A Maryland Tragedy.

A YOUNG MANS BRAINS BEATEN OUT BY AN UN-
KNOWN PARTY WHO ESCAPES.
The particulars in a horrible tragedy, enacted
in our sister state of Maryland 30 long ago as
last Thursday, have just come to light. The
facts in the case seem to be as follows
At an early hour on the morning named Will
liam G. Is years old, son Of Rector Pumphrey, a
farmer in Prince Georges county went out into
the meadow to catch his horse, the meadow be-
ing only about Ave hundred yards from the
dwelling. Not returning during the day, great
anxiety was felt for him, and the next morning
search was instituted.
Finally about II o'clock, the missing young
man was found lying in a corner of the meadow,
still alive, though quite insensible. He was then
removed to the house and med
ical aid summoned and although the skull was
fractured in several pieces and the brain oozed
out the young man lived until Saturday when he
died.
How young Pumplirey met his death is not
kn8wn A club, bloody and with matter, hair
and brains upon it,indicate that with this he was
purpose is not known. He liz not
known to have had any enemies.
The most common theory is that he had ordered
q tramp (the country is full Of them) from the
premises, and on his refusal to go scuffle en-
sued which resulted as above. Pumphrey did
not recover sufficiently to give an account Of the
affair.
There il great excitement on the subject
among the citizens of the neighborhood, and
should the murderer be caught it will require
some care upon the part of the authorities to
prevent the people from visiting the miscreant
with inch law.

Desperate.

The Latest Exploit Of xeWstsrs, the
Desperate.
From Sheriff Farbar, who has
just returned from a western tour on
business, we learn, says the Ne
braska City Press, the following
particulars regarding McWaters,
SO well known to our people.
On the 18th of May, the land
lord of q hotel in Hays City, Kan
sas, sent word to Sheriff Ramsey,
that u man answering descriptions
he held, was at his house. While
Sheriff Ramsey van reading the
description, McWaters stepped up
to him and looked over his shoulder.
Sheriff Ramsey looked at him, then
at q description he had in his pocket
and called to Nc, who had walked
away. Nj. came back and Ramsey
arrested him and put him In jail
under his deputy, with injunctions
to shoot him if he attempted to
escape. Mechanics were at this
time putting i'm q cage in the cell,
and were working. The deputy
watched his prisoner and the day
sooR passed away. When night
CAME on No offered the jailOr 500
to let him go back to the hotel.
This the deputy refused. In the
morning while the workmen We're
engaged in working at the cage the
deputy sheriff told them to be care
Ml and shut the door close when
they went out. Shortly afterwards
ons Of the mechanics went out and
closed the door but it rebounded
open. Quick as lightning McWa-
tiers shot through 1t and closed 1t
after him, effectually locking the
deputy and two mechanics in the
cell. He then quietly walked
past the other mechanic out
to where q fine horse belong
ing to the postmaster of the city was
picketed which be rode away,
Sheriff Ramsey VINO was in Els
worth returned home Immediately
upon the receipt of telegram in
forming him of his escape. He
then followed him up into
Furnas county, of this State.
Here he met an emigrant
whom he engaged to arrest him if
he could. The emigrant rode into
camp ON Beaver Creek, and there
tc.ad McWaters. Nc. aga.. es-
capped from here by mounting his
horse and riding away, as the read
ers OF tie Press have already been
informed.

Novelty and Variety Racks.

We have been shown the most
novel and yet the most convenient,
useful and ornamental racks for
books, hats, towels, toilet, music
and clothes ever exhibited in Oma-
ha. Mr.. H. B. Bryant, of Ham
burg, Iowa, has a quantity Of these
goods at sos Thirteenth street. We
learn he finds ready sale for them
wherever offered, and, reslly, they
have only to be seen to be admired,
and used to be appreciated. They
are suspended from the walls by
meal of gimlet hooks. When
not in use. they can be folded up
against the wall out of the way.
A few good, olive" young men
can make large wages by selling
these goods i'm Omaha, as this seems
to be a frst-class invention, and,
we doubt not, will realize the inven-
tor q fortune.

Yesterday morning a motion in ar
acknowledgement in the case of Charles
Ketcham was filed by Mr.. Doane,
his attorney, the grounds OF the
motion being First, that the facts
stated in the first count Of the in
dictment do not constitute an Of
Tense under the law. Second, that
several different and distinct acts of
embezzlement are included in the
first count Of the indictment; and
Third, that the issue presented and
tried by the second count of said
indictment remain ~undisposed of
by the verdict of the jury.
The motion was argued by Mr..
Doane and District Attorney Con-
nell, and Judge Lake took 1t under
advisement, ~intimating that at the
present time he was inclined to
hold in favor of the motion. Should
he decide to grant the motion, it
would end the present n and the
defendant could only be proceeded
against by another indictment.

OMAHA, July 3.
The motion in arrest of judgment
in the Ketchum embezzlement
case was argued by Mr.. Mcconnell

The court took the question under
advisement until Monday evening.
