DAKOTA OITY, NEBR BMHUeaaMM Attempted Murder of Guy Hileman From Wcsthope, N. D., Standard. Wliile sitting quietly reading by the table at his home southwest ojf this city last Friday evening, some one wiui murder in his heart, crept stealthily up to the window of tho houso mid fired a load from a shot gun at tho head of Guy Hileman. Although badly wounded Hileman had the presence of mind to blowout the lamp, and then went to the door to look out. Just as he did so an other shot twas fired, which just grazed his side. Jhe first shot fired through the window struck him alongside tho left eye, one grain en tering the eye and it is feared ho will lose his sight on that side. Hileman walked to the home of John Kerns where Dr. Durnin was notified and also the sheriff's office. He was brought to town and has since been in the hospital. bherilT McLean. Uenuty McKin- non nnd Attorney Adams were out there the next morning to investi gate things, and discovered where a horse had been tied to a post, but had evidently becomfc frightened at the shooting and broke away, as part of a bridle was still hanging to the post. Tracks led from where the horse had been tied to the window of the house, then around in front, and from there the officers followed the tracks across the fields about a mile to the yard of J. C. Halsey. One of Halsey's horses was found lose in the yard with a bri..ou bridle on. The three Halsey boys were plac ed under arrested and taken to Bot tineau, but later the two younger were let go. James, the older was kept in care of the sheriff's office to await hi3 preliminary hearing which was held last night. Whover the guilty party . is, the deed was carefully planned, but poorly executed. Hileman is a quiet fellow, and thought he didn't have an enemy in the world. It is supposed the motive for the crime was robbery as Hileman was supposed to have drawn out a sum of money from one of the Maxbass banks that day, but had changed his mind. 1 i PRELIMINARY HEARING The hearing started last evening before Judge Mead, adjourned till this morning and lasted till this afternoon, with the resuit that the detendant, Jas. Halsey, was bound over to await trial at the next term of dissrict court. Bond was placed at $3,000. Several witnesses were called for the state, most of whom testified about the same.

Iu view of tho faotthut during tho Ranio period tboro wore many unomployod in tho cities, why is it so difficult to briug tho waiting job nnd tho jobless mnn together? Ao cording to thu department of farm management of tho Nobraska College ot Agrioulturo, "Tho oompeteut farm hand can no Iougor bo olnssed as un skilled lubor, Tho man who Btauds iu tho city broad lino is not n man who can drive n four horse teuui, rot cul tivator shovola, run a bindor, shook grniu, or husk 80 bushols of corn u day.

Burial was made in the family lot in tho Dakota City cemetery, Mem bers of the G A R post, of, which he was a member, served as pall bear ers. tho ontiro year and that suitable ac comodations nro seldom provided for tho hirod man's family.
