A mURDERER,s AWFUL WORK.
After Committing An Outrage He Kills Five Persons To Cover Up His CrBFna

Kills Five Persons To Cover Up
 His Crime.
 OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 5.-The supposition now is that the wholesale murder in Nance county on Monday was committed by H. A. G. Baird, a young Englishman, for whose capture reward of s1 1000 is offered. The number of victims are now supposed to be fve-Harry G. Percival, Mrs Percival, her child, Hugh Mair and - FurnivaI part ner of the latter. The theory of the murder is that Baird, who was living with Percival, wbile the latter was absent on Monday trans acting business in Fullerton, first outraged Mrs Percival and then killed her and her child to hide his perfdy. Subsequently he lay in wait for Percival and killed him on his return from Fullerton, and thus obtained the means for flight. Percival was shot twice. and the body was found near haystack in the yard with Q coil of rope he had brought from town beside it. The $500 he drew from the bank was, however, missing Mair was next smothered to prevent his telling of the tragedy, which he had discovered by a visit to Percival's house short time after the oc- currence. Mair lived with his part ner, Furnival, half a mile away, and Baird is next supposed to have gone
 
 for his partner. The theory respecting the killing of Furniva1 is that he tried to escape from Baird by riding off on horseback, but | that the latter, who is dead shot, brought | him down at long range. The body, how ever, has not yet been found, though pc culiar smell noticed about two miles from | the house, is supposed to emanate from the body, for which posse is engaged in search | ing the woods.
 | Baird has been traced by Sheriff Zibbel, of Nance county, to this city. He purchased a | ticket in Fullerton on Tuesday morning, and
 it is supposed took passage here for New York city as soon as he arrived here, with the intention of returning at once to En- gland, of which country all the parties con- l cerned are natives Baird is a bright look | ing young man, with smooth face except 1 ing mustache. He is passionately fond of | playing pool, but does not drink much. The 1 father of Mrs. Percival, who resides at Fari-
 bault, Minn., passed through this city last
 night en route for Nance county.

Rl.-zoysa ali Gu Lawyer.

By s~'blarney" is usually understood fluent
power of persuasion-the faculty to stalk
over" a person to ones own way of thinking
by good words, often containing more fiattery
than truth. An apt illustration of it is re-
lated by an old Western lawyer, as a joke ON
himself, in some "reminiscences of his early
practice. The incident would make a curious
appendix to 'Betsey and l are Out" bringing
laughter in the place place of tears. The nara
tor says
| was sitting in my Office one day, when in
stepped an Irishman whom I will call John
Wood, of Union County, and told me he
had been recommended to me for sound couIl-
sci in an important case. He had arrived di-
rectly from Cork, ireland, only a few years be-
fore, bringing with him his wife and several
children as far as Hamilton County, Ohio,
where by pure accident he and his ''ould
woman" had somehow got separated, and had
not lived together since, and his business with
me- was to employ me to file a bill for a divorce
in the Union Circuit Court. The fee was
twenty dollars, which he agreed to pay, and
left.
Immediately fledth the bill, andhad the notice
published in the paper foTko9 next term. The
old woman accidentally saw the advertisement,
and thereby found out for the first time where
the man had stepped after he had left her. and
ruftfu ufrScty over 70 tine OLD mans residence.
The whole matter was soon reconciled between
them.
Soon after this settlement, the old man called
at my Office in fine humor.
sMisther Smith, the ould woman an meself
'av made up!p
Indeed! Well, | am very glad of it You
are both too old to separate.
