Leonard Rail, the Victim, Is Decoy- ed From Hia Home and Cruel- ly Murdotod. THE MOTT HOKKIHLK Ct!MK LVKR COM. 31ITTCU IS THE VALLEY. The Manlfrer Sajipo-- d to le ohp Jopk Cook, a Hired Mas. 8700 REWARD OFFERED. On laat Sumlay afternoon word was brought to Red Cloud that another re- volting crime had been committed near Blue Hill. The news created quite an excitement in this city from the fact that only a few fhort week jgo mi other human being had met a similar fate in that portion of Webster count . AlHnanner of stories were told in re- gard to the last tragedy, and none seemed to be as bad as the re-u- li show- ed it to be. The murdered man was well known in Blue Hill, and had lived in that vicinity lhl'6, d;innir which time he had gtintd a ho-- t of friends and succeeded in accumulating a farm and considerable stock. lie was an inolfeusive hardworking farmer and no man had aught to say against him. He biborcd hard to make an 'honest living, and attended strictly to his own welf;irjThis fact alone 5 wtTalTmakes the crime so heinous in its nature. The villian, who ever he might have been could not possibly have held a grudge against this man, as he had only worked for him a week and could not have engendered any animosity against him in that time that would have led him to commit the horrible crime that took place on the fatal night of November first. Rail was simply decoyed and murdered in cold blood by this fiend incarnate in hu- man form, which shocked the peaceful citizens of Blue Ilili and sur- rounding country that all business was su-peud- ed during the investigation by the coroner. A Chief reporter in company with Dr. Mo-e- coroner of Webster county, visited the scene of the murder on Monday, and was thcro-- f re able to glean the following facLs. It seems that about oyc week previous to the death C it"ll X 1HA.MI AITEAM.D AT BLUE HILL in search of work apparently, and wn directed to several parties living near there tluit wore known to want hired help, but each man refused him as he staled, until he made application to the murdered man. who at once en- gaged him for a treason. All went well for tne week which the trampjivorked for Hall and the last named became quite attached to him fiom the fact that he appeared to be a good woik-ma- n and icady to do any work that was et before him. This fact alone would naturally have mado a man think well of the fellow. No suspicion was aroused in thc minds of Rail or family in regard to this tramp, al- though the investigation by the coro- ner would plainly show that he was maturing plans of some such crime as he finally executed on the night of November 1. His stories after being thoroughly analyzed were veiy trans- parent, and if they had been carefully weighed would have had a suspicious look. HE TOLD VUUOUS STOKIKS about asking for work, which, repeated after the murder of Rail, would have led any one to believe that .the crime was premeditated in a cold and de- liberate manner by this depraved young man, or better, fiend, who has scarcely arrived at his majority. It seems simply awful to contemplate the perpetration of such a horrible crime at the hands of so voting a man. If there could have been any cause the aspect of the case .would have been seen in a much different light. Fol- lowing the story up we find that Cook as he gave his name, had finally cul- minated his plans and fixed up a story tnat his .folks, who he said lived in Nodaway county, MTo., had sent him a letter that they had sold out their farm for J$1S,000 and wanted him lo meet them in Lincoln.Neb. and go to California, and said he would have to quit work and wanted Rail to take him to Blue Hill on Saturday night to take the 9PM train for that place. This was one part of his 6cheme to entrap Rail, and on Saturday after- noon set about to put the balance into execution. Aceordinglylfe- - went (o the house and asked Mrs. Rail for the hammer, remarking by the way that the wagon was out of kilter, and t:-a- t he wanted to fix it She not knowing where the hammer was, told him to take the hatchet that lay near by where she stood. Cook picked it up and went back to the wagon and fixed it, secreting the hatchet either in thc wagon or on his person as will hereafter be shown. To further his diabolical scheme he told another story about some fellow whom he had seen prowling around the wheat stack and suggested that he ought toCbe loeked af- ter. This etory was evidently concocted in order to get Rail to go that way so that he would not be apt to run acro3 anyone that would interfere with his SCREXKOr JftJRDE. The stacks of grain are located about one-ha- lt mile north of Rail's residence in a big meadow and an unfrequented spot, a good place to commit jurt such a crime aa was done on this occasion.

Our reporter heard the indignant remarks from the people and with one accord iufeircd that it would not be healthy for tho fiend to appear in that locality. Hemp was freely spoken of as quick and cer- tain remedy for such characters, 'ihe crime of murder is becoming too gen- eral for thc public safety. A too low price is placed on human life, and The Chief believes in "letting no guilty man escape.'' Whoever the blood of this in- nocent man, Leonard KSI1, upon his head may to have the wrath and condemnation of every citi- zen upon his head and will and be meted out the severest pen alty that the law affords. There should be no such thing as as cases of this should be severely dealt $700 REWARD OFrERED, five hundred of wnich has been subscribed by the people of Hill, $200 will be offered by Gov.

MURDERED.A Most Revolting And

Fiendish Crime atBlue Hill.

AN INOFFENSIVE GERMANFARMER MEETS HIS DEATH

ly Murdotod.

8700 REWARD OFFERED.

On laat Sumlay afternoon word wasbrought to Red Cloud that another re-

volting crime had been committed nearBlue Hill. The news created quite anexcitement in this city from the factthat only a few fhort week jgo miother human being had met a similarfate in that portion of Webster count .

AlHnanner of stories were told in re-

gard to the last tragedy, and noneseemed to be as bad as the re-u- li show-

ed it to be. The murdered man waswell known in Blue Hill, and had livedin that vicinity lhl'6, d;innirwhich time he had gtintd a ho-- t offriends and succeeded in accumulatinga farm and considerable stock. liewas an inolfeusive hardworking farmerand no man had aught to say againsthim. He biborcd hard to make an

'honest living, and attended strictly tohis own welf;irjThis fact alone 5

wtTalTmakes the crime so heinous inits nature. The villian, who ever hemight have been could not possiblyhave held a grudge against this man,as he had only worked for him a weekand could not have engendered anyanimosity against him in that time thatwould have led him to commit thehorrible crime that took place on thefatal night of November first. Rail wassimply decoyed and murdered in coldblood by this fiend incarnate in hu-

man form, which shocked thepeaceful citizens of Blue Ilili and sur-rounding country that all business wassu-peud- ed during the investigation bythe coroner. A Chief reporter incompany with Dr. Mo-e- coroner ofWebster county, visited the scene ofthe murder on Monday, and was thcro-- f

re able to glean the following facLs.

It seems that about oyc week previousto the death C it"ll

in search of work apparently, and wn

directed to several parties living nearthere tluit wore known to want hiredhelp, but each man refused him as hestaled, until he made application tothe murdered man. who at once en-

gaged him for a treason. All went wellfor tne week which the trampjivorkedfor Hall and the last named becamequite attached to him fiom the factthat he appeared to be a good woik-ma- n

and icady to do any work thatwas et before him. This fact alonewould naturally have mado a manthink well of the fellow. No suspicionwas aroused in thc minds of Rail orfamily in regard to this tramp, al-

though the investigation by the coro-

ner would plainly show that he wasmaturing plans of some such crime ashe finally executed on the night ofNovember 1. His stories after beingthoroughly analyzed were veiy trans-

parent, and if they had been carefullyweighed would have had a suspiciouslook.

HE TOLD VUUOUS STOKIKS

about asking for work, which, repeatedafter the murder of Rail, would haveled any one to believe that .the crimewas premeditated in a cold and de-

liberate manner by this depravedyoung man, or better, fiend, who hasscarcely arrived at his majority. Itseems simply awful to contemplate theperpetration of such a horrible crimeat the hands of so voting a man. Ifthere could have been any cause theaspect of the case .would have beenseen in a much different light. Fol-

lowing the story up we find that Cookas he gave his name, had finally cul-

minated his plans and fixed up a storytnat his .folks, who he said lived inNodaway county, MTo., had sent him aletter that they had sold out theirfarm for J$1S,000 and wanted him lomeet them in Lincoln.Neb. and go toCalifornia, and said he would have toquit work and wanted Rail to takehim to Blue Hill on Saturday night totake the 9PM train for that place.This was one part of his 6cheme toentrap Rail, and on Saturday after-noon set about to put the balance intoexecution. Aceordinglylfe- - went (othe house and asked Mrs. Rail for thehammer, remarking by the way thatthe wagon was out of kilter, and t:-a- t

he wanted to fix it She not knowingwhere the hammer was, told him totake the hatchet that lay near bywhere she stood. Cook picked it upand went back to the wagon and fixedit, secreting the hatchet either in thcwagon or on his person as willhereafter be shown. To further hisdiabolical scheme he told another storyabout some fellow whom he had seenprowling around the wheat stack andsuggested that he ought toCbe loeked af-

ter. This etory was evidently concoctedin order to get Rail to go that way sothat he would not be apt to run acro3anyone that would interfere with his

zen upon his head and will andbe meted out the severest pen

alty that the law affords. There shouldbe no such thing as as casesof this should be severelydealt
