TWO OTHER CLUES CONSIDERED
Four arrests and a search for a
trail by bloodhounds, which was ot
spectacular interest to hunrders of
residents of Benson, were the fea
tures of investigations of the murder
of James,. Maney made by Sheriff
McShane and Omaha police yester
day. The following men were taken
Into custody in connection with the
investigations:
Charles Daniel, Forty-second and
Redman avenue, a junk dealer. A
revolver, one chamber of which had
been discharged, was found in his
home.
Orville Pryor, 2720 North Sixty
first street, Benson, a carpenter. He
was taken to the sheriff's office by
Deputy Larry Flynn, as the result of
threats which he is alleged to have
made against Maney's life.
It. J. Johnson and his son, Vern,
aged 18 years, who live at 6007
Oretchen avenue. Bloodhounds led
the way from the scene of Monday
night's crime to a barn on their
premises. .
There waa no grounds for suspicion of
Johnson or his son, officials admitted,
except the fact that the hounds followed
a trail to their home, which is situated
three-quarters of a mile northeast of the
iHmgla county fair grounds, where the
murder occurred. At the police station
Johnson and his son protested that they
were Innocent and declared they were
able to account for their whereabouts
Monday night.
Two Other Men Held.
The bloodhounds followed a road for
half a mile, then went through a small
cornfield and circled around to the barn
yard In the rear of the Johnsons' home.
They were allowed to repeat the trip for
three times and each time entered a sta
ble. . . ' '
wnatever trait was lerc by the - man
who killed Maney waa at best difficult
for dog to follow yesterday since It waa
eighteen hours old and many persona had
passed over the vicinity of the crime In
the meantime.
A Urge crowd watched the dogs work.
Scores of email boys crowded to the
front and hampered the efforts of the
aleutha James Hughes, Benson police
officer, was assigned to the task of at
tempting to control the boys, but found
It difficult Typical village "constabules"
topped men who were present on busi
ness and the atmosphere was charged
with excitement. A moving picture oper
ator waa grinding out a few feet of film.
Pryor, who waa detained for question
. lng by the county officials, was asserted
to have declared hla belief last August
that Maney wa; partly responsible for
lila having been ' sent to the Inebriate
asylum at Lincoln. He Is alleged to have
made threats to harm Maney. He waa
discharged from the asylum September 19
and said ha returned to Omaha one week
ago. Ha waa arrested at 2308 J street,
South Omaha, by Deputy Flynn.
Daniel waa arrested after officers had
followed wagon tracks from the fair
grounds to his home. He declared he

QUAIL HUNTING IS
QUITE EXPENSIVE
At Least a Boston Man Fonnd it So
While Out with' Some, o( HU ;
- - Omaha Friend. -
CAUGHT WITHOUT A ' LICENSE
Shooting the festive quail in Ne
braska la a pleasant pastime, but It
occasionally proves expensive.
J. L. Bachelor, a wealthy Boston
man, is one who will testify that
there is more truth than poetry In
the above assertion.
Last week Mr.. Bachelor, in com
pany with W. M. , Burgess, Myron
Learned, Frank Hamilton, Fred
Hamilton and Fred Montmorency,
five prominent Oinahan. went, out
to Benkelman, Neb., to enjoy a few
days of quail shooting. Mr, Bachelor
had heard glorious tales of the excel
lent quail shooting in the Corn
husker state, so a private car was
fitted out and the party started out.
Qaatl Not Coaalderata.
Everything was lovely, although Mr.
Bachelor was heard to complain that the
quail vere -not very considerate toward
huntsmen . because rthey Jlew too high,
until one evening when the party were
enjoying the evening In the private car
following a day of shooting. Then It
happened.
John Holmes of Orleans, Neb., Is deputy
game - warden and therefore represents
the well known law. Mr. Holmes horned
Into the private car party, although he
wasn't invited.
He wanted a lok at the licenses. Five
men were In aight. He was given a slant
at five licenses. All seemed O. K.
But Holmes la foxy. He had soma In
slda Information. "Where's the sixth man
of this party V he. demanded.
No answer. Far be It from the Oma-
liana a Hn.i r m atwlk ......
I that would be deviating from the truth,
but they didn't have to answer If they
I didn't want to.
i So Holmes proceeded to Investigate the
car. and he discovered Bachelor secreted
In clo"et-
The I3oston man confessed he had for-
gotten to take out a nonresidence license.
So the cruel. Holmes took Bachelor In
charge, yanked him before a Justice at
midnight, and the Justice proceeded to
charge the Boston man SiiO.30 for shooting
j live quail. The scale waa determined by
astessments of I JO for hunting without a
license, i for each quail plugged and
111.30 costs.
This all happened last week, but didn't
leak out until Holmes made a visit to
Omaha and let slip the news..

BKRLIN, Nov. 9. (By Wireless tt
Sayvllle.) Capture by the Germans
of the main Serbian positions south
of Kralievo was announced today by
German army headquarters. In the
capture of Krusevao by the Germans
7,000 Serbians were made prisoners.
LONDON, Nov. 9. The central
powers and the Bulgarian ally now
control about two-thirds of Serbia
and within a few weeks probably will
lave the main Serbian railroad, run
ring through Delgrade and Nlsh, In
full operation. This will give them
two routes to Constantinople, as
communication by war of the
L'anuhe to Bulgaria la already open.
That this has not been accomplished
without weakening the other fronts
Is Indicated by definite news of Rus
sian advances on the Riga-Dvlnsk
frontier, the last part of the eastern
battle line on , which the invaders
kept up anything in the nature of a
definite offensive.

that the Anglo-French forces are making
their presence felt against the Bulgarians.
The entente allies claim their operation
are proceeding along the whole front
with success, notwithstanding the handi
cap of operating In a difficult country.
It la report od also that the Serbians
holding part of the Macedonian front
have checked the Bulgarians, after In
flicting heavy losses on tiiem. If the
Serbians can sustain the attack for a
short period-the French should bt able
to Join them south of Veloa ,

Ths Russians continue their policy of
sharp and unexpected attacks at various
points along the front The latest of these
attacks, according to Petrograd, conaiated
of three successful assaults, southwest
of Riga, two southwest of Dvlnsk and
three west of the Styr, south of the Prl
pet marshes, where the Austro-Oerman
line was broken In two places.
Except for artillery exchanges on the
