FOUR ARRESTED
In MURDER CASE;
DOGS ON THE TRAIL
Men Taken Into Custody in Connec-
tion with Investigations Made
by Sheriff and the
Police.
HOUNDS LEAD sLEUTHs TO BARN
King Dodo and Lady Jane Cause
Detention of Men Against Whom
There Was No Suspicion.
TWO OTHER CLUES CONSIDERED

Four arrests and search for
trail by bloodhounds, which was of
spectacular interest to hunrders of
residents of Benson, were the fea-
lures of Investigations of the murder
of James Nancy made by Sheriff
McShane and Omaha police yester-
day.
The following men we're taken
into custody in connection with the
investigations:
Charles Daniel, Forty-second and
Redman avenue, a junk dealer. A
revolver, one chamber of which had
been discharged, was found in his
home.
Orville Pryor, 2720 North Sixty
first street, Benson, carpenter. He
was taken to the sheriff's office by
Deputy Larry Flynn, as the result of
threats which he is alleged to have
made against Maney's life.
l.. j. Johnson and his son, Vern,
aged IS years, who live at 5007
Gretchen avenue. Bloodhounds led
the way from the scene of Monday
nights crime to barn on their
premises.
There was no grounds for suspicion of
johnson or his son, officials admitted,
, except the fact that the hounds followed
trail to their home, which is situated
three-quarters of a mile northeast of the
Douglas county fair grounds. where the
murder occurred. At the police station
johnson ana his son protested that they
were innocent and declared they were
able to account for their whereabouts
Monday night.
Two other Men Held.
The bloodhounds followed a road for
half mile. then went through small
cornfield and circled around to the barn
yard in the rear of the Johnsons' home
They were allowed to repeat the trip fol
three times and each time entered sta
BILE. f' 'fF
Whatever trail was left by the man
who killed Nancy was at best difficult
for dogs to follow yesterday since 1t was
eighteen hours old and many persons had
passed over the vicinity OF the crime In
the meantime.
A large crowd watched the dogs work.
Scores of small boys crowded to the
front and hampered the efforts of the
sleuths. James Hughes. Benson police
officer, was assigned to the task OF at
tempting to control the boys, but found
1t difficult. Typical village "consta bules''
stopped men who were present on bust
ness and the atmosphere was charged
with excitement. A moving picture oper-
etor was grinding out few feet of film.
Pryor, who was detained for question
ing by the county officials. was asserted
to have declared his belief last August
that Nancy was partly responsible for
his having been sent to the inebriate
asylum at Lincoln. He is alleged to have
made threats to harm Nancy He was
discharged from the asylum September 90
and said he returned to Omaha one week
ago. He was arrested at 22OS street,
South Omaha, by Deputy Flynn
Daniel was arrested after officers had
followed wagon tracks from the fair
grounds to his home. He declared he
was at homo in bed at the time of the
murder

QUAIL HUNTING IS
QUITE EXPENSIVE
At Least Boston Man Found it So
While Out with Some Of His
Omaha Friends.
CAUGHT WITHOUT A LICENSE

Shooting the festive quail in Ne
braska is a pleasant pastime, but 1t
occasionally proves expensive.
]. L. Bachelor, a wealthy Boston
man, is one who will testify that
there is more truth than poetry in
the above assertion.
Last week Mr.. Bachelor, in COM
pany with w. M. Burgess, Myron
Learned, Frank Hamilton, Fred
Hamilton and Fred Montmorency,
five prominent omahans. went out
to Benkelman, Neb., to enjoy few
days of quail shooting. Mr., Bachelor
had heard glorious tales of the excel
lent quail shooting in the Corn
husker state, so a private car was
fitted out and the party started out.
QuaiI Not COnsiderate.
Everything was lovely, although Mr..
Bachelor was heard TO complain that the
quail were not very considerate toward
l.untsmenF because sthey flew too high.
until one evening when the party were
enjoying the evening IN the private car
following day of shooting. Then II
happened.
John Holmes OF Orleans. Neb.. is deputy
game warden and therefore represents
the well known law. Mr.. Holmes horned
into the private car party, although he
wasn't invited.
He wanted lok at the licenses. Five
men were in sight. He was given a slant
at five licenses. All seemed o. X.
But Holmes is foxy. He had some in
side information. Where's the sixth man
OF this party?" ne demanded.
No answer. Far be 1t from the Oma-
hans TO deny a sixth man existed. for
that would be deviating from the truth.
but they didn't have to answer II they
didn't want to.
So Holmes proceeded to investigate the
car. and he discovered Bachelor secreted
: in a closet.
The Boston man confessed he had for
gotten to take out nonresidence license
SO the cruel Holmes took Bachelor In
charge, yanked him before a justice al
midnight, and the justice proceeded to
charge the Boston man SO. 30 for shooting
[ five quail The scale was determined by
assessments Of $40 for hunting without a
license. s. for each quail plugged and
! $3.50 costs
This all happened last week. but didn't
leak out until Holmes made a visit tc
Omaha and let slip the news.
