CORN DAMAGED BY WEATHER
Huskers Driven From Fields and IN
able to Harvest the Crop.

Huskers Driven From Fields and I'm
able to Harvest the Crop.
Corn is moulding and spelling in the
fields throughout Nebraska on account
of the long spell of wet weather that
is prevailing in this territory, accord
ing to statements of local grain men
this forenoon. About half the corn
crop of the state is yet unharvested
in the fields, the rains having driven
the huskers from their work long be-
fore they had finished. Much of the
corn in the fields, they say, is getting
mouldy and soggy and few more
days of the present freakish weather
will work untold damage. Already
considerable damage has been done,
but more will result, for, should good
weather come at once it would be sew
eral weeks before the husking could
be taken up in earnest again, owing
to the condition of the ground. Should
the rains continue another week
Christmas would probably find much
of the corn yet unharvested.

MURDER MYSTERY
. STILL BATTLES
OF THREE CITIES PER-
BY WOMAN'S DEATH.
AGED AUNT ONLY ONE ARRESTED
Mrs. Snead Had Been III in Brooklyn
for Some Time and Was at Mercy
Of Those In Charge Of Her-Made
viii to Grandmother; Big insurance.

New York, Dec. 2.--Police of three
cities confessed themselves baffled to-
day in their search for a solution of
the mysterious death of Mrs. o. W..
n. Snead, the, young Brooklyn wo-
man found dead in a bath tub in a
house in east Orange, N. j.
Although the friends who have been
investigating declare themselves salts
fed that several persons were involv-
ed in the alleged murder but one ar
rest has so far been made.
Aged Aunt Only Prisoner.
This prisoner is Virginia Wardlaw,
grey haired spinster of excellent
connections in Nashville and other
Tennessee cities, who was Mrs.
Sneads companion in the lonely East
Orange house and a dweller with her
and two other aged women in house
in Flatlands, Brooklyn. In this lat
ter house detectives say they have
learned Mrs. Snead had been i'll and
kept in strict seclusion for a long
time before she was taken to East
Orange.
Probe Will and Insurance Policies.
That Mrs. Snead was practically at
the mercy of whoever was in charge
of her during these months Is one
theory the detectives entertain. In
this connection they are today giving
careful consideration to the will left
by Mrs. Snead in which all her prop
erty was bequeathed to her grand
mother, Martha Elsa Warnlaw, and
two insurance policies aggregating
$50 900 on the victims life which have
been found to be in existence.
Clues in the case led the detectives
to Flatbush, Brooklyn, early today
and what they found caused them to
attempt the establishment of a con-
nection between the death of Mrs.
Snead in East Orange and happen
ings in a so-called "house of mys-
terry" in the Brooklyn suburb where
Miss Wardlaw, Mrs. Snead and two
strange old women lived until re-
| Gently.
Search of the house today led to the
discovery of blood spots in various
rooms. In the kitchen stove the po'
lice found two bundles of human hair
while crushed down in the stove
were four human bones, partly burn
cd, and the skull of child two years
old.
Blood spots in four rooms of the
upper floor were discovered and the
detectives have ordered the cellar tc
be dug up.
Mrs. Snead's husband disappeared
| last summer.

That the Northwestern railroad has

But it was the federal government,
interior department, it now Is pointed
out by Mr.. Jackson, that received
notice from the Northwestern of the
plan to build.
"Some doubt may have been cast
as to the plans to extend" he said,
"but there is no question that the
road will go on in the spring, as Of
fetal notice from the Northwestern to
the interior department proves con-
clusively."
Three New Towns.
Mr.. Jackson declared that things
up Rosebud way are booming, as ever.
Three new towns are to be opened in
Trip county along the proposed right
of way of the Northwestern's extern
sion from Dallas, he said, in the near
future. The towns are Winner, Jor-
dan and Carter.
Winner is in the exact center of
Trip county. Jordan is eight and
half miles west of Winner, and Carter
is eight and a half miles west of
Jordan.
Another Opening Next Fall.

of Millette county (the northern half
