Satarday evening n
and evidently carefully pliaaad robbery
was committed aear Platte Center. W.
P. Bearley of Shaasrtilnah Iowa, had
aotf adraftstalhoa to John Jamea,Owea
Joaee aad two other man of that aeigh
borhoadaadhad hroaght the horse to
Celnmbsa. Satarday efUraoea ha drove
owt to deliTar the horse which he lsdba
htad his baggy. The price to' be paid
for the horse was two thousand dollars
oae f hfinaaad of which waa to becaah,but
throagh some hatah in arrsagamsata the
as sot asaeptsil aad Mr. Beezlay
Aawat three mike from
PletteCenterrataboutS o'clock in the
eveaiag, Mr. Beezley saya that a man
riding a brown horse came up to him
and, engaging him in conversation, rode
along with him for a distance. The
straager keep striking hie boot with
something which he carried in his hand
as he rod aloag. The next thing Mr.
Besalsy remembers is that he wae re
rived from n state of uuconsciousneas
about aa hour later by a German farm
er who found him in hie buggy at the
tido of the road, hie horse tied to a fence
post and the horse which he had been
leading tied to the buggy wheel.
The farmer brought some water in his
hat aad restored the esasslaai man to
coneetoaanass and took him to Platte
Ceater. He waa bleeding at the nose and
couth when found and since haa had
slight hemorrhages. He had evidently
been struck with a sandbag over the face
and neck, a blow ao powerful a almost
to prove fatal. A pocket book which he
carried ia hie inside pocket waa gone
and with it $67.50. The money waa in
the following denominations: Two $10
bills, nine $5 bills, one '$2 bill and a
silver 50 cent piece. One of the $5. bills
had some red ink on it, and the 50 cent
piece bore the date 1857 and had the
letters W. P. B. carved on it. A paper
on which waa the pedigree of the stallion
waa also carried in this pocket, but
it was found lying in the bottom of the
buggy together with Mr. Beezley V
checkbook. The stolen pocketbook is of
black axorocco leather and has the ini
tiaia W. P. B. writtea on it in India ink.
It was rather dark at the time of the
meeting with the stranger aad Mr.
Beezley is unable to girm a description
of his features, beyond the fact that be
had aboat an inch of beard on hie face.
He rode a dari-colored horse with a
rubber coat tied behind the esddle, aad
wore a light hat with brass buttons
around the band. No clue has been
found which might lead to the appre
hension of t!a robber. Mr. Beezley had
some silver in his trousers pocket which
was not disturbed. He thinks that this
may iadieate that the man who robbed
him knew somethiag about where he
usually carried hie money, since he
apparently went straight to the inside
pocket where the pocketbook was carried.
He also evidently knew that Mr. Beezley
expected to return with the $1000
which he was to receive in part paymeat
for the horse.
When seen Monday by a Journal re
porter, Mr. Beesley still showed marks
left by his asasilsnt There were some
red spots oa his right temple aad eheek
aad the right side of his neck waa still
stiff and sore. He related how the
stranger kept riding up so close to bis
buggy wheel that he requested him
once or twice not to ride into the wheel.
Fiaally he became a little "leery" as to
the intentions of hie new acquaintance
aad moved over to the other aide of the
baggy seat. Tbea for some reason he
looked backward from the left side of
the buggy and thia gave the highway
man, who was on the right side of the
buggy, his opportunity. The right side
of the victims face being turned to the
front gave him full swing with his mur
derous weapon. The article with which he
he keatlappiag hie lag and the rubber
cost behind his saddle ia described by
Mr. Beezley aa being about two and a
half feet long and looking like n rubber
hose. He thinks it was probably a
piece of rubber hose filled with saad or
shot.
Mr. Beesley ia not very hopeful .that
hie assailant may ba Brought to justice.

of the ssate penitentiary waa iacreased
yeaterday by the visit of W. K. Ayres
aad tL Hibberd of Kearaey. to the
polios aaatioav where they aaaae in-
qaeet relattag to what grounds toe
daa waa killed at Hamphrey.
Ayres aad Hibberd were ia the city
oa other hasiaam aad iatsrsstsd them
selves ia this case enough to make in
quiries. From what they learned of
the police they expressed doabt that
the ideatiScatioaof the Fremont maa
is correct.
Information from Kearney indcates
that neither Saowden's father cor
mother were in Lincoln at the- time
aor aear the time that a man is said
to have viewed the cornse, identified
it, aad later paid the expenses of the
beriaL It was said that the body was
never idea tiled by the woman, who
accompanied the maa to Lincoln, and
that the stranger reported to her the
identification of the murdered man,
The body had been taken to the uni
versity aaerfiral scaoot'e dissecting
room when the maa first saw it. but
his ideatincatioB eaased its removal
to the uadertaking rooms where it
waa later viewed by the Chief of
Police Boutzaba. Datectiva Bentley
aad Sheriff Baumaa had held Saowden
ia jail at Fremont at one time, it is
claimed, aad it is claimed, it was
remembrance of the maa that led
to identify the body as that of
Saowden. Comparisons of descriptions,
however, fall short. The corpse was
heavier than it shoald have been to
sally with his description. The chief
diuereace seems to have been in the
face, Saowden being of slim build, not
well provided with flesh, the bones
ia his face ahowiag through in relief.
The murdered man had a round face .
A scar back of the ear, kaowa to be a
mark on Saowdea and incorporated in
his personal appearance record at the
penitentiary, waa also missiag.
Mosari Ayres aad Hibberd ordered a
pibtara of the corpse to show to rela
tives of Saowden in Kearney. They
eTpreosad themselves as very much in
doabt about the dead man being
Saowden.
For some reason those who might
throw soma light on the identity of
the persons paying for tha burial of
the corpse are discreetly silent. An
air of mystery has been thrown about
the case which some of those working
upoa it say saems to be unwarranted.
