Slaying Cowboy;
Fearful of Mob
Altercation Over Victim's Attentions
to Wife Blamed by Slayer
for Fata! Shooting.
Alliance, Neb., July 24. Fearing
mob violence, Albert Hill, 42-year
cid rancher, who Friday afternoon
confessed he shot and killed Neal
buried him in a shallow grave last
Thursday night, wee removed from
the Sheridan county Jail at Rushvilie,
and brought here Friday night.
Animosity was aroused in RupIi
ville immediately after Hill was in
carcerated there, the officers said
when they arrived here with the al
leged slayer.
The mystery surrounding the mur
der of Oblennis, whose bullet riddled
body was found early Friday in a
shallow grave on the Nurn ranch,
eight miles southwest of Gordon,
Neb., was cleared Friday afternoon
when Hill confessed he had shot and
killed the young cowboy last Tues
day night during an altercation. Hill's
confession indicated the quarrel was
caused by alleged attentions being
laid Mrs. Hill by Oblennis.
Suspicions of neghbors, aroused by
the dsappearance of the cowboy, led
to an investigation by officers. After
the body had been found, the Hill
family was questioned. Mrs. Hill and
her mother, Mrs. Averson, finally ad
mitted that Hill had slain Oblennis.
Kill thvn confessed.
Hill said he first threw Oblennis
body into a hog pen. but later, about
midnight. 'he 'dragged the body sev
eral miles to the Nurn ranch where
he buried it in a sand grave about
three fect deep.
When arraigned in county court1
at Rushvilie, Hill pleaded not jruilty.
Oblennis, v ho -35 bora and reared
near Rushvilie. had been in Hill's em
ploy for more than a year. 1

"We notice the indifference shown
by your commissioners and others to
appeal that you made for a reward
for the apprehension of those guilty
of wrecking that institution. This is
characteristic of every other commun-
been wrecked, either from the inside
or outside, apparently because of the
fact that the patrons of the bank
know that they are going to be paid
in full for every dollar that is lost
and they complacently sit back con
tented with the fact that they are
out nothing and permit those guilty
of the outrage on the community to
go free.
"Every means at your command
should be used to apprehend and con
vict the wrecker of the Papillion

the amount you have contributed
from your own pocket, $100, as the
least we can do is to equal the In
terest that the sheriff of Sarpy coun

believe if you would make this fact
known to a few other banks in Oma

sum an amount that would enable us
to locate the bank wrecker and bring
him to justice.
