GUILTY BY A JURY
Negro Ava is Sentence for
Breaking Into Mrs.
Swope'S House.

Guilty as indicated is the verdict re-
turned this morning by jury in Crimi-
nal Court. No. I. against Joseph Arthur,
the negro accused of housebreak king, in
connection with the brutal assault made
upon Mrs. Irene c. Swope, who was
beaten and choked into Inconsistencies
on the night of May 10 last, IN her home,
1884 New Jersey avenue.
Through The entire trial, Arthur, a
former membe" Of the Ninth United
States Cavalry, protested his innocence.
and attempted to plead an abb. which.
however, failed by reason of the fact
that the witnesses summoned by him
failed to agree as to their accounts of
his movements. The negro was remand
ed to Jail to await sentence.
The entry of Arthur into Mrs. Sw0pe's
home was attended by one Of the most
brutal assaults ever made upon a white
woman in this Jurisdiction. The woman
entered the house to obtain a cushion
when Arthur, who was secre ted behind
the dining room door, sprang upon her,
chOked off her screams, and beat her
until she fell fas=ting to the fioor. He
escaped, leaving the silver upon the
dining room table, where he had placed
IL ready to take away.
Through the activities of Capt. Charles
T. Peck and Policeman McQuade. of the
Second precincc. Arthur was arrested
within an hour after the occurrence.
and was positively identified by Mrs.
SWope

PRODUCE MARKET
STEADY AND DULL

Continuing hot weather had the eff
feet of making a less active market
today, which was felt more in the fruit
and vegetable line than in poultry or
live stock.
Only a limited quantity of raspberries
were on sale, and, as result, the price
stiffened. Strawberries were scarce, but
held at previous quotations. Black
berries, in quantity and price, remained
practically the same.
Supply of potatoes showed an increase
today, but yesterdays price of from
81 TO $325 held firm.
In the live stock market receipts of
lambs showed a slight increase, but
continued still below normal, with the
ruling price cents. Calves also brought
cents.
Poultry of all kinds was plentiful. no
changes being recorded in the prices
which have been in effect during the
week. Eggs brought p cents dozen.

College To Be Disposed Of

A special meeting was held recent
ly by the Elk Horn College stock
holders at which it was decided to
sell the college. In order to keep it
from going into private hands, they
placed it at as low price as they
possibly, could making it $4,000, and
giving the Danish Lutheran congre-
ton the first chance to purchase it.
The property is easily worth $4,000,
and has recently been added to with
fine new building. The loss of
this college would mean not only
loss to Elk Horn but to the entire
community. The Danish Lutheran
congregation will hold a meeting
next Sunday to consider the matter.

HORROR OF AFRICAN NIGHT.
Traveller Describes Peculiar cond-
tons That Exist in Regions of
the Dark Continent.

Caroline Kirkland, in her book on
Some African Highways" writes of
night in the dark continent: There is
nothing so black as an African night,
and | think that it is because the
earth, being a deep red. offers no re-
fection to the faint starlight, such as
we get in other lands. Instead it
wallows up what slight glow there
may be, and gives to the darkness a
dense, velvety quality not to be found
anywhere else. Overhead the stars
STARE more brilliantly than in north
ern ATTITUDES, but they seem to cast
no light, and the night is palpable.
suffocating, appalling and filled with
nameless horror which is quite in.
describable."
In single sentence the same writer
gives a forcible idea of the sleeping
sickness: while there is nothing
acutely distressing about this man
ner of dying, nothing to equal the ter
rors of other vital diseases like can
Ger or tuberculosis, there is some
thing peculiarly sinister in the slow,
stealthy, irresistible approach o:
death, whose course no known remedy
can stay or alter
OF African lions Miss Kirkland
writes: AS a rule it is only old lions
who attack human beings They grow
too decrepit to be able to catch the
more agile antelopes who are their
lawful prey, so. goaded by hunger
they pounce on uIwary mortals.
