O'Neill. Neb , May 31 , 1 p. m. Spe cial to The News : Shortly after the announcement was received this morning that little Maud Stortz was dead , the sheriff of Holt county , fear ing for the safety of his prisoner , quietly took him away from the Holt county jail and his wheieabouts are now unknown. The officer knew that the fellow deserved the severest kind of treatment at the hands of n mob and rather than take the chance of being overpowered tonight , removed him from the jail and took him out of town , without notifying anyone of his destination. CLAM SHELLS CAN BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE. H. LODER DEVELOPS THE IDEA. Has Thirty-one Clear , White Buttons , no Round as Round Could be , to Show for the Happy Thought. Chance to Start a New Industry. Why not alnrt n button factory In northern Nebraska ?

The thirty-one bullona which Mr. Lodcr has cauaed to bo manufactured are mounted on n card like any other factory bultona and you wouldn't now , If you won !

There are hundrcdn and thousands f clam sheila In Iho lltllo lakoa around lorlhcrn Nobrnaka , The fact that hoao buttons can bo put Into prac- Ical uao la something of a revelation n Ha way , II looks like a chance for somebody. Mr. Lodor aont the shells lo a but on factory and the thirty ono little lutlona , as good apparently as any luttoua , were nmdo from it. The clams are not good enough to > nt. They have never boon put to my good uao. lly making buttons from thorn , money would bo brought Into the country. Probably not nmny men could work at It and make a living.

DISTRESSING SCENE AT NORTH WESTERN STATION. WORSE THAN MERE MURDER The Remains Were Taken to O'Nell on the Westbound Passenger Train Yesterday Afternoon Men at Sta tion Were Bitter In Feeling. fKrom'pilnp ilnv's Dally.1 It was a distressing scene that was enacted at the South Norfolk railway station yesterday noon when the re mains of little Maudlo Stort/ , the 5- your-old child who died in a Norfolk hoapitnl ns the result of a terrible ills ease which had been indicted npor her by ( ho loathsome Sweet , were placed upon the westbound train fo the homeward rldo. Accompanied by relatives who live In Norfolk nnd to whom she mean much , the funeral train , bearing the murdered body of the tiny , innoccn baby girl whose life had been blotted out by the diabolical nnd beastly brti tnlity of the fiend who lay In jail a O'Neill , carried back to the Holt conn ty homo a party of people who wcr < heart broken , bitterly angered and in tensely worked up. At noon the funeral procession , iiiim boring many cabs , drew through Soutl First street and ended at the railroad -station. It was more than nn ordl nary funeral. It was a procession it which men and women mourned no n natural death but ono of the cruel est , wickedest and most criminal o deaths. Perhaps no more tragic horror hni been committed in northern Nebras kn. Cetraln it Is that this deed rivals any that could bo found in the annals of crime. At the station there was an under tone of threats. There was an nt mosphoro of oaths against the boas In human frame who had already boor arrested at O'Neill. There was n desire sire on the part of every man whc know the awful story , to get at th scoundrel and tear him literally intc shreds. There wns a suggestion tha cutting his llesh into small slices ntul burning him gradually would be none too severe. And that party nccom panylng the remains , loft Norfolk no knowing that the prisoner , because o the anticipation of n lynching , hni boon removed from the iron bars o Holt county and had boon secretly taken nwny. Hut this Is a land of law nnd orde nnd the oillcinls in O'Neill had pre pared for the worst. Believing in nl lowing the statutes to tnko the ! course and thnt the punishment met i'd out to him by the state of Nebraska would be severe enough , the authori ties had scurried their prisoner away no ono knew just where. The Stortz family live on a ranch to the southwest of O'Neill. The mis erable hound , Sweet , was a hand em- plo > ed about the farm. He was brought up for preliminary hearing in O'Neill last week and was bound over in the sum of $1.000. At that time the little girl was in the Norfolk sanitarium , receiving the best of med ical treatment. Day by day she grew weaker and more seriously 111. At length her del icate constitution gave way before the poisonous disease which had gone through her blood and she died. NORTH NEBRASKA AGAIN HON ORED WITH TOURNEY. WILL BE HERE LATE IN JULY The State Board of Control Decided Last Night to Hold the Annual Rac ing Tournament of Nebraska Volun teer Fire Fighters In This City. The annual tournament of the vol iinloer firemen of the state of Nebras ka will bo hold In Norfolk again this year. This was definitely nnd finally decided last night over the telephone wires between this city nnd Kearney , when the local lire laddies called up Chairman MoKoo , of the board of con trol , and notified him that Norfolk had raised the money. The dale of the tourney has not yet been definitely settled , but It will como along In the latter p.'tvl < tf Inly. This will bo determined within n day or two. For the prusont , the Norfolk dcpattmcnl Is fooling pretty good over the fact that the raelj.'g will como to north Nebraska. Hastings Wanted it. Hastings wanted the tournament his year. The boys out there havo' ' icon scampering around lo boat the cars during the past few days , trying 0 raise enough rocks to cooper the event. Word cnmo from the board ' if control that If Norfolk Intended to ; et busy , she'd have to hurry. The ocal committee , which as boon ener getically and persistently working for 1 number of days , wns about all In inywny and just finished up around the edges yesterday afternoon to make the thing a sure go. Then they got together , counted up thblr cash , do elded ' they'd run chances on getting enough to fill out the amount and called up Kearney. "Hollo , Kearney , " said the depart ment hero. "Hollo , Norfolk , " was the answer. "Norfolk wants the firemen's tour ney , " said the local lighters of llnmo , "What have you got to offer ? " asked the chairman nt the other end of the wire. ! "We've got enough , " said Norfolk "Tho tournament is yours , " said Mr. McKee , and thnt settles it for fair. Nebraska City Wanted It. Nebraska City also wanted the throe diys : of racing. They had made nn effort to persuade the board o control that It ought to como there , but the board of control thought Ne bra"Un City waa too far out in the country to be easily reached nnd rather or have Norfolk , anyway. "You see we had such a bully good time up there last season , " said one of them , "that wo want to como bad' ' if we possibly can. That tournament last year was the best that the volunteer toor firemen of Nebraska over pot sossed. It was a corker , you know Every prize was paid in cash on the same night aa the races and that was not bad , cither. The track wns good and speedy records were made. " Thank Enterprising Citizens. The llreman say that It is Norfoll ; enterprise that brought the tournn tiiont. The business men have re sponded liberally to the requests o : the soliciting committee. The com mil tee started out with the under standing that $1,500 must bo sub scribed and they raised within loss than $100 of that amount. As the time wns up that they were allowed they concluded to take chances or raising the remainder. At ono time when the committee was about to give up , several business men cnmo for ward nnd doubled their subscriptions and the firemen fool very grateful to the citizens who have stood behind them In their efforts to secure the vent. Stanton Champions Helped. The Stnnton champions helped Nor folk to get the tournament this year , Norfolk feels grateful to thorn for their efforts. It wns Al Marks nnn his bunch of fleet-footed stoppers tha swung the thing up hero Into the gate way to the now northwest. They worked for the location hero. They might have worked ngninst Norfolk being a sister town. Sisters generally don't get along well but Stnnton is there with the right typo of gonda. When there Is anything doing for Norfolk , Stanton comes in with a full quota and the question carries by a largo majority. Last year Stnnton cauio up here and took the prize of the whole affair - the best banner in the bunch , all because her team ran so fast thpt York and Seward couldn't keep up They were burled In the dust. Al Marks made his record coupling event and they went home about the proud est crowd of boys that had ever drawn a cart. Bob Appleby got up on top of a don key after that event and made a ' speech which resounded in its mirth from one end of Norfolk avenue to the other. And they say Stanton Is coming back again this year. Madison Also Aided. The spirit of the fire lads at Madl son also aided materially in securing the tourney twice in succession for northern Nebraska and for their own county. The Madlcon department came up hero last year with ono nf the prettiest sets of uniform that had ever marched in a parade and they had n right to expect Hint prize for the largest number of inon In HltO , They had spent n gront dcnl of iiionoy securing their now uniforms. Pierce Will Come. Pierce llremen and I'lorco pcoplo will como again for the tourney. They were hero laat year and they unld they'd como again. They , too , feel that they own n sliaro of the honor thnt goes with this locating the races In northern Nebraska for the second time within a pair of twelvemonths. Hosklns Is another neighbor thnt Is Interested. Hosklns wns the biggest surprise of all. That llttlo town , with n few hundred people , cnmc over to the tournament with as foxy n flro engine as can bo found in Nebraska , nnd they had uniforms to match. More This Year. There will be more teams In the events this year thnn there were Inst and there were more Inst year than there had over boon before. It hns / 4J been suggested thnt Crclghton , Plain * \ il view , Nlobrara , Lynch , Spencer , Hutlo , " S'ellgh , OjJJelll , Hassctt and Hum- ihroy wjli'come from the now north- , v st. Tnon there will bo West Point , which ought to get Into the game , Wayne and n number of others. Be 10,000 Here. For three days there will bo 10,000 visitors In Norfolk. That Is what the Ilroboys estimate and from the mam moth mobs that crowded the streets last year , the figures arc not so badly off. People como from all over the state of Nebraska to the tourney. And there will bo more than that from the northern part. It will rival the St. Louis exposition in Interest during those few days , and It promises to draw from about as many sections of Nebraska. Meeting Tonight. A meeting of firemen and citizens will bo held at the city hall this even ing to hoar the report of the commit tee and make arrangements for the tournament. It Is probable that the dates of the mooting will bo July 20 , 27 and 28 , which gives but two months In which to got ready. At the meet ing tonight committees of arrange ments will bo selected and the ma chinery of the event promptly set In motion. The firemen especially re quest thnt citizens attend the meet ing tonight.
