GREEK CASE
Continued Until th 2 Return of County
Attorney Rawlr.
In district court Saturday morning the
habeas corpus cases of Keenan, Wilson,
Fernald, Andrews and Downey catne
up for decision. Attorney Sulliva" dur
ing the week had taken statements from
each of the plaintiffs relative to the
testimony they gave hefore Justice
Archer, and also their remembrance of
the testimony of the prosecuting wit
ness and his wife. The testimony had
been taken before Court Reporter
Travis and he had transcribed the same
into typewriting, which Attorney Sulli
van had incorporated with his petition
as an exhibit. Attorney Clark, repre
senting the prosecution, had filed a mo
tion to strike this exhibit from the files
and the entire morning was taken up in
an argument upon thi3 motion, which
the court finally took under advisement.
It was suggested to Attorney Sulli
van by the court, that he would accept
the statement prepared by Sullivan as
a transcript of the evidence before the
lower court, providing the justice would
certify to the same. This Justice
Archer declined to do and it was upon
the question of whether it could be con
sidered as a transcript of the evidence
by the court without this certificate.
In order to solve the weighty legal prob
lems involved, and more especially to
give the county attorney a chance to
familiarize himself with the details of
the case, that Judge Travis took the
matter under advisement. County At
torney Rawls is away on his annnal va
cation and it will be several days before
he will return. As all matters in con
nection with the case have arose dur
ing his absence Judge Travis considers
that he should be allowed to be heard in
the matter before it is finally decided.
It might be added that that the prose
cuting witness and his wife, who fur
nished the evidence upon which che men
were held, declined to recognize At
torney Sullivan's authority to have their
testimony again taken and therefore no
direct evidence from them was avail
able. A CcubSe Wedding.
Wednesday after noon a double wed
ding took place in Nebraska City, and
some of the contracting parties are
quite well known here. One of the
brides was Mrs. Bertha Cole, daughter
of Mrs. E. C. Curtiss of this village,
and the groom was Phines Curtis of
Auburn, a young man who formally
made his home here and is a brother of
E. C. Curtiss. The other couple were
Walter Huston of Auburn, and Miss
Prudie Curtiss, the latter a sister of
E. C. Curtiss.
The ceremonies took place in the
county judge's office at 1 o'clock in
the afternoon, Judge Wilson officiating.
The happy couple returning to this vill
age that evening and changed cars at
this place, going via. Weeping Water
to Auburn. E. C. Curtiss of this vill
age thinks he had his share of honor in
those marriages, the two including his
brother, sister and step-daughter.

John Schiappacasse where Miss Tower

WHERE QUALITY COUNTS
A Burlington Time Check, Dated Hay 30, 1 908,
and a Gold Watch Found Upon His Person.
A ghastly discovery was made Sat
urday by John Boetel and Henry
Fender, who were engaged in seining
the river about one mile north of the
pump house. While Fender was drag
ging the seine in close to the shore he
made the gruesome discovery of a
man's body lying in the willows, half
buried in the muck and mire. He at
once called the attention of Uoetel and
several younger companions to it, and
they made an effort to uncover the
corpse, only to find. that it was in such
condition that they could not touch it.
It had evidently been in the water
for some time, as the body was devoid
of flesh, only the bones of the skelton
remaining. An effort to recover the
body caused the head to separate from
the body, leaving the headless trunk
and limbs of the skeleton in one place,
while the head was entirely separate.
The men and boys made a cursory
search of the body in the hopes of find
ing something by which the remains
could be identified, and in this they
were partly successful, they discover
ing a Burlington time check on the
man's person, and also a gold watch.
The check was dated May 30, 1908, and
bore the number 98231. The name of
the payee, though, had been erased by
the waters and all the writing was il
legible. There was also a gold watch

Fine Herd of Cattle. :

out look. He has just had his herd on

world and at the Des Moines show they
captured the following prizes: Captain
4th, first prize for 2-year-old; first prize
bull calf; first prize senior heifer; first
and third. prize on produce of cow; first

upon the person, and some six or seven
pennies in the pockets.
The men took the check and watch
from the remains and brought tnem
down to the city, where they were
turned over to SherifF Quinton, who,
this afternoon, in company with Un
dertaker Sattler, went up to the place
where the skeleton was found and
brought it to the city.
From its appearance the body had
been in the water for not less than two
months, and it was quite impossible to
identify it, save by the chec k or watch
number.
From several bridge men it is learned
that one of their number disappeared
some months ago up near Ashland, and
they believe this skeleton to be that of
the unfortunate man. The identifica
tion will soon be made, doubtless, as
the check number can be located by
the Burlington people.
Since the above was written the Bur
lington has kindly furnished the au
thorities here with the information that
the time check No. 98231 was issued to
J. P. Jensen, a bridgeman employed on
the Burlington bridge gang under Fore
man W. H. Hook. Jensen left the
service of the company about the date
of the time check, and doubtless was
accidentally killed shortly after receiv
ing the check.
TIIE BELLEVUE
COLLEGE AFFAIRS
Meeting of the Executive Committee,
of Which Dr. Salsbury is a Member.
Rev. J. H. Salsbury was a passenger
for Omaha Saturday, where he will
attend a meeting of the executive com
mittee of Bellevue College. This com
mittee is composed of six of the general
committee, and meets once a week and,
occasionally of tener. It has the general
control of the affairs of the college.
The general committee has two mem
bers from this city. Dr. J. T. Baird be
ing the additional one. Rev. Salsbury
explains that the affairs of the college
are not in a very satisfactory shape
financially and the executive committee
has adopted a very broad and compre
hensive plan for an extension of the
field of activity of the college, adopting
what will ultimately be an university
scheme. They propose to establish aru
university in Omaha, leaving the Belle
vue college to handle the preparatory
work. Considerable trouble has devel
oped between the college authorities
and H. T. Clark relative to the title to
the property at Bellevue, Mr. Clark be
ing dissatisfied with the plans of the
board for university extension, and
threatening to invoke a reversionary
clause which he had placed in the deed
to the property, so as to defeat this
move. It is hoped that the matter can
be amicably adjusted so as to permit
the expansion of the college and the up
building of a great university in the
middle west. ,
