TO KILL HIS WIFE.
Sherburne Man Charged With Max
ing Above Threat.

The Rutland Heral OF Wednesday
says:
Charged with threatening to kill
his wife, William Rickert of Sher-
burne, big brawny man, broke
down completely on the stand in
county court yesterday when ques-
toned about his children, two of
whom are dead.
Rickert was arrested on May II,
last, and placed in the house of cor
rection. When on the stand, he
testified Yesterday that his wife had
not been faithful to him, and that he
"threatened to expose her to the
world" He had an apparition
once, he said, at which time devil
or some other spirit told him to kill
his wife, but he never impaired that
information to her. He admitted
that he was under the influence Of
liquor when the spirit appeared to
him, but that he distinctly remem.
bered it to this day.
States Attorney w. II. Preston,
in the course of his cross-examina.
ton, asked Rickert IL he had any
children. He replied that he had,
two living and two dead. When he
mentioned the latter fact, the pris'
oner burst into teais and two OF
three minutes elapsed before he was
able to answer the attorneys mex
question.
Rickert, previous TO his arrest
conducted a blacksmith shop al
Sherburne, and was known, accord
ing to the testimony of two of his
neighbors, as quiet and good-na
tured man when not under the in
fluence OF liquor.
Rickert was found guilty, the iur,
taking only few minutes to de
eide the case. Sentence was re
served.

called q drum. Pounding with a sledgt
hammer on the bottom of an empty porl
barrel would make just as doleful noises

about four hours, when the cunning ami.
NAL took refuge in the thickets on tn;
margins of Red Rock creek.
Lots of the Otoe sQuaws are nov
gathering the seeds of pond lilies ant
dig the nicely tasting roots of the ia
nous plants. Large quantities of the
tender pond lily pods are gathered wher
green and are boiled and greatly rel

one of the favorite meats eaten by the
Otoes. They never eat possum or eels
and give pretty good heather reasons
for their repugnance to or v"eneration Of
these creatures.
"Faw-Faw, chief of the Otoes, dresses
in costly civilized apparel, a huge tur.
ley feather sadorns his enormous
slouched hat, and each of his cheeks has
a large blue star tattooed therein"
