SEAMAN NOT A LABORER.
Indictment Charging Violation Of Fed.
eral Law, is Quashed.

Cldl Law, 10 SudSIGO'
New York, Feb. 4.-On the ground
that a sailor is not laborer, Judge
Hand in the United States circuit
court quashed an indictment against
Captain Robert Jameson, steamship
master, charged with having allowed
Il Chinese member of his crew to
land, violating of federal statute.
"These seems to be no doubt, on
authority, that seaman is not a
laborer," says the court. This has
been held in a number of decisions
and it accords with the reasonable
usage of words.
"Of course, l do not mean the en-.
try of laborer under the guise of a
seaman would not exclude him, or that
his permanent severance from any
ship, would not change his charter"
Judge Hands decision is consider
ed important in that heretofore under
the Chinese exclusion law, Chinese
sailors were classed as laborers and
were kept cooped up on the ships
while in port.

The senior class, numbering thirty
three, have begun planning for their
class day entertainment. They have
chosen clever little parody entitled
The Merchant of Venice Up to Date"
II is said to be the best high school
farce written. Following closely the
Shakespearian play with a setting of
the modern high school, it is intensely
amusing throughout. The Caskets
from which Bassanio makes his choice
are filled with Latin examinations,
while Antonio, instead of pledging a
pound of flesh. seals the bond for a
pound of football hair. One of the
pretty parts will be the choruses be-
tween the acts of the farce, given by
the senior girls. The cast of charac.
ters has been made and rehearsng
will begin within a week.

Gordon Murder Case With Jury.

Rushville, Neb., Feb. 1.-The Briley
murder case went to the jury here
last night after day of argument.
The trial has occupied the attention
of the court all week, the defense be.
ing in the hands of Judge +. G.. Ha-
mer and son of Kearney. The county
attorney was assisted by Judge Sui
Ivan and f.. L. Squires of Broken
Bow.
Brley had filed on Kinkaid home
stead near the Spade ranch where
Curley Ferrin, the murdered man, had
been working. Not long after they
had trouble and Briley had been beat
en- up once or twice by men in COM
pany with Ferrin and they also de-
stroyed the household goods of Briley
with the idea of driving him out of the
community, as they evidently did not
like him.
Saturday night, October Is, 1910,
Briley was with some men on Main
street, Gordon, and was speaking of
his troubles when Ferrin overheard
him and this opened up the quarrel
again. Briley shot at Ferrin three
times and missed him and then broke
away, Briley rushing into the Fair
store and demanding more shells for
his revolver, but was refused. The
city marshal came in with the inten-
ton of arresting him, and had actually
hold of Briley when Ferrin came into
the store and approached Briley, who
put his pistol under the left arm and
fired again, the bullet striking Ferrin
in the stomach and lodging in the
spine. He collapsed and died forty
minutes after.
