WILLIAM BOCHE DIED WITHOUT
TELLING WIFE.
WHERE SHE COULD FIND MONEY
Although Some of His Relatives Can
not Believe That He Would Carry
His Secret to the Grave , Search Thus
Far Has Failed to Locate Money.
Although hla relatives can not bo-
llovo but that ho rovenlt'il bin secret to
sonuiierson , the fact remains thnt
William Bocho , who was burled Tuesday -
day afternoon , died without telling to
bis wife or to any other person thus
far discovered by her where she
could unearth n mini of money which
ho had kept lu hiding for some time ,
ll Is said by relatives that the man
had bidden about $2,000 In gold , and
speechlessncas after bo was taken
sick , the last few days of his life , pre
vented him from answering a question
put to him by hlH wife as to where
she could find the treasure.
Some of the relatives of Mr. Bocho
believe that he must have told his se
cret to some person who has thus far
chosen to keep the secret to himself.
It Is claimed that Mr. Boche realized
he was about to die , as he laid out
clolhing in which he wished to bo
burled , and It Is also snld that ho was
able to speak the day before his death
when , In settling with a neighbor over
a trade , he remarked , "You still owe
1110 a bushel of corn and ton cents. "
It Is argued froni this that Mr. Bocho
could have told' whomever ho chose
concerning the hidden money and that ,
knowing he was about to die , ho was
too wise not to give up the secret on
his death bed.
A search by Mrs. Boche and mem
bers of the family , however , 1ms thus
far failed to locate the hidden gold and
If any one person 1ms been told where
the money can be found , ho has not
yet chosen to give his Information to
the widow and others of the family.
Mr. Boche divided his land among
his sons some time ago but since then
he has made two sales , from one of
which ho received $1,500 and from the
other of which he received about $500.
He was paid In currency , but had the
currency changed Into gold , and where
he put that gold nobody ever could
learn. He was unwilling to entrust
the sum to banks-

A. J. DURLAND DISCUSSES COM
MERCIAL CLUB PLAN.
SAYS THE ELECTION WILL KAIL
Mr. Durlnncl Believes That a Meeting
at Which a Report of What Has Been
Done Were Announced , Would be
Well Attended.
Norfolk , Nob. , Fob. 0. Editor NOWH :
Inasmuch IIH the only way to commu
nicate with the stockholders of the
Commercial club seems to bo through
the columns of the newspaper , 1 ven
ture to address a lellor to you on thn
subject of the election of the board of
directors that HOOIUH to bo under way.
I noticed In your paper the other
day a stntomout looking toward an
election of this kind and WUH quite sur
prised thnt It would bo thought of,1 as
It scorns to mo not altogether fair to
stockholders and surely not for the
best Interests of the Commercial club
nnd our city.
I assume It must he that the direct
ors wore discouraged with the result
of their attempt to hold an annual
election In the day time , and bocaiiHo
of that failure , concluded that the pub
lic and our stockholders arc not suf
ficiently Interested to attend a mootIng -
Ing ; but In this they are undoubtedly
mistaken as , If they will call a meet
ing of the stockholders for any evenIng -
Ing with the announcement that they
doslre to make a report of tholr doings
money collected and disbursed , otu.
and for an election of directors for
another year , they will find an abund
ance * of interest and a good attendance
ance- .
Tills matter Is a very serious 0110
for the Commercial club and for Norfolk
I
folk and should not ho allowed to go
on In this way , that IH to say , It would
bo so much bettor to have an election
of directors at a public mooting whore
we can confer with each other and
dlsciiHS matters generally and got In
touch with what has been done and
doing lntho , club that the result of this
effort to elect through the postolllco Is
likely to bo a sorry failure.
Further than this , the plan of elect
ing directors by mail is directly con
trary to the constitutional provision
adopted by the organization.
COMMERCIAL CLUB BALLOTS.
Have Been Sent Out to Members of
the Organization.
Blank ballots have been sent out by
mall from the ofllce of Secretary Math-
owson of the Commercial club to mem
bers of the organization asking that
the ballots ho filled in with the names
of nine men to ho directors of the
Commercial club for the ensuing year.
The members are allowed one vote
for each membership which they hold
In the club. This ballot has boon sent
out by Secretary Matbewson in compli
ance with n decision of the club di
rectors at a recent meeting when , this
method was adopted in the hope that
an election might result , insofar as it
had failed to result in the regularly
provided way by balloting at the city
hall on the first Friday in January be
tween the hours of 10 a. in. and -1 p.
in.
The blank ballots sent out were ac
companied by return envelopes , al
ready stamped ; but by an accident
one-cent stamps wore on the envelopes
and , since the postal regulations pro
vide for two cents postage , It will be
necessary to add another cent's worth
of postage In returning the votes.

DETAILS OF TRAGEDY.
Murder ef Youna Girl at Ponca Was
Deliberate.
Ponca , Nob. , Fob. 6. Alone In her
lomo here , biiHylng herself with prop-
iratloiiH for her wedding , MHH ! IloHsle
Newton aiiHwerod a rap at. the door
his afternoon to llnd hoim-lf confrontl
od by Frank Frlnk , who , a few mo
ments later , shot and almost Instantly
killed the dofensoloHH girl.
Frlnk , who Is a well to do farmer ,
igod 30 , living a mlle HouthoiiHt of her
ionic ; then turned Die gun on hlniHolf ,
nlllctlug serious \vonntln In the head
mil breast. lie Is still alive , although
10 has not regained COIIHCIOIIHIIOHH
since the shooting.
Murder Deliberately Planned.
Miss Newton was 2 ( ! years old and
lived with her aged father. An Indi
cated above , the tragedy was the re
sult of an unhappy love affair.
The crime was committed al 3:30 :
o'clock p. m. Frlnk had driven In
from his farm early In the afternoon
ami was loafing In the cigar store of
Nulliam Groth. Just before the wlioot-
ing Mr. Newton , the girl's father , came *
Inlo the store nnd Frlnk was soon to
leave the place immediately. A few
moments later the Newton neighbors
were startled by the report of a re
volver , nnd were horror Btrlckon to
see Miss Bofmle reel from the house
nnd fall upon the ground In the yard.
Frlnk was nowhere to be seen.
The neighbors rushed to the girl's
assistance and'carried her into the
IIOIIRO , hut life was already extinct.
Wild Fight of Slayer.
A moment later the occupants of
Doylo's barber shop were surprised to
see Frlnk brealhlcssly enter and walk
dlrcclly to his overcoat , which hung
upon a hook on the wall. lie hastily
extracted several loaded cartridges
from one of Iho pockels and dashed
from the shop loading his gun. II
was done so quickly that no ono had
time to prevent him or to even think
of doing so.
Frank McCabe was the next person
who saw Frlnk. McCabe had just
driven his slolgh Into the alley behind
the Commercial hotel when a shot
rang out just behind him. Turning In
his seat ho saw Frlnk reel to the
ground and In an instant recover his
balance long enough to llro another
shot and stagger to the street a half
llock distant Here Mr. Bolton saw
the man drop a gun nnd fall heavily
to the walk. Mr. Bolton carried him
Into Dr. Young's office.
An examination on the operating
table disclosed a severe wound In the
head , the bullet being lodged In the
nose , nnd n bullet hole in the left
breast. The patient Is still uncon
scious.
Was to Have Wed.
The facts leading up to this most
distressing Iragedy were of nn un
usual nnlure. Tomorrow night Miss
Newton was to have married Edward
O'Donnell , a farmer in Iowa. Although
she was nt the time engaged to this
man she was sllll receiving the ardent
attentions of Frlnk , with whom she
had been keeping company for some
flvo years. Frlnk was well aware ol
the existence of a rival , and notwith
standing the fact that the girl had re
fused his offer of marriage ho had , on
more than ono occasion , nmdo threats
that ho would never let Miss Newton
marry O'Donnoll.
Made Threat to Officer ,
Ho had informed the marshal thai
he would never let O'Donnell mnrrj
"his girl , " but the the marshal had nc
Idea of the seriousness of the thrcal
and was entirely unprepared for the
crime.
It la supposed that Frlnk , knowing
of the Intended wedding , came to towi
prepared for the desperate work h <
had sot himself to do. While waitlnj
In the cigar store ho saw the girl' :
iithor inlor and formed bin plan of
ictlon at once. Knowing ihu girl
vould bo alone at homo ho went ( herd
it once , committed the murder with-
ml. parley with the girl , hurried to the
urlior nhop for bin overcoat , got the
hollH and ran around bohltid Iho hotel
iiilldlug , where ho nmdo the doHporato
ittcinpl lo put an end to bin own ox-
iitonco.
Frank Frlnk WIIH known to hi > a
ohor , lomporiito man , and the deed
annul ho attributed lo an Intoxicated
otiilltlnn. The only explanation that
an ho made IH KrlnlcVi unraiHoiiablo
