HASTINGS. Nsb4, March Saturday
afternoon at $50 o'clock as w. w.
Lewis. OF BromAsld, Neb., village Of
200 inhabitants, sat in his butcher shop
reading a newspaper he was startled by
the words: '.You are the man I've
been looking for two or three days
and, glancing up, was confronted by
revolver in the hands of A. J.
Strstton. a bachelor living a mile
south of Bromfeld. Stratton imme-
diately commenced firing, the first shot
taking effect in Lewis breast. passing
into his lungs. Lewis ran out into the
back yard, followed by Stratton, who
fred another shot at the fleeing
man, which took effect in his
back, killing him instantly. The
arrest of the murderer was effected
by the village authorities. A large
crowd of intensely-excited people
rapidly gathered. uttering threats of
lynching. Inside OF thirty minutes
from the termination of Lewis life
band of masked and armed men
marched through the crowd. consisting
of almost the entire population of
the place, to the village Jail, broke
the lock and dragged the murderer by
a rope around the neck to a livery
barn near by, where he was strung
from rafter. No one interfered. The
coroner arrived soon after, cut down the
body, and the regulation verdict was
rendered-"Death by hanging by par
ties unknown" No motive is known
for the murder of Mr. Lewis, who leaves

Henry Nurrs Found Murdered at His
House in Clinton County. and His
Wife Fatally Injursd-The
Assassin Unknown.
FOUND DEAD


DEs MONIES, Ia, March IA
wealthy farmer named Henry Nurre,
living near Brown. Clinton County, was
found murdered Thursday morning and
his wife was badly wounded. The
assassin is unknown Mr.. and
Mrs. Nurre lived two miles east of
Browns station on the Milwaukee road.
Though the murder is believed to have
been done Wednesday the fact was not
known until Thursday morning, when
son-in-law called and found the old man
dead in the kitchen. where he had
been dragged from the sitting-room. A
further search found the aged wife of
the murdered ran upstairs nearly dead
from having been beaten and pounded
while engaged in a conflict with the
murderers. The room was dis
arranged and despatched with blood.
Physicians say the old lady
can not live. Robbery is supposed
to have been the incentive to the deed,
for Mr.. Nurre frequently had large sums
of money in the house. 1t is thought
that none was secured by the robbers, for
q hand-sachel was still in the house
with 81, los in it, which had been col
lected by the murdered man Sunday,
and as the combination to the safe was
broken of, 1t is thought an unsuccess-
full attempt to open it had been made.
Mr.. Nurre is said to have been worth
SIS. 900.

Another railroad in Woods County is
an assured fact. AT meeting of the
directors held in Grand Rapids recently
it was definitely settled that the Port
Edwards, Centfalia & Northern railroad
should be built at once. A preliminary

was so feasible that the directors re-
solved to go on with the work and the
