Nebraska ‘, v J\ Land Grafters Sell Many Lots At Broken Bow Operations Smoothly Conducted, But | They Fail to Get Away Before They Are Forced to Refund. BROKEN BOW, Neb., March 2.—(Spe- clal)~A numbes of people In town' have added another notch to their eye teeth, while & oouple of alleged grafters some- where on the line are probably adminis- tering welf-kicks for not dropping out of sight «t n earlier stage of the game. About last Wednesday two well-dressed young men, not over 3 and presenting a good front, floated into town and Imme- dlately got busy on a real estate deal that would have done credit to ‘“Get-Rich- Quick” Wallingtord They registered as C. M. Lester and M. J. Hansen, Spokane, Wash., and they sold lots at §2 per throw for the South Wauke- sha Township company. Only every other lot was disposed of, the odd ones being reserved for the company. They clalmed to be subagents for a party named Fits- patriek, who ‘was handling the real estate for A, M. Sparks, the alleged president of the eompany. For over twenty-four hours after ‘their arrival Messrs Lester and Han- sen did a rushing business; then Lester had busthess at Ravenna and Hansen took & trip up the line, presumably to sell more lots. In some way & ¢cog slipped at Lester's end Of the route and the Ravenna author- ities “tolegraphed to headquarters for in- formation, The answer was not encourag- ing and Lester was made to refund the meney of his Ravenna purchasers and was brought by the marshal of that place to Broken Bow, where he was received with ‘Open atms by Sheriff Kennedy, who had, in the meantime, been doing a little telegraphings on his own account. On a later train Mr, Hansen—not knowing any- thing was wrong—arrived from the west and was also héartily welcomed. They were made to give a list of their Broken Bow victims and - forced to make restitu- tion. All the money, amounting to about §250, was returned. The number of would-be purchasers in this city was nearly forty. How many Hansen succeeded in getting at Merna and other places is mot known at® present. After looking into the case County Attor- ney Gadd deckled, inasmuch as the money had been refunded and the men refused to sell more than $20 worth of lots to one party in the county, thus keeping within the bounds of petty larceny, mot to put the county to the expense of a trial. Both men, however, agreed to stay until every- thing was thoroughly straightened and other sections of the county heard from, but Hansen lost his nerve and beat It, wheréupon Lester folded his tent last night and quletly stole away. Sherift Kennedy today recelved a message from the sheriff at Spokene saying that O. M. Sparks, @ real estate man there, Was not president of the'Seuth Waukesha Town- ship company, as there was no institutior of that name in Spokane; also there were no authorised agents selling lots in this part of the country and asking for & thor- ough description of the men, Coroner’s Jury Unable to Solve Kaderia’s Case Finds Buffalo County Man Came to Death Either by Suicide or by Foul Play. KEARNEY, Neb, March 20.—(Special Telegram.)—After a session of five hours, hearing testimony in the August Kaderia murder case, the coroner's jury brought in & verdict that he met death by two gun- shot wounds Inflicted either by himself or by, some party unknown to the jury. ' Fred Kaderia, a brother, on the witness stand,, told & straight story that cleared himeelf fully. Drs. H. S. Bell and J. P. Norcross held an autopsy and reported that the man was murdered and that either of the two wounds Inflicted would have caused instantaneous paralysis and that he could not have Inflicted a second after infllcting the first. Three wounds on the side of hls head had been Inflicted by some blunt in- strument and were the result of a hard blow. No powder burns .were discovered on sderia's face, or were there any empty artridges In or about the gun found near im. The brother sald that the dead man had no bitter enemies, although he had quarreled frequently with Chris Schrelling, the man who first discovered the body, but these quarrels were not thought to be of A serious nature. Schrelling first tried to place the blame on the brother. Kaderia's body was found lying in a fleld north of Riverdale last Friday. He had been missing for fifteen days and no ef- fort was made by his relatives to locate him. There was no blood on the grass where Kaderia lay. Kaderla generally car- ried some money with him and two or three Fare foreign colns. His pockets were empty When the body was taken charge of by the Sheriff. Kaderia had been & party In a 'MW sult a few weks previous in which one of his nelghbors was the defendant and this neighbor found the body. Kaderia was well fixed financlally and no excuse can be offered for his cof- mitting suicide. Steer Six Feet High.

Horsethief Taken 150 Miles Away From Theft’s Scene Bilver Creek Marshal Arrests Charles | Bowers for Stealing Team from Iowa aFrmer. SILVER CREEK, Neb., March 2.—(Spe- clal Telegram.)—Charles Bowers, a young | men supposed to have been living since his | birth, north of Columbus, Platte county, | was arrested here today by Marshal Lucas | on advice from Sherift Iler of Merrick county. He was charged with having in his possession a team of bay horses that did not belong to him. When Marshal Lucas arrested him he made a dive for the wagon, but did not | succeed in reaching it. When the wagon was searched a 38 caliber, 8-inch Colt re- volver was found under the seat. Also a bottle of strychnine was found. People in Silver Creek had read with Interest the story of & scour of the country by Deputy Sheriff Thomas and Detective Devreese of the Omaha police force in search of a man alleged to have stolen a | team from John P. Peterson of Honey Creek, Ia.. described to be a bay team, | one with two white feet and the other with four white feet. When the driver of the team appeared in Silver Creek the horses were easily identified through the story in The Bee, which gave a detalled discription of the team and wagon. Marshal Lucas had acted quickly on the notice from Sheriff Iler to look out for a man headed this way with a team of the aforesald description. He made good and Bowers had an automoblle ride to the couiity seat tonight in company with the sheriff. BOY DROWNED AT BOSTWICK Little 4-Year-0ld Clarence Filley Falls In Cistern-—De: When Taken Out. SUPERIOR, Neb., March'20.—(Speck esterday evening while at play in the yard of a neighbor family, Clarence Fllley, the 4-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. I Filley, station agent for the Burlington at Bostwick, a small station a few miles west of Superior, fell into the cistern. He was rescued by Mr. Philips, but“before medical aid reached him“life was extinct. It is thought he was killed by the fall as a cross bar was left in the cistern and it is more than likely that his head struck this when he fell. The body was taken to Auburn, Neb., this morning for burial. Two Tickets at Central City. CENTRAL CITY, Neb., March 28.—(Spe- clal.)~After all'of the attempts at har- mony there will be two tickets on the ballot. for the regular spring election next Tuesday. At first there was an attempt to put up a compromise ticket and the committees of the anti-saloon and square deal parties called a joint caucus and Wwith a large representation of both par- ties present a harmony ticket was put up. Later there was some dissatisfaction ex- pressed and a new ticket was put in the | fleld under the name of the independent ’plr!y. Part of the union party ticket was indorsed by the Independents, but for the office of mayor M. G. Merrell was nomi- nated to oppose George E. Schiller on the union ticket. L. Cover, Willlam Smith and J. R. Ratcliff were nominated to op- pose Charles Eatough, O. D. Burke and G. C. Agnew for councilmen, respectively, in the First, Second and Third wards, and Dr. E. E. Boyd was nominated to oppose Willlam MecCullough for member of the school board. The saloon is not an issue in Central City, as the anti-saloon senti- ment is overwhelming here and the ques- tion is no longer brought up. Nebraska News Netes.

FEAR NEW ELECTION OFFICERS & Gro: Steadily Prospects Are Bright for Panic struck the democratic councilmen last night and frightened them away from the session. The democrats have been treated to two heavy body blows by the republican side of the council and were fearful of a repeated attack last night They got the idea that the mayor was to appoint two more members of the boards of election In each precinet to conduct the school election, and rather than submit to that humiliatipn, they stayed away entirely to break the quorum so that the council could transact no business. This action, while it caused much unnecessary delay on important matters of the city government, amused the republicans greatly, for the mayor had no such intention. It is true that the school board ticket is to be on a soparate ballot from the city ticket and that the opinfon of one attorney holds that an additional judge and clerk be ap- pointed, but it is held by the city attorney that the extra judges are not necessary. The republicans have not yet decided that such action is neceesary and are willing to let the matter pass. If they must be ap- | pointed the election boards can swear them | fn on election day from the freeholders present at the opening of the polis. After walting at the city hall untll it was plaii that no democrats would be present the republican members adjourned for one week. OMAHA 'AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA Proceasion Started. The procession, which has been forming | In South Omaha, started last night in a | rousing meeting of the republicans held at | Hunnigan's hall, Thirty-ninth and Q| streets. Procession is a good word, for it | is apparent with each meeting that the re- publican ticket Is gaining ground. Without attempting to attack any democrat or rals- Ing an idsuc on speculation or falsehood the republicans have been winning by giv- Ing & straight-forward campalgn by methods above reproach. The candidates stuck entirely to thelr own territory last| night and spoke on the specific things | which they expect to accomplish in the | event of a successful campaign. Most of | the candidates were there. Everyone was rejolced at the apparent strength of the republican leaders. A prominent man in city affalrs sald yesterday that he believed two weeks ago that the democrats would | win, but he had changed his mind and now | held it a fact that they would have to work hard to save any of the ticket. Registration Returns. The city clork gave a report of a can- vass of the registraticns last night which showed that the First precinct of the Fourth ward and the Second precinct of the Sixth ward had falled to designate the party affillations, but an estimate of the missing precincts showed that the democratic registration had gained about eighty for the day. The canvass showed that 126 persons were enroiled, which | brings the total registration up to 4,849. Of this number approximately 2,405 regis- tered ‘democratic ®and 2,25 . republican. There are about 100 scattering votes. The vojes sworn in on election day will proba- bly ecounterbalance the shrinkage from the registration o that the vote of the mu- nicipal election will probably be not more than. 5,000, The city cleri, J. J. Gillin, democrakic nominee for city treasurer, refused to al- low the mayor's stenographer to copy the pollbook record yesterday, which is con- sidered a very urusual proceeding.. The present mayor is republican, of course. | The stenographer was anxlous to secure ! coples of the registration lists as soon as possible to forward the work of investiga- | tion which is to be conducted by the re-| publican campaign committee. It was thought strange at republican headqua ters last night that the city elerk or any | other official would be interested in de- laying such an examination as the repub- licans propose. The clerk gave as his ex- | cuse’ that he had not yet checked up the | bopks in his office; but there was noth- ing to hinder his releasing the books of a precinct as soon as finished. He will prob- | ably release the books today, as he has completed checking them. Shamrock Ring Contest. The Shamrock Athletic club ring contest closes Wednesday night and the candidates | are very eager and expectant. At last reports three candidates were very close together and each had a very creditable showing. The club will give a grand ball Wednesday evening as the closs of the contest and the winner will be announced. The club has arranged a very elaborate dance and program. Several speakers of prominence will be heard. Several an- nouncements have been made of the stand- ing of the contestanis, but no more are to be ma Roumanian Handy With Stein. John Domu, a Roumanian, hit Joseph Bender with a heavy glass beer stein last night and cut & gevere gash in the Ger- man's forehead, from which he lost a great quantity of blood and which wound required three stitches. Another cut was found near the left eve, but it was not serius. Dr. John Koutsky attended the man at the city jail. Domu was arrested and will probably have some damages to pay, &s in addition to hitting Bender, he threw two giasses through the plate glass | of the joon front In which the row occurred at Twenty-sixth and P streets. The quarrel arose over a disputed -pay check. Mrs. Johanna Gilln Mrs. Johanna Gillin, wife of Edward Gil- lin, died &t 9:40 last night at the residence, 118 North Thirty-ninth avenue. Mrs. Gliin was mother of J. J. Glilin, the city clerk. She had been ill ever since the death of | her little grand daughter about three weeks | ago. The child died In spasms after several hours and in her efforts to save the chiid | she overexerted herself and the result was an attack ef pneumonia. She was appar- ently on the way to safe recovery last night and up to withiy a few momonts of her death seemed better than usual. The | doctor in charge was greatly surprised at | the unexpected turn for the worse. The funeral will probably be arranged today. 7112 was a political organization and that in Omaha to consult on some WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1910. Herein is a big heating lesson Many attractive -looking buildings offered for sale or to rent will not bear basement investigation. Shrewd buyers and rent- ers now-a-days make it their first step of investiga- tion to lay bare the base- ment secret: “It's a cold house—no wonder the cut price!” A poorly heated house is shunned as if it were haunted, whereas houses warmed by RICAN g [DEAL RADIATORS BOILERS are eagerly sought because no house is really worth living in unless the temperature in all rooms can be absolutely controlled in all kinds of weather; and they bring freedom from the back-break- ing work, ash-dust and poisonous coal-gases which attend the use of cheap heating devices. You have noticed that the first question asked in buying or renting is: “How is it heated?” This is bgcause it has come to be recognized ac most important. Please note the serene satisfaction and the convincing air of the real estate agents who answer: “The building is perfectly warmed by an IDEAL Boiler and AMERICAN Radiators,” All real estate dealers will tell you that “IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators will attract and hold best tenants at 10% to 15% higher rental; or property sells quicker and owner gets back the full cost of the heating outfit. Money put “Otherwise the house is a bargain.” into these outfits is therefore an investment—not an expense. They have imitators, but decidedly no equal.” Quickly put into o/d or new cottages, houses, flats, stores, schools, churches, etc. Prices now usually rule the lowest of the year—and in these less hurried months you get the services of the quick- est, most skillful fitters.
