Sequel to the Murder Rumors.
Pierce , Neb. , Oct. 28. Special t
The News : It appears that on las
Tuesday night at the Munson home
where the digging and hunting fo
the body of Ole Munson was carriei
on , that Henry Boumlo appeared upoi
the scene himself and pointed to th
very spot where ho said Munson'
body was burled. At the time the ol
fleers arrived at the place the Mur ti
son family were in bed and aslee
and were overwhelmed by surprise a
the statements of the officers tha
they had come to dig up the body c
Ole Munson. They told the officer
to dig anywhere they pleased , an
after they had done so at the plac
that Boumlo pointed out , and foun
nothing , they let the matter rest unt :
further developments. The Munso
family don't appear to bo scared , bi
appear to be heartbroken over the a
fair. Thursday it appears that the ;
became angry over the matter , bi
cause they had their attorneys , O. J
Splllman and M. H. Loamy , file a pi
tltlon In the district court of Pierc :
county and bring suit for $25,000 , th
amount for damages which they claii
they sustained by reason of the a
leged slander of Henry Boumie. . '
appears that Nellie Boumie , a slate
to the three boys and a daughter e
Ida Munson , who appeared as plah
tiffs In the case , started a dlvorc
proceeding against Henry Boumlo i
the district court over two montl
ago , and in that cnso she seeks to s <
aside deeds given by her husband 1
her brother a day or two before the
were married. The Munsons no
claim that Boumio's conduct towai
tliem is an effort to influence Mr
Boumie to drop that cnso and uncovc
-his property. Ole Munson is said I
bo in Canada in a hospital.

Sympathizing with Senator La Fc

republicans who he declared wer
giving the democrats great aid , Wl
liam Jennings Bryan reviewed tli
work of the populists and progres
Ives for the past twenty years , befoi
a largo audience in the Norfolk Ai
ditorlum Friday night. The andicne
which was composed of many loci
democrats and numerous women wli
md roiuu to hear Mr. Bryan speak ,
hecretl and applauded every tlinu
Mr. Bryan mnntloncd achievements
if the progressive republicans , which
10 declared helps the democrats to
the end for which they uttlvu.
Dan V. Stephens , who was also
scheduled for an address hero Friday
night was called to Fremont from
Wayne.
Mr. Bryan spoke at Wayne Friday
afternoon and was accompanied to
Norfolk by ex-United States Senator
Mien , whom he highly complimented
lo his audience ; Judge Win. L. Stark
of Aurora , Judge J. R. Dean of Brok
en Bow , both candidates for supreme
judges ; Clarence Herman of Hold-
; e , candidate for state railway com
missioner ; Joseph Oshorn of Battle
Creek and ex-Senator F. J. Hale of
Norfolk , who acted as platform chair
man during the meeting.
Mr. Bryan spoke In Minneapolis
Thursday night and at Stanton and
Wlsnor Saturday. Monday he Is sched
uled for a two days' visit In Kentucky
and Wednesday he speaks In Kansas.
Not Out for President.
Mr. Bryan will not be a candidate
for president again , If his statement
during the course of his address
stands good.
" 1 never felt as good as I do now , "
he said. "If I felt any better I don't
know what I would do. I am not goIng -
Ing to bo a candidate for president
for many reasons. Ono of them Is
because one president uses ono part
of my platform and another uses the
other part of It. Why should I want
to bo president If I can get men to
do my work for me ? "
si In telling of the great assistance
the democrats are getting from the
progressive republicans , .Mr. Bryan
said :
"Progressive republicans and the
statulpat republicans will go hundreds
J of miles to hit at each other. I don't
jknow how many progresslvo republl-
cans there are in Nebraska , but Gov.
' Aldrlch 90 of tlio
says percent roptib-
! Menus are progressives and 1 hope
he Is right. "
In further compliment to the pro
gressive republicans , a subject which
L took up the major part of Mr. Bryan's
address , he declared that three great
J reforms were accomplished by the
democrats with the aid of the progres
sive republicans the change in the
place of electing senators ; the step In
purifying politics and the permitting
of justice in taxation. In expressing
J himself on La Follette , Mr. Bryan de >
dared that ho would bo glad if the
i j republicans nominated him for presl
dent.
"I sympathize with La Follette , '
J said Mr. Bryan. "Misery likes com *
pany and I know what he is ur
against , because I have been there
myself. "
Discusses Steel Trust Suit.
"When I am in Washington I am as
i much at homo among progressive re
publicans as I am among democrats , '
said Mr. Bryan.
Before his address Mr. Bryan was
asked for his opinion in regard to the
, snltjust filed in Now Jersey to dis
solve the United States Steel corpor
atlon. He was glad to see the suil
commenced against the United States
Steel corporation. Ho thought il
should have commenced ten yean
ago , but the fact that It is a suit ii
equity instead of a criminal prosecu
tion , he declared , shows that eithei
the president recognizes that the antl
trust law is now worthless as a crim
dial law or that he does not want tc
punish big criminals. The public wil
now understand the meaning of the
decision in the oil and tobacco case :
nullifying the criminal pact of the lav
by inserting the word "unreasonable.1
"I believe in criminal punlshmen
of those who violate the anti-trus
law , " said Mr. Bryan. "But I believi
that the supreme court decisions ii
Standard OH and tobacco cases maki
,
it practically impossible to punisl
trust magnates criminally and satisf ;
that which was the purpose of thi
ir' ( decision and that the court was pack
ed to secure such a decision. "
After the reception held on tin
stage of the Auditorium , Mr. Bryai
went to Senator F. J. Halo's residenci
a '
where he was a guest during thi
night. He and his party left hero ii

Hugo Koch Coming Again.
Hugo Koch , who already has a larg
number of admirers in Norfolk , whoi :
ho won when he appeared here as th
f star In "Tho House of a Thousan
Candles , ' two years ago , will rotur
to the Auditorium Tuesday , Nov.
( next week ) in a powerful play thn
lias set the whole country talking-
"The Servant In The House. "
Mr. Koch has become a star of firs
rank and has delighted New York an
Chicago In his new play. Prices , 50
to $1.50.
During the run of "Tho Servant I
The House" In Chicago , the Chlcag ;
Record-Herald published an editorlr
under the caption , "Things Wort
While , " In which the writer made th
following reference to Charles Ran
Kennedy's famous play.
"We cannot close these remarks o
'Things Worth While' without refe :
once to that play which is supreme !
worth while , 'Tho Servant In Th
House , ' now in its final fortnight : <
Powers theater. An extract from a
church ( whose name wo are not no :
old clergyman of the Presbyteria
milted to disclose ) will indicate ho <
much Mr. Kennedy's drama means t
people.
"I have been a minister In th
10 Presbyterian church for more tha
forty-nino years , and have gone" t
the theater but few times In my llf <
I confess I have been greatly dli
SB gusted with the stage as representc
af In the newspapers. I read the Recon
Herald's review of the play , 'The
Servant In The HOUBC , ' and thought i
they \vero quite extravagant. I read ;
the book and my daughter persuaded
me to go to see the play. I did not
suppose that a man of my ago could
go through such a powerful emotional
experience.
"When a student of theology in
Union Seminary , New York , I had
tickets to the Philharmonic concerts.
1 had never heard much great music , ,
and when I heard Parepa Rosa sing |
the great solos in 'The Messiah , ' 1
was affected for days and was com
pletely carried out of myself. About
the same > time 1 heard Henry Ward
Beecher in his glorious prime , preach ,
and had a somewhat similar experi
ence. I do not recall anything like
these experiences until 1 heard 'The
Servant In The House. ' The powerful
picture of the drain-man haunts mo
still. I could not hut endorse his
sending tin1 old bishop to 'hell. ' If
the stage can present such plays It
will become worthy of the name ,
'School for Morals. ' I fear , however ,
this play is a very rare exception.
Pardon me for simply pouring out
myself in a few minutes under the
influence of this wonderful perform
ance1. "

WEARS BROTHER'S PHOTOGRAPH
Los Angeles , Cal. , Oct. 31. Court
convened In the McNamara murder
trial today without visible reminder
that the Los Angeles primary election
was being held and that Job Harriman -
man , one of the counsel for the de
fense , was seeking the mayorallty
nomination. Harrlman was absent ,
but it was said that he would remain
in the case regardless of the outcome
of the primary and final election
All the talesmen were taken out to
vote , except thaso living outside the
city. Attorney Harrimun in his cam-
palgn has denounced the city adminis
tration for voting and paying about
$21,000 from a special fund placed at
the present mayor's disposal for the
services of detectives employed In the
dynamiting cases before arrests were
made , but as these payments stopped
when the McNamara brothers and Or-
tie McManlgal were arrested , it is
conceded that Harrinmn's election can
make no difference in that respect.
