buy to better advantage from a large
city stock or from the factory where it
is made. If so , and yon will take a trip

Washington , Philadelphia , New York
and Boston , getting the prices on the

selection and after becoming satisfied
that you have been offered the best
s bargain that can be obtained there , the
same prices that they sell to all , yon
will then present my order and letter of
introduction , put your mark of identifi
cation on the piano. The same piano
will bo shipped to mo , and on delivery
of the same in your house , perfect in
every respect , you can pay me for it
according to the terms agreed upon at
the time of the purchase and I will then
hand you a check sufficient to cover the
entire expense of the trip , including
dining and sleeping cars and two days
hotel bills in each of the above cities.
If you doubt my ability to do this ,
give me the opportunity.

George D. Smith brought in some
samples of corn from his fields north
west of the city this morning which are
on display in front of the Spauldiug
flour and feed store. The ears are inon-
strons.well filled and so completely ma
tured that the grain is beyond danger
of damage by frost. Mr. Smith says
that they are a f air sample of the corn
grown by him and he has no fear
of frost as far as his crop is con
cerned.
The party of F. E. & M. V. railway
officials , consisting of General Manager
Guo. F. Bidwell , General Superintendent
C. 0. Hughes , and the now chief engi
neer of the road , Augustus A. Schenck ,
returned at nocn today from the west
and left for a trip over the Creighton
branch and extension to Lynch , to
which place they were accompanied by
Superintendent 0. H. Reynolds. The
party is making an inspection tour of all
the lines of railway of the F. E. & M. V.
company.
It was no mere frost , it was a freeze ,
that descended upon this section of
country last night , hitting crops , ( lowers
and verdure in general a solar plexus
blow. Ice to the thickness of half an
inch was frozen and it may be imagined
that nothing but very hardy vegetation
would withstand the first definite assault
of the frost king. Vines of all kinds
are , as the saying is"cooked" and there
will bo no recovery. Cabbage , corn and
other vigorous growths may be able to
throw off the blighting effects of the
freeze , but even they will be damaged
and development interfered with. Much
of the corn was so far advanced that it
was beyond injury but some of the later
plantings were yet in the milk and will
be soft and of little value. If it could
have been delayed two weeks little dam
age would have resulted , but as it
is the loss to farmers and gardeners will
be large. The bountiful promise of
fruit will likewise be a disappointment
as much of it is undoubtedly injured be
yond recovery , the freeze having af
fected the foliage of shade trees to the extent -
tent that the leaves have been falling to
the ground today. The weather bureau
promises another frost for tonight that
will probably complete the work of de
struction if anything escaped last night.

Gottlieb Ncigcnfmd Kills Wife
and Fathcr-in-Law.
THE SLAYER IS YET AT LARGE.
Mothcr-ln-Lnw Wounded in the Shoul
der The Dead nro Anna Nolgenfmd
and Albert Brcyer Wounded , Mrs.
Breyor Twelve Effective Shots.
As the result of atorriblo double mur
der committed by Gottlieb Nolgonflnd
lost night at (1 : ! ! 0 o'clock , Anna Neigen-
find , his wife , and Albert Uroyoi , his-
futhor-in.law , Ho riddled with bullets at
their home 11 miles north of Norfolk , on
First street , and six miles east of Pierce.
Mrs. Albert Brcyer , the murdered man's
wife , has a bullet hole through her left
shoulder. The murderer ohcaped and
Is still at largo.
After Miooting three members of th °
family with 12 bullets , the murderer
toro the clothing from n younger sister-
in-law , with his revolver leveled at her
head , made a criminal attempt upon her ,
decided not to kill her and disappeared
with a villainous laugh down the North-
fork creek. A posse of men started im
mediately in search of Noigenflnd and
blood hounds arrived at noon from Lin
coln to assist in the capture.
The crime seems to bo the result of
an old grudge which the murderer
bore against the family. Ho has not
been seen for over a year until yester
day morning , when ho cauio to the
house and asked to see his 5-months'
old child , which had been born to his
wife since ho loft the country. This
was refused him and ho went awnv
with wicked oaths , to return at sun
down to kill.
Breyer was at the barn door when
Noigoufiiid came up and began to shoot.
His wife was standing near. Three
hissing balls of load sank into the
victim's body , two of them just below
the heart. Ono also cut a hole in the
shoulder of the woman. Then with a
pitch fork , Broyer knocked the spitting
weapon from its fiendish grasp , and
started toward the house. Instantly tie
gun was picked up , reloaded and fired
again for five moro effective wounds.
Broyer walked into the house and
lived until (5 ( :30 : this morning.
One bullet from tl)0 ) deadly shoot
ing iron pierced the handle of the
pitch fork which the slain man held at
the time he was attacked. This was
taken by the sheriff to bo used as evi
dence.
At the disturbance , Anna Neigonfind
ran out into the yard. At the corner of
the barn her blood-thirsty husband met
her and killed her instantly with three
shots , one of which entered the temple
above the right eye , one passed through
the body below the right breast and
came out at the back , and the third
took effect in the left thigh.
His deed accomplished , Neigenfind
turned toward the creek and started
away , when he met a younger girl of
the family , returning from the neigh
bors , where she had gone for aid. In
stantly he pointed the gun at her head ,
toro her clothing from her and brutally
assaulted her. "Well I guess I'll let
yon go , " he said , and with a hideous
chuckle , disappeared into the thicket.
Neigenfind is 29 years old , tall and
well built , measuring about 5 feet , 10
inches , weight 180 pounds. He has
dark hair and a sandy moustache. His
eyes are dark , his cheek bones high and
his chin square. He wore a pair of
striped overalls , a dark coat with a
striped lining , and a light colored slouch
hat.
hat.Sheriff
Sheriff B. M. Jones , acting coroner
of Pierce county , held an inquest this
morning and decided that Anna Neigen
find and Albert Breyer came to their
death oa the effect of revolver shot
wounds'.inflicted by one Gottlieb Neigen
find with deliberate , premeditated and
felonious intention to kill. "No reward
has yet been offered , said the sheriff tea
a NEWS reporter at the homo of the mur
dered man this morning , " but one will
unquestionably bo hungup. " There
may also bo a state reward.
Neigenfind and Anna Breyor were
married in April , 1901. Little things
developed dislike between Broyer and
his son-in-law. Finally Neigenfind de
termined to quit the country. His wife
was willing to go , but her father told
her not to. "If you go with that man , "
ho said , "yon need never como here
again. " From this vicious devil , Broyer
was finally able to keep his daughter ,
and last spring she got a divorce. Ho
left the country in July a wearing venge
ance , even then threatening to kill
one of the sons. Five months ago a
baby boy was born to his wife. This
child.it was whom he carao yesterday to
see. After some ugly words to his
mother-in-law , he went away. Several
who saw him along the rood yesterday
afternoon , noted a fiendish look upon
his face , a uly way as he walked and an
occasional shrug of the shoulders.
A great crowd of neighbors and
friends gathered at the Breyer form
this morning , excited by the tragic
news and declaring for treatment none
too kind for the culprit when captured.
Albert Breyer was a German farmer
who had lived in peace and good will
among his neighbors in Pierce county
for the past 81 years. "He didn't hayo
an enemy on earth , except this man , "
mild ouo of the farmvrs of that Roolltm
thin morning. Ho WIIH kind henrtod
and honest and a good clti/.en , withal.
He had a family of MX children , one of
whom KOCH \\ith him to untimely
gravo. Ho received seven bullotn , in
all. One 8truck mmr the center of his
brad , ono lodged in the right fore urmj
two tintcrrd an inch apart , just below
the loft nipplu , near the heait , ono
struck the loll elbow , ono in the flesh
behind the loft shoulder nnd one in the
flank above the Itidnoy. A physician
from Pierce WIVH summoned and
early this morning Ur. P. 11. Hal
ter WIIH called by telephone , in the
hope that something might bo dono.
Hut the wounded man died nt < ! : ' . ! ( ) , 12
hours after ho had been shot. Hither of
the bullet H below the heart or the 0110
above the kldiioy.would hiivobcen fatal.
Hoforo his death llroyor was perfectly
conscious , and talked freely. He signed
his name to u will. The murdered
womanwas III ) yearn old.
Five empty 22-dilihrn shells wore
found near the barn this morning ,
whore the revolver hud boon deliberately
reloaded for more of its bloody work.
Neigenllnd's vicious i-lmraoter in not
altogether a surprise. Thirst for 1m-
iniui blood seeniH to run in the family ,
as his father , only a few years ago , mur
derously shot a man in Wuyno county
over a dispute for MU-ontrt. Ills bullet ,
however , did not prove fatal.

The idyl of the Arkansas hills , "Hu
man Hearts , " rep.leto with interest ,
mirth and pathos , will bo presented at
the Auditorium on Friday , September

country folks , who engage the attention
by their homely ways and simple nature.
The people of this town and vicinity
will have the opportunity next Friday
night to laugh away their cares and
sympathize with sorrow , if they go to
see the very successful play "Human
Hearts" nt the Auditorium. No one
will regret the time spent in witnessing
this enaction of the lives of simple folks
who have witnessed the greatest of
sorrows , separation and injustice ; and
all will not only bo chastened by pity
for the alllicted , but will bo refreshed
by laughter in plenty , for which the
playwright has skillfully planned.

Gives up Position of Chief Dispatcher
for Other Duties.
H. L , Snyder , chief train dispatcher
of tlio Eastern diviHlon , F. H. tV M. V ,
has resigned lilw position to devote his
tiiuo to the interests of the Norfolk
Light and Fuel company , of which ho is
secretary and manager. E. 0. Mount
who was in line for the place will bo ad
vanced to the position of chief dispatcher
Hindu vacant by Mr. Snydvr'n rcsigna-
tion.
tion.Tho
The resignation of Mr. Snyder comes
as ik mirpriRO to many of his friends who
had not known that such a move was
contemplated by him. It will bo re
ceived with regret by the railroad men
with whom ho has boon intimately as
sociated for thn pust I It years in hiii pres
ent capacity , but it will not be n disap
pointment to his up-towii friends who
reali'/.o that in his new vocation lie will
be more closely indentilied with the
city and its interests than over before.
Mr. Snydor's connection with the F
E. & M. V. company as train dispatcher
dates from 18)7 ! ) , when he held such a
position at Missouri Valley , Iowa. He
was advanced to the position of chiol
dispatcher of this division in 1S8II , when
ho moved to Norfolk , from which time
he has in ado this city his home. Since
coming hero ho has acquired various
interests in the city , his most recent
being n bharo of the stock of the now
gas company , the recent election plac
ing him in the position of secretary and
manager. His resignation as dispatcher
ia to take effect from Sunday night
ntid ho will at once enter upon the
duties devolving upon him by reason of
his connection with the gas company.
Mr. Mount , who advances to the posi
tion of chief dispatcher , is qualified for
the place by years of service as one ol
the dispatchers under Mr. Snyder , and
it ia considered that the change will
have no other effect as far as the service
is concerned than that of placing a now
name on the train orders.
