C'olton for Punishment.
Before this was voted upon Oolton of
York rose to remark that If any member of
the house, had committed anything he
ought to be punished like an ordinary
human Instanter. The house waa Inclined
to defend Its ierrlng members, however,
until someone brought the Information that
Marna S. Poulson waa quite willing to
withdraw his charges. That ended the dis
cussion. Friends of the Eastman bill for a new
agiicultural school at Holdrege xo coat
IIUO.UOC, had suspicions tha tthe warrants
ugalnal Grossman anc Lrf-idlgh were a
scheme by the opposition to defeat the bill.
Aa a matter of fact If the house had al
lowed the two to be snatched from the
tosom of their legislative halls the bill
would have failed, as the deciding vote
stood 61 to 47. H was asserted, also that the
near-arrest waa part of a deep plot to de
teat capital removal, l-ancaster county de
aied both these allegations, even before
they w ere . applied directly to their mem

has done since the sensational kidnaping
In this vicinity a few years ago.
The mausoleum of one of the most promi
nent families of this section of the state
was deer era ted some time between Monday
and yesteroay afternoon. A body la miss
ing from tl-e vault of the family of the
late Congressman William L. Scott.
The discovery was made by two women
walking through the Erie cemetery. The
family was Immediately notified and a
watch was placed In the cemetery at mid
night, after all assurances were made that
the missing body was not In the vicinity.
The firat information to the public CHme
from the family. It is known, however, th.it
the body taken by the ghouls is that of Mrs.
McOollum. a sister-in-law of the late Mr.
Scott. The police believe the body Is be
ing held tor ransom and that the vandals
also Intended to carry away the bodies of
the millionaire and his wife.
Family la Notified.
When the women In the cemeteries found
broken chains and open doors In the man

and owner of the Erie Dispatch, a morning
newspaper. Mrs. Strong notified the police.
The caskets are sealed In a wall, and a
chisel hud been used In breaking the seals
before the metallic box could be carried
away.
This casket was the first one on the lower
tier at the north side of the mausoleum
and directly opposite It on the second tier
is the casket containing the body of Mrs.
Scott, the wife of the millionaire who built
the mausoleum.
The seal on the niche containing the cas
ket of Mrs. Scott was also broken and
when the tomb was examined, It waa found
that thla casket was half way out and to all
appearances was ready to be carried away.
The remains of the millionaire were lying
next to those of his wife, but his casket
was not disturbed. A number of palms
stored in the mausoleum had been broken
down and two other caskets were broken
Into, but no attempt las made to carry
either of them away.
Carried Away In Wagon.
That the casket was carried away In a
wagon la indicated by tracks in the snow
about the mausoleum. The foot prints of
four and In some Instances six men are
discernible about a jsiint where the end of
a wagon might be placed. The wagon
tracks lead to one of the gates of the ceme
tery and these have been followed Into the i

An Italian settlement, near the cemetery
has become an object of scrutiny by the
police and every dwelling is being searched
from cellar to garret, at the command of
Chief Wagner.
