Sheriff Now Has Boche,

Sheriff Clements arrived in Norfolk
Saturday afternoon and re-arrested his
man before any inkling of the supreme
courts decision had leaked out.
The sheriff acted upon a telegram
from Lincoln Saturday morning in.
structing him to arrest Boche at once
and stating that the district courts
decision had been sustained.
Two years ago when Sheriff Glenn
ents went to the Boche farm to ar
rest his man the first time for the
killing, Boche, at midnight, fed into
the dark timber and was pursued by
four bullets from Clements revolver.
Boche was in front of the Emery
lumber yard on Norfolk avenue when
Sheriff Clements and Deputy Sheriff
Elley, with Boche's son, drove up in
an automobile. They had been to the
Boche farm and found Boche was in
town.
The boy leaped out of the machine
and rushed up to his father, apparent.
ly fearing that the father might offer
resistance or be shot,
Sheriff Clements put gun in
Boche's face and told him to throw
up his hands. He surrendered without
resistance.
1t was two years ago that Boche
shot and killed Frank farmer, Nor
folk saloonkeeper. A year ago Boche
was tried and convicted of manslaugh
ter. Since then he has been at his
home here, enjoying his liberty, out
on bail awaiting the supreme courts
decision in the case.
Now he must go to Lincoln to serve
as convict for nearly ten years.

APPEAL FOR ideal WIVES"
Hundred Would Be Husbands Want
"OId Fashioned Girls"


Bachelorssand widowers to the mum.
Der Of more than hundred made APP
peals for wives the other night through
the Rev. DR.. Vaughan at the Halstead
Street Institutional church in Chicago.
The letters Of many Of the yearning
SWANS. all describing In detail the
qualifications of the women whom
they desired as helpmates. were read
to an appreciative congregation by the
pastor Of the church.
DR.. Vaughan preached his regular
Sunday evening sermon on the subject
Of 1.-The Ideal Wife," His material he
obtained from the letters which he
read.
While the qualifications mentioned
for wives were varied and amusing I'm
many cases, 1t was evident that most
of the men who wrote to the pastor
were serious In their requests. Every
man wrote that he did not wish his
wife to be college graduate or @
clubwoman or a reformer. Neither
was 1t considered essential that she
be pretty or talented. What every
man wanted was an "old fashioned
girl" Also every aspirant for matri-
monial bliss wrote that he wanted his
wife to be q good cook.

The deep sea naturalist when pre-
pairing the skeletons of small birds and
fishes for mounting calls the sea feas
to his aid. These active little crus-
taceans swarm on the bottom of the
sea in both tropical and temperate wa
tiers and are possessed Of voracious ap-
petites. So the naturalist, after remov-
ing the skin and loose flesh from the
specimen, ties it In a coarse net and
lowers it into the sea until 1t hangs
Just clear of the bottom. 1t is immedi-
ately discovered by the sea fleas. and
countless myriads of the little crea-
lures come swarming to the work of
denuding the bones. In short time
the skeleton is clean and ready to be
packed or mounted. Care must be
taken to haul it up at just the right
moment, as If left too long to the sea-
fleas they will attack and devour the
small bones as soon as they have fin
ished the soft parts. A little watch
fulness on the part of the naturalist
will prevent this, however, and the
tiny scavengers of the deep will save
him lot Of unpleasant work.-ChicagC
