He was struck down with an axe and later carried to the cellar where the axe was tossed beside the body.

BEATRICE, Neb., Dec. 10.—(Special)—A wrotion to quash the aryay of the jury with an additional motion similar in nature was evegruled yesterday in the Chamberlain ‘ease. In filing these motions the attorneys for the defense held that the jurors drawn this week to fill the second panel had net Been notified to appear for duty as the ‘statute. provides. These jurors were noti- fied by télephone to appear on the follow- ing day.” This, the defendant’s attorneys contend, was illegal, as the statute provides that jurors drawn must be S0 notified “within twenty days of the time for them to sppear in court, and that this notifica- tion must be forwarded them by registered mall. These motions were argued for two days. ‘The regular panel was exhausted and the sheriff was instructed to call talesmen to compiete the jury. Thus far 110 mefi have been drawn in an effort to secure & jury iu° the second trial of the case, Awbura Man Disappears. AUBURN, Neb., Dec. M0.—(Special.)—John Carson, who resides with his mother &t this place, left home on the 2%th of Novem- ber with the Intention of going about four “or five' miles morthwest of town to H. B. Earsman's to shuck corn. Since that time he has not been seen by any of his Ac- quaintances. It was learned a few days ago that he had not gone to Earsman's, and hisfriends instituted an inquiry, as- certaining that he had not stopped with any of the farmers in that vicinity or with any of his acquaintances. Telegrams were then sent to & brother at Shickley and a sister in Oklahoma, but neither of them had seen or heard anything from him Carson was subject to sinking spells_and it seems to be the ‘prevalling’ bellef that.| he was attacked with one of these spells and is now dead. Nebraska Hastings Pleased at College Union Institution There with Endowment Fund Finds it Difficult to Com- pete with Another, HASTINGS, Neb., Dec. 10.—(Special.)It is not expected hiere that there will be seri- | ous trouble in bringing about the unfon of Bellevue and Hastings colleges, in ac- | cordance ‘with the directions given by the Nebraska synod at the meeting in Kearney Monday. Friends of Hastings declare that the moveisent for the union ef the colleges | was not urged in a spirit of hostility to| sither institution, but ‘merely to effect mn | arrangement that would do away with | the competition. When the request was made to the synod at the Minden meet- ing, seme months ago for the appointment s college comynission it was with the expressed purpose of having a plan de- vised by which the entire denomination of the state could centralize its educational support and influence in one institution and the commission was asked to deele in faver of either Bellevue or Hastings or provide: for giving the support of the church to some new institution. Hastings collexs has an endowment of $100,00 from which it derives & fixed an- nual income while Bellevue has none. In addition to this the Hastings college so- ciety contributes a considerable amount each year in the form of donations at the | rate of $10 annually per membership. But | with this income and the revenue Troia | tuition, it has been found that the conduct | of the institution in competition with an- other In the same church is wholly im- practicable. The peopls of Hastings have | contributed liberslly to the college lnfi‘ have manifested a willingness to continue | thelr support. Within the last few weeks | they have made up the deficit of $35.00 | which has been accumulating for & number of years.' Friends of the local eollege find cause for satisfaction in the fact that the resolution for the union of the colleges was presented to the synod by the treasurer of Bellevue that the adoption was moved by & member of the Bellevne board of trustees and that the motion was seconded by a Bellevue alumnus, CHADRON AFTER NORMAL SCHOOL Citisens Offer Eighty Acres, Contain- ing Complete School Building.
