Bound Over to District Court,

The second preliminary hearing OF
Mrs. Hutchinson and her son Charley
and Harley Feazle for the murder Of
Eli Feazle was held in Nelson before
co unity Judge Dysart.
This Eli Feazle lived neal Bostwick
and last fall it vas reported he had
gone to HUMBOLDT to visit q brother
Later this was found to be untrue and
these three persons we're arrested for
the murder and had q preliminary
nearing and we're discharged for lack
Of evidence.
Since that time the farm had be en-
rented by Mr.. Joseph Stanley. On Nay
ID while blowing, one Of his horses sank
to his knees in the soft dirt in q hole
filed with grass aud earth.
Help was summoned aad they dug
out Of hole a whiskey bottle, some hair,
a human hand, and ONE clothing.
The clothing and hair looked like that
OF Feazle and the county officers were
notified. The hole looked like it had
been dug out, a body removed and then
refilled. Buggy tracks were also
found. The same parties were again
arrested and are now having their trial.
Besides the S,anleys' evidence, given
above, a liveryman from Red Cloud,
+. Johnston, testified that on May 8
Charley Hutchinson hired a team and
left there at 80 Ia the evening and re.
turned the next morning with the
horses completely tired out and the
buggy smelled as though sarrion had
been hauled in 1t and the undertaken
from Red Cloud, b. +. Muntz, swore
positively it was the odor Of a decayinp
human body. Mr., Henry, for whom
Hutchinson was working, testified tina,
he was absent from their place from
the 9Th to the 9th, about the time t.
body was supposed to have been re
moved, and that their spade was mis-
sing about that time.
A peculiar.shaped shoe on the team
driven from Red Cloud was recognized
in the tracks around the grave where
the hand was found.
What was supposed to be a grave
was found under a shed attached tc
the house and on being dug out a large
s wrench about fourteen inches long
was found with a dark stain supposed
to have been blood.
After hearing the evidence Judge
Dyssrt held the prisoners over to the
district court, which convenes in
Nelson next September.
The prosecution Is conducted BY
County Attorney z. ID. Brown, assisted
By the Stubbs brothers. The prisoner,
are defended solely By the Hon. r. d
Sutherland, who also defended them Ia
thsiy irst trial.

Found the File.

Last Sunday morning Sheriff Nc
Arthur was informed, by Sheriff Shell
burn Of Harlan county, Of he where
abouts Of the file which Henry Wood.
man and Jake Kohn had used In their
recent attempted Jail breaking in Red
Cloud. Woodman and Kohn were
held in the Webster county Jail to
await trial at Alma for burglary and
had been confined in one Of the upper
tier of cells, and had succeeded in I'LL
ing through the curved bar OF the
lock which held the bars to the win
dow of their cell. 1t was first suspect
ed that they had used an aluminium
comb to do the work, but Woodman,
who pleaded guilty at the trial, con
fessed using IA file and told that the
file was hid in one of the air chambers
of the cage, where Sheriff Macarthur
found it. Woodman was sentenced to
two and a half years in the peniten-
tiary. Kohn tried the insanity dodge
to escape the ~penitentiary and was
taken to the asylum at Lincoln, but
after a few days there he concluded
he would rather go to the penitentiary.
He was brought back to Red Cloud
last Tuesday evening and will be held
here until the fall term Of court In
Harlan county.

The story comes from Washing
ton that Willie Hearst S real object
in pushing his carefully nursed and
apparently fourishing boom is
merely to ascertain how many dem
scrats are susceptible to the wiles
q the Hearst dollars, his ultimate
ooIect being some sensational ex-
posures in the Hearst papers
Whether the story be well founded
or not, it IS no doubt true that the
net of the ambitious young journal
St-politician has already caught
quite a number Of. democrats who
are in politics for revenue only a.
yell as some alleged democratic
newspapers. The history of the
sNertureS TO these weak brothers and
heir yielding would undoubtedly
make very interesting reading, and
Mr.. Hearst would do the country
an immense favor by giving his IN
side information to the reading
public. Should events prove that
such has really been his intention
Ill along, he would win the admira-
ion OF an applauding nation for
greater astuteness than most
thinking Americans have hereto
fore given him credit for possess
ing Show up the venality OF
those democrats who are for sale. |
Mr.. Hearst, purify the party, and |
you may then claim almost any
siling that IS in the power of the
democracy to hestow.

BORDER IS SOAKED.
Rain Extended About 400 Miles Along
Rio Grande River.

Laredo, Texas, April "A five
months drouth was broken early
this morning by a heavy down
pour of rain. Two inches had
fallen by O'Clock this evening
and the clouds are still lowering
with fine prospects of another heavy
fall tonight.
The rain extended to the mouth
of the Rio Grande and the National
Railroad Offices in this city report
a heavy rain on their line as far
west as Saltillo.
On the Texas Mexican the pre-
cipitation was heavy to Corpus
Christi, a cloudburst occurring at
Aguilares on that road at s O'CLOCK
this morning.
Local seed stores have been busy
today selling cotton and cane seed
and seed corn. Heavy crops will
be planted all along the Rio Grande,
the farmers having been waiting
only for rain.
Local stockmen say the rain is
ample to produce all abundance of
grass and that great activity will
now be witnessed iii stock circles.
