BOYS KILL FATHER.
A Frightful Orlmo Near the Town of
Humphrey.
Lincoln , Nob. Nov. n. Gerhard Dor-
ohorn , living n few mlloa northeast of
Humphrey , was killed Friday after ,
noon by his 14-yoar-old HOU , Herman ,
who had purchased a shotgun for the
purpose , holding the muzzle of the gnu
close to the back of the unsuspecting
fathor'H head an ho ho sat in the house
and firing the fatal shot. Whoii with
the nHHtstnnco of his brothers , August
10 years old , nnd John 8 , n tonm was
hitched to the body and it was drugged
to n straw stack in n Hold near by ,
covered with straw as completely as
possible and the stack sot on flro.
Such is the information obtained this
morning by ShorilT Boyrnos from the
lips of the three children , who nro now
separately in custody , nud who agree in
nearly nil the details of the plot nud its
execution , differing , however , iu the
amount of responsibility placed on
Herman , who implicates the ether boys
iu nearly equal measure with himself ,
while they place the blame almost en
tirely upon him.
They , too , nay that Herman took the
money with which to purchase the gun
from the father's pocket , while ho
claims that his father gnvo him $10
with which to buy a gun , nud , that his
father know ho bought it.
The motive they glvo for the crime
is that the father , with whom they have
lived since the mother's death last
spring , did not treat them kindly , and
they decided to put him out of the wny.
So far ns at present learned the neigh
bors do not know of any mistreatment
of the children by the father.

At this feast 1,200 different dishes
were served , nnd 300 sugar cfilglcs
were distributed among the ladles.

From Tuesday's Dnlljr ,
Mrs. Andrew Miller , living flvo miles

E. & M. V. about two miles this nido of
Hndar nt 11 o'clock this morning. She
sustained a broken arm , nud further ex
amination may disclose .other Injuries ,
but this is all so far ns is known.
The woman was first soon botwoou
ho fence nud the track , walking toward
ho morning freight going north.
When the train approached closer she
walked over upon the trnok nnd finally
when the ougino was within six
or eight rods of her she sat down
upon the oud of n tio. The engineer
at once sounded the alarm , reversed
its ougino and applied the air brakes ,
> nt the train could not bo stopped
u time to prevent striking her.
She wan thrown about 1C foot into
ho ditch.

ng else to do , Mr. lloyuolds plncod her

The woman gave her ago as 58 years
and said she has a sou living at or near

iboratoly to the center of the track and
; hou sat down on n tie whore she know
that the train must strike her.

HEAVY FALLING OFF IN VOTE.
Republican Candidate Makes Avcrngo
Gain of Three Moro to Proclnct
Than Dietrich , and Chairman Lind
say Claims His Election.
That Mickey IB elected governor of
Nebraska there now Booms no longer
ny reason to doubt. The early returns
were unfavorable to him , the figures
> oing largely obtained from the cities ,
nt during the day the country pro-
innts nro coming to his rescue. At 8
'clock this afternoon Chairman Lind-
ay of the state committee nt Lincoln
ssuod the statement that Mickey is
afoly elected by fully 8,000 plurality.
Early Returns.
Lincoln , Nov. G. Nebraska has
probably gone Republican , but by BO
narrow a margin on the head of the
ickot that an unusual slump in any
great number of precincts will give
ho governorship to the fuslonlsts ,
dickey ( Rop. ) has run slightly bo-
ilud his ticket , and Thompson ( fu. )
has run ahead , Indicating the success
of the rest of the Republican state
Ickot by probably 10,000. Mickey's
jlurality can hardly exceed 4,000 , and
he result must remain in doubt for
possibly 24 hours.
The Republicans elected Burkott to
congress In the First district , Hlnshaw
n the Fourth and probably Klnkald in
ho Sixth. The fusionists elected
Iltchcoch in the Second , Robinson In
he Third and probably Shellenberger
u the Fifth , a Republican gain of ono
or the state.
At 2 o'clock returns were still de
cidedly incomplete , but represented
practically all portions of the state ,
aud can reasonably bo taken to repre
sent the trend of the voting. They
show a net gain of practically five to
the precinct for Mr. Mickey over the
majority given for Dietrich in these
same precincts two years ago. If this
ratio of gain continues throughout Mr.
Mickey will coino to Douglas county
with a plurality of about 4,600.
Chairman Charles B. Scott of the
Democratic state committee said :
'Eighty-two precincts outside of Doug-
as county show a net Democratic
gain of three to the precinct over the
vote of 1900. Estimating that Douglas
county will glvo Thompson 1,800 ma-
[ orlty and that that rate of gain con-
: lnues , Thompson will be elected by
from 6,000 to 10,000 Hitchcock is
safely 1,500 to the good , and Robin
son will bo elected congressman from
the Third district by a much larger
majority than heretofore.
The vote , as anticipated , shows a
falling oft of about 12A per cent from
that of two years ago
HOW NEWS WAS RECEIVED.
Crowds at Auditorium and Congres
sional Headquarters.
There was no wild demonstration in
Norfolk last night over the returns from
the election , neither party being ap-
parautly satisfied with the results ns
shown. After the returns commenced
to come in there wns some betting done
but no largo sums were staked ou the
results.
During the entertainment nt the
Auditorium , through the courtesy of
Manager Spear , bulletins were read
between acts , but the significance of
the bulletins was not fully understood
by all present and there were but fnint
demonstrations. The bulletins were
received from the telephone office and
were rend from the stage by U. H.
Tat man.
At republican congressional head
quarters the arrangements for receiving
nnd tabulating the returns were com
plete. Two instruments had been
placed by the telephone , one in the
lobby of the Bishop block and the other
iu the office of Chairman Fales. Secre
tary Koonigstein had prepared broad
sheets of cardboard with blanks for
figures nnd figures from the returns of
previous elections for comparison. As
fast as the returns from a precinct were
received they were tabulated , the
losses and gains noted and the results
estimated. An arrangement of ex
change wns made with the state head
quarters so that the general returns
were also received there , and there were
a largo number present nt the head-
qunrters until Into nt night learning
the results as received.
One or two of the saloons had also ar
ranged to receive returns and there
were a number who learned the Hews
there.
The returns came slowly , especially
from country districts , and some of the
precincts in and near Norfolk were
among the last to report and others did
not get in at all last night.
Some of the returns received were
far from accurate aud changes were
necessary in a number of instances , but
late in the evening enough was known
to give these interested a very good in
sight into the result.
All returns indicate nn exceedingly
light vote even for nu off yonr , both
pnrties losing heavily.
The indication is that republicans have
carried almost everything , but by de
creased majorities and pluralities.
Throughout all the states , whore
they have had a fighting chance , re
publicans have won out very generally
Rome point ! ) allowing republican gains sf " '
for the opposition. This is generally
taken na nu endorsement of the ad- <
miustratiou.
The latest indications from returns la
the Btnto nro that Mickey has boon
elected governor by n majority of 8,000
to 5,000.
It is considered that McCarthy has
boou elected to congress from this dis
trict over Robinson by a majority of at
least 500.
Aldou for state senator is elected , nnd
his majority over Koonigstola will bo
about 600.
In the conuty Mapos is elected at
torney by the hnndaouiost majority
given any candidate. Mommingor
appears to be the consolation prize for
the fusiouists , being elected representa
tive over Putney by n small majority.
The republicans re-elected Commis
sioner Sohinltt from the First district
by n fair majority.
The republican candidates for precinct " >
officers were elected , with the possible
exception of road overseers , returns on
which have not boou obtained.
