village ten miles northeast of West
Union. They were armed with knives
and revolvers and gave it out that they
proposed 20 clean out the town. They
made the attempt but with poot sue
cess The brothers entered saloon
and started on the war path, but met
with such determined resistance that
after the smoke had cleared 1t was dis
covered that one of the brothers lay in
his own blood on the floor, his head
gashed in eight places, and the other
brother was ready to depart. The
wounded man is now in a critical con-
dition.
George Ashworth, who fatally shot
Mrs. Wilbur Mason, for whose husband
he was working, near Summerset, on
the 10th of March, was discovered by
his guardian in the latter's barn loft
near Norwalk on the 18th. The
guardian at once gave the alarm, Ash
worth meantime leaving the barn and
going to the home of his mother. When
the pursuers came up he was talking
to his mother and sister, who were
trying to get him to surrender. This
he declined to do, however, and, going
short distance away, he placed n
revolver to hls temple and sent bull
let through his brains. He lived but
one hour thereafter. He failed to DIS
close to anyone his reasons for shooting
Mrs. Mason, and the matter will for
ever remain a mystery.

lishmen: of saloon under :he super

A regular mint was discovered few
miles out of Brooklyn by NJ. j. Hughes,
of the Omaha government secret SER
vice, and United States Marshal w. w.
Eller. Capt. Hughes had been work
ing on the case for several days and
succeeded in securing some of the coin.
The manufa cturer was Dave Hinegard-
ner, a desperate character of that COM
munity, who has served several Jail
sentences for drunkenness and boot
Logging. lie was arrested at Malcolm
and taken to Brooklyn and placed In
the town jail while the officers searched
the premises. They discovered the
utensils used, the boiler, plaster OF
paris casts and ladeIs, all of which had
been broken and thrown into a field.
The casts were badly spoiled, but the
several pieces were collected and will
be used in evidence before the federal
grand jury. HInegardner has been a
terror for several years and the Local
officers have dreaded him. He at
tempted to kill the Brooklyn marshal
the night of the last election. All are
hoping the evidence will be sufficient
to send him TO the penltentiary for q
term of years.
The case of the United States against
George ii. Gable, John Freese and j.
b b. Allen, charged with running a lot.
terry by the aid of the United States
mails, was tried in the federal court al
Council Bluffs and the jury returned a
verdict of guilty against each of the
defendants on six different counts.
This disposes of the case in which the
Perpetual Maturity Bonding Company
was involved, for ldr. Gable stated
that neither he nor his co-defendants
had the means with which to appeal il
to the higher court 1t is believed in
court circles that the sentence will bt
nothing more than fine, by reason OF
the previous good character of all the
defendants, The witnesses brought
out the fact that the ASSOCIATION haC
taken in about $4,000, but had paiC
only four bonds, or $4,000. Where the
other 50, 600 had gone was a mystery
which the defendants could not ex.
PLAIN, further than it went to carry or
! the expenses of the business. In hi'
instructions, Judge Woolson took a
very decided position, concluding hi
remarks with the statement that tho
bond scheme was nothing more than 6
lottery, and that if the jury did mo-
bring in verdict of guilty its opinion
would be very different from his.
