WAYNE TEAM RECOVERED
STOLEN HORSES FOUND AT WEB.
STER CITY, IOWA.
THIEF SHOOTS AND ESCAPES

It is Apparent From the Route Taken
by This Horsethief That Not All Of
the Animals Stolen From This vi.
cinity are Going Northwest.
Not all of the horscthleves who raid
west with their stolen property. Some
of them go into Iowa. The thief who
recently stole a team from Rick Law
man at Wayne was traced to Webster
City, Iowa, and the horses recovered
though the horsethief, by shooting at
to capture him, escaped. Il. p. Ohm
stead of Norfolk was in Wayne yester.
day and learned that the team had
been recovered.
The thief was seen trying to steal
a lap robe at Webster City. with this
ties began looking into the team that
he had driven to town and it was seen
that the horses answered the descrip-
tion of the team which had been stol-
en- at Wayne. The horses were taken
and kept The sheriff tried to capture
the man but the fellow opened fire
with a revolver and escaped.
Later he attempted to steal horse
from a farmer in that vicinity and the
farmer pursued. The thief opened fire
on the farmer and made good his es-
cape.
Either the farmer or the town man
received a bullet hole in his clothing,
but Mr.. Olmstead did not learn which.
This is the first team of the large
number of horses stolen in the north
west during the past several months,
to be recovered.
From the course taken by this thief,
it is apparent that some of the stolen
horses have probably been taken east
ward from here.
Anti horsethief associations thor
oughly organized all over northern Ne
braska are the only means, it Is de-
clared, that will check this reign of
horse stealing.

WOMAN TRIES 70 END LIFE.
NEIGH WOMAN CUTS THROAT
WITH PAIR OF SCISSORS.
SHE MAY RECOVER THIS TIME

Her Baby Later-ls Thought to be
Deranged-Had Been Closely Guard
ed at Home.
Neigh, Neb., Oct 25.-Special to
The News: Though continually
watched both night and day since last
Monday Mrs. A. II. Phillips attempt
ed suicide yesterday afternoon at her
home in this city by cutting her throat
with a pair of scissors. She no doubt
is mentally deranged, which is pre-
sumed to be the cause of the act of
self destruction.
Mrs. Phillips had been visiting a sis
ter at Valentine for a week or more
and imme diately upon her return home
Monday noon her husband and Mrs.
Allen noticed that she acted quite
strangely and proceeded to remove all
articles from the house that she could
use to end her life, as this is what
her mind was made up to do. She
was watched closely until yesterday
when she slipped up stairs, apparently
out of sight for only moment, but in
that time she had secured a pair of
scissors and cut her throat in a zig
gag shape in several places before her
husband could get to her. A surgeon
was called who dressed the wound and
gave the patient as much relief as
possible He states that no large
veins were severed, and with quiet
and proper care she will recover. AT
her Mrs. Phillips had recovered con-
seriousness she said that she did not
care to get well, and insisted that she
will yet end her life at the first oppor-
tunity, and that of their little child
also. At times she seems to be ra-
tional, and has craving for NOR
phine.
