about two years but the sheriff has
been unable to locate the defendant
who has been out of the state since
shortly after the alleged crime, until a
few days ago when he appeared In
Plainyiew, where he was arrested
Some excitement was afforded just be-
fore the hearing when Julyan and
Jacob Rail, the later the father of the
girl victim of the alleged crime, met
face to face in a local saloon and at
the point of a 3S.calbre revolver in
the hands of Rail Julyan was politely
advised that he was as well as dead.
The sheriff disarmed Mr.. Rail and lat.
er Rail was fined for carrying con.

he would have wished the gun might
have been.

FARMER LOST FROM VIEW
FRANK CASTER, NEAR WEST
POINT, DISAPPEARS.
NO KNOWN CAUSE FOR ACTION

Leaving Home Presumably to Visit His
Brotherin-Law and Neiehbor, Max
Gehrhardt, He Has Not Been Seen
Since.
West Point, Neb., Feb 17.-Speclal
to The News: Frank Caster, middle
aged farmer, living on the old Demary
farm, midway between Beemer and
West Point, has mysteriously disap-
Ipeared.
After supper on Wednesday evening
he left home ostensibly to call on his
brother-in-law and neighbor, Max Gehr-
hardt. Failing to return on Thursday
morning it was ascertained that he
had not been at Gehrhardts the pre-
ceding night. Organized search was
made but up to this time without re,
suit.
The father of Mr.. Caster died some
weeks ago and during his sickness
Frank stayed at his bedside constant
lly, depriving himself OF needed rest
and sleep and almost breaking down
comfort. 1t may be that the burden
and strain of his long vigil has unset
tied his mind and he has wandered
Iaway, otherwise no reason can be
given for his disappearance.
He is a model citizen, born within
a mile of his present home, a sober
industrious man of unblemished char
Iacter.
