CHARGE SMITH WITH
@NETHAWAY MURDER
County Attorney Will File First
Degree Murder Charges
Against Negro Friday
~ Morning.

! A complaint charging first degree
murder, drawn up yesterday by County
Attorney Magney, will be filed this
morning against Charles Smith,
negro, suspected of completely in the
brutal staying Of Mrs. c. L. Netha-
way, wife of a Florence real estate
man, week ago last Sunday.
A coroner's jury, after making a
three days probe, recommended that
Smith be held for further investiga-
ton by the county attorney, but re-
turned verdict at the conclusion of
the inquest that the woman met her
death at the hands of an unknown
person"
County Attorney Magney an
nounced that the finding of the cor
oner's jury does not mean investiga-
ton into the mystery surrounding
Mrs. Nethaway's murder viii end. He
said both his office and Sheriff Clark's
force will continue in their search for
any clues that may throw light on one
of the blacklist crimes in the history
of Nebraska.
The case against Smith consists of
purely circumstantial evidence and it
is understood the state is not overly
confident it can convict him when he
is tried. The Nethaway murder trial
will not come up for at least sixty
days, as there IS a big grist of Grim
inal cases on the fall docket in dis
trict court.
Adult Probation OAiser Andreesen,
prison worker and murder expert, is
confident Smith is innocent. He says
the negro has perfect alibi and de-
clares the county attorneys Office has
but slim chance to convict him.

Very Effective Method
for Banishing Hairs
Modes of Today

At very little cost any woman can
rid her face, of hairy growths if she
will use the delatone treatment. This
is made by mixing some water with
little powdered delatone. This paste
is spread upon the hairy surface for
2 or 3 minutes, then rubbed off and
the skin washed, when every trace of
hair will have vanished. No harm re-
suits from this treatment, but care
should be used to buy real delatone.

 Under a decision of the local superior court here the board of supervisors at their monthly meeting began to pay the pre- sent officials theenlarged salaries as they existed in territorial days and under the laws Of 1901 and amendments. Judge Crosby rendered the controlling decision last Saturday Tn Miss Ly tle's suit against the county for her larger salary for January, February and March salary instaliments.
 The suit of Treasurer Joe Bur gess for back salary for the years 1915.16 was decided al the same time. MT. Burgess sued for S1400 alleging that his legal sala- ry was $2200 per year instead Of $500 which the county had paid him. The court decided that 32200 was the salary but that because of the one year bar limi- tation which Attorney A. s. Gib- bons pleaded in the case all but ten and a half months of 1t was barred. So the court gave the treasurer judgment for $612.5O Attorney F. ". Nelson gave nc. tice of appeal to the superior court from .the courts decision in the Burgess case.
