How Sohn Wh Klllnl
Snyder Neb Ian fi At Hl0 last
evening Herman Soliu a saloon
keeper was in his place when two
strangers entered and commanded
blm to throw up his bunds He re
fused and one of the robbers shot hlin
through the heart killing him Instant
ly The robbers ran out but were
pursued by citizens One of the rob
bers was shot and wounded but
both got nway although they are
still being chased by ollieei and n
large posse of citizens
Tho men with drawn revolvers or
dered the proprietor ami in men to
line up against the wall Mr Sohn
protested saying there would be no
shooting lie started to go behind
the bar when one of the robbers emp
tied live chambers of his revolver at
him all of which took effect Three
shots struck Mr Sohn In the breast
one in the head and the other in the
left side Either one of the shots
Would have resulted fatally
Wlillo one of the robbers was en
gaged In terrifying the Inmates of the
saloon the other attempted to rifle the
cash register Failing to open the
drawer he espied the safe which was
open Ho opened the strong box und
was rewarded by finding the days
receipts amounting to 71
The shooting attracted a big crowd
to the saloon A young man named
Snyder the son of the founder of the
town n barber aud another saloon
keeper covered the retreat at the rear
door of Sohns saloon
When the robbers made their exit
they tired at random putting to flight
11 In sight Young Snyder aud the sa
loonkeeper however managed to lire
Kovenil bhots at the robbers as tliev
disappeared In the darkness One of
the robbers was wounded by a shot
from the crowd but made his escape
It has been ascertained that the rob
bers drove Into Snyder aud that the
team wns left In charge of a third man
After the murder the robbers made an
nttempt to reach this buggy but the
man In charge finding the lire from
citizens too warm for him drove nway
They then turned aud disappeared
from view followed by a rain of bul
lets
LAST OF THE ROBBERS

William Darrald alias Burke who
has also been called William Burton the
last of the three men arrested for parti
cipating in the Snyder burglary and
tnnrder claims to be from Norfolk
When being taken to jail at Fremont
from West Point yesterday morning he
wa quito talkative According to the
Omaha Bee he said ho was 21 years old
and lived in Norfolk where ho had a
wife He said he was acquainted with
the people at the shack on the Klkhorn
whom he called the Williams crowd
and said ho hnd been loafing around
there for some time His occupation
he said was that of metal worker
Later he said he did a little gambling qn
the side Ho says he went to Suyder
with the other two and drank and
played cords with them during tho after
uoon He claims he hod nothing to do
with the murder and stood near the door
with his hands up lllco tho rost of tliom
that ho did not leavo Snyder with tho
other two but wont nway bocouse ho
feared tho pooplo would think ho win
mixed up with tho othors walking to
West Point whom ho Intended to oat
breakfast and then take tho train for
Norfolk Tho oftlRora dont plnco much

Wlillo Iho robbors woro still In tho sa
loon thoro wero shotfl fired outsldo and
it Is thought thnt Uurko was out ou tho
sidewalk watching mid that tho call
from Ilhea to put up his hands if such
was tho enso was only n trick to deceive
thoso in tho saloon

should receive tho hoarty support of all

anion g other aims hopos thnt congress
mny bo Induced to sot nsldo nt lonst
41100000 for troe planting In Nebraska
either as n gift to the state or for n na
tional forest The association hopes
thnt all westoru sttitos will uuito to eoo
that forest troes nro propagated mid
thnt much of tho soil which is nt pres
ent of llttlo vnluo for ngrioultural pur
poses mny bo turned to good nccount In
growing tlmbor
In n rocon t circular setting forth tho
aims of tho association it is said
Ono of our nlms is to hnvo tho stato
tnko mi interest In parks mid forests
There is no stato in the union that needs
those nioro thnu wo do mid no stato is
doing loss Minnesota for years has
boon giving promiums for troe planting
to tho amount of 22000 auuuully be
sides paying largo sums to proservo
forests nlroady oxistiug
Wo hnvo dono an immouso amount
of individual planting but the oxpor
louco of 0 years has proved oar system
to bo wrong A largo part of deciduous
trees planted ou tho divides 100 miles
west of tho Missouri river aro dead
Many of tho ovorgrcons of which wo
uad groat nones aro a failure et wo
havo found out what will succoed In our
groat rich valleys Thoro dooiduous
trees have dono woll and thoro wo can
havo Immeuso and grand forests Tho
intelligent troe has an instinct which
will find water when 15 or 20 feet from
tho surfaco and when once its pump is
sot going thoro is no further trouble
On tho divides it 1b better to plant
ovorgreeus from tho fact thnt they will
thrive ou much loss water than decidu
ous trees Among thoso sure to grow
nro tho brown tho silver and Platte
cedars tho piuyou lloxilis and poudor
osa pinos tin Bluck Hills spruce and
the silver spruce of tho Rookies With
our western piuo which grows freely in
tho northwestern part of tho stnto and
tho Plntto cedar wo can forest the most
of our plnlus Our stnto gives largo
sums to agricultural nnd horticultural
why not to forestry tho most import
ant of nil
Wo do not wnntto put up n job nor
do wo wnnt to bo extravagant but we do
want tho legislature to grant 10000
this year for planting trees tho stale to
own the plautatlounud this society to do
tho work
First bocauso many of our members
havo had largo and varied experience
and many of them nro experts
Secondly tho matter should bo kept out
of politics and tho sooioty is strictly
non partisan Whoever the society del
egntes to do tho work will be trusted
tried nud ofticieut aud will render an
account for every dollar expended
They will buy a piece of laud suitible
for the work aud it will be doedod to the
state Wo have men who know how to
carry on tho work most economically
and successfully
Perhaps it is well the stato did not
euter on tho work 25 years ago for they
might havo mado tho same mistake
that individuals havo But now the
timo is ripe and wo know just what is
to bo done The state can lose nothing
Tho work will bo dono as economically
as possible and tho stato will own it all

Charles B Hnnford retains some
happy momorics of his days as a young

J of speech and tolerant One night he
wiuuui uarroiiiLnitof thosnjiUr was obliged to go to the atago from his

led him past a number of supers He
had been playing Richelieu and when

Mr Booth I kin do that 1
Can you indeed What is

Ah let me hear you
The confident youth inflated his chest
and delivered the speech with a rasp on

tho declamation was concluded and then
said
It is very good While I differ
