BNEWSOFNEBEASKAA MYSTERY CLEARED. Beatrice Specia-

lto the Lincoln Journal : News has been re-

ceived here that J. F. Chestnut, a former-resident oi this county was murdered inKansas' little more than a month ago ,

and that a man accused ot the crime is-

held for it in. Illinois.-.Tho discovery was-brought about by circumstantial evidence-.The

.15th oi last October Chestnut, with a-

wagon and four horses , camped near Rice ,

Cloud county , Kansas. Four days later-his body was found in the Republican river ,

not far from wliere he had camped , with a-

charge of shot in his head. Nothing what-ever

¬

was known of him by the people in the-vicinity not even his name. It was re-membered

¬

that on the evening Chestnut-camped , a man named Aaron Wells bor-rowed

¬

a gun to go hunting and that he-camo back with a horse the same night and-was not seen again. Inquiries were made-and it was found that he had shipped some-horses and a wagon to Augusta , Illinois ,

using another name. The Kansas author-ities

¬

proceeded to Illinois and found Wells-in jail at Macomb , as he had in the mean-time

¬

been indicted for forgery. The-missing wagon and horses were found and-among other things a watch and chain and-a bloody blanket. In a coat pocket was-found a, railroad mileage ticket issued a-

Beatrice to J. F. Chestnut. In the watc-charm were the pictures of a man and-woman. . These were sent to Beatrice, athe finding of the railroad ticket was th-first clue to the man's identity that-been discovered. It turned out, from th-description of the property found , and b ,

the picture sent , that the man was J. I;

Chest. Wells was immediately accused o-

the murder, and although he denied it , h-

attempted thesame night to'commit suicid-in his cell by opening a vion in his arm. Hi-will no doubt be returned to Kansas fo-

trial. . Chestnutleft here lastFebruary an-had lived in this county about two years-He was about thirty-five years old an-when here was a farmer and trader. Hi-

went from here to Beaver City-where ni-family now are. He passed through abou-the 10th"of October on his last trip.-

fact that they are turning their attention ,

almost wholly to cracking postoffices. We-

.

mortal remains ot Thomas A. Hen-

dricks-

, the fifth vice president of the United-States to die during his term of office , was-

conveyed to tho tomb on tho 2d. Tho-

event was mado memorable in many re-

spects¬

by the presence of a tremendous con-

course¬

of people from all parts ofthe na-

tion¬

to witness the simple rites which pre-

ceded¬

their interment.-Tho

.

cabinet was represented by Secretary-of State Bayard , Secretary of the Interior-Lamar , Secretary of the Navy Whitney ,

Secretary of War Endlcott , and Postmas-ter

¬

General Vilas. The supreme bench of-

the United States was represented by As-

sociate¬

Justices Matthews and Blatchford.-The

.United States senate was represented-

by Senator Edmunds , Allison , Hugh , Har-ris

¬

, Conger, Blair , Dolph , Beck , Vest , Cam-den

-

, Vance , Jones , Voorhees , Payne ,

Palmer and Harrison. The committee rep-resenting

¬

the house of representatives was-composed of W. R. Morrison , Z.Blount , H.-

A..

. Herbert , W. S. Holman , W. M. Springer ,W. P. Hepburn. S. B. Ward , W. A. Phelps ,

J. J. Klemer , Thomas Ryan and P. Dunn.-Tho

.

number of active and ex-members of-

the lower house present in addition to-those named was very large. The gov-ernors

¬

of Indiana , Ohio. Illinois and Ken-tucky

¬

were present , attended by their-staffs and numerous state oihcers. Major-General Schofield , - chief representative of-

the United States army , was present. Ex-President

-

Rutherford B. Hayes and Gen.-

Wm..

. T. Sherman were distinguished cuests.-The

.scenes atthe grave were impressive.-

There.

was no special restraint upon admit-tance

¬

to the cemetery and several hundred-persons had gathered about the grave be-

fore¬

the funeral party arrived. The body-of the procession had disbanded after pass-ing

¬

beyond the city limits and only the-military , with the mounted escort, entered-the cemetery. The space reserved about-the grave had only been defined by placing-a line of plants and evergreen twigs , which-was quite sufficient to protect it from in-

trusion.¬

. Just before the head of the col-

umn¬

came up , the crowd was pushed back-still further to give ample room to friends-who were assigned to the side of the grave-from whence the column approached. This-order was cheerfully obeyed. When Mrs-.Hendricks

., leaning upon the arm of- Mr-

.Morgan.

, stepped upon tlle'matting placed-beside the grave , and before the casket was-removed from the hearse , she 'paused to-look down into the last resting-place of her-dead husband , only to see A picture of-

loveliness in its lining of green leaves andf-

lowers. . Then she turned to the grave of-

her child , which had been made glorious-with a covering of smilax and flowers , and-read in letters of white his baby name-"Margie , " and on top of the grave , in a-field of white , in purple letters , the sen-tence

¬

, "And a Threefold Card Shall Not be-Broken. ." The tender love which she dis-cerned

¬

in this treatment of her treasure by-

sympathetic friends seemed to give her-courage for her last ordeal. Herglancethen-caught the monument with its drapery of-

national Higs enveloping thelifelikeportrait-of her husband facing the grave , and she-turned with the bravery of heroism to wit-ness

¬

the last rites. There had been no rain-fall

¬

for a brief period , but the sky was low-ering.

¬

. Just as the coiiin was placed beside-the grave there was a slight sprinkling of-

rain , causing many to recall the old saying ,

"Blessed nre the dead whom the rain falls-on. ." The Columbus Barracks band atthis-point played the American hymn and the-reading of the service followed. Mrs. Hen-dricks

¬

only leaned more heavily upon Mr-.Morgan

., resting her head at last upon his-

shoulder , but her self-control was bravely-maintained. . While the service was read ,

the congressional committee , members of-

the cabinet and otherdistinguished visitors-stood upon the other side of the grave. The-words of the clergy were now and then-drowned by the sound of the minute gun-which was kept firing until after the inter-ment

¬

was over. When the collin had been-lowered into the vault by four colored as-sistants

¬

of the undertaker , and there was-nothing remaining to be done , for the plac-ing

¬

of the stone and the filling of the grave-was to be attended to by the cemetery-force , there was a moment's pause and the-silence was broken only by the minute gun-.Then

.Mrs. Hendricks and the friends of the-

family passed by the still open but not re-pellant

-

grave and took their carriages.-The

.people who had waited so respectfully-

bhen flocked to the grave to get a nearer-dew. . The military order, "Forward-March ! " started the soldiers homeward ,

the carriages rapidly rolled away and the-Sistinguished dead was left alone.J-

Mr.

¬

in the army if vacancies are insuf-ficient

to provide places , and recommend-sthat all state troops be armed with the-same weapons as the regular army-
