BRASkA.
ENDS A LONG SEARCH
Prisoner Admits His Identity to Of
ficers at Lincoln and Will Come to
Iowa Without Requisition = His Al
legged Victim Was William H. White.

Oskaloosa, March 30.-(Special.)- y
After apparently dropping out of ex-
istence for over six months, James
Lubbins, negro, was arrested in Lin
coin, Neb., yesterday and is being held
by the authorities there to await the
arrival of officers from this city who
will bring him here to answer to the
charge of murder. According to eye
witnesses, Lubbins, who is compare
lively young man, struck the blow
that resulted in the death of William
Henry White, an aged white man, at
Buxton on September %, 1908.
Story of Fatal Quarrel.
Lubbins is the son of a liveryman
at Buxton and was known among the
miners as a peaceable man except
when he was under the influence of
liquor. On September %, 1908, Lub-
bins and a companion were drinking
In front of new building in Buxton,
directly across the street from the
senior Lubbins' livery barn, when
White, homeless miner who had
been in Buxton few months, ap-
preached them and asked for drink.
Both Lubbins and White were intoxi-
Gated to some extent, it is claimed, and
when the negro refused to divide his
liquor the old man is alleged to have
cursed him.
Hot words ensued and finally, ac-
cording to the story of Lubbins' friends
the old man thrust his hand in his
pocket as if to get knife or revolver
whereupon the negro picked up piece
OF scantling lying in the doorway of
the new building and struck White a
terrible blow upon the head.
lubbins Makes His Escape.
Considerable excitement ensued ant
while White was being carried to his
boarding house and an attempt was
made to revive him. Lubbins hasteneG
across the street, hitched up one Of
his fathers teams, and drove rapidly
out of town. From that day until mes
sage was received here last evening
from Lincoln, not word has beer
heard of the man. White died without
regaining consciousness.
Admits His Identity.
The Mahaska county authorities sem
out cards describing Lubbins, all ovel
the country, and yesterday afternoon
the negro was recognized by Lincolr
officer from his picture and was taker
in custody. 1t is stated in dispatch
from that city that he has admitted
his identity and says that he STRUCK
White because the latter was coming
toward him with a gun. Lubbins ha.
agreed to come to Iowa without re
QUESTION papers and a Mahaska county
official left for Lincoln last night tc
bring him back.
