pTHER 8IDB OP HERRING STORY
SVest'Pelnt People Give the Brothers

WE8T POINT. Neb.. May ll.-(Speclil )
-The articles which have appeared dur
ing the last few days In the state press
purporting to give a description of the
Herring brothers' home In Keya Paha
county and of their conduct and reputa
tion contained so many exaggerations
that the correction of the same Is asked
by the cltlsens of Cuming county and of
KVest Print In particular.
The three Herring brothers, Harry,
Prank and Elmer,, are the sons of the
former Mrs. Herring, who some years sgo
tnarrted X. J. Crellln, police Judge of
this city and Justice of the peace for
giany years. The boys were brought up
bn a farm In Cuming county, owned by
their mother, between this city and
eemer, and were always noted for their
good behavior and studious habits. Their
Stegrlty has never been questioned In
is community. Their mother and step
lather have the esteem of everyone and
fcre counted among our best people. In

weatern correspondents, they are mild
mannered, Inoffensive farmers, all of
them much below the medium height and
weight. Harry, the eldest, attended col
lege for some years with a view of en
tering the ministry. The other ' two
younger boys attended the public schools
of this city for many years and went
west with their elder brother to engage
in stock farming. Harry resides some
thirty" miles west of his brothers, on the
line of Keya Paha and Cherry counties,
and was visiting them at the time of the
raid. They have been pursuing a peace
ful existence as stockmen for some ten
years and enjoy the respect of their neigh'
stretching far to the southwest of Naper,
Instead of a fiat and monotonous prairie
stretch nig far to the southwest of Naper,
the fact Is that the country la very rough
and broken. The house occupied by the
two younger brothers Is of stone with
eight windows snd a glass door; no btlnds
have ever been placed on. the windows
nor has a lock ever been affixed to the
door. They own cattle, hogs and chickens
and do sufficient farming to supply their
needs, and have lived In all respects as
their neighbors of Keya Paha county,
All the firearms In the house were two
ordinary shotguns. When the brothers
were awakened early In the morning of
the raid by the demand of the posse
they were very much surprised and
asked to see the warrant for their ar
rest. This not being forthcoming, t5ey
naturally felt like resisting what they
considered a lawless proceeding. But few
shots were fired; the, boys merely sur
rendered to superior force.
Later It was found that the specific
charge against them was the receiving
of a span of mules, a wagon and a buggy
which had been stolen from parties tn
Howard county on April 23 last, and which
had been driven or had strayed onto the
premises unknown to the Herring broth
ers. They were taken to St. Paul. How
ard county, and had a preliminary hear
ing before Judge D. Smith of that place
and were admitted to bail.
Elmer and Frank are now with their
mother In this city and Harry has re
turned home to look after their property.
The affair has been the source of great
grief to the rged mother, whose health
Is very frail. The entire community are
watching the progress of this case with
great Interest.

Speakers for Roosevelt Clotv.
The executive committee of the Roose
velt club met last night snd completed the
list of speakers that will address the
meeting to be held the night before the
state convention. May 18. Besides Hon.
John L. Webster, who will be the principal
speaker, these others will talk: Congress
man Burkett, W. Ie. Andrews of Hastings
and H. H. Wilson of Lincoln. Music will
be furnished by a colored glee club. The
business to be transacted by the club Is
the election of officers and the adoption of
resolutions preparatory to assisting In
bringing about the nomination and election J
of President Roosevelt. The club will pass
out of existence upon election day.
Board of Equalisation Taken Rest.
The State Board of Equalisation this
morning held a three-minute session to
discuss the matter of casting up on the
evidence before it for the assessment of
the railroads. There were no speakers
present and the board concluded to rest
until Friday and then listen to the car
men tell of their troubles in order to hava
the bulk of the talking done before the
real work begins. These car companies,
of which there are considerably over 100
making returns, have listed refrigerator
cars at between 1200 and 1400, which It Is
unlikely the board will take as conclusive
evidence of their value.
Jn the meantime the board members '
show the effect of the strenuous life of the
last two days owing to the extended argu
ments presented, and one of the members
remarked that he didn't believe the speak
ing would do any good anyhow, as the
board had the returns of the roads and
could cast them up without the assistance
of the railroad advocates.

State Treasurer Mortensen has Issued a
rail for May 14 for warrants to the amount

to the state treasurer all the money they
had on hand that belonged to the perma
nent school fund. In the temporary school
fund at this time there Is $382,000.

No Stomach Dosing, Jnat Breath It.
At this season of the year, catarrhal
troubles are very prevalent, and nearly
every person suffers to a certain extent.
Catarrh Is actually the result of a suc
cession of colds and can be easily pre
vented If the proper treatment Is followed.
Hyomel Is a natural yet scientific cure
for the -colds and grip, troubles that lead
to catarrh, as well as a positive cure for
the disease Itself.
The balsamic air of Hyomel breathed
through the small pocket Inhaler that
comes with every outfit Is filled with germ
killing and health-giving qualities that pen
etrate to the minutest air cells of the head,
throat and lungs. It kills all catarrhal
germs frees the mucous membrane from
poisonous . microbes, and makes a perfect
and complete cure of catarrh.
The complete outfit costs only $1, while
extra bottles of Hyomel can be procured
for 60c. Sherman & McConnell Drug Co.,
corner 16th and Dodge Sts., Omaha, sell
Hyomel on the "no cure, no pay" plan,
and will refund the money If It fails to
give perfect satisfaction. You take no risk
whatever in using Hyomel. It Is the only
treatment sold under a guarantee of this
nature where a leading local druggist
agrees to return the money If the treat

Its Ufa
While they were climbing the hill near
Union, going at the rate of thirty-five miles
an hour, Mulvihill noticed ahead on the
track what he' thought to be a bundle of
rags. He called the attention of the fire
man to It. and he was of the same opinion.
It was growing dusk, and they could not
see plainly, but the train was slowed down
In anticipation of Something else.
When they got closer, and while the train
was still going at a" fair speed, they saw
that It was a little child playing rn the
track.
The emergency brakes were put on, and
for fear the train could not be stopped In
time. Cannon crawled out on the pilot to
pick It up.
The child stood up as the train drew
near, but did not know enough to get off
the track. It stood there with one foot
Inside the rail and watched the engine
come one. Cannon reached down Just as
the train got to It and picked the baby up
before the engine could be stopped.
It was taken to a house near the track
and handed to Its mother, who expressed
her thanks to the trainmen.
No Trace of Boy.
After two weeks of hard work, the police

men standing as guards for the robbers
around the house.
There was one revolver tn the building
and this was fired at one of the men until
the shells were exhausted, but apparently
without effect, as he returned the fire ajid
continued to shoot after the residents of
the house were without ammunition.
While this fusillade was In progress the
cashier of the bank was called up by tele-
phone and notified of the trouble. He re
sponded by bringing a number of armed
men, but by the time they arrived the rob
bers had driven away In a wagon which
stood In the middle of the street during
the fight and tn which they are supposed
to have come to town.
After the arrival of the cashier It was
seen that the men had come determined
to take the funds of the bank. They had
first tried to gain entrance to the vault
through solid masonry with pick and ham
mer. Finding this impossible, they had
broken the combination lock of the vault
and placed a charge of dynamite, which
completed the destruction of the lock.
The Inside safe they had failed to pene
trate and the money of the bank Is intact,
although papers In the vault had been ran
sacked. There Is no clue at this time to
the robbers.
