William Hunt, a farmer living In Mont
gomery county, allowed his curiosity to
overcome his usual discretion and he opened
letter belonging to another person, with
the' result that the federal grand Jury yes
terday ,-retumed an indictment against him.
The lhdlotfnent charged him with opening
the letter for the purpose of prying Into
the business secrets of ahother. It appears

as to make a copy of It. The copy he
showed to a number of persons, much to
the mortification ;of the reverend gentle
man, to whom It was addressed. Before

in the city last evening for the purpose of
taking the girls away with him. but Chief
of Police Richmond, In .view of certain
statements made by the girls, refused to
deliver them up to him and had an officer
escort them to the creche. The girls, it Is
said. While wayward, are not morally bail,
and they ran away because Rev. Lanlngham
had threatened to place them In the Ulrla'
Industrial school at Mltchellvllle. They
were perfectly willing, they say, to stay
at the ' creche " until proper homes could
be found for them. They made charges

tion. Mr, Lanlngham could not be seen
last night, although It Is known he had a

DISCREPANCIES IN MERRILL'S STATEMENT
On the Olhrr (land Iloye Tell Straight'

Jitter Handle Another
(inn In Ills Life.
Willie Brocker, the Omaha boy held for
shooting Fred Merrill last Sunday, was
discharged yesterday morning and permit
ted to return to his home m-rwi the river.
When the case was called In the superior
court. Assistant County Attorney Hes
moved for a dismissal of the ease without
taking any further evidence beyond that
which had Leen adduced at the coroner's
Inquest.
Since the Inquest Assistant County At
torney Hess had made further Investiga
tion of the case with the result that he
had been led to concur in the verdict of
the coroner's Jury, which was to the ef
fect that the shooting which resulted in
young Merrill s death was due to the acci
dental discharge of the rifte carried by the
boy Willie Brocker.
Dr. M. C. Chrlstensen, who was called to
attend Fred Merrill at his home after the
shooting, while he was not called to give
any testimony, owing to the fact that his
evidence could have been only hearsay,
said yesterday morning that despite the
fact that Merrill had stated that "the boy"
had deliberately shot him, the statement
should nut be entirely depended upon be
cause when Merrill was pressed for partic
ulars he declined to say anything further
or go lito detalln.
The acqulf.il of young Brocker meets
with the approval of everyone who has
given the- unfortunate case any considera
tion and tljp consensus of opinion Is that
the death of Merrill was directly the cause
of an accident. The story told by young
Brocker and his companions, it Is con
tended, was too straightforward to have
been anything but the truth.
Brocker' youthful companions on the
disastrous frog shooting expedition last
Sunday and their relatives were present
In court yesterday morning and a big
sigh of relief went up from them when
the youthful defendant was ordered re
leased and formally acquitted of a charge
which might have wrecked his entire life.
When the two rifles which young Brocker
and Jacobs were shooting with last Sun
day were returned to them Brocker said:
"I am going to throw this gun Into the
river. I never want to touch another,
much less own one. I have never stopped
thinking of the dead man ever since I
have been In Jail and It Is something that
I will never forget as long as I live,"
MXCH MYSTERY ABOUT ARREST
Henry Bernstein of Omaha Charared
with Receiving Stolen Goods.
Henry - Bernstein, a pawnbroker doing
business, at 210 South ' Twelfth street,
Omaha, was arrested yesterday morn
ing and brought to Council Bluffs
to answer to two indictments returned
against him by the grand Jury of Potta
wattamie county. He. was. arraigned and
released on ball of $1,609,.. furnlshsd by
Julius Katelman, a hay dealer of Council
Bluffs.
The first indictment charges Bernstein with
receiving and concealing Jewelry' to the
amount of about SA00O stolen from the res
idence of Mrs. Emma Metcalfe January 19.
1903. The second acouses htm of receiving
and concealing twenty revolvers of the
average value mt $13 stolen from wholesale
hardware store of the Wright-WUhelmy
company of Omaha. The robbery, was
committed December $1, 1901
The indictments against Bernstein were
returned on September 17, and steps were
taken to secure requisition papers. Yes
terday Sheriff Canning of Pottawattamie
county and Deputy ' McCaffery went to
Omaha and arrested Bernstein. He re
sisted, but was hurried away to Council
Bluffs, where, after being detained about
half an hour In the sheriff's office, he suc
ceeded In furnishing the required bail.
Considerable secrecy Is being maintained
at the court house about the indictment of
Bernstein, and the papers in the case are
being kept safely under lock and key in
the safe in the office of F. L. Reed, olerk
of the district court. Absolutely no in
formation as to the evidence before the
grand Jury is obtainable, although in other
Indictments by the same grand Jury no ob
jection has been raised to the testimony
before that body being examined and made
publla
There Is no doubt, however,. but that the
indictment of Bernstein Is the result of an
alleged confession made by Oeorge Burrler,
a convict In the penitentiary at Fort Mad
ison. Burrler was brought here from Fort
Madison and was lodged In the county Jail
while In the city. The authorities make
no denial of the fact that he was before
the grand Jury and that es soon as he
told what he claimed to know, he was
taken, back to the penitentiary.
Regarding the indictment against Bern
stein, in which he is charged with receiv
ing the Jewelry stolen from Mrs. Emma
Metcalfe at her resort In the northwestern
part of this city. In January, 1908, the tes
timony before the grand Jury was to the
effect that Bernstein came to this side of
the river and bargained for Its purchase.
Mrs. Metcalfe placed a value of $1,800 upon
the Jewelry, which consisted of a diamond
brooch worth, according to her estimation,
$6(i0; a diamond pin, $400; a diamond ring,
$100; gold chain, $100;. watch, $100, and a
fur Jacket. $100. It Is snid that the parties
who committed the theft dlspoacj'of the
stolon property on this side of the river to
Bernstein for $286.
As to the charge against Bernstein of
receiving and concealing twenty revolvers,
valued at $12 each, stolen from the whole
sale house of Wright A Wllhelmy, Omaha,
on December SI, 1902, It Is said the thtevea
brought the booty to this side of the river
and concead it In a cache near the water
works reservoir on Broadway, and that
Bernstein bought and received the stolen
goods here. While refusing to give any
particulars, both County Attorney Kill
pack and Assistant County Attorney Hev
stated that they had ample evidence to
warrant the Indictments.
Charles Stevenson, known locally as
"Dutch" Stevenson was also placed under
arrest yesterday noon under an Indictment
returned by the grand Jury last week. He
Is charged with being Implicate! In the
burglary at the Evans Laundry building
on Pearl street on the night of October Is,
19u2, when the safe waa blown open and a
small sum of money secured. While It Is
understood that Steveiuon did not enter
the building. It Is charged that he formed
one of the gang and acted as watchman
on the outside. It Is stated that Burner's
confession brought about the Indictment
against Stevenson, whore bond was placed
at, $1,000, and In default pf which fte was
committed to the county Jail.- Stevenson la
well known to the police. He Is said to
have beeu a pal of Rogers, who waa con-
rioted of the murder of Saloon Keeper
Bert Forney and sentenced to twenty yeais
In the penitentiary.
It Is a well known fact that Burrler, who
was sent up last summer from Clinton for
g trumber of burglaries committed In that
town, In which Rogers was alleged to have
been Implicated; Rogers and another man,
for whom the authorities are said to be
still looking, were In Council Bluffs during
the winter of isoa-t, ' when a number of
burglaries were committed, among the
number being the blowing of the safe at
the Evans laundry and the robbery at the
Metcalfe resort. Other arrests In connec
tion with these robberies are now looked
for.

Robinson Draws One Year.
Harry Robinson, Indicted for numerous
thefts of .clothing and other personal ef
fects of guests tt the Neumayer hotel,
entered a plea of guilty In the district
court yesterday. Judge Macy sentenced
him to one year In the penitentiary at
Fort Madison. Robinson asked that he be
taken to the penitentiary at once, as he
did not wish to be taken there at the same
time as Egbert and Murphy and Wilson,
who were sentenced Wednesday. Since his
confinement In the county- Jail Robinson
and the three other prisoners did not get
along well together and after several lights
they had to be placed In separate compart
ments. Egbert, Murphy and Wilson will
be taken to Fort Madison today by Bherlff
Canning. Robinson was taken there last
night by Deputy Sheriff Groneweg.

NOT HAN WHO KILLED SHERIFF
Man In Anamoaa Prison Not One
Wanted for Murdering Strain.
ON..WA, la., Sept. 22. (Special.) An
other Corns sensation has been exploded.
Sheriff Ed Rowlings of Onawa, who took
two prisoners to Anamosa, returned today,
fully satisfied .that William Rogers, who
was sent up from Delaware county for
three years for shooting a man who was
trying to eut him with a knife, Is not the
Corns wanted for the murder of ex-Sheriff
W. E. Strain in Monona county. The
warden gave Sheriff Rawllngs an inter
view with Rogers, and they talked- for
more than half an hour.. Rogers does not
resemble Corns in any manner except
that he Is nearly the same size. Unlike
the real Corns, he Is very talkative and
anxious to do all the talking he can. Corns
rarely sold a word he could avoid and
the two men are as unlike in looks, man
ner and -speech a possible. Rogers said
that he .had been In Monona county and
waa at Whiting about the time the race
track waa built, and shod some race horses
there. He also shod a horse for Amos
Hellman of Onawa. He knew all the de
tails of the Corns affair, but evidently had
obtained his Information, from the newspa.
pers. The fancied resemblance to Corns
was made by Ben Lukeheart, who used to
live near Castana and who was sent up
for horse stealing from Woodbury county
some time ago. Just what his object was
no one seems to know, but he managed
to impress Sheriffs Jackson and Rawllngs
with his story for some time. The mur
derer of Sheriff W. E. Strain Is sUU at
large and Corns seems to have disappeared
from the faoe of the earth.

Have been suffering from Impure Blood

the best Blood Medicine upon the market.
Cleveland, Tenn. ' W. K. Dbters.
For over fifteen years I have suffered
more or less from Impure Blood. About a
year ago I had a boil appear on my leg
below the knee, which was followed by
three more on my fleck. I saw S. S. S.
advertised and decided to try it. After
taking three bottles all Boils disappeared,
and I have not been troubled any since,

Newark, Ohio, May 23, 1903.
From childhood I had been bothered
with bad blood, skin eruptions and boils.
I had boils ranging from five to twenty in
number each season. The burning ac
companying the eruption was terrible.
S. S. S. seemed to be just the medicine
needed in my case. It drove out all impu
rities and bad blood, giving me perma
nent relief from the skin eruption and
boils. This has been ten years ago, and I
hav never had a return of the disease.

Chronic maladies are due to two
conditions: First, to poor blood and

may look to the blood and nerves for
most of the llnfvrlng ills that weaken,
plague or wreck human kind. This
explains why Dr. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food cures so many diseases
that bear distinctive names. It puts
the blood and nerves right, and
through them the whole system
comes right. This concentrated Food
