 ONE YEAR TERM

 For Shooting.

Patrick Byrnes, the North End resi- dent who shot Miss Mary Stafford. a choir singer, of Al Fairview avenue, September 9, was sentenced to one year in the county jail by Judge Shunl- way in the criminal superior court this afternoon. Byrnes, who occupied a seat in the prisoners pen, appeared relieved that he had escaped with such light punishment
 States Attorney Cummings told the court how -Byrnes had. without provo cation entered Miss Stafford's home and fired the sIlpt,, which luckily did always borne a good reputation. In recent years he had seemed to be in a serni-nlelancholU state of mind and some. thought Byrnes might be men tally unbalanced. Medical Examiner S. M! Gar1ick had examined Byrnes at the request of the states attorney and found tEe accused mentally sound. He said Byrnes was fully able to realize the seriousness of his action.
 Attorney Hugh J. Lavery, in making a, plea for Byrnes, dwelt upon his s>cli- ent's previous good record. He said Byrnes was 60 years old. Since his wife died he had been sullen and mo- rose. The lawyer said he had Ques- tioned Byrnes about the shooting but the accused could give no adequate reason why he fired the shot.

 Judge Shun1way declared he would postpone action but later he passed sentence. Byrnes was allowed to plead guilty to assault with intent to kill

Wheat Market Wild
and Prices Climb

1t was a wild and erratic market on
the Omaha Grain exchange, and with
heavy receipts there was business enough
for all the traders. The wheat market,
with 143 carloads on sale, opened strong
and commenced to climb as the offerings
were made, continuing without a break.
Wheat sold all the way from "a cents to
$1.0S per bushel. The top was the highest
of any time within the last three months.
While local dealers will not venture a
positive opinion as to the future, they are
inclined TO look for higher wheat from
now on. They learn that a fleet of the
largest vessels have arranged to sail from
gulf ports, carrying grain to Europe. and
that the prospects are decidedly favor
able for expectation.
Corn was i'm sypmathy with wheat, and
while the advance was not so great,
prices went up l cent to liz Old corn
sold at SO and 50 and new at 81 and IS
cents per bushel. Receipts were thirty
seven carloads.
Oats made an advance of u to q cent
and sold at 3s and 80 cents per bushel.
the high price since early last fall. There
were twenty-five carloads on the market.

Governments Suit Against Gen.
trail and Southern Pacific.
WILL GO THROUGH ALL COURTS

Attorneys for the Union Pacific
are in st. Louis, where they are
watching the outcome of the suit be-
ing tried in United States circuit
court, wherein the government seeks
to separate the Southern and Central
Pacific railroads, operating from Og
den, Utah, through to San Francisco.
The Union Pacific is interested in the
suit In that the government charges that
since 1883 the Central Pacific has dis
eliminated against the Union Pacific IN
the matter OF rates. wherever possible
routing business by way OF New Orleans,
instead OF through the ogden gateway.
the shorter route
In another respect the Union Pacific
officials feel deep interest In the suit,
their position being that in the event a
complete segregation OF the Central and
Southern Pacific roads is ordered by the
court, the company they represent will
be given the first opportunity TO buy in
the two Pacific roads in the event they
should go upon the action block
Back in 1908 when the federal court
segregated the Central and Southern
Pacifics from the Hartman management,
there was provision Incorporated in the
court order that whenever the two roads
should he sold the first opportunity to
purchase should be given the Union Pa
cific, Relying on this court order. Union
Pacific officials feel pretty confident that
IL the court now separates the Southern
and Central. it will eventually mean II
continuous line Of railroad from Omaha
to san Francisco and under one general
management. However. they do not look
for anything OF the kind until the case
has been fought through all the courts
and is finally decided by the United

POLICE OFFICERS
ARE EXONERATED
Commissioners Hold Russell and
Goss Justified in Using Ex-
IRENE Measures.
COMPLAINANT IS NOT PRESENT

Sergeant w. G. Russell and Pa
trolman George Goss we're exoner-
ated by the city council upon hearing
OF charges filed by Chief Dunn, stat
ing they had used unnecessary vio-
lence during the arrest of prisoner
a few days ago.
Captain Dempsey testified that
Russell and Goss have been good and
careful officers.
Harley G. Moorhead and Dan
Baum testified that In their judg-
ment Patrolman Goss was unneces-
sarily abusive in the use Of his club
upon the head of Frank Harrington,
who was arrested.
Sergeant Russell testified that during
his twelve years on the police force this
had been the first instance Of his inability
to handle a prisoner alone.
Prisoner an Athlete.
Explaining his previous ability to handle
his men, the sergeant said: Il worked
three years in a local beer garden where
Leer was sold eighteen to twenty hours
a day, but in this case the prisoner was
a young athlete, and even carried cards
showing he belonged to an athletic asso-
citation. He threatened to kill me aud
Goss. and put his hand to his hip as If
he might have had a gun"
The evidence in the case convinced the
commissioners that the sergeant and pa
trolman were engaged with an unusually
obstreperous man and were justified in
using extreme measures.
Harrington informed the city clerk over
The telephone he would not appear against
the officers unless he was compelled to.
Guess he thinks he had what was COM
ing to him." remarked the mayor when
Harringtons message was received.
Goss admitted striking Harrington twice
on the head with blackjack, the wounds
being superficial.
