of trouble. Tho stream had automatically

Mr. Johnson put on his waders and went

eight rounds to cut In ahead of tho spool of

said tho spool would hold Its own. Other
lads arrived by various means and took a

was a hot favorite, and young Johnson, In
asmuch as tho show was being pulled off
In his kttchon, became reckless and was
willing to back tho spool against the field,

Mrs. Clnrkson, widow of Hlshoti Clarl:
son of tho Episcopal church, has put on
font a movement which will result In tho
construction of an annex to C'larkson hos

tho bishop. According to the plans, which

will occupy tho lot botween tho present
building nnd tho Presbyterian church. ThU
lot Is Mxl23 feet and tho building Is to

tho emergency hospital and tho wards for
the adults. As soon as It Is completed tho
present building will bo used as the homo
of tho nurses nnd as a children's hospital,
tho purpose for which the Institution was
originally Intended.
Mrs. Clarkson expects to expend nt least
$100,000 on the nnnex. nnd of this sum n

IKH0RN TRAIN ROBBERY THWARTED

I)rtcrniln.
Officials of tho Klkhorn railroad In this
city arc authority for the statement that
tho killing of Uavo O. Luso by Fred M.
Hans, deputy United States marshal, details
of which were given In a special dispatch to
Tho Dee from Alnsworth, was part of a plan
to nip a proposed train robbery In tho bud.
It Is understood now that tho attempted
arrest of Luso was to thwart a plan to rob
an Klkhorn train and that tho horso-shoot-
lug churgo mentioned In tho warrant was
merely a ruso to get tho lender of tho gang
out of tho way before the crlmo could b
executed. Huns, besides being a united
States deputy marshal, Is also chief of de
tectives of tho Klkhorn system.
VIctlnt'M Unit Iti'iMiliilliiii.
Luse, whoso cattlo ranch is In Ilrown
county, Nebraska, near tho Niobrara river,
was a desperado of peculiar daring, It Is
alleged, and for fnoro than ten years has
terrorized tho law-abiding citizens of Ilrown
and surrounding counties by his acts of vlo
Icncc. It is said that ho has been guilty
of nearly every crlmo on tho calendar.
Many of his outrages were wanton and
seemed to be prompted by no raotlvo save
to Injure tho property and persons of his
neighbors. The shooting of seventeen head
of horses belonging to an adjoining ranch
comes under this head.
Though theso atrocities aroused great
Indignation, ho has never been brought to
Justice, na ho trained with a desperate
gang of thugs, which Invariably saw him
out of hlB dimcultlcs. It was with this
gang, the railroad ofllclals say, that he hail
planned to hold up nnd rob nn Klkhorn
train.
Tho plot was discovered by William II.
niiquetto, known as the "tramp detective."
who was in Urown county working on an
other case, ono In which Luso was sus
pected of appropriating railroad property,
Duquette had succeeded In enlisting tho
good graces of Luse. I)y pretending to be
a tramp, willing to work for his board and
lodging, and by his ready wit and dare
dovll courago ho won tho respect of tho
outlaw and was permitted to go and come
as ho pleased.
It was whllo exercising theso privileges
that Duquette learned that bigger game
awaited hltn than ho had anticipated.
l)uiiipMr la mi Dharncr,
Ho observed that Luse and his puis wcro
spending considerable tlmo on the right of
way of the Klkhorn road, and that they
loafed about a certain cut between tho
tnndhllls, on cither side of which the road
curves so that the cut Is out of sight of en
gine crews approaching from cither direc
tion. Ho observed also that a red lantern
had recently found Its way Into tho tool
house of the ranch. Ho overheard scraps
of conversation which convinced him that
tho desperadoes contemplated holding up
the enstbound express, due In Alnsworth at
0:15 p. m.
Duquette then notified the ofllclals at
Omaha and the sending of Hans to Brown
county was tho result.
liana Ti'lla of Hlioolltiit,
Deputy Marshal Hans arrived In Omaha
last night on tho Klkhorn train, but re
fused to discuss the plan which It Is said
Luse had formed to hold up one of thu
Klkhorn passenger trains near Plum creek
In Brown county, but he tnlkcd freely
about his meeting with tho desperado.
"when 1 went up there on some other
business," said Hans, "I found that Du
quette had some valuable Information which
would aid me. He had worked up a good
case against Luse and the authorities be
lieved they could sond tho man to the
penitentiary for tho shooting of seventeen
head of horses on the Jones & Sellers
ranch. Sheriff Currlo refused to serve the
warrant and tho attorney, the Judgo and
the sheriff camo to me with tho request
that I sorvo It, tho latter saying that Luso
had forbidden him to over come on his
place agnln under penalty of his life.
"I told them I would do it. With J. H.
Hill, who had been deputized by the sheriff
to assist me, nnd W. II. Duquette, the
tramp detective, I drove to the Luse plr
In tho ranyon along the Niobrara rlvi ,
about eighteen miles north of Alnsworth.
The house nestled back In tho canyon and
could bo enslly defended. When wo were
within about three-quarters of a nillo 1
mounted a horse wo had led and went on
ahead. The men wcro to keep watch and
como to my rescue when they saw me lead
Luso out.
"I rode right up to the door before Luso
saw me, so wo met In tho doorway. When
ho acknowledged that ho was Luse I told
him that I was a United States marshal
and had a warrant for him.
"'A warrant, eh? What for?'
"We sat down and 1 read the paper over
to h'lm carefully. Ho sent his boy, about
Id years of age, up the gulch to summon a
woman he wanted to see bofore ho went
nway. and sent his girl, about 12 years old,
after his hoots. He then began to wander
from room to room, making the pretext of
dressing. I followed right at his hoeli.
There was n good gun in every ono of tho
four rooms and I remarked upon the num
ber of them. Ho tried to be pleasant about
It, but I could sec that tho devil was In
him. Ho took his vest off something In tho
corner of the room. Later ho went to that
same corner for his coat Ho had been
there before and I did not suspect that he
wns up to a trick going there tho second
time.
I. liar (irnlia n (aim.
"Quick as a flash ho grabbed a pump shot
gun from that coat and us ha aimed it at
me ho worked the lover, throwing a shell
Into position. 1 saw the first move he
made and rushed on him, at tho samo time
throwing open my coat and pulling my
revolver. Ills gun was leveled at my chest,
when I went under It nnd with my left
hand grabbed for hltn. Just barely catching
hold of his vest.
"Spry as a cat ho Jumped backward fully
llvo feet nnd tho gun was again aimed at
mo with his finger on tho trigger. When
I grabbed at him I Intended to strike him
down with my revolver. My gun was still
In tho air, so, as it camo down, I shifted
my hold to tho trigger. I gavo him two
shots. He looked straight at me nnd It
seemed ns though ho had changed his mind.
Then he staggered forward to the floor.
"Tho llttlo girl was In the room, but
when tho shooting began she ran out. 1
rode back to where tho men weie anil we
told tho officers and tho coroner of what
I had done, Thoy wanted to bring tho
body to town, but I Insisted that tho peo
plo seo him In his homo, Just where ho had
fallen.
"Tho coroner went out to tho house In
tho gulch nnd hundreds of people gathered
from all over that part of tho country- A
Jury whs Impaneled and tho two children
gavo their testimony along with mine.
Tho Jury exonerated mo from any blame,
saying that I had killed him In self-defense
and In the discharge of my duty as au
officer."
Charles C Hughes, general biipcrlntend
ent of the Klkhorn railroad, stated last
nlgbt that Hans had secured absoluto proof
that Luse had culled to his aid two men
from other parts of the country who wero
remaining In the vicinity of Alnsworth
without visible means Mupport. Through
ono of these men IttTJ1 leaked out nnd
thus reached the offjtws of the oompnny
that Luse had plannHwo rob one of tho
Klkhorn trains at V!?W creek, whero the
train Is compelled to stop before crossing
the bridge.

For some reason or another tho members
of tho council failed to get together last
night, although ull four members were
present. It wns agreed that a quorum
should be broken nnd It was. The trouble
seemed to be over the possible appoint
ment of two members of the council to
serve until the next annual election. s
only four members of the lounrll nnd the
mayor constitute the legislative body of the
city at this time It Is easy to realize thnt
there Is a deadlock on In the matter of ap
pointments. Johnston wants to be ap
pointed, so dot s Clifton, Vnnsant and
others and this is where Mayor Kelly comes
In for his share of grief. The mayor has as
serted that he will not make any appoint
ments until he is sure of the confirmation
of his appointees.
After another secret session, lasting oor
an hour, tho council adjourned until noon
today and It Is expected that nt this time
tho appointments will be made and con
firmed. The mayor Is being hounded from plllnr
to post by applicants for the two positions
ho has tu give out and It Is really uo won
der that ho took to the woods last night.
When the council actually gels down to
bunliKMs thcro Is any amount of matters of
Importance to tnko up. The bond proposi
tion, tho library scheme and a dozen other
topics which must be discussed und voted
on. The real hard work of tho council will
hardly commence until nfter tho appoint

until next week.

FRANKFORT, Ky April 10. Kx-Oov-crnor
W. O. Bradley, who was chief counsel
for cx-Oovcrnor W. S. Taylor In tho guber
natorial contests beforo the legislature last
year, gave sensational testimony this morn
ing In tho trial of Captain Harnett I). Ulp
ley, who Is charged with conspiracy, with
others, to bring about tho murder of Wil
liam Oocbcl.
Mr. Uradley detailed a conversation which
ho said he had with Captain Itlplcy while
tho latter was In charge of his mllltaiy
company during the occupancy of tho stale
capital by tho Taylor troops lust spring, in
which Itlplcy told him of frequent con
ferences with Governor Taylor prior to tho
assassination. The witness said that lllp
ley told him he was In the executive office
tho day before the shooting and complained
to Taylor because he had not called out
his (Ripley's) company, and asked him
when ho should have tho conipony ready.
Taylor replied:
" 'My Ood, haven't you brought them yet?
Gbcbcl will not live twenty-four bonis,'
or 'cannot live twenty-four,' 1 forget
which ho said," declared witness.
Judge W. II. Vost, nesoclnto counsel with
Uradley In tho contest case, according to
tho witness, was present nnd heard t lie
conversation. In rcsponso to n question
as to whether ho (witness) heard of any
conspiracy to kill Mr. (loobel the witness
stated that on January 23, the day the
tralnload ot mountaineers arrived, someone,
ho could not now recall who, told hlni
that parties In the crowd were waiting
In front of the state house to kill Oocbel.
Would I'rolrrl liorlirl.
"I said." continued the witness, "it shall
bo stopped. I will go into the somite cham
ber and come out with Coebel and sco that
he Is not hurt or Insulted. I looked up and
saw Wharton Golden and told hlni to get
Flnlcy, Cttlton and others nnd send them
to me. Ho said: "(loebcl Is not going to bo
hurt. Cultnn and Flnley told mo It was n
fako and that there wus nothing in It; they
condemned violence as I did."
"Why did you send for Culton, Flnley und
the other men?"
"Hecnuso I thought they knew the moun
tain men."
Tho witness was turned over to the de
fense. Tho defense asked witness If he
knew anything of any connection of Ripley
with theso occurrences. Governor Drndlcy
said Ripley had none bo fur as ho knew.
Asked If Ripley's company had not been
disbnnilcd nt this time, witness said ho
thought It was disbanded about that time.
W. P. Thorne was noxt cnlled. Asked If

" Dr. Greene's great Ncrvura blood
and nerve remedy is the sovereign
remedy which comes under mv cog
nizance as a boon to ncrvc-tlred,
overworked humanity. If voti are
troubled by dyspepsia, catarrh,
fainting, or sleeplessness, I would
advise voti to try it."
As a nation we are hard workers, Many
of us do not realize how hard we are work
ing until something gives way. Or. CIreene's
Ncrvura blood and nerve remedy is a per
fectly natural aid for overworked men and
women. It always helps them, because it
keeps the r.erve.s normal, no that the stom
ach works all right, and one gets the full
benefit of food, which is the basis of all
physical and mental strength. Then
through Nervura's influence you get perfect
re-st at night, and wake in the morning fully
refreshed and ready for work. Dr. (lrecnc's
Ncrvura always helps nervous people.
