Fanatics
Wanted to
%
Burn Town
Plot by Religious Cult to De
stroy “Wicked City” of
Kimball Frustrated
by Sheriff.
Think Members Insane
Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee.
Cheyenne, Wyo., Oet. 15.—Kimball,
Xeb., is a wicked city, therefore It
should be destroyed by fire.
Sounds like a proclamation from
the Old Testament, but it's only what
a group of eight religious fhnatics
living near Kimball thought about it
when they chose Sunday on which to
perform what they deemed their in
cendiary duty.
If they hadn't been so loudly as
sertive about It they might have
started something, but news of their
intention reached the ears of Sheriff
Swanson of Kimball. Wnen he start
ed to take the matter into his own
* hands, the eight alleged fanatics shut
themselves up in a stone house north
east of town, in which house Torn
Caron and his mother lived, together
with a man named I., Richardson.
AI1 three aro acknowledged leaders of
the cult.
This stronghold proved as impreg
nablo to the sheriff as Kddyville
prison did to federal officers a few
days ago, and so he detailed five
men to Intercept any attempts at
escape, and sent word to Sheriff
George Carroll of Cheyenne, 75 miles
away, to Join him in Kimball with a
supply of tear gas. Before this could
l?e accomplished, however, word came
that after an allday session the
fanatics had been caught when they
tried to leave the place !n an unlight
ed ear about 10 o'clock that night.
Garon, aboutyears old; his
mother, 60, and Richardson, are In
sane, the sheriff says, and steps
probably will he taken to place them
in an Institution. The other five are
merely crazy on religion, the officer
believes. One of them is reported to
be a shell-shocked ex-soldier.
Fish Industry of
- Value to State
Governor Says ^orlh From
Food Standpoint Can't
Be Overestimated.
Special 1 >i.piitill to The Omaha Bee,
Lincoln, Oct. 15.—Governor Bryan
lias returned from an Inspection of
the state fisheries at Valentine and
is enthusiastic over the work that is
lu ing done there.
The Valentino fisheries, lie ex
plained. Is the real workshop for the
propagation of fish in Nebraska, oth
er fisheries being more in the nature
of parks to be enjoyed by the public.
The state owns a strip of land a
half mile wide and two miles long at
Valentine, and It is rapidly being
developed into ponds that are fed by
springs. About 150,000 fish will be
produced there this year, and pro
\ lslons have been made to increase
that number 25,000 a year, two ad
ditional ponds each year being neces
sary to handle the Increase.
"The value of the fisheries from
the food standpoint cannot be over
estimated." said the governor.
The governor in a trip by automo
bile throughout the surrounding coun
try, taken as a survey to see if a
portion of the state's appropriation
for the purchase of ponds should he
pent there, had ari opportunity to
do a hit of shooting and brought
Ig^hnnie a’few birds.

Childish Ignorance of Life Led
n *
to Tragedy, Girl’s Father Avers
"If She Had Known, We Wouldn't Be in Trouble Now,
Says Man Held in Connection With Death of
Daughter's Betrayer. ,
Lincoln, Oct. 15.—In the Seward
county Jail today Adolpli Vajgrt waits
patient resignation, a heritage from
countless generations of toiling peas
ants who preceded him. the decision
of County Attorney McKilip, who has
not as yet filed any charges against
him, nor against his wife andd augh
ter, for the murder of Anton Lana.
Still a little dazed by the tragedy
that has engulfed his family, he an
swers the questions put to him with
a lackluster eye that now and again
burns fiercely as some vital point is
probed.
His testimony has included' moro
than one dtamatic moment, but none
so great as when ho explained the
deadly blackness of sex ignorance
through which his daughter has
groped.
"My wife,” he cried, “knew noth
ing when I married her, nothing at
all, and I had to be not only a hus
band, but I had to take the place of
her mother and father as well.
“They never told her anything
about life, and she has raised my
daughter in the same way. Alby
didn’t know, either. I couldn't tell
her, and my wife wouldn’t. My
daughter, she didn’t know she was
doing any wrong with Tony. She'd
never been told. If she had, we
wouldn't be in this trouble now.”
He sighed and fell back in his chair.
No one spoke, and in a moment he
continued in a dreary voice.
“I can count the good times I've
had on the fingers of one of my
hands,’ he said, wistfully. "For me
It has always been work, work, work.
Never any play. It's hard isn't it?”
Then the last spark went out of
his eyes, and he was once again the
patient peasant, schooled by the
countless European ancestors to
resignation. On the other side of the
closed door his son, Frank, was ex
plaining his summer pastimes to a
curious visitor. Theio was a bright
ness in his face that is in marked
contrast to his father. He is going
to school in America and probably la
unaware of the stolid resignation of
his ancestors.

Polo Grounds. New York. Oct. 15.—
Long Bob Meusel knocked the Cham
plonship of the baseball world from
Harlem over into the Bronx this
afternoon.
The big pennant that has fluttered
so proudly for two years on the tall
staff at the foot of Coogan's Bluuffs
will next year kiss the breezes over
the gray and green walls of the
Yankee stadium just across the river.
The world's series of 1923 Is all
over, the Yankees, of the American
league, taking the sixth game by a
score of 6 to 4. at the Polo Grounds,
home of their National league rivals.
It is the first time since the Amer
ican league came to New York 20
years ago that Its club has won the
big tilt, and the proudest, man leaving
the field this afternoon, with an eager
crowd swirling about him, was Col.
Jacob Ruppert, owner of the Yankees.
Bob Meusel Is Hero.
He was proud of himself, he was
proud of his manager, the diminutive
Miller Huggins, who had long since
sneaked from the scene by way of
the tunnel from the players’ bench
under the stand. He was proud of his
ball players. He was most especially
proud of Long Bob Meusel, who
knocked the championship across the
river.
Col. Jacob Ruppert considers that
a much more important feat than
George Washington's throwing of a
silver dollar across the Delaware
even though tlfc Delaware ’ Is wider
than the Harlem.
Long Bob Meusel Is the taller of
