miles north of llosklns , todnv Hhot
anil killed hlH brother , George Knlca ,
and then turned the smoking revolver
upon himself and Inlllctod wounds
which caused his donth this aftornoon.
Motive a Mystery.
Motive for the double tragedy IH a
inyHtory. It IB rumored that the two
brothers had had trouble , but the wi
dow of the murderer and milcldo says
Iter husbiind never told her of any
old trouble between hlniHelf and the
brother whom ho Killed today.
Drags Body of Dead Brother.
The tragedy occurred at the house
of Henry Amends , a neighbor. George
Knles followed with murderous Intent.
George Knles stood In the doorway of
the Amends' homo when the three
bullets were pumped Into him and he
fell dead on the threshold when the
second shot pierced his heart. The
murderer then seized his slain brother
by the feet and dragged him out upon
the bare ground.
Falls , Wounded , Near Victim.
With one loaded shell still In his
revolver , Henry turned the weapon
upon himself and tired. Whether or
not this bullet took off eel Is not known.
Afterward he reloaded the gun and
shot nl himself four more times. Ho
soul Iwo bullets Into his own body ,
ono In the abdomen and one In the
neck ; the other three bullets missed
his body. Staggering with fatal
wounds , the slayer fell within three
feet of the brother whom bo had killed.
Both Formerly Lived in Norfolk.
Both men formerly lived lu Norfolk
on the George Williams farm south
west of the city. GeorgeKnles , Hit
murdered man , lived In and around
Norfolk for seven years , lie was the
older. Henry Knles , who did the shoot
ing , lived at Norfolk throe months.
Henry was Induced to leave Nor
folk and come to llosklns by the brother
or whom he murdered today. Former
ly both worked lu packing houses m
South Omaha. They lived on rentec
farms here about a half mile fron
each other.
Henry Starts Out to Kill.
It was early this morning tlm
George Kueis wont to the farm o
Henry Amends , In the neighborhood
Amends and George Knels jolntlj
owned a bull , which the. two men to
day took to the Amends farm. The
nnlmal , under terms of ownership , re
ninlned alternately three months a
each farm. It had been at the George
Knels farm and today was taken to
the Amends farm to remain for three
months.
The two men went past the farn
of Henry Knels. Henry was hauling
hay in his fjarnyard. When ho sa\
his brother and Amends pass the farm
on the road , he immediately httchei
his horses to a spring wagon , place
a club and a pitchfork in the wage
box and drove to the Amends farn
The pitchfork was ono that Henr
Knies had borrowed from Amends , s
that ho was returning It.
George Gets Inside House.
Apparently Amends knew some
thing of trouble that existed betwee
the Iwo brothers. He saw Henry ai
preaching and told George to go In ,
doors. George went In the doorway.
Amends looked into the wagon and '
saw the pitchfork and club.
"You don't need to pack them off ;
I have something else that will fix
him. " This was the remark of Henry
Knels when Amends looked nt the
pitchfork. The man who was to mur
der his brother and kill himself a mo
ment , later seemed excited when ho
drove into the Amends farmyard.
Begins Shooting.
Henry Knels sot down from the
wagon and walked toward his brother ,
standing In the doorway. He wont to
within ten feet of the brother. Amends
stood between the two men. Sudden
ly Henry drew a gun and began shoot-
Ing. The first bullet whizzed by
Amends , barely missing his head.
This ball of lead struck George Knles.
A second ono closely followed , that
also taking effect. These two bullets
struck In the groin and the right leg.
Thq wounded man doubled up with
pain and turned slightly around.
Third Bullet Pierces Heart.
Then came another bullet It
struck the victim In a glancing man
ner on the right side. Probably it
pierced the heart of ( ieorgo Kiiels for
Instantly ho fell over dead. Ho
dropped backward Into the house , his
hat landing ten feet from the thresh
old.
old.Tho brother-killer advanced to the
door , grabbed the feet of his dead vic
tim and dragged thu corpse out from
the house Into the bare yard. Ho
dropped the body at a point four feet
from the doorstep , seven feet from
the house.
Three shots had boon Ilrod nt the
man who lay dead on the ground. Ono
more loaded shell remained In the gun
Thu weapon's smoking muzzle was
turned toward himself by Henry
KnelH and the trigger was sprung
Whether or not a wound was marked
by this bullet or not , nobody knows
There was no witness to this shot.
Reloads Gun For Suicide.
Hill whether or no , Henry Knels re
loaded his revolver and turned its uoso
once more upon his own body. The
gun began rapidly spitting lire and
lead. Four bullels plunged from the
weapon's barrel. One of them sanl
Into the abdomen ; ono dug Into the
neck , at the right side of Iho wind
pipe ; three sped away Into the air
and did no harm.
Fifth Bullet Falls to Go Off.
The tragedian tried In vain to pumi
ue more clump of metal Into his owi
nine , but the bullet failed to dls
harge.
For a moment the wounded mm
tumbled about wildly , and then sanl
own , mortally wounded , within three
> et of the dead brother whoso life he
tad just taken.
The dead body of George KnelH wa
ft lying lu the spot where llenn
uid dragged It. to await the coroner'
Hliiost at 3 o'clock. The woundei
ody of the murderer was carried to

clous and made no statement.

taut ly ; Henry died between 12 and
o'clock this afternoon.
Woman and Children Were Near.
The wife and children of Henry
Xiueiids were Inside their homo when
he dual tragedy was enacted In the
lorwny.
It was dllllcult to get a story from
\mends. witness to the shooting , who

WATER PROBLEM IN WEST END
IS SOLVED AT LAST.
CARRIES OVERFLOW TO RIVER
Only One Incomplete Detail Brought
' Out In the Ditch , the Dike Needing
an Extension on the North End.
New Canal Was a River.
The now west-end , drainage canal ,
recently completed from Koenigsteln
avenue to the Elkhorn river , has been
tested and found not wanting. With
ono of the biggest floods thai ever
came down from northwest hills , the
new canal proved Itself entirely ca
pable of handling probably any freshet
that will visit the west end of town.
One incomplete detail was brought
out by the overflow the dike to giildo
the current Into the now ditch had
not been built qulto far enough north
but remedying this detail will bo the
work of only a couple of days , In the
opinion of Colinty Commissioner Taft ,
and when the now dike extension Is
constructed the water problem for the
west end of Norfolk , which has boon
such a serious ono for almost a score
of years , will bo solved forever.
2.10 Inches of Rain.
Rainfall for the day amounted to
2.10 Inches. Most of this fell In the
early part of the day , 1.34 having fall
en before 8 a. m. During the after-
loon .7fi of an Inch of rainfall fell and
t fell HO quickly that the hills north-
vest of town poured millions of bar-
eta of moisture down the ravine
vhlch leads Into the city at Its north-
vest extremity.
.lust west and north of the 0. C.
Gow homo on Thirteenth streol and
Coeulgstoiii avenue the water which
ushos townward strikes the now
Iralnago canal and Is forced Into a
sharp angle , the ditch bonding off to
the sou 111 went at that point. A dlko
in thu east side of the canal was built
for the current to boat against that It
might bo switched Into the new direc
tion. Striking against this dlko , the
water tended to spread north as well
as Into the ditch , resulting In a slight
overflow around the end of the dike.
Thin overflow flooded the garden of
C. C. Gow and washed down across
other premises In the neighborhood ,
finding an outlet down the old gutters
on Norfolk avenue. During the high
point In the flood Norfolk avenue was
entirely under water In the weut ond.
Part of the overflow sought the old
channel of Corporation gulch Into
Thirteenth street. Although the tun
nel there had been filled up the force
of water ate a passage through and
brought this abandoned walorway once
again Into slight use. This water cov
ered Thirteenth street soulh of Nor
folk avenue.
New Canal Was a River.
Hul prettly nearly all of the water
that came down from the hills was
diverted Into the new drainage canal
and went rolling nl lorrlflc rale lo the
Elkhorn river , Into which the now
ditch empties just west of the North
western roundhouse at the Junction.
Hank full and with a mighty cur
rent , the new ditch became a river In
Itself and the muddy water , with de
bris from the hills , rushed down the
channel with amazing speed. The
sight was a good one to the eyes of
residents of the west end who real-
l/od that , but for the dew ditch , ono
of the most disastrous overflows In
the history of the gulch must have
been experienced.
The ditch has a decided drop and
this sent the water bounding southwest
out of town and Into the Ilaaso slough.
Hero the water spread out over Ihc
meadow for the time being but when
morning dawned It had practically all
boon drained away Into the Elkhorn
river.
The ditch was finished from the
Haasc slough to the river about ten
days ago when the county elevator
grader was put on the job. It was In
spected and accepted by the engineer
and commissioners. The ditch runs
under the Northwestern freight yards
tracks , there being eleven bridges in
the yards because of the canal.
Was High Water.
Compared with other freshets , the
water from the hills represented an
unusually high mark. C. C. Gow said
that only once had the wntor come
higher and Rev. , T. W. Hoveo , living a
mile northwest of town , said that ,
while ho had soon the water higher ,
there was moro water this tlmo than
is usual. Ho arrived al conclusions
from the facl thai the hlgheJ.t water
took out his entire pasture fence ,
while this water only took out half of
It.
County Commissioner Taft was en
thuslastic over the efficiency of th
now canal and said thai 11 had proved
the solution. Ho said a couple of
days' work with a few teams would
remedy the dlko al the north cxtrem-
ty so that there could bo no outlel
lercafter excepting by way of the
ditch. Teams would bo set at work
as soon as they could bo arranged for.
Mr. Taft will communicate with Engi
neer R. A. Swartout of Omaha , who
designed Iho canal , and Commission
ers Malone and Harding , before going
ahead with the work.

CLASH BETWEEN PACKERS AN *
COMMISSION MEN.
A NEW RULE IS THE CAU6E
A Decision Made by Packers Not to
Pay For "Cow Stuff" Until After
the Government Inspection , Has
Brought About Critical Situation.
Chicago , May 28. Meat prices In
Chicago may jump skyward this week
unless the "beef trust" recedes from
Its recently announced Intention to
delay payment on certain of Its lle-
stock purchases until they have passed
10 government post-morten examlua-
on.
on.The
The packers notified the commission
firms that beginning yesterday they
no longer would stand the loss on cou-
enined cattle , and In order to protect
hemselves they had found It neces-
ary to refuse payment on "cow stuff"
ntll It ha 4 passed the government In-
pectors.
This atlitude caused tremendous ex-
Itement In packing circles and It Is
redicted by commission men that an
xtremely acute situation will devel-
p unless the packers back down.
During the latter part of last week
honsamls of letters and telegrams
vere sent out by the commission men
o their customers , notifying them of
he action that had been taken by the
mekcrs and advising them to wltu-
lold all shipments of cattle to the big
nnrkets controlled by the trust until
he difficulty is adjusted. This Is ex-
> ected to cut the meat supply tre
mendously before the week Is over ,
uid prices are expected to go up cor-
espondlngly.
Commission men declare It Is the
ntention of the packers to enforce the
ule with regard to "cow stuff" now
n the hope that similar action may
> e taken later with reference to their
iiirchasos of sheep and hogs.
There were only 2,000 cattle In for
narket this morning.
STOCK MEN INTERESTED.
Northern Nebraska Was Much Inter
ested In Effect on Market.
Ilvestockmen of Norfolk and north
ern Nebraska are much interested in
.he new rule made by Chicago pack
ers regarding the non-payment for cow
stuff until after the government In
spection. This was indicated by the
Hood of telephone calls which swept
upon The News wires during the day.
The developments of the week will be
eagerly looked upon throughout this
territory.
' MYSTERIOUS TEAMSTERS.
Unknown Men Appropriated Barn For
the Night.
Unknown parties stabled their team
of horses in the barn of C. H. Rey
nolds at his home on The Heights
during the night. Before morning the
mysterious strangers left the place
without a word.
Tracks of the team Indicated that
the unknown horses had been stalled
in the barn over night. Whether the
team was. a stolen one. being taken
through the country , or for what oth
er motive the barn was selected , was
not known.
Do not dispose of any great period
of your time in a poor markel when
a want ad. will really "find a markel"
for your services.
Don't Push
The horse can draw the
load without help , if you
