From Wednesday's Daily
An" examination to determine the
sanity of Steve Biddick, charged with
arson, and who has been in jail for
several weeks awaiting the time of
his trial, may be made before the
case is called in court this coming
month.
Mr. Biddick has been reported as
showing signs of mental trouble for
some time and his attorneys are de
sirious that the case be investigated
and tests made a3 to the man's sanity
before the case is brought to trial.
Since his preliminary hearing in
county court when he was bound
over to the county jail on the charge
of arson, Mr. Biddick has been con
fined in the county jail and for some
time he has shown a very sluggish
interest in the happenings around
the jail and spent much of the time
in sleeping and has shown very ec
centric actions that led to the belief
that he might be failing mentally.
Statements alleged to have been
made by Biddick which were intro
duced in the preliminary hearing also
showed a tendency to eccentric ideas.
County Attorney W. G. Kieck will
probably, in view of the request of
the attorney for the defense, ' nave
the man examined by experts to de
termine, if possible, his sanity and
if he is found insane a complaint
will be filed against him for. his confinement.
Accidents will happen, but the best
regulated families keep Dr. Thomas'

Old Resident of the City Passed Away
After Illness of the Past Week
at Home in This City.
,
Prom "Wednesday's Daily
This morning shortly after the
midnight hour, Gottfried Gustave
Pitz, one of the old time residents of
the city passed away at his home on
Wintersteen hill, following an illness
of a little over a week.
Mr. Pitz had not been in the most
robust health for some time and with
the infirmaties of advancing years
there came the illness of the wife
and its attendant worry to the aged
man. Mrs. Pitz who was at the hos
pital in Omaha, returned home the
middle of last week and since that
time the husband has been bedfast
a great part of the time.
The deceased was a native of Ger
many and has resided here for the
greater part of the time since arriv
ing in the United States. He has
many friends here who have known
him for years and will mourn most
sincerely his untimely death.
, There are left to survive his pass
ing the aged wife and one son, Otto
Pitz of this city. Of the other rela
tives a nephew, Julius A. Pitz, and
a cousin, Joseph Fetzer, are also left
to mourn his loss.
The funeral will be held on Friday
afternoon at 2 "o'clock from the late
home on Wintersteen hill and inter
ment will be made In Oak Hill ceme

ALBERT CLABAUGH ILL
A message was received here today
by Col. and Mrs. M. A. Bates an
nouncing the fact that their son-in-law,
Albert Clabaugh, was quite ser
iously ill at St. Louis, buffering from
very severe attack of pneumonia.
Mr. Clabaugh has been'. removed to
the St. John's hospital where he is
being cared for and where Mrs. Cla
baugh is assisting" In his care dur-
ng the jBicknesa. .The .condition of
Mr. Clabaugh ia -reported as being
quite grave and caused a great deal
of apprehension to' the members of
the family,
Mr. Clabaugh was formerly a resi-
dent here where he was manager of
the Nebraska & Electric company for
number of years and his many
friends here will regret very much
to. learn of his illness and trust that
he jnay soon have a speedy recovery
from the attack of pneumonia.
BOYS DESTROY PROPERTY
The authorities, for the past few
weeks, have been more or less an
noyed by reports of the destruction
of property by boys over the city
and which is going to be the source
of a great deal of trouble to the
boys.it the habit is continued. The
residence property of Lawrence Stull
n .the west second ward has been
practically gutted by the depreda
tions of the boys as a part, of the
doors, window sills and other parts
of the. building have been torn out
and carried away, and even some of
been taken out by the Invaders.
There are also other cases reported
over the city where window lights
have been broken out of buildings,
as well as plastering and wall paper
damaged in vacant houses. These
depredations will finally result in the
parties doing them being sent to the
state reformatory if they are con
tinued and the parties committing
them had better cease action at once.

along so well and trust that he
may soon be able to return home.
