His House.
Ainsworth, Neb., Nov. 9. (Spe
Via! Telegram.) Word has been re
ceived here from Winner, S. D., to
which place Robert Ferguson is said
to have driven his two sisters-in-law,
'aura and Effic Culbertson, a few
days before the fire which destroyed
His farm home near Lone Tine, that
w the girls are still in Winner and
I have assumed the names of Baxter
It had been rumored that the girls
lst their lives in the fire on the
1'erguson home under peculiar cir
cumstances. Long Pine, Neb., Nov. 9. (Spe
cial.) Robert Ferguson, farmer liv
'ng sev.n miles north of here, has
I'een held in $1,000 bail for investi
cation into the burning of his home
October 26, when two sfsters, of his
wife, Laura and Eftie Culbertson,
Hot Springs, S. D., disappeared.
Ferguses was extremely nervous
when being examined by the county
attorney. His wife refused to leave
the room during the hearing and si
lenced her husband several times
i hen he was on the point of speaking
more freely.
Ferguson's trial has been set for
November 29.
Corncobs, believed to have been
soaked in gasoline, were found in
the ruins of the fire by a special de
tective, according to information in

... I I... l
Investigation into a fire in the
Ferguson home October 20 revealed
a pile of corn cobs in the attic
scaked in gasoline, according to an
' othe' detective.
The second fire on October 2';
was discovered while Ferguson am.
his wife were working in a corn
field. It , consumed the house.
Neighbors arrived too late to ex
tinguish it and while fighting the
flames encountered a locked door
to one of the rooms. This led them
to connect the disappearance of Mrs.
Ferguson's sisters with the fire, and,
ti express the belief the sisters had
been burned to death. When a
brother of Ferguson said he had tak
en the sisters back to Dakota, a
search was instituted.
