Jmm Kelly, aged 43, is wasted by
the Platte county authorities for the
murder of Harry RojeeC hie part
ner, at Humphrey two weeks age.
Sheriff BanavuTs services hare has
enlisted in the case, and he is endeav
oring to secare trace of Kelly, who
disappeared after the murder. A re
ward of $500 has been offered for the
snpposed slayer's arrest and conviction.
Kelly and Sogers, the latter a young
nun of twenty-five, were released front
the Dodge county Jail on March 26,
after serving ten days for vagrancy.
They were arrested together but had
been quarreling while intoxicated.
Two other men were arrested at the
sum time, and all received jail sen
tones. When Kelly and Sogers left
Fremont they went west front here
and a day or two later the state papers
contained news of the killing at Hi
phrey. Neither of the pair
known at that place. Sogers
found lying dead, shot through the
bead. Sheriff Bauman heard of the
murder bat did not then know that
the man who bal been killed was his
erstwhile prisoner. This week he
learned that some effects had been
found on the body which indicated
that Sogers was the victim. The
sheriff went to Columbus yesterday
identified the clothes of the dead
Yesterday afternoon he return
ed to Fremont and went to Lincoln,
to which 'place the body had been
taken. He at once recognized the
dead man as Harry Sogers. While in
jail here. Sogers became acquainted
with a prisoner named Donnelly, who
is quite an expert penman. Don
nelly pen-sketched a number of cards
for Sogers and gave them to him.
These cards were found on the body
of the murdered man at Humphrey,and
this was what gave Sheriff Banmsn his
first clue. One or two cards contain
ed Donnelly's name, and it was at
first supposed by the Platte county
officers that he was the man who had
been murdered. Donnelly is still at
the county jail here, serving a thirty
day sentence, and of course had noth
ing to do with the killing of Sogers.
There is no doubt in the mind of
8heriff Bauman that Kelley is guilty
of the murder. He is known to nave
a bad record and has frequently done
tintein jail. Sogers knew of this,
and Kelly had complained that his
companion talked too much about him.
This was what had caused the trou
ble between them prior fo their arrest,
and Kelly had said he would "get
even.' The quarrel must have been
renewed after their release from jail,
with the result ibat Kelly fulfilled his
threat. Sogers told Donnelly and
the other mon in jail that he had
served a year and a half in the peni
tentiary at Lincoln and was released
from there November 23, last. While
in jail there he behaved well and was
considered a model prisoner. He and
Donnelly took to one another and be
came quite friendly, from the tact that
both seemed to poaess some degree of
refinement that made the companion
ship of the lower grade of prisoners
uncongenial. Where Sogers came
from or where his relatives live is not
known. It is mid that an elderly couple,
supposedly his father and mother,
were at Lincoln a few flays ago and
wenttoseo the body, when the woman
broke down and sobbed in grief. The
couple refused to tell their names.
Fremont Tribune.
Cotrt sTtwt.
fin the district court WrT. 8. Fisher
of Furnas count asks for a divorce
from his wife. Maud, alleging adult
ery, cruelty and attempts to take his
life as grounds therefor. The parties
were married in Iowa in 1896.
In the petition of A. O. Becken vs.
J. O. Graves, filed in county court
last Tuesday by attorneys McKilUp

cover $337.93 for goods sold and deliv

Sheriff Oarrig has of fered a reward
of $400 for the arrest of James Miller,
alias James Kelly, alias Jamos Thomp
son, alias Ed Morrisey, the man sup
posed to be the principal in the Hum
phrey murder. Mr. Oarrig has a
photograph of Kelley whom crime
has certainly asade a hard looker.
Oounty assessor Galley says that the
work of the local assessors is running
along smoothly, little difficulty being
encountered in listing propery under
the new law. He says a surprisingly
large cash valuation is being turned
in. Mr. Galley has the new law well
in hand and makes an interesting ex
planation of the weak and strong pro
visions in it. He says for instance,
that the provision for assessing the
gross income of the local telephone
companies is manifestly unjust, be
cause practically the whole income
goes in salaries to employees who are
assessed again on the same money.
He says, also, that the local assessors
are cautioned against getting together
to agree on what is a fair price at
which to list the various classes of
property. It is the intention of the
law that each assessor shall get at
the actual value of property, governed
only by the circumstances in each case.

Last week the Journal mentioned the
death of Mrs. Scofield, but as friends
here were unable to secure particulars at
that time, we give herewith facts secured
from relatives.
Olive A. Scofield, wife of Richard P.
Scofield, died suddenly at her home near
Stuart, April 12, aged CI years, 1 month
and 8 days.
She had been failing for the past two
years with a complication of diseases.
She was born in DeKalb, St. Lawrence
oounty. New York, was married March
13, 18C2, and leaves besides her husband,
five sons and four daughters, all of whom
are living. Also one brother residing in
New York.
The Scofield family moved from New
York to Columbus in 1868, and resided
on a farm northwest of Columbus until
1900, when they moved to Stoari.
Mrs. Scofield was a member of the
Methodist church and was a christian in
every sense of that word. She was a
devoted wife and mother and leaves
friends wherever she was known.
Fnneral services were held at the home
Thursday, and interment made in the
Stuart cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Scofield, Mrs. George Winslow and Carl
Scofield, all of Columbus, attended the
fnneral.

H. 6. Burt as president of the Union
Pacific railroad last week there was
heavy buying of TJ. P. shares on the
Stock Exchange, which caused rumors
of an effort on the part of the St Paul
system to secure the Harriman con
trol of U. P. Other reports were to
the effect that a community of inter

two systems, which join at Omaha;
and have close traffic relations. Rocke

Philadelphia Bank Merger.
Plans for another big bank consoli
dation were reported at Philadelphia
luring the week, where the Fourth
Street and First National banks were
aid to be on the point of combining
en a $50,000,000 basis. It Is proposed
that the merger will be operated under
the name of the First National. This
was the first bank in the country to
obtain a charter under the national
banking act Both banks have paid 10
per cent for years. E. W. Clark, Jr..
who was vice president of the Nation

Notable failures of the week were
those of Pettingill A Co., the old Bos

fame upon Mr. Roe and his Holstein
cow. The record shows that In seven
days Aggie gave 620.93 pounds of milk
and 2G.87 pounds of butter fat, which
produced 34.32 pounds of butter. The
record for thirty days' is 2,640 pounds'
of milk 110.1 pounds of butter fat
making 137.6 pounds of butter. The
cow has been .valued by the Holstein

four times each day.
Winter's Damage to Fruit.
The pathologist of the department of
agriculture after studying the .effects
of the winter's low temperatures on
fruit trees in the eastern and New
England states reports that the damage
Is probably not more than 10 to 20
per cent of trees killed.. He thinks the
tendency is to overestimate the dam
age, as many orchards in which the
wood Is darkened under the bark may
recover with proper care. Heavy prun
ing Is to be avoided. . J,7'

A very plain spoken Indictment of American standards of dally

Is attracting wide attention. After referring to the recent disclosures
of political corruption In our principal cities Mr. Steffens takes the
ground that corruption Is not sporadic or accidental, but to a part of the
country's business and professional as well as political activities. Edu
cators, philanthropists and professional men as well as bankers and
captains of industry, he declares, are involved In the aystem of cor

a revolutionary process for a new form of government; but finally
