THE OMAHA DAILY I1EE: TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 22. 1903. 3 f NORMAL SCHOOL SORE SPOTS Barnwal cf Talk of Injunction to Bettraln Building at Kearney. BOY KILLED BY FALLING IN FRONT OF CAR Jletboalsts ef Lincoln District Com put. A..4 L.k.r. d A, folilntat Art An- (From a BtaCC Correspondent) LINCOLN. Bept a. (Special.) A move ment, has been started In the west end of the atate to have the next legislature change the present normal school system so the normal schools of the state will be under the direction and control of the Btate university, and to repeal the law enacted by the late legislature for the erection of the new normal school at Kearney. Just iiow far alone; the .movement Is and Just who are at the head of It -is not known here now, but the principal talk comes from Central City. The schema la to bring Injunction proceedings to stop the building of the school at Kearney and thus get the matter in, the court. This, Is to be kept up until the legislature convenes, when It Is hoped by the dissatisfied parties that the law can be repealed and the entire normal school system changed. Information was received Here today that somo kind of proceedings would be started by October S, and that the plans were be ing prepared for a long siege in the courts. It Is not known here Just how strong the opposition is to the Kearney normal, but one member of the board is of the opinion that the suit will surely be brought The first talk of dissatisfaction regarding the location of the school came from Has tings, but some time later it was attempted there to get the citizens to take the bonus they had offered for the normal and endow the Hastings college and allow the normal to go glimmering. . In the meantime Treasurer Mortensen is strenuously denying a report in a St. Paul paper that he had deliberately turned down that town after two members of the board had offered to vote for it if he would. The paper believed that the town should have received better treatment at the hands of the. treasurer, as it la his neighbor. Mr. Mortensen said there was no truth in the report. k Killed by Street Car. Harland Whyman, aged It years, was killed about 2:30 o'clock this afternoon by being strnck by a street car at Fourteenth I and O streets. , He was going north on a blcyclo and as he turned on Fourteenth street and O his wheel struck an obstruc tion and he was pitched In front of a motor car going west. The front of the car struck the boy in the temple, crushing In a large section of his skull, from which a portion of his brains flowed out into the street The car rolled him over and over before it could be stopped and his chest and sides were also badly bruised and crushed. Dr. Speelman, who witnessed the acrl- (Sent rushed to the boy's- assistance, had him carried to the City hospital, near there, and did ell he could to save his life, but the boy breathed his last as he was being placed on the -operating table. The body was removed to the Roberts un dertaking rooms and an Inquest will be held. According to those who witnessed the tragedythe motorman did all In his power to stop the car, but the distance was short and he was unable to do so. Whyman was coming down Fourteenth street at a high rate of speed and in going onto O street turned suddenly to avoid a crowd stand ing therei . ' He was the son ot Mr. and Mrs. Charles Vhy mart 1731 M street;' and was a student 1 at the high school. His father Is in the employ of an Investment company and Is now at Stuart, Neb.

Simon, a convict at the state peni tentiary, la roaming around the country somewhere and Warden Beemer Is again up in the air over the slowness of the con tractors for the new steel cells. Simon was allowed to roam outside of the walla for a little while and he Is still roaming, leaving a year behind him. He had been sent up from Saunders county for trying to take a shot at a tenant with whom he had trouble, This episode, coming close on the heels of the walkout of Wardlow, has caused the penitentiary officials to double-lock every door on the place and get their nerves on edge, for it Is feared that If the convicts Should make a grand rush all together they could escape, as so many of them have to te kept In the large cell room because of f Jte nonarrtval of the other cells.

FAVORITE KOI 01 ME An Orscclttg THF BOWELS POSSE GIVES UP THE CHASE So Tangible Ola to Whereabouts of Mur- dsrei Tom Madiun. THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN NEAR SHICKLEY Farmer gees Man la Cornfield vVh Acts la Suspicions Manner and Answers Description of Madison. HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. a. (Special Tel egramsThe hunt for Tom Madison, the alleged murderer, is apparently abandoned, as all posses have returned and Sheriff Mc- Arthur of Webster county and the Smith county (Kan.) sheriff cannot be located. The fugitive Is still at large and the scene of ac tion la now In the vicinity of Shlckley, where it Is reported that Madison was seen at noon today. Mr. Harris, a well known and reliable farmer who lives three-quarters of a mile south of Shlckley. while en route home from Davenport today, saw a suspicious looking character In a cornfield about six miles south of Shlckley. As the man in the field saw Mr Harris ne ran down into a ravine, where a lone horse waa gr axing, and soon disappeared. Mr. Harris thought the man acted most atrangely, but as hs had not read any newspapers for several days he was not familiar with the hunt for Madison. When he reached home Mr. Harris found among his mall a card offering a reward for the capture of Tom Madison, and the card also gave a description of the fugitive. As soon as he had read the description he was con fident the man he had seen Irr- the corn field was the hunted fugitive, as every Ce- tall tallied exactly-with the person he had seen sneaking through the field, and the horse he had seen In the ravine answered the description of one of the horses stolen from the McConkey farm four miles west of Cowles Mr. Harris drove to Shlckley Immediately to notify the constable of that place, but the officer was out of town and could not be located. Then an effort was made to notify the sheriff from Webster county and gmItn county but nether could be . . . . . . . located by telephone or telegraph. By this time the people of 8hlckley became much excited and arrangements were being made for the organization of a posse, but It soon fell through for lack ot a leader. There does not seem to be any doubt in the minds of the people of Shlckley but the man seen by Mr. Harris was Tom Madison, the much- hunted fugitive. While the foregoing has been taking place apprehension has been again aroused In Cowles that the fugitive Is still lurking In that vicinity. This morning a farmer by the name of Btrubble found a letter In his private box on the rural delivery route ad dressed to Miss Sarah Deason, Mnrtlns- ville, Harrison county. Mo. With the letter was found S cents, evidently for postage. As all the farmers along that road have boxes of their own, the Incident provoked suspicion, especially since Madison ts orig inally from Missouri and has relatives there. Inquiries all along the line failed to reveal anyone who had knowledge of the letter. Many of the Cowles peoplo think that Madison has run the risk of writing to friends In Missouri to come to his as sistance. The address is written In lead- pencil, in vertical hand and course, plainly the writing of a man. NEW CHURCH IS DEDICATED Weeping; Water Methodists Raise the Money to Pay (or Kerr Otrnctnre.

Rev, Worley, the present pastor, has worked faithfully In conjunction with the members for the enlargement ef the building, and the result at a cost of 15.600, iuiiy paid, speaks well for their untiring efforts.

PLATTS MOUTH, Neb., Sept 21.-(Spe- clal.) In the case of the State against John Chambers, Justice Archer this morning overruled the motion of the defendant's at torney to set aside the former ruling of the court and grant the prisoner a prelim inary hearing. The court held that the statute relating to matters of this kind did not authorize such procedure. Cham bers was arrested at South Bend and stands charged with the crime of dallght robbery. At the time he waa arraigned he entered a plea of not guilty, waiving preliminary ex amination, and waa bound over to the dis trict court in the sum of 1500. Since that time the prisoner has secured the services of Judge A. N. Sullivan to defend him. The defendant now seems confident that a pre liminary hearing would result In his lib eration.

After the disposition of these cases the attorneys on both sides for all the equity and civil cases waived their right of Jury, having confidence in the fairness of Judge Jessen. This mark of confidence came as a surprise and caused considerable comment, as it is the first time in the history of the county that so many cases have been left to the )udge. Judge Jessen then discharged the Jury for the term. Little Damage Irons Frost. FREMONT, Neb., Sept. 21.-(Speclal.)
