Caught in the Machinery.
Frank W. Baitey an employee
of the Table Rock Clay Co. ,

to lower freight rates by fur
nishing competition to the rail

in our sister city to the east.
A. J. Helmick of Stella was ;
business visitor here yesterday.
Suicide.
Mrs. James GSlmore wile of
I
l.latnesGilmore living north of
ithis city comnnted suicide at
her home Monday. Mrs. Gilmore -
more has been afllicled with ex
treme nervousness for several
years , her trouble being first
loticed following a surgical
operation.
Her absence from home was
noticed Monday afternoon at
live oclock , at which time her
family instituted search for her
.mtil eight o'clock in the eve-
: iing when a general alarm was
.fiven and about sixty of the
leighbors spent the night
searching the fields anil follow-
ng the Muddy river which runs
close by. The body of the un-
'ortunate lady was lound hang
ing in the cellar of his home by
Grant Goolsby the next morn-
ng. The corner was notified
and a jury empanneled which
returned a verdict in accordance
with the above facts. The fun
eral was held from Maple Grove
hurch Wednesday , Rev. Brew
er officiating , interment was
had at Steele cemetery. Mrs.
Gilmore leaves a husband and
child eight years old to whom
the entire community tenders
its sympathy. She was a lady
of refinement and was highly
connected , being the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. David Yoder.
Another Point In Mystery.
Recently we published the
accident which occurred on the
Missouri , which resulted in the
drowning of a Mr. Mason and
the finding of his body in the
river by some workmen in the
rip-rapping gang. Mason and
Fred Kaufman were in the skiff
together and the supposition
was that the last named had
suffered the same fate of the
former. However according tc
the Auburn Herald Fred Kauf.
man was seen in the Union de
pot at Kansas City a week age
last Saturday by Frank Wood
ward and son , Leslie Wood ,
ward. Mr. Woodward convers
ed with the young man for n
few minutes , but the latter de
nied that he was Mr. Kaufmur
saying that he was a miner and
had been working in southerr.
Missouri for many years. A1
this point Mr. Woodward was
called away and on his returr
in a few minutes the man had
gone. He is positive that i1
was Fred Kaufman whom lit
had seen , and was seconded bj
Leslie Woodward who had play
ed ball with Kaufman several
seasons and was well acquaiteel
with the man.
This calls to mind the ques.
tions arising concerning tin
circumstances' surrounding th <
overturned boat and the deatl
of young Mason.
Inmate Killed.
While out walking with r
squad of patients in charge o
at tendants last Friday morn
ing , M. II. McNamara a patien
at the insane hospital at Hast
ings , ran away from the at
tendants and jumping a feno
threw himself on the track ii
front of the Burlington fiyer No
1. He was thrown quite a dis
tance and was dead before the
men reached him. McNamarr
had always been a very quie
patient , giving scarcely an
trouble. He was sent to tbJ !
insane headquarters a numbei
of years ago from this county

tells us that GB. . Harvey i :

tion at San Point , Idaho. Beam

Arrested For Fishing-
John W. Towle and Charles
Ross of the John W. Towle
Bridge company of Omaha , to
gether with ,1. M. FJagler of
Council Bluffs , la. , and George
ID. Cole of Kansas City , Mo. ,
representing two other bridge
companies , while waiting for
the county board to convene
liere , went down to the Bazile
creek , near Center , Nebraska ,
which Hews near the town , with
the intention of catching some
fish. Shortly after they had
cast their lines in the water the
deputy sheriff of the county ,
acting as deputy game and fish
warden , appeared upon the
scene and placed all but Ross
under arrest for fishing without
a license. Ross , who has been
liere very frequently , was ac
quainted with the deputy sheriff
and when he saw him approach
ing started to run through the
the thick underbrush which
lines the banks. Towle , Flag-
lerand Cole were brought back
to town and Ross was appre
hended as he came in under
cover of the darkness.
The county board is in session
here now to let the yearly
bridg contracts for this county
and there are about fifteen
representatives of different
bridge companies in attendance.
It is thought by some that the
arrest of Towle and Ross is a
scheme of some of the other
bridge men to have them incar
cerated until after the contracts
are let , as the Towle Bridge
company has always been suc
cessful in securing these con
tracts in the past.
