came to the farm house of William

ant passed over the trestle to this side
of the river and then went across the
outskirts of town to the Omaha track

caught by Charles Kruger and f.. A.

ing pleaded guilty to the charge. In
default of bail he was taken to Jail at

The matter will probably be taken

Alton, Sept 3.-Early Monday morn
ing the Munger House was destroyed
by fire. The origin of the blaze being
supposed to have been at one of the
flues at the top of the building, as the
fire was first discovered on the roof,
but the structure was as dry as finder
and being old and inf1ammable, 1t was
seen almost from the beginning that
the building was doomed. Great fears
were entertained for. the surrounding
property, and telephone message was
sent to Creston for assistance, which
was quickly extended, the chemical en-
gihe being loaded on a fiat car and
number of firemen accompanying the
apparatus to Alton. On arrival the
flames had gained so much Roadway
that the chemical could be of no as
sistance in quenching the flames, altho
the engine was held in readiness to as
sist in putting out any fires that might
be started in adjoining property.
The building which was consumed
by the flames this morning is the old
est hotel in the county, having been
erected long before the railroad came
thru, and the hotel was one of the
we'll known resorts for those who ira
veled thru this section of the state

was seen in Port Byron. ILL.,, last week
The clue is being looked after by De-
tective Garland, who is ut work on the

There is every reason to believe that
Williams secured no big haul if he did
murder the Humans and make away
with what money they had saved up
1t is thought that hundred dollars
would have been the limit. In that case
he can not go far, and maybe he thinks
that by staying around in the smaller
! river towns he can successfully dodge
the police and will not be in danger OF
being captured as much as If he had
taken a long journey.
The description of Williams sent on:
