Roy TIinderleiter who is charged
with having caused the death OF Eliza
beth Radcliff by injecting air into her
veins, protests that is the innocent
victim of circumstances, being drawn
into the affair by the girl who arrang-
ed for him to meet her and to beg him
to marry her and thus save her from
results for which he claims he was in
no wise responsibel.
Judge Whitcher, the boys attorney,
will introduce the suicide theory in the
trial and sees in the death OF the girl
a repetition OF the self destruction of
Marian Lambert In the Orpet case. If
not actual suicide, then he feels that
che had an operation performed upon
herself and so came to her death
through her own act
The chief evidence against the pris-
ener seems to rest in the fact that he
rode into town with her dead body in
hts arms
Judge Whitcher has made the fol-
lowing statements:
Roy Hinderleiter has no medical
knowledge.
His family was prominent; his ia
ing about women.
when he met Elizabeth he was
LypIotizcd by the girls attraction.
She was the belle Of the town A doz.
en- Clney youths fought her favors."

REPORT SUPICIOUS
LOOKING PERSONS
TO POLICE STATION

Intelligent cooperation of citizens
with the police department would pre-
vent numerous thefts and would mean
the apprehension of the thieves. This
was the opinion of Chief of Police
Goodwin to-day
The chief declared if persons who
notice strangers acting in a peculiar
manner about garages or houses
would communicate Immediately with
the department instead of waiting un-
til the next day. the department would
be able to catch the thieves in the act
in many cases. He said apparently
when persons noticed strange appear
ing incidents they never thought of
the police. The Chief asked that the
citizens bear this in mind in the fu-
ture and help the officers by notifying
headquarters of any strange move
ments in their neighborhoods.

That the Water Works company
would not face ref cit at the end OF
another year under the existing SEIZED
ule of rates was the. opinion Of Mayor
Robbins and President Bavis of the
board OF works today.
AS cited by City Attorney Bond in
his original contention before the pub
lie service commission, it was said
that the utilities body had taken an
unusually wet year as basis for fix
ing the new list of water charges.
While revenues were greatly reduced
last year because frequent rains made
sprinkling unnecessary, the officials
pointed out today that the drouth of
this season would more than Offset
the shortage in revenues for last year.
Both were of the firm conviction
that the water corporation could show
substantial profit as the result Of
the dry season. They further argued
that the commission should take the
water revenues for both wet and dry
seasons and strike an average in fix
ing the rates.
Both believed, however, that it
would avail the city little to take an

were satisfied they were bad
men and belonged to gang of
gun-men hold ups who had been
operating along the line and had
given the officers a lot of trouble
so decided to keep line on
them. AS a result the fellows
were seen digging up their
plants of guns, flash lights and
handkerchiefs. and later they
were arrested by Martin and
Bnhler and brought to Webster
and given hearing before
Judge Cooms of the county court
ON a charge of earring conceal
ed weapons. They gave their
names as Howard Elliott, who by
the Way is one of the fellows
who was discharged for want of
evidence month ago, and w.

the charge as they could not

guns, three flash lights and three
handkerchiefs with eye-holes
cut in them, showing they had
been used as masks were in
evidence having been found on
the men when the arrests were
made. The guns we're some
what rusty, showing that they
had been exposed to the ele-
ments for few days. Judge
Coomes sentenced Elliott to one
year and Dahl to six months in
the county Jail at hard labor.
There is little doubt that thru
the activity of Sheriff Garrick,
ably assisted by Marshals Mar
tin of Andover, and Buhler of
Bristol. a gang of gun men who
have infested this locality for a
couple of months have been
taken care of and are now serv.
ing time.
There has not been a hold-up
on this line between Montevideo
and Aberdeen since the first ar.
rests were made.
The officers deserve much
credit, and the citizens should
be and we think are proud of
them. Crooks and law violators
of all kinds find that Day county
is a very poor field for them to
operate in, for our officers are
right on the job all the time.
The boys are ON the lookout
and expect to capture the re-
naming members of the gang
ere long.

Three are dead and five others
injured. two of them probably
fatally, as the result of the ex-
plosion of an acetylene gas weld
ing machine in the Milwaukee
railroad shops at Mitchell, We'd
nesday forenoon. The blast.
which rocked the town and was
heara for distance of two miles
wrecked the roundhouse and
shops, created a shambles from
which were dragged the mutilia-
ted, burned and bleeding bodies
OF eight unfOrtunates. The ex=
plosion tore off the roof to eight
stalls, where engines were being
repaired, fired and wiped, blew
out every window in the imme-
diate vicinity and many within
the distance of two blocks. The
solid brick wallis were crumbled
like paper. The force of the ex-
plosion was shown by the fact
that the whole city felt a tremor
and plate glass window in the
Navin hotel was blown into the
street. Bits of slate from the
roof of the roundhouse were
hurled into the air, some of them
hitting employees and people
standing on the platform at the
passenger station.
