b LOVE DROVE HIM TO DEATH, Loldier Hensen's Murdersous As- eault and Dramatic Suicide. . HIS FIANCEE HAD JILTED HIM. B “Harry, I'm done for. i Ile Attempts to Shoot Her in & Thir- teenth Street Car and Ends His Borrow By Taking a Dose of Poison. A Soldier Lover Suicides. I'm good for life in the pen.” The speaker was Christopher He handsome young soldier who is a sician at ort Omaha, For some tim has been engaged to a pretty and refin appearing Omaha girl named Eunice Muller and their marriage was to come off on next Wednesday, his twenty-first birthday. This morning he received a letter from her and when with throbbing pulse he opened it he was astounded to find that it contained ONLY A PIECE OF CRAPE From former conversations wi knew that this was symbolic end of their engagement. Ie to the depot, near the fort and took the first dummy for the city. On the train he happened to occupy the same seat with Harry Butler, son of Major Butl of Fort Omaha, who is ‘engaged in the study of law in this city. The two parted at the ‘Webster street depot, young Butler little dreaming of the tragedy that the day was to develop in which Hensen was the principal actor, The young soldier half-crazed started for the home of his late affianced on Thir- teeuth street. Near Thirteenth and Jones he spied her on the street car and he jumped on board. He spoke to her twice but re- ceived no answer. He suddenly turned a white as a sheet and drawing a revolver from his pocket HE ATTENPTED TO 8100, h her he of an rushed His agitation paralyzed his strength and he was unable to pull the trig- er. The persons in the car were orror-stricken and a number of gentle- men present jumped to their feet and wrested the deadly weapon {rom the would-be mur- derer. HY jumped from the car and ran to Harry Butler's oftice, room 22, Ware block. His exclamation on bursting into Harry's oftice was as mentioned above that he was “‘done for and for life in the pen.” He related the facts to young Butler and avpealed to him for help.” The young legal student dressed the soldier in civilians ¢lothes 8o us to save him from arrest and told him he would as a friend go with him und see if he could not effect some settle- ment with THE CAPRICIOUS GIRL, They happened to m “ourteenth and Douglas, and she very willingly prom- ised to do what she could to suppress the facts about the attempted murder in the car She said_also that she was sorry she had broken the news of her change of mind to him in such & cruel manner. However, she ‘would not change her decision in regard to her refusal to become Hensen's wife. The soldier expressed his gratitude for her leniency in not prosecuting him for his mur- derous uct, but was still down-hearted over her refusal to become his wife. On their r's office the soldier was and charged with being the fellow who had attempted to kill the young woman in the car. Butler, however, was too quick witted for the officers and managed to throw them off the track and shield his friend. On reaching Butler's oftice, Hensen threw himself down upon a sofa 1 an adjoi room where it was supposed he was taking nap. Hut a curious choking sound soon brought Butler and another gentleman mnamed Cappinger into that room, They saw from lis blue lips, purple finger nails and | general drowsinoss that o HE HAD TAKEN SOME POIS L On examining his left hand they found in the polm the remnants of a powder. Dr. tts was called and he pronounced it a case ©of poisoning. He applied ipecac and hypo- dermic injections but all to no purpose. . 4 o'clock the young soldier was dead. . his person was found the following letter to young Butler: o THE LETTER.
