Two Men, One From Nebraska, Ac
cused of Death of Homesteader.
Rapid City, S. D., Nov. 11. People
in this Beet Ion of the Black Hills are
much exercised over the approaching
trial of Francis J. Oago for the at
h ged murder of IV rt Morrison, form
oily of Hebron. Neb., hut more recent
1y of White Owl, this state, where lie
wns holding down a homestead.
On the morning of Nov. 23, 1911,
John Oleson was rabbit hunting In the
foothills rear Canyon lake, three miles
above this city. He missed his dog
and eventually found him gnawing the
charred remains of what later proved
to be the body of Morrison.
Stato'g Attorney Ieun Induced the
county commissioners to employ a de
tective. After a week's work he pre
sented facte, to the grand Jury which
led to the arrest of Gage and his In

Food Commissioner Will Investigate
, Oyster "Floating."
Lincoln, Nov. 11. That state owner
hip of lighting plants bus not been a
lueceris at the home of feeble minded
at Beatrice was Indicated when tin
Loan! of public lands and buildings
tonti acted vwtli u piivate concern lor
tleclri'j current for that institution lor
Uic next two years
Tb! price to lie paid is 5 cents per
kilowatt.
According to Secretary of State
Yalt, the state will save a consirable
amount. 1I said that be was not sure
what electric power generated at the
institution's lighting plant was costing
the state, but he was certain that it
was more than tin company's offer.
Other oflkl.ils of the 'board stated
that the htate plant at Beatrice can
profitably manufacture- current during
the winter months, when the heating
plant is In operation, nnd power from
that source can be applied to the elec
tric production. But In the summer
months, the coal cost Is bo great that
the production expense is too large.
The Beatrice Institution has 1,200
electric lights and uses an enormous
amount of current.
Secretary of State W alt believes
that the state owned lighting plants at
the othar state Institutions are oper
ated at a loss, considering that the
power conlrl be bought from a private
ly ow n id concern for less money.
Millions In Corn, Hay and Alfalfa.
Iabor Commissioner Guye's report
on the corn crop shows that in spite
of a decrease In acreage there has
been an Increase in the average yield
per acre and an Increase In the value
of the crop In Nebraska. The total
bushels of corn for 1910 reached 173,
000,000 and for 1911 fell to 1(13.401)0,000
bushels. This yenr the yield advanced
to lfi4.37li.O00 bushels. The valuo for
1912, however, Is greatly In excess of
former years and reached an aggre
gate or $98,l!2ii.0()0. The nll'aira crop
for the present year was worth $27,-
273,000 and the hay crop J 17,120,000,
both being gains over previous years.
Will Investigate Oyster "Floating."
Food Commissioner Nels Hansen I
will send deputies Into Omaha and
Lincoln this week to Investigate al

process of Increasing the bulk by add
ing to the original package. Com
plaints of 'floating" have Tiecn re
ceived by the food commissioner from
both cities. Owing to the stringency
of tho national law, the commissioner
believes that the watering was done
after the osiers readied this state.
A fine of $.10 Is provided for such viola

Saved Lives of Watchmen by Chang
ing His Plans.
Indiuiapoas, Nov. U. Conscience
so overcome Ortio McManigal wlieu he
blew up a -'jh" at Mount Vernon, 111.,
on April 19, 1910, that he was on the
vtrgf of rjuitting and exposing the
McNnmara dynamite plots five months
beloie the loss of twenty-one lives at
Los Ange'es.
McM-mUnI, who today continued his
testimony at the trial of the forty-five
accused "dynamite plotters," says in a
written confession, part of which has
net n made public by Charles W. Mil
ler, that twb.e while prowling about at
night with bcnibs under his arm, he
had to employ tact in saving the lives
of night watchmen. The Incidents
relative to the Mount Vernon explo
Bion, as given by McManigal, are:
He went to Mount Vernon equipped
with bombs provided by John J. Mc
Nam ant, who had Instructed him to
blow rrp a new steel structure In
Mount Vernon being erected by non
union men. First regulating the time J
piece so the bomb would explode at
11:30' p. m- McManigal placed It
where he considered It would do the
most damage. Later he discovered the
bomb- was almost directly beneath the
night watchman's shelter and the
watchman was on duty.
Watchman Suspicious.
McJfanigal walked about on the op
posite side of the street. He observed
the watchman seldom left his post and
must inevitably be blown up unless
;.e couni re got away, engaging me
watchman la tonversatlon, he attempt
ed to indnee him to go to a theater,
but it was or no use. The watchman
regarded the Invitation with sus
picion.
In derpcrrttion the dynamiter re
turned to his hotel, prepared a smaller
bomb timed to explode at about 11:23
o'cloclc, nnd sneaking through an alley
placed the s-'cond tomb ai a remote
pr,rt cf the job. The purpose, McMan
igal says, was bv the remoter bomb
timed tr explode nbout five mlnut.es
before the other one, to attract the
watchman frrm his shelter, so h
would be at the wreck, of tho first ex
plosion, out of danger, when the see
ond occurred. 1
Dunng the Interval, -McManigal
pnepf the streets In apprehension lest
his plans sNnld miscarry, but it had
the desired effect and on Feeing tn,
watchrrnn walking about alter both
explosions he took a train for St.
Louis.
McNamara Hard Hearted.
While looking In company with J. B.
McNamnra for a spot to place a bomli
on a job In South Chicago at night on
Feb. 24, 1911. McManigal asserts In
his confession, he and McNamara de
elded the only point where the explo
sion could do much damage was where
a watchman usually was posted. Mc
Namara, according to McManigal, was
In favor of disregarding the watch
man, saying, "If th watchman Is
blown up that will attract more at
tentlon."
MrMmlgal says he protested and
finally induced McNamara to decide on
another spot.
In all of these instances, McManigal
asserts, he was tempted to quit dy
namiting, but wns cautioned by those
who paid him that "they had the goods
on him." He will probably be on tne
stand for a week.
McManigal on Witness Stand.
Graphic stories of how he caused ex
plosions, how he carried dynamite In
suitcases on passenger trains and
checked the explosive at railway sta
tlons without thinking of the danger
to others, how he waited to place
bombs so night watchmen would not
pee him and how from every city
where he blew up a "job" he sent a
souvenir spoon home to his wife in
Chicago, were related by McManigal
nn the witness stand. He named
Frank C. Webb of New York. Michael
J. Young of Boston, Richard P. Houli
han of Chicago, James Cooney of Chi
cago and Frank M. Ryan, all official?
of the International Association o(
Bridge nnd Structural Iron Workers
as among thi defendants, besides tho
McNamara brothers, who knew he was
employd ns a dynamiter.
Corn Husking Machines Have to Bs
Readjusted in Northern Iowa.
nmmeisburg, la., Nov. 11. Owners
3f cornu husking machines in nort
we.it Iowa are finding the big crop
somewhat a drawback. The hot
weather and frequent rains of August
aud September iuduced extra large
growth of the ears, with the result
that tho machines are not adequate
without adjustment. It is necessary
to order larger rollers to take care
of the big fars.
Quite a number of the machines are
t.ow at work in Palo Alto county.
However, the number of men required
to take cate of the crop Is not lessened
by this fact, as very little more corn
is harvested in a day, considering the
number of men required to run them,
Minn by the oM-fasIiioned method.
