HAD BEEN KILLED WITH AXE 18 STRUCK DOWN BY UNKNOWN HAND IN HIS OWN HOME. BODY HIDDEN IN THE CELLAR People In the Town of Brunswick , Af ter Missing Citizen Since Last Mon day Night , Investigate and Find a Most Brutal , Fiendish Crime. Brunswick , Nob. , Doc. 9. Special to The News : The- most ghastly and one ot the most fiendish murders over com mitted In the state of Nebraska came to light here last night when the butchered body of A. G. Brown , an unmarried harncssmaker something over 50 years of ago , was found hid den In the cellar of his little house In the edge of town. The man had been missed since last Monday night and It Is now thought the murder was committed Monday night. Last evening a committee of three citizens Investigated Brown's disappearance , broke Into his house and found Ntho murdered body. - Head Mashed With an Axe. ftv % v Brown's head had been mashed and beaten and mangled with his own axe. The skull was broken Into bits , the top of the skull particularly being broken to pieces. The murder had been done In * the front room of the little lonely dwelling. 'I'hore , apparently as the bachelor harnessmaker sat In his chair Just after coming In from the barn , where ho had done the evening's stable chores , ho had been struck down by an unknown hand. Find Pool of Human Blood. The chair was tipped over and a pool of human blood on the parlor floor told of the cruel , fiendish human butchery. The body then had been carried not dragged through another room and Into the cellar where It had been tossed by the murderer to await Its discovery last night. Beside the mur dered body lay the axe with which the harncssmaker had been slaughtered. Robbery the Motive. Robbery Is believed to have been a motive for the horrible crime. . Brown generally carried on his person all the money he had taken In during the day , and when found there was not a penny In his pockets. The murderer , however , had been too sly to take the I * , man's watch. Murderer Locks Door. The harnessmaker's bunch of keys were gone and with these the mur derer had locked the door upon the house in which ho had just finished his terrible crime. The dead man still wore his over shoes , just as ho had come , apparent ly , from the barn. There Is absolutely no clue to the murderer. One suspicious looking character was In the village Saturday and Monday , but ho loft town on Mon day night's train and Brown was seen alive after that. It Is thought the mur derer must have been some local party who know of Brown's habit of carry ing money In his pockets. Safe Likely Robbed. Brown was a very quiet man and kept his own business to himself , and It Is not known how much money he had on his person Monday night , but it Is believed the amount was not large. It Is suspected that the mur derer , taking the dead man's keys , af ter locking the house In which ho had Just slain the harnessmaker , went to the harness shop , unlocked It , unlock ed the safe and robbed that. This could not bo confirmed , as the keys are gone and .the safe cannot be opened. Lived all Alone. Brown lived all alone. Ho had been here for several years. One brother survives him at Tropola , la. , and the remains will bo shipped to mat town tomorrow morning. The Antelope county coroner , Dr. W. P. Conwell , arrived here this morning from Ncllgh to hold nn Inquest. It was when n man who had borrow- ed a tool from Brown , tried and tried many times without success to find the harncssmaker In his shop , In order to crturn the tool , that suspicion as to foul play was aroused. The borrower of the tool had tried the house and found it locked. So a committee consisting of Tom McMa- lion , Henry Nnglo and Marshal Buck- master broke In the door of the house to Investigate the mystery. Citizens Investigate Mystery. Their eyes rested upon the over turned chair and the pool of human blood , frozen on the door , when they entered the house. Further search re vealed the lifeless body of Brown In the collar , his skull hacked to pieces , crushed and crumbled , and the bloody ax lying there beside the man that It had served to kill. A general alarm was given and the county officials nt Nollgh notified. The sheriff was out In the country last'n night and ho , with the coroner , drove the eighteen miles through 18-bolow zero weather this morning to Invest ! gate the crime. Coroner's Jury Returns Verdict. The coroner's jury Thursday after noon returned a verdict finding that Brown had been "murdered by an un known person. " Norfolk Police Hunt Murderer. J. W.

HILL SOUNDS WARNING NOTE1 ' GREAT NORTHERN RAIWAY HEAD SAYS "FARMi BETTER. " SCIENTIFIC FARMING IS NEEDED Philosopher-Builder of the Northwest Comes to Omaha and Delivers nn Address - dress Before the National Corn Exposition - position Raise More Crops. . Omaha , Dec. 9. The big music hall of the national corn exposition buildIng - Ing was 'crowded ' today when James J.8 , . Hill , "tho empire builder of the north west , " gave his address on the press ing need of a system of farming In the United States which shall greatly increase the productiveness of the soil. liT The time when the farms of this country - try , as at present tilled , will not feed the people , Is near ; the extension of area Is practically at an end , ho said. "Tho whole subject of our food sup ply and Its relation to population , In dustry , growth , Institutions and every thing that concerns our future is appropriate - propriato for this occasion. The true Pist statement of the broad general fact which It Is most desirable that everyone - ono should understand Is this : That this 1 country cannot feed the popula tion which it must necessarily have tlw within a comparatively few years If It does not change Its agricultural meth ods. The emphasis is all on that con ditional clause. "Wo cannot support our coming pop ulation upon the crop yield per acre that now satisfies us. Wo have to transform a growing decline In value and productivity of our soil under con tinued cultivation Into a rapid increase in both. If the crisis can bo seen moving upon us now , and If It took irG Great Britain over half a century to raise her wheat yield from about fifteen riU teen bushels to thirty-two bushels per acre , we have not time to lose. What has to bo considered , the keynote of all present discussion , is not the difficulty but the urgency of the task. The whole argument Is one not of despair , but of reassurance ; provided only that wo do the obvious , Indispensable and feasible thing , and do It now. Raps Lottery System. "Area Is Inelastic. Our public lands are mainly exhausted. A few more years will see the last of them. And , lest they should not be squandered quickly enough , we not only offer them to everybody under conditions that In vite and reward fraud , but when the government finds Itself burdened with'1 a particularly choice and valuable tract of farm land It holds a lottery and distributes It among Tom , Dlqk and Harry , no matter whether farm ers or speculators , after they have been collected from distant parts of the country by appealing to the pas sion for gambling. The areas to bo 'obtained by reclamation work would not , all told , take care of our Increase for two years. So there are final lim its already In sight to the quantity of tillable land. "The productivity of the soil and the food supply as compared with acreage and with population both de cline. Our total agricultural product has been growing so rapidly -and so Immensely that we find It hard to realize that this may bo entirely con sistent with failure , at the same time , to keep pace with the growth of na tional needs. The country , unless there shall be a change , Is approachIng - Ing a time when It must import wheat to meet home needs. Other food products - ducts also lag behind the constant new demand. Since that demand cannot be escaped , and since not to meet It means want or a lowering of the stan dard of life and comfort In this coun try , 'which no American would wish to see , there Is but one course before the nation. That is to Increase the productiveness of the farm so that the earth's gifts may year by year equal or exceed the people's requirements. . "It Is the more necessary because the great hulk of our foreign trade Is made up of these commodities. Foodstuffs - . stuffs and articles but one removed | from the soil are the currency with which wo have paid for what wo bought abroad. What wo have to do In this country Is to apply to farming the scientific knowledge , shaped now to practical uses , that will raise our average product per acre to something like that of countries which lack many of our advantages of soil and climate. When Great Britain , in what her own people regard as an age of agricultural decline , can produce over thirty-two bushels of wheat per acre , and other grains In proportion , while the United States calls It a big crop when Its av erage rises to fourteen , It argues mere want of intelligence on the part of this country ; .a failure to grasp the simple reasons" for coming hardship and Its obvious and natural remedy. Must Quit Abusing Soil. "All that Is needed to turn an Im pending national good deficit Into n surplus , to support In plenty 150 or more persons to the square mile In the United States , Is the use Instead of the abuse of the soil ; the prnctlco of that knowledge which agricultural schools and experiment stations have already formulated and are dally put ting before the people. The future ot this nation , political and moral as well as financial , Is bound up with the fu ture of the farm. By that will our character and our Institutions bo tried. By It , In the long run , nil wealth Is measured , conditioned and supported. The work of education has been begun , but It must be enlarged , supplemented and advocated all the time.
