They promptly took upon themselves the care of their follow traveler and the guarantee of all oxpenses and at his death paid the last sad rites in a befitting mauner. This prompt action of the Lincoln council is especially commendable, as tho deceased traveler was not a member of their organization. The above shameful and unteard of treat- ment of an employe by a professealy roputa: ble wholesalo firm, whose unbounded conti- dence they confess he had merited, during a term of ten years' faithful and coutinuous service, was 5o unsnimously condemued by all traveling men to whom the facts became known, that a mass moeeting was called im- mediately upon adjournment of lasy week's Lincoln coutcil seasion, at which a commit- toe having in charge the correspondenco with this firm and tho burial of their repro- sentative, reported.

Owens, a veteran of six acore years, ligured as the leading man, Owens was a wealthy man with soveral grown up daughters, who were bitterly op- posed to the match and who used every effort to frustrate the marriage. ‘The giddy old boy, however, succeeded in eluding the vigilance of his danghters and with the woman of his second choice fled to Missouri where they were married. Tho public gen- erally predicted that the match was an un- fortunate one and the public was right, for Owens commenced suit for divoreo Soon afterwards, His wifo has fought his suit bitterly and the whole case terminated lato this afterncon by giving Mrs. Owen an_ab- solute divorco on tho grounds of extremo crueity She was also awarded a cash ali- mony of §,000 in lieu of all dower rignt, and all personal property now in her possession.

Afterwards Judge Hilton be- came involved in financial embarrassments and the land was sold under orders from the district court, Lord Jones being the pur- chaser, Judge Hilton then, through his at- torneys, attacked the validity of the order of the court to sell the property, and the case has been fought step by step until it has at last reached the highest judicial tribunal in the land.

DexvEr, Colo., Dec. 15.—R. 8. Worrell, jr., was called to the stand this morning. He said he notified Mrs Conrad of the deatn of her mother, Mrs. Barnaby. He gave con- gestion of the lungs as the cause of death, Mr. Worrell statea that he was in tho real estate business and loaned money. He knew Mrs, Barnaby had about §100,000 and she had talked about” mvesting some or most of this amount in Denver, *‘Had I haa this amount to Invest, of course I would have received a fair commission for hanaling it.” He ad- mitted that he had frequently written his mother while she was on the trip to Califor- ma_ with Mrs. Baroaby, but he had let the package, supposed tohave contained whiskey, remain in the postofice from March 31 to April 1 because he did not know ber definite address, and after his mother returned home ho let the package remain in the postoftice a weels because ho did not know how long Mrs. Barnaby would remuin at the coast. After Mrs. Barnaby died he retained two lawyers to take charge of tho case, but claimed that he did so upon the wnstructions of Mrs. Bar- naby’s daughter, Mrs. Conrad. Mr, Worrell then repeated the oft-told story about Mrs, Barnaby being dissatisfied’ with Dr. Graves os her business wanager, and changing her will 50 as to leave him $25,000 instead of #50,000. Mr. Worrell declarod thut when the cause of Mrs. Barnaby’s death was first being discussed he did not know that he or any of bis family was suspected of complicity in the crime. He moditiad this statemeut somowhat whon & unewspaper was produced which contained an interview with him on this very subject. Mrs. Worrell, jr., was rocalied, and tosti- fled that after the fatal packago had beon brought home from tho livery stable, where it had remained all night in the buggy, that 1t was placed on the dining room table, where it remained for a aay before the women drank from it. “Tho prosecution will use this as a point to show that the Worreils did not know the countents, for if they had, they would not have placed it there where any or.o could bave drunk of it. Mrs. Worrell also corrected a statement made by their servant girl to the effect that, aftor Mrs, Barnaby's death, she had been ordered to empty aud cleanse all the bottles o the house. The girl was ordered to clean oue and pour into it some tonio from a larger bottle which Mrs, Worrell wanted to take with ber oo her journey. Adjourned. L Settlea a Feud.

Dr. Berwiok May Dis as a Rosult of the Lake Tragedy, BURIAL OF THE DEAD CHILD-WIFE, Laid to Rest Beside Her Babe—Fur- ther Developments in the Uase —Condition of the Suffors ing Doctor. The funeral exercises over the remains of Rosa Lake, the child-wife of William Lake, occurred at 10 a. m, yesterday at the Chri tian church. A small funeral cortege, com- posed of griel-stricken relatives and symnpa- thizing friends, followed the body to Laurel Hill cemetery, wheve it was buried by the side of her iafant. What is to be done about the case is not yet koown positively. Dr. Berwick, who made tha autopsy, is dangerously ill from blood poisoning, contracted while making tho post mortem examination of the vod Dr. Simpson, he says, sent him word yesterday that he demanded an immediato tion of the matter and that the affair must come speedily to anend. Dr. Berwick said: **You bet this thing is pretty near to an end for him, The investigation is alrcady made and I huv> the proofs of malpractic What does the man mean by sending such a message to me, when he knows that I am prostrate with blood poisoning " Dr. Glaseow, who assisted Dr. Simpson, declares that the delivery was easy and that c. Simpson did everything right from a ical standpoint at the time of the birth. In reply to this Dr. Berwick savs: “Who is this Glasgow? Ho is o postmaster. What was ho before! A barber. Now you know why he would make such statements, when the autopsy reveals the fact the very oppo- sito of what he savs is the case. Don’t tuke my word for it, but ask either Dr. Kelly, or Dr. James Kelly dent Marsh, Let any phy pute look at those = parts in alcohol over yonder and those fluids in tho boitles there and see of they don't tell the same talo. You bet I can back svery statement mad Dr. Thomas Kelly was seen. He was very conservative in his remarks, but_ said that from the portion of tho body ho had exam- ined that ho would say that Mrs. Lake's death was due either to ignorance or neglect. The doctor avoided saying anything further in regard to the work of Dr. Simpson, except to cite authorities to show that the lacera- tivns should have beon attended to immed- jutely. Dr. Berwick’s arm is still in a davgerous couditior. on account of the poisonous sub- stances from the body being absorbed into a cut on his finger. “At 5:30 p. m. ho was seized with acute pains, al it was believed for several minutes that he was dving, He thought himself that his last bour had come. Mr. Collins secured a carriage and took the doctor from his bed in the rear part of his oftice to his (Collins’) home on Twenty-fifth street, wiiere he would receive botter care. He sufferered no inconvenience from tho removal. Drs. Thomas and James Kelly are in attendance and they hope through the internal use of ‘quinine” and antiseptics and hot external applications to save Dr. Ber- wick’s lifo. Lute last evening the pains of the doctor were iess acute and his symptoms favorable, In case he recovers sufiiciently Dr. Bor- wick intends leaving Saturday for a short crip to Milwaulkes hi Thomas or Stu- ian of re- Two Bud Guls, Vera Noel and May Norton, tivo not unat- tractive girls of about 17, were arrested for the fourth time on the charge of being deter- mined to be bad. They had gotten out of jail only last Saturday and Vera solemnly prom- ised ber mother that sho would be good henceforth. She claims that she has kept hor promise, but tho fact that sho and May were czught with dissolute fellows in a wirie room caused the polico judge to doubt the story. He therefore gave them each thirty davs in the county jail as a lesson. The judge aaded that in'case Vera wished to send for her mother ana would go_ home with her and behave herself, and 1f May would write to her mother and return homo with her, he would remit the seutence. Both girls, however, refused to do this, and they went to jail, stock Yards Directors.

SHOT . AT SHELBY. Landiord Bonguet Remonstrates Vios tently with an Ex-Boarder. George Shelby, a Union Pacific fireman, had a rather exciting oxperience Thursday night. He was arrested with George Garlick for complicity in the theft of a lot of clothes from J. W. Bouquet's boarding house on South Thirteenth street, but was discharged at the preliminary examination, He weut to Bouquet's house that night and demanded his trunk, Lut Bouquet demurred, and when Shelby iusisted the landlord pulled a 3S-cali- ber revolver and turned itloose. A bullet tore through the collar of Shelby's coat, and the range was so close that his chin was pep- pored with the burnt powd This event so marred the plonsures of the occasion that Shelby soda atterward took his departure. No complaint has been filed against Bouquet, and it is probable that none will be. Ho was in court yesterday, how- ever, but was for the purpose of filing another complaint against Gdrlick. It sccms that when tho first complaint was filed Bouquet neglected to sign_it. and tho preliminary procecdings were had and Gar- lick was bour.d over without this cssential step being taien, and oven now the informa- tion remnius unsigned.

What an Ardent Moutanian Says of the Great Minint Camps. Colonel H. H. Horst, a prominent mining man of Butte, Mont., is in the city domicilea at the Puxton. He is here with some ores for the Omaba smelter. The coloncl says there is much prosperity in the greatest mining camp in the world. Sinco the Ana- conda mines and smelters have resumod fous the 10,000 idle men who wers walking the streets last summer are all at work. g “Within the next five vears,” said the col- onel, “Butte will have a population of 100,000. It is not only the greatest mining camp in the world, but the greatest industrial center, with more mouey and: prosperity tian any city on earth. [Vs a wonder; a whirlwind of bustle day and night. New mines are being daveloped, and people tho past few months have been asteundod, The oue great problem to be solved, and which is a black cye to tho town, is the smelter smoke which settles so densely over the city that it is a terrble nuisanceé and very detrimental to health, as 1t contains arsenical and sulphur- ous poisons that people are obliged to in- hale. Stops are being taken, however, to try and abate it by scienlitic processes.” e of Mes, Max Meyer. The obsequies of the late Mrs. Max Meyer oceurred yesterday afteraoon, beginning at 1 oclock, at the family residenco, corner of Har- ney and Twenty-fourth streets. The remains reposed 1n & rich casket’ in the east parlor, and the room was redolent of the beautiful blossoms in'scores of-eluborate floral pieces, the last sweet tributes of loving friends.
