We had a slight rain last Friday
morning, and the indications at one
time were that we would have a very
heavy one. Mr.. NJ. l.. Payne was IN
our office at the time and said that a
big general rain would be worth just
one million dollars to the county, and
that if it had come three weeks ago
or even a fortnight ago it would have
been worth two millions. He says
that the corn crop now depends upon
a good general rain and other crops
likewise will be greatly benefited by a
good shower. The ponds throughout
the county, he says, are drying up
and nearly every we'll in the county
has been dug deeper, as the water
level is six or eight feet further down
than it was three or four years ago.
The problem of watering the range
stock is becoming most serious one.

CHICAGO. May 1s.-Closing of the open

The market had been in session an hour

KEENAN, BEFORE The COURT.
Man Accused of Trying to Bribe
Jurors Has Hearing.
BARRETT TELLS OF GETTING COIN
One Juror says keenan, Gave Him
Forty Dollars When His Earn
tnEs Came to only Thirty
Two Dollars.

j. w. Van Cleve took the stand against
Al keenan, yesterday afternoon before
County Judge Leslie and gave about the
same testimony as Jesse G. Barret had
given in the morning His statement about
the conversation with keenan, In the base
ment of the courthouse when Keenan, is
alleged to have promised money for a
verdict for the street car company in the
Stewart case. was idestical with Barrett's
EXCEPT that Van Cleve said Keenan, pleaded.
Don't squeal on me-" while Barrett's ver-
sion was Don't tell this"
With Van Cleve's evidence the state
rested and the case was adjourned until
this afternoon at p. m. The defense is
expected to put on little or no evidence at
this time but there will doubtless be con-
siderable oratory.
That Keenan, will be bound over by Judge
Leslie to the district court is the opinion
OF the majority of those who heard the
evidence of Van Cleve and Barrett. The
latter Jared unhappiy when his cross
examination was resumed in the afternoon.
He became involved in contradiction with
regard to the insurance of his mother. In
the morning he testified that he told Kee-
nan he wanted some money for that pur-
pose and also testified that he had paid
his mothers insurance several times. In
the afternoon he admitted that he had
never paid the insurance and a little later
said he had misunderstood the question in
the morning Van Cleve was the better
witness of the two and his cross-examina-
ton by A. w. Jefferis afforded nothing
material.
That Keenan, gave Barr EFT $40 during
the transactions between them when Bar
tv,arg 81
the most was one Of the principal points
brought out IN the testimony of Barrett
The trial began with the formal evi,
dence of Asel Steere, jr.. deputy cerk
of the district court, who identified
the official records in the suit of Robert
A. Stewart against the Omaha g. Council
Bluffs Street Railway company. Barrett
followed him and his examination occu-
pied the rest of the morning.
Barrett declared that on the morning OF
Friday, May Z. he and ]. w. Van Cleve
were entering the court house by the north
basement entrance and that they met
Keenan, at the door. Inside, keenan,. Bar
rett declared, said to them:
Il see you fellows are on that case be.
fore Judge Day. There is chance for yol
70 make a piece of money If you return g
verdict for the street car company. That
fellow amt got any case"
Barrett next deposed that his reply to thi,
was:
"oh, 1 couldn't do anything like that. Il
amt right"
"Then." continued the witness, "Keenar
said, For Gods sake. don't tell this. They
could send ME to the PEN"
The witness followed the account of thii
conversation with a statement of the pay
