Otis llnmi, Who Struck Hla Neigh,

lieved to Have Fled
from Hla Home.
HUMBOLDT, Neb.. Nov. 24. (Special.)
; Christopher Stucke, the young farmer who
wu ctruck and badly Injured last Sunday
evening by a billiard cue In the hands of
Otis Slmms, another young farmer of this
section, was taken to Sabetha, Kan., for an
operation to relieve the pressure of a frac
tured skull upon the brain, and the report
reaches here of his death, which came
without hla restoration to consciousness1.
The affair occurred at Nlms City, a town
of 100 or more inhabitants, ten miles south
east of here, but was kept quiet by those
Interested until yesterday, when tne condi
tion of the patient became so alarming that
hs. had to be moved as above.
According to the vtory told by eye wit
nesses Stucke was engaged In a game of
billiards when Blmms entered the room and
In passing the table Stucke thought he de
tected the newcomer moving one of the
balls with which he was playing. A dis
pute over the matter occurred and It la
claimed Slmms drew a pocketknlfe with
which he threatened to carve Stucke. The
latter stopped playing and, going over to
Slmms, forced him to put up the knife,
which he Anally did with very poor grace.
When Stucke went to leave the room
Slmms made some remark which started It
all over again and seized a billiard cue,
striking ' Stucke ; over the head with the
heavy end and followed It up with a couple
of blows on the chest and abdomen.
Stucke fell and lapsed Into unconscious
ness, from which he never recovered. The
surgeon who first made an examination
failed to And evidence of the fracture and
all thought tho young man would recover.
However, when he failed to recover con
sciousness after several days another sur
geon was called In and the real state of
things dlcovered.
Stucke was unmarried and his father and
other relatives live In the neighborhood of
the scene of the trouble.
Blmms Is a married man and also has
numerous relatives In this part of the
county. Both are about 30 years of age.
The authorities made no attempt to de
tain Simms and It Is now learned that he
disappeared from home when he learned
that his victim might die. It is thought,
however, that he can be located without
serious difficulty.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, NOV. 2B.-iSMTlal. After '
being flooded with letters ami telephone
messes most of the day urging liim to
take a hand In Omaha's inui.inp.il affairs.
Governor Mickey announced during tho
afternoon that he had decided not to go to
the meeting to be held th.'n- tonight. Gov- ;
ernor Mickey felt that his presence at the
meeting could do no good, nnd If he went I
he would merely go as a spectator. M.s ;
feels that Omaha should le umply nlle to ;
take care of Itself and It Is hi opinion j
that If a change la needed In the police i
board or In the police force those demand-
ing such changes or those criticizing that
department of the city government should
file charges sustained by the evidence and
thus secure the changes.
It Is evident that some citizens of Omaha
have a high opinion of the governor's
ability to cope with situations out of Ms
line, that they profess to believe the citi
zens and city government cannot handle.
This morning the governor received a
letter from a minister of Omaha telling him
that Omaha had policemen "ho had eyes
but would not see" and a few other quota
tions; telling the governor that the silonns
were run open on Sundays and concluding
with the statement that his good offices
were needed In tho matter.'
After reading the letter the governor re
marked that this minister hnd the remedy
at hand if he desired a change of condi
tions In Omaha. He could easily file a
complaint In some court, the governor sug
gested, or he coi:ld file a complaint against
any member of the pollen force or any
member of the Board of Fire and Police
commissioners.
Doctors to Appeal.
Judge Post, representing Dr. Walker and
Dr. Monk, whose certificates were recently
revoked by the State Board of Health for
unprofessional conduct, was In Lincoln this
morning and announced that he Intended to j
appeal the case tc the courts. Should the i
.case be appealable the trial probably will
occur In Lancaster county. Some legal au
thorities say, however, that the courts have
no Jurisdiction In the matter, as a case of
the samo churacter was tried ohce before
and the supreme court upheld the state
board, ruling that Its power was supreme.
Still After Colby.
According to the latest report filed by
Examiner Wiggins of his examination of
the book of former Adjutant General
Colby the latter is Just now $141 short on
premiums on warrants that should have
gone to the state and $126 short on the Wil
bur affah. The shortage In the first place
has not yet been reported to General Colby.
The warrants that General Colby had
drawn to pay out now on file In the audi
tor's office that were sold to the permanent
school fund, were bought at a. premium,
and so far no records have been found
showing that the state got the premium.
The state has already received $590 from
the general government as part payment
of the amount due, as unearthed by Mr. I
Wiggins.
Trouble for Treasurers.
According to tho opinion of Attorney
General Prout those county treasurers wlic
are accepting a portion of the taxes as
sessed o against . railroad companies,- even
under protest, are violating the law. Mr.
Prout believes tho county treasurer Khould
collect all of the taxes at once or none.
He has received a number of request from
county treasurers asking advice In the mat
ter and he has referred to hla former opin
ion on the subject given In 1901. Thut opin
ion Is as follows:
An examination of the revenue law con
vinces me that the legislature Intended
that a tax debtor should pay an Item of
taxes at a single payment, and that the
county treasurer should not be compelled
to divide an item and to receive parti U
payment at one tlm and the balanca nt
another time. If a county treasurer may
divide an item of taxes into two parts lor

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 20. Stephen Putney, Jr.,
the son of a wealthy Richmond, Va., shoe
manufacturer, who disappeared nine days
ago while visiting the tine arts building
at the World's fair, returned today to the
Hamilton hotel, where his brother, Lang
home Putney, Is stopping, in company with
a friend of the family who had been sent
to Kansas City to get him.
Young Putney, for whom the police and
his relatives have been (searching since the
day after his disappearance, wus in Kansas
City all the time, stopping at 623 Walnut
street, it la stated.
Later in the day the seal of silence ad
hered to ever since the young man's disap
pearance waa broken by Langhorne Putney,
who said they were going to Jefferson Bar
racks to see what could be done about
getting Stephen Putney discharged from
the army. According to the statement made
by him, Stephen enlisted In the army ut
Kanaas City, his size enabling him to pitas
as of the required uge without difficulty.
He was. sent from Kansas City to Jefferson
Barracks, according to laxnghorne, and on
his arrival there was recognized by an
officer from published descriptions of him,
and It was this officer, Langhorne said,
who had accompanied him to the hotel.
Langhorne Putney thought that as
Stephen was only 16 years of age, there
would be no difficulty about getting him
discharged from the army.
The brother of the youth said further
that Stephen had been drugged and ab
ducted by three men with whom he had
taken a drink. Linhorno declares thut
after the drink Stephen loHt consciousness
and remembered nothing more until he
found himself In a strange city.
Stephen wna told he was In Kansas City,
Langhorne says. He had no money and
knew no one to whom he could appeal for
help. He was ashamed to notify his family
of what had happened and, disconsolate,
wandered about until he saw a poster call
ing for army recruits. He decided to en-t
list In the United States army and went to
the recruiting office,
Putney's brother waa overjoyed when the
young man reached the hotel today, and
at once notified the other members of tho
family, who are in Richmond, of his safe
return,
Langhorne says Stephen met the three
men while he was In the Fine Arts building
at the World's fair Just after having sep
arated for a moment from Ms sister-in-law,
Mrs. Langhorne Putney, trhoae purs
contained her Jewelry, valued at more than
$1,000 and about $30, was In the young
man's care. He also had about $25 of his
own money. At the headquarters of Colo
nel Anderson, In command at Jefferson
Barracks, it waa stated today that noth
ing was known of the supposed enlistment
of Stephen Putney in Kansas City. It waa
also stated that to the commanding ofll
cer's knowledge the boy has not been re
ceived there.
