Neb., Wounds a Deputy, but Fails to
Get Its Nan-Bamberger's Crime.
GRAND FORKS, y. D., July I2-The das-
tard Bamberger. who murdered the Kreider
family near Cando, was saved from a
lynching after his capture by lodging his
would-be executors. He is now in Jail here
and confesses that after going to work for
the kreiders last fall lie took a fancy to
Annie Kreider, the eldest girl, and made
improper proposals, but was always baf-
fed in his purpose. The last attempt was
made the night of July 6. The girl resist
ed and cried and threatened TO tell her
father
The Determination of Fiend.
Bamberger determined to kill the whole
family. He went upstairs, shot d. S.
kreider and came down and shot Mrs.
Kreider. The children walked up Then
he shot Mercy. the first child, u years old:
May the next. 9 years: then David, aged 4.
Bernice, aged l3, jumped through the win
dow. The fiend followed and brought her
back and shot her. Mary, not quite dead,
was finished with butcher knife. Then
he ordered Annie into a room upstairs,
where he assaulted her twice and tied her
hands behind her back, tied her feet and
left her there.
Lynching Party Arrives in Town.
The escape of the bastard from lynching
en- route here was not to be the end of the
trouble, for shortly after dark number
of determined men arrived here from Can
do, y. D., and were followed by an i'm
mense crowd and by 10 O'Clock at least
$500 people had gathered and begun clam

ever, made a strong show of force and tie

There May BE Trouble Yet.
All was confusion. The mob went into
consultation on the outskirts and il was
! believed that a concerted and successful
attack would be made on the jail at mid
night But at u O'Clock it was evident
that the mob was leaderless, and many OF
its members went home. The Jail was
kept illuminated, and Sheriff Fadden had a
large posse inside. Any attempt at lynch
ing would prove abortive, it is believed
though there is feeling that the trouble
Is not yet ended.

BEATRICE, Neb.. July 12-One of tn
most fearful accidents ever recorded in
this city was the ult of careless use of
gasoline. Mrs. c. II. Vanarsdale. wife of

fluid exploded and both women were in
stantly enveloped in flames Before any
aid could be rendered both were burned so
fearfully that neither of them WAS recog-

is supposed that while using the gasoline
one of the ladies lighted match for the
purpose of making a closer examination
of the work and that the inflammable oil
was thus igni-ed.

on his quiet way, accomplishing day by day
those deeds that constitute the supreme grandeur
of a righteous manhood. To the ills of human
life he was superior, and never allowed his faith
in God and humanity to wane by reason of any
visitation or experience. He beleved!in a:Divine
Providence and in the better nature of mankind,
and misfortune and evil were alike powerless to
modify his convictions. He profted by all that
fell to his lot, and impaired new strength and
hope to others by the example of his own grace
and fortitude.
He was a man of high intelligence, good
judgment, and strong mental endowmens, all of
which he employed successfully in the practical
affairs of life but subordinating them all to the
service of the higher moral attributes. He pos
sessed an equanimity and happiness that came
from compliance with the simple conditions
of Christian living, and SO ordered his ways and
habits that he reaped the greatest amount of
good out of life as he went along and bright

A Thief at Large,

Last Wednesday afternoon e. P. Mertz. B. & 0,
Agent at this place. prepared his daily remit
tance. amounting to 500 3s. to send to hsadquar-
ters on east bound train due at 2:OJ. After seal
ing the money in an envelope he placed it in
box attached to the south wall of the Office while
he and his assistant. Perry Shrop. went out to
attend to passenger train No. 8. which had just
arrived. This was shortly after II o'clock. and
they were not away from the Office to exceed
three minutes. On his return he at once went to
the box for the money. and was greatly aston
ished and nonplussed to find that it was not
there. After thorough search and inquiry, he
was forced to the conclusion that it had been
st olen, which theory became settled fact little
later on. by an examination of the floor or sill
of the ii icket window. on which were plainly
seen a number of scratches made by the feet of
some one who had entered the Office through the
aperture. Joseph Thomas B. & o. detective.
happened to arrive about the time of the theft.
but he was unable to discover any definite clue
to the author of the crime. It was evidently the
work of some one who had watched the Agent
place the money in the box. and while he was
busy attending to train 8. quickly crawled in
through the window opening. took the money.
and made his exit at the rear. into the freight
department. the outside doors of which were
open.
This is most unfortunate occurrence as un-
der the rules of the Company. Mr.. Mertz will
have to stand the loss. He has been a most
faithful. hard working official, and that the mis-
erable outcast who committed the theft may be
discovered and brought to speedy justice. is at
present all the consolation left him.
