Mysterious Death Of a Prominent Spring.
view, Neb,, Citizen.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN MURDERED.
Hut He Wa Generally Liked aud was Not
Known to Have an Enemy In
Existence Some of the Is
Theories Advanced.

SrRtNGvIEw, Neb., Jan. a.-iSpocial Tole-
gram 20 Tue BEE. A. NJ. Culver, one OF the
most prominent citizens in this county, was
found last night noar his residence with his
skull crushed. -
Early in the day he had gone out to got u
load of wood. Not returning IN the evening,
neighbors began u search for him. His body
was discovered at the foot of n tree on which
he had evidently been chopping.
Just back of the right. car was = wound
made by some blunt instrument, from which
the brains oozed.
There is no solution OF the affair. The
theory Of murder is not regarded as plnus-
IDLE, as the dead man stood high in tho
esteem of tho people of this locality and was
not known to have an cuony ii existence.
The affair is rendered more mysterious IN
view of the fact that tho surroundings and
the location of the wound which produced
death could scarcely have accidentally oc-
Cured. #
Tho deceased was one OF the pioneer citi-
sens of Nebraska and very influential.

President Grecnhut of the Wh isky Trust
Talks for Publication.
PEORIA, ILL.,, Jan. 9.-Presldent Greenhut
of the Distilling and Cattle Feeding com
pany tonight told a reporter he did not
believe the language credited to District At
torney Milchrlst, where reference was made
TO fighting the antitrust distilleries. He
considered they were after the rebate branch
of the business, and as this was one of the
essentials of the company's business he did
not care to see it disturbed. Continuing he
said:
SIN my judgment we ara not violating the
law in carrying on our business as we do. |
am free to confess that l do not relish any
such unequal combat, for the reason that
there is a popular prejudice against
any corporation or Institution which
combination. Naturally enough, courts
and juries are influenced by these
popular prejudices. What | dislike more
than anything else is that the case is to be
brought first before a grand jury, whore
only one side of the case is heard and whore
we can hope for no favor or show, The liti-
cation also keeps the company for the
time being before the people in an untavora-
Bile light"
MIR. Greenhut could not understand tn e
object of the people in Atlanta who had
written the letters and were referring the
rebate certificates to the district attorney.
These certificates had never been presented
for payment, so payment had never been re-
fused, and he considered that they were act
ing in the interest of some one else who de-
sired to get the company in a law suit with
the government. For his own part he did
not relish the idea of defending this case ia
the United States courts; still, IL must be
fought, for the rebate system IS one of the
vital business interests of tho company and
the issue must he carried to a decisive point.

For earache put little of either black
