BODIES SHIPPED HOME
Children Burned to Death on Rock
Creek Shipped to Home at
Tecumseh, Neb.

Friday evening Mr.. and Mrs.
James Cochran left Via the Omaha
road for their home at Teeumseh,
Neb With the bodies of their little
children, who we're burned to
death in the EorDing some six miles
northeast OF this CITY.
81 me later details and a little more
accurate was given The Republican
in the evening which showed a
different situation from the hurriedly
gathered information in the lateness
In the afternoon. The children
burned to death were a little girl
three years old and a little boy
nineteen months OLD. The fire
was discovered by a young man named
Jorgenson. and he gave the inior.
nation to the mother, who was
getting a pail Of water. 1t is stated
that she was not gone from the
camp over 10 minutes and the great
disaster happened within a very
short space Of time.
When the tent caught fire at the tor
it is presumed that it collapsed and
fell burning down on the children,
who were inside. The tent was
filed with trunks, a table, a cook
stove, cots, and clothes we're hang
ing on the line, in fact it was a
difficult matter to get through the
labyrinth of material slowed away in
the tent. When the top fell in the
rest Of the ini1ammanle material
Immediately caught fire and spread
over the entire interior. The child
rem managed 10 crawl out of the
bnrning material, the little boy
being found perhaps ten feet from
the tent and the little girl had
crawled a distance Of about SO feet.
That her clothes we're still burning
when she was creeping away from
the flames was evident from the fact
that the grass was burned long the
pathway OF her short journey. When
the mother reached the scene both
children were dead and their little
bodies were bare, all the clothes
being burned away and their flesh
was baked. For some little distance
around the tent the grass was
burned, having caught from the
names Of the tent.
Mr.. Cochran and bis men were .
half mile away working on the bridge
and they we're unable to reach the
scene Of the fire In time to offer any
help.
The bodies Of the children we're
brought to the city about 4 O'Clock
In the afternoon and placed 10 the
Noble Undertaking parlors, where
they we're made ready for shipment.

they we're drunk. went to the school
house and standing outside COM
pssSced to yell and wear and make
'a1 the possible noise to disturb the
people in the building. They were
rem onstrated With but to no purpose.
A complaint was filed a day or two
afterwa1d and the young men have
been under surveillance ever since.
Sunday two OF the young men,
Setterstrom and Fiedreoff, attempted
to skip out of the country. and
boarded the south Milwaukee pass
enger. Sheriff Cook learned Of their
departure and at once telephoned
Deputy Plotner, who had gone to
Ethan an hour or two before, to
watch for them on the train. The
deputy caught Fiedroeff and took
him, but didn't know that Setter
strom was on the train until Fled

him back to Ethan.

The SENATOR IS EXPLOSIVE
Senator Tillman Doesn't Mince Hi
Words in Talking on the Cues.
ton Close to His Heart.

Senator Ben Tillman, Of South
Carolina, is intensely in earnest
when he gets to discussing the
question as to what shall be done
with the negroes Of the Soluble
doesn't care what becomes Of the
northern negroes for he says be does
not have to deal with them.
At the Gale theatre Senator Till.
man addressed al audience of about
400 people Thursday evening and be
found many ready s%ympathizers as
he related the conditions with which
the southern people are confront ~
In disposiug of what they cle/ JNs
the white mans burden.
The senator was introduced to che
audience by Mayor o. l.. Branson in
a few brief words, and remarked on
the manner In which the senator had
been cartooned by the press as carry
ing a pitchfo1k over his shoulder,
and when the senator started In on
his speech he explained his pitchfork
attitude by a story.
After listening for two hours OF
the senator's discourse most everyone
was free to admit that he had pre-
sented the situation in the south, in
regard to the negro question, on a
different basis than tbev bad ever
viewed it before. The whole thing
in a nutshell is the fact that the
southerners absolutely decline to be
governed by the blacks. whose greater
number in that section makes it
possible. The senator gave the ex-
perieDce of South Carolina in the
eight years Of control by the negroes,
who filled all the state Offices by
reason of the fact that they out
numbered the whites by a majority
that was overwhelming. The senator
gave an interesting account Of how
they overcame the majority and
indicated that the whites had to
resort to stuffing the ballot box-tut
they accomplished their end.
The senator prefaced the main
points OF his lecture With some
southern ideas relating to the break.
