SIOUX FALLS, s. D., March ~1.-(special.)
"A mysterious nemesis is pursuing Will
liam Liebrecht and his young bride. Ger
man residents Of Mankota. Although per-
sistent efforts have been made to apprehend
the parties prosecuting them, not the
slightest clew has been secured to reveal
the Identity Of the guilty parties.
LIebrecht Begins His Attentions.
Liebrecht's bride is a daughter of Carl
Kawell. a civil war veteran, and at present
an inmate Of the state Soldiers home at
Minnehaha. Mrs. Kawell and her five chill
dren, including her daughter Emma, o
Mrs. Liebrecht. lived In the Hawaii home
stead, q short distance from Mankato.
Emma made a livelihood by dressmaking.
Last November Liebrecht began to pay her
attentions and then the prosecutions of the
family by an unknown enemy began. Let
tiers were posted on the Hawaii doors.
warning the Hawaii family that their home
would be burned. A similar letter was left
q few days later and the family paid no
attention to them, thinking It was the work
OF some mischievous boys. A strange man
was afterwards seen by neighbors lurking
around the house and peering In at the
windows Of the cottage. The man was
chased away and nothing thought of the
affair.
House f. Burned.
November Q the house was fred and
burned to the ground. and the Hawaii FAM
lily narrowly escaped death from the flames.
The prosecutors have never made known
their motive, and as Emma never received
attentions from any other man but Lie
brecht jealousy could not have been the
cause. A third letter was found near the
smouldering ruins Of their home, saying
the worst was to come. The Kawalls
then turned the case over to the sheriff,
who could get no clew to the identity OF
the parties.
Threatening letters followed each other,
all OF which were written In German. In
spite Of these continued prosecutions Lie
brecht and Miss Hawaii were married
lately, although Liebrecht was warned in
a later letter to cease paying attentions
to Miss Hawaii or his home would be
burned. For a while the letters ceased,
and the couple thought their prosecutors
had concluded to let them live In peace.
Lately Liebrecht was awakened by the
smashing Of one OF the windows in his
house n IN going out found wood and
trash piled against his door, and he saw
two men running away. A strict watch is
now being kept on the premises to prevent
the burning of Liebrecht's home, and the
whole village Is in a state Of excitement
over the affair.
