hrs. X lien May Die

Dover, June 26.-Mrs. Killen is in
a dangerous condition and may not
survive her njuries.
Constable farrell of Woodsde has
in Ihls possession the bloody axe
which was used by Jacob Killcn, the
Viola farmer, who murderously at.
tackled his sleeping wife and baby
early Monday morning, distignring
them for life, should they survive the
ordeal.
The axe has a short handle and
could be used with one hand. killen
used it, according to the testimony of
the daughter Cora, who saw the as
sault in time to save her mothers
life, with his right hand, while with
the left the husband clutchcd the
wife s throat to silence her, pinning
her down with his knee upon her
breast. 1t was thought that this
weight upon the chest had injured
Mrs. Killcn internally, but this can
not yet predetermined.
An effort will be made to establish
Killcn's insanity should the wife and
baby die, and in the belief that he
is insane all of Kilen's daughters arc
singuiarly certain, and tell remark
ably similar stories. 1t is held by
them that their father injured HIM
self internally while at work upon a
binder and was advised to take some
camphor, Twenty drops, it was sug
gestcd, would have been ample. but
kilen had only gum camphor in the
house and swallowed large piece OF
this.
Some time after he took hot cur
of coffee and the camphor, being thus
absorbed, sent him intoviOlent convul'
sions from which he became mental,
weak, Inaccurate, and at times raw.
Ing. The family claim that thu
father placed himself under the
treatment of DR.. Barber of Harring'

Results in a Riot at Nebraska
City Sunday.
SHERIFF ATTEMPTS ARREST OF plAYtRS


A Nebraska City. iIeb.. July 20. spe-
cial says: notwithstanding the decla-
ration made by the members Of the
Sunday observance league that all base
ball players would be arrested. a game
was played this afternoon on the ArgO
grounds. between the Argos AMI Mos
nine. There was to have been a game
between the Argos and Crescents OF
Omaha. but the latter missed their
train and failed to arrive. There was
a crowd of 200 present to witness the
game. At the close OF the third in
ming the sheriff appeared and after
some difficulty. during which there
came near being a riot. by reason OF
the spectators interfering. the teams
were arrested and taken UP town,
when they were released on bail be-
fore Justice II. G.. Leigh. The com
plant. II ia said. was filed by Rev. II.
NJ. Jones OF the Baptist church.
A warrant sworn out by n member
Of the law and order league was placed
I'm the hands of Sheriff Brewer for the
arrest of the two teams. When he ar
rived on the grounds an angry crowd
surrounded and hustled him violently.
His revolver was taken aWa from
him. He succeeded in arresting -four
players and took them to n Justices
Office. where they were placed under
bonds. A number of city pastors we're
at the Justices office, and when they
left friends of the players threatened
and jostled them. A rock was thrown
at Rev. G. NJ. Shepherd OF the Metho-
dist church, missing him. but strit-
ing a companion and injuring him.
Mr.. Shepherd was chased to his home.
The outbreak is the result OF n long
and bitter fight between the law aud
order league and friends OF Sunday
ball.

wheat Harvest 10 Concluded With Re.
suits That are Satisfactory.
Crop conditions in Nebraska con-
tinue to be encouraging. The wheat
harvest has practically been concluded.
with satisfactory results. Corn Is
making fine progress, while potatoes
and apples will be a large crop. The
weekly bulletin issued July % by the
Nebraska section of the weather bu-
e a says:
The past week, as a whole. was cool
and wet. The daily mean tempsra-
ture has averaged three degrees be-
low the normal in the eastern counties
and five degrees below in the western.
The rain occurred principally in
heavy thunder showers Thursday night
and Friday: the amount exceeded one
inch in most of the eastern counties
and ranged from two to six inches in
a number of southeastern counties.
The first four days OF the week were
hot and dry, exceedingly favorable for
all agricultural interests. Some pro-
gress was made in stacking and thresh-
ing wheat: however, little could be
uOut III tht tuSttlh 'ouitiNo Nv ido'
days OF the week. because of the heavy
rain. The winter wheat harvest is
about completed; a small amount of
wheat N the southeastern counties on
low wet land has not and probably will
not be cut. Oats have been further
injured by the showers of the week;
the harvest OF oats have been in pro-
gress in southern counties. Corn has
grown well; the cultivation OF corn is
about finished. because corn is getting
so large; the cultivation was less than
usual; many fields are rather weedy;
however, corn is in a rather promising
condition except in the relatively small
acreage where II has been damaged by
the heavy rains: early corn Is tassel-
ing and silking. Potatoes are a large
crop, but there are some complaints OF
rotting. Apples are abundant and
promise q good crop.

A Hamburg. Germany. July 81, dis
patch says: The steamship Primus, of

board, was cut in two and sunk by
the tug Hansa on the river Elbe at

Primus was an excursion steamer
from Buxtehude. province Of Hanover,

The disaster occurred between Blan-
kenez and N~ienstdeten. Among the
passengers were the members OF the
Eilbeck male choral society.
At the time of the accident Primus
was crossing the river channel near
Blankenez. from the southern into the
northern fairway.
According to witnesses aboard Han
Sa. the movement was made toe pre-
cipitately. Primus struck the tugs en-
CINE room and Hansa e~ndeavored to
push 1t ashore. but the tug grounded
and the ships parted. Primus then
sank.
In the interval, however, about fifty
of the passengers were able to reach
Hansa by means of ropes and ladders,
Seventy more were picked up by the
tugs boats, while others swan ashore.
