Inquest Held Friday And
Verdict Given.
HUSBAND IS ARRESTED
AND BOUND OVER.
Mrs. Carl Peust erboft, who has
been missing' from her home in
Logan township, Sherman county
since last Saturday, was found dead
in a ravine about three quarters of a
mile from the Geo. Ware farm
where she lived. Her shoes sat a
few yards from her, side by side,
aud the body w.is lying on its hack
with hands raised to the breast.
Her husband is suspected of hav
ing killed her or, at least being the
direct cause ot her death, and has
been arrested aud lodged in jail.
He was brought into county court
last Monday before his honor, Judge
Augier, for a preliminary hearing,
but on motion of counsel for de
fense the case was adjourned to
Thursday of this week. Attorneys
A. Wall aid Robt. P. Starr ap
peared as defendants counsel and
J. S. Pedler, county attorney for tie
state.
The country has been search by
the authorities and neighboring res
idents since Monday of last week
aud not until Friday was the body
found. A coronor’s inquest was
held over the remains Friday after
noon and a verdict of “death by
exposure due to inclemency of the
weather, due to au unbalanced mind
caused by brutal treatment of her
husband, Carl Peusterhoft.”
The facts developed at the in
quest according to Deustorhofl’sown
story were, that husband and wife
had quarreled on Friday night and
that he beat and choked her and
knocked her down. When asked
why he thus treated her said that
it was because she did not put salt
aud greese in the potatoes. lie
further stated that after he had
knocked her down she got up aud
afterwords milked one of the cows
while he milked the other, i ne
prisoner is a German and seems
to be unable to talk or understand
much English. His story was told
to Sheriff Snyder who interpreted
it to the jury. He furthe r related
that on Saturday morning early he
left the house, and went to his
brother-in-law, Mr. Graacks house
to help thresh some grain and when
he leturned in the evening she was
gone. Sunday forenoon he went to
August Moll’s farm house, then to
Straukmann’s and then to Graaek’s.
Towards evening he went home, sal
down by the table and went to sleep.
When he awoke it was dark. On
Monday he went over to Fred Jens
and then came to Loup City and in
formed the county attorney, J. S.
Pedler that his wife was missing.
Early Tuesday morning Mr. Ped
ler and Sheriff Snyder instituted u
searching party and the neighbor
hood was search far and near. On
Wednesday the search was resumed
but still no trace of her could be
found. Then is was suspected that
the husband was guilty of violent
treat incut and the cause of her dis
appearance, and from some state
ments that he made at that time
there seemed to be just cause for
his detention and he was arrested
: and held on a charge of asault
and battery, awaiting further dev
elopments.
Thursday morning, the well, which
is raid to be 1st) feet deep was
examined, a young man from Loup
City by the name of Dave Bolthum
going clear to the bottom But this
exanination also proved fruitless
Then on Friday morning many
others joined in the search aud after
diligent work the body wab found as
above stated
From ail apperances the body bad
been lying for several days in
tbe soaking rains and sweltring sun
but still there was plainly the evi
dence about the head and throat of
the punishment inflicted. It was re
moved to the house where Coronor
Geo. \V. Hunter conducted the in
quest.
Yesterday Deusterhoft was again
brought into the county court, the
complaint having been changed, in
substauee, to a charge as follows:
“That one Carl Deusterhoft then
and there, piirposlv, feloneously,
and malicousjy and of deliberate
and premeditated malice, made an
assault upon Lena Deusterhoft with
intent to kill and murder.”
The evidence given by witnesses,
some of them jurymen at the in
quest. was practically the same as
above stated with the exception of
that by Dr. Main who has since
studied the nature of the wounds
and stated that tire one inflicted on
the top of the head was liable to
cause death.
Tbe prisoner was bound over
to the district court and the amount
of bail fixed at $5,000.00
