Broadway, | with | Young Huntington Died by the Result of His Own Action, VERDICT OF THE CORONER'S JURY Mothing in the Evidence to Show that Any Shots Wero Firod Other than by the Eead Mu s Record Has Deen Cleared, The taking of evidence by the coroner's Jury in regard to the death of John Hunting- ton was resumed yesterday morning and was not completed until late in the afternoon The evidence produced failed to verity the theory upon which certain portions of the investigation were carried on, and long be- fore the day was over it became evident that death by his own act was the only verdict which could reasonably be rendered. A. C. Graham's testimony did not fulfill the ex- pectations aroused by his sensational state- ment made Monday evening, the effect that the condition of the cartridge sheils showed that only five of them had been ex- ploded recently six bullets had en found. When put again upon the stand erday morning, and asked to testify after xamining the cartridges by daylight, he could not say that his first supposition was correct, Frank Trimble created considerable amuse- ment by the manner in which he described the events of Sunday morning. He ad- mitted that he was haif frightened to death, and told how Cromwell, when the shooting was going on, went out of the door leading from the private office to the closet, showing the jury in a spectacular form the terrified antics through which he went while trying to make his escape. Trimble left by the Main street door, and as he did so saw Cromwell emerge from the side door on First avenue, and run in the direction of the Grand hotel. Subsequent investigation showed that there was no exit from the closet to the side entrance of the building, the latter leading from the street directly into Day & Hess' office. The irresistible conclusion from this was that Cromwell had forced his way through a brick wall without displacing an atom of brick or mortar, which, in view of Cromwell's size, was beyond the belief of the jury. WHERE HE GOT THE MONEY. Fred Lamb, the grandfather of the dead man, testifi:d that he loaned Huntington $50 just before he left for his New York visit. The testimony of the other witnesses was only a threshing over of old straw, and no new facts were elicited. In the afternoon the jury went to the Grand hotel to hear the testimony of Hayden and Cromwell. The former semed to be in good spirits, but the latter was not resting 50 easily as on Monday. Both described the conve:sation that took place in the private office of the bank in much the sam: way as it has already been given to the public by the papers. Both said that they were un armed and did no shooting. Cromwell's testimony did much to strengthen th> belief in Huntington’s innocence of any financial crookedness. He sald that he could not specify any particular check that was mis ing, and that so far as he could see the bank had not lost the $500, excepting so far as the bookkeeping was concerned. The mystery surrounding a note about which the inspectors questioned Huntington Sunday morning was cleared up this after- noon. This note was for $50 and was paid this month, although Huntington would not tell where he got the money with which to pay it. John Bennett,.the cashier of the State Savings bank, went on the stand yes- terday and testificd that on the same day when the note fell due Huntingtan borrowed $50 at his bank, giving a note signed by him- celf and J. H. Pace, his brother-in-law, as security. The testimony all the way through was contradictory in the extreme. The case went to the jury about § o'clock, and in half an hour a verdict was rendered finding that the deceased met his death by a bullet fired ‘from a revolver with suicidal intent. to whereas BENNISON BROS.

John Emarine was brought in yesterday morning by some of his nelghbors and taken to the house of his father, A. H, Emarine, on Harmony street, and then those same neighbors went to Justice Vien's office and fled an information charging him with as- sault with intent to kill. He will be arrested as soon as he s well enough to be turned over to the tender mercies of an officer. He now lies in bed at home with his legs and his face full to the brim of little bird shot, which, though not big enough to make his injuries dangerous, are little enough to prove ex- ceedingly troublesome, Instead of having attempted to kill him- self, as was at first reported by the man who brought the news to Council Bluffs from Quick postoffice, Emarine was shot by his brother-in-law, & young man by the name of Eames. When Emarine went to the Eames mansion and commenced to raise a row, the family tried to pacify him, but when he sent a bullet crashing through old man Eames' leg the young man thought it was time for him to do something. Seizing his shotgun, which was loaded with bird shot, he let both charges fly at Emarine, one catching him in the face and the other in the left knee. His anatomy is still peppered with the leaden pellets, which Dr. Jennings was unable to re- move. Emarine being badly beaten, at once offered to compromise, and his offer was ac- cepted by the young man, his gun being empty. e A LETTET FROM SANTA CLAUS, He Wil Be at the Boston Store s O'clock Tonight.

BOSTON STORE Council Bluffs, Ia. DICK & WALKER. FRUIT GROWERS IN SESSION, FOWLER Southwestern lown Horticultural Soclety's Midwinter Meeting ana Display The meeting of the Southwestern Towa Hortlcultural soclety is now being held. The first session was held yesterday at the court house and was largely attend:d by those in- terested in the business of raising fruit. About thirty delegates are present from var- lous parts of the territory comprised by the society and as_many mor: are expected to arrive today. The first session was opened yesterday morning, with President M. G. Edwards of Glenwood in the chalr and jeorge Van Houten of Lenox as secretary. The greater part of the day sesslons was taken up with the discussion of plums, cher- ries and other small fruits. The reports from the delegates indicated a light crop in most parts of the district. The strawberries were injured more or less by the drouth, but the trees and pl are mostly in good con- dition and the prospects are fair for good crops in the future. An interesting time was had discussing the best methods of cultivat- ing small fruits, and a number of inter:sting papers on various subjects connected with this line of work were read by O. W. Rich of Cass county, H. C. Raymond of Council Bluffs, L. 0. Willlams of Council Bluffs, President Edwards, Ira D. McGeehon of At- lantic and others. In the evening a number of ladies were present at the meeting, which was under the auspices of the Potta- wattamie County Frult Growers' and Garden- ers’ assoclation. A number of musical nov- elties were introduced in addition to the papers, and the audlence was apparently higly interested and amused, Santa Claus hasn't a point in his realm where more attractive beauty is displayed than Is imaged in the long tables covered with the stacks of apples furnished by the members of the Horticultural society, whose midwinter exhibit is attracting such crowds to the Elseman bullding. The display as seen from the street is very enticing, and is made still more so by the splendid floral dis- play in the large west window, made by J. F. Wilcox. The big window has been transformed into a drawing room, where all the furnishings are wrought fn nature's brightest colors and sweetest flowers. The carpet is composed of wintergr.2ns and Christmas holly. In the foreground is a large rug with a groundwork of white chyrsan- themums. The fringe at the end s made ct lilies of the valley, and the colors are mag- nificent, American Beauty roses, forget-me- nots, violets, calla and Easter lilies. Another polar bear rug is wrought entirely of pampas grass, and is startingly real. A mantel built up «f rich roses and greens stands in the corner and the background Is occupled by a heavy bank of ferns and palms. The work is very art'stic and ‘s exquis tely beauti- ful. It cost Mr. Wilcox $176 and is freely given to assist in making the first midwinter exhibition of Pcttawattamie fruits addition- ally attractive. In addit'on Mr. Wilcox has a vegetable display, comprising over thirty varieties of vegetables. Hon.

He was afraid that his job would go glimmering in these troublous times, and cluttered up the track himself in order that he might play the role of a hero and save somebody's life, A new section watchman s now employed there and the Damitz boys breathe the alr of freedom, Stlver teaspoons, three ozs., $2.60 set, en- graving free.

(184~(Special Tele- gram.)—The supreme court:today filed a de cision in the will case of the late P. G. Ball- ingall of Ottumwa. The case Is entitled Mary J. Phillips et al, against A. G. Har- row et al, appellant, Wapello district. Ac- tion to set aside the probate of two para- graphs of the will of P. Ballingall, de- ceased, and to have them decreed to be void and of no effect. The relief demanded was granted in part and the executors of the will, the defendant, the Ottumwa Library assoclation, and the plaintiffs appeal, the appeal of the execu- tors and the Library association having been first taken. The will devises to Ottumwa subject to mortgages thereon and charges specified and real estate described in para- graph 9 “in trus for the purposes speci- fled. The property to be managed and con- trolled by three trustees selected by the city council. Among the purposes of the trust are: First, to provide a sinking fund of $20,000 for the purposs of rebuilding the hotel. Second, to provide a fund of $6,000 for the benefit of the public library then established. Third, to use a part of other funds for further benefit of the Library asso- ciation. Fourth, to ald the poor and needy people of the city of Ottumwa who are de- pendent upon their own labor for their liveli- hood. Fifth, to aid the religious societies of the city. Sixth, to accumulate a fund to build or aid in building and maintaining a foundling hospital. It is claimed that these purposes, except- ing that with regard to the library, are not germane to the objects of the city, and that it has not the power necessary to take the property and execute the trust. The court says that “the fact that the city of Ottumwa may not accept the trust will not defeat it. 1f the city should refuse to act, ample power is lodged in the proper court to appoint another trustee, The pro- vision in the will in regard to the erection of a building is a suggestion. The intent of the testator as to all material matters Is clear, and we discern no legal objection to carrying it into effect. Our conclusion on the entire record is that so much of the decree of the district_court as is questioned on appeal of plaintiffs is afirmed, and so much as is submitted for review on the ap- peal of the Ottumwa Library association and the executors is reversed.” OTHER DECISION Other decisions were filed as follows: A.
