NORFOLK AVENUE LOT FOR A DOG
But the Dogs Were Good Ones and
Sanford Parker Wouldn't Trade.
Hon. Sanford Parker , receiver of
the O'Neill land office , who has been
n town visiting his son , Clarence Par-
< er , cashier of the American Express
company , retains a vivid recollection
of an opportunity which ho failed to
take advantage oMn Norfolk at an
early day. It was In the early ' 80s that
lie had been to market to Wisner , that
: hen being the nearest railroad point ,
and ho was on his way home. During
his trip ho had become the possessor
of two handsome stag hounds , which
he considered quite a prize. Stopping
over night in Norfolk , which was then
a small aggregation of frontier houses
tiuddled around the mill dam , he met
some man whose name he cannot re
call , who concluded ho would like to
own those hounds , and proposed to
trade Mr. Parker two town lots for
the animals. Mr. Parker went nnd
looked at the lots and concluded that
they wore too far from town to ever
have any real value , so ho continued
on his way with the hounds. Yester
day he was trying to find the location
of those two town lots , and ho con
cluded that they were either what is
now the Pacific hotel corner or the
Citizens National bank corner. And
one of the hounds died shortly after
he reached home.
Speaking of old times , Mr. Parker
recalled the winter of 1876-7 , when he
walked from Nlobrara to Deadwood , a
distance of about 450 miles. This was
during the Dlack Hills gold rush , and
he had become Imbued with the idea
that all one had to do was to get to
Deadwood , where gold was to be found
at the root of every spear of grass ,
and his fortune would be made. Hav
ing no other way to get to the prom
ised land , he walked. When he
reached Deadwood ho had very little
money left , and the next day ue was
"busted. " Then ho went to work cut ,
ting logs until he earned enough to
ride home.

was the Knox county sheriff who sev
eral years ago arrested Isaac McCown ,
alias Mlko Maloney , the man now
charged with the double murder at

Mr. Robinson road with interest the

'Mike Maloney , " or Mlko McOwn ,
or Isaac McCown , which last Is his
real name , was arrested at Niobrara
and tried at Center for the murder of
William Merrltt in 1903 nnd was ac
quitted.
I was sheriff of Knox county at the
time and the night of the murder was
n Crelghton on my way to Lincoln
nnd Kearney with a woman for the
asylum and a boy for the reform
school. It was a Sunday night and 1
was Just getting ready for bed when
I received a 'phone from Center say-
ng a murder had been committed In
Nlobrara and that I was wanted there
Immediately.
I secured attendants for my prison
ers and started for Center , as I coult
not get a team to take mo to Nlobrara
I took my own team at Center and nr
rived at Niobrara about 5 o'clock Mon
day morning.
I found that the street from town
to the scene of the murder had boon
packed down by the feet of those who
went down to see what they could see
until there was no hope of using a
blood hound. A rumor was afloat tha1
a woman of the , town had seen the
murdered man go home and a minute
after a man follow him nnd cui
(
through an alley to the next street to
Intercept him. I made a search in
this alloy and'found the footprints of
a man running in the fine dust of the

Jack Conway Assists.
About 9 o'clock , In company with
Jack Conway , now city marshal a
Gregory , I went to the west end of
the railroad bridge across the Nlo
brara river and arrested McCown. who
was camping there and fishing. When
lie saw me start across the bridge he
hid Jn the willows , but later came ou
and asked what I wanted. When I
arrested him I told him he was SUB
pected of shooting a man up town , bu
I did not tell him who. He practically
gave himself away by admitting that
he knew who it was , but afterwards
denied that he knew.
When I had him in Jail I took his
shoes and , with a number of witnesses
caused tracks to be made In the alley
by the side of the ones made by the
man who followed Merritt home. They
tallied Identically.
In the trial of the case it came ou
that he had been down to the brewery
Sunday with a number of men drink
ing beer and had exhibited a gun an <
declared that he would kill Merrit
before the sun came up again. When
they arrived up town and drove Into
the liyery barn , he stepped into the
office and saw Merrltt writing a lette
at the desk. None of his companions
saw him after that , but the family o
the murdered man testified that they
heard him exclaim "Is that you , Ike ?
and that the answer was three shots
two of them taking effect
Unwritten Law Freed Him.
On account of the nature of the case
the Jufy found him not guilty , bellev
ing there were extenuating clrcum
stances the unwritten law but
think ten of them have since told me
that they were convinced that he wa
guilty.
