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.

Now we can see what the boys In
France had to endure.

RAISE TRICK AT
FIREMEN'S DANOFH
Those In chargo of the twlce-a
'week dances at the armory have an
nounced that, beginning at once, the
admission fee will be raised to $1.00
and war tax. Another Innovation is
a fee of 50 cents to be charged to
spectators. ?
Those paving contractors havo
managed to make things uncomfort
able for the whole city. 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.
The only way to Identify him Is
that he was driving a light truck.
