GATHERED ABOUT THE CITY, K New Theory Oovcerning the Nance Oounty Horror, THE SYNDICATE SQUABBLE. General Johnston in the rond Notes—A Quarrel Betweon Real tate Men -Court and Police Local, City—Rail- The Fullerton Horror. Itis now nearly two years since the details of the shocking quintuple murder known as the Fullerton, Nance county horror, were published in the BEg. It was in the early part of the winter of 1831 Four adults and one child were found murdered. The perpetrator was and still is unknown, but suspi is firmly settled upon the man who in all probability did the deed, and who for a long time, it was thought had also fallen a victim in the butchery This is the man Furneval, who has not been heard of smce that time. The theory of the erime, held up to the pres ent time, is that Percival, who was the third to fall in the bloody work with his wife, had been gotten out of the way in order to remove the possibility of h : Jaying claim, as heir to immense estata in England. That theory has now fallen to the ground, and anotlier n its place, Itis held by cverybody in the nity of the scene of the ~murder, and bears a plausibility which the other Iacked. 1tmakes its first appearance in the Bek, and was received through Hon- orable John Rush from John Whithey the next neighbor of Furnivai Furneval owned 160 acres in nee county. He was living with a man named Meyor. Kach took turns of a week in attending to the domestic dutie: of their home. In that home we © tain chattels upon which Furneval had given n montgage for $200. The time of the pnyment of this sum was near at hand, and Furneval was anxious: X pecting money from the east to satis! ! He went 1 times to Cent City and Fullerton to sco if the mone had arrived, but only to find that it had not come. This made him nervous and jrksome. He even requested his neigh- bors to inquire for the desired letter for him when he was unable to go to ecither of these towns himself. On the Saturday night before the murder Furneval in- uired of Mr. Gutes if he had brought a etter for him, but was mformed that nothing had arri with his address. The next day, Sunday, was the day upon which Meyer was to commence to tuke charge of the household affairs for the following week. That day, Furneval had spent playing ericket. On his way home I oppedat Gates’ and asked the latte if he had seen Meyer that day, and v told that Meyer had not been around. Although naturally an easy-goi man, aroused it was known that Furne- s possessed of most resentful and feelings. These he begun to show before he left Gates’ place by bitter denunciation of his companion who ne- lected his duty. He then rted for home. Meyer made his appear- ance at Gates’ and ked if Furneval had been seen. He was informed that Furne- val had just left and was in a very angry mood. *Yes,' said Meyer, 1 suppose he'il make 1t warm for me,” and then started for home. Furneval quarrelled, and later, when the former had reti to bed, Furneval shot him through the chin and top of the head. Percival was one of the nearest neigh- bors. Early in the morning a man of his, named Baird, who was a friend of Meyer’s, called to see the latter, while Furneyal was digging a pit to bury him in. Baird discovered the " mur- der and was hastily running to spread the alarm, when Furneval shot him from behind The body was not found for some time, and was, then, supposed to be that of Furneyal. That nmght, Monduy, Percival had just got back from town, and had driven his horses to the barn,where Furneval asked if he had any news for him from town. Percival stated that he had not. Wiere- upon, Furnival who had now become a demon in heart, in search of money to escape, shot Percival as he was carrying his arms full of hay to feed his horses. The murdered man dropped upon the hay he had been holding and never stirred. Furneval then went to the Percival’s house, He knew the latter had a tin box containing $100. He de termined to secure its contents. To do this he killed Mrs. Furneval, who was enceinte at the time, as also her child who was but lifteen months old. He then rifled the box, and with the blood of six human being, as it were, dripping from his hands, made his escape. His tracks have been so effectually covered that he hus not been apprehendea, . Gates' opinion a8 10 ms where- abouts is that he has either already com- itted suicide, or that he has gone on a Burveying expedition to Alaska., Heis rather inclined to the latter theory, in fact is almost certain thut he is up north, ause Furneval several times spoke to bim of going. The one hundred and sixty ac longing to Furneval are now Lt. Gov. Carns, while the mortg: his chattles was purchased City people. BOSLER, I NDANT. A New Question Raised in the Land Syndicate Injunction, Phe injunction suit of Milton Rogers in thesale of the property of the South Omuba Land Syndicate, to restrain the trustees of the same from dispusing of the property in question, came up before Judge,Wakloy yosterday morning, Mest srsCowinjund Pritchett appeared for Rog- ers, .Mr.Woolworth for himself and three and Mr. Thurston for Mr. Bosler, Gen Cowin said that the instruments thay had filed, he thought, would be con- sidered sufficient for what had been asked until something of a denial was filed by the other sido, My. Woolworth said that such denials, | afleeting the statements made by the a tormeys for the petition, had been filed in the morning. Gen. Cowin said that he ~ awarc of the fact and that the ~ asktlie usual time to consider ~ davits, l{. Thurston then stated that he de- ~ pired to have Mr. Bosler made a defend- } twith the others 4 . Pritehett said that the question waw not regarding the sale to Mr. Bosler, but the saic ut this time and for the piece ationed, to anybody. . Thurston saud that the prayer of the petition was that the court could not " manke a decree unless Mr. Bosler were u%ng the defendants, @ court shared this opinion, but was prepared to pass upon the question, a8 10 how Bosler could be introduced .%Inlm the will of the plumntifl, the question of the injunction the rt held that he had read the petition in the (rustees from in any man- terferi * with the property of the and that all he folt disposed to e Was to restrain the trustees from *Raking the salo of the property, or tak- aetion to remove the minority of the To continue the injunction so to prevent the tevstees from caring the property or securing interest on u bomds and other matters rendered ary by the bisiness of the asso would be injurions. , Cowin thought the court's idea on NoW was not would the afli- wonld he yry to the plaintiff, at least until 8 o’clock, which wonid afford time to examine the affidavits filed by the trustees The question of admitting Bosle defendant again came up, Mr. worth and Mr, Thurston holding that he shonld be admitted. Gen. Cowin held that Bosler was not a necessary party nasmuch as the petition prayed to enjoin he trustees from selling the ]vlr.px rty all. The specific allegation of to Bosler, was only proof of the spiracy alleged by the petitioners to ha been formed by four of the trustees, the property for themselves, cause these latter had acted without authority and in the face of the specific requirements of the deed of trust At the close of the discussion General Cowin said, after ail, he thought there would not be much objection to the ad mission of Mr. Bosier « defendant, and the court finally said that he would give the terms of the modified injune- tion this afternooon at 4 o'clock, and at the same time listen to any further argu nts which counsel might desire_to arding the admission of Mr. a defendant morning ~ Mr. Wool- for, the worth, s counsel trustees, filled aflidavits (in the distriet court, controverting in every ma rasa con | terial point the petition of Mr, Roge sotting forth the fraudulent saic of the property in question At 4 o’clock Judge Wakeley decided to modify the injunction as mentior above. 1t was also agreed that Bos should be admitted as o defendant, but that his part of the suit should be re- ferred to the United States distrlet court.

Wednesday evening a lively scene took place in the office of the C. E. Mayne Real Estate & Trust company. Alfred Arnemann, of Paulsen & Co., called upon Mr. Mayne to settle up a little com- mission to which Paulsen & Co. lay claim. It seems that Paulsen & Co. had on their list a piece of property which Mr. Mayne either wanted to buy for himself or sell to another party. It was agreed between Mr. Mayne and the other firm that the commission, which was to amount to §500 would be divided equ: Mayne sold the lot, and called on F sen & Co, and left with them a check for #125 as their share of tie commission. ‘This was not satisfactory, and in the evening, Arnemann called at Mayne's for the remaining $125. Some high words passed between them, during which Mayne tried to convinee Arnemunn that the sale had not brought enough to war- rant the commission claimed,and 1n proof of this referred Arnemann to his books. Arnemann made an insulting allusion to Mayne’s books coupled with other re- marks of an uncomplimeatary nature, when Mayne shied a notarial seal at him and then drew his revolver and aimed But he didnot fire. Some of his men in- terfered and Arnemann left the offi with a sore leg, caused by 1ts being struc| with the scal. DISTRICT COURT. Judge Neville's Doings on the Bench this Mornin, Yesterday morning Judge NeilleZgrant- eda temporary injunction to restrain a tenant of Mr. Zabriskie, in South Omaha, from moving upon or oceupying proper- ty belonging to the latter. The case will be heard on next Monday. He also discharged from tho county jail on & writ of habeas corpus, Michadl Ritchie, the man who has been confined there f sven days back for contempt of court. The contemped charged was assault upon the justice of the peace at the stock yards, while the latter was holding coutt. ‘The grounds upon which the case was brought before Judge Neville was that no warrent had been issued for Ritehie's arvest, and, turther, that imprisonment of twenty days was in excess of the statutory punishment for the offense alleged. Upon the latter of these grounds, the writ was issued; Ritchie having spent more than ten days, the time allowed as punishment of the offense in the county jail. Injured in the Cab, Wednesday a destructive tornado visited the town of Webster on the line of the C. M. & St. P. road, and is described by Mr. A.

Atthe time of its passage over the town mentioned a train on the Milwau- kee road was shu\dinrl at the depot, The snow fence on one side of the track was raised up by the wind and smashed ainst the cars.

Thousands of persons are making investments either for future homes or speculative purposes The Indications all point to a steady rise in real estate for the next three ye at least,and in all probability for the n five years. The ity is growing very rap- idly in populatior and wealth. New business men are secking locations for business houses and for homes. New en- | terprises, both public and private, are | being developed every day. A large | amount of grading, paving, surveymgand | other street improvement work is being | done, viaduets are being built, the eable ear company has begun work, and the | strect car lines are being extended in | every direction. Thus it will be scen that everything is combining to make Omaha a great city, and that now is the time to invest in real estate. Numerous fortunes have already been made in a very short time i Omaha real estate, and the oppor- tunities are just as good to-day, 1if not better, fc afe and profitable invest- ments. All that is nee lu|| is the proper selection of the place to plant your mon A splendid opportunity is about | to be offered to investors and speculators in what has been named ALBRIGHT'S NEX in the immediate vicinity of the South Omaha Stock yards, This property lies half a mile south of the new Stock Ex- change hotel, and joins the 120 acres, gaid to have been purchased by Armour. The Albright Annex gradually the east, and is in every respect beauti- fully located. The tract contain FOUR HUNDRED L( which are to be sold at public auction, on Monday and Tuesday, August 16 and 17. A special free train will leave the Union Pacific depot at 10 o’clock 1n the morning of each day, and will return at7 o'clock in the evening. The famous Musical Union brass band—Julius Meyer, manager, and H. T. Irvine, leader—has been engaged for this occasion. The band will give a_street parade and con- cert from 7 to 10a. m., and will aceom- pany the special train to the auction grounds, where a splendid free lunch will be served. In fact it will be a two days’ picnie. Everything will be done by the management to make this one of the randest and most successful events in the history of Omaha real estate trans. actions. We venture to say that besi the hundreds who will go for the purpos ng lots, there will be hundred I take advantage of this oppor- tunity of attending a free picnic and having an enjoyable tim THE AUCTION SALE s-like man- ner. The terms are one-fifth cash, and the balance in payments of five dollars a month. Eyery lot will be sold, regard- less of cost, to the highest bidder. The managers of this enterprise have not—as is the custom with some reel estate deal- ers—reserved the best portion of the land, but have thrown every lot upon the market. Now, a word or two as to the value of the Albright Annex vroperty. South Omaha Syndicate lots, which were pur- chased last spring at §250 to $300, cannot now be bought for less than $750 to $1,250. This shows a rapid rise in the Syndicate property. The same results will follow in the Albright Annex, be- yond the shadow of a doubt. Thisproper- iy is in the immediate vicinity of the E:\ck \(t.c«nd manufacturing interests of South Omaha, and cannot fail to rise rapidly in value. It is the prediction of some of the best business men in Umaha and Chicago that South Omaha will have 20,000 people in five years. A prominent and success- ful Omaha real estate man, notin any way connected with the Albright Annex, says that the boom isin South Omaka and vieinity, and he thinks these lots will scll as fast as they can be putup. He will probably purchase some of them himself. There has been more money made out of South Omaha real estate investments this year than in any property in Omaha proper or in the suburbs. There is al ready a demand for these lots by part who want to buy at private purchase, bur the management will not s ell a single Jot before the day of the auction. Every= body will be given a fair show, the poor and rich alike. It would be advisable before the du e to call at the offi of W. G. Albright & Co., No. 218 South | Fifteenth street, and examine the maps and plates showing the size and location of the lots in the Albright Annex. —~— MEN OF MUSCLE. The Night Before the Great St, Joseph Fest, Last evening, the Omaha turnverein gave an entertainment in Germania hall, to show what they expected to do at the forthcoming turnfest at St. Joe. Thein- tense heat of the evening prevented many people from attending, as also the carrying out of the program originally intended, The class pri ted an excel- lent appearance and will undoubtedly make a favorable impression when it ap- pears at St Joe.

To the kditor; As yow gencrally act impartially, and wantjustice done to all, irrespective of race orcolor or previous condition of servitude or politics, I would like to know about an order issued by Marshal Cummings, about |two months ago in regard to clearing the streets and sidewalks of business signs of all deseriptions; trunks, barber poles, ete. Let us see how this law has been enforced by our city fathers and our noble guardiars of the peace. They notified all shoemakers, cobblers, and barbers, men who were just barely making a living, to remove everything from the sidewalk that showed 3 sign of their business, so that a passer by would not mistrust ‘that any kind of business was carried on at that place, so that all they have to do is to walk up to the court hapise and pay thoir taxe Now, that L have presented the poor man's side of this question, let us look at the other, and see how inequaily _this law is enforced. Sloan & Johnson have 877 barrels of salt tieved up, three or four barrels high, on the sidowalk, cornur Tenth and Farnam, and forty-three bar- rels of syrup. Peycke Bros, have seven- teen barrels of vinegar on Tenth street, barrels, hoxes, crates, watermelons, ban nanas, ete, on Farnam street. James MeVittie, corner Eleventh and Farnam, has barrels of salt, chicken roops, empty boxes, empty barrels, one old 1ce-box,one old mattress, Leo, Fried & Co. have a lot of barbed fence wire in front of va- cant lots, 1100-1111 Harney street. Grat- ton & Drummond, Harn treet, near “ourteenth, have eight earriages on the idewalk, some marked for sale. Andrew Murphy, opposite, has_six carriages on the sidewalk, three of them with new unt drying. D. M. Steele & Co., on Chirteenth and Harney, have 173 barrels of salt, and nine barrcls of vinegar on the sidewalk. Garneau’s Cracker com- pany have lard, salt, syrup, ete.; Omaha Jornice works, 310 South Tweifth street, h, cornicy ored on the sidewalk; Western Cornic works, cornices stored on sidewalk; D. Fitz- patrick, southeast corner Twelfth and Howard has general storage of steam boilers, earthen_tile crates, old iron, ete. only a few of the many cnses t could mention to show the injustice of this ordinance, or, atleast the way it is enforced by our marshal and bis subor- dinates, The only real object that I can see, so far, is to remove the beer kegs from the’ sidewalks so that strangers could not tell that our policeman was going into n and then to make 7 ers and cobblers take o in that_they would not mus- trust the police. Now. y are going idew: rce, why not ser 1 alike not try to injure poor men's the rich men make a display of thousands of doliars® worth of their goods on the side- walks of the principal thoroughfares of our city and are not molested while ous _police are skirmishing around the by-streets and s s after poor men who are trying to waké an honest living. 1CE. TREATIES. also THE INDIA An Important Question. Brought up by a Law-Suit. DA decision wasreccived yesterday trom Judge Brower of the United States circuit court of this district eonocerning an jm- portnt suit recently commenced against the commissioners of Dakota county by the C,, St. P., M. & O. road: The case is espeeially mteresting because it revives memorics of treaties made thirty or forty years ago with the noble red nicn of the tory of Nebraska. Away bacl the fifties, the ment entered into a treaty with tl nebago nation, whereby the Indians agreed to live peaceably on the re : tion several miles squire to be made for them in the northwestern part of the state. The reservation was accordingly marked out, with the understanding that it was to be forever exempt from all state taxation for purposes of revenue. A fow years ago, the Sioux City and Nebraska railrond, duly incorporated under the laws of this state purchased from the chiefs or head men of the Winnebago nation a right of way about venteen miles long and two-hun- | feet wide. Later on this line was purchased by th M., St. P. &0, rond. The commissioners’ of Da- kota county, in which the reservation i located, have charged up against the lat- ter road, several thousand dollars of s, on'that portion of their line which runs through the reservation. The rail- road peoplo elaim that this is illegal be- cause the treaty between the United States and Indians expressly stated that the reservations should be free from taxation of every kind. The rond has consequently refused to pay these taxcs, and some time ago commenced a suit in the United States court to prevent the Dako county commissioners from seiziny engines and rolling stock in sati of said elaim. The defendants demurred to the petition on the ground thut the Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Paul & Omaha rond hud, by the pu of a_linc in Nebraska, become a_domiestic corpora- tion, and’ was therefore not entitled to sue 1n the United States court. The de- cision of Judge Brewer referred to above overrules this point; the defendants are ordered to file their answer within: sixty days. FROM THE FRONTIER.
