At the county jail Kinney told his story to County Attorney Cunning ham, relating that he had met Meyers and several companions some days ago and they had declared he had given away bottles of beer to boys and had called him unprintable names. He had told his friends that no one could call him that and get away with it. He came to this city from Doniphan on a noon train and upon his first call at the Sorenson saloon, where the shoot ing began, he appeared nervous and said he was sick. He was given a small bottle of beer. Later he called at the'Haux Hard ware company store for a revolver, but the firm not handling weapons, he was directed to the sporting goods store of George Guenther, where the clerk sold him a revolver for $6.50. He was given directions how to load and discharge the weapon and went out, but came back in about half an hour and said it did not work right. He was again shown and left, saying he had a couple of dogs to kill and was going to kill them. It is sure that Kinney returned from here to the Sorenson saloon in which Meyers was standing, talking to Martin Erickson. Without a word other than an oath, according to Erick son and others in the saloon at the time, Kinney drew the revolver and shot in the direction of the men. The first shot In the saloon went into the wall, just missing Erickson. A second shot was fired as the men were emerging. A third shot, fired while Kinney was on the walk, lodged In Meyers' back, entering the right shoulder. Meyers ran a few st§ps further, fell to the walk and explreij.

Butler ind his assistants have been unable to ind the receipt stubs for many trans itions, but the co-operation of other iX-Dundee officials has enabled them ,o procure many original receipts. In he case of some items no entry ap pers on Westerfleld's books to corre ipond with the receipt. In other in itances. entries have been found in the looks for amounts different from hose shown on the receipts, given at he time the money was paid.

Westerfield, missing treasurer of the late village of Dundee, was seen in De troit by an Omaha man, after the date of h'g disappearance in Chicago two weeks, according to reliable authority. This report dismisses the suggestion that Westerfield may have suffered foul play in Chicago, but does not nec essarily conflict with his family’s the ory that he may be under a mental aberration. Westerfield was administrator for several estates. He was appointed ad ministrator of the estate of Grace E. Beals, August 14, 1914, his name being mentioned in the will. Although a year hag elapsed since Mr. Westerfield's appointment, the pro bate clerk states no inventory has been filed, although that should have been done three months after appointment of administrator.

S. Allen, of Lincoln, a brotlierinlaw of the two Bryans. The position is one of the best Nebraska jobs in the gift of the national admin istration, and has been variously dan gled in the faces of Judge Good, M. T. Corey and Judge Loomis, with a fight broached every time either name was mentioned. Allen was the head of the Wilson league in 1912, and this organ ization did the major part of the work, because the state committee was dom inated by Clark and Harmon follow ers. Allen has several times insisted that he was not a candidate, but re cent admissions indicate that he has been brought into the deal in an effort to patch up differences and divide the spoils between the two factions. There are three federal offices—marshal, dis trict attorney, and revenue collector— each paying around .$4,000 a year, find now that the Lincoln postoffice has been made vacant through the death of F.

ORDUNA ATTACKED, ESCAPES U-BOATS - j British Passenger Vessel With f 21 Americans on Board Escapes Torpedo By ^ Barely Ten Yards. ' SEVEN SHELLS ARE FIRED Shots From Submarine Barely Miss Steamer — Claim No Warning of Attack Was Given By Assailants. New York, July 19.—The British passenger liner, Orduna, with 227 pass engers aboard, 21 of whom were Ameri cans, was attacked without warning by a German submarine at 6 o’clock in the morning of July 9. 16 hours out of Liv erpool, on her way to New York. An nouncement of the attack was made by the ship's captain, Thomas McComb Taylor, and passengers, when the Or duna reached here today. A torpedo was fired at the steamer and missed it by 10 yards. Twenty minutes later, a submarine rose to the surface, possibly a different submarine from the one that launched the torpedo, and. for half an hour thereafter, pur sued the steamer, firing shells which whistled over the decks, above the heads of passengers standing there with their life belts on. Ton minutes be fore the attack a sailing ship, with two American flags painted on her sides, was seen ahead. Captain Taylor became suspicious of this craft and began ma neuvering his ship Then came the at tack. the first warning of which was the streak of a torpedo, which whirled through the water and missed the Or duna’s stern by 10 yards or there abouts. 4 fassengers Prepared. ' Stewards ran below and aroused the \ passengers. With clothes hurriedly 1 fastened haphazard, they made for the l upper deck. There they were assem bled near the bridge. Life belts were adjusted and life boats swung out. The crew stood ready to launch the boats. From a submarine off the starboard quarter there came a shell which kicked up a miniature geyser in the Orduna’s wake. The submarine had the range. Captain ^Taylor turned the stern of the ship toward the assailant and or dered full speed ahead. Within from two to five minutes another shell, this time passing over the heads of the as sembled passengers was fired. As it overshot the mark, its landing place was marked by a rising column of wa- fi ter. W Shells Graze Steamer. A third shell passed overhead and so close that it seemed to clip a life boat. Captain Taylor ordered the passengers to go to a lower deck. They obeyed and the life boats were adjusted lower still so that the pas sengers might step into them without delae,’. The shelling continued, shots fnllfig about the steamer at inervals of from two to five minutes. For about half an hour the submarine pursued the liner with the span of wa ter between them lengthening each minute. Seven shots were fired in all. Four of them passed over the decks. The other three fell close to the ship. Then the submarine, distanced, gave up the chase. Passengers say the submarine attack was made without previous warning The next day a meeting of the pas sengers was held in the saloon and the following resolution adopted by 23 of them was handed to Captain Taylor: | "The first cabin passengers of the steamer Orduna desire to express their heartfelt appreciation and admiration of the masterly manner in which you maneuvered and handled your steamer during the sudden and .deliberate at tack made upon it on the morning of ^A July 9 at 6 o’clock by a German sub marine.” The Orduna’s passengers included the baron and baroness Rosencrantz, Lawrence Johnson, jr., of Philadelphia: W. O. Smith, of Chicago, and F. M. Morz, of Winnipeg. William O. Thompson, of Chicago, counsel for the industrial relations com mission of the United States, was an other of the Orduna’s passengers who saw the attack on the vessel. He de clared that he would write a protest to Washington, setting forth the details of the attack. Vessel Had No Warning. Early risers who had left their berths to enjoy the fine morning were with the captain on the bridge, when the attack began and witnessed the entire episode. Among them was Baron Marcus Rosenkrantz, of Denmark, who married Miss Rebie Loewe, of Atlanta. Ga. The baroness was with him on the trip, but did not witness the attack. “Ask the passengers what happened.” Captain Taylor said, when the Orduna Socked here today. “I am attached to the royal naval reserve and therefore rannot discuss the matter. Ask Baron Rozenkrantz. He saw the whole thing." "Bn there is one question, Captain Taylor, that you can answer, and you Gone. Were you attacked without warning?” *r l : i _ o . . i : i_i i £*• I • — I -I "We left Liverpool about 2:30 o’clock in the afternoon of Thursday, the 8th,” lie said. “At 5:55 o'clock by my watch the first missile, a torpedo was fired. A few minutes before that, however, we law a small sailing ship just ahead of us. She had two American flags painted an the side that was turned to us. She was broadside to us and seemed to be . beating up the wind. We could see her A aver the bows. / “Captain Taylor apparently became luspicioua of this boat. We noticed that ’.he course ef the ship was immediately changed so that the little vessel ahead would be given a wide berth. I could nee that we would pass far astern of her if we kept to the new course. -w “Some of those aboard believed that 1 the sailing ship was hiding a subma- ii rine behind her. Of this 1 can't say.” Thomas H. Graham, of Liverpool one of the passengers r>n deck at the time, interrupted Baron Rosenkrantz to ex press his firm conviction that such was the case. “We passed the sailing ship at a con siderable distance. Having done this, most of us forgot her,” Baron Hosen krantz continued. “A few minutes aft er we had left her behind I looked through my glasses over the sea and saw a white streak coming toward us through the water. I wasn't sure at 1 first it was a streak, such as the wake a of a torpedo or the periscope of a sub- t marine, but the question was soon set» led.
