RODE A NEWS MAN'S BICYCLE Glad to De Free From Jail and Hand cuffs , Docho Sat on His Farmhouse Porch Sunday Afternoon and Dis cussed the Crops and Weather. [ From Momlny'ii Dully. ] Herman Docho llko many another urn before him has lived to learn that Iborty Is a very precious thing. Four nonths In jnll has spelled "freedom" n capital letters to Bochc. Herman Bocho Saturday afternoon topped from the Jail cell Into the rco air of the countryside. It was . big stop , that transition from the age llko Jail tit Madison to the farm iy the Elkhorn. Saturday Bocho again bccamo the load of his household. When bond mil court instructions wore brought nto Madison Saturday afternoon iocho went out of the jail corridor and ound wife and son waiting. Ho was Irlven at once to his farm south of ho city. Sunday made a new man out of 5ocho. One day out In the air with 10 Jingling handcuffs went far to- vards wiping from Bocho's face and nliul the record of his life since that lay day shooting. Bocho back on his own farm Sun- lay held his head up. Ills face seem ed to put on new llcsh and a siullo crept Into his eyes. Bocho is no man of words but ho smiles at the green fields and says hat It Is good to bo loose. For seven lays after the May day tragedy Bocho lived the life of a wild thing united In the wood. One night as ho crept towards homo the light of the sheriff's lantern Hashed In his face and bullets from the sheriff's revolver rang Dy him nnd plowed two holes In his clothes. Four months Bocho was be- lilnd the bars nt Madison. For two months , following the attempt to wncturo Sheriff Clements' anatomy with a pitch fork , ho hns been in close confinement broken only recently by short walks but always with the special deputy nnd the over present landcuffs. Handcuffs are dismal things , disagreeably suggestive , and Boclic when ho stepped Into freedom Satur- ilay found pleasure In poking his hands whither he pleased. Shy Concerning Shooting. If you had gone to the Bocho farm Sunday you would not have had the hospitality of the place thrown nt your feet but you would had had a decent , civil greeting. You would have found Herman Boche happy to be surrounded by his family and will , ing to shako your hand. You would - have sat by his side on the steps and been frankly assured by Bocho that he wouldn't kill you , that you were safe in his farm yard. You would have discussed the crops , the weather and the roads and had your questions answered. You would have touched on the murder charge nnd seen Bocho rise in an instant nnd vanish into the house. And if you had still sat on the steps Boche would have come , back to your side and again plunged Into the house nt any question or reference that was pointed. "How does it seem to bo In the to any man. " open again ? " "Good , Just like It would "And what of Madison ? " "Glad to be out , Just like any man would. " "And the boys have kept up the farm ? " "Of course , haven't I been away all the time ? ' Boche won't "talk. " "Don't talk. Don't talk. Don't 'talk. " The words of his lawyers ring In his ears. Rides a Bicycle. But Bocho is not uncivil and If you had ridden a wheel out to 'the Bocho farm as a News representative did Boche would had mounted your wheel and ridden It around the barn yard. Boche can ride a bicycle and found some pleasure In a little spin Sunday. Bocho's small grain Is cut and his corn is getting ready for the harvest. The Boche farm is well known to Norfolk people In years past as a flsh- ing resort It stands back from the roadside and is reached by a narrow jarry sort of n road that runs between two corn fields and throws you un expectedly into the Boche yard by n sudden turn. Its Just an ordinary sort of a farm house. Close by are the waters of the Elkhorn. In the yard Boche Is sitting with a friend or two and some of his family. Boche on November 25 will leave the farm again for his December trial at Madison for the slaying of Frank Jarmer. But until Chen ho will stay on the farm. "I won't run away , " Boche said Sunday.

Lincoln Star : The direct prlmar > has not come to stay In Nebraska un less It bo considerably Improved A the present time , with the vexations o Tuesday fresh In the minds of cand ! dates and of nil political workers , it Is counted unsatisfactory and cumber some. Owing to various interpreta tions of the law , there Is even now am < pie ground for n fine assortment ol legal protests against the workings nnd results of the primary. Officials high In authority were not agreed as to its provisions , and the humble vote ) stumbled quite blindly through perplex Ing processes demanded by a frightful ly "botched up" statute. The sup posed virtue In a primary Is the In creased opportunity It affords for get ting at the wishes of the greatest pos slble number of voters. But judglnf from the lack of Interest which UK voters In dozens of precincts took it the primary , it Is doubtful whethei Tuesday's results represent the "wil of the people" moro fully than th < work of a delegate convention wouli have roprcsented It. Ono of the prln clpal faults of the primary Is that 1 makes the avoidance of perjury , 01 the part of a candidates , exceeding ] ; difficult. A man can scarcely gi hrough an oxpoiiNlvo preliminary cam paign 111(0 tilt ! 0110 JllHt clOHUll , Illlll ln > n pay Uiu oxpeiiHt'H of an eleclloii 'nmpiilj'ti. without exceeding the imoniit of iii-tiii-y which the law miyii in olllce HoeUer may legally spend. 'ollllcH In no poor IIIIIII'M gnmo uiitlor ho new nyHleni , and Indeed It maybe bo nocoHHary to amend the corrupt inietlrcn act In order that ROIIUI of the welllodo camlldnlofi may have o/utlor iiHclciieeii when the bat Ho Is over mil the olllroH bolonj ; ( o them. In Milu 'ampalgti porsnnal popularity pulled niiny camlldateR through without ar o expenditures on their part. But bin will not always bo the cane.

N CHARGE OF SETH BULLOCK Horse Thieves , Bootleggers and a Counterfeiter Were Taken Through Here at Noon Some of the Prison- crs Were Bound In Chains.
