PLAiNVlEW MAN is GONE.
D. n. Fair, Merchant Burned Out
Left Hastily.

Plainview, Neb.. Oct 14-Special
to The News ID. II. Fair, one of
the merchants whose store was
burned in the recent fire, has left
town and has neglected in his de-
parture to liquidate number of f.
nancial obligations in Plainview. The
man whose house Fair lived in Is
holding the sack So is the tele-
phone manager. So, also, furni-
ture dealer and several others for
small amounts. 1t is thought Fair
went to Omaha. Before leaving he
told some of his creditors that he
had received no insurance money
and was unable to pay. To others
he said nothing, Good authority,
however, points to the fact that Fair
did receive his insurance. 1t is
claimed he hauled his household
goods to the train without knowledge
of people in town and when an at
tachment on property was attempted
the goods had gone.

LOCAL VIEW OF AWFUL AFFAIR.

The death of Johnny Wagner,
aged five, occurred last Saturday
morning. and in this appears to be
involved one of the most shocking
tragedies ever heard of in this vi
cinity Conflicting stories make it
hard to ascertain the true facts in
the matter, but the account first cir
credence in dicates that the little
boy was the victim of a deadly as
sault committed by two older school
mates and that his death was the di-
rect result of the brutal treatment
received at their hands. Johnny is
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. F.. A. Wag-
ner, living about one mile south of
town, and had been attending the
Oakdale schools, in the beginners
class. On Tuesday afternoon of last
week the little fellow came home in
an exhausted and injured condition
unable to hold his head up straight
but neither the boy nor his folks
then realized the serious nature of
his injuries. From the account the
boy gave his folks of how he got
upon by the boys. presumably in the
sandy lane west of the school ground
and while prostrate on his face in
the sand was jumped upon by the
boys, which severely injured or part
ly dislocated the upper part of his
spt, nlr
siderable sand into his mouth. He
gave the names of Sammy Black and
Nat Wilson, nineyear-old boys of
the primary department, as his as
sailants. So far as known, no one
else saw the affair. 1t developing
that the boy was badly injured, a
doctor was called who found the
boy suffering from severe injuries to
the spinal cord. The boy fingered a
few days, becoming partly paralyzed
after time, and died at 1 a. IN. Sat
urday A coroner's jury was empan-
eled and the inquest held Saturday
afternoon. The evidence submitted
to the jury was not sufficient in its
| estimation to enable it to declare
the cause of the fatal injury to the
boy or to fix the guilt upon any per.
son. The Black and Wilson boys
denied knowledge of the matter,
though 1t was reported they made in
eliminating admissions before the
fatal termination of the case. Were
the injuries inflicted accidentally or
unintentionally and without malice,
ii might do to stop here. But if the
little boy was assaulted in vicious
manner with intent to do him great
hurt, then it practically amounts to
murder and 1t will be most unfortu.
nate If nothing can be done to con.
vict the guilty parties and give them
penalty commensurate with the
crime. On Saturday afternoon the
funeral was held at the home. 1t is
a sad blow to the family. Johnny
had always been a strong, healthy
boy, and the cruel manner of his
death is an agonizing thought to his
family and friends.-Oakdale Sen
