C. J. Bullock of this city , who made
a business trip to Pender a few weeks
ago , says that at that time people in
Thurstdn county were openly advocat
ing the lynching of Hlgglns. Ho says
that It was surprising how bold waa
the discussion , people generally apimr
ently feeling no coinpuiu'tlon In Hint
Ing outright that they would IIUo a
clmnco at the murderer of Walter ( 'op
plo and his wlfo. "If wo get a eluiuce
at him , we'll llx him , " seemed to be

fall In Norfolk amounted to . 'J3 of an

Bonesteel News : Secretary Kull
has received positive information from
Governor Crawford that ho will bo In

exorcises for the opening ol the fair.
Ho also stated that if possible ho
would remain over to the afternoon
of the IStli in order to be able to meet
many of the citizens of Burke , that

With South Dakota's Governor with
us on the 17th and 18th and South
Dakota's distinguished United States
Senator , in the person of Hon. A. B.
Klttredgo on the 20th , it goes without
saying that there will bo something
doing in Bonesteel fair week.
Chicago Tribune : An interesting
wedding took place Monday evening
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. R.
French , in Beverly Hills , when Miss
Sophia Cleveland , daughter of the late
Henry Cleveland , was married to Mr.
Benjamin Tunlcy Reid of Norfolk ,
Neb. Mrs. French acted as matron
of honor. A. II. Winder of Norfolk
was best man. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Clifford Snow-
don , pastor of St. Paul's Evangelical
church. Miss Cleveland Is a member
of a family well known among the old
er residents of Chicago. Her grand
father , H. W. S. Cleveland , who was
a landscape architect of national repu
tation , laid out the park systems of
the city. Since her father's death
Miss Cleveland has been a ward of
Mr. and Mrs. French.
John Pike , the Northwestern relief
agent arrested In Norfolk as the al
leged betrayer of Myrtle Hendrlckson ,
has been released from the county Jail
at Fremont. After several days of
confinement he finally managed to give
bond that was satisfactory. For some
reason the release of the prisoner was
kept as quiet as possible and his at
torney requested the authorities not
to let It leak out. Pike at once left
Fremont with the woman to whom he
was married a few weeks ago. It Is
said they Ytent to Davenport , Neb.
Arthur Ricard , a homesteader in
the western part of South Dakota ,
waking from slumber and seeing a
rattlesnake calmly watching him from
the same pillow on which ho lay , caut
iously seized a tomato can and killed
the rattler with one blosv. Ricard lay
quietly when ho first djscovercd the
snake. The reptile began to move
around while the prostrata mpii cau
tiously reached for the can , on a shelf
over his head. The rest was easy.
The rattler's head was severed. The
snake measured three and a half feet
In length and had nineteen rattles.
To Impress on north Nebraska the
Important fact that It Is less than two
weeks from circus day In Norfolk , the
second advance car of the Barnum
& Bailey show was In Norfolk Wednes
day morning. The car came in Tues
day afternoon and at noon rolled on
to Grand Island. Behind , It left part
of its advertising crow , who scatter
out over this part'of the state to reach
the surrounding countryside and the
railroad lines where the circus expects
to get Its excursion crowds. Twenty-
seven men are attached to the car
though all of those are seldom with
It at any one time. The car has sleepIng
Ing apartments , dining room and hitch
on. It carries a twenty days' supply
of posters and circus literature. A
third car will visit Norfolk on next
Tuesday , a week before the coming
of the big circus. And the coming of
the circus will bo heralded by the ar
rival of the "forty-eight hour man" who
will wind up arrangements for the
purchase of the dally supply bill that
Is to bo bought In Norfolk. If the ad
vance car had come to Norfolk on a
Sunday Instead of Tuesday , this city
would have seen a fast base ball game
for car No. 2 carries a fast ball team
that makes a practice of taking games
away from the local nines where the
car Sundays.
NO EFFORTS MADE TO FIND HIG
GINS' LYNCHERS.
WAS FEELING OF DISTRUST
Cumlng County Is Divided In Twain
no to Sentiment on the Lynching.
Many Feared Thnt Hlgglns Might
Escape.
Wont Point , Neb. , Aug. 28. Special
to The NOWH : No effort IH being made
by uiobody to hunt out the members
of thu mob that bunged Murderer lllg-
gins to a bridge.
Sentiment In Cuiulng county , whore
thu lynching occurred , IH divided about
half and half. Some people , deploring
the lynching , urge that the lines of
Hlgglns' defense , published from time
to time , and maudlin sympathy that
had sprung up , tending to Indicate that
by some chicanery the gallowu might
bo cheated , created the sentiment.
It WIIH known that bitter fouling exIsted -
Istod and the uhoriffB are criticised for
taking IllgghiH to Ponder by train. It
Is argued that If bo had been taken In
an automobile and brought Into court
at the right moment , no mob would
have * dated violence1. The small popu
lation of Bancroft , the Isolation of thu
station and thu pilsoner guarded by
only two men Invited mob violence.
The only other lynching In Cuniing
count > was in the frontier days.
Lincoln , Nob. , Aug. 27. lleforo lea'v-
lug Lincoln for Iloldrege , whuro ho
will Hpeak at an old settlors' picnic ,
Gov. Sheldon discussed the lynching ,
but outlined no policy. Hu has no ap
propriation with which to umko an of
fer of reward. Gov. Sheldon oxpectB
the district judge to call upon the
grand jury to Indict the lynchors.
Approve the Lynching.
Bancroft , Neb. , Aug. 27. Hero In
Bancioft , whuro ho lived and moved
among the people tor nearly six
months , there are few persons who
bewail the fate of Lorls Ray lllgglns
or have criticism for the method of
tils untimely and unlawful death at
the bauds of a mob.
CONDEMN THE ACT.
Editorial Comments on the Lynching
of Murderer Hlgglno.
Omaha Boo : The lynching of Mur
derer Hlgglns on his arrival at Ban
croft Iroin Omaha In custody of the
sheriff Is a piece of Inexcusable law
lessness.
While the crime for which the pris
oner was responsible reached the
height of brutal atrocity , there was
nothing to indicate that the perpetrator
would not be required to atone for It
with his life.
Nothing had happened since the ap
prehension of the murderer to prevent
the duo course of justice under the
regular "administration of the law pro
ceeding to vindicate society fully for
the crime that had boon committed.
In committing another crime equally
reprehensible , friends and neighbors of
the murdered couple have little'to off erIn
In extenuation and only bring upon
themselves and the whole state an
odium which will with difficulty be
shaken off. The lynching of a negro
In the south Is a common occurrence
quickly forgotten , but the lynching of
a white man in Nebraska puts a blot
on the name of the state not easily
erased.
While the Bancroft lynchers call for
unqualified condemnation , wo may as
well open our eyes to the fact that the
recent escape of several notorious
murderers through the meshes of the
law right here In Nebraska has tended
to create a popular distrust of the off !
clency of our courts for the prompt
punishment of homicidal crime. Thu
miscarriage of justice In the courts ,
coupled with the flagrant abuse of the
pardoning power , reaching a culmina
tion under Governor Mickey , have fur
nished the fuel to this fire.
The lynching of Murderer Hlgglns ,
however , has simply produced another
murder for which the law should leave
no stone unturned to fix the culpabil
ity and to exact the penalty.
Omaha World-Herald : The murder
of Lorls Hlgglns by the mob at Ban
croft was a more despicable crime In
every way than that the lad Hlgglns
was guilty of when he committed the
double murder which the mob so evilly
avenged.
There Is absolutely no excuse for the
mob ; not one. It lias disgraced and
humiliated the stato. Its every mem
ber should bo hunted down and pun
ished with all the rigor the law pro
vides for deliberate and cold-blooded
murder. For this mob did not act In
the heat of passion. Young HIggins'
crime was perpetrated months ago.
That miserable boy slow his victims in
a fit of drunken obsession. The cow
ardly murderers of yesterday allowed
four months to elapse before taking
vengeance Into their own hands. They
acted with malicious and premeditated
deliberation dozens against one , and
that one a boy !
It may | erhaps bo urged , In defense
or palliation of the mob's action , that
stays of oxccutlon and commutations
of sentence have been all too numer
ous in Nebraska recently ; that tender
hearted governors and learned chief
justices seeking re-election have Inter
fered with the law's course so often
that the people no longer trust to the
law for that awful vengeance which
exaclH an ( > o for an eye and a llfo for
u llfo.
Such a plea may well oomilltuto inn-
leilal for thought for olllclalilom at
Lincoln , but In no way docii II lend to
JiiHlIfy the mob. To do murder because -
cause angry that the law against It In
not enforced lo Iho uttermost IH a nelf-
evident absurdity Hint dcfoalH Its own1
purpose. Murder , for whatever roili
HOII conimllloil , whollior by one manor ,
IIfly , whether by a drunken boy hardly
oul of bis IOOMH or u mob of adult cow-
arils , IH still murder.
The good name of NohniHka and the
HUproiiiuey of the law demand piompt
and vigorous acllon , on the part of the
slate and county authorities , liieliidlug
Governor Sheldon first and foremost ,
Hint will properly punish the murdur-
ors of Lorlu Illgglns.
Lincoln Journal : Murder pure and
Hlmple , cold-blooded murder , IH Hie
only name for Iho lynching that dis
graced Nebraska yesterday. Nouo of
the imiial oxeimoH can bo urged. The
t'opplo murder occurred WOC | < H ago.
Such blind rugu as might have led to
the lynching of the red-handed murderer -
or has had more than lime enough to )
subside Into a cold contemplation of
thu luctu.
It requires but a superficial study of
recent Nebraska history to make It
clear that this oiilragu ban Its roots In
the senllmental clemency of the last I
governor and In llio lack of efficiency I
shown by Juries and officers of llio ,
law generally In bringing criminals to
punishment. My weakly yielding to
tears and pleadings , Governor jMlo.kuyil
inadu u mockery of Iho law of God and
man. The seed ho sowed HO lightly
and liberally now Hprlngii up In renewed -
nowed defiance of law and a renewed
disgrace lo Nebraska. The people ofi
llils Htalo miiHl retrace llio path along'i '
Which they were carried by a well
meaning but weak executive. Thojl
host evidence that they mean to do so
will bo the courageous prosecution of ,
llio ringleaders In this latest murder
In C'mnlng county.
The good iiaino of Nebraska and the
future security of her people depend'1
upon llio unfaltering application oftho'1 '
law to .Ibis case. Though a lyiicherll
never ausweied for his acts before , ]
I hough he never do again , tbvro
be an answer In Ibis ease If the -
Hlraltits of law agreed upon by llio

IT WAS A FAT MEN'S RACE IN
CREIGHTON TOWN.
JOHN STRAUSS DID A TURN
Strauss Turned a Somersault Because
the Dog Got Between His Flying
Feet The Racers Were All Over
200 Pounds Apiece.
Crelghton , Nob. , Aug. 28. Special to
The News : It was a fat men's race.
Three prominent Crelghtonltcs were
entered none weighing less than 200
pounds. All three together weighed
075. Hero were the starters :
Charles Paul , the creamery man ,
225 pounds.
Carl Wlcdlich , the butcher , 200
pounds ,
John Strauss , the billiard hall man ,
250 pounds.
It was a case of the butcher , the
butter maker and the billiard stick
maker. But a little bull dog gave a
turn to the event , and Incidentally to _
Charlie Paul , which took the ginger
out of the race result.
Wledllch got up the race. It was
for a bet. The three were to run 300
feet a block and the winner was to
get the slakes , which wcro made up
by the crowd.
Patil owns a bull pup. But that's
getting the dog ahead of the tale.
Sheriff Burns was to decide the case.
Ho promised protection from the mob.
The word was given and the trio
leaped into the stretch. At the half
way post there was trouble. That's
where the dog came in. Ho came In
between John Strauss' Hying feet and
John turned a somersault that ought
to make him valuable for the circus.
Strauss was in the lead until the
dog butted In. Then ho lost out. It
was n somersault In the air , and a
good one. You should have scon him
roll. Today ho nchcs. Ho says the
dog will never live to see another fat
men's race. It was bad for his stem
ach.
