Seen and Heard — The Land of the Incas

Council Bluffs, Iowa, 1908

Land of Incas — In order to accommodate those who have other engagements early in the evening, the lecture by Frank R. Roberson at the high school auditorium tonight will begin at 8:30, instead of 8 o'clock. Mr. Roberson's address this evening will take up the subject, "The Land of the Incas," and will, it is expected, treat of ancient history and tradition as well as of modern customs. It will be illustrated with stereopticon views, as have been the addresses delivered by Mr. Roberson before. The subject for Mr. Roberson's lecture a week from tonight has, by request of many persons, been changed to "Imperial India," which is said to be one of the best of the lecturer's addresses. It will begin at 8:30 o'clock in the evening, like the lecture tonight.

Decision Thursday — Justice Cooper will hand down his decision Thursday in the case in which Harry Stein alleges that Richard Foreman gave him a $10 bill and received change for $20. Stein claimed that he received the bill without examining it and that when he demanded that Foreman repay $10, the latter refused. The case was heard by Justice Cooper Monday afternoon.

To Industrial School — Probation Officer Henry DeLong and Tracy Rodwell, deputy clerk of the district court, leave this morning for Eldora, where they will take Henry Rodman, Bertie, Earl and Ernest Zentz, who have been committed to the industrial school for boys. The boys range in ages from 8 to 15 years.

Bounty on Wolf — William Price of Boomer township brought to the office of County Auditor Cheyne one wolf scalp, the result of the wolf hunt there Monday. He received the $5 bounty allowed.

Dreaming He's Fighting Intruders, Hacks Brother With Ax

1902

MURDERS IN A DREAM.

NASHVILLE, Ind., June 28 — Dreaming he was fighting burglars, John Snyder, aged 18 years, the son of Newberry Snyder, living near Beck's grove, eight miles south of here, seized an ax and literally chopped to pieces his brother, Grover, aged 20 years.

The young men had attended an ice cream supper at the home of County Superintendent Manuels and on their return home they were told by their mother that she had heard someone prowling about the premises and she showed them where she had placed the ax which she intended to use to defend herself if she was attacked.

The young men retired, and a short time afterward Mrs. Snyder was aroused by the screams of her son and rushed into the bed room to find John standing horror-stricken beside his brother's bed with a bloody ax in his hands. The victim is terribly lacerated about the body and legs and his recovery is considered impossible. John claims he was dreaming burglars "were in the house and that he was beating them off when he seized the ax and attacked his brother.
