We have a very mesger report of
a shooting affair that took place at
Kagle Monday. Andrew Hess, a
highly respected farmer, living
about four miles south of Kugle
was shot and probably fatally
wounded by Kdward Carr of the
same place. The onlv reason for
the shooting that we can learn is,
that they were both driving along
the road south from Kaele. when
Hess, wanting to drive faster than
they were then going, pulled out of
the road ami attempted to pass
Carr. This threw Carr into a pas
sion and driving ahead reached his
home first and when Hess came
along, ho caine out of the house
with a shot gun, leveled it at Hess
and ifred. Mr. Hess was accompan
ieif by his family but no report of
the affair state that anyone else
was hurt. A tclenhone iius:i ....
from Lincoln apprised the county
attorney here that Hess could not
recover and asked that the sheriff
be sent at once for Carr. He is now
in the county jail. Carr is the son-in-law
of J. O. Adams the banker at
Kagle.

The police of New York City are
inclined to think that they have the
notorious "Jack the Ripper" in their
clutches. A woman was found Sun
day night with her side ripped up
and a knife sticking in the wound
The knife was traced to one Frank
Castellanoan Italian barber, whose
record has Jheen under a police
search light. It has been discover-
e 1 III it until recently, he has been
a fireman aboard one of the transat
lantic steamers.
There are circumstances connect-
with the case that incline the po
lice to believe C'astcllauo is none
other than the inisterious man who
kept London in terror for two years
Some go so far as to say the pris
oner will be found identical with
the man who accompanied "Old
Shakespeare" to the Fast River Ho-
tel on the night of her murder, for
whose death "Frenchy," the Greek,
is now servinir a term m slate

Fifth Street squad, is elated over
the capture, and says he will make
every effort to secure a complete
account of Castellano's travels and
operations during the last few
years.
