Inx any event, he would name for no Jury could be found In the state which would acquit him In the face of the mass of testimony that has been piled up against him. Miss Gray was one or the most pop ular young women in Kvansvllle. She was one of the brightest pupils I had In my school. The fact that she was murdered to gain a paltry 1300 has aroused the town against Prescott as1 "' sent by the people of the state to Wash ' ington as their senator two years ago.

As a result of the slights which he ; lias handed to his henchmen since his departure for official life in Washing ton he will have hard sledding when " fie does get back and meets with the men who have sharpened their knlvea for him. What these knives can do on occasion Was shown during the last i meeting of the state central committee . which refused him a seat on the dele- fat Ion to the national convention and snored him throughout, the dellbera v Hons of' the committee.

Orton is a candidate for speaser and will fight any one who is an anti-Statement No. 1 man, while he will assist any one who develops more strength than he. provided the candidate signed State ment No. 1. Practically the same con-i dltion prevails In the senate. -Senator Bourne desires that the leg islature should be organized along the lines mapped out by Orton and Mc Cusker, according to the popular be lief.4 The contest lor the organization of the- two houses will not -commence in earnest until late in August and maybe not until during September.

The store closed at 10 o'clockon Saturday even ing, but Miss Gray remained to com plete her work on the books, ller fail ure to reach home at 11 o'clock aroused the fear that some harm had befallen her, and her nged parents, who de pended upon her as their sole support,! gave the alarm. The proprietor of the store wns notl- i fled and. summoning the police, went to the store, where he discovered unmis takable evident e of a crime.

Investigation of the cash accounts showed that the murderer had secured about $300 after striking down the girl Willi some heavy instrument. Suspicion was at once fastened upon Prescott, who was found al his home sound asleep. He was placed under ar rest, but later released on what ap peared to be a satisfactory alibi.

July 6. William J. Bryan is Isolated today at Falrvlew Farm, rain and wind having cut off all communication with the outside world. The trolley line between Lincoln and Falrvlew Is unable to operate today, the roadbed being under water, which la rushing like a mighty river. A repair crew was sent out to Inspect and re build the line today, but reported "that the bridge nesr the Bryan farm Is washed out. This means that the line will probably be out of commission for several days, as it will be Impossible to rebuild the bridge at the present stage of the water. Automobile and carriage roads are C radically Impassable, although it Is elleved that the trip might be made by the latter if the driver is willing to brave the danger. Bryan and Ill's wife narrowly escaped being caught In the first heavy down pour last night. They had been out driving, and reached home Just in time to escape a drenching or possible Injury In tho floor. All communication with the Bryan home is by telephone. The flood situation, besides maroon ing Bryan, threatens to delay the ar rival of several state delegations In Denver and la likely to necessitate the postponement of the convention. The Georgia and Alabama delegates and several hundred boosters are side tracked on the Rock Island road at Havelock, six miles east of here, unable to get through to Lincoln. It is believed Theodore Bell of Cali fornia, temporary chairman of the Den ver convention, who conferred with Bryan today, cannot get away In time to wield the gavel when the convention assembles. Bell's last hope to reach Denver Is by a circuitous route via Kansas Utv. taking the Missouri Pa cific road, which Ig stopping Its trains tn the extreme northeast section of Lincoln.

Tills point does not apply to later cases, nn the case decided today is an old one and this weakness has been remedied.
