South Omaha. The arrests were
made by Slictiif Hennett, Detective
Hiidwon nnd C hief of Police Heckett.
The first inkling of any new move
in the iimiter Unit the people of
South Omaha had was when Heii

Omaha at 4 o'clock last evening,
iitnl ulier M'Ciiriu Chief of Police

Chief Jteckclt, Detective Hudson

the warrant had been read
over Mayes iv.iicsted that it be read
' a second tune, which was done.
Alter the lir.it reading Hayes said:
"For murdering Miller, What Mil
lerr Mayor MilhrV" Aside from
this he said nothing ami took the
arrest very cooh , lie wanted In pi
to his rooms and change his clothes
but the ollicert would not allow it.
Moth men were put in a cab and

locked up in the county jail.
October t, Tuesday evening;,
Charles 1'. Miller ol South Omaha
was found in a d) iny condition at
Kinl'.l mid Ihid-e streets in Omaha.
Me had an uy tmllet wound in the
left temple and never regained con
sciousness altci being found. He
lied next evening.
Some thought it suicide, while
other-- scouted the idea ami said
thin it was murder. Tlii.i is the
crime with the coiinnistuoii id which
Merlin and Ilas stand charged.
At noon yesterday Attorney Mil
ler of Omaha went t.) South Omaha
and together with Chief lteckett
went to the home of Mayor Miller's
widow. Mrs. Miller was taken in a
varriaye to Omaha where, at the
American office, she .signed the
voiiifdnint, which had been drawn
by County Attorney Mahoney,
charging Merlin and Mayers with
murdering her lnishand. No one
but those directly interested in the
case knew iinythingahout the mat
ter until the arrest had been made.
Attorney Miller, who has had a
great deal to do with the case, said,
to one of the officers. "It is a clear
case ami we are prepared to prove
all we charge."
Chief Beckett said that he had it
from good authority that the de
tectives had found eyo-wittneses
to the shooting nnd that it was
claimed by them that Miller was
murdered cm the very spot where he
was found by the two German girls.
Kuinor charges Hayes with being
the man who purchased the re.
volver that killed Miller. Berlin is
mtpposed to have been the accom
plice. Nebraska's County Judges.

There is a man in Plattsmouth
who certainly desei ves the alien
tion of state senators. It is Mr.
Frank Wilson who has been an
nounced by some leading spirits iu
politice as a candidate for secretary
of the senate. Mr. Wilson is a
thoroughly efficient man, and has
the best endorsement. He has al
ready served as clerk of the house,
and there made a record for him
self. AH Coolcy reports that on going
home Monday evening from Kagle
he found a pair of ladies' shoes in
his carriage. Interested parties
can obtain them by calling at Peter
sou's shop, proving property ' and
taking the same away. It is a ipiery
in our minds how the shoes found,
their way into All's buggy, anyway.

ever, the wounds broke out and the
animal had to he killed Ten days
or so after another of his horses
