Airs. Harbolt states that the lad was
permitted to go out to Wvotnlng to an
ncepialntnnee In search of work about
two mouths ago. upon the promise not
to engage In sheep-herding or cattle
tending on account of the roughness of
the Hie. When, in other pursuits, the
lad did not fare as well as he had
hoped, he decided to tome home, and
evidently, In order to save his money,
Ik at hl way. He had been In the
lompnny of the stranger about a week,
and it Is evident that Kvnns, the fugi
tive murderer, was a ho'm. for whom
no act to secure money without labor
was too desperate. The boy before his
death told his mother that he mnde
no leslstanrc, ami that Kvnns did the
stabbing and heating after he had his
money $ I C.on. The woman is a plain,
hard-working German, who has linil
more than her share of woe and sor
row. She has followed to the grave
her flrht two sons. Six years ago her
husband was killed in a runaway ac
cident, this occurring one morning
about IP o'clock while the father of
the family was on his way to Campbell.
Then came three years of drouth. Her
sons hnve apparently been ttcadfast
supports, and it was with hope of go
ing out into the world t i earn for
himself and send money to Ills mother
occasionally that the flfieen-yiar-old
lad left the home roof.
Olilrials are on the trnck of the mur

T.he .battleship Noh.rjiH.kn. whUh Is
ltow being construe lid. will be
lnuiiched tfoon nt Seattle.' Wash. This
battleship belongs to the Virginia",
class, which form' by far the .largest
and most Important iftfdll Ion ever made
to the United States navy. Never be
fore hnve we built so ninn armored
ships of one class, mid never u ship
of the great displacement f ll.'.ns
tons. The Maine, or IL'.DOO tons, was a
big ship, hut the Nebraska will be
larger liy '.'.MS tons.
The Nebraska was authorized on
March H. DM'. The accepted design
wns only arrived at after u long con
eontrnversy In the naval board on Von
structlon. which was prompted by the
revival or the question of superposed
turrets. As first designiel the Nebiiui
ka was to be of M.O.'o tons displace
ment, and her main nrnininent was to
consist of four Ill-inch itnd eight S
inch breech loading rifles, and twelve
ti-ineh rapid lire g ins. beside u dozen
of the new 3-Inch rapid lire pieces, the
S-luch guns to be cat tied In tour sep
arate turrets as the Oregon.
The most striking novelty In this
lnngnlllc'int ship Is its great size. As
compared with the Maine class the
length hns gone up from ,'ISS feet to
1 155 feet, the beam from seventy-two
feet two nud one-half inches to seventy-two
feet nnd one-half Inches,
while the normal draft Is three Inches
grejiter, or twenty-three feet six
inches. Great s-ize has distinct advan
tages in the way of sen worthinths, a
stable gun platform, and wider margin
of floatation when the witter line Is
being pierced In a close action.
The fighting powers of the vessel will
be centered in the main battery of
four twelve-inch and eight eight-inch
breech-loading rifles, nnd the main
lT.pid firing battery of twelve six-inch
breech loading lilies, the secondary
rapid-fire battery of twelve fourteen
pounders and a dozen three pounders
ami the nuxlliary Imtterieti of eight
or.e pounders, two Held pieces, two
machine guns and a half dozen 0.11 au
tomatic guns. All the heavy guns will
be of the new smokeless powder long
caliber type.
The Nebraska will be fitted as a
flagship and will accommodate thirty
seven ofllcers nnd tilts seamen ncd ma
rines, a total complement of 70." per
