NO 93 SHERIFF STEWART IS THREATENED OVER TELEPHONE Prowlers Seen Around Home Last Evening ; Threatening Tele phone Message Received. From Thursday's Daily: Last night while Sheriff E. Stewart and Deputy Sheriff W. Young were out in the vicinity of Weepnig Water the home of the sher- iff was visited by two prowlers who ereatlv frightened Mrs. Stewart, who was home alone at the time. The parties, who. as far as Mrs. Stewart could see in the dusk, were' apparently young men and came up ' to the cornvr of the lot on which the; Stewart residence is located on North' 6th street and stood there for some time and were arguing as to advis ability of going on up to the house Itself. Mrs. Stewart, through an open window, was able to hear a part ! of the conversation of the two men. One seemed to be urging the other to go up to the door of the house. One of the parties stated. "You go on up to the house and scare the devil out of her you know what he said.." The man urged to do the invading had evidently no desire to proceed as the party speaking first again said. "He's not here; I know where he is." This caused Mrs. Stewart to become quite frightened and she telephone! down to the main part of the citvlreen was arraigned on a complaint in an endeavor to secure Mr. Stew-jf"fd by County Attorney J. A. Cap art but he had not returned from charging her with having shot the country and it was not until 'at Deputy Sheriff W. R. Young on some time later that he returned i Tuesday, May 27th with intent to home and was informed nf rhe v'sit!wOund of the parties. Evidently the men had gotten cold feet or had over heard the telephoning and made good their escape. This morning while Mrs. Stewart wa3 engaged In her housework the telephone rang and she answered and was delivered a very threatening message, "Don't think we are scared; we'll get him yet."'

Jr., is wearing a very much disfigured countenance today as the result of a severe fall that he received yesterday at the farm south of this city. Oscar had let several head of horses out of the barn and was driv ing them out when he tripped and fell and evidently struck the parti tion of one of the stalls as the force of the fall knocked him un conscious and on his recovery he found that tne right side of his face wa badly bruised and the effects of the blow on the nose had been most severe.

From Thursday's Dally The territory around Nehawka and Murray may yet be -'otted with oil derricks if the plan oT the promot ers of the variou . unpanies inter ested plan out and the hopes of the iliillers of the exp.imental wells are realized. The latest phase of the drilling operation is the intention so it is stated of James T. O'Hara. who was the first person to investigate the Nehawka field for leasing, to have the company in which he is inter ested, sink a well on some of the land th- r I uas under lease. The re. t well that is being drilled iiul ceen at a standstill for the past two weeks, owing to the fact that the drill used in sinking the well had become stuck and which necessitated securing special machinery to release the drill from its position in the mass of flint rock and shale some 800 feet beneath the surface of hte earth. Just where the new well that the O'Hara interests will sink is to be located, has not been announced, but it will probably be nearer Ne hawka as the land leases held by Mr. O'Hara are largely adjoining the town and immediate vicinity.
