STERLING P. ROUNDS' ESTATE. 0. H. Rothacker Pays His Respects to Administrator Smith. THE LATTER IS ROUND WANTING. A Talk With Ole Olson's Slayer—Aspir- ing Pythians Who Desire a Com« petitive Drill — Powell Again in Jail. Rothacker's Complaint. Ottomar H. Rothacker, administrator, vs. Charles H.' Smith, administrator, is the title of a petition for partition and division of part of the estate of the late Sterling P. Rounds. filed with the county court yesterday. The document, after reciting the fact of Mrs, Mamie Rounds Rothacker's death, states that the principal heirs are 0. H. Rothacker, widower, Watterson Rounds and u“u“iu Dustin'_Rothacker, minor children of the deceased and plaintiff, That on the 15th of February, 1858, plaintiff ‘was appointed special administrator of the estate and qualified as same. Petitioner fur- thershows that Mamie Rounds Rothacker at the time of her death was heir at law of Sterling P. Rounds, who died intestate. It appears that C. H. Smith was duly appointed gencral administrator of said estate, and that the heirs at law in fact of said_Sterling P. Rounds are: Martha Rounds, widow, Mrs. Kittie Smith, Sterling P. Rounds, jr.. (k‘nr;{(‘ Taylor l{nulllln Wat- terson R. Rothacker and Douglas D. ' Roth- acker, children of Mamie Rounds lim.hnckcr, deceased. That a large part of the personal property of the estate of the late Sterling P. Rounds consisted of ninety shares of stock in the Omsha Republican company and an abun- dance of other personal Droperty. That Ie titioner is, under law of dis- trlhuunn. entitled lo Dllc -sixth part aforesaid shares stock. Tho roflllon further sets larth that plain- tiff believes that Charles H. Smith, if per- mitted, will use said shares of stock for his own exclusive benefit and against the in- terests of the heirs of the deccased Mamie Rounds Rothacker, That it is the firm belief of the petitioner that it is the deliberate purpose of said defendant to wreck the property of the Republican com- ny to the detriment and damage of the eirs of each estate. That defendant has called a meeting of the stock holders for February A% for the purpose of using said stock ‘voting same in his own interests and_to con- tinue himself in ofice. That plaintiff knows that defendant intends.to vote himself a sal- ary of £,000 per year when $1,000 would be an exorbitant price for his services. That ~ defendant is wholly and totally jncompetent to control an important news- gnp\sr and i an unsafe man to be left in con- rol of said stock and voting the same. That defendant is conspiring to enrich himself at the expense of those who have placed bim in a position of trust, hal pln(ntm believes that defendant has . H. Ballou certain rropertv be- lannlnF to the estate of S. P. Rou nds, for n stock of the Omaha Republican cowm- pany and taken said stock in his own name 1o further personal interests, Petitioner prays that defendant be cited to appear in court and show cause why parti- tion should not be granted. MAMIE ROTHACKER'S WILL. Right on th els of Mr. Rothacker's com- _plaint, Mrs. Rounds, accompanied by her attorney and a lady friend, appeared in court and were conducted to the private office of Judge Shields, when Mrs. Rounds formally. submitted the will of her deceased daughter for probate. ,The will bequeathsto O. H. Rothacker $100 in lieu of any right of cour- tesy and the balance of her estate to her two children and r;(iuesu that Mrs. Rounds be appointed guardian. Mrs. Rounds also ap- . plies for the appointment, i conjunction with C. H. 1th, as adninistratrix of Mrs. Rothacker's children. s —.— OLSON'S MURI)I&RER. Young Fex‘nmn Seems Indifferent Regarding His Crime. Ferguson, the negro who killed Ole Olson ‘Wednesday night was seen by a BEE reporter yesterday. He was found reclining on the ‘bench in cell No. 1, contentedly pulling away at the butt of a vile cigar. He had entirely recovered from his debauch of the previous night and deported himself in the most in- different and nonchalant manner imaginable. Heis nothing but a boy, only past fifteen years of age, but the marks of unbridled dissipation and vice are stamped indelibly; upon his ebony countenance. His forehead is low, his eyes small and sinister, nose flat and lips thick and pro- truding, and everything about him indicates ® character vindictive and depraved. And such is his reputation, although he, himself, claims to be as peaceful and harmless as a lamb. After some considerable coaxing the scribe induced him to tell hus story, which ran substantially as follows: My name is Willie Ferguson. teen years o‘ agg the 18th of last January. My mother lives in Atchisoh, Kan., on the corner of Fargo and Ninth streets. We came 1rom Kentucky right after the war. We ‘were wves. 1 have a sister living in Dm!hl, Mrs. Hattie Ewing. She lives on Twelfth, between Chi and Davenport streets. I don’t know the man they say 1 lmed. Ne\er BAW mm. Joe Holmes is the kid I Yes, he is older, bigger, ln'onnr lnd meaner than 1 am. He's had it in for me for about three weeks. One night lnwnth' since I was playin, i pool with him in Cole’s saloon on_ Tenth street. I won every cent he had. He then wanted me to ve him money to get something to eat with, refused, and he swore he'd dome. He'sa bad nigger and carries a razor. Last night about 10 o'clock I went into Barn agin- nis’ place, corner Fourteenth and ge to al.:{.g-mac 1. This nigger Holmelhpor- ng‘nxem renued to let me ){ ing that they dldn 't allow coons to play there. He tried to take the cue from me. wouldn t let him, then he smashed me in the face—you can see for yourself where he hit—and ‘began to kick me about the room. I got out. T was awful drunk, but I made up my mind 1o geteven. I went to a room over Dr. Wor- ley's Turkish bath establishment and got a Sprinfleld rifle I knew was kept there. I slept inthe hall there, and had seen the gun. I found it loaded 'and, hurrying back to Ma- innis’, 1 stepped up on the steps, opened he door, poked the gun injgand fired. I was drunk, but saw Holmes among a crowd of other men. Of course he was the man I aimed at. Iam sorry I killed the other fellow. I then ran back to the room over the bath rooms, threw the gun upon the bed and waited for the cops. They soon came and brought me here. That's the whole story. “If you uré charged with murder in the flrn do‘fm what will you plead, guilty or 1" was the query. “ ot rullly. of course; I intended to get Holmes, and of course it 'is not murder when T kill another man." “‘How does it come you were so drunk last night" ““Why, you see I had written to my mother at Alohilon that I was sick in bed, and she sent me §25, and I was out blowin’ myself.” On being searched last night the following Jetter, which the boy had probably just written, was found on Vs person: Omaha, Feb. 11th, 1888, —M\ Dear Mother in tooken the Pen in hand to wright you a Fiew Lines to let you no iam well and doing well and hoping when theso Fiew lines reech Il tlw{‘ will Find you the same i am work- e turkish bath house geting three do lars & wek mother wait till spring an wo wil be hapy. No more at prezen, . good your bluveit son Willie Ferguson 1419 Dodge I was fif- Ere!hn!nnry hearing has been set for 10 30 this morning, THE INQUEST. An inquest was held yesterday afteynoon at the council chamber, Coroner Drexel having empannelled the followi ing K'ny :G.F, Brucker, J. Menter, Genrge George Ketchum, Frank Newell, Gwm Heilman. The remains were viewed at the coroner's offl o Thu witnesses examined were Joe Holwes, Dr. Rebert, Sam Montgomery, James Adams, Charles Heller, Alf Smith, ames Kennedy, Ed_ Hoffmun aud the two policemen who made the arrest, Officers - White and Haze. The testimony of the witnesses agreed thro-‘hout and the jury rendered a verdict that “‘Said Ole Olson came to bymmlohvun-hotwo\mdflml by one William Ferguson.” Attorney Sim- eral then flied an information against the priconer for murder in the first degree. At- torney Alexander Green, who undertakes the defense of Ferguson, says that according to the statutes of the state all that can be made out of the case is manslaughter, as the killing of Olson was purely accidental, Holmes being the man fired at. A number of attorneys agree with Green on this point. Among other attorneys consulted on this score was General John C. Cowin, who when asked if Green was right in his umrtlon, re- plied : “‘Manslaughter! If that is manslaughter, I ‘would iike to know what murder is!" A case somewhat similar to this of Fergu- son's, is that of Daniel Driscoll, the chief ol the Whyo gang who was hung last week in Nc'w York for killing his mistress, while ying in wait for one McCarty whom he in- lcl led to kill and for whom he mistook his ladylove. The judge held that the shot was a murderous one and that Driscoll ought to hang for it. The superior endorsed this de- cision and Driscoll was hung, The outcome of the trial of Ferguson will be looked forward to with considerable in- terest. If the prisoner chould be hung, it will be the first execution that has taken in Omaba for twenty-two years, — BENCH AND BAR. District Court.

The petitioners allege that Mrs, Curry fraudulently represented to the court that there were no other relatives interested and that she was the sole heir to the property. Plaintiffs further aliege that since her ap- pointment she has made no report and has disposed of over $7,000 belonging to the es tate. Plaintiffs concluded by stating that Mrs. Curry is an illiterate and very ignorant woman and is entirely unqualified to manage the estate. CLEMENTIA'S DESIRE.

She not only refused to do any thing of the kind, but charged Hamberger ~with attempting to blackmail her. When the case came up the complainant failed to appear and has not since been seen in town, The defendant, Miss King, who was discharged, docs not propose, however, to let any imputation of ry rest upon her, and wiil at the first oppomlnny bring Hamberger into court. . Ham- e A Caucasian-Mongolian Mix. Maud Bell Colbert, the white spouse of a Chinaman named Lee Gueng Bang, had an- other Mongolian named Be George Layer ar- rested on the charge of threat- ening to kill. Layer is a well-educated and intelligent Chinaman and tells a hard tale about Maud Hell. Among other things he cinims that she married Lee Gueng because she thought he was rich. Upon discovering her mistake she wanted to elope with Be George, and because he refused she has taken umbrage. Yesterday she wrote him a very insulting letter and when he went to her to demand an explanation she commenced cursing him, and as he reciprocated, she kicked him down stairs and swore out a war- rant for his arrest, Andy Borden Heard From. A BEe reporter was reliably informed yes- terday that Andy Borden, who disappeared 80 suddenly from this city some months ago, had written to a relative in this city stating he was in the eastern part of the country liv- ing with his wife, and that he had an_excel- lent job, The relative is an old, well known citizen and his word in this instance is not doubted. This story does way with many of the theories which were advanced when Mr. Borden disappeared. — Turned Out of Jail. James Snodderly, who has been in the county jail for some months suspected with haying set fire to a building in South Omaha, and Charles Anderson, charged with hitting a man with & brick, were yesterday given their freedom, their prosecutors failing to appear against them to substantiate the charges. i ] sWant the Eight-Hour Day. Mr. Lee Frost, a prominent member of the Bricklayers' union, said to a Bee reporter yesterday that the claun that the men wanted 8450 for eight hours' work was wrong. They simply wanted eight hours' work at 50 cents per hour. The main reason for this demand is that many more men could be employed. —— German Ladies' Entertainment, The ladies belonging to the German School association are to give a grand dramatic en- tertainment at Boyd’s opera house on the uvenlnx of Monday, February 20th. The lay is entitled "l)lu Zaertlichen Verwanten.” ll.’hts proceeds are to be devoted to the Ber fund for the benefit of Misses Royce and Woebecke, The Danish Church. The First Danish Baptist church of Om# 1a have let the comtract for the erection of .a handsome church house which will be com- pleted as soon as possible.” This ¢hurch has ™ \ery prosperous since its organization. INJURIOUS TO OMAHA. The Cut Rate of Little Advantage to Jobber and Consumer. Yesterday a Bre reporter took a walk among the jobbing and other business houscs of this city to ascertain in what manner the the owners were affected by the cut in the rates between Chicago, this place and points beyond. The general impression was that the cut was injurious to trade, and that as between this city and Chicago it resulted in a discrimination in favor of the latter and against this city by many cents. This was not the case immediately after the first cut, when the discrimination seemed to be the other way. Now, hewever, it was possible for western points to order goods from Chi- cago and at rates greatly below what the same with railroad charges could be secured in Omaha, With Grand Island as an exam- ple, goods could now_be shipped from Chi- cago to that point at 67} cents for first-class, 88 for second class, 50 third, 8815 fourth, anc 84 fifth, whereas the rate frnm Omaha to Grand Island for the same classes was as tollows; 54, 48, 42, 40 and 34 cents. From Chicago to Omaha the rates for the classes above enumerated are 3734, 26, 18, 15 ana 1 ‘h added to those already given as ob. tiiining between this city and Grand Island make the sum ' of the locals, i the several classes S1lg, 73, 60, 55y and 47 cents, a discrimination against Omaha, according to class, of 14, 5, 10, and 13 cents, Notwithstanding this discri ination, as also that eastern jobbers are flooding the country with circulars offering seductive rates, wholesale and retail dealers are not ordering very heavily, at loast more than is required by the volume of their trade. They are holding back because they expect lower cuts and feel thata ten-days’ notification is required before a raise can be restored, they will have plenty of time to order all the goods they wunt. Two railroad men told the reporter that their companies were now carrying no more freight between Chicago than they had hauled before the ates. One of - these said, knew one Omaha merchant ) loaded and on the track, Chicago, waiting until the roads an- nounced @ return to higher rates, when he intended to ship them, knowing that after the notification no lower rates cbuld be secured. ““These cuts, however, do us no good,” said a citizen this morning. “The coal dealer enjoys the benefit, but the consumer doesn’t. 1 bought some conl yesterday xmd ald rab—b19 par ton for ity and et & coal sells in Hastings for .lI\.N and Lincoln for §11 per ton.” MORTUARY. AN ESCORT OF ELKS. Yesterday the remains of R. A. Fos- ter, a well-known member of the waukee lodgre of Elks, passed through this city their way to the formerhome of the deceased. Mr. Foster died in Denver a few days ago and his remains were accompanied from that place by a committee of that lodge of thut city. Onthe arrival of the tra in this gity the remains and escort were met by a committee of the home lodge of Klks c ing of Messrs. Babcock, Nash, Presto enport and Haynes who accom party to the Council Bluffs t ULRICH GUSSAN. Coroner Drexel held an inquest at Millard over the remains of the above nanied man, who was found frozen to death. The verdict was that the deceased had come. to his death from freczing while under the influence of liqu NICTIOLAS, The funeral of this young man who died in St. Joseph's hospital ‘Wednesday, will take pluce on Suturday next from ' Barrett & cafey's, time being given for the arrival of friends from Custer county.

A young man named John Schultze, while painting on the Odd Fellows’ hall on Saunders street Jate Wednesday afternoon, fella dis- tance of over seventecn feet, striking on Lis head and shoulders. His collar-bone and two or three ribs were broken.. e was knocked senseless and was taken to St. Joseph's hos- pital, where he_died yesterday morning. He was an unmarried man and lived at 1411 Har- ney strcet.

He had a fit about a year ago while on a scaffold painting and fell, per- manently crippling his left foot. He then de- cided to quit painting, but forced to do some thing to get a little money, finally com- menced work again yesterday, when the fatal accident happened that put an'end to his la- bors. et CRAWFORD MUST SURRENDER.
