SAY SOUL OF SLAYER RETURNS

CSan francisco Bulletin)
Martinez-Three Punjab farmers
were murdered on Jersey Island last
week and their alleged murderer. an
other Hindu named Nina Singh, dis
appeared from mortal ken. He was
supposed to have killed himself or fled.
But now the farmers on Jersey Island
report as fact to the sheriff's office
that Miha Singh, disconsolate, returns
nightly to the scene of the crime.
He has been heard, but not seen,
passing through the native settlements.
Like the "Headless Horseman of Sleepy
Hollow the soul of Nina Singh whisks
along on the wings of the wind, sobb-
ing in voice as dolorous as the wind,
his lament over his own sin. The
sound strikes terror to the hearts of
the Hindus on the island, and they
fear to show their faces outdoors after

They claim that Nina Singh returns

he sinned. No one has yet seen the
soul of Nina Singh, but all the Hindu
settlement has heard the uncanny

when this question is put to them. They
say the man who is unfortunate enough
to see as well as hear the alleged
murderer's astral self will be scared

Regularly established army posts

The cost of this construction to

RESULT OF THE BOND ELECTION

Complete returns from the special
election Tuesday on the PROPOSE
ton to issue 100000 bonds to
pave lis miles of county roads show
results as given herewith.
The vote was extremely light.
There are between $4,000 and 10000
registered men voters in Greater
Omaha. Only 7,724 votes were cast
in the whole county, including the
women's vote of 1,ll3. Less than
half of the women who registered
for the election voted on the bond
proposition.
Election Commissioner Moorhead
will canvass the vote, beginning
this morning, and expects 70
complete that work by Saturday.
He will then certify the official
vote to the board of county COM
missioncrs.
Plan Immediate Action.
The board will lose no time in
taking the next step toward paved
roads, which will be the advertising
of the bonds for sale. 1t is neces-
sary to advertise them for 80 days.
Work on specifications will be
pushed, so that bids can be adver-
tised for as soon as the bonds are
sold.
An effort will be made to advert
tise the bonds and advertise for bids
simultaneously. This would save
80 days.
II am inclined to think this coulc
be done under the law said County
Attorney Shotwell. "But l shall
have to look that up before advising

bers of the Automobile club, Char

Rotary club and other organizations
which have been working hard for
the bonds are in high spirits.
I'VE will go ahead with all posi-
Bile speed" said County Commits
sic ner Compton. Actual work on
paving ought to start by the end of
September, allowing for all delays
If we start advertising the bonds
July |, we can start advertising far
bids August l; bids can be let Sep
TENDER and few weeks later the
contractors can have the material
and men ready for work"
1t is now "up to" the county
missioners to say which roads shall
be paved first. Mr.. Compton said
he thought likely the first paving
would be done on the Lincoln high
way, starting at the end of the paw
ing few miles this side of Elkhorn
and carrying it to the county line.
Will Keep Some Bonds
At the same time paving can start
on two or three other roads if the
material and men are available. The
most likely to get first consideration
are the Observation-Disclosures road,
west and south from Willard and
the Washington highway north of
Florence.
1--WE will sell only as large block
of the bonds as we think we can
expend during the first year," said
Mr.. Compton. "We aren't going
to sell the whole 100000 at once
and then be paying interest on the
whole sum while it's lying idle"
