THE DAILY SDAY DEC EMBER 23 1884. BEE TUE AN INTERESTING CHAPTER Taken From & Romantic Story of Real Life, A Tale of Three Persons and Three Otties, Saturday afternoon in the United States district court a decree of divorce was granted to Mrs. Abble Cooley from her husband, William Cooley. Back of this apparently uninteresting logal event is & history, Interesting and romantic in no small degree—so romantio, In fact, that in chronicling In detail the history of the afTair a large element of the extraordinary must enter into the story. It seems that In the year 1872, at Pittsburg, Pa, William Cooley, then connected with the Pennsylvania railway company, married a young and handsome widow, Mra. Abble Rice. Among other effocts that Mr. Cooley fell heir to by thia alliance was a pretty and precocious little girl, the daughter of Mrs, Rice by a former husband. Everything went smoothly for some years, until Cooley, who has in his nature a dash of the gay Lotharlo, became crlminally involved with a young girl, a certaln Rose More. To avoid scandal, oon as the criminal liason was discovered, Cooley determined to leave the sceno of his troubles. Ac- cordingly, without informing his wife of his intentions, he came to Omaha She, last week took his departure for the ex position at New Orleans and will visit the orange groves of Florida before turning to Omaha, There are & number of people In Oma ha during this weather who can fully sympathizs with the members of the Greely expedition, The coal men aro kept busy passing around the black diamonds, and it keeps the man to whom they are passed busy to find the wherewith to pay for them. If there s any one class of men more than another who can fully appreciate this weather it s the street car drivers Trains generally aro late on account of tho extreme cold weather. The ice men have a broad smile upon their count snances, and a lsrge army of men are at work upon the orystal fields reaping the bountiful harvest, Who was the party that wished for cold weather when the mercury stood 90 In the shade! No one answers, It must have been a mistake. Those maguificent oyater patties served at the Child's Hospital benefit fair, were mado at J. E. McCray & Oo.’s *“Union Pacific” flour mills, It is the best family flour in the market and Is made in Omaha of Minnesota hard wheat. | — *"Tis beauty truly blent wiiose tad and white Natures'own sweet and cunutog hands laid on, ozzoni’s powder imparts a clehmess Making the skin as soft as dowi, “"Tis a set of features, a complexion, Tae tincture of a skin_that I aduire,” In using Pozzoni's complexion powiler, Fairest charms you will acquire, however,thoughamarting under the indig- nity otlered to her feelings and affection, detormined to come to her husband and take him once more as her ‘‘only and own.” She joined him In this city, a re- conciliatlon was affected and for ten years the couple lived together. During this period Cooley was in the employ of the Union Pacific railway. A dissolute, drunken rascal, the husband was contin. ually ill-treating his wife and no large share of happiness vouchsafed to the couple in their marital relatlons, In 1882 Mrs. Cooley placed her daugh ter, now blostoming into womanhood, in a convent at Salt Lake City, Utah, About this time, also, she left Cooley and took up her abode in the convent with the daughter, hoping by separation to secure that peace which life with her drunken husband had made impossible, Mr. Cooley, a8 soon as this phase of affairs presented itself went to the lozal courts and pro- cured a divorce from his wife, on alleged grounds of infidelity, claiming that sho was living in open adultery witha Salt Lake man, one Ralph Brown. The wife being unable to appear and disprove the charges against her honor, the divorce was granted, Oooley’s evidence, it is needless to say, wasa fabrication from beginning to end. A fow months afterward in the summer of 1882, Mrs, Cooley returned to Omaha, unaware, of course that she wasa di- vorced wife. As soon as she arrived in this city, Cooley called upon her, and wlth penitence profound, informed Mrs. Qooley of the divorce which he had ob- tained. Ho begged her, in conclusion, to allow him to re-marry her and once more enter with her, the ‘‘fields of Ly- meneal happiness.” She consented and ‘the two were once again made man and wife. Soon after this Mr, and Mes, Cooly re- turned from Omaha to Green River, Wyo. Here Oooly feel into bad com- pany, He entered upon a wild career of debauch and revelry. Heartsick and di Mra, Cooly determined to leave him at once and ferever. She came to Valley and took wup her abode with friends. Here, for the first time, she heard the story of how her husband t» secure a di- vorce, had befouled her fair name and preferred agalnst hor baseless charges of criminality. Acting on advice, she at once appealed for a divorce, which was granted. Saturday, although the suit hus been pending for well nigh a year and a half. ‘The lady who takes the leading part in this realistic drama is intelligent and re- fined. She has amassed a considerable fortune by careful saving and is now be- youd all neyd of aid. She is determined to listen to no more overtures from the taithless husband. It is understeod that he is now in the east, where he is en- gaged in railroad work. POLICE COURT, The Usual Monday Morning Business Before the Court, In police oourt yesterday there was the usual Monday morning business, con- sisting of drunks, disturhers of the peace, suspicious characters and vagrants, Dag McGuire, who has galned quite a reputation as a enesk thief, was arrested Saturday and charged with being a sus- picious person, Yesterday he pleaded not guilty and his case was continued. George Howard was charged with being a susplelous person. He s an old offend- er, and doubtless one of the worst sneak thieves in this city. Hoe gave the judge long {alk about eome other cases and finally his honor broke in on him with, “Thirty deys on bread and water.” “Hold on,” ssid Howard, “I haven't pleaded yof, and I now plead not guilty and demand & jury trisl. *‘All right,” aid the judge, and continued the case if the jury finds Howard guilty it 1s safe to say that he will get three months in the county jail on short rations. Millard Wilkinson and Frank Gibbs wore charged with vagracy. The former was discharged and the latter was given just two hours in which to skip out of town. He said he had fiof his inheritance and was ready to *‘slope.” John Buhard, for being drunk, was tined 83 and costs, Sunday night Perry Morgan a manwho is reported as haviog several wives, was arreated at the Instance of Aliee Morgan Porry went tothe house of Alice and bogan abusing her and making threats.

Yesterday his case was continued un- ul 4 o'clock in the afternoon, 1t seems that he was once married to the woman who caused bis arrest Sundsynight, and having deserted her she refused to have anything more to do with him, He insis. ted upon her living with him and the dis- turbance ended in his arrest. e e— Frozen Chunks, Yesterday was the coldest day. of the season and those who were out before old “g0l” made hia smiling appearance were kept busy keeping ‘‘Jack Frost' from fj their ears and noses.

His Neck is Instantly _the Fall, Broken by Last evening about a quarter to 6 o'clock, George E. Semler, a shipping clerk employed in the farniture store of Charles Shiverick, Eleventh and Far nam, fell from the fourth to the firat story and was instantly killed. It appears that Samler,in the course of his duties, had been working upon the fourth floor. Shortly before G o'clock, wishing to come down to the first floor, he groped his way in the direction in which he supposed the stairs were. By a strango and fatal mistake ho stepped through the freight hatchway and, of course, fell to the tirst floor, striking the sides of the hatchway, falling upon his neck and shoulders. His neck was broken and he died an instant and pain- lecs death. The calamity was first diecovered by J. J. Dillon, one of the employes, who at once summoned medical assistance. It was too late, however‘ as Semler was be- yond all human aid. Coroner Maul was notified and at once took the body in charge. An inquest has been deemed advisable, and will be held to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock.” Semler was a young married man, about 27 years of age. He leaves a young wife, now a widow by the sad be- reavement, and an infant child. The deceased has been in Omaha since Au- gust, 1883, since which time he has been in the employ of Mr. Shiverick. His father, Mr. E. Semler, who lives in Men- Io, Towa, has been notlfied by telegraph of thesad event, and the body will be held awalting disposition in accordance with his orders. ~ The relatives of Mrs. Semler, in Des Moines, have also been intormed of the terrible Semler w young wife will have, in fullest measure, the deep sympathy of the friends and ac- qunintances of the the family in the ter- rible bereavement which has so suddenly clouded her life. ——— Only two days now to buy your Christ. mas presents at the 99 cent atore. —— WaNntED—To exchange wild or improv- ed lands in Nebraska or Iowa for Hard- ware, or stock of general merchandise.

Facts Concerning the Tragedy, Here- tofore Unpublished, Given Below, The mystery which surrounded the Nance county horror, when first diseov ered, still remalns unsolved, Occasion- ally, however, a bit of new evidence is brought to the surface and a ray of light crosses the pathway of those who have undertaken to thread the darkness en. veloping It. From Mr. Chauncey Wiltse, a gentleman well known In this city, and owar esident ot Fallerton, in Nance county, many facts additional to those heretofore published were obtained last evening. The motive which might have led the murderer dr murderers to commit the crime have been Investigated in all thelr different bearings. Revenge, jealousy, selt-defense, robbery have all been cast to one side. The impression is constantly growing, and in the minds of many has reached conviction that the murder was committed for hire, to obtain the inheritance which by iho Eng- lish law of descent would inevitably have been left to the unfortunate Percival or his heirs, It is now definitely known that this murdered man had an uncle, §a member of the English nobility whose annual income 15 MORE THAN £50,000, Between the nobleman and the mur- dered Percival as next of kin is the lat- tor's eldest brother, a victim of consump- tion and otherwise broken down in health. Who will inherit this uncle’s property in the event of the death of his two nephews is a subject now being investigated but upon which no informa. tion as yet has been obtained.

The engi- in & fow WAYS AND MEANS, As Discussed By the City Councilmen and Officials Liast Night, — A tneeting of the city councilmen and city officlals was held last night to discuss cortain proposed amendments to the city charter. The members of the coun- cll, the elty officers and a fow citizens wero present. Mayor Murphy called the meeting to order. He made a short speech, stating that the object of the meeting was to prepare a set of resolu- tions to be submitted to the logislature, relative to an increase in the salaries of clty oficials. The first point considered was that of raising the salary of the marshal. A number of different opinions were ex- pressed. Councilman Behm thought his salary should be ralsed to £2,000, while Wood- woorth, in a neat speech placed the cor- rect figure at $1,5600. Councilman Has- kell, aftor a little argument, finally agreed to put the fgure at $1500, and a resolutlon was passed to that effect. Mr. Hascall made a motion that the meeting be declared in favor of having the salaries of members of the city coun- cil ralsed to $500. A long discussion followed, and it was finally decided that the city dads must not go hereafter on a smaller salary than $600, It was declared the sente of the meet- ing that the office of city auditor ba cre- ated, with speclal and defined duties. The matter of appointing two police commissioners was next taken up, but finally dropped, as the proposition met crime but also had accessories. Not long ago one of Furnival's shoes was found covered with blood, and brain matter supposed to have issued from Percival's last gun-shot wound. The buttons, buck- les, otc., of his overalls, coat, and other clothing were also discovered where he had burned them to destroy the evidence which otherwise would have been lett ainst him. Only last week his slicker” or RUBBER OVERCOAT WAS FOUND where he left it in the corn-field near Kullerton the day after the murder. This discovery does away with the theory that Furneval did not leave Nance connty by rail as it was known that he wore a “‘slicker” into Fullerton and the manwho boarded the train had none, Another important piece of evidenca has been lald bare by the discovery of a card near where Baird’s dead body was found. Across the corner of it written by Furneval were the words, *I will stay hero until to-morrow and see what my chances are.” What their import was is not definitely known but they point to the irresistible concluston of one or more accomplices. Some two weeks ago an Englishman wearing a heavy buffalo coat came to Fallerton and played THE ROLE OF DETECTIVE, He said he had known Furneval and that he was intimate with a girl whose whereabouts could bs learned from a man named Butler, who lived between Fullerton and Central City. He sald if he could see Butler he wonld learn where the girl is and from her find ont where Furneval might be. He was di- rected to his man but has not been seen since. It Is thought he ¢ame to look after Furneval's property and get what information he could in his interest. The detective pretendad to own a farm in one of the southern Nebraska counties, but it s stated upon good authority that such is pot the case. The Edmonson boys and their farm hand, who lived in the immediate vicinity of the murder, and who were suspected, have silently stolen away. About six weeks ago the employe left and since then the brothers have sold their pro- perty and their whereabouts is now known to no one. Another party named Clark, thought to know tooj much about tho murder, is now kept under survellance and his every move guarded to prevent his escape. The theory now is that Baird was first murdered, then Percival's wife, then her husband, and last Mair, Furnival's part- ner, It is now thought that the door to <he sitting room of Percival’s house, WAS BROKEN IN BY HIMSELF, The theory is that coming home from town about 9 p, m, and not finding his wife in the kitchen he broke open the sittingroom door which was locked. In the excitement of tho moment in try- ing to light the lamp scatteaed the con- tents of the match box upon the floor, Seeing his wife lying scuseless upon the floor he took the brandy bottle from the shelf and when he saw she was dead dropped it upon floor and started for the stable. After bringing out his pony into the yard he was shot, the animal running down past Kdmunson's whose reluctant testimony was that they saw a bridled and riderless horse run by their place that night, All the surgeons who exam- ined tne body of the dead woman say that she was not outraged but that she was terribly boaten and gaggoed. Another suspicious clrcumstance Is the fact that the Edmonsons did not hear the give a novel a novel entertainment next Tuesday night, December 30, in the shape of a ecientific and musical enter- tainment combined.

A lady who lived consid- erably beyond them testified to hearing three dlstinct shots on that night and at ahout the hour, it ta thought, when Per- clval came home. The hunt for Furneval is by no means given up. All the avenues by which in. formation might be obtained concerning him are kept open and it s thought to bo only a matter of time when they wil all be brougbt to answer for thelr crimes.

Last night the air was fall of fatalities, and the distressing death of George Semler was followed at an interval of but an hour or o, by a second fatal accident. About half past seven last night, Jobn W, Wiltsee, a yard brake- man employed by the Union Pacific rail- way fell off a box car attached to a moving locomotive. He slipped, it seems, along the icy surface of the car, falllng upon the engine and thence to the ground. He sustalned a’ severe concus- sion of the braln which proved fatal. The wounded man was taken to St. Joseph's hospital, where he was taken charge of by Dr. Galbraith.

The dead man leaves a wife at Lincoln, He was but 25 years of age., He had formerly been connected with the B. & M., but left his position and commenced work for the Unlon Pacific about the middle of this month.

Yesterday morning Judge Dundy gave his instructions to the jury in the ceie- brated Lovejoy case, which for some weeks has been pending in the court. The jury retired at 10:15 and about six hou.s later returnsd with a verdiot against the defendants, finding that the signatures to the bond are genuine and that no changes of appreciable import- ance were nade In the document. Fur- thermore, the name of C. E. Lovejoy, an attesting witness, was a forgery, and though the government had been in- formed of Lovejoy’s direlection, the twenty nine bondsmen are held liable to the government for the sum embezzled by Lovejoy, $12,937 37. Other minor and special findings were made which were against the defennants, with the excep- tion of one which coacedes that defen- dants had endeavored to inform the gov- ernment of the exlsting rotten state of affalrs in Lovejoy’s transactions. Judge Dundy will enter judgement this morn- ing unless some new phase of the matter prezents ltself. The feeling is general among such of the bondsmen as have at- tended the trial that farther measures ought to bo taken to contest the declsian. the signers of the bond, who are not in position to meet with emse the liability which this verdict entatls upon them. — New Port of Entry, Mr. Max Meyer received a telegram at noon yesterday stating that the senate had passed the bill presented by Senator Maaderson making Omaha a port of entry for the immediate transportation of duti- able goods. This was also followed by Assoclated Press dispatches detalling the same matter, The news is recoived by the merchants of Omaha with great satlsfaction, es- peclally by those who are identified with the largest business Interests of the city. The advantages which will accrue from this new important change are manifold. In the firat place all goods conveyed will be transported immedlately without the customary delay. Such goods, under the new regime, will bo transferred directly from the vessel to the bonded sealed car, and wlll be forwarded without delay to Omaha, as the port of entry. This will do away with long and vexatious delays attendant upon the holding of goods in the New York custom house. This will make it possible for the goods to be ap- praised and given into the hands of the proper owners within 24 hours. The bill has now to pi the lower house of representatives before It can be- como & law. The generai hope ls ex- pressed that Nebraska's representatives will see to it that the measure is success- fully pushed. —— When Mark Twain appeared before his Buftalo audience the other evening he scanned them carefully, He then said that he missed many faces that he knew well fourteen or fifteen years ago. “They have gonme,” he added saaly, “gone to the tomb, to the gollows, or tq —the White House, Allof us must go to one or the other of these destinations, :nd il‘l behooves us to be wiseand prepare or all.” o — Mason snd Hamlin orgens at Hosre's, T Do not by uotil you have reen our goods and compared our prices, EDHOLM & ERICKSON, —— Boy candies for the hollds Stephens, Voegele & Dinnlog doril’s old place. » - — e, THE LEADING CARRIAGE FACTORY 1409 and 1411 Dodee St.,{ =i et OmahaNeb G U pJgersy | on applioat lon GERMAN D.
