Mi. Curtis had escaped from California

the dispatch is probably true.

MURDERED a FARMER.

Two Tramps Given Shelter Com.
nit a Fiendish Crime.
OMAHA, Nov. 4.-As a sequel of the
tragedy near Weeping Water last
Wednesday, in which Matthew Akeson
lost his life, two men will probably die
at the hands of an lnfuriated mob at
Plattsmouth today. The men whose
lives are in jeopardy are Harry Hill,
alias George Rogers, and John Benweil.
They were last night arrested DIT Lin
coin. and were identified this morning
by Akeson's sons and taken to Platts-
mouth, the county seat of CaSs county.
The crime which they committed was
particularly brutal one. Robbery was
the incentive, and the murdererS were
indebted to their victim for food and
SHELTER.
Saturday two strangers went to Axe
sons place and applied for assistance
Both were able-bodied, and when prof
fered work in the cornfield they ac-
cepted. They were kept at the house
over Sunday. and Monday they went to
work husking corn. AS shuckers they
were hardly phenomenal, and when
tuesday night came AkeSon discharged
them, paying each his wages for two
days. Wednesday they went to Weep
ing Water and bought cheap 3S-cali-
Der revolver. They then disappeared
from the town.
Just after the Akeson family sat down
to supper, the door of the farm house
was thrown open, and into the dining
room stalked the two ex-shuckers.
Throw up your hands," commanded
the one who bought the pistol. His re-
marks were addressed to Mr.. Akeson.
and were emphasized by the presenta.
ton of the new revolver. For some
reason Mr.. Akeson did not immediately
respond, and the pistol was disc harged.
The train arrived at Plattsmouth at
noon. but the sheriff and prisoners
eluded the mob in some way, and what
became of them is not known at this
time. The would-be lynchers are using
every endeavor to locate the men.
Upon the arrival of the train at Ash
land, Sheriff Tighe was notified by tele-
graph that if he brought his prisoners
TO Plattsmouth they would surely be
lynched. As a consequence of this in
formation, the sheriff and his prisoners
boarded the train for Omaha, and the
murderers were safely landed behind
the bars of the county Jail here. Sheriff
Tighe says he will keep the men here
until the mob at Plattsmouth disperses.

He Is Charged With Manslaughter

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The judges at the
preliminary hearing of Lieut.. Nancy,
who killed Capt. Hedberg at Fort Sher-

was one of manslaughter, and the bail

Mrs. Hedberg, widow of the dead Of

Nothing sensa tional developed. United
States District Attorney Milchrist is
inclined to ascribe the killing of He'd
