A Brutal Bad Man.

Charles Campbell, a railway man
who has been at Hennessey a short
time, is in the county jail, charged
with the murder of John Casperson
On Monday night, about midnight, as
the two men were in q, restaurant in
that place, Campbell drew revolver
and fired several shots through a
stove pipe. Then telling Casperson he
was going to shoot through his hat
he leveled his gun and fired. The bul
let went through Caspersons hat and
through his head also, splitting the
skull on top and producing a wound
from which he died the next day.-El

Arrested and Jailed.


Last night a shooting scrape occur
red between two negroes. r. r..
Graves and Morris Harrison, both par
ties shooting at each other, neither
one of their bullets taking effect.
From what the Ardmoreite can learn
it seems that Graves was sent out
to the corner OF c street and Sixth
Avenue. southwest, where some old
papers had been dumped, to set FIRE
to the pile of papers. The papers
were scattered pretty badly. some
being ia the street, some In the en-

papers the fence was also burned
Morris Harrison lives on the prem

about it, when we understand.
Graves used some language toward
her that was uncalled for
For this reason it seems that Har.

night. and the shooting scrape grew

and both were arrested and put in

RODERICK GETS OFF EASY
Jury Finds Him Guilty Of Simple Assault,
Which il Practical Aoquittal.
MAXIMUM PENALTY THIRTY DAYS IN JAIL
Trial of Henry Peterson, Charged with
Arson, Next Taken Up aud is Ex-
citing Great Interest at
Weston.

According to the verdict Of the jury in
the district court Otto Roderick, who was
charged with killing Clark Meyer, the rail-
way mail clerk, will eXpiate his offense by
a sentence not exceeding thirty days con-
nnement In the county Jail. The grand
Jury returned an indictment against Rod
erick charging him with manslaughter, but
the jury, after being out ali night, brought
in a verdict yesterday morning shortly be-
fore 8 o'clock finding him guilty Of simple
assault, the maximum penalty for which is
thirty days Imprisonment in the county
jail.
II is said that on the first ballot the jury
stood nine for ~acqulttal and three for con-
viction on the charge contained in the in
dictment, An effort was made to bring the
three over to a verdict for acquittal. but
they refused to be brought over. After
spending the entire night discussing the
case a compromise was reached and a YER
dict Of guilty of simple assault decided
upon, the verdict being practically an &C
quittal. In view of Roderick's admissions
before the coroner's inquest the finding OF
the Jury was a great surprise to County
Attorney Killpack.
The trial OF Henry Peterson, charged
with arson In connection with the burning
Of the store Of his brother, Petrus Peter
son, at Weston last January, was begun
yesterday. 1t was not until late in the aft
ernoon that a jury was impaneled and but
little evidence had been introduced on the
part OF the state when court adjourned for
the day. A large number OF witnesses have
been subpoenaed on both sides and the
trial is expected to occupy three or four
days at the least. The case has excited
much interest among the residents. Of Wes-
ton, many Of whom we're sufferers by the
fire which originated in the Peterson store
and the court room was crowded all day
by the people from that part Of the county
Judge Macy overruled the demurrer OF
Attorney H. G. Wernimont to the indict-
ment charging him with embezzlement and
Wernimont's trial is set to follow that OF
Peterson. The chief witnesses are now
residents of Omaha and 1t is possible that
the case may be continued over to the next
term.
