ROSALIE TRAGEDY RECALLED
Discovery of Little Girls Dead Body
Unravels TaneIe.


The following incidents in the Ros-
allie tragedy are recalled by the Ere
mont Herald:
Little Lillian Olson was lost Dec.
ember 9, last.
She started to the fields with her
brothers, who sent her back home.
On the return trip she was seen to
leave the path, but her brothers, know
ing that she knew the way so well
paid no further attention to her.
When the family gathered at sup.
perfume, the baby was missing. A
search was started for her at once.
Wild rumors and crazy theories few
thick and fast After fruitless
search for a week, a popular theory
was that the child had been kidnapped
Another was that an eagle had
caught the little one up in its talons
and successfully made way with her
Still another had its inspiration in
cheap newspaper fakir from Omaha
who inveigled an officer into giving it
out that a piece of the child's tongue
had been found, and this was exploit,
ed in an ra-eXtraordinary edition
of Fremont daily with the officers
picture prominent in the foreground
1t was afterwards learned that the
piece OF flesh was cribbed from an
Omaha butcher shop by the Omaha
fakir, and used as bait for some
| cheap advertising.
Sheriff Bauman at one time brought
Mr.. Olson to tnis city and subjected
him to a rigid cross examination and
it was published at the time that the
old man was under strong suspicion
of hay.;;g killed his child.
MO&t every band of gypsies in Ne
bras has been held up at times, and
alleged clues to the missing child have
given many sheriffs free rides to al
parts of the country. There has not
however, ever been anything tangible
until the discovery OF yesterday.

MRS. K0RBERG LOCATED
FARMERS WIFE WHO DlSAP-
FEARED FROM HER HOME.
HUSBAND HAS GONE AFTER HER

Was Found in Cincinnati by w. H..
Grandchildren Are Also Waiting
for the Father to Come and Brinq
Them Home.
Mrs. Peter Korberg, the farmers
wife who disappeared from her home
south of this city with her four chill
dren, on the evening of March 81,
while her husband was absent, has
been located in Cincinnati. Mr.. Kor-
berg is now on his way to that city
to bring his wife and the children
home with him.
Mrs. Korberg was found by w. H.
Hyland, the Stanton real estate man,
who has been searching for a number
of days for the wife and children.
The children were first located in
children's home, but at the time it was
not known where the mother was.
Later she was found in that city, but
the telegram did not say where.
Mr.. Korberg Immediately left for
Cincinnati and as soon as he can get
the members of his family together
Will return with them to the home
south of Norfolk.
Neighbors of the family say that
Mr.. Korberg has always treated his
family with utmost consideration, and
that to outsiders at least there was
no apparent reason why the wife
should have taken advantage of Mr.
Korberg's absence to leave with the
little ones in the manner that she did,
while the story told in Cincinnati that
her husband has been cruel to her is
given no credence
Most of the neighbors are Of the
opinion that the woman was mentally
unbalanced at the time she left, and
that she was fleeing from ills wholly
imaginary. 1t is said that members
of her family have been insane and
the hallucination from which she was
undoubtedly suffering may be a fam
| lily trait.

upward between the boards of the

capped injury altogether and the build
ing, frame building owned by c. b,

smouldering stage when 1t was discoV-
cred at 7:45 a. III. by Asa X. Leonard

feet between the smoke house and the
building occupied by the Beveridge
saloon enabled the firemen to get at
the flames without difficulty.

feed store. This grain had attracted
mice.
Mr. Ward escaped very fortunately
as his stock could hardly have escaped

When they reached their claim and settled down
in their log hut, it was fat that most ncommoded

precocious dog, he certainly took notice early.
For instance while still in the tumbling and wab-
bling he could discriminate between boots and
shoes. He knew we'll that if he met mans big
boots he must get out of the way or be scrunched,
while if he met pair of smaller shoes he need not
disturb himself at all, they would surely go
fully round him. Then he knew that delicious
warmth always to be found when cudded up

smiled at its tone at first; but
the strange persistence of it, its
lessening strength, disturbed her.
She grew anxious, and finally
sent the porter to see what it
could mean. His report brought
her to her feet, and, hurrying
on fur cloak and cap, she
FASTENED to the bridge. Oh, it
was pitiful! She saw through
her glass how fine a fellow he
was. She thought if he could
be aroused and help offered him,
perhaps he might struggle to
shore. Men began to notice her.
She called their attention to the
dog. Some laughed contemptu-
ously; some honestly tried to
help the poor beast. One said,
It's all useless; for he's nearly
dead now
At the woman's entreaty two
men went down to the rivers
edge to try to reach him in some
way; but came back, shaking
their heads, and saying that she
had no idea how far out he was,
how deep the water, how rotten
the ice. Just then down the
road came a galloping horse.
The crowd of men surrounding
the pitying woman urged her
to 90 away and look no longer.
She broke into helpless weep
