A COURT TO SAVE THE HOME.

mestlc Relations Tribunal.
New York. May 10. A bill for the
establishment of domestic relation
courtB In New York has been favor
ably reported at Albany. The courts ,
If established , will bo the llrst of their

Wo have no legal provision for the

"The domestic relations court will
be a court where matrimonial matters
and domestic troubles will bo deall

"My experience has taught mo that
domestic troubles are In a great mea <

"Domestic troubles vary In character

Neligh Boys Took Victory.
Nollgh high Hchool defeated the Nor
folk high school team hero Saturday
afternoon by a Hi-ore of 12 to 3. It
was all a one-sided game after the
fourth Inning , when the local players
Boomed to go to pieces and Bcemed at
the mercy of Nollgh , who outplayed
Norfolk all around. It was a fast and
exciting game for an even four innings
when the Bcoro stood 1 to 0 In favor
of Norfolk and the local fans Boomed
confident that Norfolk had a walk
away , when suddenly Nollgh socmed
to find the Holutlon of Kolloher's
cnrvoH and pounded the hall.
Kelloher pitched a good game but
his support wan bad both In the In and
outfield , where HOIIIU easy catches
wore either fumbled or dropped. Er
rors were also frequent on both Hides
and the heavy wind aided in carrying
the ball from the players' mitts. In
the fifth Inning Neligh brought In four
runs and added six more to that num
ber In the Hlxtli.
The feature of the game was the
wonderful work of Ryuii , the Neligh
second baseman , who stopped some
hot liners. Ho was all around the in
field and never let a ball go by. Leon
ard pitched a good game , but the Nor
folk lads found no trouble In hitting
him , though due to his good support
and the team work of the Neligh play
ers the Norfolk hits proved fruitless.
The score :

Foul Tips.
Ryan was too anxious to make a
double In the fifth and forgot tc
| , place his foot on the base before he
threw to first , where the runner made
' good and his victim stole third.
Hrlggs and the wind were chums ,
I
Mills bunt for a sacrifice filled the
j ( bases.
! In the fourth the Neligh batter whc
'
hit that high fly believing it was a
foul ball should have started running ,
Instead he twirled his bat and watch'
ed the ball hit the ground while the
umpire said "fair ball. "
I The yelling of the Norfolk fans
. at close range to the Neligh batters
, did not feaze those * gentlemen , whc
plugged away at the ball.
I Mapes made good at picking up tht
I hot ones but often threw too low tc
'
first base where Durland held dowr
i
i the bag with much credit to himself
Umpire Howe's first job of the sen

Thieving In Trlpp.
Gregory County News : For th
past several months there has been
systematic series of thievery goin
on in Dallas ami only few who hav

scription.

sworn out by C. F. Fuller of this city ,
who had lost a tool chest containing
perhaps $70 or $100 worth of tools.
They were found on his place and re
turned to the owner. It was upon
this count that he was brought to
town and arraigned before Judge Ed-
elsteln and was bound over to the cir
cuit court under $500 bonds. Ho Is
now In the custody of the ofllcers.
The following Is a list of the arti
cles found on his premises which Vy-
social says ho stole. The olllcors are

owners.

NO FOOD FOR FIFTY DAYS.
Richard Fausel Says He Loves to Fast
Just for Fun.
Chicago , May 14. Fifty days with
out a morsel of food !
This is the record reached by Richard -
ard Fausel long time faster and he
claims he has scarcely more than
started.
Seven weeks ago Fausel , who IE
staying at a sanitarium at Forty-sec
end street and Grand boulevard , de
elded he was getting too fat. So he
quit eating.
Going without food hasn't bothered
him at all. Ho has a lot more time
to do other things. Fausel loves tc
fast. He docs It every once In ti
while.
A year ago he weighed 370 pounds
He went over to Battle Creek and fast
ed for forty-three days. It cut dowr
his weight to 235 pounds. Then he
went back to his home in Doland , S
D.
Several weeks ago he decided tc
begin another fast. Since he came tc
Chicago and quit eating ho has los
a pound a day. Fausel thinks he cai
beat the record of eighty days , am
Is out after it now.
"Tomorrow makes my fiftieth daj
without food , " ho said. "I'm nil right
Look ! "
He picked up a chair in each ham
and waved them around as if the :
were feather ( lusters.
"I drink about three glasses of Lak <
Michigan water that's thick enougl
every day , and that seems to bo al
I need. I fast every once In a whlh
when I get too fat. I've done It i
number of times.
"I am going to keep this up untl
the sixtieth day. If I am feeling gooi
then , good as I do now , I'm going after
tor the long distance record.
"It isn't a hard trick at all. Tin
first two or three days are uncoinfort
able. Then it Is easy. Only be care
ful when you start eating again
A little grape juice and an apple onci
a week is all you dare tackle at first.
SUCH A ROMANTIC FIANCE.
Charles Carey Rumsey Likes to Pla ;
at Being Poor.
New York , May 14. "I like to b
poor ; it's more romantic , you know
That's why I live hero Instead of li
an expensive studio building. Er-
have you or had your breakfast ? "
At 7:30 : o'clock this morning Charle
Carey Rumsoy , engaged to Miss Mar ;
Harrlman , second daughter of the lat
Edward II. Harriman and heiress t
an Immense fortune , tiptoed soft !
down from his little studio on the to
lloor of 55 East Fifty-ninth street.
"You see , I shouldn't have come on
so soon , but I was getting hungry ,
feel really quite helpless what do yo
want me to say ? "
It was still BO dark In the hall that
the reporter couldn't see what he
looked like when he said this , but the
Interviewer gathered from his tone
that he was not very close.
"Well , how long have you been en
gaged ? " the reporter asked.
Mr. Rumsoy removed his glasses
slowly , wljied an imaginary speck of
dust from them , adjusted them again
slowly and replied :
"Not very long. "
"One year ? "
"About six months , " ho finally ad
mitted.
"And how did you meet Miss Harrl-
man ? "
"She posed for me and I made a
has relief of her. She was charming
ind well , you know It was quite ro-
iinntlc , we fell In love at least 1 fell
n love or we both or you know. "
Again the glasses needed attention.
"And when are you going to get marled -
led ? "
"Oh , just as soon as 1 possibly can , "
10 admitted.
Hy this time ho was on the front
stoop. The morning light revealed a
very boyish young man In a blue suit ,
vlth twinkling light blue eyes and a
noutli that fairly twitched with mor-
lincnt.
"You are very young. "
He laughed.
"I'm almost 30 ! " with a touch of
spirit.
"And very rich the janitor said so. "
"Oh , no. not rich ! Do I look it ? "
"Hut your people are ? "
"A little , perhaps but I am poor
t's so much more romantic to live In
i garret and struggle , don't you think
so ? "
This very Ingenuously.
In answer to another question , Mr.
lumsey said that he had studied art
n Paris and In Cambridge , Mass.
"I'd rather be a poor sculptor than
a rich Wall street man that's all , " he
volunteered , and hurried into the lit
tle lunch room next door.
KEEP DIRT OUT OF YOUR FOOD.
Bad to Eat a Peck of It Before You
Die , Health Office Says.
Chicago , May 1G. Kiss goodby to
ill those old household sayings that
wo blindly thought held so much of
iclpful truth. The Chicago health do-
mrtment says they are only "dirty
plgrams , " and has prescribed them.
In their stead it gives us a hunch of
so-called healthgrams which are the
xmcrete expression of the accumu-
ated knowledge of the city's official
doctors.
These are some of the "folk say-
ngs" that are sent to limbo :
One must eat a peck of dirt before
he dies.
The street child Is healthy.
People were healthier in the good
old days.
A goat keeps a stable healthful.
Gas works are good for consump
tion.
In lieu of what is taken from us ,
what do we get ? Here are a few sam
ples "healthgrams" all :
Open windows close the door to
consumption.
Your lungs can't bo washed out , but
: hey can be aired.
One fly swatted in May is equal to
1,000,000 swatted in July.
Mother's milk for babies ; cow's milk
for calves.
Floods of sunshine in the home may
fade carpets , but it puts the bloom of
health on your cheeks. Take your
choice.
In Whole Steel Industry.
Washington , May 1G. The condi
tions of labor existing at the Bethle
hem steel works at South Bethlehem ,
Pa. , as set forth in the bureau of la
bor , recently sent to congress , are
more or less common throughout the
entire steel Industry , according to a
statement Issued by Dr. Charles P.
Nelll , commissioner of labor. He re
ferred to the conditions in the blast
furnaces as shocking. This announce
ment was brought forth by a protest
made to Secretary of Commerce and
Labor Nagel and Commissioner Nelll
by President Charles M. Schwab and
other representatives of the BethlO'
hem steel works regarding the sum'
niary issued by the bureau of labor ol
the report of its agents on wages and
working conditions at the steel plants ,
Mr. Schwab complained that the sum
mary was unfair to his company In
failing to state that conditions found
at the Bethlehem steel works were not
peculiar to that plant , but were general
oral In the steel Industry.

So He Bought the Potatoes.
Gordon , Neb. , May 1G. SpoelnfTo
The News : A man representing him
self to bo a salesman for Hnller com
pany of Philadelphia and Omaha , has
relieved the farmers minds of the
problem of disposing of their last
year's crop of potatoes and likewise
relieved their pocKetbooks and neg
lected to pay help or board bills.
On Wednesday , April 13 , a man
named Leroy V. Hallor accompanied
by his wife and a man named Thomas ,
registered for board at the Commer
cial hotel. Hallor stated that ho WIIH
selling groceries to farmers and ranch
ers at wholesale.
During the day , however , he learned
that farmers bad not sold all of their
last year's crop of potatoes. So ho
dropped his Idea of selling groceries
and began buying potatoes for ship
ment. Ho got a force of men togeth
er to go sort potatoes out In the coun
try.
They soon had a car loaded which
Haller shipped to Chadron. lie went
to Chadron the same day to dispose
of the potatoes taking one man and
leaving Thomas to attend to the ship
ping of the second car.
The men working here began to
need some money and n hurry call
despatched to Chadron April 30 ,
brought Haller hero Sunday , May 1.
He paid some of the men and wont
back to Chadron the same night tak
ing his wife and has not appeared
in Gordon since. While here ho or
dered the second car shipped to Oc-
tnviii , Neb. , at once. The last heard
from him ho was peddling potatoes in
Olerlchs , S. D.
One car of potatoes stands on the
track here now and the farmers are
beginning to realize that they were
vorked by a smooth-tongued sharper.
t is now believed by all that he is
he same Haller who worked Keya
'aha farmers for $2,000 a short time
igo.
igo.Mr.
Mr. Thomas says he did not know
laller till a few weeks ago when he
net him at Bassctt.
Haller has fooled the farmers here
ind judging /rom the past perform-
inces , If he be the same Haller who
vorked the Keya Palm farmers , ho Is
irobably engaged in working a slmi-
ar game in South Dakota. If he can
only be found and brought within the
urisdlction of the state , a warm wel
come awaits him from those he has
swindled out of board , money and la
bor.

A brief history of the case is as
follows :
Albert G. Brown was found murder
ed In his cellar on the 8th day ol

beside the lifeless body and his head
crushed In at three distinct places.
The coroner , W. F. Conwell , Sherlfl
Miller and County Attorney Rice ol
this city wont over to the village ol
Brunswick on the morning of the 9tl
day of December and held an In
quest upon the body. Suspicion al
that time was strongly upon Joe Me
Kay as being the murderer , and aftei
the Inquest he was arrested by the
county sheriff.
Find Money at McKay's.
The county attorney and a mimbei
of the prominent citizens of the vll
lage of Brunswick went to the rest
donee of the defendant that aftornooi
and made a search of tno house
They therein found a pockethook con
tnlnlng $20 In bills , which wan hlddei
awny In a boxful of clothes. Mrs
McKay was questioned about tin
purse and money and told several con
Hiding stories as tp how It came t (
bo there. This purse was Identlflec
during the progress of the trial ni
being one of the murdered man'i
purses.
To the sheriff and county attorne ;
on the night of Thursday. December
9 , when the accused was placed in
the county Jail and questioned in re
gard to the money found , ho told an
entirely different story than hud been
previously told by Mrs. McKay to the
officials.
Late the next day , Friday , Decem
ber 10 , the county attorney received
word from Brunswick that the mur
dered man's keys had leen found hid
den away In some hay In his barn ,
and that other elreuniHtaneoH were
being dlHcovered which disclosed a
motive for the murder of Brown.
The county attorney thereupon
started for Brunswick that night and
re m til tied the next day lu running
down all circumstances which would
tend to disclose the assassin Ho at
that time put the wife of the ac
cused through a searching examina
tion , and she denied that her lumbaml
had been on the Brown premises at
all for more than a month , and claim
ed that ho had not arisen on the
morning of the 7th day of December ,
till about the hour of S o'clock.
Say Hog was Brown's.
It was also discovered , the state
claimed , that the hog which had been
on the Brown premises up to the
morning of December 7 , and which
McKay had sold and taken away on
the morning of the 7th. was In reality
the property of Brown , the murdered
man.

The preliminary In the case was
held before Justice John M. McAllis
ter , at Nellgli , on Monday , the 21st
day of December , at the conclusion of
which McKay was held to the charge
of murdering Brown to the next term
of the district court without ball.
The relatives of the deceased had
employed M. F. Harrington of O'Neill
to assist the prosecution and the de
fense secured the services of O. A.
Williams of this city and Senator Al

On Monday , May 2 , the case was
called for trial. And after nearly two
days a jury was secured and sworn
in. It was then that Senator Allen
moved to discharge the accused be
cause of a clerical error In the infer
mation. The motion being overruled
by the court and the prosecution per
mitted to amend the Information. The
trial then proceeded.
The state took the testimony of
about fifty witnesses and forged a
powerful chain of circumstantial evi
dence connecting the accused with
the crime. The summary of the most
important points of this great mass
of circumstantial evidence Is as fol
lows :
The Chain of Evidence.
That the person of Albert G. Brown
was alive about the hour of G o'clock
on the morning of Tuesday , Decem
ber 7. This being the morning that
the defendant had taken the hog from
the Brown promises to support Its
contention ; that the deceased was
nlivo on this fateful morning , the
state showed that a heavy snow bad
fallen on Monday night , December G ,
that amounted to three or four Inches ,
ind that on Wednesday afternoon the
parties who found the body of Brown
in his cellar , could see his tracks in
this snow where he had been about
during the early hours on Tuesday
morning doing his chores.
A pan full of ashes had been emp
tied on top of this snow ; where he had
dug through the snow in the coal box
to get fuel for the lire ; and that the
body when discovered was fully
dressed , Including overshoes and cap.
The examination of the finding of
the body of Mr. Brown disclosed the
fact that his pockets had been rilled.
It was shown by the evidence that the
murdered man had always carried
large sums of money upon his person ,
as he was afraid of banks.
Saw McKay at Brown Home.
The state also showed by the wit
ness , Mrs. Ed VanKirk , a neighbor
who lived to the south of the Brown
home , and In the same block , that she
had seen smoke issuing from the
Brown home , and In the same block ,
that she had seen smoke Issuing from
the Brown chimney at about 0:30 : on
Tuesday morning. The state showed
by an eye witness , William Woolley ,
that McKay came from the rear end
of the Brown house at about 7 o'clock
that morning , and instead of coming
around and out of the front gate , he
had gone directly north through snow
drifts that were hip deep , and across
the fence on the north of the premises
into the street. Upon seeing Woolley
the defendant told him ho had been
over feeding his hog. Ho had no has'
ket or pail In his hand at this time
The state showed by the party that
had bought the hog from McKay and
the two assistants who went with him
that they went to the Brown hog shed
that morning about 9 o'clock to get
the hog , that the snow about the hog
shed door plainly showed that the dooi
had not been opened that morning
nor had the porker been fed ; and thai
there was no slop bucket about the
shed.
The prosecution also showed that al
no time after the 18th day of October
last year , when the defendant ha <
moved away from the shack in th <
roar of the Brown residence , where he
( McKay and wife ) had been living foi
I the past eight or nine months , had the
I defendant over been seen by any o
the neighbors going over to the Browi
place to feed the hog. The state alse
showed a number of conflicting sto
rles told by the defendant and wife m
to how they came to got the hog fron
Brown.
Aside from the pocketbook contain
Ing the $20 , which was found In th <
defendant's homo , there was als <
found a pocket knife , which wai
shown to have boon Brown's knlfo
and which the defendant In his tostl
mony claimed to have borrowed fron
Brown about a week before the lat
tor's death. The state pointed out 01
this day that , Ioc > McKay was In tin
employ of his brother Alec , abou
three or four miles out In the country
The Jury was out from 4 o'clock ii
the afternoon until 8 in the evening

Won't Move the Bridge.
Spencer Advocate : The Holt coun
ty board composed of M. P. Sullivan ,
Otto Nllson , J. M. Hunter , C. Kramer ,
Anton Prusa , H. D. Slovcst and Sup
ervisors Long , Danker , Hasche , Drown
Post and Anderson of Boyd county
met hero and drove out to Inspect the
Whiting bridge last week. There was
some talk of moving the bridge up
the river to Dodgo'H ferry but after
a thorough Investigation the boards
decided they would leave well enough
alone and not stir up any feeling with
the people on both sides of the river.
Where this removal idea originated
we are unable to state , but was Inform
ed by one of the Holt county supervis
ors that they knew nothing of such
a move until they arrived over here.
Such an Idea Is not practicable at all.
The Whiting bridge has stood the
test , Is on a direct road between hero
and O'Neill nuil accommodates more
farmers than a bridge at any ether
point would. The board drove up the
river to the Parshall crossing where
it Is likely a new bridge will be lo
cated. They need a bridge In the
west end of the county and It is to
be hoped one will be built as soon as
the funds will justify such a largo ex
penditure.
