NOWB : A moat rigid iniij quiet Investi
gation 1ms lioon conducted by the au-
thorltlcH of this nnd Holt county dur
ing the past nix weeks In regard as to
the mysterious death of Tobias Jnsck ,
which occurred near Copenhagen In
AnH'lopo county on March 1(5 ( , on the
Burlington ralhond truck.
.Many thltiKB have coino to light
since thin Investigation has boon
In progress , which strongly point , to
foul piny , and Sheriff Miller Is now
sending out cards which read as fal
lows :
" | 300 Reward.
"Tho above reward will be paid by

rest and conviction of the party or

.lasok and placed his body on .tho Bur
lington railroad track , one injlo east
of Copenhagen , Antelope county , Ne
braska. J. D. Miller , sheriff of An
telope county , Nebraska. "
Dr. W. K. Conwelt of tills city , coun
ty coroner , was summoned to the scene
of the accident and oinpannolcd a Jury ,
which returned a verdict only to the
effect that the deceased had met
death by being run over by a Burling
ton train. The report of Dr. Conwetl
after returning to Nollgh on the even
ing of March 17 , Is as follows :
"All the circumstances Indicate
that the man * was killed by the west
bound train on the evening previous.
Apparently death was ngt Instantan
eous , as he seemed to have crawled
some llttlo distance along the snow ,
and to one side of the track , where
ho was probably thrown by the Impact
of the engine. At last ho reached the
\ : track and , lying down , soon after died.
No money was found In the pocokts ,
and the clothing was that of a work
man or tramp , lending force to the presumption -
sumption that ho was beating his way
on the train and probably fell beneath
the wheels. A short , stubby pencil
was found In the pockets ? and a very
llttlo chewing tobacco , and a knlfo
with a broken blade , and what seemed
to bo an old tobacco sack was a small
pass book with some addresses. There
was also found a hunter's license , Is
sued by the coutny clerk at Price
county , Wisconsin , to Tobias Jasek ,
and describing him as follows : Ago 22 ;
height 5 feet , 7 Inches ; weight 170
pounds ; hair dark ; eyes grey ; no dis
tinctive marks. It was dated October
30 , 1908. A tax receipt was also found ,
made out to the same name , and coverIng -
Ing land In Price county , Wisconsin. "
The entire train passed over the
body and , of course , It was horribly
mangled , the head was crushed , the
legs bruised and broken , one arm cut
off and carried a considerable distance
from the remainder of the body. The
coroner described It as one of the most
ghastly sights he ever witnessed.

Sioux Palls , B. D. , May 1. Milton
Mclver is the name of a young man ,
aged 22 or 23 , who niad < 3 an unsuc
cessful attempt to break into the
K Sioux Falls penitentiary. It came

their property.Young Mclver was
sentenced to a term of two years and
six months In the penitentiary. Pend
ing the result of a motion for a new
trial , he was released on bonds of
? 1.5dO.
Ho left the state and was elsewhere
when the motion for a now trial re
cently was dented. The authorities
of Hyde county wore about to institute
an action with the purpose of having
bis bond declared forfeited when Mo-
Ivor heard of the action relating to
the new trial and immediately came
to Sioux Palls. Going to the peniten
tiary , he asked to bo locked up , explaining -
plaining that ho was under sentence ,
but as he did not have a commitment

Mrs. Cleaver Wins.
Lincoln , May 1. The bitter fight
between Mary A. Latky and Maymo
Cleaver over the position of grand
chief of honor of the Nebraska De
gree of Honor , Ancient Order of Unit
ed Workmen , appears to have boon
settled in favor of Mrs. Cleaver by
the dismissal of Mrs. Latky's suit in
District court. When Mrs. Latky mov
ed for the dismissal of the suit , which
she instituted to oust Mrs. Cleaver
A and have herself declared grand chief
of honor , her action was generally con
strued as a throwing up of the sponge
on her part.
a Mrs. Latky hold the position of
grand chief for many years and was
leader of the faction that controlled
the affairs of the Nebraska grand
lodge during that time. At the annual
meeting of the lodge last spring the
contest between the two factions was
so close that It was only after sev
eral ballots that Mrs , Cleaver was de
clared elected by a majority of ono
vote. The election was contested by
Mrs. Latky on the ground that the
vote cast by Dr. J. C. Mosshort , form
er grand medical examiner , was un
lawful. She claimed' that Dr. Moss-
hart had no right to vote and that
without that vote Mrs. Cleaver was
not elected and the plaintiff as Incum
bent was entitled to hold over. The
defendant showed that H. M , Warring ,
who voted for Mrs. intky , has exactly
the same qualifications as Dr. Mous-
hart.

Ball Meeting Monday Night.
A baseball mass meeting will be
held at the city hall Monday evening.
Every business man , every baseball
loving citizen , every fan In the city Is
expected to be present.
The meeting is called by the base
ball committee of last year. The
gathering of baseball supporters will
take up the question of a Norfolk nine
for the coming season. If a nine Is
decided on , an organization for the
coming year will be effected.
Norfolk can put a good team In the
field this season. Most of the mem
bers of last year's nine , who made a
very creditable showing , are available.
With a little money this city can
be assured one of the best teains in
north Nebraska.
Our Deposits $1,560,000.
Norfolk bank deposits have reached
the highest point In the history of
the city. The total deposits In the
three national banks of the city now
amount to $1,559,647.47. The govern
ment call for statements as to the 'con
dition of banks on April 28 , 1909 , has
brought forth three remarkably sub
stantial statements , each Norfolk bank
in fact issuing the best statement In
its history In point of the size of
deposits nnd total footings. There Is
more money deposited in every bank
In Norfolk than ever before in the
history of the city.
Gain $200,000 In Three Months.
The total deposits of Norfolk banks
show a gain of $152,880.18 since the
last statement , February 5 , 1909. This
represents , however , a gain of over
$200,000 In north Nebraska deposits ,
as the national government has with
drawn $30,000 each from the Nebraska
National and the Norfolk National
since that statement. The government
since It has been running short of
founds has been calling In Its cash. At
present there is only $10,000 of Uncle
Sam's own money In each of the two
Norfolk depositaries.
Recovery From the Panic.
The growth of deposits In the banks
shows the recovery from the affects of
the panic. The previous high watermark
in Norfolk was reached In the state
ment Just before the panic , on August
22 , 1907. The movement of deposits
since then Is as follows :
August 22. 1907 $1,429,000
December 3 , 1907 1,263,000
February 14 , 1908 1,233,000
May 14 , 1908 1,355,000
July 15 , 1908 1,412,000
September 23 , 1908 1,339,000
November 27 , 1908 1,371,000
February 5 , 1909 1,407,000
April 28 , 1909 1,660,000
Deposits always show a decrease
during the fall and winter months ,
as a result of the withdrawal of funds
Incident to the harvesting and
marketing of the year's crop.
Total Footings $2,000,000.
The total footings of the Norfolk na
tional banks arc , for the first time ,
over $2,000,000. The exact figures
are $2,028,821.32 , This represents an
Increase of $237.810.71 over the footIngs -
Ings shown in the statement tu Feb
ruary , and an Increase of $292,746.20
over the total footings of a year ago.
The total footings of ( he Norfolk Na
tional have for the first time In a
government statement passed the
$1,000,000 mark. This figure has been
maintained for the past thirty days.
Tho'total deposits , which now stand
at $1,559,647.47 , , were at $1,106,707.29
on February 5 and at $1,351,584.41 last
May , This shows an Increase In de
posits for the three Norfolk banks of
152,880.18 since the last statement and
of $205,063.06 in the past twelve
months.
Have Increased Note Issue.
The statements show a considerable
Increase In the note Issue of the Nor
folk banks. Since February the Nor
folk National has Increased Its bank
note Issue from $50,000 to $ 9,000 , the
Nebraska National its Issue from $12-
500 to $50,000. The Issue of the Citi
zens National remains at $35,000.
JEALOUS WIFE DISAPPEARS.
Fairfax Man Asks Aid of Police In Lo
cating Spouse.
Fnlrflax , S. D. , May 1. To locate
Mrs. Millie Ziglcr of Fairfax , S. D. ,
Is the task which has been assigned
to the police department by her hus
band , A. D. Zlgler , who Is con
vinced that she Is in hiding In Sioux
City.
According to Zlgler , his wife left
homo a month ago taking with her
their two-year-old child , and since that
time he has heard nothing from her.
Learning that she was supposed to be
in Sioux City , Zigler came here three
days ago , and since then has been pur
suing n fruitless search for his wife
and child. .
The efforts of the police to locate
the woman also have been without
avail , and her abiding place still re
mains a mystery. Zlgler has offered a
reward of $25 to any one bringing him
Information regarding her where
abouts , but even this offer has failed
to bring the woman to light.
Zlgler declares that his wife left
him because of Jealonsy , and believing
that she would return he has not ,
until now , pushed the search for her.
His one desire seems to be to get pos
session of the child , although ho
also wishes to see his wife. Yesterday
afternoon Zlgler expressed the Inten
tion of going to Hubbard , Iowa , to con
tinue the search , but said he would re
turn to Sioux City -today.

No More Suspension , but Discharge or
Promotion , According to Service.
Omaha , May 4. G. W. Holdrege ,
general manager of the Burlington
railroad , has given notice that here
after the company will deal with Its
employes purely by the merit system.
Suspension as a corrective measure for
misconduct or neglect of duty is sus
pended and gone'on an everlasting va
cation. A record will be kept of each
man , and If the employe loses his
place it will be because of a bad
record. An employe guilty of dis
loyalty , drunkenness , insubordination ,
will be dismissed from the service and
will not bo re-employed , and one
whose record begins to look so bad
that ho is considered unsafe , will also
bo sent looking for a Job. Promotions
will be made as In the past. Upon re
quest an employe wll be given at any
time a copy of his service record.
Officers directly In charge of em
ployes affected by this order are re
quested to report for entry all com
mendable actions on the part of such
employes as well as those which Jus
tify criticism.

J. L. MEAD CYCLE COMPANY , CHICAGO , ILL
some Indication that the council was
ready to tackle the matter of remov
ing the limitation on the number of
saloons. By an oven vote the council
declined to do this at Its last meet-
Ing.
Meanwhile the next regular meeting
comes on May 11 and a week of dryness -
ness must Intervene unless a special
council meeting Is called during the
Interval to act on the eleven applica
tions , the wholesale licenses and the
druggist permits. Even then no
licenses may be granted If the dead
lock continues.
The eve of the drought brought ap
parently no change In the situation. .
Some expression of sentiment may
be asked from the business men.
Mayor Friday says that the Issue Is
not one of saloons , but of Justice. His
position , ho says , is against discrimin
ation. He believes that no man should *
be refused a license without cause. It
Is Intimated that even If the compro
mise ordinance , stands there will be
quite a material reduction In the num
ber of saloons , although the number
may not drop below eight. Seven Is
the limit In the present ordinance ,
which Mayor Friday and four councilmen -
men want repealed.
Did you hear that bang ? That was
the "lid" going on. Did you hear that
click ? That was the key turning In
the saloon door Monday night at 11
p. m. for the last time before the
drought.
Norfolk saloons were doing a big
"last day" business Monday.
