Hate Found on
Patterson Grave
Batcher Enife in Boquet on the
Grave of Murdered Surveyor
Speaks of Hatred
From Monday's Daily
Does the lonely grave of Fred P3t
terson. murdered county surveyor,
carry the clue that will unlock the
secret of his slaying?
This morning Deputy Sheriff Rex
Young in company with Robert Pat
terson. son of the dead man. and Jog
Shera, a son-in-law, visited the Rock
Bluff cemetery where is the last
earthly resting place of Fred Patter
son, finding cn the grave a small
bouquet of dried flowers and in the
center was a smell butcher knife,
eight inches in length.
This bunch of flowers were appar
ently of the common garden variety
and from the appearance had come
from some home garden and not a
florist and while now withered from
exposure, it is hoped to find the var
iety of flowers that made the boquet.
The floral tribute with its emblem
of hatred driven into the earth of
the grave had evidently been placed
on the grave at the time of the fun
eral or a very few days thereafter
as its appearance was similar to
other of the dried floral remem
brances. The finding of the knife and the
flowers again revives the belief that
the crime was the work of one who
knew Patterson well and also who
has resided in the neighborhood,
bearing a hatred or malace for the
dead man that even death could not
still and finding expression in the
silent placing of a death weapon in
the boquet.
Since the murder of Mr. Patterson
on Saturday. September 12th, the
authorities have been working on
the case but this is the first clue that
might reveal one whose feeling was
so intense against the murdered man
that they would come and leave a
defiant challenge on the grave.
BOWEN TO ASYLUIX
From Tuesday's" Daily ; ,i)nj
William Bowen. who for -a thirty
day period led the authorities over
the west a merry chase with a flood
cf fradulent traveler checks, was
this morning found insane and or
dered sent to the state hospital at
Lincoln for care. J
Bowen. who was here for a num
ber of weeks engaged as a painter,

was held at the hospital for the Ne
braska officers.
Th? man was returned to Nebras
ka and for several weeks was at the
University hospital under meaicai ;
care, his back being injured severely
in the wreck. Later he became so
unruly at the hospital that it was
necessary to have him taken to the
state penitentiary hospital and held
there until two weeks ago when he
was brought here and charged with
forgery. Bowen made a plea of not
guilty to the charge and was to have
been tried here at the November term

When coming here Bowen repre
sented himself as a world war vet
eran but it has since been revealed
that he had been in the army but
enlisted after the world war In 1919.
His membership in the Legion has
been revoken and his card taken up
since the fact was ascertained, that
he was not a service man.
Bowen has been in several insti
tutions over the country for treat
ment. It is stated, and which led to
the decision to file the charge of In
sanity against him here.

a very close call from being
chocked to death as the result of a
rather unusual accident. The little
boy has a small fenced enclosure in
which he plays while the members
of the family are engaged in the
necessary household tasks and this
morning the little one was placed
in the pen while Mrs. Duxbury was
attending to some household work
In the laundry. Nearby the pen was
the small dog that was chained to a
tree. In some manner the dog was
able to get over into the pen and
jumping around in play with Rich
ard had caught the chain around the
neck of the baby and struggling to
get free the dog had tightened the
chain on the neck of the child. The
child was alone only 'a few minutes
and when the mother came from the
laundry to look after the child she
was terrified to see that his face was
discolored and the struggling dog
gradually choking the little lad.
Richard was released from his posi
tion but suffered several lacerations
on the necK irom tne cnam ana it
was sometime before he was fully
over the effects of the choking.
