tofson boys and other neighbors, was
fishing in the lake when the accident oc
curred. His body was recovered In a
few minutes and every effort made to
restore him to life, but to no avail. Young
Kropp has relatives living near Emerson,
where the body will be buried.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Aug. 2.-(Special.)-Most of
the forenoon was taken up this morning
before the governor on an application of
the governor of Iowa for a requisition
for William Boddy, held in custody in
the city of Schuyler for wife abandon
ment. Mis. Boddy, accompanied by the county
attorney of Buena Vista county, Iowa,
was present, while the defendant was
represented by Attorneys Dalzell and
Button of Fremont. Boddy was not
present, being in Schuyler.
According to the hearing Mr. and Mrs.
Boddy had both been married before and
had children. They lived on a farm near
the town of tSorm Lake, la. Everything
went along smoothly until the conduct
of Mr. Boddy and Mrs. Trum, who lived
near them, became such that the husband
of Mrs. Trum sued Mr. Boddy for dam
ages and secured a judgment of $3,000
against the man Boddy. Then Mr. Boddy
proposed to his wifethat they sell the
farm and come to Nebraska and thus
keep from having to pay the judgment,
which was agreed to. The farm was
sold and under instructions of Mr. Boddy
his wife wentto Minnesota to visit rela
tives, Mr. Boddy agreeing to send for
her as sojn as he got located. As a pre
caution for the safety of the money
received from the sale of the farm they
both cameto Omaha and deposited It and
then erturned and packed the household
goods not sold with the farm.
Manner of Leaving; Iowa.
Giving Mrs. Boddy a small sum of
money, the amount of which is in despite
money, the amount of which Is in
despite, Mrs. Boddy claiming it was but
$'.'5, while he in his affidavit says' It
was $50, she departed on her visit, but
testified that with but one exception she
never received but one letter from her
husband up to the present time and
that she has been compelled to work
out as a domestic in order to suppor
herself.
Attorneys for Boody set forth that, in
asmuch as both Mr. and Mrs. Boddy
had disposed of their property with the
idea of leaving the state and had left
and had not returned, that they were
not residents of the state of Iowa at
the time of the alleged desertion and
therefore the slate had no hold on him.
The attorney for Mrs. Boddy ad
mitted that they had both left the state
of Iowa, but contended that Inasmuch
as Mr. Boddy had deceived his wife into
the belief that he was sending her to
Minnesota and would send for her as
soon as he got settled In Nebraska, and
had not done so, and furthermore, that
since coming to Nebraska had with Mrs.
Trum most of the time, was sufficient
evidence that the crime of desertion took
plate, when he sent his wife to Minne
sota with tie evident intention of de
serting tier.
Governor Aldrich denied the requisi
tion on' the'-grounds 'hat as they had
both left Iowa of their own free will,
with no intention of returning, no cromo
had been committed in Iowa as far as
desertion was concerned. He condemned
Boddy strongly and intimated that he
ought to be sent up on general prin
ciples and surely should have been prose
cuted in Iowa for adultery. He advised
Mrs. Boddy to apply for a divorce at
once and ask for alimony.

MANUEL, BULL M00SER,
THINKS POPS ARE DEAD
JOHNSON FARMER ATTACKED
BY A SAVAGE BULL
TECUMSEH, Neb., Aug. 2.-(Special.)-Peter
Brauer, a farmer living east of
Tecumseh, had a terrible tussle with an
Infuriated bull, and it is almost miracu
lous lhat he was not killed. With a
neighbor, J. H. Brillhart, he' had been In
the pasture singling out some cattle. The
job over, Mr. Brillhart started for his
home, but had gone but a short distance
when he heard Mr. Brauer calling for
help. It seems the bull had charged on
h'm, striking him in the buck. The bull
has no horns, but he Struck Mr. Brauer
a terrific blow and knocked him to the
ground. Mr. Brauer had no stick, and
the bull knocked him down the third time
and was trying to grind the lite out of
the man with his head. Mr. Brauer sue
ceeded In getting hold of the animal's
tongue and nose, and, in this way could
ward off some of the aimed blows. Upon
seeing the predicament, Mr. Biillhard
realized he had to act quickly, and he,
too, did not even have a stick to fight
the animal with. He ran into the pasture
and attracted the bull's attention and
the animal went after him. Mr. Brill
hart ran to the fence and got out of the
bull's way. He ' continued to take the
animal's attention until Mr. Brauer got
onto his feet. He was taken home and it
was found that no bones were broken.
Mr. Brauer was terribly shocked and felt
the effects of his rough encounter for
some little time.

said C. B. Manuel, superintendent of
the Kearney Industral school and a
former state chairman of the populist

"I do not know," said he, "It seems

anything and 1 do not look for very
much from that source anyway."
