SUSPECT
ARRESTED
William Oxley Has a Serious
Charge to Face.
Sheriff of Caster County Apprebends Him
at Louisville It I Thought the Kris-
oner Knows Something About the
Death of m Farmer Named W. H. Fol
hart Other Mews of Interest.
From Monday's Daily.
A young man named William Oxley I
was arrested at Louisville, this county,
last Saturday by Sheriff N. E. Arm
strong of Custer county, on suspicion
tuat he knew something about the
murder of W. II. Fulhart, a farmer
who lived eighteen miles northwest of
Anselmo. The lifeless body of Ful
hart was found about ten days ago.
When found, it was apparent that the
man had been dead for several days
his body being discovered in a field
about a mile from his home. His
skull had been crushed' with some
blunt instrument. Oxley, it ia known,
was working for the murdered man
the last time ho was seen alive by his
neighbors.
Sheriff Armstrong and his prisoner
arrived in Lincoln Saturday evening,
enroute to Cutter county, and a re
porter for the State Journal secured
the following facts from the officer in
regard to the search for Oxley:
"Sinch the body was found. Sheriff
Armstrong has been keeping a bharp
lookout for the murderer. IJe 6U3-
Dected Oxlev from the start, but that
vouncr man nad disappeared. rne I
a. i a-w I
sheriff learned that he had left the
countv on a horse helooe-ine: to David
Parkes. He learned that he had been
seen in Gothenburg, and that be had
pone eaet from there. Later he ascer
tained that he had relatives at Spring
field, Sarpy county, atd, thinking he
might have visited them, he came Fri
day to search for him. The search
was short. In tho afternoon the sher-
iff and a friend were going to the
Louisville depot, after a fruitless
search of the town. They met Oxley
coming across the street. The sheriff
held him up, placed him under arrest,
locked the shackles on him and
searched him. No arms of any kiud
were found on his person. Ho was
wearing new clothes and had ehaveJ
off his moustache since last seen in
Custer county. He had a little more
than $S in his pockets.
"It is believed that the crime was
committed with robbery in view, as
Fulhart was reported to have received
$1,000 a short time before he was
killed. Tbe usual reward of $'2Q0 had
been offered by Governor Poynter on
behalf of the state for the apprehen-
sion and conviction of the murderer.
Oxley is about twenty-eight years
old, and, it is said, his parents reside
in lied Willow county. He has a t-is-ter
living near Louisville.

SAD DEATH OF A CHILD
The Deadly SllOtClin Claims An
w 1
Innocent Victim.
Children Flay With the Weapon. Which
Bad Been Left In the Yard, and
Tragedy Is the Result Fatal Shot
Passes Through the Child's Head, and
Causes Almost Instant Death.
From Monday's Daily.
The deadly shot gun has been heard
from again, and as a result of careless
ness the little three-year-old daughter
of Fay Wright, a farmer living a short
distance south of Pacific Junction, la.,
lies cold in death.
Last Saturday Mr. Wright, who
buys grain at his place, had taken his
gun out of the house to shoot achicken
hawk, when a load of grain drove up
to the scales. He set the gun down to
weigh the load and was startled a few
moments later to hear a loud report
and a scream from his wife. Rushing
to where ho had left the gun, he found
his little daughter breathing her last,
with a large hole through her head.
It 6eems that the little girl had been
playing with the eight-year-old son of
a neighbor named Collins, and tbe
supposition is that the boy picked up
the gun and pointed it at the little
girl with the above result. It is quite
probnble that the little girl was look
ing into the gun barrel when the fatal
shot was fired, as the charge entered
tbe child's left eye and came out at
the back of tho head, even the wads be
ing driven through the head. The
boy was slightly injured in the face by
tho recoil of the gun.
Tbe timo of holding the funeral was
not learned.
Passed M Itogus Check.
P. A. Jacobson, proprietor of the
big Daylight Store, has not the faith

While he was out of the city a couple
of weeks ago, a young man, having
the appearance of a farm band, came
into Jacobson's store and asked the
clerk. Miss Johnson, if she would cash
a check for him on George IIeil,a well-
known farmer, living east of town.
The check was for $16.50. which was
paid over to him, and he departed and
has not been see n'since. Nothing was
thought of the matter until yesterday,
when Mr. Heil informed the bank that
he had written no check in favor of
Martin and the signature was a forg-
ery. it was accordingly returned to
Mr. Jacobson so stamped. It was late
in the evening wnen me stranger en
tered the store and Miss Johnson has
not the least idea of what he looked
like and, in all probability, he will not

Itroihers Get Into Trouble.
There was a lively disturbance in
the Wolverton restaurant on Main
streetabout 12:30 this afternoon. Louis
and John Wolverton, brothers, got
into a dispute over the ownership of
the establishment, with the result that
thoy came to blows. The women folks
became alarmed and called for help
and soon a big crowd had flocked to
tho scene.
The officers managed to part the
men, and while they were looking
after Louis the other managed to es
cape through tbe rear cf the building.
but he concluded to "face the music"
and gave himself up soon after. Louis,
who seemed to have started the
trouble, was assessed $10.30 and John
was called upon to pay $4. Both fioes
were paid and the men were released.
Besides a few slight bruises, they
did no serious damage to each other.

Loiulon, Dec. 1. The -Statist pro

leaders might misunderstand the mo-;
tive of an overture from the military '
authorities It suggests that the high

begin the negotiations, if not Sir Alfred
Mllner then the chief Justice of Cape
colony, or even J. II. Hofineier. The
paper, which is a financial journal,
leads up to the proposal with a "wail

MOVEMKNfS OF I'ACL KRl'GER,
Pays and Rerelvrs Several Calls Prepara
tory to Leaving Paris.
Paris, Dec. 1. Paul Kruger, presi
dent of the Transvaal republic, will
leave Paris for Cologne at 10:45 p. m.
today.
Paris, Dec. 1. Kruger remained in
doors engaged iu consultations with
bis advisors and receiving callers un
til shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon when, accompanies! by Leyds
and the usual military escort, he called
on M. Falliercs, president of the sen
ate. The Interview lasted ten minutes,
after which Kruger returned to his ho
tel. Senator Fabre called on Kruger dur
ing the day and presented him with a
copy of his "Life of Washington," dedi
cated as follows: "To the grand old
man, who by bis struggles and presi
dency ree-alls Washington, and to
whom France has given the same en
thusiastic welcome as offered to Frank
lin, regretting she has been unable up
to the present to co-operate in the
foundation of the United States of
South Africa as she co-operated in the
foundation of the United States of
America."
Late in the afternoon Kruger vis
ited M. Deschanel, president of the
chamber of deputies, remaining with
him ten minutes. M. Deschanel re
turned the call. The clergy of the
Church of the Sacred Heart, of Mont
martre. today at the moment of Kru
ger's deaprrure, will toll the famous

COLD SHOULDER IN GERMANY.
All ThMt Krufcer Apparently Can Expect,
and No Intervention.
Berlin, Dec. 1. The semi-official
statement that Kruger is coming here
is discussed cautionsly. It is regard
ed as premature to predict that Em
peror William will receive him. There
is no appreciable sign of a public
demonstration, and some of the papers
warn the public to beware of a policy
of sentiment, pointing out that Ger
many is not in a position to change the
fate of the Transvaal, and deprecating
manifestations which nre likely to
clash with the government's policy.
The agrarian organs express the ear
nest hoie that Emperor William will
render powerful assistance to Kruger.
The Liberal press, for the greater
part, considers that his e-oming will be
useless.
There is no truth, the correspondent
of the Assodateel Press is informed,
in the statement that a movement is
on foot for intervention by Germany,
France and Kussia. Regarding the
question whether Germany, If asked,
would offer mediation, there Is bigh
official authority for the assertion that
Germany would be coaipellcd to re
fuse to make such an offer, unless
also asked by Great Britain.
"If it be true that Ir. Lej'ds has
notified to Count von Buelow Mr.
Kruger's conditional intention to
come to Berlin." said a well informed
official, "Dr. Leyers has not been left
in doubt regarding Germany's atti
tude. In the event of Mr. Kruger com
ing however, he will be received as
president of the South African Re

Mystery of a Man's Disappearance Not
Cleared Away.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 1. The mystery
of the disappearance of Ray Birum,
who with $300 in his pocket, was cn
route a month ago from Victor. Colo.,
to Wisconsin to wed Miss "Nellie Jones
of Waukesha, was brought to the at
tention of the police through the
medium of three letters received by
Chief Donahue from Victor. Instead
of shedding light on the case, however,
the letters leave it in as much dark
ness as ever. The letters all came
from the marshal at Victor. The
first is from a mysterious "doctor"
who early In November wrote a letter
to Birum's fiancee notifying her of her
lover's mishap. The second is from
Mrs. M. M. Birum, the boy's mother,

some one who. without parley, fired
two shots, one taking effect in Ray's
loft side. 1 took him home with me
and persuaded him to accompany me
to the coast. He has now pretty near
recovered his physical health, but is
broken in heart and spirits. lie in
forms me of his intention of goin?
away and thanks nie for much kind
ness. I leave Seattle tonight and te
lievo he intends to go to Omaha.
