NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS Inquest in the Bank Tragedy Brings Out a tartling Hypothesis, HUNTINGTON DID NOT KILL HIMSELF Evidenco Tends to the Theory that Bullet that Plerced His Brain Came from Another Than the Re- volver He Used the The principal theme of conversation about town yesterday was Sunday's tragedy. Hay- den and Cromwell, the wounded representa tives of the bond company, were seen their rooms in the Grand hotel, and found to be resting as easily as could be expected. Both were willing to admit that they had had a view of the pearly wanted at this stage of the 3 and congratulated themse the fact that they still alive. Cromwell sat propped up In bed nursing his three bullet nd talked freely cf the affair, and Hayden talked as freely as he could through an immovable neck. They both insisted that they had accused Huntington, and did not of anything crooked. If they had not found the discrepancies in the ac count gave of his transaction Saturday night meeting Sunday morning would not held, and the tragedy would The $500 check had been Huntington’s book, but it was manifest that something had been scratched out. When asked about this, Huntington sald he found a blot on his book and erased it, writing in the amount again. He did not think the item was originally in his handwriting, but admitted that all of the ries on both sides cf it were. Both the wounded men the questions they asked Huntington were no more searching than those propounded to all the other emplc of the bank. They also say that President mundson took Huntington's part from the at as close they game on were never now, he the have been entered upon | first. HOW THE BODY WAS FOUND. Drs. H. B. Jennings, H. L. Janney and C. Bower made a post mortem examination ton during the forenoon, and at the inquest, which was held at Estep's un- dertaking rooms in the afternoon, the results of their investigation were given in a some- what startling manner. The jury com- sed of W. H. Robinson, P. C. DeVol, and H. Odell. E. C. Brown was the first examined. He said he was one of the first men to enter the room after the fatal shot was fired. He found Huntington lying on the floor, with his feet toward the door, apparently dead, the revolver lying by his feet and about two feet from the docr He saw no powder marks on his face or head Mr. Edmundson sald: “When the inspectors and Huntington met they asked him how much money he took with him on his trip to New York, and he said about $35 cr $40. His attention was called to the fact that the check which he said he had drawn on_the bauk in favor of his brother in N:ew York had never been presented for payment. The inspectors did not accuse him, and everything seemed to be passing off_smoothly. He was asked where he got the $70 that he deposited after he returned from New York, and he replied that he borrowed it. They asked him of whom he borrowed it, and he sald he had forgotten. They led up to th> same question in different ways time and again, with the same result. When they asked him where he got the money to pay back the loan, he ri- plied that it was none of their business. Cromwell flared up somewhat at this, and said that these questions were proper ones, whereupon Huntington replled “warmly that he didn’t propose to be bluffed. Sharp talk was made on both sides, but it was all over in a few seconds, and John and the inspector both became quiet again.” His story of the shooting has already been published. Finley Burke appeared as a rep- resentative of the Huntingion famlily, and drew from Mr. Edmundson the statement that John's habits had always been good. He never drank, smoked or gambled, and he never lost anything entrusted to him. It is possible that the loss In this Instance might have been due to the misplacement of the check, but he did not think it could have come about through a mistake of book- keeping. If the check had been taken by Huntington it was no gain to him, and only caused the bank some trouble. WHAT THE DOCTORS FOUND. Dr. Janney told that on making the post mortem it was found that the bullet had entered his head just above the right ear, followed the curve of the forehead on the inside of the skull, dropped down, and lodged in front of the left ear, cracking the bone clear around. Only a very few powder marks were noticed, just at the edge in front of and above the wound. Mr. Burke proceeded throughout his questioning on the theory that Huntington had met his death by a pistol shot fired by some one else than himself. In reply to his question of whether a 41 caliber gun would leave pow- der marks when fired at a distance of five feet, he said he did not Know. Dr. Macrae described the location of Crom- well's and Hayden's wounds, and called at- tention to the strange fact that although all the bullets were supposed to have been fired from the same gun, the one taken from Huntington’s head was noticably smaller than those found in the other two men, All, however, were considerably bat- tered up, and he thought this might result from a chipping off when the bullet struck the skull. If the revolver had been held close to his head when fired, there would have been a ring of powder about the wound. But it Huntington held the revolver it would have struck the ground almost before he began to fall, and might be thrown some distance by the force of his arm unbending. T. C. Dawson, who was-In the barber shop bencath the bank, said that he heard several shcts fired, and then, after a lapse of about ten seconds heard one more. J. J. Shea's story was about the same, Cashier ¢ R. Hannan testified that it was customary for his gun, which was usually carried by the messengers when they carried large amounts of cash, to carry one empty shell for the hammer to rest upon, but the one belonging to Spooner, which was usually left in the bank, was kept loaded with full shells all around. He bore testimony to the dead man’s good character, Dr. Bower, one of the physiclans who as- sisted the coroner in holding the autopsy, was called to testify as to the nature of the wound. The examination showed that the ball had entered the head at the suture in the right temple and had followed the frontal bone, fracturing it all the way to the left temple, where it lodged beneath the eye. The frac- ture was complete enough to permit the skull being lifted off. The bullet had made a furrow nearly an Inch deep through the brain, and had driven a spl'nter of bone down to the base of the brain. Questioned as to powder marks around the wound, he said there were but six or eight grains visible, and none were found in the tissues of the brain matter. They might, however, have been carried away by the flow of blood and brain matter. An- swer ng a hypothetical question, he sald that a revolver fired four or five fect away could have deposited powder grains In the flesh around tho wound. ABOUT THE WEAPON USED. Mr. Edmundson was recalled and asked con- cerning his statement to The Bee yesterday, that according to & time honored o the bank the hammers of the revolvers rested upon an empty shell. He sald he bad made the statement and that he thought was the practice. G. F. Spooner, paying teller, testified that he believed the revolver had contained its full complement of six loaded shells. There were no other shells in the bank, and the weapon had been sent out to be loaded. He had taken it apart, but bad never taken out the shells, but felt sure they were all loaded. A. C. Graham was called as an expert witness to examine the revelver. The & slon had been prolonged until it was getting dark and the light was furnished by a small lamp, which was too dim to permit a careful examination. He felt pretty sure from what he could see that only five of the cartridges bad been recently fired. This was Indicated by the fact that the marks of the firing Ppin on five of them were bright and fresh, while the other seemed dull. Five of the chambers in the cylinder appeared to be freshly coated with powder smoke, while the | lives US| from this city | In the cornfield. one did not.

Clty Council Will Indulge Its Liking for Mectings Unce More. . The city council met last evening with Mayor Cleaver in the chair and Aldermen Brewick, Gleason, Grahl, Keller, Nicholson, Rishton, Spetman and White present. The ordinance vac ting Seve. th strect was brought up, but on motion it was laid over until next meeting. This was done on tho suggestion of Alderman Keller, who sa'd that In view of the fact that so much had been said about this matter, he thought it best that the coun- il try to find some middle ground between tho railway company and the citizens, by a viaduct scheme or something of the sort, so that everybody might be satisfled. The Union avenue ordinance met a like fate, all the aldermen excepting Keller and Rishton voting for a postponement, although they nearly all placed themselves on record as favoring some sort of an ordinance granting the Omaha Bride and Terminal company a right of way on the avenue. The contract and bond of E. A. Wickham for paving Second avenue were approved. The council then adjourned until Wednesday night. s e ‘Tremendous Drop in the Price of Coats.

Lee Forman was to have had a trial in the district court yesterday on the charge of burglarizing a store on lower Broadway, but he failed to appear at the time set, and his bond, which had been signed by P. Wind, was declared by the court to be forfeited. Shortly afterward, however, Forman entered the court room and announced that he had decided to plead guilty, inasmuch as he had been found in the building at 2 o'clock in the morning without any excuse for being there. He was sent to the county jail for keeping until time for receiving sentence, and it is probable that the order forfeiting his bond will be expunged from the recards. In the afterncon Judge Smith heard evi- dence in the case of Mary A. Hansen against Hans Hansen. Both parties live in’ Neola, and have been trying to get rid of matrimenial ties for several years past. Four times, however, just when the long coveted liberty seemed about to be attained, one or the other of the parties would come to the conclusion that they could not live apurt, and the case ‘would come to a sudden stop. Now Hansen comes in and swears that he has no money and no property, that his wite is the moneyed member of the firm, and lie wants a judgment for temporary alimony s0 that he may have funds with which to fight his wite's application for a divorce. Mre. Hansen was put upon the stand and ques- tioned as to her property. “How about that farm of yours, Mrs, Han- asked John Lindt. “Is there anything nst it in the way of an incumbrance?"” ““Yes, sir,”” was her response, “there’s ten childer aginst it.” The case was taken under advisement, Bouriclus’ music house bas few expenses; bigh grade plancs are sold reasonably. 116 Stutsman street.

Lee, a native of China, graduate of ‘Yale, secre- tary and interpreter of the Chinese minister at Washinglon during President Cleveland's first administration, has just returned from his native land. He says words cannot ex- press the blundering and stupidity of China during the war, which he predicts will not cease until the Japanese army marches into Peking this winter or at the latest next spring. By that time he says China will be completely vanquished. He ascribes China's defeat to the corruptness of the officials, who have stolen millions of dollars and to the fact that Japanese young men educated abroad are given positions of trust, whereas China will not give a chance to native youtks educated abroad. i BANK FAILURE IN MISSOURL Citizens Stock Bank of Slater Makes an Assignment.

Jones, editor of the Minneapolis Horesman, Minneapolis, Minn.; John C. Chadwick, Mr. DeWolf, Waukegan, 11.; H. J. Kline, cditor of the Horse Review; A. W. McElroy, J. L. Me- Carthy, Palmer M. Clark, Frank S. Gorton, George W. West and Judge James Culbert- son. Hefner on the stand testified that for a number of years he had been engaged in the | importation of horses from Europe and had also shipped several head of trotters to Ger- many. It was in making purchases for an- other shipment abroad that he met Kneebs and arranged with him to take a number of horses in the latter's string to Europe, where they were to be entered in the races and afterwards sold, the agreement being that all over a certain sum received was to go to Hefner as well as share of the money won at the races. The evidence tended to show that from the first Kneebs failed to act on the square with his partner and broke the | agreement at every opportunity. Hefner con- tinued to advance muney for expenses until they arrived in Germany, where another flagrant violation of contract by Kneebs pro- voked Hefner to severing the partnership be- | tween them and, in revenge for Kneebs' dis- honesty, Hefner made disclosures which finally resylted in the arrest of Kneebs and the confiscation of Bethel. The testimony through- out was anything but creditable to either Hefner or Kneebs, and disclosed a well laid plan to defraud the various trotting associa- tions at which their Norses were entered. Hefner admitted that he had a ‘“ringer’ amopg his own horses, and was not averse to winning morey In that way. It was fur- ther ghown that the owner of Lord Byron, a Mr. Augustus Shafpe of Louisville, Ky., had a very pleasant arrangement with Kneebs, which enabled them to play the pools In a very happy manner, greatly to the profit of both. Nat Brown, a prominent and reputable horseman of this city, was called to the stand to_testify that he had visited Kneebs' farm at Wakefield, Neb., and had been shown a mare purported to be Bethel, but which he was positive was not her, and therefore retused fo make afidavit, as requested by one Shaw, to the effect that it was Bethel. Thomas N. Cullen stated that he visited Wakefleld to investigate, and had been di- rected thence to Elk Point, 8. D., where the are Bethel was sald to be. He had been shown a mare which they called Bethel, but which he was positive was not her. An affidavit was read from Charles Allmon citing the same facts. From this and other informa- tion now in possession of Secretary Steiner | it would seem that there is evidence sufficient to secure the conviction of Kneebs. A con- census of the testimony heard shows a deep 1aid plan to defraud, and one which, but for the falling out of .the principals, would have succeeded. Hefner was undoubtedly the chief conspirator, but Kneebs was the man they trapped. Ryland T, while unquestionably a magnifi- cent plece of trotting horseflesh, is wofully unlucky. He added another defeat to his long string on Saturday last, when he was beaten at Dallas, Tex., by Joe Patchen in three straight heats, in 2:12%, 2:16 and 2:09. Denver always manages to Keep in the front rank, and if it was not for her unfavor- able geographical location would certainly be one of the liveliest cities in the country. They are to have a big horse show next month, and the prospects are good for a grand success. Omaha business men will meet at the Com- mercial club rooms again Tuesday evening and make a final effort toward securing the state fair and a mile track and race assocla- tion for this dity. While elther the state fair or a firet class race assoclation would be of almost incalculable benefit to the Gate City, there is no denying the fact that the two in conjunction with each other would be an inestimably better thing. There s not a live business man in the city who will not lend every ussistance toward securing the fair, and at Tuesday night's meeting the matter should be emphatically settled—the $50,000 should be raised before a motion for adjournment s en- tertained. That much good is going to come out of these meetings, whether we get the fair or not, s a fact patent to all. There are men In- terested in the enterprize who will see that Omaha gets her mile track and forms her race assoclation in any event. This is as it should be. Omaha has few enough summer | attractions to make the success of such a project incontrovertible. Put sufficient money into the thing and the returns will be abun- dant. According to a reliable English authority the 3-year-old gallopers this year were not the equals of those of 1893. Ladas did well in the scason In the Two Thousand and Derby events, which was won by his ability to wait on his opponents and beat them in the final dash. When obliged, however, to sustain that particular high pressure for over 200 yards, he was invariably beaten, and hence his two defeats by Isinglass and Lis overthrow in the St. Leger by Throstle. Those who were beaten by Ladas were not of the highest order. Match Box and others who finished behind him in the early events not being of the best quality, None the Wiser was a charming filly to look at, and as good as any of her sex, yet with good d-year-olds at less than welght for age, was never in the huot. Probably the most worthy youngster to be made the winter favorite of the Derby of 1895 is Raconteur, who is undoubtedly the best of the 2-year- olds of this season. Lord Drummond is the best of the nursery stock. Indian Queen, who won the Cambridgeshire, is spoken of as @ very promising filly. She is rather undersized, but beautitully molded, heart and with grand quarters, bred to Touchstone and Beeswing, which cross occurs at least four times in her pedi- gree—thrice through Newminster, and once through the latter's own sister, Honey- suckle, —_— ‘When Baby was sick, we gave ber Castoria, When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria, When she became Miss, shie clung to Castoria, When she had Children, she gave them Castoria, A FORCED SALE $250,000 WORTH OF GOODS ON SALE AT A BIG SACRIFICE.
