The U. S. weather bureau re
port for the week ending Apr. 20 ,
shows that the highest tempearture
was 67 ° on the 26th and the low
est 22 ° on the 21st , giving a mean
of 40 ° . The departure from the
normal was 4 ° below. The pre
cipitation was .7tt of an inch , an
excess of .Oi above the normal.
For the month to date it was 2.69
inches , for the season , March 1 , to
date , 3.87 inches. The winds have
been generally below the average ,
the highest velocity occurring on
the 20th , being 39 miles per hour

excellent to date.
Fred M. Hans , charged with the
murder of David Luse in Brown
county some time ago , appealed
and at a preliminary hearing he
was held without bail to answer
the charge of murder in the first
degree on the 8th day of May at
Ainsworth. Co. Atty. Ely , of
Brown Co. ; C. E. Lear , of Spring-
view , and M. F. Harrington , of
O'Neill , will appear for the state.
The defense has secured the ser
vices of W. F. Gurley , of Omaha ;
L. T. Genung , of Glen wood , la. ;
F. G. Hamer , of Kearney and A.
W. Scattergood , of Ainsworth.
The case will be watched with con
siderable interest as it involves the
question of human liberty and
whether or not a so-called railroad
detective and spotter can by his
own request assume the duties of
deputy sheriff for the purpose of
arresting an objectionable person
and kill without allowing any wit
ness to the transaction , under the
guise of self defense. A strong ef
fort is being made to acquit Hans
of the crime charged.
The U. S. weather bulletin for
Nebr. , issued April 25th , shows
the past week has been cold , the
mean daily temperature averaging
4 ° below the normal. Frost oc
curred on several days with the
minimum temperature between
20 ° and 25 ° in western counties
and between 30 ° and 35 ° in east
ern counties. The rainfall was
above the normal in nearly all
parts of the state. It exceeded in
central counties and decreased to
about i inch in the counties along
both the northern and southern
borders of the state. The low
temperature of the past week has
been unfavorable for the growth
of vegetation. Winter wheat con
tinues in excellent condition. Oats
were frozen to the ground in some
western counties. Generally , how
ever , oats and spring wheat arc up
nicely and the damage from low
temperature is slight. Grass has
grown very slowly. Plowing for
corn has progressed nicely but it
has been too cold for planting.
The frost injured plums and other
early fruit somewhat.
