Brooding over the decree of the district court, which separated him from his wife and son, until he was driven insane, Anton Bauer laBt night went to the rear of the residence occupied by them and killed him self.

EVIDENCE IN BROGIt MlRDER CASE Fatber and Son (Innrrellno; Shortly Before Finding; of Body. GENEVA,' Neb., April 7. (Special.) The following witnesses testified in the Broer case today: Dr. Fltzsimons, county coro ner; Dr. R. Wood, Peter Eggenberger, Sheriff Page, and Isaac Steele of Ohiowa, undertaker. Frank Theobold was the prin- ipal witness for the state. He found father and son quarreling while in a buggy on the road Just before the old man's death. Mr. Eggenberger made an official plat of the ground and testified to Its correctness. There Is talk of having the body exhumed for examination. Old Mr. Broer was found on the ground, having fallen from the buggy, and the de fence will endeavor to prove that his death was caused by the horse stepping upon his head. When Mr. Theobold left him he was lying on the south side of the road about eight feet from the fence, blood and false teeth with rubber plate were found nearby. When he returned a short time after with help the body lay several feet northeast f where he left him, where it seemed to have been dragged head-nrst near the middle of the road, and nearer the buggy. The finding of the teeth seems to be an important point and the question is whether they belonged to the dead man or not. Plnttamnuth Elks Elect Oflleers. PLATT8MOUTH. Neb., April 7. (Special.)
