She intimated quite strongly a number of times that her son was lying, and the court, finding that she could not be re- pressed, ordered the son to remove her from the room. The son tried to do so, but she refused to budge. The bailiff, James Nicoll, was then instructed to take her out, Again she refused, and Nicoll was just on the point Tof picking her up in the chair and carrying her out bodily, when Mrs. Kirby came to the conclusion that it would b2 more digni- fled for her to go out in the usual way.

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFES Harry Curtis’' Retarn Infuses New Life Into the Y. M, 0. A, WAS THEIR FIRST GENERAL SECRETARY Under Tlis Management the Assoclation Prospered and Grew Strong, but fur Varions Canses it Hgs Declined Since Wi Departare. Harry Curtis, the hustling young man who hag arrived in the city from St. Joseph, Mo, to assist In the work of reorganizing the Young Men’'s Christian assoclation, Is well known to the people of Council Blulfs who have lived here for the past elght years, He was the retary the assoclation ever efforts is largely due the it had during the early istence. While here he was incessantly at work, bringing the needs of the associa- tion before the people in a way that brought forth ntial contributions. He seemed to know the nceds of the work, and the best way to get those needs provided for. His experience has extended over quite a number of years, and the friends of the association are firm in the belief that with him at its head the association will be revived and put in such shape as to insure a great deal of good.being done through the years to come, When Mr. Curtis came here eleven years ago he found the city without any organi tion whatever for looking after the spiritual needs of young men. He was backed by the religious element of the city, and in a short time a flourishisg organization was started. The novelty of the thing, how- ever, caused It to be looked down upon in many quarters, and for a long timo it was hard to get those for whose beneflt the association was intended to come to the meetings. The headquarters wers in a little building on North Main street, but the little room was more than big enough 1l crowds that embled there Sunday afternoon. The secretary and istants tried every means of adver- E the meetings, without success, and they were almost at their wits’ end, when a mere chance event took place that' crowded the room to its utmost capacity. “One Sunday afternoon,” said Mr. tis, when talking over old times, “it in 1883, 1 think, one of the fellows hap- pened to tip the stove over. The smoke poured out of the windows, and people on the outside thought the building was on fire. Some one turned in an alarm, and in a few minutes the fire department was there ready to extinguish the blaze. In less time than 1 can tell it, the street was full of people. Before the department arrived some of us had picked up the stove and thrown it outdoors, and then everybody came inside to see what damage had been done. In a few seconds the room was full, and then 1 began to tell the audience, in a good natured way, that we had been trying for weeks to get them inside, but they wouldn't come. H0 we had decided to burn the building down, and see if that would bring them. We then went on with our meet- ing, and many of those present were so interested by what they saw and heard that they Kept right on coming Sunday after Sunday, without the help of the fire de- partment.” From that time on the interest and the membership kept growing together, until the headquarters had to be moved to a larger room at the corner of Broadway and Main street, and a gymnasium and bath rooms were added to the attractions. Last evening the new secretary met the board of directors of the assocation and plans were discussed for carrying on the work. These plans are so far in a very imperfect form, but the promise is made that within two weeks the assoclation will be heard from in earnest. One difficulty that will be met at the outset is to procure suitable rooms. There is no place in the city that is just adapted to the assoclation’s needs, and the probability is that nothing short of a Young Men's Christian associa- tion building will satisty those who are now endeavoring to revive it. A reception is being planned for Mr. and Mrs. Curtis for Saturday evening, the place to be announced later.

Sherift Hamilton and: his posse turned from their long . hunt thls afternoon, driven In yby the &now and bitter cold. The sheriff is of the opinic that the body of Barrett Scott has not b concealed in the Niobrara river. His sto of the search is best told In his own words He sald: “We started from Parker on the trail as soon as it was light Tuesday morn ing. The trail was plain and we followed it with but little difficulty It led us past the Young place and then straight to the vacant school house on the section line, almost directly west from the pl where the shoot ing occurred, and about five miles distant There evidence was found that the party had stopped for some little time. I am confident that this is the place where Schmidt was turned loose. T am sure that we were on the right trail and we failed to find any barn or stable where they had stopped, = Schmidt must have mistaken the old school house for a barn in the darkness and excitement We found nothing that would indicate that a further tragedy had been committed at this point. From the school house the trail led toward the Niobrara river. The tracks were plain, but they wound around con- tinually and it was evident that they had been made in tho night. There were numerous places where they would have taken a slightly different route if it had been daylight. We followed the trail all day and it brought us straighy o the Niobrara river. The tracks entered the brakes along the bank and there were lost in the sand. There was then not a particle of doubt in my mind that we would find Scott's body under the fce, bui I w disappointed. We searched the river and bank for fifteen mil h way without success. The bank was & and 1o one could have possibly approached or left the river without leaving a track. The fce was of a seamy character, and even there tha lightest foot- step left a trail. One man took the bank and another the ice, but nowhere was thers a trace of any visitor except rabbits and coyotes. We only found cne air hole in the ice and at that poina the water was not deep enough to conceal the body. We did not leave a spot unexplored and I am positive that Scott was never dumped in the river, He fs either still alive cr he has been disposed of in some other way.” The sheriff said that he had no idea of abandoning the search. The snow had made it impossible to follow a trail, but he had certain clews which he would work to a finish. The nature of his Informaticn he would not disclose, but said he would never give up until he had found Barret: Scott, dead or alive. A posse of men who are well acquainted with the country are still scouring the river valley. ELLIOTT'S MASK DROPPED OFF. There is much unfavorable comment about town on account of the action of County Judge McCutchen in releasing Elliott on a slender bond. McCutchen this morning that a good many of his friends had told him that he had made a mistake, but he knew Elliott well, and was certain’ that he would appear promptiy at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. Evidence against Elliott 18 good, as fas as it goes, but is not conclusive, Schmidt is most positive in his identification. He says Elliott s the man who( pulled Scott from the carriage at Parker. erward, as they were taking them away, he came and rode beside the wagon in which Scott and himself were lying. At that time the mask dropped from Elliott’s face. Schmidt had succeeded in getting one eye free from the bandage, and as it was bright mooulight he says that he cannot be mistaken iu his recollection of Elliott’s features. It was further impressed on his memory because Elliott was the man who subsequently untied his hands and started him on the road ‘to Q’Nelll. ‘When the posso started out with Schmidt he told them of these circurnstances. He said that the man whose face hé Saw was a total: stranger to him, but he would know him if he saw him again. Marshal Hall decided to take Schmidt out on a still hunt for his man. He told him to say nothing when he recognized him, byt to tell them afterwards. Half a dozen men were visited, but Schmidt failed to see his man. When they arrived at Elliott’s house yesterday Elliott himself came out. In an instant Schmidt signaled that this was the man. Schmidt made an excuse to go around the house 50 as to get a side view of Elliott and his companions allege that the suspected man turned and watched him like a hawk. Elliot claimed that he had not seen nor heard anything of the crime, but they declare that when he saw Schmidt his lips turned white and his hands trembled with fright. Eilictt is one of the men who has been re- ferred to as under suspicion, but no names were mentioned until after his arrest, ODD FELLOWS OFFER A REWARD. At their meeting last night Elkhorn Lodg: No. 67, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, passed a resolution ap) ng $100 to be expended In producing Barrett Scott, dead or alive, Other secret socleties of which Scott was a member will take similar action, s though it is the general opinicn that the body will never be found until the river gives up its secrets, Thero is considerable curiosity here in re- gard to the comment that will be made by the Beacon Light, the local populist paper which has openly advocated extreme measures. Its editor hias been In Lincoln since Monday and no editorial comment will be made on the affair. Locally the paper will incline to the theory that the tragedy was part of a clever ruse on the part of Scott's friends. The shooting of Scott, the bullet wound in Miss McWhorter's back and the blood stains on the carringe box will be explained as cleverly concocted fakes which were prepared to carry out the illusion. This theory was sprung by those who were unfriendly to Scott the day after the shooting, but no im- portance fs attached to it by the general public. re- SHOOTING WAS GENUINE, For the purpose of settling this point a Bee reporter this morning interviewed all the persons who were in the carriage with Scott, as well as Dr. J. P. Gilligan, the at- tending physician. Miss McWhorter again related the story of the affair. She is an exceptionally intelligent young woman and her statements are very positive. She bears painful evidence that the bullet wound in her back is no fake. Her heavy woolen clothing and an Intervening corset stcel were all that saved her life. As it was, the bullet only made a slight wound in her back, and it was easily extracted by Dr. Gilligan after she ar- rived at 0 1t is & 44-100 calibre bullet which was evidently fired, from a rifle, She showed the reporter the shawi plerced by the bullet, and it is stained with blood that oozed from the wound in Scott's head. ; “I don't see how anyone could say that these men were our friends” said Miss McWhorter. “It was ag. murderous an at- tack as could possibly b fmagined, and I know that they had murder,in their eyes.” Dr. Gilligan is equaily emphatic in his de- nunciation of the “friends”, story. He said that the bullet that hit his patient could not possibly have been fired, with other than a murderous intent. Although, the wound was not serious, it was certajnly genuine, and it was only Miss MciVhopter's fortune that saved her from more serjous injury. That the bloody affair, at,Parker was no farce, Mrs. Scott and §chmidt are equally certain. Both of them retaln vivid recollec- THE GREATEST PURIFIER S.5.S FOR THE BLOOD.
