i + , " i ' : , '
i , - There.has . come to our ears . some
* ; /
i ( complaint ! ; ; . . " regarding the city water
supply. Lasts week the water
, tank was empty . from early ' in the
"
evening until late . at night and the
( r - v
i lawns . . were , , * in need of water. We
'
. r
v
> '
H II , do ; ; not knW ' who * was to blame ,
but , the water needed for fire pro-
pro-
tectfoa.was.not. . _ available , yet we
t understand , that water is being
I
furnished the railroad company
I contractors and . that pipes are laid
connecting with the water main
. . . . . .
at the corner of Main and Railroad
streets and lead out to the railroad ,
1 ! work. '
work.We
: ; We have heard no reason , nor
! did we think it necessary to ask
, ! . for any explanation , until our city
i : ran short of water ; and 'learned
that the city reservoir was empty
s arid ' that there would be no , water
until about midnight.
We like the friendly spirit of
{
" assisting the railroad contractors
i
, and furnishing water for them or
! TI the railroad company when we
j4 can do so , and believe that har-
+ monious action upon the part of
our citizens , and city toward our
guests is commendable , but we
1 - can't give to them what we re-
fuse to the citizens of our town
i who are paying the bills for this
water supply. We cannot afford
to go without fire protection or
water for ourselves to supply oth-
ers wlio'pay no " taxes ' in our city.
There is a limit to courtesies that
t '
might ; . . extended and we hope
that our. city officials will see , that
our citizens are not - neglected - .
. while taking , care of the .wants . x of
others. '

I Apprehended After Twen =
ty = Five Years. ,
Prosper Marion , or "Frencby"
as he was called here , has been
located in the state of Washington.
- '
He is wanted here for the murder
of a Mr. Murphy 25 -years ago.
Frenchy was arrested and tried
for murder at that time. In the
trial by jury eleven men were . for
conviction and one man hung the
jury. A second trial was begun
and while in progress the jail ,
which was a rudely constructed
affair , was broken into and the
prisoner escaped. The murder
was committed near the Niobrara
river , 25 miles southwest of Val-
entine. .
The following account of the
murder is well remembered by
some of our old time citizens :
Frenchy was working on the
Boiling Springs ranch for old Col.
l\'Iabray ' and went down the river
for a load of wood and was met by
Dock Murphy who poked a gun
u p into his face and jammed it
against his hips and told him to
keep away from his timber. Dock
Murphy had just recently filed on
the land from where the timber
was taken and he wanted to save
, the timber no doubt. Frenchy
was , unarmed but soon proceeded
to arm himself and went to No.
29 , then a railroad camp about a
mile east of Nenzel located near a
small lake where Murphy and his
wife were running the eating
house for the , r ailroaders. Frenchy
entered the little shack where
Murphy was and said , "you had
the drop on me down on the river
but I've got the ! drop on you now
and I'm going to kill you , " and
shop Murphy"while the latter was
pleading for his life. John Mur-
-
phy , a nephew , attempted to pull
his gun but Frenchy shot two of
his finders off and the boy begged
for' his life and Frenchy rode
f
away.
A preliminary trial was held be-
-
fore John Little , who was then
county judge. N. D. Jackson of
Neligh was district prosecuting at .
torney. Murder in the first - - , --de--
gree wasthe supposition upon
wnich Marion was bound over
to the district court. Little tl en
proceeded to fix Frencby's bond ,
when Attorney Jackson remon-
strated , stating that murder in the
first degree was not bailable ,
whereupon Little said he would
change his ruling and make it
manslaughter so that he could fix
Frenchy's bond.
In due time Frenchy appeared
and released his bondsmen and
went to jail , but John Keys and
Mort Everly broke open the jail
and released him. They placed
him upon a big grey horse , gave
him a Winchester and two six
shooters and told him to "git" and
he "got. " * Frenchy stayed the
first nigiii-at ) John Shore's ranch
and was never heard from that
was re'ported to the authorities
until yesterday when he was lo -
cated in Washington by Sheriff
J Rosseter. '
[ The only witness to the , shoot
I ing was John Murphy , a nepew
i
of the murdered man and he djcd
at Crawford about ten' years , ago
while on a spree in which a friend
thought he ought to sleep and rest
and shot some morphine into him
j which l. resulted in his never awak
