Mr. Townsend, the first to reach the house after the shooting, testificd that he was ashortdistance from the house when he heard the report of tho revolver. In a minute or two Wilcox rushed out exclaiming “I shot my wife, come quick!” Witness ran to the house, and found Mrs. Wilcox lyving on her back oo the bed with a pillow under her head, with a covering over her as though she nad been sleeping, She had a dress on and an under-garment. There was a rent three or four inches long iu the dress, and not so long in the under-garment. Both dress and under-garment were badly powder-burnt and blackened. Wileox threw himself down by the bed and implored his wife to spealk, She moved but slightly, and was dead in a short time. There was a wound as of a bul- let just over her heart. Dr. Shore, the coroner, and Dr. Eisaman, who examined and probed the wound, testified that the ball struck just the heart, about two inches, passing downward, en- tering the upper part of the heart. Mr. Blinco, a_gunsmith living just across the road from Mr. Wilcox, said he sold Wil- cox u revolver about four days beforethe shooting occurred. On the morning of the shooting Wilcox brought the revolver to his shop and said it did not work right. Blinco examined it and found nothing the matter with it, and told him it was all right. Wilcox took it and the cartridges and went out. Mrs. Blinco heard the shot about ten minutes after Wilcox left the shop, as stated by her husband. Mr. D. W. Jones corroborated tho statement of Townsend. The trial will probably continue all of this weelk. Fires at Lincoln, LixcovLs, Neb, Dec. 14.—[Special Tele- gram to T Bee. |—Between 3 and 4 o’clock this afternoon the handsome suburban res dence of Mr. J. C. Williams, aud the two residences that adjoined him on the north, were discovered to be on fire, It occurred during the absence of the family, but hard work enabled the neighbors to save every- thg of value on the first floor. Before the arrival of the engines, however, the flames engulfed the entire building aud the sharp south wind drove the fire into the buildings on the north, and dispite the valient efforts of the firemen, they too were soon doomed. The great streams of water thrown upon the burning buildings scemed to have no effect. ‘The houschold effects of the gentlemen who lived on the north of the Williams’ residence, however, were saved, but every timber of the buildings was burned to ashes. The loss is estimated at $12,000, Two of the uesi- dences were among the finest in that part of the city, the other was a small story-and-a- half building, The origin of the fire is un- known. The firemen bardly siad time to turn around before the fire alarm was agamn turned on apd another ruu was made, the ras works having been discovered to be on re. The winds were driving the flames rapidly through all parts of the main building, and when the engines urrived thoy had made such headway that it seemed an impossibllity to save ireat dunger fol- lowed the firemen in their efforts, The chances were against saviug any portion of the works. If the fire should penetrate the walls of the cast wing of the building or reach the retorts or reservoir, several lives hung in tho balance. An excited throng bung around the burning building, The suspense was great. An explosion was talked of and expected by many, but tho steady stream of water and brave work of the fite brigado prevented a greater catas- trophe, but the main building was ruined, The engines and machinery, however, es- caped injury., The fire was caused by the bursting of the oil pump. just over the en- gine. The loss is fully 10,000, At times it med that the water supply would fail to meet the dewand, He Was Playing Possum.

This agroement remained 1 force until® December 1, and was faithtully ob- served by all the parties thereto, But there was a leak somewhere. Saloons were closed, druggiste had ceased to sell, “‘temporanc billiard halls” wore interdicted, and yet some men wovld persist in casting shame on the prohibition law by getting as drunk as they had ever done before the enactment of the first prohibitory statute. “This secret work was quiet but effective, and it sot several classes of people to think- ing, and among these were the druggists, At a meeting Leld in this city Wednesday, the obligation was dissolved, and a number of the druggists have circulated their peti- tions with & view to applying for permits at the next (January) term of court, It is & fact rarvely disputed by busi- ness men that where liquor sold their trade is likely to grow in volume, 80 that 1f liquor is sold in Black Hawk county, the equilibrium of county trade can be preserved only by liquor selling in contiguous counties, This reactionary move is spreading, and before many months the dread of the new law will have been lost to a large degroe. 1t is an open secret that dozens of thriv- ing towns encour: the sale of intoxi- cating liquors with the intention of attract- ing trade, These however, are 1n nearly lur'!
