Attorney Prince Given
Judgment for $1,000

Grand Island, Neb, March 25.-
Especial THE jury in the case Of
w. A. Prince against the Southern
Surety company, Harm Shank, Tom
Dwyer and Frank Shank OF Silver
Creek, in which case damages in the
amount Of $4,000 were asked for as
the result of an assault on Mr.. Prince
at Silver Creek in September last,
awarded sum OF $1,000 damages
against the defendants alike. The
case was quite sensational one, the
assault being alleged to be in reprisal
against Attorney Prince for his par
ticipation in a prosecution some years
ago as the result of which Harm
Shank was sentenced to the peni-
tertiary on the charge of arson. The
testimony in the case reviewed in a
general way the assault, which took
place in front Of Shank's saloon, and
disclosed in the rebuttal examination
an alleged attempt at bribing the jury.
Frank |. Olson, business man of this
city, who was acquainted with Shank,
testified under the objections of the
defendants, that Shank had come to
him some time in October, related to
him that he was "in bad" on ccount
OF the Prince deal that Olson could
do him favor by fixing the jury, and
that Olson declined, and revealed the

Real War Sermon. ....,-
DEFINES HIS POSITION

Probability Of war involving the
United States was prominently men-
toned in many churches of Greater
Omaha Sunday, mostly in prayers by
the ministers. One pastor however.
Rev. Fred J.. Clark of the First Con-
gregational church, delivered SER
mon on the subject and came out
openly in favor of war with Germany.
"Why We Must Fight Germany"
was Rev. Mr.. Clark's theme at the
morning service, and he did not hest
tate 10 declare his opinion that peace
talk should give way to war.
81 think the time has come when it
is absolutely imperative that we
fight Germany" Rev. Mr.. Clark told
his church members. "The time has
come when patience is cowardice and
to hold back is to sacrifice our prin-
ciples.
1--WE are facing a great crisis to-
day, and we need man to lead us
who is awakened. aroused and in

courage of our convictions we should
fight Germany without compromise.

Ola, which has passed the house and
now on the sitting file in the senate
becomes law.
The bill gives the state treasurer
authority to supervise the collection
of all funds in every department OF
the state.
According to state officials, this
means that no state officer or clerk
under them will be permitted to re-
ceive money for the state and that it
will necessitate the state treasurer ap-
pointing a representative or deputy
in every department of the state
where there is money TO be received.
One official this morning was con-
siderably agitated over the matter.
He said that he did not propose to
have the state treasurer appoint any
member of his office force to repre-
sent the state treasurcr's office and
receive money coming into his de-
partment Il put up heavy bond
myself as a protection to the state

GERMANS THREATEN
DRIVE ON PETROGRAD
Massing Great Bodies of
Troops Along Northern Front
to Move Against Capital.
RUSSIANS TOLD OF DANGER

Pctrograd, Saturday, March "a (Via
London, March Is. Delayed. From
internal troubles and the problems ol
reconstruction the attention Of Rus.
sia has suddenly been diverted to q
new danger which theatens from with
out. There now is indisputablc evi'
dence that the Germans are massins
great numbers of troops along the
northern front ready for an effort
against Russias capital.
The country has been appraised oi
the new menace by series OF procla-
nations from its ministers.
Washington, March 25.-Transfer
of the Russian capital from Petro-
grad to its ancient site at Moscow is
regarded as highly probable in en-
tente circles here which have kept
closely advised regarding the situa-
ton in Russia. The belief is founded
upon reports that Petrograd is
swarming with spies; that it is strong
ly under the influence Of the pro-Ger-
man elements; that the real seat of
reform for the present triumph is in
Moscow, and that such change
would appeal strongly to the people.
Moscow is regarded as much more
secure against drive by the Ger
man army, which is believed to be
iinpeudiup.

Samaritan Gets
Short End of the
Deal in Omaha

J. NJ. Aaldrup OF Watertown. S. D..
formerly OF Fremont, who was held
by the Omaha police for a short time
in connection with the robbery of a
man named Brennan, furnishes a
satisfactory explanation of his acts.
Aaldrup Was iu Omaha for the. pur-
pose of employing man who had
formerly worked for him. This man
had been concerned in the incident at
the roadhouse, and was leaving town.
He asked Aaldrup to carr word to
bis wife as to his whereabouts. This
Aaldrup agreed TO do. and on going
to the home of his former employe,
he learned that the victim of the rob-
berry had agreed not to push the case
if his money and other valuables were
returned. On learning this, Mr..
laldrup went with the woman to the
home of another, where the property
was recovered. and with the two
women he went to the Paxton hotel,
where he expected TO meet the po-
lice and give over the property. Here
the victim OF the robbery denounced
him and he was arrested. On explana-
tons forthcoming, however, he was
dismissed, as the victim of misunder-
standing. The women who went with
Aaldrup were not the ones concerned
in The robbery.

Three people were killed and sew

Paha river at Brocksburg, Neb., in
Keya Paha county, $50 miles north
west OF Norfolk, was swept asunder
by an ice gorge at $50 Sunday
night, according to telephone mes
sage from Brocksburg.
While forty people, residents of
Brocksburg and farmers from near
there were standing on the bridge
watching the rushing ice gorge pass
through beneath, the structure col
lapsed in the center. The entire as
semblage was spilled into the rush
ing ice and water.

jured.
The dead:
MRS, WAKEFIELD. Brocksburg, Neb.,
aged 10.
JUDSoN STEWART, farmer near BrocKs-
burg. aged 45.
Mrs. Arnold Hudson was seriously
injured and may die.
Men, women and children were
thrown without warning into the
rushing water. Great pieces of ice
swept in a dangerous channel and
many clinging to portions of the
bridge were painfully mangled by the
cutting ice. The three who were
killed were standing on the spot
where the break in the structure oc-
cured.
Mrs. Wakefield and Sylvia Wales
were standing next each other. They
went down together. Judson Stewart

Little hope for her recovery is felt.
The bridge was one of the two
structures still left standing by the
flood. The Mills bridge in the same
district, crossing the Keya Paha
river. is the only bridge standing. The
ice gorge is expected to sweep this
one. too.
The bodies Of Mrs. Wakefield and
