BAD FAITH OF A YOUNG MAN
With Three Young Ladies' Makes an
Attempt to Outrage One OF Them.

GLoyrRs GAR. Aug. %. Quite
number Of our people went TO the
K. @. L. III box social at Metz last
Friday night and report good time
while there, but on their return
home they were shocked at the bru-
fish conduct OF one of their escorts.
Clarence MnNeary, OF Manning
ton, solicited the company OF Misses
Winnie and Title Youst and Ella
Wells, which was kindly accepted
by the young ladies The quar-
tette all were as comfortably seated
in his vehicle as the room would
permit, one of the girls having to
sit on the lap of the girls. McNeary
drove wild and made them feel IN
easy and uncomfortable, first TO one
side of the road and then to the 9TH
er, which kept them frightened all
the way, until within about mile
Of the Gap Miss Winnie Youst who
desired to change her position and
rest the lady on whose lap she was
sitting raised up and just then the
horse gave quick jerk which caus
ed her to jump from the buggy to
keep from falling. At the same
time McNeary took hold Of Tillie
Youst, and she tore loose from him
and jumped out also. This left
Miss Wells alone with him. He re-
marked that he would take her
home alone. and started on. leaving
the two Miss Yousts alone in the
dark and badly heightened. He
had not gone far, however, until the
Youst girls heard some one scream
ing and calling for help, they be-
lieving it to be one OF their compan-
ions, Miss Wells, they called on
some young men who were walking
up the railroad to come to her as
sistance, which they did and found
McNeary had taken Miss Wells
from the buggy, and the william was
trying TO outrage her person He
had thrown her to the ground, put
dirt in her mouth and choked her
till she was almost suffocated. He
threatened to shoot her il she did
not be quiet. John +. Hughes, Lee
and John Hart, rescued Miss Wells,
and took her and the other girls
home. McNeary, laying the whip
to the horses made his escape to-
ward the Gap, but later returned
to Metz, and from there to Man
nington where we understand he is
enjoying his liberty, same as law
abiding citizen. Why there has
been no effort made to have him ar
rested we do not understand.

Big CORN CROP SURE NOW.
Rains In Nebraska Give Confidence
That The Tield win BE 800, 900, GOO
Bushels.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. %. Enormous
quantities OF rain have fallen through
out Nebraska la the past forty-eight
hours, following very warm period.
In the estimation OF the leading grain
men of the State there Is no longer
ground for apprehension concerning
the corn crop ofNebraska. They express
the utmost confidence that the yield
will now approximate 300, 900, 600
bushels. This is not very high, con-
sidering the fact that the State has
an acreage OF over s.000.00 this year.
Westof Lincoln the corn has been
damaged good deal by drought.
The east half OF the State, however,
is away ahead Of usual times.
The Nebraska Grain Association re-
ceiyed reports from every county In
the State to-day and in IS OF the 100
counties reports were very favorable.
They say a large crop is now assured
without another drop OF rain. How
ever, there is good deal OF late corn
that can be injured by drought, and one
or two more good rains are necessary
to make this the banner corn crop OF
Nebraska.
The farmers are making extensive
preparations to store the corn this
fall. There will be little OF ii sold
before next spring and very likely not
until it is known positively next year
what the corn crop of 1901 will be.
This is the general verdict To this
end, farmers In all parts of the state
have constructed additional cribs and
bins. 1t is the general opinion that
the price of corn will advance mater
tally this fall and in that event
much larger volume OF the crop may
be moved The railroads competing
here are acting, however, upon the
advices furnished by their station
agents throughout the State, and
upon this theory there will be little
demand for corn-shipping facilities on
Nebraska roads before next spring.

Growing Stronger Daily.

Mr.. Bryan has grown since his nom
ination six weeks ago-first by reason
of his wise silence on the silver Ques-
tion, and second by his remarkable
speech accepting the Democratic nom-
ination. The speech will 60 down In
history as one of the most effective
utterances ever made by a candidate.
Besides its thoughtfulness, its ele-
quence, its able marshaling OF argu.
ments, we must recognize the fine
sagacity which caught the public i'm

mind by full acceptance OF its upper

Unearthed a skeleton.

Workman found a skeleton along
the new railroad near Belington
Thursday which is supposed to be that
of an Indian. A blast of dynamite
brought the frame OF the red man to
view, and from the size Of the bones
and the general appearance of the
skeleton, there is little doubt that
some warrior persisted there in the
early history Of the State, The bones
were scared and yellow with age.

FOUND HIS SON LYING DEAD.
And His Wife so Injured that
She Will Die.

Shepard Upon his Return Home after
a Nights absence Boys Head Crush
ed with an axe, and Wife's skull
Broken with the Same Weapon The
Murder Is Surrounded In Mystery
Neighbors have Suspicious.
PARkERsBURa, w. Va, August %.
"A mysterious murder near Peewee,
Writ county, has aroused the people
OF that vicinity to high state of ex-
element. One person Is already dead
and a second is almost beyond hope OF
recovery, while the public is ignorant
as to the cause Of the crime or the
party who committed it.
Samuel Shepard, relative of the
Shepards who formerly lived In this
city, lives, or did live, with his wife
and stepson near Peewee. Tuesday
evening he left his home and went to
his brothers, few miles away. He
remained there one night and return
ed to his home Wednesday evening.
On his return he discovered the son, a
boy Of seven years, dead on the floor,
and his wife. bea1en, cut, teuised and
unconscious, but still alive. He gave
the alarm and physicians were sum-
moned to do what they could for Mrs.
Shepard.
THE BOY HAD BEEN DEAD
about twenty-four hours when Mr..
Shepard discovered him. Death had
been caused by two blows In the head
with an axe. The skull was crushed
and the boy lay in a pool OF blood,
while the ak with which the crime
had been committed, was near by.
Mrs. Shepard, though alive, was
unconscious and so seriously injured
that she can probably not recover
Three physicians are doing all In their
power for her, but they give almost
no hope for her recovery. She had
evidently been struck with the same
axe used to kill the boy. Her skull
was crushed and she was badly beaten
and bruised. Her death is expected
at almost any moment.
No arrest has been made and so far
as heard no steps have been taken To
hold an inquest.S The burial clothes
for the boy were secured this after
noon, and he will probably be buried
tomorrow. While there
Is NO DIRECT EVIDENCE
against any one, the people Of the VII
cinity have a certain party under sns-
picion, but, unless Mrs. Shepard
should recover there will be only cir
cumstantial evidence against him.
The people Of the vicinity Of Peewee
are very reticent about giving their
opinions, but one man seems to be
pretty generally suspected.

The story is being circulated that
Immediately after the republican state
convention Gov. Tanner will make
some important changes in his politi-
cal family. 1t is said that he will de-
capitate a number of his appointees
for the reason that they have not been
able to produce the right kind of re-
suits in their respective localities. On
the surface the governors judgment
in the selection of his machine leaders
has not been very good. and yet so
many of them happened to be located
in counties or districts where local
conditions were so strongly against
them that they could not be expected
to win. The best political managers
cannot carry county against a unani-
nous sentiment of the people. and
Gov. Tanners hired men would have
found it much easier sailing had the
governor made a record satisfactory
