No Clew Found to Perpertrator of the Deed Although Suspect is
Placed Under Arrest at Louisville.
There have been no further de
velopments in the rape case at Avoca
since the facts printed' in last even
ing's Journal. The victim of the as
sult, Mrs. Schmidt, has suffered
greatly from shock and to add to
the perplexities of the case, she is
unable to talk English. The facts
in the rase are as stated in the Jour
nal. The unfortunate woman who
has reached the age of 65 years, was
sleeping alone in her house right in
the town of, Avoca when she was
awakened by a man in her room.
The room was very dark and she
could not get a good look at him.
He seized her and at once commenced
to try to bind and gag her. She
made a desperate effort to beat him
off but without avail. She had a
knife near her bed and got her hand
on that, trying to stab her assail
ant. She also seized him by the hair
of the head and tore a large handful
of hair out. She could not prevent
him accomplishing his purpose, how
ever, and his superior strength wore
her down until he succeerded in get
ting her tied hand and foot.
The man left Immediately after
the assault, and made no effort to
rob the house or in any manner dis
turb the premises. The unfortunate
woman struggled after he left until
she finally freed herself from her
. bonds when she struggled over to the
house of Mr. Busche, the lumberman,
to whom she told the story of the
assault. The rope with which she
had been bound was still about her
neck. Mr. Busche at once alarmed
the town and a message was hurried
ly sent to Sheriff Quinton, who with
Deputy Manspeaker, left at once for
the place in Manspeaker's automo
bile. They arrived at the scene of
the crime shortly after six o'clock
and the sheriff proceeded to investi
gate it. There was nothing tangible
however, upon which to base a search
and the lady was too badly shocked
to give any co-herent description of
the man, save that he was a large,
heavy man. She thought possibly
she had either cut or scratched him
with the knife in the struggle as
there was blood stains on her cloth
ing. This she was not positive of,
however.
It was decided to alarm the coun
try for miles around, and deputy
Manspeaker put in the morning at
the telephone office sending out the
alarm. The sherifT also decided to
send to Lincoln for blood hounds,
and these arrived there last evening
They were unable to take the scent,
however, and did no good so far as
apprehending the criminal was con
cerned. The people throughout that
section of the county, and in fact, It
is reported from all over the county,
are much exercised over the crime
and if the criminal lscaught there
may be difficulty in protecting him
from popular vath. The nature of
the crime has aroused the utmost
horor in all and Deputy Sheriff Man
speaker stated that indignation Is
great.
The theory of most of the people
is that the crime was committed by
someone thoroughly familiar with the
premises, and that it had been care
fully planned. The mode of entrance
into the building together with the
preparations which had been made
for binding the woman gives the af
fair the aspect of having been care
fully planned and carried out in a
crafty manner.
Cam Seybert,, marshal of Louis
ville, yesterday took a man Into cus
tody who had a scratched up face
and he has been engaged in making
a searching investigation Into who
the man is and his business and also
how he comes to be scratched up. It
Is not known whether the man has
satisfactorily cleared himself or not.
Sheriff Qutntou Is still out at the
scene of the crime and is doing all
he can to get some line on who
could have been the iwrpetrator of
the vile deed.
Henry Burrows familiarly known
as 'ill Henry" came in this morn
ing from his resticatious in the
country, to talk over his unseemly
conduct last Saturday when he be
came more or less lit up and ter
rorized pedestrians by recklessly driv
ing a blind horse up the street. He
also Is the party who consigned
Chief Ralney to a warmer climate
when the latter remonstrated with
Henry and wanted to shoo him home.
As told In the Journal the chief sub
sequently let Henry go home to look
after hla stock on his promise to get
back here Monday and face the pen
alty of his misdeeds. He forgot all
about the matter until this morning
when he learned that the chief was
still more or less peeved and threat
ened to throw him In on sight. Then
he hurried to the city and faced Justice.
He was arraigned and charged with
drunkenness. At first Henry
thought he would contest the suit
as he did not regard himself as
drunk. The court, Judge Archer, in
quired into what Henry considered a
state of intoxication and the latter
informed the court that a man was
not drunk as long as he could walk
and go about and talk about busl
ness. In fact, Henry's definition was
that a real drunk was such that a
man had to lie down in the road and
have the teams and automobiles
drive around him.
Judge Archer did not so construe
the definition of drunkenness and
insinuated that Henry was consid
erably to the bad In his Ideas. He
also asked Henry if he was ready to
proceed to trial and able to convince
the court that he was not drunk on
said occasion. Henry averred and
alleged that he was not ready but
he wanted a continuance until next
Saturday whereupon the court ruled
that he could have said continuance
on the payment of 50 cents In coin
and putting up a bond of $100 for
his appearance. Henry was some
shocked at the severe conditions im
posed and protested vainly. He then
coyly asked the court how many
years he would get if he plead guilty.
The court assured him that he would
not fine him more than $100 which
is the limit under the ordinances of
this city. Henry was some worked
up over the matter but finally with
drew his plea of not guilty and en
tered one of guilty. Whereupon the
court produced some star articles of
his celebrated brand of justice and
soaked Henry to the tune of five
bucks and costs. He once more
tempered his Justice with mercy and
gave Henry until next Saturday to
produce said amount suspending the
sentence until that time. Hence
Henry returned to the sltx once more
pleased with life and ready to toll and
sweat until he had said fine paid.
Social Krent.
The Euterpeans yesterday after
nooa held a social session at the
lawn of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Wescott
at SunnysIJe, their pretty home on
high school hill. The afternoon was
delightfully spent and the cool and
Inviting shade of the lawn utilized to
the utmost. Refreshments were serv
ed duriug the afternoon. The Eu-
tepeans are one of the live musical
organizations of the city and have
done a great deal for the advance
ment of music since their formation
several years since. They include
many of the young ladies of the city
and have taken an active part In the
music of the Methodist church.

Probably Will Lose Arm and Leg
. as Result of Accident
This morning's papers contain a
brief announcement from North
Platte of the extent of the Injuries
to Harry Reese, mention of which
were made In the Journal yesterday
He seems to have been much more
severely Injured that the first reports
Indicated as he has lost one arm and
one leg. According to the report,
Mr. Reese was boarding a train when
his foot sHpped and he was thrown
to the tracks, being struck by the
locomotive of a train which was pass
ing the one he attempted to board
He was rolled along the tracks for
some distance, the wheels of the lo
comotive finally crossing his arm and
leg as above stated. Besides these
terrible Injuries, Mr. Reese was also
badly bruised and sustained a num
ber of broken bones.
Harry Reese has a very large num
ber of friends here who will hear of
this accident with the most sincere
regret. He was born and raised here
and was married to Miss Eva Mc
Maken In this city. He Is the son of
Mrs. Richard Reese of this city and
Mrs. Alice Eaton Is a sister. Harry
at one time was employed by the

road for some years. It was during
this period that he was In a bad
wreck just north of this city when the
engine he was firing on plowed Into
a work train. He also was in a bad
wreck some years since near Grand
Island when a double-header on
which he was running was wrecked
and he came very near losing his
life. It Is the hope of all here that
he will recover from his Injuries and
he has the sincere sympathy of ev
eryone In his misfortunes.

A Delightful llali'tliday Party.
Mrs. Charles M. Foster entertained
at a quilting party yesterday after
noon. The occasion was In honor of
her fiftieth birthday anniversary and
the friends who assembled at her
pleasant home celebrated It In a
manner which will long bo remem

spent In plying the busy needle and
various other amusements while so
ciability reigned supreme. A fine
lunch was served during the after
noon It being both dainty and dell
clous and one to which the assem
bled guests could not fall to do ample
justice. As a memento of the auspl
clods ocaslon there were several
handsome presents left with Mrs.
Foster in loving remembrances of

County Option.
Can a person disagree with the
county optlonlsts and still be honest
In his convictions? According to the
managers of the county optlonlsts
they woul say so. Those who have
the hardihood to differ with them
are all that Is bad. For1 instance,
through their official organ, all those
who are not county optlonlsts are
alllgned with the worst elements in
the country. Here Is a list of those
whom they are supposed to trot In
political harness:
"Brewers, saloon keepers, gam
blers, prostitutes, thieves, mercen
aries, discharged anti-saloon league
men, discredited preachers, or poli
ticians who think more of the money
of the brewers than they do of the
votes of the people."
Now Isn't that a fine line up?
The News Is not In the pay of pros
tltues, brewers, thieves, discredited
preachers, or any person or persons
on earth. We own our own business
and try to conduct it for the best of
all. No man or set of men can pur-J
chase the Influence of the News.
We are opposed to county option.
We believe It only a makeshift for
those who are too cowardly to en
dorse the' liquor laws we now have
and are afraid to come out for state
wide prohibition. Every county op
tlonist says that It is only a stepping
stone for prohibition. Then why this
dlllatorlness? If we are to have
state wide prohibition give It to us
at once. Why this chopping the dog's

Don't Uvt the Big Head.
An exchange very properly re
marks: 'The 'big head' is a popular
way of expersslng common and vary
frequent ailment. It arises from va
rious sources, but the real founda
tion is a lack of sense. A little money
develops it in some people; a few
good clothes gives It to others; a
little office where a chance is given
to exercise a little authority, is often
the cause of it, while others get it
having a little better Job than their
associates. The truth is no sensible
person gets the 'big head.' The ones
who become stuck up and stiff neck
ed from Buccess of any kind are weak
