sHE IS AVENGED.
DE-. a. a. 0'ksllay Found GaIity Ysstsr-
day on n charaa OF Abduct-
Ina Lacy Ramsey.

The trial of DIR. II. II. O'Kel-
ley Of Healdton was brought up
yesterday morning before Judge
Kilgore. 1t was concluded as
far as testimony and argument
were concerned, and the case
given to the jury. After par
taking of a hearty meal at the
Wisnor, the twelve men hav-
ing the liberty of the defen-
dant in their hands, retired to
their room to deliberate. It
only required about half an
hour to reach a verdict, which
was that H. II. O'Kelley is
guilty of the serious charge of
abducting Lucy Ramsey from
her home with a view to de-
bauching her character.
When the verdict was render
ed the defendant was according
to custom, sitting in the court
room by the side of his counsel,
Attorneys Caswell Bennett and
Moran Scott. AS the word,
guilty" fell from the lips of
the clerk, he moved not a mus
Gle; he heard the announcement
of his fate without a shudder
and with stoical indifference.
This case has attracted a
great deal of attention ON ac-
count of the business promi-
nence of the defendant and the
helplessness of the alleged VIC
tim of his lecherous desires.
DIR. O'Kelley was a merchant of
good standing at Healdton. He
enjoyed a good practice in his
profession, and was a member
of at least two influential secret
orders. Miss Lucy Ramsey is
a young lady apparently about
sixteen years old, the daughter
of a widow lady, poor in purse
and a stranger in the neighbor-
hood. Her husband, a mason
in good standing, died several
years preceding, leaving her
and several children, among
them Miss Lucy.
When this unfortunate affair
happened about a year since,
the people of the neighbor-
hood became interested, and
from that day until yesterday
have never ceased in the deter
mination that the assailant OF
the character of the child of a
dead brother should be pun.
ished.
! O'Kelley was given a triaI
last spring, at which time the
! result was a hung jury. Since
that time he has been arrested
for slander, and the grand jury
now sitting has indicted him.
DIR. O'Kelley was ably de
Tended by Caswell Bennett anC
Moran Scott, while his prose
cution was vigorously urged by
District Attorney Cruce, H. NJ
Furman and j. G.. Thompson

Attorney Knight Steals q March on the
AR.
There was considerable excitement
around the Memorial hall Saturday,
wherein the Relief corps was holding
its annual installation, which was
caused by an officer intruding upon
the ceremonies with an attachment for
the chairs, carpets, altar, etc., which
constitute the furniture of the lodge
room.
The ladies were allowed to to finish
their work, through the kindness Of
the officer, and by the time the re-
moving began, a writ of replsVin had
been issued and the Grand Army was
again in possession Of its equipment.
The attachment was engineered by
Attorney Knight, acting for the Sher-
man County bank, which has judg-
ment against the society upon which
attachment was issued. The Exchange
bank had a chattel mortgage upon the
furniture, but had allowed the same to
lapse. The case will be settled in the
district court.

Carried Of by Pneumonia at Colorado
Springs.
The people of Goodland were shock
ed Friday at the intellifence that W.
". LaRue had died that morning at
Colorado Springs from pneumonia.
The evening before he had complain
ed of feeling bad and of a pain in his
side. A physician was called in and
pronounced him suffering from nothing
more severe than a bad cold. Thus as
sured, he retired and seemed to rest
easy until about a. M, when Mrs. La
Rue was aWaked by his struggles and
before she could summon assistance
he had expired.
The funeral occurred at Colorado
Springs Monday at 8 o'clock in charge
of the Odd Fellows society.
Mr.. LaRue had lately removed from
this city to the Springs where he had
engaged in the brokerage business.
Mr.. LaRue was one Of the first men
on the townsite of GOodland and was
connected with the Town Co. Later
on he was a partner with the late Fred
Albee in the real estate business. Five
years ago he became firm member OF

up to a few months prior to his removal
to the Springs. Mr.. LaRue was a good
citizen and his list of friends was limit
ed only by the number of his scqusint-

A RAILROADMAN SANDBAGGED.

Conductor Joe Lustig Knocked Down by
an Unknown Person.
AS Conductor Joe Lustig, who had
brought in the local freight from the
west Saturday night, was going from
the way car to the depot, some hOldup
or enemy slugged him with q sandbsg
Lustig's report of the occurrence was
that he was walking through the yards
when he heard something crack like a
small rife and for the next twenty-five
minutes everything was blank. When
he regained consciousness he became
aware of acute pains along his spine and
supposed he had been shot. He then
made an effort and managed to get to
the depot.
Here an inventory of his valuables
was made which were found to be in
tact. The injured man was then taken
uptown for medical examination. Dr..
Smith made careful examination and
found a confusion on the crown of the
head that could scarcely be made with
nothing but q sandbag, which would also
explain the sound Mr.. Lustig thought
an explosion, as that is one Of the pc
euliar sensations accompanying blow
from that weapon.
The assailant, if q robber, was evi-
IDENTIFY frightened away before he could
rife the pockets Of bis victim, and no
clew to his identity has yet been ob-
tanned.
