INJURED FROM THE X-RAYS
Frank V. BnIlinG's Suit for S2S,OOO
Damages in Locating Leg Fracture
Commences at Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-For Injuries alleged
to have been sustained through application
of X-rays to an injured foot for the pur.
pose of definitely locating a fracture trial
OF a suit for $4,000 damages was com
menced here today.
The case is that of Frank V. Baling,
wealthy lumberman, against tee Roentgen
X-ray laboratory. The plaintiff alleges that
through the negligence of the defendants
in submitting the injured leg to too long eX-
posure to the machine it was severely
burned as to necessitate amputation of the
lower part of the limb in order to save
the remainder.
The operation was performed and then it
was necessary to perform two more, thereby
causing the plaintin the loss of almost
the entire leg.

In speaking of his interview that was
published in the World Herald yesterday
Mr.. Morey said that 1t contained a whole lot
of rot which he did not say. lie further
said that parts Of /. were colored to make
1t appear that his affection for the girl was
entirely too strong. 1t was so worded as to
do him harm and not do him justice. He
admits that he was very intimate with the
girl but says it was only in way which a
brother would be toward his own sister and
that everything he did for Miss Horlockcr
was done in a sympathetic way and wa FOR
her own good as he supposed. Everything
done was made known to his wife and she
had no objection whatever, as she thor
oughly understood the situation.
Mr.. Tibbets said that the going away of
Mrs Hail. the woman whom it is claimed
saw Viola Horlccker place a small box at
Mrs. Morey's studio door, will not affect
or delay the case any. He says they have
three other witnesses who saw Miss Hor-
locker enter the stairway that leads to
Mrs, Morey's home during the noon hour
on the fatal day and these witnesses are
considered to be of far greater Importance
than Mrs Hall.
AS yet nothing can be learned of the re-
suit Of the analysis of the poisoned candy
which the county attorney took to Lincoln
to have analyzod by a chemist of the State
university. Mr.. McCreary returned home to-
night but could not be seen.
1t is generally believed here tonight that
Miss Horlocker will never go on the witness
stand but will succeed in committing sui
eide before the time for trial arrives or else
die from nervous effects, as she is not
very strong girl and has not been enjoying
the best of health during the last year.

SHOT TO DEATH IN JAIL CAGE
Murder of Hugh Patterson is Avenged
by Mob of Arkansas Citizens
Whc Tired of Laws Delay.

CLINTON, April 1S.-Yesterday morn
ing between u and o'clock was enacted the
final scene in the double Patterson tragedy,
which took place on December IS, 1897. in
which Hugh Patterson lost his life and sew
eral other members of his family were serl
ously wounded. A mob of citizens took the
law into their own hands and shot Will Har-
din, one of the Patterson murderers, to
death in the cage at the county Jail.
Lee Mills, q prominent young man and
once a deputy sheriff of Van Buren, county
and VIII Hardin were arrested charged
with the Patterson murder Several at
tempts to lynch them were frustrated and
an attempt on the part OF the friends to
liberate them from Jail resulted in a guard
being killed Mills was convicted on Har
dn's testimony and suffered the death pen
atty several months ago. Hardin was con-
vcted at the September term of court and
the case was appealed to the supreme court
which granted new trial. At the March
term he was again convicted and sentenced
to hang May 3. No appeal was taken, but
a Communication was asked of the governor
and granted.
When the people learned that executive
clemency had been granted there was much
excitement. About fifty well armed masked
men went to the jailer, commanded him to
go and unlock the jail which he did under
cover of a shotgun The jailer and night
guard were marched inside the Jail when
one of the mob, who had acted as spokes-
man, emptied the contents of a double bar
relied shotgun into Hardin's head, cutting it
almost entirely away. The mob then fast
ened the jailer and guard in the Jail and
left as silently as they came. No demon
stration of any sort was made and it was
some time before the town knew what had
occurred. The coroner returned verdict
that Hardin came to his death by gunshot
wounds at the hands of unknown parties.

SHELDON, la, April 1S.-CSpecial Tele-
gram. Miss Viola IIorlocker and her
mother arrived in Sheldon Friday or Satur-
day last. Sunday morning they attended the
Congregational church and took seats we'll in
front. Miss Horlocker seemed very much in
terested in the sermon. Monday DR.. Bailey
was called to Joseph Marstous residence and
found that Miss Horlocker had taken arsenic
but it being an overdose she was soon re-
stored and is all right today. About 43O
o'clock this afternoon Deputy Sheriff Hudson
placed her under arrest and as soon as the
sheriff from Hastings arrives she will prob
ably be taken to Hastings for trial. When
Hudson made known the occasion of his
visit at the Marston home Miss Horlocker
and her aunt, Mrs. Marston, both tainted
but soon recovered and are being guarded
with great care.
Miss Horlocker signifies her willingness to
return to Nebraska without requisiton pa
pers, but she stoutly protests her innocence
of the charges preferred against her. When
Miss Horlockers arrest occurred her bag
gage was at the depot awaiting the arrival
of the eastbound train. Up to the time Of
today's occurrences she has appeared self
possessed.

Her relatives in this city were notified to-

and are prostrated from grief.
Mr.. Tbbets who was first to commence
work to run the young woman down and
who furnished all the evidence which caused
County Attorney McCreary to issue the war
rant says that while he was morally con-
vnced that Miss HoTloCker committed the
crime he did not possess enough proof in
his estimation to have the girl arrested on
Tuesday He also said that as the accused
had not taken flight Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning nobody had any idea
that she would entertain the thought of
leaving the city.
This is the mysterious part that puzzles
the public and causes so many bad rumors
to float around. Had there been any effort
made to detain the girl or head her off on
her journey there would not be cause for
so much sensational talk as has been and
still is going around. In speaking OF the
case County Attorney McCreary is quoted
as having said

That is what our criminal laws are for. 1t
Is not so much TO punish the guilty as to

pished by the speedy punishment Of crimes
rather than by the severity of the punish
ment. This idea that a person can live in

be suspected Of mental irregularity until

sibiity on the ground of insanity is the
greatest of rot. When there is absolutely

HASTINGS. Neb., April 1s.-(Special Tele-
gram.) )-Sheriff Simmerlng informed The
Bee correspondent tonight that he had today
wired the sheriff at Sheldon, Ia, and had
Miss Viola Horlocker placed under arrest.
The sheriff is to leave on the early Burling
ton train for Sheldon, where he will get
Miss Horlocker and bring her back to Hast
ings Thursday morning. The sheriff also
said that he had just received telegram
from Sheldon stating that Miss Horlocker
had made aR,-2stempt to commit suicide.
Judge Ragan was seen tonight when he
returned from Lincoln, and said there was
no doubt in regard to Miss Horlockers ap-
office, but when Ragan made this statement
he had not heard of the legal steps the
sheriff had taken.
The reason why the sheriff had Miss Hor-
locker arrested in Sheldon was because he
had become tired of the way things were
dragging along, and was uneasy. 1t is al
most certain that public sentiment was the
direct cause, as the people were accusing
him of not properly carrying out the law.
This sudden change in the legal program
is a great surprise to all, as there did not
seem to be the least doubt in the minds of
all those concerned in the Morey- -Horlocker
affair but what Miss Viola Horlocker would
be in Hastings tomorrow morning to face
the serious charges made against her. The
sheriff and all the attorneys had so an
nounced it and to strengthen the report
Sheriff Simmering today made a wager with
the district clerk to the effect that Miss Hor-
lockers attempt to commit suicide is not
great surprise to those who know the girl,
as they all feared she would sooner take
her own life than return to Hastings and
stand trial.

COLONEL HENRY C. EGBERT KILLED
Heavy List Of Casualties During
Past Three Days.
GALLANT CHARGE UP A HILL

A dispatch to the New York Journal from
Manila, Philippine Islands, yesterday, says:
The United States troops, under Brig.
Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, captured the town of
Malnta, beyond the Tulahan river today,
after sharp fight. Col. Harry c. Egbert
of the 22d Regular Infantry was killed.
Prince Loewenstein, formerly aid-de-camp
on the staff of Brig. Gen. Miller at Iloilo,
somehow got in front of the firing line, and
was shot in the side, dying almost in
stantly. German who accompanied him
was wounded. In addition to the killing of
Col. Egbert, several men of the 22d In
fantry and several of the Oregon and Kan
Sas regiments were killed.
The American casualties today are much
lighter than those of yesterday, the total
loss thus far reported during the fighting of
Friday. Saturday and today being forty
five killed and one hundred and forty-fve
wounded.
Gen. Wheaton entered Mainta which is
a small village of huts at o'clock this af-
ternoon. The United States gunboat He
lena and other gunboats have been shelling
Malabon, about l.. mile northwest of Caloo-
can, for several hours.
The insurgents made a fierce resistance
to the American advance up the railroad ut
Malinta.
Evidently anticipating a bombardment by
the fleet, thousand rebels vacated Mala-
bon last night, leaving a few to burn the
town. Gen. Wheaton's brigade composed
of the I'd Oregon Volunteers ami the I'D
and 23d Infantry. stretched out along the
railroad from Caloocan to the Tuliahan
river, was poWeress to prevent the with
drawal owing to the natural obstacles and
to the strong opposition. column of smoke
at daybreak was the first intimatfon of the
enemys intentions, but other columns of
smoke followed at various points, all soon
blending in dense cloud. The flames of
the burning rice mills and large buildings
could be plainly seen from Caloocan. Ce-
spite the strong sunlight.
By IL o'clock in the morning the ONLY
building of Importance not destroyed in
the center of the town was a large stone
church, but even at noon fresh fires were
started among the native huts in the out
sFirts of Malabon although the general en-
odus had taken place much earlier
Many of the rebels sought refuge ir the
suburbs of Navotas and Casag or were
