EIGHT THE ALLIANCE HERALD, TUESDAY, APIUL 6, 1920. llALP-ltUKID MMJi PMMIKNON FKAM (Continued from Psae 1.) Knight then orpnnUcd a panne which made a thorough peareh of the town, the potanh plants an-1 the stir Bounding country, without result. Nlsht Marshal Schrader, when told of the murder by Mica Nolan, pro ceeded Immediately to the scenu of the crime. He was aeconianlort by TRI11 Shepard and Frank nurr. They made a thorough search of the home lor Jackfon, and Schrador wilted there until the next morion, ex pecting the half-breed to retnrn. Pr. Morgan waa called, who pronounced the woman dead. Of the Ave phots fired, but one struck Florence Feagtn. There we-e two bullet holes In tho ceiling and two In the floor, which la taken by the Antloch police to mean that eitr r Jackaon was quite drunk, or that ho was not ahooting to kill. One theory la that both of them were shooting, and that after two aliota had been exchanged, Jacknon at tempted to take the woman's gun away. The bullet struck in the left heek, about an Inch below the eye, and then took a downward course, probably striking at the base of the brain. The theory of the fin balmcr la that It then passed through the neck and lodged In the stomach. Early Sunday morning Sheriff Bruce of Rushville and the county attorney arrived, and the searoh for the half-breed was kept up. He seems to have made a clean getaway at the time Miss Nolan and Sam Hartlctt left to call the authorities. About 9 o'clock Saturday evening, the Alliance police received a call from Antloch requesting them to ome down to that place tn force and help apprehend the criminal. When it was explained that the Alliance police had peace and dignity of their own to maintain, they were given a description of the murderer nad ask ed to watch for him. It la not believ ed that he headed In this direction. Monday a rancher phoned the An tloch police that he had discovered shoe prints in the snow out in the snow out in the sandhills, but when the Antloch authorities showed up, these tracks turned out to be those of a four-legged animal. Marshal Schrader dlacovored in the house where the murder was committed a five gallon on of raw alcohol, such as tb potash compan ies use In their laboratories. There was still over a gallon of the stuff re maining In the can. It is probable that Jackson stolo this stuff from the Western Potash company, where he had been employed. It was strong liquor, 190 proof. Jackson Is described aa a tall man, of dark, swarthy complexion, with black hair. He is a half-breed In dian. He had been living in Antloch for several years and waa well known. He had once before been In trouble with the police, and was fined for drunkenness. Florence Feagin had been living with kin in Antloch for only a few weeks. The murdered woman Is a familiar character in Alliance, where she had lived for several years. She was about forty years of ago, had been married and has two daughters, aged twelve and sixteen, living in Sootts blutf. Her parents live in Grand la land. Her mother arrived in An tloch on No. 43 Monday. Miss Nolan la also said to have been ia Alliance up until a few months ago. She had been held as a witness, bat was re leased Sunday night, following the Inquest. Bartlett was brought to Alliance Monday evening on No. 43 and taken to St. Joseph's hospital, where be was reported to be improving. No trace has been fosnd of Jack son, who Is believed to have taken to the sandhills, where he knew the gvound thoroughly. Sam Bartlett Is fairly well known In Alliance, also. He had run an auto livery In neighboring towns. Last week, at Rushville, fines amounting to $300 were assessed against him on two separate charges of bootlegging.

A year from now we'll feel better about It. Small gcntlomnn, accompanied by his wife, was crossing the street near the postofflce. He thought there was a plank to cross one of the puddles, but It was only an Inch board. He stepped, and went down. When he pulled out his foot, It was mud to the shoetops. What do you suppose he said? "Gracious me!" "Gracious me!" Honest, that's all. Of course, his wife was along. If she hadn't been Why can't the city dump a couple of wagonloads of cinders at these crossings? Nother mud story: Two young men walking home. One suggests: "Let's go a block west and get away from this." "Oh, h 1, no! "was the response. "That's the worst crossing in town." The meanest man in the world has been found. He is the brother who collected the planks at the various crossings, placed there to enable the average citizen to get across without swimming. Sunday every street had a plank. Now look for yourself.
