ELsAM HELD FOR WIFE MURDER
AxteII Farmer Given n Preliminary
Hearing and Bail In Refused,

MINDEN, Neb., June 17.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-A large crowd, testing the capacity
of the court room, was present today at the
preliminary hearing in the case against
George w. Elsam, charged with killing his
wife at their home on farm near Axtell
June g. He was held without bail to the
district court, which will sit in September
A strong but futile effort was made by
j. l.. McPheely and NJ. d. King who ap-
peared for the defendant, to have him ad-
mitted to bail. No testimony was intro
duced by the defense and the testimony of
the state only established the death of the
woman without the evidence of motive or
the fact that he killed her further than his
own statements made after he had gone to
town the day the crime was alleged to
have been committed.

ployed to assist County Attorney Paulson

seven times round the house holding

MONSTER SNAKE
Makes It's Appearance in Ken
lucky Twice a Year for
Fifteen Years.

The giant snake which is supposed
to live in the cliffs of Southwestern
Hardin county. has again made its
appearance. A few days since il
crossed the Hardin Springs road
near Pole Bridge Church, leaving
a huge wriggling trail in the dust
two and one half inches deep and ele-
ven inches wide.
This enormous reptile made its first
advent in that section some 10 years
ago, and since that time has crossed
the public highway near the same
point twice each year. once in the
spring and again in the early au-
tumn. During this time it has been
sighted by a number of different
persons, among them some of the
most reputable citizens of Hardin
county. who uniformly described it
as a monster reptile with its great
body. almost as large as a mans
waist, checkered over with spots of
black and gray and estimated at II
or Il feet in length. At no time
has it ever shown fight or appeared
to so much as notice the presence of
those who have seen it. except on one
occasion several years ago, when be-
ing suddenly encountered by some
hunters in the thick underbush near
the road side, the serpent stood erect
on its tail. shaking its mammoth
head with expanded jaws over the
tops of the bushes and the panic
stricken hunters scampered away.
Some years since it was seen on one
of its semi-annual prowls by Mr.. S.
f. Taber, of Vertrees, one of the
prominent farmers of the county
when it crossed the road just in front
of his four horse team and became
entangled in rickety old fence.
flonudering off several rails in its
efforts and disengage itself. 1t has
been noticed that this great serpent
crosses the county road to westward
every autumn. and it is supposed to
have its habitation in some of the
numerous large ragged and cliff
riven cliffs or deep caverns that
abound in the region of Hills Mill, on
Rough Creek, perhaps alternating
in some comfortable abode, whence it
issue forth at certain periods ac-
cording to its serpentine habits.
There is considerable talk of an or
gained effort to locate its resort,
and, if possible, to capture the par
triarch reptile.

DOG SAVES KITTEN
And KidnapS the Little Animal
From the Mother
Cat.
lChicago 1'ribune.l

"A cat belonging TO a departmental
professor at Chalous-sur-M Marine had
kittens. The owner, wishing to
keep only one of them, gave the
order for the rest to be drowned.
But, by an unfortionate mistake
made by the servant, who was act
ing as executionor one of the kittens
instead of being carried away by the
stream, remained on the mud heap
little distance from the bank. The
poor cat which had followed the
servant, waited till the latter had
disappeared, and then vainly tried
to get the kitten back. The distance
however was too great, and its eff
forts were fruitless.
Meanwhile its dispairing mewing
had been heard by a dog belonging
to neighbor an enormous Danish
dog mother of a litter of pups. 1t
ran to the spot, and, although it and
the cat were not as a rule on friend
ly terms all differences seemed mo-
mentarily forgotten, and the rival
ries of race and neighborhood disap-
peared before most ludable feeling
of solidarity.
AS if plying the distress and a1x-
iety of its former enemy, the dog
stretched forward, took hold of the
kitten. which was half dead with
fear and covered with mud, deposit
ed it near its mother. and remained
close by, showing the keenest inter-
est in the rejoicing and the subse-
quent washing Of the mite.
But presently the scene changed.
As soon as the poor mother had put
its kittens into clean garments, so to
speak, it tried to carry it away; but
the dog, which so far had sat per-
fectly still got up began to growl in
the most threatening manner, and
with heavy spoke of its large paw
made the mother put the baby down.
The poor terrified cat, not daring to
enter upon a fight, the issue of
which was bound to be unfavo Die
to it, crouches in front of its kitten
which now was threatened by a new
danger, and mewed dolefully and
helplessly.
The dog, however, took no notice,
but, taking the kitten getty be-
tween his teeth as Il it were a pre-
cious game bird, carried it in tri-
umph, with tail erect, to its litter.
For a week it fed its new nursing as
it fed its own children, and the kitten
and the pups played wildly exciting
games together in peace and unity.
But. alas! on the night of the ninth
day the heavy Danish dog in its sleep
suffocated the small foster child
which it had saved from drowning
and had made welcome in its own
domain.

STRENUOUS LOVER
Won a Bride by Making Three

tChicagO journal
There are those who believe that
love was stronger and truer in the
prehistoric days when young Romeo
clad only in sunlight. batted his
Juliet over the head with the thigh
bone of dinosaur and carried her
TO his cave. where they lived happily
ever after. So far as it is known,
there were no divorces in those
days.
Strength, aggressiveness, daring.
brute force count with woman to-
day.
A Rome dispatch tells of young
Italian that loved flower girl in
tensely. She wouldn't have him.
She laughed thin publicly, and he
stabbed her in the neck.
He wore a ball and chain for six
months for that.
In his second attempt at matrimo-
ny he used stiletto and had the
lady pretty we'll carved when the
police came. He served a year for
assault. and again came to the front
with prctestations Of undying love.
The lady said no. and he blew up her
house with dynamite. The kitchen
flew over the barn and the parlor
disappeared into the cellar, while
the girl was taken to the hospital
and her lover went TO Jail.
Now. you would naturally think
that the young woman would have
cheerfully seen her assailant boiled
in oil or drawn and quartered, all of
which shows how little you know of
woman's heart.
On her knees she went before
the Judge and begged the law to ex-
cuse the man that loved her so well.
The Judge couldn't quite excuse the
dynamiting. but he made the SEN
tence as light as possible and later
the couple were married and are
said to be living happily.
OF course. it wouldn't be wise TO
advise lovers to go a wooing with
gatling guns or dynamite. but GER
tain it is that the strong man the
fellow that does things. can COM
mand respect and love. II has been
that way since the time of Adam.
