JOHNSON is FOUND.
Discovery of n Man Supposed to
Have Been Murdered Clears
Farmer from Suspicion.

By the discovery of Martin NJ. John
son near Jefferson, Nebraska farmer
named John Nordstrom has had the
suspicion of murder, which has rested
upon him for five years, lifted. In Feb
ruary, 1896, Martin NJ. johnson disap-
peared from Omaha, and no trace Of
him could be found. He was known
to have sum Of money, and suspicion
was at once aroused that he had been
murdered. He had worked for Nord-
strom, near there, Nordstrom moving
the year before to Wahoo.
johnson had been solicited by Nord-
strom to come to Wahoo and rent q
farm and finally sold his effects at Oma-
ha and started,as wassupposed, for that
place. That was the last seen of him.
Inquiry showed he never reached Wa
hoo. The Omaha papers made a sensa-
tion out of the matter and public opin
lon finally settled down to the belief that
Nordstrom had made away with John
son for his money. AS no evidence
could be adduced for his conviction,
Nordstrom was never arrested.
For five years the friends of Nord-
strom, who believed him innocent.
have searched for the missing johnson.
A reward of 5000 was offered for John
son, dead or ative. About month ago
it was learned Martin NJ. johnson
lived on small farm just east of JEFF
ferson. An investigation was made
and it was found he was the long-lost
neighbor of Nordstrom. johnson has
admitted freely his identity, and has
promised to go to both Omaha and Wa
hoo in order that the people may be
satisfied he is the right man and thus
| right the wrong done to Nordstrom.

Incorporation Fec Jaw

Secretary of State w. B. Martin will
ask the legislature to amend the in
corporation laws of the state. The
present law exempts outside corpora
tons for manufacturing purposes
which file their articles in this state
from paying fee. Why this was ever
done is mystery to him. He will ask
the legislatu re to strike out this pro-
vision and require them to pay the
regular fee, just as an Iowa manufac-
turing concern would have to do.
