CAPTURES HOUSE BREAKER
Farmer Lies in Wait and When
Marauder Resists Fills Him
with Shot.

EXETER, Neb., March l0.-CSpecial.)-
For more than a year past robberies have
occurred on Sundays in houses whose occu-
pants were at church. For a long time the
thefts were supposed to be the work Of
tremps, but as these occurrences did not
cease the farmers who we're victims Of
these depredations began q systematic
watch.
Yesterday morning at the residence Of
Mr.. Jensen, three miles east Of here, the
family had all gone to church except Mr..
Jensen. who concealed himself in the house.
He had not remained there long when
he saw a young man named Charles Bode
coming toward the house. Bode tried the
doors, but finding them locked, secured a
piece Of iron and pulled the staple that
held the lock on the outside cellar door.
When Mr.. Jensen heard him in the cellar
he secured his shotgun and as young Bode
stepped into the room from below he was
confronted by the man behind the gun and
commanded to throw up his hands, but
instead Of doing SO he made a dash for
the man and gun and seized the gun barrel
with both hands
This was an unexpected move to Jensen,
but he pulled the trigger OF the gun and
Bode received the full charge OF shot IN
his leg just below the thigh.
Constable Lener went out and arrested
Bode and brought him to town. He is
at present under the care of DR.. stratton.

tant matters to be discussed by the popu-
lists is the proposed formation Of a state
