McKinney Contends That His Wife Wae Imprisoned and Abused. Mre. Simpson Claima That She is the Agurieved and Injured Party. The McKinney-Simypson affair is still creating plenty of gosip, both among those who are connected offlcially with the case, and among the neighbors in the vieinity of M, Simpson's residence. It is not legally ended either, according to the staterents of the officers, it being un. derstood that McKinney intends to push a prosecution against Mrs, Simpeon and Kaye. Tho complaint on which Mrs, Simpson and Kaye were arrested was false imprisonuent of Mrs, McKinney and a young child. But in connection therewith McKinney alleges cruelty to his wife on Mrs, Simp- son's part, in various directions, Amone other thing« he alleges that atter he told Mra, Simpson that he shoull be unable to pay_her inmediately, she said that he need «bosrow no trouble from that reason, as she would take care of Mrs, McKiuney during her approaching illness. He further nlleges that no sooner had his wite been taken ill than Mrs. Simpsn ¢ mmenced dunning himifor money and demanding pay for everything. Ifestatesthat he was refused admittance t» the house when he beiieved his wife to be 1 very criticil condition and that a phyeician whom he had obtained to attend her was also refus- ed admittance. This physician was Dr. Siggina, and the doctor alleges that Kaye threatened him with violence if he came there agamn. The doctor is a small mun and Kaye is o big one, but it is stated that when Kaye made his threats, Dr. Siggins told him to sturt the procession immedintely, « hereupn Kaye ulid into the house and locked _the door, Ur. Siggins was unable to getin, so he was obliged to go away, McKin ey al- leges that during the time his wile was shut in a room and he was refused admit- tance to ree her, she was most beastl treated, being deprived of fire and suffi. cient food, and . entirely uncared for. He claims that she wa alwo threatened with Miwi sent to the poor house, and told by Mre. Simpson that the latter intended to have McKinney imprisoned, if the money was net forth- coming; that the trunk was taken fiom the room when Mrs. McKinuey was lyin; sick, and wns threatened with total depri- vation of feod, if she did not give Mrs, Simpson some security for what the latter claimed was ber due, 815.00 per week, or over $30.00, for the two weeks during which the helpless woman was ill. THE OTHER SIDE of the affair is stated at length in commu- nications to Tie Bek from Ms, MeKin- ney an i from Kaye, The verbosity and length of these communicati ns precludes their publicati n, but the facts therein Sleized aro) abonit.am {ollbwas THat Mre, McKinney first eogaged a room on Nov. 4th, for which a month’s rent was paid in advance; that aft “oceupying the room they burned wood in a coal stove and spoiled it; that MeKinney engaged board for his wife at the rate of twenty-five cents per m al, and that the board thus engaged and furnished was not paid for except in part, and that o largs part of such board is still due; that Mrs. cKinney was both unclean 'y and repul- sive in her habits, and desired to be waitea on in muny unnecessary ways; that woen hia wife was taken sick’ McKinncy agreed to pay 815 per week for herbourd, carcand vursing and promised from day to any Which he never fulfilled; that upon one occasion, when a-ked for the amount then overdue Mrs Sim son, he both refused to sy and replied by oaths, and then struck Bot i the face and also struck hee little daughter; that Mrs, Simpson went to Dr. Edwards for advice and was referred by him to Mayor Boyd, who heard her_story snd then advised her to keop McKinney out of the house until'’he paid the amount a.roed upon and due; that Kaye advised Mrs, Simpson to follow the mayor's advice to the letter, and th t she did so, be- lieving she was right. Mrs, Simpson denies having treated Mrs, McKinney either cruelly or in any way improperly 1ut, on the other hand, when she ran ont of means, and had nothing in the house to eat, she was obliged to borrow money from Kuye to keep the sick woman supy with food. She also denies having kept Mrs. McKinney o priscner, but that the latter was allowed to go abont the house as she pleased, and was not restricted from leavivg, if she desired to do so. A MIXED UP MESS, The affair is a docidedly “‘mixed up mess,” and the contradictory stories by the parties interested are ro widely at varianco 8 to the facts that there s “evidently a *“‘uigger iu de fence” somewhere, and one is reminded of the answer to the old conundrum, about the boy who said that a © rtuin girl was the daughter of his own father and mother and yet was no relative of hi. The boy lied.

About 5 v'clock last evening an exciting occurrence took place on 17th street, be. tween Douglas and Dodge, in one of the new houses boing erected by McCaffrey and Kunowles, the contractors, James Berry isu plasterer by trade, sand cawe from 8t Lonis some time ago, since | ¢, which he had taken the contract to plaster the two houses being constructed by the firm named. It is claimed that the work was #0 imperfectly done that the architect, A. T. Large, Jr.,, would not acoept it and B"I:y I\'lll:‘-itlfl:t‘l Oihllfl. he vm.;.ld have to make it good, which he agreed to do, He is addicted te drink, and has been, it i« claimed, ‘‘crazy drunk” for several days r‘ul. During this time he insisted on ugh McCaffrey paymng him the Salance on his imperfect work, ahout $125, which McCafirey refused to do of coursr, Berry is charged with having made threats at various times that he would have that money or blood, and when he and Hugh et st evening aud he demanded hi money right then and then, a flow of gore was anticipated. Berry prowptly domanded bis m ney, and being angry at the refusal to give {t to him he became enrage | and went forhis rovolver which was in his hip pcoket McCaffrey saw the move and deew his “pop,” but it failed to go off or the trouble would mo-t likely have end«d then and there. Hugh dod:ed into the stairway as the bullet, fired by his antagonist, whistled close by bis head, he found wafe re- lnl‘u in ‘making tracks for cover,” without stopping to continue the contest, he went for a couple of police.

Heinrick- wen, on Sixteenth street near California, was gone through on Saturday aight usder rather mysterious sircumatancee, The market was closed up that night Iater than usual, havine been thorough'y rerubbed out during the evening and the fire left burning in the effice, Sunday mom. ing Mr. James Body, the hook-keeper, went to the siiop and fixed up the fire, He found it locked and noted nothing wus- pictous, beyond the finding of a couple of a couple of pieces of meat on the floor, and lhnr&n supposed had been knocked down the n'ght before, Mr, Body was in the shop again about church time, and Mr. Heivricksen himself about noon, but neither of them saw anything wronir. Yesterday John Smith, who drives the delivery wagon, discovered the ab- sence of a forty pound tub of butter, a havnch of venison, a quarter of pork and several other articles, and it soon became apparent that the shop hed been touched. How it could have been done and the doors and windows left und turbed, was n mystery, but it is probably o sily explained. Mr. Body, on Thanks- ciying day, lost his key to the f ont door and it is mow thought that some one found it and has been making ure of it eyer since, probably carrying meat off every n ght, which wae not missed at first. rad not the butter disappeared, the theft might still be undetectsd, but they have killed the goose that laid the golden egz by being hoggish, jnst as the man did in the fable. Another circumstance yives the thieves away and indicates that they made tracks with ther b oty for North Omaba. This wax the discovery early Sunday mo ning of the quatter of pork referred to in the al ey near the Mec- Crary brick row «n_Seventeenth strect, It was seen by o gentleman residing there and the attention «f several persons called to it, but whether it was taken in and saved for the owner is unknown, Unquestionable Gratitude.

She Becomes Despondent Over Af- fairs in General and Newspaper Reporte in Particular, The peighbors of Mrs. Simpson were considerable excited yesterday about noon by a girl rushing out of her house with the alarm that Mrs, Simpson had taken something and was dying. Investi. gation developed the fact that the lady was under the influence of 8 heavy dose of chloroform, which she had satvrated a handk-rchief with, sndinhaled until she was entirely insensible. The alarm pro- cured help, and a physician wan at once summoned, who succeeded in at length restoring the lady to conscionsness, When she realized that her attempt had been unsuccessful Mra, Simpson made an en- deavor at explanation which indicated that she had become dispondent over the re- cent trouble arwing out of the McKinney family, and the notoriety she had acquired through the papers, However this may be, it is suspicioned that other reasons, among which Mr. Kaye, who was arrested on the saine chargo as Mrs. Simpson, fig- ured promioently, led to her taking the mortal coil. The effort «f the pliysician was success- ful in restoring Mra, Simpson to 4 more serene state of mind and more active con- dition of body, in which it is to bs hcped she will remain. THOSE W10 KNOW something about the McKinney affair, or who profess to know s mething by reason ol‘llving near Mrs. Slmsnnn‘n reai. dence, state that the latter lady is in reality more sinned against than sinning. They say that McKinney is by no means well-behaved man and is responsible for the whole affair. Oue neighvor, who charges McKinney with stealing her ¢ al, averred very emphatically that if she had had the trouble with the family that Mrs. Simpon did she would have pitched “daddy, mammy, kid and all” into ths street and allowed them to paddle their own canoe, instead of attempting to shel- ter the woman and child aud keep the old man out. There is something in the case which will certainly bear investigation, and if some of the nl‘l’eunlinnq against-Mc- Kinney be true he should be given a back seat in short order. Deaf asa Pt. Mrs, W. J. Lang, Bethany, Ontario, states that for fifteen months she was troubled with a dise e in the e:r, causing entire deafness. In ten minutes after using THomAx’ Ecuectrie O1i she found relief, and in a short time she was en- tirely cured and her hearing restored. decl9-eodlw A MODERN PILGRIMAGE' Taken by the Knights Templar of Omaha to Lincoln.
