MARSHAL IS SHOT
CITY OFFICER or RUlO IS
KILLED BY TOUGH.
MOB THREATENS THE MURDERER
Lynching Only Averted by Absence Of
Leader-Escapcs After tho killing
But Later Make = Confession and
IL Hurried TO jail mt Falls City.

William Hunt represented as a tough
character, while being taken to Jail
shot and killed City Marshal Wake at
Rulo October %, and came near meet
ing his w death at the hands Of an
Infatuated but leaderless mob, a half
hour later.
There was a political rally at Rulo
Saturday and Huns had been drinking
freely. About 10 o'clock that night he
was arrested by Town Marshal Wake,
who started to take him TO Jail. Hunt
was walking ahead and suddenly
turned and drawing n revolver fred
two shots at the officer, one entering
the mouth and the other the left breast
death resulting instantly.
1t seems that no one was near when
the arrest was made, and Hunt, think
ing no had seen him or wa aware
OF his arrest, threw away his revolver
and hurried away, only to return half
an hour later and inquire of the crowd
what had happened. There were peo-
pie In the crswd who know that Hunt
had just been arrested "a short time be-
fore and knowing his desperate char
acter, he was arrested at once and
confessed TO having donethe shooting.
An attempt was made to organize a
mob, and many ugly threats were
made, and only the advice of cool
heads, and the fact that the mob had
no leader, saved Hunt from being
lynched.
The murdered man was taken 10
Falls City and placed in Jail. There
was talk at RulO Of organizing a mob
to avenge the death of Marshal Wake,
who was very popular, but since the
people have had the opportunity for a
sober, second thought it is not believed
that anything will be done. Hunt is
in Rulo.
A Falls City, Neb.. dispatch saws:
Bill Hunt, who killed City Marshal
A. j. Wake at Rulo was brought here
by h sheriff and placed in Jail. The
murder occurred during the democratic
rally at Rulo. Hunt has the reputa-
ton of being an all round tough. In.
stead Of attending the speaking he re-
manned In John kanaly's saloon yelling
ut the speakers to the annoyance of
the democrats and the proprietor of
the saloon, who requested Marshal
Wake to remove him. Wake took
Hunt out onto the sidewalk and said
to him: at Is not right to disturb the
democrats. This is their night; they
W the town, and when we have a
rally you IA shout and we want the
democrats to keep quiet"
He told Hunt to 60 home or he would
have to put him in the lookup. Wake
left him, but had only gone a few steps
when Hunt indicated his intention to
remain. 1t is supposed that the a
shall turued toward Hunt again, for he
received n ball in the face and an
other through the heart and fell full
length upon the sidewalk dead. Hunt
ran north about 100 feet toward the
livery stable and threw his revolver
into a deep ravine and returned to
where the crowd had gathered around
h dead marshal and asked what the
trouble was. He claimed that he was
not the man who did the shooting.
The streets Of Rulo at 9:3O p. IN. are
not very we'll lighted, but there were
a number of persons present within ten
to fifty feet Of the killing to establish
the identity Of the slayer.
