Saw the Body and Two Young Men
Running from 1t and Third
Searching It-Why This Informa-
ton Was Suppressed by His Rela-
Iyes.
Special to The Journal.


Owatonna Mimi. Feb. 10.-An eye-w1t-
ness of the murder Of Harry krler mas
been discovered in the person OF an IL
year-old Bohemian boy living north Of
this city, not far from the scene of the
murder, and his story confirms the guilt
of Charles and Henry Nelson who are
serving life sentences at Saltwater and OF
William Sutton who died there recently.
The boy was on his return from school
and was coming along the railroad track
when he saw the tragedy He saw two
young men resembling the Nelson's run
away from the body and the third man
search the body. He became frightened
and ran back toward the city.
His story is believed and goes to confirm
the testimony given by Sutton, by the
engineer who saw the dead body and men
on the hill from his train as he passed
the spot that afternoon and also by Sheriff
Misgen who testified to seeing the two
Nelson's go up the hill.
Dislike and fear Of having anything to
do with courts, which is said to be char
acteristic of this nationality, caused the
boys relatives to suppress the informa-
ton. County Attorney Littleton will Sc
cure an affidavit from the boy to prepare
for any possible future moment to get
the Nelson's pardoned and to satisfy the
citizens of Owatonna
The newly discovered evidence has
stirred up n majority Of citizens in this
vicinity who are displeaSed with the &C
ton of the board of pardons in committing
the sentence of the Nelson brothers.

Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. Ex-senator
Hughes antipass bill appeared in the leg
islature to-day. It is modelled along the
same lines as the one he introduced two
years ago. 1t provides that neither mem
bers Of the legislature, state officers,
judges of the district, superior or SUI
preme court or county officers shall &C
cept railway transportation. The same
ban is placed on franks.
Senator Hughes is the republican SEN
ator from the Iowa-Johnson district. He
recently abandoned a plan to introduce
his antipaSS measure as an amendment
to the constitution and let it go before
the people for a vote.
The senate committee on ways and
means has voted unanimously to report for
passage the bill, by Lewis, requiring the
deposit of state funds where they will

Barnett Not Dead.
The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of j. L. Barnett, a foreman of
the American Bridge company, has been
cleared up by the discovery that he is
in Mexico and has assumed his old po-
sition with the company.
Barnett disappeared from this city in
July, 1902, while he had charge of the
construction Of the Great Western bridge.
He was seen one evening at the bridge
and was known to have $1,000 with which
to pay off his employees. Nobody saw
him after that, and murder was suspected.
A few weeks later an injured man found
dying on the railroad track near Topeka,
Kan, was identified as Barnett and his
clothes were taken in custody by broth
er, and the body inferred in Missouri.

Judge William Conner, one Of the old

TOPS the List in Proficiency,

IOWA CITY, IOWA-The 1908 report Of the
general inspector Of small arms practice of the
Iowa national guard, Colonel W. E. Il. Morris,
Of Algona, shows that Company I, .Fifty-fourth
infantry, of this city, took first place with a
proficiency Of 1869. This company stood second
last year. ..... ...
The result Of the years practice is very salts
factory. but it is impossible to make a close
comparison on the work of previous years, as
new system has been followed-that laid down
by the department. Twelve hundred men,
or over so per cent of the entire state force,
averaged 40 per cent or better at 200 yards.
The Fifty fourth regiment stands first in pro-
fciency. This is great improvement, as it
was fourth last year. The Fifty-sixth regiment
takes second place, the same as last year. The
F1fty-third stands third, dropping from first
place, while the Fifty-ffth is in fourth place.
The four companies ranking below Company
take positions as follows: Company NJ Fifty
fourth regiment, Fairfield, second, 94.6; Company
NJ, Fifty-sixth regiment, Sac City, third, 55.5
Company K, Fifty-sixth regiment, Emnnetsburg
fourth 51.7, and Company 1, Fifty third regi-
ment Waukon, fifth, AT.
Colonel Morse is high in praise of results
gained thru the organization of the State Rifle
association. There is an increasing interest in
rife practice thruout the state, and there is
sure to be great improvement in craftsmanship.
