FRANK M. BIEDENBURG, of n,

FRANK NJ. BIEDENBURG, of Noble
county, Ohio, returned home late
one night last week while the men,
bers of his family were soundly
sleeping. He entered the room
where his wife and child were sleep
ing, and with an ak, by one blow the
skull of his wife was crushed, and
the little boy received blow across
the throat by the sharp edge Of the
axe, which almost severed the head
from the body. He passed into
another room occupied by Mrs.
Stephens, her child and the hired
girl. He killed Mrs. Stephens and
child by blows with the poll of the
ak. At this point the hired girl
awoke, and in trying to make her
escape was knocked down and left
for dead, but subsequently revived
and gave the alarm to the neighbors,
who made search for him, but he
was not found until morning, when
he was discovered in an old tobacco
house with his throat cut, but not
sufficiently deep to prove fatal. He
was taken to Caldwell and placed in
the county Jail.

THE United States circuit court
decided a case last week affecting
the title of thousands of acres of
land in this state. The parties to
the case were Knavals VS.. Blakely
and others, decided Oh demurrer in
favor of the plaintiff. The questions
involved arise out of grant of land
made by congress to aid in the con-
struction of the St. Joseph & Den
yer railroad, which was to run from
Elwood in Kansas via Marysvil'e TO
a junction with the Union Pacific or
any branch thereof, which condi-
ton, it was claimed, was broken,
and that the B. 81 M. was not a
branch of the u. L. road. 1t is said
that this decision affects the title 10
$4,000 acres of land in Nuckolls
county alone. Thayer, Lancaster,
Seward, Clay, Jefferson and other
counties are affected in the same
way. The plaintiff in the case de-
cided claimed title to the lands in
controversy from the railroad, while
the defendants claim under the gov
ernment. The decision will serious
ly affect the farmers in the counties
named. 1t is presumed they will
have some rights in equity.

THE case of Kenward Philip
charged with the libel of Gen. Gar
field, in connection with the Morey
Chinese letter reached a decision
from Chief Justice Davis on the 18th
inst, the judge holding that no
newspaper had the right to publish
as genuine any forged or false in
strument. The Morey letter is a
forgery. and the editorial article
calling Garfield a liar is libelOus.
Judge Davis concludes his decision
by saying that the evidence in the
case also tends to establish a great
conspiracy concerted, or at least
abetted by men in high station in
life. The question of their actual
guilt will be left to jury of their
countrymen to decide. Philip was
held to bail to answer the charge.

GLEN. KIMMER, a young lad at
Lincoln the. other day, stepped into
a neighbor's to borrow a gun and in
taking il down from the rack or
after it got into his hands The gun
which was heavily loaded was dis
charged. the shot striking Poppy
just over the right eye, carrying
away portion of the scalp, break
ing the skull and entering the brain
blood and brain oozing from the
wound. The number of sad acci-
dents which occur almost daily from
the careless handling of fire arms
ought to put everybody OF their
guard in handling such dangerous
articles.
