The jury was given the case at SIS

Ascroft, the defendant, was on the
stand in his own behalf yesterday as
the last witness. He was calm and
collected and not easily perturbed on
cross.examination. He said he never
had met Ropp before the day of tho
killing, he had no grudge and he had
no intention of killing the man. He
said he saw Bear Jack with a grub
hoe and told him and Ropp to "cut
out this fighting at the front door"
He said Ropp advanced toward him

Ascroft prevented by side blows on
the mans head. Ropp grabbed for a
hand ak and then Ascroft beat him
into submission, but when he left he
did not know that Ropp was seriously

Mullen Decides to File Suits Against
Corporations


Corporations.
Lincoln, Nov. 19.-Though he will
be in office not more than six weeks,
Arthur Mullen, recently appointed at
torney general, is preparing for very
busy time. One of the first numbers
on his program Is to go after those
corporations which have failed to file
report with the legal department of
state annually, as required by the
Junkin antitrust law, TO all intents
and purposes this portion of the law
has been a dead letter since the law
has been on the statute books, though
the legislature has regularly appro-
priated money for it's enforcement
Corporations which fail to comply
with the statute by not filing their
annual reports or statements with the
legal department may be ousted from
the state and refused permission to
do business here, by a proceeding in
court,
Mr.. Mullen has for the last few days
been looking up court decisions to see
if this particular portion of the law
has ever been passed upon by any
court and he is satisfied that he will
be able to uphold the law If 1t is at
tackled. He will shortly demand from
the corporations these statements
there being only a very few corpora
lions which have ever paid any atten
tion to this section of the law.

DEFINES MUST PAY THE BILL.

Peter Schwent of Hoskins won the
case against Heinrich Defines of Oma.
ha, in which he sued the Omaha man
for $145, the expense of educating
Defines daughter, whom Schwent
adopted,
Much interest was manifested in the
case when it came up in Judge Lam
berts court here. Both the plaintiff
and defendant were present. The
main question to decide was whether
or not Defines had promised to pay the
expenses of the girls education.
Mr.. aud Mrs. Schwent adopted Mr..
Deines' daughter at Hoskins some
years ago. Defines is said to have not
been satisfied with the education his
daughter was receiving in this terri
tory and asked that she be sent to
Omaha or Lincoln and he would pay
the expenses. This was done, but the
expenses were not paid. Judge Lam
bert took the case under advisement,
and Friday morning gave his verdict
in favor of the plaintiff, so that the
defendant must pay Sl45 and costs.
