FOUND A REVOLVER
POSSIBLY a New L5ht on Lille Case
Weapon Drawn From Well

David City, Neb., April 9.-Thert
was considerable excitement in the
city Monday afternoon when
1t was rumored that revolver had
been found with which it is posi-
BILE that Harvey Lille was killed.
Upon investigation it is learned that
A. l.. Hughes had employed James
Clark to clean out an old well that
had not been used for several years,
the property being'occupied by a ten
ant. Mr.. Clark went to work this
morning and as soon as he went down
into the well, which had very little
If any water in it, he found thirty
two calibre six shot medium length
barrel, rim fire revolver loaded with
cartridges, twosof them had been shot.
The gun is bright looking one and
compares exactly with the one Mrs.
Lille told the officers that the man
held in his hand when he did the
shooting, as to being bright and
glistening. = The well where the re.
volver was found is about one hum
dred feet from the Lille residence and
at the time of the murder the premiS-
es were occupied by-Arthur Pepper.
The .oflicers say that the bullets in
the cartridges with which the revolt
yer is loaded are exactly as those
found in Lilies brain and in the
barn three Kindred feet away. The
revolver is in the possession Of Coun-
ty Attorney Evens, who declines at
this time to give any further descTip-
ton Of it than above stated. The
motion for a new trial will be argued
and submitted to Judge Good on
April II, and it is question of con-
lecture as to whether or not the find
ing of this revolver will have any
effect on the motion for new trial.

Raiiroading h m to Asylum

indianapolis, Ind, April 11.-An
effort to mold an insanity commission
on Rufus Cantrell, the negro who is
charged with grave robbing, broke
up in row today. Charges Of bribery
were openly made by one Of the attor-,
neys representing Cantrell. 1t was
also charged that an effort was being
made to "railroad" Cantrel to the
insane asylum SO that he could not
appear as witness against DR.. Alex
ander, whose trial is set for next
week
When Suier Emerich declared the
court open and that the examination
of witnesses would begin, prosecutor
Ruchlshaus protested against the pro-
ceedings He said:
II have right to see that no man
is "railroaded'' to the insane asylum
instead of getting his just dues for
crimes committed against the state.

mand that this commission contin-
ne the inquest until after the trial Of

Valance could duplicate the feats

He could not tell how he knew his

He could give instant answers to such

Cotton Raising in Russia.

A. Ahrens, a cotton buyer for large
firm of cotton manufacturers in Mos
COW, Russia, spent nearly a year in
the United States. He purchased an inn
mense consignment of raw cotton fot
manufacture in the mills Of Moscow,
which is the principal Russian point
for the milling of cotton. Mr.. Ahrens
confesses to the admiration for this
country without which few foreign Wis
itors are afflicted.
There is considerable cotton raised
in Asiatic Russia" said Mr.. Ahrens to
a reporter for the Washington Times,
"but 1t is not enough for the demand
from the mills. Consequently the
American market Is drawn upon. At
the present time all the cotton is
shipped to Moscow by water-that is,
it comes most of the way by water.
When the Trans-Siberian Railway Is
completed most of it will be shipped
by rail.
Russia is very proud of this new
railway, which will entirely revolu-
tionize conditions in Siberia, which is
q superb farming region. On the rail-
road all the engineers are Russian.
Very few Americans or Frenchmen or
Germans are employed"

thousands of homes. An old King has
laid aside his crown and his Jewels
and the cares of state, and will no
longer play the part of father to his
people. Why did he do it? Perhaps
he was tired of it all. Pomp, cere-

seem very fine when age has not laid
its heavy hand on monarch; but
when the end of life approaches, adu-
lation, fame ambition, all become bau-
