er's mother, from whom he was taken by
the father few months ago. Last week
Stricken appeared here with the boy. He
is not known to have threatened his wife,
but his conduct Of late has been peculiar.
Yesterday afternoon he saw his wife on
the street, and followed her into Frank
McCallister's furniture store, where her
father Is employed.
Dragging the child by the arm, he hur-
riedly accosted her. A pistol flashed from
his pocket, and he shot the woman dead.

without a sound. and third shot, in
tended for l.. Harvey, the woman's ia

ing when the first shot was fired.
The exact cause of the tragedy is not

jmbued with the idea that he was being
wronged by his wife.

Kelly Of the Inter Mountain, who is
charged with the shooting of DR.. H. c.
Cayley, was released on $1,000 bond last
night, two millonaires being among his
bondsmen. An effort is being made by
the friends of Cayley to increase the bond
with view Of keeping Kelly in jail pend
ing developments. Should Cayley die,
Kelly must stay in prison, as his case
would then be unbailable under the laws
Of Montana.
A consultation of physicians was held
last night. and the doctors practically
abandoned hope for the recovery Of their
patient, though the bulletins were care
fully guarded. At o'clock Cayley had a
sinking spell. but revived under the inf1u-
ence of powerful stmulants.

All day the police kept up an intermittent

Bonte woman has figured in several scan

one broken home has been left in her
wake. She has two children living.

disclose any evidence of an alleged mar
riage between her and Kelly.

900, which was almost immediat ely raised.

Hamilton began serving his sentence
Feb. 20, 1901. 1t is understood that he

case. Herbert G. Gurnee, convicted Of
taking 81 from the Minneapolis Y. M. c.

ION THE GROUND FLOOR"
Village Of Benton in Nebraska to
Move Bag and Baggage
to Darr.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Lexington, Neb., Oct. 14-The village of
Benton, a few miles from here, has de-
cided to move. This does not mean the
inhabitants alone. The houses and stores,
besides all the personal effects, will float
down the Platte river for three miles to a
location which the village prefers to its
present one. Nothing will be left behind
except the natural scenery.
The decision to move came with the
announcement of the Union Pacific rail-
way that a new town, Darr, containing a
large mill and elevator, would be estab-
lished at the point where the line crossed
the Platte river. This is three miles down
stream from the present group of houses
called Benton.
When an agent Of the Union Pacific pre-
scented the matter in the right light the
citizens saw that they were living in the
wrong place and they decided to move and
be on the ground floor of the new town.
