MURDER A
SENSATION
WAYNE COUNTY WROUGHT UP
OVER AFFAiR-GEORGE CON-
ARD BEAT CHILD's BRAINS
OFT WITH POKER AND FA-
TALLY INJURED WIFE.

Huntington, w. Va. March 81
Information was received here this
morning OF one of the most horrible
murders - that ever occurred In
Wayne county. Some time after IL
o'clock last night George b. Conard
attacked his wife and child, years
old, with a poker. He beat both OF
them into insensibility and made
~his escape.
The child was dead when neigh
bors ca>ae to the house. and the
wife. while s.ill living. had at noon
today not recovered consciousness
and there are practically no
chances for her recovery.
AS there were no witnesses TO the
murder and the wife has not been
able TO speak since the attack. II is
not known just how or what led to
the murder. The facts gained by
a deputy sheriff from Wayne. who
was here this morning to sound the
alarm for the capture OF Conard.
are:
Last night early in the evening
Conard was seen on the streets OF
Wayne badly drunk, and trying to
pick a quarrel with all he came in
contact. About o'clock this
morning a citizen came into Wayne
and told of a murder which was
taking place in the Conard home.
The farmer said he was passing the
house on his way home when he
heard hideous shrieks of a woman.
who was begging someone not to
kill her, while the assassin was
cursing in horrible manner At the
same time he heard the dull thud
OF a heavy weapon strike the wom-
an, who after one particularly
heavy blow fell to the floor.
He was afraid to go in the house
and walked to Wayne to sound an
alarm. Several were awakened
from their sleep and in a buggy
drove to the Conard home. Here
all was still and they entered the
door. which was not locked.
On the floor was the wife,
dressed in her night gown, with her
head and the upper part of her
body one mass OF gashes. She was
unconscious and all that could be
done to restore her was without
success. A doctor was hurriedly
sent for and has since been work
ing over her with little hope of saw
ing her life.
Close to her was the body OF
their child. The daughter had been
struck several times about the head
and from appearances had been
thrc"if against the wall. She was
dead when discovered. Near the
woman was a heavy iron poker COW
cred with blood. 1t was with this
weapon that the murderer had done
his awful deed.
AS soon as the murder was dis
covered Prosecuting Attorney Will
liam Fry was notified and took
charge of the running down of Con-
ard. The following description has
been sent out:
George b. v. Conard; weighs
$50 pounds, dark complexion, dark
scar on right side OF nose, dark
eyes, black hair, thin black mus
tache."
The local police are on the look
out for Conard, as are also the po-
lice of Ashland. Catlettsburg and
lronton and other towns in this sec
tfon.

The early part of the month was

Not much corn had been planted

a fine crop will result.
Blue grass pastures are without ex-

seed was never better. Farmers are
getting their shippers ready for
harvesting of the seed which will
commence about June 9TH. This crop
has been harvested too green in
many cases and has produced a poor
quality of seed.

Several farmers in different sec

wheat crops are now selling them al

There has been a fine yield of
wool and many farmers have pooled
their wool and have sold at a good
price.
The fruit crop IN many parts OF
the state has been damaged greatly by
the frosts and the snow of April 29th
Cherries, peaches and plums have

variety that win approach anything
like a full crop is that of STRAWBERRIES
Glover and meadows are showing a
heavy growth and will produce a
large crop of hay and are affordlng
splendid pasturage.
Not quite a full crop of dark to-
bacco will be grown this year and
about 60 per cent of the intended
crop has already been planted.
Gardens and truck patches whore
planted early are looking well and
are furnishing the market with some
of the early varieties. Tomatoes and
potatoes show a very Increased acre
age but on account OF season have
been late in planting. It is the opil-
ion of many gardeners that potato
bugs are worse than ever this year
They have not confined their opera
lions to potato vines, but have begun
on tomato plants. A few years back
they never seemed to bother tomatoes
but they seem to attack other vegeta-

Hemp is coming up fine after the
rainy weather, which has been fol

hemp has been planted.
There is a scarcity of cattle in Ken

responsible for the high price of

Corn is very high and grass fed
cattle are not ready for market. A
decrease in the price will not likely
be seen until the grass fed cattle
reach the market We advise the
holding of cattle until they are well

fore that promised or expected pos

thing more about the wishes Of the

change. The people surely know
what mail schedule will suit them
best-better than some Individual
who lives many miles away from the

been so long ago that we had
mail carried from Lewiston and
Juliaetta by stage and on horseback
that we need go back to that old
system, or one equally as bad, for a
short time just to remind US of the
past. There has been many things
transpired in the past that people do
not wish to recall andthe way we had
our mail sent years ago IS one of
them.

THURSDAY. JULY IS. 1908

A complaint has been made to the
Herald by members of the socialist
party that the county commissioners
have ignored them in appointing
election officers in this county for the
coming election. They also state
that they sent a list of socialist
names to the commissioners asking
recognition on the election board.
If this is the case its seems that it
was not a mistake but was the inten-
tor of the commissioners to not ap-
point any socialists on the election
board. Now We have not the least
doubt but what the election will be
conducted just as fairly and the votes
counted just as honestly as they
would be provided half of the cleo
ton board we're socialists and we be-
lieve that the majority of the socia-
lists believe the same, but that is not
the idea The law says: "The
selection of officers must, as nearly
as practicable, represent all the
different political parties or princi-
pies as represented by the nominees
in each county The socialists are
a political organization, put forth
candidates for the respective officers,
and as such a party are entitled to
recognition under the law on the
election board. The editor of the
Herald is not a socialist, neither is
he advocating their doctrine through
the columns of the Herald, mol of any
of the political parties as to that
matter, but it is advocating fair treat
ment of all parties and people at all
times and is glad at all times to lend
its aid to the correction ofthe wrongs
of any one no matter what party
he may belong to.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1908-07-23

The complaint made by the voter:
in the south part of Russell precinct
in this issue of the Herald is worthy
of consideration and while the COM
m~issioners may have done all they
could to give them the relief ask
ed yet their explanation is unsatis-
factory. The petitioners are tax
payers and voters and the petition
was circulated by themselves with
but one object in view-that of plac-
ing themselves in a precinct where
they could register and vote without
the loss of much time and less
trouble. They have the same right
to vote as any other citizen and it
would be but little trouble for the
commissioners to put them where
they have asked to go. Not a single
voice, so far al they have been in
formed, OBJECTED 10 the cnange Deng
made, but they are compelled to
stay in a precinct where it will take
each of them practically a day
more to register and vote than
it would if their request RAJ granted.
While it might take a little time and
be of some inconvenience to the com
missioners to alter their records and
make the desired change yet we do
not believe the trouble to them would
be one-fourth as much as it will cause
each individual petitioner who asked
for the change to go to Russell and
register and vote.
