Hunsucker Contributes a Stranger. A tall, slender shabbily dressed man, with a seraggy growth of beard upon his face through which the breezes have been soughing for at least a month, and carry- ing a bamboo walking stick in one hand and a dark linen auster in the other, dropped in at Fred Hunsucker’s saloon, 412 South Thirteenth street Wednesday afternoon, in much apparent haste. Une would have thought from the stranger’s nervous impetuosity, that he was on his way to the stock exchange with a big tip. In a sort of superior condescending way he asked: “Will you ]vlsnsu allow me to lay my top-coat in here a short time until 1 run up to the Union Pacific lu-'ul«!um ters and see about some freight cars?y Hunsucker replied that he wasn't run- ning a check room, but that he might fake his coat in the back room and leave it, if he was a mind to, hedid not want 1t hanging in the saloon. Thoe stranger stepped in the back room as directed, remaining thers a moment or 50; but emerging minus the coat, In the course of an hour the shabby gen- teel business man returned, walked through the saloon, remarking that Im d take his coat, and stepping into the back room, came forth again with the gar- ment, as Hunsucker naturally supposed, upon his arm. He floated out and nothing more was thought of the episode by Hunsucker ur til he came to close up at 12 o'clock, when he himself stepped into the afore- saud back room to get his own coat; a nice, new, light gray cutaway, which he had hung up there in the u(uruuuu as is his custom these incinderating days. It may be imagined Mr. Hunsucker in- dulged in a choice lot of vxpletives, some of them much choicer than elegant, when he discovered that his bran new_ Benny had flown, and in its stead, hanging like [y tln;_ at half mast, wus the shabby gen- teel’s old faded duster, Mr. Hunsucker was mad, of course, and went home in his shirt sleeves. This morning he came down to the station and reported the case to Chief Seavey, and wants the man who stole his coat looked up if it costs more than his whole ward- robe is worth. In the pocket of the coat Hunsucker lost was his Savings bank deposit book and his check book on the First Na- tional, containing several checks, payment of which, however, stopped. Mr, Ris to the has been BRUTE. A Hard ’lnnflle With Beater. Yesterday morning word was sent to the police station that a man was attempting to kill a woman at the corner of Twen tieth aud Pierce streets, Officer Gilhgan on Thirteenth street was informed of U matter by Ofliper Ormsby, while the pa trol was out on another eall. When the latter returned Oflicer Ormsby rode to scene, Jim O'Brien, the driver, making the run in about four minufes, the best run ever made by the wagon. At the street 1n question a crowd of people were found, among them a brutish-lookivg a Woman man with heavy beard and red face, whom the orowd secemed to desire to treat to bodily castigation, His victim was soon found, a _petite handsome wo- man who diwlnynd a large contusion on the back and front of her neck where the brute had caught _her 1n his vise like grip. How she %ol away from him, seems a mystery ccause he is one of the most powerfil men the police hnve handled in many a uny The woman's name is Mrs. Schlenk, and she tells the story that Jensen en- tered her house and ¥emundcd beer. She toid him she had no beer, and he immed- iately seized her with wicked in- tent when she succeeded in ef- fecting her escape. Officer Gilli- gan arrived on the scene about the same time as the wagon, and Jensen was put into the patrol. As he landed on the floor he turned and harrowly missed kicking Officer Giiligan on the head. Botb the oflicers then bestowed attention upon him, which was kept up until the wuagon landed 1n the station, because during the ride he made frantie efforts to bite, scratch, bruise and escape from the officers, The Striking Painters. From present indications, it would ap- pear that the strike among the painters will erclong die a natural death. Out of the 300 men who struck there are only about fifty remaining in the city who are outof employment. ‘‘Yousee,” said Mr. Holden,the strikers’ representa- tive to n BEE reporter, ‘‘'some of our men have left the city, and a great number are at work 1n l{v union shops or doing contracting work on their own account. For the most part the latter han not much money to start in with, but we have been helping themout, Iam'still negotinting with the master painters for a scttlement, and will event- ually succeed, I tnink A grand basket picnie and excursion to Calhoun will be given on Sunday next for the benetit of the strikers.

The committees in charge have labored earnestly for its success, and the splendid programme they have pre- pared will be appreciated by all. In order to sce that no disturbances of any nature shall occur, the committee has arranged for a large number of repre- sentative citizens to tuke charge of the grounds and see that the best of order is preserved. From present indications the aflair will be a huge success, and at- tended by hundreds of Omahans. The musical programme is 1 itself a credit to the management, and all who attend can count on a good time, Cheap excursion to Boston. Tickets rood for three months. Address R.

Bez zecha, the German who came 8o near turning the trick, now says that he had three accomplices, that they did all the vlanning, and that he was but a tool in their hands. However, Bezezecha isn't as big a fool as he looks, and is fully capable of managing just as stupendous a fraud all by himsolf.

The danger of playing with firearms was evidenced at the United States sa- loon, South Omaha, when Mrs, Kunzel, wife of the proprietor, after getting into a playful souflle with James Formanek, her brother-in-law, about the possession of some money, picked up a revolver, and, pomting it at_Formanek's head. pulled the trigger. She was considera- fhorrmad to see her brother-in-law 1 to the ground, apparently dead. Dr, l.rnhauz was immediately ealled in, and found that a 32-calibre bull had entered at the side of Formanck’s neck and lodged unaer the skin at the back. The wound was pronounced serious, though not necessarily fatal. Jumped the Track. The Union Pacific company were put to considerable inconvenience last even- ing in the moving of therr trains, in con- sequence of engine No. 1156 and three cars having left the track on Fourteenth street.

JULY 16.. 1887, FOR PARENTS. The axe has fallen among our Boys’ and Childrens’ Clothing and is making havoc with the prices of some of them. Those who visited us during the past season must have noticed that since the enlargement ot our store, we carried in this line a muchlarger stock than formerly. Naturally, of such a big assortment, we have more left, especially of the better grades, and we are determined to close them all out before the opening of our new juvenile department, which next season will be on the second floor of our building. A large line of Boys’ and Chil« drens’ suits of all sizes—some very fine goods and elegantly made—also alot of knee pants and long pants are marked down to one-half their value. EXTRA. A manufacturer who heard that we are doing a large business, and thought that we could dispose of most any quantity of goods, sent ug last week a big lot of strived summer coats—Mens' and Boys'—with instructions to sell them for his account. We did not want to accept them, as the lot is too large and the season late, and told him so, but he wired us to dispose of them at any price we pleased, so we have dee cided to mark them 15¢ APIECE, It is almost giving themaway, bul it is not our loss. They are new patterns and all sizes. All goods marked in plain figures and at strictlv one price at Nebraska Glothing Gompany Cor. Douglas and 14th sts., Omaha.
