In our report over the Haddix-Butler
killing last Sunday we have carefully
refrained from giving rumors, and va
rious unauthentic reports from either
side that might predjudice our readers.
It is well that newspapers be extreme
ly guarded in this respect previous to
a henring in the courts.
Editor J. li. Sutherland of the
Tekamah Herald is engaged in lam
pooning Judge Willie G. Sears, ex
speaker of the legislature, for alleged
badness, and doing hii artistic job of it.
Willie is poor people take exceptions to
the honesty of others until he puts back
money he took from the state w hich is
! declared unconstitutionally taken.
i The last righteous act of Speaker
' Rouse at the rlose of the session, was
to turn back into the state treasury the
800 he had received unconstitutionally
as salary for presiding over that august
body The reports h ve it that he gave
the auditor the privilege of taxing the
SCO from his last warrant as member,
and that splendid executive did not
hesitate one moment to deduct 'he
amount. In order to be absolutely
pure and wholesome House gave b ck
all left of bis legisl itive supplies, even
u> a fex calendar leafs and live or six
le-d pencils. Don’t forget that The
Northwestern led the tight that lias
ended in knocking out the legislative
graft of the past dozen years of giving
the speaker and president pro tem ot
the senate 83 per day for being bosses
of those roosts. And now we are
after the ex-speakers and ex-presidents
pro tern who have not put their un
earned salaries back

A BLOODY TRAG.DY
Melvin Butler, a Sherman Coun
ty Farmer, Killed by Scott
Haddix, a Neighbor, Just
Over the Line in
Custer.
A tragedy was enacted just over the
line in duster countv earlv last Sunday
evening, about six miles north of Litch-!
iield, when Sc tt liaddix. shot and
killed a neigh l>or. Melvin Butler, a
neighboiing farmer living in Elm town
ship. just inside the Sherman county
line. The circumstances th*t led to the
tragedy and developed at the inquest
over the body of Butler, as given at the
inquest by Butler’s daughter, aged 14
vears, and the hired man, Fuller, aged
19 years, and reported to us by one who
was present and heard the testimony,
was as follows: A little daughter of Mr.
Batler had Iteen visiting at the home of
a neighbor named Joe dill, living west
ot Iladdix's place, and on the evening
in question Butler sent two ot her of his
children after her. When the children
arrived at the liaddix farm, over which
the road led, liaddix refused to ht them
pass and they returned home. At this
Butler and Ins hired m in, named Ful
ler, e ich bestrode a luirse and sallied
forth over the di.-putid way to dill’s
after the child. When tliev reached the
Baddix farm the latter refused the right
or wav, claiming it no public road, to
which Butler claimed the opposite, but
ending in Butler and bis man passing
through liaddix going into his house,
seeming a gun and sending a shot after
the two men. On their return later,
with liutler on foot and lhe child and
hired ru m on hois* hack* they sought
to again cross the liaddix farm, when
just as Buler began opening the en
traee to the tarni II d six appeared and
ordeied him to desist. A heated dis
cu-sion ensued, followed b\ a shot from
Haddix which did 10 harm. Butl*r
lien drew a rev olver and fired at Had
dix without result, snapped ids recover
t a ice again without it going off and
then -gain the fourth time, this time,
sending a bullet at liaddix a second
time without harm. Following this.
Haddix again tired his shotgun the shot
striking Butler in the left side and \
breast, causing almost instant death.
We take another version of the affair
from a Broken iiowspecial to the Lin- j
coin and Omaha dailies, a-» follows:
Broken Bow. Nebr., April 17.— i
Scott Haddix. a well known farmer
living eight miles north of Mason, shot i
and killed Melvin Buth r, another farm J
er, on the former’s property early last
evening. The trouble, which has been j
breeding for some time, was over a
roadway running through Haddick'sj
property. Both parties met Sunday!
night on the disputed ground and Had
dix ordered Butler oft. Butler replied;
that it was a regularly laid out ro id }
and he had a right there, Butler firing}
tir.-t; so Haddix alleges, the latter re j
turned the fire from behind a post,
where he jumped, killing his antagonist
Haddix came here on the midnight
train and stayed at the Globe hotel all
night. While eating breakfast this
morning he was arrested by Sheriff
Richardson and taken into custody.!
Arrangements for a preliminary hear
ing will be made as quickly as possible.
Judge Sullivan will appear for the de
fendant. Haddix has alwavs borne a
good reputation.
We understand Judge Wall Ins also
been rerained for the defense.

Try It At Onr Expense.
This oiler may not appear again There is no
catch about it. If Mull's Grape Tonic does not
positively cure Constipation you are out
nothing, as you may have the first bottle free.
If it cures, which it will, tell others, that is all
we ask. No remedy has ever before been
known to cure Constipation permanently.
Mull's Grape Tonic is not a phy-ic. It is un
like anything you have ever used. It cures
Coustif uion If it did not thp; offer would
ruin us. The process is gradual but sure. You
know from your own experience that physics,
like Pills. Salts. Castor oil. Mineral waters,
injections, etc., make you worse.
Where can Mull's Grape Tonic be had
Your druggist sells it. The $1.00 bottle con
tains nearly three times the 50c size, but if you
will write today to Mull's Grape Tonic Co , (313>
3d Ave., Rock Island. 111., and give druggist's
name, you will receive the first bottle free with
full instructions. This gives us a chance to
prove to you at our expense that it is a wonder
ful remedy and places vou under no obligation
to invest a penny. Only tell your friends
about it. marl6-05
