On laat Sumlay afternoon word was brought to Red Cloud that another re volting crime had been committed near Blue Hill. The news created quite an excitement in this city from the fact that only a few fhort week jgo mi other human being had met a similar fate in that portion of Webster count . AlHnanner of stories were told in re gard to the last tragedy, and none seemed to be as bad as the re-uli show ed it to be. The murdered man was well known in Blue Hill, and had lived in that vicinity .-lire lhl'6, d;innir which time he had gtintd a ho-t of friends and succeeded in accumulating a farm and considerable stock. lie was an inolfeusive hardworking farmer and no man had aught to say against him. He biborcd hard to make an 'honest living, and attended strictly to his own welf;irjThis fact alone i-5 wtTalTmakes the crime so heinous in its nature. The villian, who ever he might have been could not possibly have held a grudge against this man, as he had only worked for him a week and could not have engendered any animosity against him in that time that would have led him to commit the horrible crime that took place on the fatal night of November first. Rail was simply decoyed and murdered in cold blood by this fiend incarnate in hu man form, which i-o shocked the peaceful citizens of Blue Ilili and sur rounding country that all business was su-peuded during the investigation by the coroner. A Chief reporter in company with Dr. Mo-em, coroner of Webster county, visited the scene of the murder on Monday, and was thcro f re able to glean the following facLs. It seems that about oyc week previous to the death C it"ll X 1HA.MI AITEAM.D AT BLUE HILL in search of work apparently, and wn directed to several parties living near there tluit wore known to want hired help, but each man refused him as he staled, until he made application to the murdered man. who at once en gaged him for a treason. All went well for tne week which the trampjivorked for Hall and the last named became quite attached to him fiom the fact that he appeared to be a good woik man and icady to do any work that was et before him. This fact alone would naturally have mado a man think well of the fellow. No suspicion was aroused in thc minds of Rail or family in regard to this tramp, al though the investigation by the coro ner would plainly show that he was maturing plans of some such crime as he finally executed on the night of November 1. His stories after being thoroughly analyzed were veiy trans parent, and if they had been carefully weighed would have had a suspicious look. HE TOLD VUUOUS STOKIKS about asking for work, which, repeated after the murder of Rail, would have led any one to believe that .the crime was premeditated in a cold and de liberate manner by this depraved young man, or better, fiend, who has scarcely arrived at his majority. It seems simply awful to contemplate the perpetration of such a horrible crime at the hands of so voting a man. If there could have been any cause the aspect of the case .would have been seen in a much different light. Fol lowing the story up we find that Cook as he gave his name, had finally cul minated his plans and fixed up a story tnat his .folks, who he said lived in Nodaway county, MTo., had sent him a letter that they had sold out their farm for J$1S,000 and wanted him lo meet them in Lincoln.Neb. and go to California, and said he would have to quit work and wanted Rail to take him to Blue Hill on Saturday night to take the 9PM train for that place. This was one part of his 6cheme to entrap Rail, and on Saturday after noon set about to put the balance into execution. Aceordinglylfe- went (o the house and asked Mrs. Rail for the hammer, remarking by the way that the wagon was out of kilter, and t:-at he wanted to fix it She not knowing where the hammer was, told him to take the hatchet that lay near by where she stood. Cook picked it up and went back to the wagon and fixed it, secreting the hatchet either in thc wagon or on his person as will hereafter be shown. To further his diabolical scheme he told another story about some fellow whom he had seen prowling around the wheat stack and suggested that he ought toCbe loeked af ter. This etory was evidently concocted in order to get Rail to go that way so that he would not be apt to run acro3 anyone that would interfere with his SCREXKOr JftJRDE. The stacks of grain are located about one-halt mile north of Rail's residence in a big meadow and an unfrequented spot, a good place to commit jurt such a crime aa was done on this occasion. It w known to Coofc Abut Kali had him six terrible blows on the he id with the edce of thc hab-hct ! laying open the knll in r many dif ferent pbues doing his nork mot ef feetually.

To see the beautiful pictures, minature ships, and the gift bestowed by the sailors serves to satisfy tho mo-t fkepttcal minds tft missionary work is not a farce by any means. Thc next day wo went out for a ride to see what we could. We went up over the bluffs, visited Treaty Point, and on out in the coun try. We had opportunity to see thc Japanese in their country homes and costumes. IMcase bear in mind that they ;.re not so unsocial as to live one family in a place, but they live in a long village or continuous- row of hou-es. You all have acce-s to de seriptions of Japanese houses, there fore I wUl not describe thorn, m for me nothing but a sight will ever tell what a. house consists of, either in shape or material. In thc adornments F can iay there is a great .amcn-, viz: Pig dogs babies and red lanterns. Then the field and garden to be found in the landscape view.-.

The people of Blue Hill are a deter mined, law-abiding people, and will use every endeavor to have the "insti gator of this dastardly deed appre hended and brought to a just and right ecu account for this inhuman butch ery of one of their best citizens, viz: Leonard .Rail. Our reporter heard the indignant remarks from the people and with one accord they iufeircd that it would not be healthy for tho fiend to appear in that locality. Hemp was freely spoken of as a quick and cer tain remedy for such characters, 'ihe crime of murder is becoming too gen eral for thc public safety. A too low price is placed on human life, and The Chief believes in "letting no guilty man escape.'' Whoever has the blood of this in nocent man, Leonard KSI1, upon his head may expect to have the wrath and condemnation of every good citi zen visited upon his head and will and should be meted out the severest pen alty that the law affords. There should be no such thing as leniency, as cases of this nature should be severely dealt with. $700 REWARD OFrERED, five hundred dollars of wnich has been subscribed by the people of Blue Hill, $200 will be offered by Gov. Dawes, for the apprehension and con viction of the culprit. The case is now in the hands of the proper officials, and in the next few days we feel that Cook will haye been arrested. At any rate no stone will be left untamed that will lead to his capture and punishment for one of the most atrocious crimes known in the annals of Nebraska. with a thousand other charms, give it n claim to be considered one ot the fairest portions of toe eanh. Pas-ing along a we did through thc agricul tural field wo had chance to see some natural products, the most noticable of which was cotton, rice, potato, millet and tea, (and here 1 wish to say that in Japan is where we get tea that i very fine.) We came to Yedo bay and san the old song as "we gathered up thc'shclls from thc sea shore." And all of our party joined in saying that this was one of the grand treat. Our coolies having had a rest wo placed our ahelU in and seated ourselves on ourjmnkishas and started ono after another for home at no slow pace 1 as sure you, for a man will draw you thir tv or more miles per day in tho-e tilings for two yen, which equals lSi in U.
