FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1921. MAN LOSES LIFE TRYING TOF ORD LATTE RIVER Stranger Believed Victim of Accident in Effort to Bring Horses Across Stream Last Night. Cc. I. Rounds, member of a tourist party. which arrived where several weeks 4g0, Was drowned in the Platte yiver near the CY pumping sta- tion of the city water system, accord ing to indications gathered by county officials who have been probing the man’s disappearance last evening. Despite the fact that neighbors of the tourist party numbering Mr. Rounds, his wife and their 7-year-old daughter, have been searching the river since he disappeared no trace of the body has been found. A touch of mystery Is loaned to the disappearance because of circum- stances which lead to the belief that he had succeeded in crossing the river. Starting out to find a horse which had strayed Mr. Rounds had his wife get a halter from a stable nearby He then set out to catch the missing horse. This was the last that was ever seen of him. ‘The marks of the horse's hoofs were traced to the river bank and then disappeared in the water. After Rounds had been gone for some time his wife became alarmed and insti tuted a search. Then neighbors were called but up to a late hour today the search was unavailing. Sheriff Massee and members of his force investigated the case. They found the horse which had strayed and the one ridden by Rounds when he went to secure the missing animal together. Thé halter which Rounds had taken with him was found on the horse. If he was drowned in the river, ac- cording to the belief of officials, the accident occurred. when he was lead- ing one horse and riding the other on the return trip. What caused the horses to return to the west bank after Rounds left tm, however, throws some mystery~on the disap- HESLIN GRIME PROBE BEGINS (Continued from Page 1.) led to the finding of the priest's grave.

PRIEST SHOT BY PREACHER (Continued from Page 1) she was married to a man of that faith, it brought matters to a head.” Ruth Stephenson was married to Pedro Gussman, who was born in Porto Rico,. They had been sweet- hearts for two years, but waited un- til the girl was 18 years of age before marrying, according to relatwes of the girl. Stephenson, his wife said, never had held a regular pastorate, and had fre. quented the courthouse where he was called the “marrying parson” because of the number of marriage ceremon- jes he had performed in the county building. Stephenson is not a member of the Southern Methodist church, the Rev. Dr. Robert Echols, presiding elder of the Birmingham district said to- day. “He was formerly affiliated with the church but was never a regularly ordained minister,” said Dr. Echols. About a year ago I became dissatis- fied with the report reaching me of the manner in which he was hanging around the courthouse and when I remonstrated with him he left the church and became affiliated with an- other.” ea aILESIAN ROW GOES TOLEAGUE (Continued from Page 1.) nonen in favor of the British pre- mier’s suggestion that the matter be left to the league. “The supreme council has decided to refer the Upper Silesian question to the league of na- tions," said Mr. Lloyd George upon leaving the cduncil meeting shortly before noon to take his train for Lon- don. “Our. decision was unanimous.” “Did Ambassador Harvey vote?" in- quired a rorrespondent. “I ===." replied the premier, “that decision was unanimous.” Mr. Lloyd George left Paris for London on the regular noon train. It was understood the supreme council would continue its agenda es- pecially the discussion of relief to Russia, during the absence of Mr. Lloyd George. Lloyd George expressed the opinion today that there would be no trouble in the Upper Silesian district pro- ided the high commissioners were instructed to show strict impartiality. The council at its sessfons early this week decided the sending of re- inforcements was not necessary for the time being. in turning over the entire question to_the league, the supreme council bas requested the league's courcil “to consider the matter as of the ut- most urgency and to make its report at the earliest time possible.” Just before Licyd George left the council, Solicitor General Pollock and Commander Talcott, the British deie- gates to the trials of persons accused vf war crimes which were tried by the German court at Leipsic, sp- peared before the council and pre- gented their report, advocating drop- Ping further inquiry into the matter, ‘The report, which had been com- municated to Lloyd George last night, stated that it was considered justice had been done at the Leipsic trials as regard the English cases, with the exception that the sentences were 100 lenient in. one ar two instances but that_ justice had not been done in the French and Belgian cases. ‘The council requested the allied representatives to make reports to their governments what attitude they judfed the allied countries should adopt toward the German court. —_— E ndorsement Asked For Natrona Made Honey by Rancher Efforts are being made by William Mosteller, a rancher who lives 15 miles east of Casper, ta get local co- operation in marketing honey which “Lhe produces in wholesale quantities.

Burch and M Madalynne Obenchain were indicted here yesterday, tion of the district sheriff and their into the history attorney and assistants today, of those impicated District Attorney Woolwine said that he believed all the essential ele ments of proof in the case were now at hand but that the establishing of @ definite motive for the shooting would stengthen the case materially To aid in this phase of the case, an inquiry into the former relations of Kennedy, Burch, Mrs. Obenchain and pepsibly other persons at Evanston, Il, and points in the middle west, was authorized today. Investigators were set to work at Evanston and elsewhere for the purpose of delving in the case in the belief thrt a better understanding of their past careers would help in developing the motive for the shooting. Mrs. Obenchain was reported weak and nervous today and was under the constant care of a jail matron. Burch maintained his attitude of jocularity, but his face was deeply grave with lines that were not there when he was taken into custody less than a week ago. It was learned today at the dis trict attorney's office that when the case comes to tria}, the death penalty would be sought against Burch. No intimation of the attitude of the dis trict attorney toward the penalty to be sought for Mrs. Obenchain was given. In California the jury in a_ first degree murder case may recommend the death penalty or may recommend life impris@nment. .$15.00 Organdie and voile dresses that have been priced $7.50 Silk Sweaters, Half Price Regular Our Fall Line Arriving Daily.
