All sorts of theories are advanced to ae- count for the affair, but the one most generally held is that Ruhie was Killed by some person or persons intent on rob- bory.

Stray Leaves From the Reporter's Note Book. Fromw time to time the local papers have been ealled upon to chronicle the egre- gious blunders made by some of the fresh and unophisticated members of the Oma- ha police force.
