Oharley Davis fhot by the Man Whose Ser- vice He Left. in A YOUNG FORGER GETS IN HIS WORK. Bome of the Blunders of Election That May Prove of service in Case of an Alliance Contest— Odas and Ends, Lixcory, Neb., Nov. 15,—(Special to Tre Bre.)—A rather strange shooting affray is reported from Denton precinct, on the farm of E. B. Slawson, eight miles southwest of the city. The story as told is to the effect | that James Pert, a neighbor to Slawson, was riding past the latter's place at a swift gallop when a dog rushed out after him. After Pert rode a short distauce past Slawson’s house, he whipped out a revolver and shot, he claims, at the dog. Mr. Slawson and a ten-year-old boy named Charley Davis were near the dog, and the bullet, instead of striking the cur, passed turough the left lung of the boy, piercing the breast above the nipple. After passing clear through the body of the boy, the bullet struck Mr, Slawson's coat, making a hole through it. The boy, as soon as shot, dropped to_the ground and bled frightfully. ‘When Pert saw the disastrous effects of his shot e immediately came to Lincoln for assistance, The bullet is of 43-calibre, ana took a portion of the boy’s clothing through the wound. It is thought that the wound is serious, The boy formerly worked for Pert, but left hiw, it is said, on account of 1ll treat- ment. This makes the neighbors talk. A YOUNG FORGER, Yesterday afternoon a well dressed young “man called at Betts & Weaver’s coalyard and sald that he was just married and wished to lay in sowe fuel for the winter, He orvdered a quantity of fuel to be delivered at a house at. Eleventh ana C streets, His nome, he said, William Smith, and he was helping Jones, Douglas & Co., the wholesale cracker men, run their business. The ym'llln.ln fig- ured up that Smith’s bill was ‘§1 M Smith dia not bave that amount of him, bat would acheck of the firm’s right. The yard man thought it would, and ‘when Mr. Smith presented a chock drawn in his favor by Jones, Douglas &Co., and au- thorizing the Nebraska Commercial bank to pay £20 thereon, he was given a receipt for the coal and §7.10 in change, He was very particular that they send 1t up this morning, and departed with the look of a man who had Gone s duty well. When the yardmaster turned in the check Iast evening” Mr. Betts thought there was something wrong about the matter and this morning telophoned to Jones, Douglas & Co, Prior to this, however, the coal and wood had been sent out to Eleventh and C streets, but no one of that name could be found. M. Betts asked of the cracker fac- tory where Mr. Smith worked. They did not know of any ‘Mr. Smith: nooneof that name worked for them. They swere then asked if they had given Willlam Smith a check on the Nebraska Commercial bank. They had not and furthermore their banking place was the First national. Soon after- wards Mr. Jones was shown the check and he prenounced it o forgery, Smith had en- dorsed the check, but that is in a different handwriting from the one on the face of the iece of paper. Betts & Weaver still have heir coal and wood, but the yard man would like nothing better than an interview with the evanescent William Smith, It was learned later that the same young man had gone to the yard of Hutchins & Hyatt, conl dealers, and ordered two tons of hard coal sent to Eleventh and C streets, Here he also presented a check for $0, but this one purported to be signed by H.P. Davis & Co, plumbers, All the change he receivod here was §1.20, and from there he ‘went directly to Betts & Weaver, AN ELECTION BLUNDER, State Treasurer Hill is justly ludignant Kelley, Stger 0o’ POSITIVE BARGAINS IN COLORED DRESY GOODY 54-inch check ed cloth suitings 60c Regular 85c quality.

The Continuance of His Game of Bluffin This City Will Proba- bly be Undertaken by His Progeny. The famous Helfenstein cases, which have been on trial in the United States court for several days, came to a sudden stop yes- terday when Judge Covell, attorney for the plaintiff, read a telegram to the court an- nouncing that Johrt P, Helfenstein, the plain- tiff, had died after an iliness of several years, at7:30 o’clock Friday nightat his home at ‘Webster Grove, a suburb of St. Louis, Mo. This news caused a murmur of surprise among both lawyers and spectators,and after a few moments of consultation with the at- torneys for both sides Judge Dundy announc- ed that the case would be set aside tempor- arily until other arrangements could be made, Judge Young of St. Louis, who has been here as one of the attorneys for the piantiff, was seen and stated that Mr. Helfenstein had one son and five daughters who would prob- ably be hus devisees, but as he was unaware whether or not the deceased left o will, he would not say what the respectiv of these pacties might be. The son, John P, Helfenstein,jr., is unmarried and lives in St. Louis, the daughters are Mrs, J. W. Slaughter, Mrs. N. D. Thompson, Mrs, M. Simonds and Miss Helfenstein, all of St. Louis, and Mrs, Willium M. Bell of Deny: During an informal discussion of the mat- ter, after court had adjourned, the attorneys for the plaintiff expressed a desire to push the matter as rapidly @s possible and stated that, if the deceased had left a will and it had’ been probated without contest, they would substitute the heirs or executors of the estate as plaintiffs in the several cases, provided this arrangement was agreed to by the defendants. The attorneys for the defendants an- nounced a willingness to consent to this method of procedure, and if this be done the cases will be taken up again in about two weeks and pushed to' a finish. If this rangement cannot be made, on account ul any complication regarding the disposition of the Helfenstein estate, or for any other rea- son, the cases will undoubtedly go over until another term. Judge Young stated, that he would return to St. Lowsat once and confer with the de- visees or heirs as to the steps to be taken in the matter, He also stated that Mr. Helfen stein’s wife had died during the present ye and this fact had no dpubt had an influence upon the health of his Iate client. Mr. Helfenstein was born in Maryland, of Germay parents, and had been in tne mercan- tile business in T.ouis for & great many years, Of late, however, he had lived a re- }lmd life, having given up his business at- s, ‘Weather Probabilities.
