GOVERNOR SHELDON AUTHORIZ
ES THIS AMOUNT.
BRINGS REWARD UP TO $300
MRS. BOCHE BELIEVES HER HUS
BAND WAS DROWNED.
SPLASH CONVINCED HER OF IT
THINKS HE WAS WOUNDED AND
FELL INTO BAYOU.
ACTIVE SEARCH IS SUSPENDED
I All Efforts Have Failed to Locate the
Slayer of Jarmer Sheriff Clements
Thinks He Will Yet Get Boche.
Theories as to Whereabouts.
Lincoln , Neb. , May 4. Special to
The News : . Governor Sheldon this
afternoon offered $200 reward for the
capture of Herman Boche , wanted for
the murder of Frank Jarmer at Nor-
"ilk.
The reward offered for the capture
and detention of Herman Boche now
amounts to $300. The state offers $200
and the county offers $100.
Will Herman Boche offer to
the charge of murder and surrender
himself to the law of his own accord ?
An Informal truce was established
Saturday afternoon between the sher
iff's office and Bocho whereby the
man hunt was to cease and Boche's
friends were to make an effort to get
into communication with the missing
man and persuade him to surrender
himself peacefully. Friends of Bocho
in and about Norfolk have urged the
possibility of getting Into touch with
Bocho and prevailing on him to come
out of hiding. Saturday afternoon
two days were given them to make
this effort.
Before leaving Norfolk for Madison
Saturday afternoon Sheriff Clements
said that the "truce" established
would run until G o'clock Monday
evening and that Boche would be giv
en an opportunlly to come forth dur-
tng that period if still hiding in Madison
(
son county. Meanwhile no searching
parties from the sheriff's office will
sally forth to hunt the fugitive.
The truce to which Boche was o
" 4. silent and unknowing partner did not
extend beyond the county , the $300
reward being calculated to insure considerable -
siderablo vigilance In guarding out
side avenues for escape. But in Mad1
ison county the officers were to wait
for Boche's friend to get in touch with
Boche , if still alive and hiding about
in local woods or buildings.
I Apparently thoroughly baffled in
tbelr chase for Herman Boche , wanted
for the murder of Frank Jarmer
Wednesday morning , Sheriff Clements
and the officers who are assisting htm
returned from Friday's search with
out having come across a trace of
Boche during the day.
Theories As to Whereabouts.
Having covered the vicinity of Bo
che's home in several careful search
es , Sheriff Clements in Norfolk Satur
day morning had no Immediate plans
for further action. Boche , according
to the officers , had either succeeded
in getting out of the country following
his escape from the Wednesday even
* 7 ing meeting with Sheriff Clements and
( Deputy Elley or else he was being
v carefully harbored by friends. Thai
he was roaming about the woods alone
and unaided during the cold nights
that have passed was not possible.
Friday Sheriff Clements , Deputy El
ley , Sheriff Stacker of Stanton county
" \ , and Constable Conley of Norfolk were
engaged in the search. Boche's home
and its vicinity was visited during the
day and the hunt extended to places
farther away that were thought might
furnish objective points to Boche.
Sheriff Clements and his deputy re
turned to Norfolk early last evening
spending the night in the city. Sher
iff Stacker and Constable Conlej
drove to Stanton , their course taking
them in that direction. Constable Con
ley returned to Norfolk on the even
ing train.
Search is Abandoned.
The plans of Saturday morning did
not contemplate an Immediate con
tinuatlon of the active search. The
sheriff thought that the ground abou
Bocho's home had been thoroughly
covered and that to go back again
would simply bo to retract their stops
with slight chance of hringlng new
facts to the surface. According to
the plans of the morning the deputy
sheriff was to drive back to Madison
during the morning , the sheriff return
ing on the afternoon freight. In Mad
Won the sheriff would put himself In
tonch with the situation to await do
YC'lopnjonts.
Boche Took a Boat.
One now fact brought to light was
tiiat Bocho in hastening to the vlcin
ity of his farm after the shooting tool
a boat belonging to * F. Lehman t
cross the Enkhorn. But as to wlm
his course was after Wednesday nigh' '
Friday's work did not show. The of
fleers were left at sea as to his where
iibouts. If Uoclip got away from the
county It \\UH Bald that Ma escape
must liavo followed the shooting
Wednesday nlisht before this section
of the state Imd been aroused and the
reward offered.
Wife Thinks He Drowned.
That ono of the shots llred at Ho-
chc Wednesday owning by Sheriff
Clements had taken effect and tlmt
her husband in running away to make
good hln escape had boon drowned In
a bayou near , the Bocho homo , was
the opinion of Mrs. Docho expressed
to the olllcers yesterday. Evidently
very much affected by the matter , Mrs.
Docho had heard her husband's shout
after ono of the olllcers' shots and n
lltllo later n splash as If someone had
jumped Into the water. In his wound
ed condition she thought that her lain-
band had drowned. The olllcern , who
also hoard the splash Into the water
but who Immediately examined the
bayou , did not think that Bocho wont
Into the water.
No State Reward Yet.
Up to Saturday morning no word
had been received from Governor Shel
don relative to the reward that the
state had been asked to offer for Bo
cho's capture.
While an active open search for
Uocho was given tip Friday for the
tlmo being , Sheriff Clements said that
the man's capture was only a matter
of time. Efforts to locate him willet
ot bo dropped and sooner or later
10 man must come to the surface.
Jut whether 200 miles away , or hid-
en about the woods where ho has
rapped and fished for two score years
locho's present location , according to
ho olllcor Saturday morning , was a
lero matter of conjecture.
Some Believe Him Drowned.
By some It was urged Saturday that
Jocho might ho neither lleelng nor
Idlug , but that drowned Wednesday
light in trying to escape the ofllcora
or later by design , his body might lie
beneath the water.
Among many of Bocho's neighbors
outh of the city there seems to be
quite a sentiment in his favor.
