the
true Yale brand. The filosofers fourth
mistake consists In his attempts, be-
tore his shoe-soles have become warm
upon the soil of Nebraska, to make the
world believe that Mr.. Justice Barnes
of the supreme court, who for forty
years has been one Of the great jur-
lists Of the west, is unqualified to oc.
cupy a place upon the supreme bench
OF this state. Whether Filosofer Mill
er really believes what he says about
Judge Barnes or objects to the jurist
because his education Is not of the
Yale type, will probably never be
known. as the tilosofer, like Major
Joey Bagstock, is sly, devilish sly, and
sometimes inclined to mask his mas.
ter purposes beneath a flow of col
Filosofer Miller shows that he is not
Filsofer Miller shows that he is not
well up in the history Of Jurisprudence
when he refers to what the jurors in
the Boche case say, because II the Al
osofer understood the real situation,
he would know that Hon. A. A. Welch
presided at the trial of that case, and
that Judge Barnes was neither in the
court room nor In the county at that
time. The filosofer grumbles and
mumbles a good deal, but makes no
specific charge. Probably the filoso-
Her's real contention is that Judge
Barnes ought not to have admitted
Boche to bail before his trial and con-
Viction, but as both the constitution
and the statute commanded him to do
so, and Judge Barnes took solemn
oath that he would support the consti-
tuition and enforce the law without
fear, favor, fraud or affection, 1t may
become apparent to Filosofer Miller
In the course of time, Notwithstanding
the obstructing influence OF his Yale
education. that Judge Barnes, to per.

Fairfax Woman, However, Discovers
He Has Another Wife.
Sioux Falls, s. D., Aug. 21.-The
residents of Tabor, a thriving little
town in Bonhomme county, have re-
Gently been treated to a series of SEN
sations as the result of developments
growing out of the recent appearance
, at that place of Mrs. Frank Knitted of
Fairfax
She was in search of her recreant
husband, who disappeared from their
home about four years ago-and she
found him living in Tabor under the
name of Frank Brown and with an
other wife in his domicile. Mrs.
KNITTED states that she is his lawful
wife, they having been married four
teen years ago, and he having disap-
peared after they had lived together
about ten years.
KNITTED or Brown has again made his
get away" and this is how 1t came
about. Soon after his first wife had
located him she called upon him and
gave him the alternative of turning
over to her the sum Of $500 for her
support in future or standing trial on
the charge of bigamy. Knitted or
Brown declared to her that he had pro.
cured a divorce from her in Kansas
City, where they had lived for some
years following their marriage, and
pleaded for time to secure documen-
tary evidence showing that he had
secured the divorce as claimed.
It has since developed that this
claim was made solely for the pur.
pose of gaining time so he could put
a good distance between himself and
his first wife.
