The raid came as complete sur

over to the federal authorities. The

STREETS RUN RED
ASFACT|ONS FIGHT
FOR PETR0GRAD
Handful Of Loyal Military
Cadets Slaughtered After
Desperate Struggle Before
Cathedral Of st. Isaac.

Petrograd, Monday, Nov. l2.~There
are conflicting reports from Moscow
and other large cities. The Bolsheviki
report officially that Moscow is still
in their hands. although a telegram
to the committee of public safety on
Sunday said that the Kerensky adher1
ents there had driven the Bolsheviki
into the kremlin, where they were
,besieged.
q Among the reports heard is one in-
dicating that Lenine and Trotzky are
aboard the cruiser Aurora and are di-
recting operations from that place Of
safety.
At the corner of the Grand Mors-
kaia and the Gerokovaia, near the
telephone exchange, during the long
battle on Sunday, in which the Boil
sheviki regained possession of the ex-
change from the military cadets, there
were intermittent fusilades from
rifles and machine guns during the
morning and the afternoon as the
Bolsheviki, stationed 100 yards down
the Morskaia, made spasmodic sorties
toward the exchange. A curious
crowd peered around the corners,
hugged buildings and crouched in
doorways to escape the bullets.
Slaughter of Cadets.
An armored car manned by mill
tary cadets and stationed in the
square around the Cathedral of St.
Isaac cleared the streets there with
a fusilade in reply to occasional FIR
ing from Bolsfeviki infantrymen
hiding behind the marble columns in
front Of the great cathedral. Some
time later the fuel supply of the car
became exhausted and the car was
captured by Bolsheviki sailors, who
killed two of the occupants by firing
through the portfolios. They then
broke in the steel door and dragged
the third occupant, who was wound
ed, to the streets. He was killed by
the sailors while a crowd of spec
tators within the Hotel Astoria cried
out in protest. The bodies lay in the
street for half an hour until hospital

Eagle Spreads Protecting Wings
Over Parachute Leapers at Fort

aeronauts made their maiden leaps
safely, while crowd of 5000 persons
were attracted to the spot. Not the
slightest accident marred the day and
the boys credit~this to the fact that
during the jumps the eagle spread its
wings protectingly over them and over
the huge kite balloon from which they
jumped.
Eagles are rare in this part of Ne
braska and it is thought this one has
flown from a long distance to visit the
school. Some believe the daily pres
ence Of many kite and free balloons

LOCAL river MEN
ASK GOVERNMENT
TO 0DRAG MISSOURI
Navigation League Would Buy
Barges for Service Between
Omaha and Decatur; Much
Traffic Available.

The government has been asked to
dredge the Missouri river at two
points between Omaha and Decatur
i'll order that an adequate channel for
navigation might be assured at all Pc
RODS of the navigation season.
w. A. Ellis, assistant commissioner
of the Commercial clpb and member
of the Missouri River Navigation
league, has written the government
engineers asking for this service at
the hands of the government.
A snagboat makes trips up and
'"town thu" Missouri many times dur-
ing the navigation season and pulls
many silags such as old drift wood,
stumps, ETC., but it is pointed out that
this snagboat works up and down the
river far above points where any navi-
cation is even attempted. Ii is held
that this is useless and that if the
government would devote its atten-
ton merely to putting into navigable
shape the part of the channel upon
which regular navigation line is
maintained the work of the govern
ment along this line would be Of more
practicable value. The two points in
the channel which are said to need
dredging the worst are Blenco cross
ing and the point at the mouth of the
Little Sioux. y
To Purchase Barges.
Every effort is being made to in
crease the shipping facilities. on the
Missouri between Omaha and Deca-
tur for next summer. Mr.. Ellis has
also written some letters out in
search of some available barges which
the company here would like to pur-
chase. The United States engineers
office at St. Louis has replied to a
letter, offering some of the govern
ment barges, but they of 600-ton ca
pacity each, and the company here
wants barges of not over $50 tons ca
pacity.
Farmers Elated.
The farmers in the vicinity of Deca-
tur are growing more and more en-
thusiastic over the river navigation
facilities for marketing their grain
direct Omaha. The Decatur Ele-
vator company, with Hugh Gallup at
the head, is now constructing a new
elevator at Decatur of $4,000 bushels
capacity in order to store the grain
which the farmers will haul in there
faster than it can be shipped out, and
which will accumulate especially dur
ing the winter months while the river
is frozen over. This elevator full, of
grain in the spring will assure lot
of hauling for the boats and barges
on this lin cas- soon as the ice breaks.

Nethaway on Stand.
Claud L. Nethaway, husband of the
murdered woman, took the stand at
4 p. m. at the call of the prosecution.
He walked to the witness chair brisk
| ly and took the oath in quick, nervous
manner and sat down facing his in
terrogators. Throughout his testi-
mony he remained comparatively COL
lected but talked in a rapid, jerky
manner so swiftly that at times his
words were indistinguishable and the
court had to request him to speak
slower and with greater distinctness.
Nethaway is a rather small, we'll
built man with iron-gray hair, thin
ming at the back and running to
points in front where it curls up from
its parting in the middle, giving his
face peculiarly keen and intellectual
expression. A thin, pointed nose con-
tributes to the general appearance
commonly called "hatchet faced" His
I small, deeply sunken eyes are con-
tinually covered by his small eyelids
which are raised OILY occasionally as
he glances sharply about the room.
The thought of his dead wife, con-
stant1y before him, has evidently had
its effect upon his mind and nervous
| system.
Testihes Fully.
He testified in the minutest detail
at every opportunity. He rehearsed
his movements from the time he left
home at l:30 Sunday afternoon un-
til he was ia ken from his wife's body
and carried nome.
At l:30 he drove to his office in
Florence, where he had date to take
a man to see some real estate. He
said Henry Moore called him in the
morning to be at the office in the
afternoon. He called up Mr., WiSk-
from, 1919 North Thirty-eighth street
in Omaha, among other things. and
had some sort of dealings with a
Mr.. Tucker. His testimony became
definite when he called up Mr.. Wick,
strom's home and took Mr.. Wick
strom up to the Al Closes house.
He had an engagement to meet
Myron L. Learned at p. m. at the
Briggs station. He said he met him
a little after 3 o'clock. He said he did
not go home before that time.

HUSBAND ON STAND.
Claud L. Nethaway, husband Of the
murdered woman, was called to the
stand at 4 p. m. Tuesday after
tangled skein of evidence, including
the bloody undergarments, an uniden-
tilted mans handkerchief and a nys-
terious piece of underclothing, had
been placed before the jury.
The bloody undergarments of Mrs.
c. L. Nethaway, the murdered wom-
an, with which her hands were bound
and folded upon her breast, were
brought into court and identified. A
large, mans size, white cotton hand
kerchief, blood stained, with which
her face was covered, was also dis
played to the jury.
EVIDENCE IMPORTANT.
A small oblong piece of undercloth-
ing was identified by Judge Ben S.
Baker, who arrived at the cut shortly
after Nethaway found his wife's body.
Judge Baker testified to finding the
piece of woman's undergarment
hanging to weed between the shelf
on which the body was found and the
level of the railroad right-of-way. He
found a path where someone had
climbed through the weeds tip the
steep bank. Near it was the piece of
underwear; little farther on wom-
ans hair switch, and farther still,
spread out on top of weed, wom-
ans handkerchief, which Nethaway
identified as belonging to. his wife.

REST PERIODS CONSERVE
ENERGY OF WORKERS
Permitting Laborsrs to Become Fa-
tIsusd Cuts Down Production.

Employers of labor have found that
output may be increased, not by work
ing a man when he Is tired, but by CIV
Ing him an opportunity to rest. An
hours rest for the workers may liter
ally be worth far more to the employer
than the same time spent in labor.
At large munitions factory men en-
gagged In the heavy work Of molding
are required by the management to rest
fifteen minutes In every hour OF work.
The manager was satisfied that this
was an arrangement good for the men
and for the output. But the men OBJ
jected to this long spell Of rest In each
hour because the work was piecework
and they thought the production would
be lessened by II. The manager &C
cordingly found 1t necessary to set a
foreman to watch and to make the
hourly rest compulsory. When this was
done the output per hour was found to
be actually increased.
Proper attention to rest will prevent
a large part of diminished capacity
from industrial fatigue and prevent
waste due to imperfect work.-Indas-
trial Conservation, NetO York.
