G'vrrrNmrHf'f Irrigation PrjeiM in 1H
Washington special to the Omaha
Bee: A few days ago Senator Paddock
received a letter from State Geologist
L. E. Hicks, at Lincoln, in reference to
tho former's apprehension as to tho pos
sible consequences of intercepting the
Waters of the Platte in connection with
the proposed irrigation projects by the
government Prof. Hicks states that
hitherto they hove been used only dur
ing the irrigating season, but that since
it is proposed to impound also the flood
and storm waters and the meltincr snow
in the mountains, Kansas and Nebraska
ought to stand together, not only to
guard their people from injury in this
matter, but to secure some adequate
share of the benefits arising from the
exiwnditure of the W,000,000 estimated
for the preliminary surveys, and that
there should be prompt action to change
the proposed plans before all the waters
are tied up bv vested ritrhts. The
letter of Prof. Hicks was referred
to Major Powell, the chief of the
geological survey. To-dav Senator Pad
dock received a reply. "Major Powell
says that the Platte and the Arkansas
have their sources in the mountains of
Colorado and Wyoming, but after pass

they receive great additions to their vol

1 IUU (
Schnyler (Neb.) special to the Omaha
Herald: For the it twenty-four hours
the unusually quiet county aeat of
Schnyler has been engaged in the throes
of intense excitement, induced by a
large and voluptuous sensation. When
theear!y riser, in the vicinity of the
court house down in the southeastern
section of the city looked out of their
windows this morning they discovered
the bare eottonwood tree in the court
house enclosure bore a burden in ine
shape of a corpse. The body was that
of George Hagerman, the young horse
thief who was brought in from Elkhorn
three weeks ago and lodged in the
county jaiL
Hagerman'. offense was the burning
of a barn lelonging to John Craig, a
firmer living six miles from here.
While the flame, were in progress he
rode away with several of Craig s horses,
three of which he took to Omaha, where
he left two and rode the third to Elk
horn. At this point be was caught after
several day.' hiding in the wood.
When Hagerman was first incarcerated
in the local iail there was a strong feel
ing against him. and it wa feared that
an attempt would be made upon bis life.
On one occasion the sheriff, Joseph
Kndrna, was forced to fire upon a gath
ering of indignant spirit, who congre
gated for the evident puriose of fes
tooning s tree with Hagerman. As the
days pasted, however, without a second
attempt being made upon the life of
the prisoner, the guard which had been
set was released. The fruit of this
action is Hagerman'. death this morn
ing. TBI JAIL
The jail is a two story building, situ
ated about twenty yards from the house
of Deputy Hheriff Houtek. who Las
charge of the institution. Tho locks are
simply ordinary cast iron affair, and
easily broken. Hagerman's cell was on
the east side of the building in the
loner floor. The only other occupied
cell was that of a wife-beater named
Di iick. At the other extremity of the
corridor and on the west side the door,
of the cells are of barred iron with
wooden door, inside. Derick claim, to
have heard and seen nothing through
out the uieht, but his statement in this
regard is discredited.
About 2 o'clock the wife of Sheriff
Kudrna, whose husband was absent
from the citv. heard a pistol shot and
called Deputy Houfek, who stops in the
house. Houfek arose and went nail
way to the iail. according to hi own
story, snd, seeing nothing, returned to
sleep.
THE OHASTM DWCOVEBT.
In the morning the woman looked
from her window and caught sight of
the swinging form of Hagerman. Mr.
Houfek immediately summoned Coro
ner Shafer, who cut the ooipa down.
Hagerman was standing in such a posi
tion that had he been able to stand erect;
death by strangulation could not have
resulted. It is evident, however, from
the wounds on his body that be was un
conscious when strung np. These in
juries comprise a cut over the right eye,
one on the forehead, another on the
riu'ht temple, and a fourth in tha back
of the head. The physicians, however,
assert that these were not sufficient to
cause his death, which they attribute to
strangulation. The rope employed was
an old half-inch line with a slip noose,
which had worked around beneath the
chin. Ulood from the cuts had covered
and frozen upon the face. The limbs
were drawn up and the man's appear
ance was most repulsive. The lody
was frozen rigid, so that force was nec
essary to get it into a coffin. It was
clad only in a shirt and pair of drawers,
the latter having falling over the feet
After this was done the corpse was
tuken into the court-house, where an in
quest was begun, and continued until
to-morrow.
From the testimony of witnesses al
ready examined it is evident that but a
small force, not over half a doten at
most, attended Hagerman in death.
Kuspicion is chiefly directed against the
farmers outside the city. The dead man
had no relatives so far as known.
George Hagerman, the victim, it will
be remembered, was arrested a few
week, since for horse stealing and arson
in connection with the burning of tha
Craig barn, in the conflagration of which
so much valuable blooded stock was
consumed. Hagerman was a German
aged alwut 20 years, but his career in
Nebraska, though brief, has been de
cidedly sensational Last 8epteml-r
he was arrested, charged with stealing a
