Worsted by Disguised Gambler.
Pender, Neb., Jan. 19-Quite Il
number of Resale citizens were in
Pender last week watching the move
ments of their neighbors in prospec-
tive legal complications. One day last
week a crowd of ten or twelve men
wrecked the two pool halls of that
town. The attacking party claim that
d. Sailors, one of the pool hall men,
imported a Sioux City gambler to the
reservation town and, dressed as a
corn husker, the Sioux CITY shark
cleaned up all the local sports, and
cleared out. The fellows who were
"heeced" attacked the Sailor place,
smashing up everything, even a $3.50
plate glass window. They then
moved on to the other pool hall and
wrecked all the furniture and tables.
The proprietor, a man named Free
man, objected and in some way two
of his ribs were broken. Up to date
no arrests have been made.

ing of the Elkhorn Valley Medical so

in silence to listen to the reading of
a pamphlet circulated by him and
alleged to have reflected upon other
members of the medical profession.
DR.. Bracking's paper, the first on the

he could proceed objection was raised.
DR.. j. H. Mackay recited certain
charges made by DR.. Bracking in an
advertising pamphlet issued by the lat

be more explicit that the society might

The pamphlet was then handed in
and read aloud by Dr. Beattie of Ne

grievances. 1t was of great length
and reflected on the local medical pro
fession, in addition to presenting what
the doctors present evidently consid-
cred very eXtravagant claims of his

In the discussion which followed
several leading Nebraska physicians
participated. All expressed surprise
at the nature of the pamphlet.
The action taken was to suspend
DR.. Cracking from the society until
the proper committee could pass on
the case. He was not allowed to pro-
coed with his paper, but the floor was
given instead to Dr. A. C. Stokes Of
Omaha.
When DR.. Bracking saw that he
could not read his paper he left the
meeting
Meeting Unusually Successful.
The thirteenth annual meeting,

successful and profitable as any in the

ly of Norfolk, returned verdict of not
guilty. Incidentally Judge Sears scored
the jury in no uncertain terms after
being appraised of the verdict returned
"In my entire experience upon the
bench | have never seen Il case which
to my mind was more clearly proven
than this one against Wotmoro," said
Judge Sears.
1T is difficult to believe there was
man of the twelve Jurors who did noe
believe the testimony given by PROSE
cutOr Daniel, Dean Bcocher and Canon
Bell.
There are considerations which
may move jurors in their deliberations,
but with these it is not my province
to deal at this time.
"If our public offices cannot be pre-
served in their integrity it is a severe
blow to our government and institlE-
tons"
A brief summary of the case fol-
lows:
John J. Wetmore, private detective,
was charged with Offering City Prose-
cutor Daniel $500 down and 5000 q
month in order to get him to stop
prosecuting the owners and inmates %
the Arcade.
The trial was marked with sens;l-
;ional features. The first day after -
| jury had been nearly secured, twenty
talosmen who had been drawn for tho
case were dismissed by Judge Sears.
as it had been shown that some of
| them had gone to the deputy sheriffS
and asked to be put on the jury in this
| trial.
Following this came Prosecutor Dar-
iels story that Wetmore had repeat
eddy visited him and finally showed
him a bullying pocket and told him
Martin would pay him the money to-
stop the prosecution.
In redirect examination Mr.. Daniel
further testified that Wetmore, in try
ing to get him to accept the bribG,
had told him that Martin was paying
Chief of Police Donahue $3.50 month
and former Prosecutor Tom Lee,
while he was in office, 5000 a month,
during the time that the Arcade was
open.

Hadar is a village of two or three
hundred people five miles north Of

Team of Horses Stolen Here.

A team of horses were stolen from
the stables of the Standard Oil com
pany in Norfolk last night and it is
thought that possibly this theft may
have some connection with the Hadar
bank robbery.
The team was a black and a bay.
The barn stands near the oil tanks
on North Seventh street, the road lead
ing straight to Hadar.
When J. w. White. manager\of the
local office of the Standard company,
went to the barn at a. m. to feed
the horses, he found the barn pad
lock had been taken out and turned
upside down.
AS one horse was young and good
animal and the other an old one that
had been on the wagon twenty years,
it is thought strangers were the
thieves.
The horses were led away by the
halters, no harness being taken. There
was no wagon save the oil wagon in
the stable.
