Fremont, Neb., Nov. 30.-In the Os-

duced several witnesses to impeaCh
the testimony of DR.. Calkins, that he
found Osborne drunk when he was
called to see him at the Jail, the Mon
day morning following the murder.
In reply to question DR.. f. n. Leake

TALLY the same hypothetical questions
as was asked Dr. Mackay of Norfolk
Monday. The doctor said he could
not state whether defendant was sane
but thought there would be serious
question as to his sanity.
A number of witnesses from Blair
who had known Osborne for years,
gave their opinion that he was sane
but as it appeared on cross-eXamina-
ton that they did not know that he
had ever had fits, the court withdrew
their testimony from the jury and in

Burke Man is Shot.

Burke Gazette: Last Sunday L. f.
Snyder and Clyde Burrl went up on
the Milestone creek with the inten-
ton of getting a few cottontals-
they did not bring any home. Mr..
Burril was carrying his gun under
his arm with the muzzle pointing
down, and Mr.. Snyder was about three
feet ahead of him. There is no way
of telling how it happened, but sud
denly Mr.. Burril's gun went off, the
entire discharge going through the
neshy part of the calf of Mr.. Snyder's
left leg. The charge did not strike
the bone, but simply took from Mr..
Snyder about pound of perfectly
good leg muscle and left him with
limb which promises to be some
what stiff and uncertain for quite a
while. He is hobbling around on it
all right, but is not going very fast;
and in the meantime Mrs. Snyder is

great horn spoon that he will never

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.
Advertise Nebraska.

Omaha World-Herald: The follow
ing editorial paragraph, from the
kearney Hub goes straight to the
mark:
civilian Colfax of Bassett, Neb..
declares that Nebraska needs settlers
more than it needs money, and the
basis for this conclusion is that he has
more than 1000 acres of hay land
under his control that was not cut
this year because he could not hire
the labor to do it. Somebody, some
where, needed that hay, and Nebraska
needed the return from the waste pro.
duCtiOn. The case of Mr.. ColfaX is
one among many. He is right in de-
claring that Nebraska needs settlers
more than money, for of the latter
there is plenty to handle all the crops
and promote ordinary development"
And the answer is, Advertise Ne
braska."
We don't mean to advertise Nebras-
ka particularly, as a fertile field for
investment, though it is all of that.
But we do mean, particularly and es-
pecially, advertise Nebraska DIS a fer
tile field for the building of homes and
the raising of families. 1t is men that
Nebraska needs; men and women and
children, more than it needs money.
1t needs men who are industrious and
ambitious, who are willing to work
with their hands, and who are willing
to accept in return the assurance of a
competence and secure foothOld in
the healthiest and most intelligent
state in the union. Nebraska is fairly
yearning for that kind of men. There
are untold millions of dollars lying
neglected in Nebraska soil that are
clamoring for just such men TO come
and dig them out and put them to
work.
The lamentable truth is that rural
Nebraska, like rural Iowa and Missouri
and Indiana and other mid-western
states, is declining in population. The
movement from the farms to the cities
continues, and with it the increasing
difficulty Of those who live in the cities
to earn enough to support and educate
their families properly. 1t is a move
ment that must be checked. And the
very best way to check it is to get the
word to the strugglers in the cities
that freedom and health and a COM
petence await them on the farms,

BURNS HANDS IN FIRE.
Burke Man Slightly Scorched-Wife
and Young Babe Unframed.


Butte Gazette: Joe Hahn and fam
lily came very near being thrown out
into the cold world without a home
last Monday morning about 8 o'clock.
When the fire was discovered one
room up stairs was quite badly burned
and but for the quick action on the
part of Mr.. Hahn, who grabbed the
clothing that was hanging in the room
which was a mass of flames and threw
them out of the upstairs window, the
| fire might have been serious.
1t is thought that the clothing
caught fire from lamp that was left
burning in the room.
Mr.. Hahn has a couple of very bad
ly burned hands, from the effect of
handling the burning garments, and
they are minus a good many dollars
worth of clothing that was consumed,
but they are very thankful that their
| fine home was saved.
A number of men from Butte were
hurried to the scene in F. X. Smiths
auto as soon as the smoke was no.
ticed, but arrived too late to assist in
putting out the fire.
Mrs. Hahn was i'll in bed and all
were anxious for her and the new
babe, but we are glad to note they
have suffered no bad effect from the
| fright.
