WAS SHOT AT THE HEN HOUSE The Bos Discovers Where One of the Joneses Died. BULLET HOLES IN THE WALLS Made by Shots Fired After a Flesing Victim Who Was Followed from the Direction of the Pinney Cottage. An Important Discovery. A Brer man was accompanied to the Pinnoy@ farm yesterday by County Ageut Mahoney, The farm was found to be in charge of Albin Willison, a farmer of about 60 years of age but full of life and in- telligence, e has a companion a boy about thirteen years old numed Harry Doty. Mr. Willison formeriy resided in Council Bluffs where live also two of his sons William and McClelland, These with the father have rented the farm from Dr. Pinney, taking care of the property and stock and receiving {n Foturh two-thirds of the products of the and. Mr, Willison, the boy, Mr. Mahoney and the writer walked over the yard, oxamined the barns, searched hay stacks, in fact looked everywhere in_hove of finding o concealed weapon. Hut it was like looking for the traditional needle, No deadly weapon could be found, The party then made a search for bullet holes in the trees and outhouses, and finally made a discovery which shows beyond a question that tho murder was committed with a revolver, and that one of the victims must have been shot when he or she was running away and was endeayoring o get behind the hennery for protection. Theso facts are substantiated by the find~ fng of three bullet holes in the east wall of that out-house, none of which are higher above the ground than would be the shoulders of either Mr. or Mrs. Jones. The bullets which made these holes must have been No. 38, and conld have gone through the body of tho victim before leaving their neffaceable marks upon the little buildice. The mur- derer could not have been far from his victim when the shots were fired, yet a short distarce must have intervened between tho party pursied and the hennery, because of tho slightly enlarged opening ut the place the bullet entered the wood. Tho course taken by the bullets shows that thiey were fired from the direction of tho house. That they did their work effectuatiy i8 not to be doubted.and that they wege fired by a skilled band i equally certain, Hecause a'straight line drawn between the two end holes would not equal the width ot the back of either of the murdered people. Between the lowest and highest shot there is a dis tance of a couple of feet, but even that would be within the height of & man of even averago stature, ‘The hennery is situated southwest of the Pinney cottage, From the southwest end of the latter it 18 just forty.one feet distant, The distance from the south end of the front poreh is sixty fect, The honnery is an un- painted frame structure about 10x8 feet in dimensions, und_has not been occupied by fowl for some time. Interiorly the floor is covercd with excrement, in which, beyond o doubt, one or possibly more of the bullets may yot bo found. Time did not permit the examination necessary for the discovery. Oue of the bullets struck the fourth board from the north end on the eastsidooi the house, 4 feet 8 inches above the grounds another struck the fifth board 4 feet § inches above the ground, and the third struck the sixth board only 3 feet above the ground. None of these boards exceed six inches in width, All these bullets passed through the boards, crossed the interior of the house and str the west wall. One of them ‘struck the tenth board from the north four feet six inches above from the ground, other the eleventh boara, four feet scv incnes above the ground, and the third struck an upright scantiinj about four feot ten inches above the ground, One of theso bullets passed through the west wall, the other two lodred there ana it is thought dropped to the floor where tnoy were lost in the shoveling to which that part was subjected, and where they may yet bo found. The fact that the bullets struck the west wall at a more southerly pownt than they did where they entered shows conclusively that they were fired from the direction of the cottage. If the victim fell at the hennery which he or she did, no nearer place of concealment could have been selected to hide the erime than the places in which the murdered ones were founc ‘Tne Beeis m possession of the boards above described and wiil gladly place them in charge of the county attorney 1f he should desire them, New Dovelopments. Yestorday a BEE man revisitad the Pin- ney farm to witness the examination of the well 1n the premises, in which 1t was thought the murderer oc murderers of Mr. and Mrs. Allan Jones might have concealed the @enpon with which the horrible crime was eommitted. The examination was mado by a couple of experts under the supervision of Chief De- tective Haze, Tho well is 120 foat in depth. A bucket containing a lighted candlo was lowered to tho water. The candle burned brillinntly, and being thus assurod that thero was uo dunger to bo apprebended from gases, one of the well diggers desconded, There were three feet and eight inches ot water in the weil, and this wus of slimy, dirty character, It was all romoved, how-~ over, by the diligent uso of a couple of large buckets. ‘“hen the mud was scraped from tho bottom and raised to tho surface. There were several fuches taken out. It was of adark gray color. 13utn it were found uno traces of a weapon of any kind, This discovery estab- lishes the fact that so far as the well is con- corned it contains none of the secrets of the terriblo crime. As soon as this fact was established tho well-diggers and Oficer Hazo returned to the city. P A weak back, with u weary aching lame- ness over the hips, 1s & sign of diseased kid- noys.

The Union Pacific has finally commenced work on the construction of its new machine shops at Denver. A glanco at the plans shows much more extensive contemplated improvements than anyone supposed, though with recent ncquirements nearly 1,000 miles of the system centers there, waich naturally demands a larger amount of repairing to be done at that point, All the building are to bo constructed of brick. The round-house will bave fifty stalls and a turn- tavle sixty-three feet long. The main shops are to bo 125x226 with an annex 61x71, in which will be located the ergine, Loiler, dynamo and_tool rooms. Still an- other building, 95x275 and two stories Ligh, will be used for u car shop: another, 5H0x250, for a paint shop, while freight car repairing will be carried o in yet another of the same dimensions. There comes in addition to all these buildings a store house 45x226 and an oil house 27x8, ‘The contracts for construct- ing coal chutes, roundhouse, sand house and ash pits have been let and that portion of the work is now under way, What Kimball Thinks of 1t, The interstate comwmerce commissioners will probiably not reach Omaha before Sun- day or Monday. They were in Chicago Wednesday, but before arriving here propose visiting Des Moines and Sioux City. T. L. Kimball, third vice president of the Union Pacific, was asked yesterday what action his corporation wpuld take to defend itself before the commission against the com- plaints that are expected to be filed by the state board of transportation, In reply he saud: I amnclined to think those charges contamn contradictory, irrelevant and absurd statements enough to answer themselves. furtnermore, I don’'t understand that the law contemplates such proccedings as aro proposed without the railroads having some sort of notification, and 8o far as I know we have had no notice, It is my understanding that these commissioners aro out under Senator Paddock’s long and short huul resolution, simply beuring what peopie have to sny—-giving the kickers a chance to get in their work.' The Vinduct and Depot Plans. The viaduct plans are so far completed thiat a contractor can commenea the work of construction any day. Mattars aro waiting now for the city council to pass an ordinance which has already gono through firsy and second readings, authorizing the depot com- vany to close ‘Tenth strect and get to busi- ness, Van Brunt & Howe, the architects, are putting in all their time on the remod- cled depot plans and will have them done 1n o few duys. As the result of Mr. Howe's recout visit to all the fine union depots in the cast Mr. Doran, the suporiutendent en- gineor of construction, says this will be the finest in the country.

Schultz was arrested about ten doys ago in Columbus, On the 17th of February ho was seen driving to the depot in that city. Ou his wagon he had a large trunk, and in- asmuch as his wife was not seon after that aate ho was suspected of killing her and putting the corpse in tho trunk. A search warrant was wssued aud his house, barn and premises were thoroughly searched, but no clue to the missing woman could be found. He clmmed alltho time that his wife had come to Omabha on a visit. The Omaha police were asked to locate her, but could not. Yestor- day ovening a reporter learned that Ms, Schultz was alive, healthy and about to cou- meunce work as a domestic in the family of Moritz Meyer, at 2104 Douglas street, Schultz tells of some sensational ex periences, A few nights after his wife had disappeared a mob of half a dozen men came 10 his howo after midnight and threatened to Iyuch nim. He frigitoned tho gang away by firing several pistol shots at them through s door. Fle says some person attempred t poisou both himself and his stock by putting some sort of a mixture in his well. From the effect of drinking the water Schultz was taken deathly sick, and was only rescued by the uso of a stomach pump. One of his cows was also affected by drinking the water, % Schultz can assign no reason why his wife should leave him, He says that she has overy cony ence ut home and all the won she asks for, Schultz s in the poultry busi ness and owns considerable property both in Columbus and Norfolk. Mrs, Schultz has an uncle, J, L. Whit taker, and a nicce, Miss Mury Kerka, living in this city. Schultz ived in Crete, Neb., for some time. When Mrs. Scuultz left Columbus she had several huodred doliars and some valuable jewelry, Schultz wants his wife to either return home with him or else sign over deeds to all his property. Mrs, Schutlz was to have gone to work in Mr, Moritz Meyer's family as a dou tie today. When sho heard that her husbana was here looking for her she told her niece that sho would not reman in Omahs, bus would stare for gohemia at once.

A SAD ACCIDENT. Kittie, an eight-year-old daughter of Will- iam Wenzel, who resides in North Lincoln, met with an aceident just before o'clock this morning that will probably cost the littio girl her life. In company with several other children she started to school at tho usual hour, and on reaching the Ninth street railway crossing uudertook to cross in front of a rapidly approaching train. — She suc- cessfully accomplished this perilous under- taking, but unfortunately ran into a plung- ing team that bad become frightened at the pufiing engine. This startled her and she sprang back, only to be caught by an engine which had just started on the side track. The drive-rod struck Kittio squarely in the forehead, cutting a frightful gash and throwing her backward to the ground.

Of all the many attractions that visit Omaha none recelve & friendlier welcome than this ono. Its coming is always looked upon s au ex- traordinary event, socially as woll as artis cally, in the amusement line. ‘Chat fact is due chiefly to an established reputation Mr. Rehan enjoys for bringing an organization composed strictly of first-class talent and presonting plays made successful at Augus- tin Daly's theater i New York before being sent upon the road. This time he offers that deliciously funny adaptation from the French named above, and a more thoroughly enjoyable porformance could hardly bo imagined. The comedy abounds in bright, witty dialogue, humorous lines, avsurdly amusing situations and original complications. No bétter evidenco of tho appreciation felt by an_sudienco over the worl of & company could be given than the hearty laughter and almost_continuous ap- plause prevailing throughout the three acts of last night's entertainment. The cast was strong, evenly balanced, harmontous in its treatment of the several characters, and kept the interest at a high tension from the boginning. As there isno star, surrounded by an indifferent, weak 'lot of ama- tourish sticks, it 13 impossible to speak of one without referrimg to all. However, thore are members ncver beforo seen here, and quite new in the pro- fession, who deserve special mention. For instance, Miss Edith Crane is having her first season’s experience as a professional artist, consequently she must bo accorded the distinetion of possessing superior ability as well as grace and beauty to hold tno position of leading lady 1n such a combina- tion. Mr. Burr McIntosh, also a stranger to Omaha peopic, made himself qmte popu- lar. He is a pleasing sotor ana is well liked. Miss Adele Waters, Mrs. Carrio Jamison, Miss Nellio Wright, Frank Jamison, Harry Halto, and Clarence Heritage are already too well known to require further intro- duction or additional _ praises. Any respectable comedy in their hands wouid have to be a go. ‘They put hife, vigor and enthusiasm into their efforts, throw their souls upon the actioa, and bring out every point just as it should be brought out. The same can be said of Miss Crane and Mr. Mc- Tntosh. All in all, “Lottory of Love proved to bo as enjoyable an entertainment as any that has been witnessed in Omaha this sea- son. ——— Holt County t'armers’ Alliance. O'NE1LL, Neb., March 13.--[Special to Tur BEE. | —At the regular meeting of the Holt county farmers’ alliance held in this city, tho report of the committee on constitution was read and adopted as follows: Whereas, The general condition of our country imperatively demands unity of ac- tion on the part of the luboring classes, re- formation in economy, and the principles best, calculated to encourage and foster agri- cultural aod mercantile pursuits, encourag. ing the toiling masses, leading them in the road to prosverity, and providing a just and fair renumeration for labor, a just exchange of our commodities, and the best means of 8e. curine to tho laboring clusses the greatest amount of good; we hold to the principle that all monopolies are dangorous to the best interest of our country, tendingto enslave afree people, we therefore adopt the fol- lowing as our declaration of principles: 1.
