Viii Build Tabernacle.

1t was decided after services
last night to build a tabernacle
in which to hold the union meet
ings in order to accommodate the
increasing crowds that gather to
hear the evangelist.
This was thought best not
only to provide ample room but
to provide a building more easily
accessible.
A committee with Andrew
Snyder as chairman was appoint
ed to secure a central location
and to erect the tabernacle at
once. nh
The pastors were appointed as
a committee to secure helpers
from their churches to erect the
building. 1t is hoped to have
the building ready for occupancy

was to the effect that many were
of the opinion that Mr.. Hamil-
ton had met with foul play. The
finding of the body showing evil
deuce of murder having been
committed shows that these sus-
picions we're not groundless.
Several important arrests are
re ported to have been made.

Harry McIntire Arrested For The Crime

Hdll WSiHtuS htISStSu tUt iuS NtliNS
Since putting the above in type
we learn the discovery of Hamll.
tons body was through infor-
nation OF Frank Clevenger, one
OF the three he duplicates. From
his story it appears that Hamil-
ton, with Harry McIntire, w. c.
Rector and Frank Clevenger were
in a room in the back of build
ing that had formerly been occu-
pied as a saloon by Mcbride.
The saloon being closed down,
this room was used as a blind
tiger and the men were under the
influence of booze.
Clevenger claims that McIutire
who formerly had rode the ranges
for the u. B. I. cattle company
killed Hamilton by striking him
over the head with the stock of
his revolver. He further states
that through threats of death he
and Rector we're made to swear
never to reveal the transaction.
The three men secured mail
cart and conveyed the body to
hole they had prepared near the
stock yards where they covered
the body under two feet of earth.
From his story it was about 9
o'clock at night Hamilton was
killed and about l o'clock in the
morning his body was taken from
the cellar where hid and buried.
Harry McIutire who has since
been in the employ of the rail
road company, and at one time
deputy sheriff of Hooker county,
was arrested at Seneca where he
now resides and taken to Grand
Island Saturday night for safe
keeping until court convenes to
try his case. Clevenger who
gave the affair away was put uu.
der bonds for his appearance as
a witness. Rector who is ar old
man about 70 years of age, a
Texas booze fighter and badly
afflicted with rheumatism left for
the west several weeks ago to
seek medical treatment for his
rheumatism. He will in all
proba ility be found and brough,
back to answer for the part he
took in the transaction.
Judge H. M. Sullivan who was
at Mullen Saturday states that
he made thorough examination
of Hamilton's skull and there is
no indications of it having been
fractured in the least. He thinks
that he must have died from the
fright occasioned by the row as
Hamilton was afflicted with
heart trouble or that he was
merely stunned by the blow on the
head and rendered unconscious
and buried before he came to life.

o. F. HAMILTON'S BODY FOUND
He Was Murdered by Three Citizens
of Mullen and Buried Near
the Stock Yards.

whereab ,uts has been a mystery.
At the time of his disappearance
he vas under bond to appear at
the district court on charge of
assault and the first Impression
W that his absence from the
was to Eva the court. A
few weeks after his disappear
ance an article appeared ia the
World Herald, from sheridan,
Wy omlug, in which was detailed
account of the reunion OF the
regiment of which he was a
member in the civil war and IN
the list of those attendi e tiat
reunion was the name of O. F.
Hamilton.
Mrs. Hamilton who was ap-
pareutly of the opinion that he
was dead made some effort to
unravel the mystery, received a
letter through the post Office
stating that she was looking for
a dead man but she would not
find him as he was alive.
That note was published in e
locker County Tribune a. Null
en-.
This statement together with
he Sheridan article that appear
d in the World Herald led many
o think that Hamilton was still
abroad in the land.
But upon Investigation it was
found that he had never made
application to the pension depart
nent for his pension.
This led to further investiga-
tion and the authorities of the
state became interested in the
matter, which resulted in an in
vest1gation.
The last seen of Hamilton was
IN April 20 1908 when it isreport-
ed he vent out the back door Of
the saloon in Mullen towards his
home which was only two blocks
away.
The Investigation by the state
authorities resulted in securing
'ffidavits of parties who had
made threats against the life of
o. F. Hamilton and OF offers of
many to do him bodily harm.
Hamilton was not regarded by
his townsmen as desirable
citizens. He became quite
officious in assisting the govern
ment agents in looking up vio-
laters of the law on government
land which made some bitter en-.
emies among that class.
1t is apparent that some one
who knew of the circumstances
gave a tip, as the stock yards
where his body was found would
not have been dug into by search
ers otherwise.
A special from the State Jour
nal April II 1910 gives the follow
ing.
Word has been received here
that the body of o. F. Hamilton,
who disappeared from Mullen
two years ago, was found yes
terday near the stock yards at
that place. The indications are
that Mr.. Hamilton had been MUIR
dered.
Some tiMe ago secret service
men were sent out to investig ate
land frauds in that section of the
country. Mr.. Hamilton went
with these government men and
aided them in their investiga-
tions, and thereby iucrred the
enmity of a number of people,
At that time his property was
burned, and he also received
hreatenin, letters warning him
to cease his activity with the
officers.
Several weeks ago a statement
was sent to Governor Shallen-
berger by persons residing in the
vicinity of Mullen, asking
that an Investigation be held

The handwriting was a

it was precisely what he had
been expecting. OF course it
was from a woman! He had
known all along that it would
