AUBURN MYSTERY NOT SOLVED
Woman in Mark" la Shot at Man?
Times, but Continues to
Prowl.
AUBURN, Neb., March 23. (Special.)
The mysterious "woman in black" con
tinues to make her nightly appearances on
the streets of Auburn, scaring men, women
and children alike by her weird appearance
and strange actions. Bhots are frequently
heard which have, been fired by some one
who has been confronted by the queer
npparltlon. Borne of the young folks take
the matter In a less serious light, and have
played practical jokes based on the "woman
In black" mystery, and these have caused
considerable sport for those Interested. It
is the general belief that the "woman in
black" la probably some young man himself
playing; what he deems a practical Joke,
and some of the cltliens have vowed that
if they catch him they will teach him a
lesson that will put an end to his practical
Joking for the time being. They look on it
as small business for any one to prowl
the streets at night In this kind of dis
guise. There la serious danger that some
Innocent person moving about the city may
be shot and killed some dark night by
some person whose fears override their
good reason.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, March 23. (Special.) The
claims committee has settled for this ses
sion and probably for all sessions the
claims against the state by reason of the
death of one Ooedde of Sioux county,
whose land was supposed to have escheated
to the state because he had no relatives
In this country. The committee rejected
all claims. This report it made to the house
this morning and It went farther and re
quested the attorney general to institute
disbarment proceedings against Allen Q.
Fisher and recommended that a record of
the claims as dug up by the committee
and a record of the proceedings before the
committee be filed with the secretary of
state for the benefit of future legislatures.
The report contains a letter from Attorney
General Thompson hodllng that there hns
never been a valid claim against the state
In this case because the Goedde heirs under
the treaty with Prussia had a right to sell
the land and there has never been fixed
a time limit when the sale is to be made
by the state.
Report of Committee.
The report of the committee Is as fol
lows:
Your committee on claims, having had
under consideration the claims of Herman
Kaup, attorney in fact for Albert Goedde
and Maria Hllrten, for ll.&oo for the ap
praised value of escheated land of Herman
(Joedde, deceased. In Ploux county, Ne
braska, and having subpoenaed and exam
ined a large number of witnesses, whose
testimony was reduced to writing, submits
the following findings and recommenda
tions: 1. Herman Ooedde, a resident of Sioux
county. Nebraska, died Intestate at the
Hospital for the Insane at Norfolk, Feb
ruary 23, 1899. At the time of his death
he was the owner of the north half of the
northeast quarter and the north half of
the northwest quarter of section 119, and
the east half of the northwest quarter and
the east half of the southwest quarter and
lots 1, 2, 8 and 4 and the west half of the
southwest quarter of section 3", all In
township 35 north, of range 64 west, of
the sixth principal meridian, and the east
half of the southwest quarter of section
2f, In township 36 north, of range 66 west,
of the sixth principal meridian. He left
no heirs In the United States, and his sole
heirs at law were Maria Hllden. a sister.
of Hleltield, Westphalia, Prussia, and Al
bert Ooedde. a brother, of Buren, West
phalia, Prussia.
1 Albert Goedde and Maria Hllden ap
pointed Herman Kaup of West Point, Neh.,
attorney in fact to settle the Nebraska es
tate of their deceased brother and trans
mit the proceeds to the heirs In Prussia.
In executing his trust as attorney in fact
Herman Kaup counseled with John H.
Llndale, an attorney at law of West
Point, and with the letter's advice ap
pointed Allen O. Fisher, an attorney of
Chadron, Neb., to transact all business
necessary to a full and complete settle
ment of the Goedde estate in Sioux county,
Nebraska. For compensation for his ser
vices Allen G. Fisher was to receive all
funds realised In excess of $1,000. A secret
agreement between John H. Llndale and
Allen G. Fisher required the latter to pay
one-third of his compensation to Llndale.
8. Under sections 70, 71, 72 and 73. chapter
Ixxlll, Compiled Statutes of Nebraska, the
alien heirs of Herman Goedde, deceased,
were prohibited from inheriting his real
estate In Sioux county. Nebraska, but a
treaty between the United States and Prus
sia contained the following provisions:
"Where, on the death of any person hold
ing real estate within the territories of the
one party, such real estate would, by the
laws of the country be prohibited from In
heriting the same by reason of alienage,
such cltlsen or subject shall be allowed a
reasonable time to sell the same and to
withdraw the proceeds without molestation
and exempt from all duties of detraction
on the part of the government of the re
spective states."
Appraisement Is Chanared.
4. February 23, 1900, the county attorney
ot Sioux county filed In the district court
thereof, on behalf of the state of Ne
braska, a petition describing the Goedde
lands In Sioux county, alleging the heirs
were nonresident aliens and praying for a
decree escheating to the state of Nebraska
the real estate of which Herman Goedde
died seized. In violation of the treaty
rights of the Prussian heirs this suit was
presented under the Nebraska statutes,
which deprive nonresident aliens of the
right to Inherit land In Nebraska. April
16, 1900. Allen O. Fisher filed for the Ooedde
heirs In this suit In which he failed to as
sert the treaty rights of his clients to sell
their land and remove the proceeds, but
admitted the truth of the allegation of the
petition and Joined the plaintiff In a prayer
for the decree escheating to the state of
Nebraska land which the ITusslan treaty
permitted the Ooedde heirs to sell without
molestation. October 3, 1900. the district
court rendered a decree that the Ooedde
land In Sioux county had escheated to the
state and directing the county treasurer,
county Judge and county clerk to appraise
the same.
& f tctober 10. 1900. the land was appraised
at $1,500, and the appraisers filed their
formal appraisement in writing In the dis
trict court, the sum being In figures only.
Afterwards the figure one was feloniously
Inserted before the figure five, and after the
figure one In the appraisement, and the
amount thus fraudulently and unlawfully
raised so as to appear to be $U,5u0, Instead
of 11.500.
The actual value of the land st the time
of the appraisement was shown by the
positive testimony of two of the appraisers
to be $1,500. The original appraisement was
before the committee, and the forgery Is
apparent. The evidence did not show who
committed the forgery.
6. Allen G. Fisher, for the Ooedde heirs,
filed with the auditor of public accounts a
claim against the state for $.01 for the
value of the Goedde lands in Sioux county,
and caused the same to be presented to
the legislature for allowance during the
session of lflul. This claim showed the ap
praised value of the land to be $H,0u0, and
was verified by' the oath of Allen G. Fisher
that it was a valid claim against the state.
The legislature of 18ol rejected the claim.
7. On February 8. 1H0. Allen G. Fisher,
for the Goedde heirs, filed with the auditor
of public accounts another claim against
the state for the value of the Goedde land

A writer on Pneumonia, Bays: "A
main difficulty Is that no one can tell
whether or not a given 'cold' will ulti
mately travel to the deeper parts ot
the lungs. Thus It happens that no
cough, soreness of chest, chilliness or
other evidences of even slight catarrhal
troubles can be trusted these times.
"There can hardly be a doubt, how
ever, that the prompt use of proper
remedies for the preliminary 'cold'
may often save the day."
If "Seventy-seven" Is taken in time,
It prevents the development of a Cold
or Grip, hence prevents Pneumonia.
"Seventy-seven" also breaks up a
neglected Cold, that hangs on Grip.

Fisher Buys Land and Claim.
8. Allen O. Fisher did not Inform the
Ooedde heirs In Primula of his doings In
their behalf, but In 1!S offered to buy their
eioux county land and their claim against
the ttate of Nebraska for the price of
f:i50, and sent them a deed conveying their
title and Interests to him. This deed was
duly executed In Oerniany by the Goedde
heirs and sent to the First National bank
of Chadron with a letter directing the bank
to iellver the deed to Allen O. Fisher upon
payment of the purcnase price oi mis
deed was received by the First National
bank of Chadron November 23, 1906, where
It remained until Hunday morning, March
3, 1M1. On that day Allen (1. Fisher paid
the bank o, received the deed and on
Monday, before the money had been sent
to the Goedde heirs in Germany, caused it
to be garnlsheed and retained In the bank
at the suit of his wife. After the cashier
of the bank had been subpoenaed to tes
tify before your committee, the garnish
ment was released and the '. sent to
Prussia to the Ooedde heirs.
9. Not knowing that the Goedde heirs had
sold their Interests in their brother's estate
to Allen G. Fisher, and believing that the
claims filed by Allen G. Fisher were ex
cessive, Herman Kaup, attorney In fact
for the Goedde heirs. In good faith filed
his claim aKuinst the state for 1.50, the
appraised value of the Sioux county land.
Herman Kaup employed F. D. Hunker, an
attoi ncy-at-law of West Point, Neb., to pre
sent to the legislature bis claim for H.iuO.
This claim wus tiled for the benefit of the
Goedde nelrs In an honest effort on the
part cf the attorney In fact to execute liift
trust; ami tho employment ami services of
V Hunker materially aided your com
mittee in blinking out the testimony on
which those rtiKlings are based.
10. These flrulings and a transcript of
the evidence adduced before your commit
tee were presented to the attorney general
with a request for his opinion as to the title
of the staLe to the Sioux ccunty land of
which Herman Goodde died seized, and a
to the validity of the several claims
ngalnst the state for the appraised value
there-jf. In response to this request the at
torney general submitted an opinion In
which ho holds that there is not now and
never has been a valid claim against the
suite, as under the treaty with ITuaela
Uw alien l.elrs had a light to sell the land.
Recommendations of Committee.
Your committee therefore recommend:
1. Thut all claims against the state of
Nebraska for the value of tho Sioux coun
ty land of Willi h Herman Goedde, died,
seized, be rejected.
2. That the evidence adduced before your
committee, together with this report and
the opinion of the attorney general, be
