Perhaps the most important act of the week in the
Spaulding assault case was that of Wednesday morning
when the First National Bank of McCook in the person of
its cashier F A Pennell appeared before the county com
missioners of the county and added 100000 to the reward
offered for the capture and conviction of the assailant of Mrs
Claude Spaulding May 22nd This makes the total reward
offered 2 10000 and will doubtless stimulate the officers
everywhere to the strictest search for the dastardly assailant
Night Policeman Ed Fitzgerald brought another sus
pect in from Holdrege Monday on No 1 and the fellow is
being held on suspicion He is the toughest proposition the
local officers have had to deal with since the brutal affair of
May 22nd but nothing certain is felt as to his identity
It is pleasing to note that Mrs Spauldings condition is
steadily improving mentally and bodily though her facul
ties are still not perfectly restored Her knowledge of hap
penings at that time seems to be clearer than her description
of the assailant though this is improving
which the officials care
There are no new developments
to make public though they are still following clues and
hope to make good in time
Mr Robert Baker who has been in the case since
beginning is home but will continue in the search
