THE DURRANT CASE
BE Is Formally Charged With the Mur-
der of Blanche Lamont.
BECOMING VERY IRRITABLE
Prosecution Has a Weak Case In
the Williams Affair. but II Ex-
poets to Do Better I'm the
Lamont Trial.

San Francisco. April 7.-Theodore
Durrant was taken from his cell in the
city prison to-day and formally
charged with the murder of Blanche
Lamont. He has been very surly for
the past two days and made no effort
TO conceal his irritation this morning
How much more are you going to
charge me with?' he growled at De-
tective Seymour. who swore to the
complaint. The city officials are conf
dent that Durrant's visitors bring him
drugs which enable him to sleep IL
hours a day. To the use of these OPT
ates his increasing irritability Is as
cribed. He Is fast becoming what is
known as an unreasonable and trou-
blesome prisoner.
Chief Crowley has ordered that no
notice shall be taken of anything the
prisoner says. Prison officials have
complained of Durrant's rudeness.
Durrant is treated with the greatest
consideration. He occupies the mos.
comfortable cell in the prison. has ac-
cess to an adjoining bath room. is per-
mitted to receive visitors at all hours
and Is not thrown in contact with
other prisoners.
The preliminary examination in the
cluded on Tuesday and the inquest In
the Lamont case commences on the
following day.
Friends OF Durrant still affect to be-
lieve In his innocence. even promising
to solve the mystery OF the murders.
limiting that the murders were the work
of a middle-aged married resident of
the Mission. who has since disap-
peared.
The plan OF District Attorney Barnes
to try Durrant for the murder OF Miss
Lamont first is generally commended
Considered alone. the Williams case is
considered weak for the prosecution.
and. with another case to be tried. a
jury verdict of guilty would be doubt
ful. The prosecution fears the moral
effect of an acquittal in one case.
The evidence in the Lamont crime
is considered more conclusive. 1t Is
probable that the grand jury will b
asked to indict Durrant for the La
mont murder. This would render un-
necessary a preliminary police court
Investigation.

THF MYSTERY SOLVED.
No Earthquake, but 1,5OO
Quarts of Nitro-Glycerine
Let Loose.

People in this vicinity were much
excited early Sunday morning at
what many supposed TO be the shock
of an earthquake. The ground
trembled and houses shook, and many
thought the day of judgement was at
hand.
The mystery of the supposed
earthquake shock was solved when
the daily papers of Monday We're re-
ceived, and it was found that fifteen
hundred quarts of nitro-glycerine had
exploded near Gibsonburg, in San
dusky county. The explosive was
contained in the magazine belonging
to the Ohio and Indiana Torpedo
| Co., and while it is not definitely
known whether any lives were lost,
on account of the severe snow storm
which was raging at the time, the
damage to the company will amount
to about $4,000, and. the damage to
property at Gibsonburg will foot up
50, 900. The magazine rested on a
bed of limestone and only a small hole
shows where it formerly stood. An
oil stove was burning, at the time to
thaw out frozen explosives and the
cause is attributed to this.

Death of a Former Henry County
Citizen.

The following obituary notice,
which we take from the Ohioa0dn, OF
Ohiowa, Neb., refers to the death OF
a former resident Of Henry county.
Mr.. Moore is known to large NUM-
Der of our older citizens:
John Moor was born in Seneca county,
Ohio, October IA, 1885. With his parents he
moved to Henry county, Ohio, when ID, year s
of age, from whence he removed to Illinois
in 1864, where he resided thirteen years. In
1877 he immigrated to Nebraska and settled
in the southeast part of Fillmore county,

which occurred December Z, 1894, He was
married to Miss Christine Hall at Napoleon,

with eleevn children, lives to mourn the
death of loving husband and father. Mt.

People as a rule don't read adver-
but when they do, they are
nearly always well paid for their
time in doing so. They not only learn
where to buy the things they want and
need, but they learn where they can
buy to their best advantage; when you
need anything in the way of brush,
you can always be accommodated at
at Saur & Balsley's Drug and Book
House. They not only have a large
stock on hand at all times, but such a
large variety that you may be sure
of getting almost anything made in
this line. One thing we can say for
this house, is, that they buy nearly all
their brushes direct from the manu-
facturers, and when any brush comes
to pieces or fails to give satisfaction,
whenever it is made known, it is re-
placed with new one free of charge.

Rank of Defiance Robbed.

The Merchants National Bank at
Defiance was robbed last week, it is
supposed, on Monday night. The
robbers had effected an entrance to
rooms above the bank, cutting hole
through the floor and then into the
vault. which had no iron casing, only
brick work to protect it. The job
was evidently done by professionals,
and had been we'll planned. The
bank officials did not know they were
robbed until the day afterward, there
being no outward signs on the vault,
outside of the lock refusing to open,
and the robbery was not discovered
until an expert from Cincinnati open
ed the vault. The amount OF money
taken was about $4,000, which does
not cripple the bank to the extent
that its patrons will suffer the
loss of q dollar.
