HASTINGS, Neb., Sept. 18.—(Special Tel- egram.)—Tom Madison, the perpejrator of the triple murder at Red Cloud, has been closely pursued by sn angry posse all day and tonight is surrounded in a cornfield fourteen miles southwest of Blue Hill, and it is thought he will be taken before morn- ing. The feeling of indignation is intense and It is possible that a lynching will im- medlately follow his apprehension. The Lincoln bloodhounds arrived upon the scene at § o'clock this evening. This morning shortly after dawn the fu- gitive appeared at the farm residence of | Lew Anderson, three miles east of Bladen. | Mrs. Anderson was awakened by the sound of someone trying the door, and shortly afterward the haggard and frightened face of the murderer appeared at a window. The man made signs that he wished to enter, but as soon as the woman recognized the criminal she screamed and the fugitive | turned and fled into a nearby cornfield. The authorities of Red Clopd, Blue HUl and * Bladen were at once notified of his appear- ance and that he was making northward. They were soon close upon his trail and he changed tactics, making a return to the | south, hurrying from cornfield to cornfield, 1 At noonshe was seen 1o enter a cornfleld 'seven miles southwest of Blue Il in which direction he continued his fiight un- til located in the cornfield fourteen miles southwest of Blue Hill. It is supposed that he has taken no nourishment except one meal at a relative's since the crime was committed, and that exhaustion will com- pel him' to abandon his wild flight before | morning. | ‘Another Story. ! RED CLOUD, Neb., Sept. 18.—(Special | Telegram.)-Tom Madison, the supposed murderer from Smith county, Kansas, Is still at large, with a large posse after him. |He has been traced from Bladen to five miles morth of the city today, but the trail has been lost. He called at a house !nmorth of town today and got a plug of | tobacco, and the trafl was lost after that. | The Lincoln bloodhounds arrived on the ! afternoon train and will be given the trail. | The excitement is still at fever heat. | Humboldt Falr Opens.

LINCOLN, Sept. 18.—(Special )~The n.u.m; of Bducational Lands and Funds met this | morning but did not take up the Boyd | county land cmses. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a uniform system | of hookkeeping for the varfous state | in- stitutions, as recommended by Chief Clerk Mickey, and his system adopted. But the will be something dolin in the Wnd *s before long Captain Murfin was here yesterday and when he returns it is expeoted the ball will be opened. HBoth | Land Commissioner Follmer and Deputy | Eaton are out of the ity this afternoon. It | is stated, however, that the land commis- sloner is much better satisfied now that Attorney General Prout has come out in a | public statement that he intends to use his | best energies In the cases. This is by no means an indication, however, that the land commissioner intends to allow Mr. Prout te Work at I The Board of Public Lands miten nd Bulldings held a short session this morning and authorized the warden of the state peni- tentiary to advertise for bids for material and work for the completion of the west part of the penftentiary and adopted a motion to advertise for bids for a fifty- horse-power engine and n 400-horse-power dynamo, to be Instalied at Milford, and an engine and dynamo at Kearney. This last was upon the recommendation of State Architect Tyler, who kald the old engine and dynamo were no good and that the in- | stitution was without light. He recom- | | mended that the old machinery be fixed up and used in case of emergency. At a pre vious meeting it was decided to buy 207 acres of land at the Hastings asylum out of the 320 acres to bé bought as designated by the legislature. That bought cost some- thing over $5,000. Apparently no one cares to sell any more, as no bids were recelved for it. The matter of the construction of | the i cells at the penitentiary was not | even discussed. Chalrman Follmer this| morning recefved a letter from the Van Doran Tron Works, the contractors, that the | company was doing all in its power to get | the material here for the eells, but so far had been unsuccessful because of labor troubles. JThey bxpect to make a shipment the first of the eek. For the necessary plumbing the company has made & contract with a local firm At Republican Headauarters. At the republican headquarters things | rre assuming a very hustliug appearance and every day brings visitors from out in the state to discuss ways and means of getting out the vote and relegating the fusion candidates to the rear. Treasurer Hennings, elected at the last meeting of the committee, was down from Omaha last night and this morning and he and Chairman Lindsay discussed matters at length. Among others who have been here during the last few days were: H. Smel- zer of Sherman, R. W. W. Jones of Otoe, William Lehr of Saunders, Dr. Haughey of Aurora, W, A. Miller of York, Major Willjams of Geneva, Kerrigan of Washing- | ton, Judge Neal of Nemaha, Spencer of Buffalo, E. R. Smith of Logan, the chair- man of the Cuss county committee, and parties from Dundy’ and Hayes counties. These all brought good reports from their respective counties and each pre- dicted that no republican would lay down on his work this fall No Light ow =uicide. The reason of the muicide of W. Hugh Edmiston is still shrouded in mystery, al- though the coroner's yerdict was to the effect that the young man was temporarily insane. The night before his body was | found young Edmiston wrote a letter while in the” Lindsey cigar store and to whom this was addressed has not yet been learned. Monday he sent a letter to Fred | Caldwell and it was thought that this might throw some light on the case, but it @id not, the letter merely being one of business and contained no intimation of the suicide. The funeral services will occur at the family residence, 47 North Twenty-fifth street, at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Must Pay for Wedding Feast. Charles Waneck of South Omaha, who | allowed his bride‘elect to get out her fine vestments and prepare the wedding feast | with all the imited guests present, and then kicked over the traces on the ground | that he would not allow the priest selected to marry him, will have to foot the bill to the tune of $500, according to the decision of the case rendered by the supreme court late last night. This is the amount which Mary Kraky recovered in the district court of Douglas county shortly after the flasco. According to the story as told in the briefs and the decision, Waneck won the heart of Mary and the two settied that the wedding should be held on a certain day last fall and agreed that the priest in charge of the Polish Catholic church should perform the ceremony. When the appointed day rolled around Waneck went to work at the pack- | ing house as usual and sent a note to the father of the bride suggesting that the mar- riage ceremony be postponed. To this note | no answer was returned. To the allegation that the father and the girl in not answer- ing acquiesced in his course, the court gives | an emphatic denial Must Comply with By-Laws.
