(From a Staft Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Sept. 20.—(Special.)—Requisi- tion papers will be asked for Monday for the return to this state of Eph J. Herrod, now under arrest at New Salem, South Dakota, on the charge of having been ome of two men who robbed and tortured until death resulted, an old bachelor named David H. Jones, near Wymore, five and e half years ago. . Herrod was run down through the instru- mentality of Detective W. A. Bentley of this city, who, from four-year-old clues ac- eldentally obtained some time ago, secured & hold upon one of the murderers and se- tured from him a confession. This man's fdentity s kept a scoret, as he is not yot under arrest and was not aware when he confessed that it was to an officer Jones lived alone in a farmhouse fn the center of & section of land he owned, two miles from Wymore. On March 18, 1897, he was called to his door and there knocked down with an axe. He was then blinfolded, and ordered to produce his money. Jones was a miser, and reputed to keep large sums of money hidden about the house. A few days before he had drawn $1,200 from the bank, but unknown to the robbers he loaned it to a nefghbor. Belleving that he still had the money they tortured him, setting fire to conl-ofl saturated rags on his feet and burning them until the flesh fell off. A pile of rags was also set fire to and thrown on his naked stomach they found in a trunk was all he and their tortures failed to produce any more. The old man crawled to a barn after they left and in the morning rode to his sister's a halt mile distant, where e fell in a faint. Eight days later he dled Although the men were not masked he could give no description of them sufcient to warrant an arrest. Rewards aggregat- ing $700 were offered for each of the mur- derers, and this will fall into Bentley's pockets. Herrod and the other men lived at Wy- more at the time, but left soon afterwards The unknown said that he had vainly tried to live down the horrible scenes of his erime, could not find rest anywhere, He im- plicated Herrod, and was a trifie nettled yet because Herrod had not divided with him evenly. Herrod was a sewing machine agent and pleture canvasser. By this means he was finally traced. He was In Galveston at the time of the flood, but escaped with his life. He was finally located through his employer being {n South Dakota and there run to earth, Threatens Siander Sntt It was stated at the courthouse today that John W. Towle of Omaha, & bridge builder and contractor, had notified County Commis- sloner Welton of his intention to sue him for heavy damages for slander. Towle ‘Wwas one of the bidders for a recent con- tract. He was lower than Sheeley, to whom the contract was awarded. Later Commis- eloner Welton attacked the Sheeley contract in court and defeated it. During the trial Commissioner Welton filed an afdavit in ‘Which he said that the reason why the board did not give Towle the contract was be- cause the members did not consider him a , Tesponsible bidder. Neither gentleman was in the city today and their attorneys de- clined to discuss the matter. Dies in Mis Bed. 8. J.

VALUE OF TESTIMONY Greater Thau Assertion, There is none of us so hardened but that when we have been able to ald our tellow ereatures by conferring a benefit or bring- fng 2 little comfort into their lives we like to have appreciation shown. This generally affords more pleasuré than the performance of the act Itsclf, and In this connection the ~following letter from a Paris, Tex., lady 6 of more than usual interest: ‘“Dear Friends: 1 address you as such, for you Bave been such to me. I suffered for thres years off and on with piles. 1 was treated the hospital, and the new and elegant hospital, of Memphls; they only gave me temporary relief. I came west, thinking the change of air and water would benefit me, five months ago the blceding piles came back on me, and bled much that I thought I would dte. I have had four of the finest doctors in this section of Tex; all they did was to finally nearly let me go 10 my grave; all they wanted was a big sum of money from me and to operate on me. 1 said no, no surgeon's knife would enter me; If it was my time to dle God knew it, and when I died I would die all together 1 began hearing about your medicine. 1 bad Do faith In you, but I sent and gog a box of your Pyramid Plle Cure; in two days the blood flow had slackened to one- half the amount, and in one week I felt so much better 1 walked four blocks and did a littlo housework. I was not bleeding then; in three weeks I was well. God bless you fbr putting such a wonderful med; within the reach of sufferivw men and women. 1 shall never cease to recommend your medicine or be without it; also 1 used your Pyramid Pills. Sallie A. Hearn- don.” Testimony like this should be mora convincing than all claims and assertions, and should leave no doubt in the mind of the reader as to the merit of the rem- edy.
