Old Resident of LOnR Pine ts Believed
to Have Taken His Life.
LONG PINE, Neb., Nov. 1s.-Cspeoial
Telegram bitterly disheartened over a lit
tie domestic quarrel John Kurts, night fore
man at the Northwestern shops aud an old
resident OF this place, last night disap-
peared from home and had IN his possession
twenty grains Of strychnine capsules pur-
chased previous to his disappearance. with
these, It is thought, he has ere this ended
his life.
Yesterday afternoon Kurtz returned home
completely exhausted from overwork and
the loss of two nights sleep. Finding that
one OF his sons had failed during his alb
scence from home to carry out some In
structions with reference TO some chores
about the house. Kurtz undertook to punish
the boy and met with resistance. SEEKING a
stick from a nearby woodpile ,Kurtz was on
the verge of striking when the mother In
tervened. Kurtz then turned upon his wife
and might have dealt summariiy with her
only for the arrival and intervention OF
some neighbors. Kurtz then went up town,
purchased the strychnine and no clew to his
whereabouts has since been learned. Bust
ness men and many others today left town
to join the search parties and the town has
been almost devoid of male Inhabitants A
large party will be formed tomorrow and,
with the assistance of bloodhounds which
will arrive tonight. the entire county will
be searched. It is thought the missing man
has hidden himself in some remote place
prior to ending his career. Others believe
he has lost his mind and is aimlessly wan
dering about the country. He is Al years
old, sober and industrious and the father
OF five children. The KurtE family lie pros
trated with grief.

something to work on. The binder trade

features a general line of farm implements
and machinery, and is now making i'm
plements for export from the best colonial
patterns. Some of the local firms here
seem to think they will weather the storm,
but those who know the workings of the
enormous combinations of capital, and
who are aware Of the facilities for cheap
production possessed by the trust" know
that nothing can Withstand it's onslaught
in countries like Australia and New Zea-
land, where the local manufacturers have
not the same facilities. The International
people will be able to maintain very high
prices for their goods ana yet be able to
undersell local firms. The farmers of
Australia and New Zealand at present pay
higher prices for their implements and
machinery than do the farmers in any
other country.

KILLED BY MOVING MACHINERY
Body of Young Man Found Dead and
ManRIed on Shaft.

BEAVER CITY, Neb., Nov. 1S.-(Special
TeIegram.) THE dead and mangled body
of Earl stearns. an employe Of the Beaver
City mills, was found last evening wound
around a shaft of the mill which is stu
ated a. mile west of town. 1t is believed
he had been dead for fifteen minutes when
his lifeless body was discovered by the
proprietor Of the mill. The scene Of the
accident was in the basement where the
line shaft is connected with the water
power and where the various belts and
pulleys direct the power to the different
departments Of the mill. The unfortunate
man had gone to this place to put In
operation an auxiliary part of the ma
chinery. In some way he was entangled
in the moving machinery and met an
awful death whirling around the rapidly
revolving shaft. The lifeless body was
found dangling from the shaft, the broken
neck and many bruises indicating that the
body had been subject to much violence,
probably after life was extinct. 1t is be-
lieved the belt which encircled the dead
mans neck had choked out life before
a cry of alarm could be given. The con-
nection of belts, pulleys and shafting in
that part of the mill is not considered at
all dangerous. Just what accident befell
the young man is a mystery.
Mr.. Stearns had been employed at the
mill about a year. He was 10 years OF
age, a member of one of the Oldest families
Of the county and highly respected.

Hints of Prosecutions. -.
The attorney generals brief in the por-
ton written by Judge Sullivan dealing
with statutory construction hints at the
possible need Of instituting criminal prose-
cutions to supplement the injunction suit.
He says:
The states contention is that the act
Of 1887, the act of 1893, the Junkin act and
part Of the Gondring act QS9D are now in
against defendants was and is within the
reach and grasp OF the two general
statutes, though criminal prosecutions and
actions for damages for any of the special
wrongs covered by the special acts may
be, and perhaps must be, brought under
those acts. IL Is intimated by some OF the
defendants. and directly asserted by others,
SO far as this case Is concerned, may be
conceded to be plaintiffs posltion, grou thess
mentioned in the brief of Courtright a.
sidner This statute, dealing with
those within its reach eligible to the pub
lie service at the penitentiary, being ad-
mittedly unconstitutional, will be turther
light upon the intention OF the legislature
in the enactment Of other laws
1t is the business Of the courts, he says,
to determine the legislative will, since
there are no serious objections to the
procedure which resulted in the adoption
of the act of 1887, the act of 1898, that OF
1897. or the Junkin act.
