Saturday’s Seneation at Plattemouth. Plattsmouth is an entorprising lit- tlo city and is becoming more metro- On Saturday o couple of her citizons furnished a firat- class zengation which cost one of them hia life, and will probably treat the other to a necktie party before many moons have waxed and waned. The affair alluded to was the shooting of F. J. Mettecr, a carpenter, by John R. Polin, formerly deputy sheriff and jailor at Plattsmouth. It seems an af- fair at the bottom of which was THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER. There had been, it is claimed, an undue intimaecy between Metteer and Pojin's wife for the past year. Polin was proprietor of the European res- taurant, at which Bfetteer boarded, and the two men were on the most friendly terms, The Journal saye, olmost like brothers, The latter was a freoand.go-easy sort of a man, whose only faults scem to have been a failure to pay his hills and a fondness for women, both quite common failinge, Polin ie a small, sinewy man, with a big black moustache and dark hair, o 14 2 p'ucky man, with any amount of sand, even whon fighting against odds, | ; on cno ocoasion, when jailor, made » desperate stand against risoncr who wan attempting to es- and who, bel much larger, did finelly overpower him and get wway., This man, Bill Bitters, was afterwards recaptured, when it was found that Polin had TORN HIS SHIRT and olothing all into tatters in trying to hold him. A short time ago James Forrier ro- turned from Utah and gave Polin his revolver as security for a fow days’ board, and it was with this weapon that the killing was done It was a rim fire, Colt's revolver, 38 calibre, and had but one cartridge in it when given to Polin, who subsequently tried to get a new supply, but could find nothing but center fire cartridges in the city. The trouble which led directly to the shooting eeems to have begun during state fair week, when Mea, Polin came to Omaha accom- pavied by Metteor, Tt is claimed that at tho time tho latter paid her money due her husband for board and sho neglected to give him any- thing to show for it in the way of & receipt, politan every day. SHE DID NOT RETURN to Plattemouth from this city, but wont over into Towa to visit friends. Polin, it appears, had soveral times dunned Metteer for the amount which the latter claimed Mrs, Polin had written to her husbaud that it was paid and had also sent him something in the form of a receipt. The husband being aware that Metteer had received a commu- nication from his wife, suspected that it was something more than a business letter and determined to get posses- sion of it, Metteer had made a tri) to Louisville, from which he return on Friday evening, and it is stated that Polin had veen on quite a spree ud wes just bracing up from its effects, The former had quit boarding at the Europeau restsurant on actount of the disputed bill had gone to board at Cur- estauriut. On the morning folowing his return, Baturday, his former landlord went ON THE WARFATH after that Jetter, and he said to Sheriff Hyers, whom he met on the streets, that ‘‘unloss Metteer gave up the let- ter he would shoot him,” but the of- ficer took no stock in his threats. He then went to Ouorran's restau- raut and asked for Metteer who was sitting inside, and who came out and joined him on the street. Polin then demanded the letter his wife had written which Metteer rofused to give him, The two walked on to Polin’s restaurant and entered the frontroom. The buiiding is a onc-ttory frame div- ided into three rooms, the;front one a sitting room, the mnext the dining room and the third the kitchen. The doors opening into each ave all in the centre of the partition walls and on a line with the front door. Asthe two men entered the sitting room, Beverly Givens, a colored man, was standing at one side of the front door and says he know from the expressionon Polin’s faco that there was going to be AN AWFUL ROW. Polin lod the way into the middle or dining room, followed by Metteer who was not anticipating any row, but expecting to have a quiet talk over the whole matter. Arriving in the dining room, the proprietor stepped to the door leading to the kitchen and cloeed it after which he relurned and walked over toward the atairway leading to the attic story, to the left of the door through which Metteer had just entered. The latter atood about four feet away and to the right of the door, having a bundle in one hand. Tho door leading to the kitchen had a cubby window in it and through this Mrs, E. Parrey, the cook, saw the movements of the two men. No words passed between ) them, and the firat thing she saw was when Polin suddenly drew the revolver and aimed it at his companion. MRY, PARREY SHREIKED, andat the same instant was heard the report of the revolver, the ball from which was sent with a too fatal aim. It ontered the forehead of the unfortunate victim abouta half an inch abeve the right eye-brow and seems to have piercad its way through to the base of ihe skull, where the ball split and a portion of it rebounded with wuch force as to pass out of the fore- head about an inch and a halt directly above where it had entered, leaving the appearance of two separate bullet wounds. The wounded man fell over backward on the floor, right upon the flat of his back, unconscious, and with the brains oozing through the ghastly wounds on his forehead. Hia murderer walked coolly to the door and as he went to go out turned and looked with A DIABOLICAL SMILE of satisfied vongeance at his victim, He went straight down Main street to Sceond where he had seen Sheriff Hyers and saying “‘I've killed that fellow,” gave himself iu custody. This was at 9:60 in the forenoon, Matteer was picked up by those who were attracted by the shot and who met Polin coming out and saw him putting his weapon in bis pocket, aud was carried by them to a room at Carran’s restaurant. Here he lingered day at the point of death, being vieited about 11 o'clock by his wife and daughter, from the former of whom he was divorced about six months ago and by whom he had a son now fifteen and a daughter some- what younger. At b p. m. the unfor- tunate man died, having remained un- concoious from the time of the shoot- ing. A coroner's jury was impannelled and THE INQUEST began at 9 p. m,, lasting until 2 o'clock in the morning. The jury consisted of Messrs, Holloway, P, B, Murphy, J. N. Sage, J. Farthing, Chambers and Sliegel. The post mor- tem revealed the fact that the portion of the bullet which had remained ' in the brain weighed 70 grains and that which rebounded out weighed 52 gralns, After hearing the testimony the jury returned a verdict which was in a&‘uc that the death of Metteer was a premeditated murder. The remains of the murdered man were burled yesterday under the aus- pices of the Temple of Honor, of which he was & member. Polin, being visited at the jail, was found taking the matter very coolly. He affected sorrow for the deed, but claimed that be had only drawn his pistol to scare Metteer, and the latter grasped it, and in the souffle it was discharged. This, however, is consid- ered TO0 THIN and is entirely refuted by Mrs. Parrey, who witnessed the whole affair. The whole affair is locked upon by the citizens of Plattsmouth as & cowardly and deliberate murder, and while neither of the men were n to the welfare of the city, they feel thai justice should be meted out to the perpetrator of the crime. e —— —The grand juwy concluded its labors Baturday before the final adjournment of court, The following additional bills were reported: W, A.

It was the opinion of the jury that the slide was accidenta! and that no blame could attach to anyonoe for the occurrence.” The unfortunate man was interred at 9:30 a, m.

Synopsis of a Sermon by Rev, W, J. Hariha, OtLer Items of Interest in the Same Connection. The pastor of the Second Presby- terian church, Rev. W. J. Harsha, haviug read part of the 63d chapter ot Isaiah and part of the 14th chapter of St. Johu, at the Sabhath morning service, took his text: “I will come again and receive you unto Myself.” — John 14:3 The following are eome of the thoughus brought fo.th in the dis- course: Salvation consists of the appearance of God to man and man to God. The one is the cause and the other the effect, We receive impressions of the love of God to man as indi- cated in the verse, but we do not look at it then logically, and if this were brought to our minds logically, it would sorprise us to seo the depth of its meaning, From the Old Testament, which is g0 full of apt pictures and prophetic, we select two scenes: First, the ap- pearance of God to man; and, second, the appearance of man to God. The watchman on the wall looks to- ward Edom and sces one approaching from Bozrah, glorious in his appear- ance. What is this? Itis one com- ing from victory, no one having been found to assist him, he has tread the wine preass alone. In the third chapter of the Sang of Solomon we see the glory of the church presented. A figure is seen coming out of the wilderness like a pillar of smoke. Those in the world are floating from the wilderness of desolation and unrest of conecience to the place whero the typical influence of the one clothed in crimson raiment is felt. This wo see in the atonement three factors. First—Divine holiness, Second--Humsn sin, Third--The divine human person. In this divine holiness ‘here is a pathos whick spesks foreibly to the chrigtian who has experienced the pleasure of recciving the divine gift, Christ comes to man. We are aware of the antithesis betwcen the two, stiil they meet. And the only pos- sible means of grace is the coming of Christ to man, But_there are those of the world who dislike to have their dignity trampled under foot by a gift for which there has been no compensa- tion made by them. And they also object to the stern laws of God, They cannot worship while standing, in the presence of those uncomely objects, Go then behind the laws to the holi- ness of God and man will find it im posible to escaps being accountable | . to the holiness of this Supreme Being In the person cuming from Bozrah there was innate strength which caused | him to come through the country of | the enomy.

If the Israclites left the cnmp they were in danger of being abducted by the enemy and taken to Bozreh, and should evil cowe to the camp they were ever mindtul of their living enemy. Inlike mauner 13 Satan wag- ing a warfare with the hnman mind. Daring the rebellion if any soldier were to raise his cap above the en- trenchment 1t would be immediately riddled with bullets from the enemy, and a man attempting to raise himself above this human entrenchment be- comes a target for the evil one. Hu- man sin is the only thing that debars us from God. And in the second part of the verse thereis pathor: **T'o receivo you un- to Myself.” That T may open to you the gate, through which when you pass you will be able to look upon the face of God and live, hitherto with- held because of the influence of sin upon yon. . It was in the garden of Eden where Satin poisoned the waters of the river which flows to us, and in the garden of Gethsemine we see one fighting against the influence of this poison upon humanity 3. The Divine person. We must not worship the dcetrine of the atone- ment but the atoner. The text reads ““I will come to you again,” 'There is a personality. In the first picture we see a struggie from the enemy, in the gecond a struggle to the enemy, but here we find them combined, and Christ must tread the wine press alone, Scientists have digcovered dificrent forces, but have united all these forces in one which is called a corrola- tion of forces, for he is able to tread the wine-press alone. He does this 80 willingly and thereby prepares the way for man but man is so unwilling to be saved. The Egyptian brand, which repre- sents & man kneelivg with his hands tied behind him and a zword at his throat, manifests the work of the con- acience. It is not that the word of God is the originator of superstition, but is an indicator of a true religion, ae truly as a counterfeit indicates gen- | uine currency or cein, Some tay como down from the croes and I vill belteve. Or take the blood out of the atonement and thero will be many to follow you. Without | shedding of blood there 1s no remis- sion, Should we take the pilot from | the ship before we venture on the oceau?! By no means, It differs little whether Christ came before or after death, but in either place he will take you to Himself.

From man we simply ask justice, but of God we shrink from asking justice and ask mercg rather, Thus we see the pathos in the words of the Son of God when he says: “I will come again,” The simile in the scriptures, ‘‘God is light,” may be used forcibly here, The light truly may be obscured, but it can never be impure. When a hand rnrthlly hides the sun it may be looked at, but one cannot open his eyes to admit the light of the sun when it is shining in its full strength. The cloud of human sin hangs heavily between man and the face of God, es- pecially before the minds of some, while they easily examine and com- ment upon His characteristics. The angels in heaven ory not to Him power! power! power! or justice! jus- tice! justice! but holy! holy! holy! A man says I will be perfectly hon- est and pay all my debts, and thereby free myself from punishment of God. But God says emphatically without holiness no man shall see my face. Human siu.
