GUILTY Of FOWL MURDER.
SIXTY DEAD CHICKENS TELL
eREWsoME STORY.
CHICKEN BACK GOT ITS DUE

When Emil Moeller Returns From the
Aksarben He viii Find That His
Chickens Have Joined the Trust.
They Won't Lay Any More Eggs.
When Emil Moeller returns to his
home In Norfolk from the Aksarben
festivities, he will discover that his
chickens have joined the trust. They
will lay no more eggs.
For Emil Moeller's chickens are all
dead. They died mysteriously. They
we're murdered. They were not slain
red handed, because there was no
blood to be found around the scene OF
tragedy. But there is evidence to sup
port the belief that their taking away
was the work OF the "Black Hand" So
ciety. Poisoned stilettoes are suspect
ed.
This fowl murder was melted out to
three score meaty birds. The sixty
slain victims with nothing to say in
explanation Of their demise, were found
strewn around the yard.
These sixty chickens did not get 1t
where the chicken got the AK" They
were literally stabbed in the back.
Tiny little bloodless scars right In
the middle Of the backs of the chick
ems are all that tell the story. That's
why poisoned stiletto is suspected
by the neighbors. And in this peculiar
stabbing is the mystery.
For who would stab sixty chickens
in the back? 1t was done in the night
time and the morning October sun rose
I'D from the east to illuminate the
grewsome picture. 1t was as lifelike
a picture of death as the sun had evel
painted. And the cleverness OF Sher
lock Holmes was at once in demand
to solve out the mystery and run dowr
the slayers. At first thought, 1t mus
have been an enemy Of Emil Moeller
taking fowl advantage OF his absence
from home to get even. But that II
not so plausible because Moeller is
man of peace and few foes.
Could have been some boarding
house boarder, tired of the back Of tn
chicken, who had determined to rende
sixty chicken backs useless by inject
ing poison into them? But Danish tn
thought! Back up.
For whoever did the deed, there

The Council viii Also Put the Office
Of Police Judge on a Straight Salary,
u II Lies Within Their Authority to

The city council at their Thursday
evening meeting took steps to effect a
permanent police court reform.
The council instructed the mayor to
appoint committee to go after the fee
question. The committee will report
a way out OF the fee tangle at the next
council meeting.
This fee committee will consist OF
Mayor Durland, the city attorney and
three councilmen who will be named
by the mayor at once.
This committee Is expected to report
a city ordinance that will turn police
fees into the city treasury and give the
officers n compensatory increase In sal
aries. The Increase favored by coun
cilmen would raise the chiefs salary
from $50 to SIS and the salary OF po
lice from $50 to $50.
The councilmen favor going farther
II It can be done within the law the
committee was asked to also put the
Office OF police judge on salary basis
This would make the fee question
strictly a matter between the city ant

would be audited and allowed by thu
city council.

TAKEN TO OMAHA.
Norfolk Federal Prisoner May Plead
Guilty at Once.

The removal of Joe Mastilica, a fed
eral prisoner, from the Madison coun-
ty Jail to the Douglas county jail this
week does not mean that the federal
court in Norfolk is going to be de-
prived Of it's criminal cases in the face
of the new federal court law which by
it's reading seems to insist on at least
criminal cases going to trial in the
district where the crime was commit
ted. This assurance was brought to
Norfolk Saturday afternoon by Sheriff
]. j. Clements who was up from Madi-
son for the day.
Mastilica, sent down from Bassett
on the charge Of forging a postofice
money order and obtaining $40 there
on, was taken to Omaha last week by
Deputy Marshal Moore on a court or
der issued at the instance Of Mastil'
ica's attorney.
The announcement OF the removal
of the prisoner from the Norfolk dis
trict was a subject OF comment In Nor
folk and the fear was general that the
incident indicated that Norfolk fedora
court was to suffer through a dool
thrown open for the removal Of Grim
inal cases to the Omaha and Lncolr
districts. Sheriff Clements believes
that this fear is groundless.
Mastilica, he said, was taken to Oma
ha on the prospect that he might g
before Judge Munger there with
plea of guilty" to the charge agains
him. But in case this plea is not mad
and trial results, the Madison count,
sheriff says that court officers under
stand that the man will be brough
back to Norfolk for trial.

LIKE NORFOLK SALE YARDS.
There Was Every Indication That the
Attendance Would be Large.

There Was Every Indication That the
Attendance Would be Large.
"The Norfolk sales yards that have
been constructed for our use fully meet
our requirements" said c. M. Thomp-
son of Smith Brothers Land and Live
Stock company in Norfolk Monday for
the company's initial sale in this city.
I'VE are well satisfied with the yards.
They are more substantially construct
ed than the quarters we used at New
port and ought to hold about any kind
of western horse that Is put behind
the heavy posts and planks."
Before the sale had started a repre-
sentative bunch Of horse buyers were
In Norfolk for the sale. while the noon
trains brought other additions. Before
the sale opened members OF the firm
thought that the attendance at the first
sale in Norfolk would compare well
with the attendance at former sales.
The sale 1t was said would occupy the
greater part of the afternoon, running
from about to 6 o'clock.
Close to 1000 horses were shipped
to Norfolk during the three days pre-
ceding the sale. Most Of the ship
ments came from Crawford and Har'
rison. A majority of the horses were
heavy animals showing fat and run
ming up to 1,4OO pounds. There were
few Shetland ponies and some light
stock but most of the horses ran
heavy and many were farm raised.
