Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
athe organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
-acrve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
fhe body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
impcrfectly. the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe-
site poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervine.
1t assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.

INVESTIGATED HUMPHREY CLUE
Humphrey Men Gave Accurate De-
scription Of Boche.

Madison, Neb., May Especial to
The News: The Humphrey clue as
to the route of escape taken by Her
man Boche, wanted for killing Frank
farmer in Norfolk just a week ago
this morning, and who was last seen
when Sheriff Clements shot four times
at him week ago tonight was look
ing up this morning, but whether or
not it would afford any valuable thread
of information that might lead the of
ficers to Boche, was problem that
none ventured to solve.
Deputy Sheriff Elley and County
Commissioner John Malone returned
last night from Humphrey, where they
spent the afternoon in running down
the reports that a man answering b.
che's description had been seen Fri
day night in Humphrey. They say
that one of the men who saw this
queerly acting stranger gives very
accurate description of Herman 30.
che, tall, slender, of dark complexion
and with a brown derby hat pulled
down low on his head.
Deputy Elley and Commissioner Ma
lone then followed the direction taken
by this tsranger south of town and
found a farmer who said that a man
of this same description slept in his
hayloft all night Friday night.
That was the extent of information
which could be gathered.

SHERIFF BACK IN MADISON.
Rather Doubted Whether Humphrey
Report Would Be of Any Value.

Rather Doubted Whether Humphrey
Report Would Be of Any Value.
Sheriff Clements, who remained in
Norfolk over night on his way home
| from the Wakefield search, left here
at II o'clock on the Union Pacific pas
senger train. He was glad that Deputy
Elley and Commissioner Malone had
investigated the Humphrey clue re.
garding Boche and said that as soon
as he reached Madison he and the
deputy would outline future action.
He was rather inclined to doubt if Bo-
che was the man who had been seen
at Humphrey, for the reason that this
stranger apparently made bold to en-
ter towns and slept at night while
BOche, he thought, would be apt to
keep away from towns and to sleep in
the daytime and walk at night. He
doubted further whether this clue, de-
veloping so long after the stranger
was seen in Humphrey, could be of
much real value in the search now. as
Boche, If it were he, could have had
ample time to get a great distance be-
tween Friday night, when the stranger
was seen, and Monday afternoon, when
the first information regarding the man
was received from Humphrey.
Tuesday evening Sheriff Clements
returned to Norfolk without Herman
Boche and with the Wakefield clue
punctured. The days work at Wake
field had failed to yield results and
left Boche's location as much as ever
in the dark.
Tuesday Sheriff Clements with Sher-
if Mears of Wayne and two deputies
made thorough visit to the home of
che, living seven miles southwest Of
Wakefield. The visit yielded no re-
suits 1t seemed that the earth, hav-
ing swallowed up Herman Boche dur
ing the night following his shooting of
Frank farmer, still offered thorough
protection for the fugitive.
Despite the fact that the story of
Tuesdays search had been published
in The News enough people chung to
rumOr that Boche had been captured
near Emerson or Wakefield TO furnish
quite a small crowd that braved the
chilly weather to wait about the de-
pot for the mans coming. But Boche
did not come and the crowd shivered
to no purpose.
Mrs. Herman Boche, who was at the
Henskey home near Wakefield on Mon
day and Tuesday, returned TO Norfolk
on the Tuesday evening train.
