DRUGGIST AND JEWELER Avoca, - - - Nebraska SOMEWHAT OF JOLT FOR BLOODHOUND EVIDENCE The value of bloodhound evidence has received something of Jolt in the recent attempts to track the criminals who dynamited the court house and to uncover the two murderers of Mr. Cohn, who fell before an assassin's bullet last Saturday night. In both cases the hounds failed completely. In the trail of the murderers, they went seemingly to the two men who sat In a shed at LaPlatte that, In a lawless community, the men might have been roughly dealt with before the establishment of their perfect alibi. There have been Instances where men have been run down by blood hounds as the perpetrators of crimes, and who have either been lynched or sent to prison as being the authors of these crimes, when the evidence has been no more conclusive than It has been in the recent use of the bloodhounds here. In a track across fields or through woods, hounds, once having scented a trail, may be relied on safely to fol low It. But In a city where many peo ple cross the footsteps of ot her peo ple, the reliabllitay of the blood hounds may be seriously questioned. Omaha World-Herald.
