Among the Indictments returned by the recent grand Jury was one against Charles Campbell , the former school teacher In Oar- nor township , charged with seducing a 15- year-old girl named Nancy Wnde , one of his pupils. Campbell for several months past has been cmplojcd as a conductor on the motor line , but his present whereabouts are unknown , as ho left town when he learned the grand Jury was Investigating his case. Last Tuesday morning , two hours after ho had taken his car out , ho telephoned the superintendent to send a man to relieve him , which WBB done. Campbell failed to report , however , or turn In his money and Is supposed to have left town. It Is thought ono of the witnesses gave him the tip to make himself scarce. Campbell had pre viously been arrested on complaint of the child's parents , but Justice Burke , before the preliminary hearing was held , decided that -tho evidence did not warrant binding Campbell over to the grand jury and ac cordingly discharged him. The parents brought the case to the attention of the grand Jury , which promptly returned an In dictment. Campbell IB a married man with Bin oral children.

Lee J Dillon , the Nebraska City man who was ehot Saturday night by O. P. An derson , who mistook him for a burglar , died yesterday afternoon about C o'clock at the Woman's Christian Association hos pital , to which place he was removed about t o'clock yesterday morning , after his wounds had been temporarily dressed at the police station. The wound In the abdomen was mortal , the bullet having passed clear through the , body , and It was only the inan'M strong physique that kept him alive as long as It did. After being taken to the hospital Dillon regained consciousness and toward th middle of the day commenced to sink rap idly. He became delirious at times , but had brief spells of consciousness , during which he admitted that drink was the cause of the unfortunate affair. He real ized that he had received a mortal wound , but did not blame Anderson for doing the shooting. His mother , Mrs. II. R Dillon , and his uncle , George W. Hnwkc , arrived from Nebraska City early yesterday morning and were at his bedside until death came. His father , W E. Dil lon , who wan a prominent citizen and mayor of Nebraska City , has been dead for several years Lee was the only child and his death came as a heartbreaking blow to the aged mother. From the undo It vvns learned yester day that Dillon left Nebraska City Wednes day , September 7 , going to Omaha , but where he stopped In that city Mr Hawko was unable to say. Some three years ago he formed the acquaintance of Irene Trim ble , a joung woman In Nebraska City , who moved to this city some six months ago and has been living at 220 North Eighth street , where she passed under the naine of Mrs. Asliton. Ylnltnl Hr I'r < * iiiiiity. From an Oimilia friend of Dillon's It Is leal ned that Dillon since coming to Omaha made almost dally visits to the > oung woman Ho spent Saturday afternoon and evening with her and about 10 o'clock went to the saloon of Charles Lclbold bn Broadway Lelbold had known Dillon since he was a small boy and perceiving that he was considerably under the Influence of drink refuted to give him any more. This was shortly before the shooting and Dil lon must have gone direct from the saloon back to North Eighth street , evidently In tending to go back to Mrs. Ashton's house. In the dark , and being under the Influence of drink , ho mistook the house and at tempted to get Into Anderson's residence , by mistake. Finding the door locked , as he supposed against him , he started to kick It In and had broken the glass panel In when shot After Dillon was taken to the hospital Mrs Ashton , who luformed the matron and physicians that she was Mrs. Dillon , called at the hospital and asked to be allowed to sco the unfortunate man. Dillon was unconscious at the time and she shortly after left. Anilornoii IN Under Arrmt. Anderson , who has been a iwltchman for many vears In the employ of the Rock Island railroad , was placed under arrest after the shooting , but shortly after re leased on $1,000 ball. There are some who are Inclined to criticise Anderson and ex press the opinion that he was somewhat hasty In shooting as he did , but the gen eral feeling Is that ho acted just as nine out of every ten men would have done under the circumstances. He had retired for the night and was asleep when he was awakened by his wife , who told him she heard burglars In the house. Anderson started to leave the room to Investigate when his wife suggested ho had better take hla rifle , which ho kept loaded In his bed room ever since the time his house was robbed a short time ago. On going out Into the hall Anderson was startled by hearing the glass In the front door come In with a crash. Seeing a man at the door he called , as he says , three times to him , but received no answer. He fired three times and at the third shot he noticed the man drop. Both Mr. and Mrs. Anderson were at the bedsldo of the dying man yesterday and did all In their power to console the grief- stricken mother. Mrs. Dillon does not blame Anderson. Coroner Jennings was uncertain whether the facts of the case warranted an Inquest and will not order ono held until he con sults with County Attorney Saunders this morning. As the mother was anxious to take the body back to Nebraska City Dr. Jen nings released It and Mrs. Dillon and Mr. Hawks accompanied the remains homo last night. Lougeo & Lougce have moved to No. 102 South Main street , first door south of Plerco's ehoe store , where they are pre pared to make farm loans at lowest rates. MAHAWA MOTOll CAIl IS IIKM1 UP.

Conductor Will Morris and several pas sengers were held up and robbed by three men , nouo of whom wore disguises , last night on the Manawa motor that left the lake at S o'clock for the city Conductor Morris reslel'cd the demand to hold up his hands and In the struggle that ensued was shot by ono of the desperadoes at close range , the bullet grazing bis nock and cut ting the skin. His face was also badly burned b > the powder. The holdup occurred shortly after the tialn had pulled out from rtie lake Morris was robbed of about $37 , while from the passengers the robbers se cured several geM watches , a couple of diamond mend rings and some money.

Two of them took scats on one side , while the other sat on the opposite scat , alt three being close to the door. Scat tered through the other three cars were about t'ncnty passengers , most of them Omaha people. As conductor Morris entered the car and asked the men for their fares the tallest man of the three pulled a revolver from under his vest and thrusting It up under Morris' nose ordered him to hold up his hands. Morris has the reputation of being a fighter and he sustained It on this occa sion. Instead of complying with the de mand he grappled with the fellow and the two rolled over on the seat together. Mor ris , who Is a strong , muscular young man , was gel'tlng the best of his assailant when the fellow fired his revolver point blank In Morris * face , the bullet grazing his neck. Then the two other men Jumped upon Mor ris and between the three they managed to hold him down on the seat. They then went through his pockets and relieved him of every cent he had. The other two men , as soon as they had Morris down on the seat , also opulled out revolvers and held them to his face , order ing him to keep quiet or they would shoot to kill. Morris yelled for help , but his volco was drowned In the noise of the train. Whllo two of the gang held guard over Morris the tallest of the three went through the other cars and robbed the pas sengers. From one woman he took a gold watch and a pair of diamond earrings and from two other passengers watches and whatever money they had In their pockets. One man who had $113 In bis pocket jumped from the train when the robber with his gun In his hand entered the car. All the passengers robbed were from Omaha and their names were not learned last night , as on the train reaching the city they at once took the cars for Omaha. When the holdup commenced the train was just passing what Is known as Ray's Landing. As the train neared Twenty-ninth avenue the man who bad gone through the cars holding up the passengers returned to the car In which his two companions were keeping guard over Morris and the three jumped from the train , running cast and soon disappeared in the darkness. As none of the men were disguised Con ductor Morris was able to secure a good de scription of the men. All three were dressed In dark clothes and appeared to be young men , not one of them in Morris' opinion being over 25 years of age. One of them was carrying a small satchel slung by a strap over his shoulder and It Is Morris' belief that they had this with them for the pur pose of carrying the proceeds of the rob bery. As there was a big crowd at the lake yesterday the robbers evidently expected to make a big haul. Fortunately Morris had turned in his money once In the afternoon , otherwise the robbers would have secured a much larger sum than they did. Morris , despite the fact that the blood was running from the wound on his neck and that his face was badly burned , continued on his run until the last train was brought in. Morris had left his revolver at home yes terday and was consequently unarmed when ordered to hold up his hands. Had he had his revolver with him he believes the rob bers would have had a different tale to tell. Our opening of fall millinery goods will bo held Monday and Tuesday , September 19 and 20.

SAM ) IIII.I , l.AKK I.ITICATIO.V. riuiioun Contra * < * r y ( lint rfltmt IK- De cided by Iowa Court * . SALIX , la. , Sept. 18. { Special ) The animated conflict over the ownership of Sand Hill lake bed Is still dragging along In the district court. There arc about twenty different suits pending. The title of the case In which the principal fight Is being made Is W. L. Ogden against W D. Buckley ct at. Ogden alleges that he Is the owner of the entire lake bed , but Buck ley and about twenty others each contend that they are the riparian owners of differ ent parts of the tract. Sand Hill Is situated In Lakeport town ship , a few miles southwest of the town of Sallx. It contains In all about 1,000 acres of land. The fact that It Is called Sand Hill lake does not make It a lake , for as a matter of fact only a little water exists at ono end of the tract and the rest Is dry. It Is true that In a wet season some water will be found In parts of the tract , but It runs off quickly. The question for the court to decide Is whether It a lake bed , swamp land or rcltctcd land. Ogden al leges that It was swamp land and on the other hand the owners of adjacent property , who are the defendants In the cases , aver that It Is rellctcd land. In the early days of the country this land was designated by the state as swamp land and so surveyed. Under the swamp land act the state , which was the owner of such lands , gave the bed to the Sioux City & Pacific Railway company to aid In the con struction of Its line. Years after that the railway company gave Ogden n deed to the property and he at once took possession and asked the court to quiet his title. Then came the defense on the part of the people owning adjacent lands. These men alleged that they are entitled to as much of the land as Is Included In their property lines , which protrudes Into the former body of water. The conflict has been bobbing up off and on In the courts ever since the first case was filed and so far only a part of the testimony In the case of Ogden against Buckley has been taken. When this Is finished the cose will come up for final dis position so far as this court Is concerned. If the courts find that the land was right fully designated as swamp land then the state had the right , It seems , to deed It to the railway company , which In turn could convey It to Ogden , hut , on the other hand , If the court finds It to be rellctcd .land , then under the Iowa statutes the property owners adjacent to the land In question arc the owners of that portion Included In their lot or section lines AS land Is taken up all around It would leave nothing for Ogden , as the property lines all meet. If the court finds that It Is a lake bed and neither rellcted nor swamp laud , then It remains the property of the state of Iowa , which has not sold Its lakes or lake beds. Illlllllllft to SoldllTH.

( Special. ) April 26 the governor requested sheriffs and mili tary officers to ascertain the number of able bodied men willing to do service and to hold them for a call for troops or for re cruiting. Many did so at considerable ex pense and later the state sought to avoid the expense. Lieutenant Point and Lieuten ant Reed of the Fifty-first recruited and held thirty men at their own expense and the state refused to reimburse them. They carried the matter to the attorney general who has decided that the state is in equity bound to pay as much as would an In dividual and eays It should not resort to a technicality.
