DEATH FOR EXPORTING MONEY
Willard Smith Of FilIey Plots Villainy and
Is Killed.
DEMANDS P. 7. LEwElLENs CASH
Takes IL from Hiding Place in MethO-
dist Church and Falls Before
the Gunhre of Secret
Watcher.

BEATRICE, Neb., March 16.-(special
Telegram.)--P T. Lewellen, one OF the
leading business men Of Filley, received a
letter last evening, directing him to place
$3.50 in a package and put the parcel In
the side room of the vestibule OF the
Methodist church promptly at 7:45 tonight.
The writer said among other things that
II Lewellen failed to obey orders the writer
would burn his store and stock, which are
valued at s15, 900. and that he would also
poison the stock upon his farm.
The receipt of the letter was a terrific
blow to Lewellen, who is a highly respected
citizen. Sheriff Waddington was notified
of the affair and he at once gave instruc-
tions detailing the procedure to take to
capture the writer.
Arrangements were made and at the exact
time the package of money was deposited
as the letter directed and four brave men
who had been selected watched the coming
OF the man who was suddenly to become
the target Of their firearms, with which
they we're amply provided.
few minutes before o'clock the watch
ers spied a man approaching the church
entrance alone. He opened the church
door and grabbed the package. Although
he was called upon to stop. he made a
break for liberty, but did not get far. A
shot fired by Frank Shadley brought him
to the ground and he was captured. He
rapidly succumbed to his wound. Sheriff
Waddington was notified by telephone and
left at once for the scene, but the man was
dead before he arrived.
The dead man proved to be Willard
Smith, a prominent young man, about %
years OF age, who resided with his parents
a mile and a half from Filley, and who has
always borne a high reputation, as have
his people. No motive can be given for
the holdup, as the young man was in nc
way restricted in financial affairs.
Coroner Walder will go to Filley in the
morning to hold an inquest. 1t is said that
Mr.. Shadley did not intend to shoot tC
kill, but in the dark miscalculated his
target.

EXPECT TO CATCH PLoTTERS
Detectives Spread Net Around Those
who Demand Tribute Under
Threat of Kidnapping.

PITTSBURG, March 16.-The Dispatch to-
day publishes the following:
Repeated threats to abduct his three chill
dren unless a ransom of $25, 900 was left
in a certain spot and warning that muir
der would follow the placing of detectives
on the case, have caused Alexander r.
Peacock, former first vice president and
general. .salsa agent o.. the Carnegie COM
pany to remove his little family tempo
rarily from his Lexington avenue home to
the Holland house, New York. The case
was put in the hands of detectives and, it
is said, arrest Of the guilty parties is now
practically certain.
About two weeks ago, during the abb
sence from home of Mr.. Peacock, a letter
was received at the Lexington avenue
house through the mails, addressed to him.
Mrs. Peacock opened the envelope and the
letter was found to be a warning that the
three bright little children Of the family
would be kidnapped unless Mr.. Peacock de-
posted $685. 900 in money at a certain ap-
pointed spot on North Highland avenue.
The letter was unsigned. Not many days
later a second letter was received by Mr..
Peacock stating that the sender was aware
Of the fact that detectives had been put on
the case and that II the money was not de-
posted In the designated place tne hIlter
would not only steal the children, but would
murder them. This second letter produced
CONSERVATION in the family.
Mrs. Peacock became Ill, and, thinking 1t
necessary that his wife should have the
services of distinguished New York physi-
clans, Mr.. Peacock removed her, together
with the children. to New York. where they
have since resided.
Detectives here who are familiar with the
Peacock kidnapping cases believe the let
ters to Mr.. Peacock were written by the
same man who at different times In the
| last two years has written many letters TO
prominent men in this section, threatening
kidnapping, assassination and other calami-
| ties to those who failed to leave money at
| designated places 1t is generally under
stood that the man is merely a crank and
his threats are empty ones.
