of ( lie WouiulH.
The preliminary hearing of Joseph
Hcott , of York , charged with having
assaulted Olllo Caglo of Pierce with
Intent to do great bodily harm on the
last night of the Htalo firemen's tour-
nnnvnt In thin city , resulted In the
binding over of Scott to the next term
of the district court to nnnwor to the
charge. Tlin amount of ball wnn fixed
ut 1800 , which was put up by the Norfolk -
folk national bank.
The hearing WIIH hold before Justice
of the Peace H. W. Hayes and the ro-
milt wan attained after the hearing of
a number of witnesses , on behijlf of
the state and for the defense.
Olllo Caglo appeared In behalf of
the prosecution. Ho IH still HUfferlng
from the wounds ho received on that
occasion , but was able to attend the
trial and testify In behalf of the prose
cution. Ho positively Idontllled Scott
IIH the man who struck him and
though ho WIIH rendered unconscious
IIH the result of the blow , Scott's
face WIIH Indelibly fixed In his memory
IIH the man who made the trouble.
Dr. J. H. Mackay was called to a'lve
testimony IIH to the nature of the
wound. Ho said that ho had been
mimmonod to the Leonard drug store
to glvo medical attention to the
wounded man and found that while
the scalp had not boon cut there was
n wound , produced evidently by a
blunt Instrument , Ho didn't consider
It hardly probable that the wound
could bo made with the Hut , but was
more after the nature' of a hurt made
by a slung shot.
Dr. Hoar , who was summoned later
to treat the Injured Cagle , practically
siiHtalnod the testimony of Dr. Mac
kay regarding the nature of the
wound ,
Walter llrown who was with the
Caglo party on the night of the as
sault , also Idontllled Scott as the man
who had landed the crushing blow on
Ciiglo'H head. Ho tmld that ho saw
Scott strike , and saw Caglo fall. Ho
nalil that Scott was walking In front
of Caglo.
Mike IConnody was sworn and start
ed to toll that Scott was the man ho
had soon throwing his lists around
generally that night , but objection
was mitilo to the testimony and It was
ruled out.
Leo Carey , captain of the York run
ning louiii , was placed on the stand.
Ho said ho was with Scott that even
ing and that they had been drinking
Home. Ho saw Scott strike Caglo , but
claimed that Scott's blow was deliv
ered from the sldo , whllo the blow
that did the damage came from be
hind , where n Stanton man was walk-
Ing. Caglo foil heavily after receiv
ing the blow. Ho couldn't say posi
tively that the Stanton man struck
a blow.
Attorney Franco of York , made nn
argument and offered the motion that
the case be dismissed as there was In-
sutllclcnt evidence to provo that Scott
had Intended to do great bodily harm
when the blow was struck.
County Attorney Mapcs presented
his argument In behalf of the state.
Ho said that the court was supposed
to determine whether or not the blow
had been struck and that the matter
of Intent to do great bodily harm was
not before the lower court.
At the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Hayes announced that Scott
should be hold to the district court
to answer the charge and placed the
bond for bis appearance at $800 , which
was promptly furnished by the Nor
folk National bank , and Scott will bo
given his liberty until the meeting of
the term of court.

Convinced That There In a Field
for Development Here.
James Wolfklol of The News office
tins | l recently received a letter from
an old Colorado friend making Inqui
ries concerning the prospect for oil
In Nebraska , and Is Interested In as
certaining the stage of development
prospecting has reached in this sec
tion of the state , or If anything has
boon attempted In that direction. To
quota the letter :
"Some oil men from the Florence ,
Col. , oil fields have boon prospecting
Nebraska for oil and although their
movements have boon very qulot wo
have learned that they have found
outcropplngs and very strong Indica
tions of oil somewhere In your part
of Nebraska , and wo have reason to
bollovo It Is In Madison county Wo
would esteem it a favor If you would
lot us know If those mon have been
In that vicinity and If there are out-
cropplngs In that county. If any ex
tensive prospecting ban been done
tliore you would probably know of
It. I am Interested In oil , you know ,
and Information of this kind might bo
of value to mo. "
Mr. Wolfklol says of his friend that
ho Is a man of energy and ability , with
unlimited capital at his command , and
If there are oil prospects In this vlclnl-
ty worth developing ho will unques
tionably take hold of the matter and
bring results.
If there has been prospecting In this
county It has been so qulot that It
1ms not come to the attention of the
public or The News , but that there
are surface Indications of oil has been
established to the satisfaction of lo
cal people with an Inclination toward
llnillng out those things. Dr. J. H.
Mackay has made something of a
study of the geological conditions of
this section and has published what
ho has learned from time to time. He
considers.that everything Is favorable
to the development of a paying oil
Hold In this locality Ho says that a
short drive into the country will
bring him to a place where there Is
crude petroleum on the surface and
there Is undoubtedly more where that
has Its source and all that Is needed
Is to tap the ground to bring It out
In paying quantities.
Norfolk Is In about the same geological
logical formation as Columbus and
there Guy C. Chllvers is digging down
on the farm of Douglas Klaus , south
of the Platte river , for the oil that
they have the same reasons to believe
Is tliore , that the surface Indications
show In this vicinity , and It Is Just
possible that the indications of oil In
this vicinity are more pronounced
than there , where experienced oil men
have considered It worth while to
carry on a thorough Investigation.
If there Is one thing lacking more
than another to thoroughly develop
this country It Is the absence of cheap
fuel , and If Investigation should re-
Milt In the development of a paying
oil Held or n bed of coal , nothing could
prevent northeastern Nebraska from
forging ahead Into one of the best
localities of these United States.
There are a number of Norfolk people
ple who would welcome an Investiga
tion by this gentleman or someone
equally conversant with the oil busi
ness and the faculty of learning just
where paying llelds are located.
MAN HELD UP IN THE FOGGY NIGHT
Two Vlllnlnx With n Flnxh Light nud
n fiun Keep n Mnn Under Sur
veillance for Half nn Hour.
Under the obscurity of the fog a
man was held up In Norfolk last night
about midnight. Who the man was
has not been learned , but the story Is
said to be authentic. The man was
walking along the tracks In the Union
Pa c I He yards , when a small electric
search light was Hashed In Ills face
and ha confronted a pair of threaten
ing revolvers held by two sturdy vil
lains. They kept him covered for a
time and then permitted him to go but
followed and again held him up but did
not make their intention known. He
was kept under surveillance about half
an hour and finally made his escape
to Main street , under the lights where
the hold-up men refused to follow.
"What do you want of me ? " In
quired the man held up , when first
confronted by the men with the guns.
"He isn't the one we want , , " said
one of the fellows after a careful
scrutiny. "L iteghom. " BTAQII JJthe
scrutiny. "Let him go. "
Nevertheless they kept watch of
him for some time.

hy Tree for llrenlh.
Alfred Sorensen In hlH "Sorenson'B
Scintillations , " published In the
Omaha ' Kxamlner , tells the following
story of the way corn grows near
Norfolk :
"I have always maintained that Ne
braska IH a prolific producer of corn ,
hogs , cattle and statesmen , and this
story , told me by Julo Lumbard , sup
ports my assertion as to corn. 'I was
at Norfolk one summer day , some
years ago , ' said Mr. Lumbard , ' and
hired a liveryman to drive me out
Into the country a abort distance on
some business. As wo drove along the
magnificent corn Holds , I observed
that the corn never looked better. 'Yes ,
that may seem the case to you , ' said
the liveryman , 'but last year was the
banner your for corn. I had a Held
of 250 acres. From' each hill there
grow up live Immense stalks , and on
each stalk there wore nvo ears of as
line corn as you over saw. And that's
not all. Half way down each stalk
there was a leafy sack containing a
quart of shelled ' ' '
corn. 'My friend ,
sold I , 'drive under the shade of that
tree for a few minutes , as there's too.
much hot air out here In the road. ' "
Every word of the foregoing corn
story Is vouched for as true by the
old Inhabitant. Ho knows the truth
ful Lumbard , Is acquainted with the
liveryman who drove him out In the
country , and Is familiar with the
Identical tree under which they rest
ed while Lumbard recovered. Bigger
corn stories than that might bo told of
the crop that Is annually raised in
north Nebraska , but Sorensoit
wouldn't print 'em he's tdo darned
honest.
