Main St., Council Bluffs, “Have It Done Right Bluffs ANOTHER PERSON IN MURDER Police Not Satisfied that Killed Husband. Council rs. Collins SEVEN SHOTS IN ALL mnn: uld Not from Re- Bullets of Kind that Have Heen Fired volver of Husband or Wite, Eugene Colling, a eolored waiter on the Los Angeles. Limited train, was shot and instantly killed at 8 o'clock Friday morn- ing at the home of Mrs. Colling' mother 23 South Eighth street, Council ‘Bluffs. While his wife, Grace Belle Collins, who Thursday filed suit for divoree, #ald to Coroner Treyngr that she shot her hus- band in self-defense, the police, finding that Collins was shot three times and thgt one of the bullets in his body was of a kind that she could not have fired with Her weapon, are inclined to doubt the storles of the crime. They are trving to find out who used a third weapon in the house. It is possible that Mrs. Collins aid not fire at her husband at all, the officers say. Mrs. Collins Thursday filed sult for ai- vorce from Collins, whom she married on June 23, 1906, and the shooting of Colling followed, it was claimed, an attempt on his part to kill both Mrs. Collins and her mother, Mrs. Jennle Powell. Collins called at the Powell home early in,the morning and Mrs. Powell rose to let him in. He fired four shots at her, but all missed and she ran screaming from the house. Mrs. Collins then rushed out and Collins fired twice ar her, but neither shot hit her. Mrs. Collins then ran back into her bed room, secured a revolver and returned, blazing away at her husband. Her first shot struck him In tWe temple and as he wheeled around she fired agal), the bullet striking him between the shoulders and through his body. Collins was arrested and taken before Judge Snyder, Who immediately re- manded her to the grand jury, which is now in session. Myaterious Third Person. The fact that Collins was shot three times indlcated, the police say, that some one elsc other than the man's. wife also shot him, as only two 6f the five cartrldges In the revolver which Mrs. Collins claimed to have used were found to have been dis- charged. Mrs. Powell, when first telling her ver- slon of the killing, declared that Collins fired four times at her and twiee at his wife. Hix revolver, a six-chamber Colt of %-calibre, showed that only two shots had been fired out of it. The weapon which Mrs. Collins claims to have used is a S-calibre Smith & Wesson, with a long barrel. That an automatic revolver firing copper jacketed bullets of H2-calibre was used by some one in the house during the shooting is the belief of the officers, who say the evidence is that seven shots in all fired. Two of the wounds in Collins’ body, It is sald by Coroner Treynor and City Physician Tubbs, who performed the autopsy, were caused by 38-calibre bullets. while the third wound, which was in the right side Just above the hip, was caused by a copper jacketed builet of 32-calibre. This bullet was found low down in the right thigh. Bullets in Wall. In the dining room of the Powell home the officers found trace of two bullets, one of which was imbedded in the wall. The other had gone through a partition into the 'hallway, where it embedded ‘tself in the wall. In the room upstairs, where ilie body of Collins was found lying face down, two copper-facketed bullets were fiund on the floor near where the dead man's head had lain. Efforts by the officess to locate the third revolver had not been successful 1p to last night. All living in the house denied there was any other weapon besides that which Mrs. Collins clalms to have used on her husband. The officers say also that they doubt if Mrs. Collins shot at her husbiad at ali. They have learned, it is sald, that after the first shot was fired, presumably b Collins, she fled from the house anl tooi refuge at the hospital comducted by Mirs. Pangle at the corner vi First avemte and Bighth street, and only returnsd to 1he house after her husband bad beea killed. Couple Has Quarrel. Collins and his wife, who had been living at 324 West Broadway, had a violent juar- rel Tuesday, and Collins, it is said, drove his wife from the house. She went to thc home of her mother on Eighth tieet. Col- lins came in from his run early yesterdav morning and falling to tind his wife at home went in search of her. Ho went to the home of Mrs. Sally W. Willinwas, 1403 West Broadway, and not finding her there, started for the Powell home. Mrs. Wil llams, as soon as Collins left hor place, tel- ephoned Mrs. Powell that Collins was com- | ing and that he had a ravolver, and warned her to be on her guard. On his way to the Powell place Collins, It is said, stopped at the Davis saloon at the corner of Broadway and Eleventh strest #d drank a glass of whisky. From there hc went di- reet to the\Powel| home. Mrs. Collins, her sister, Mrs. J. W. Watts, and the latter's husband; her mother, Mrs. Powell, and Needham Whit- man and Quito Calamase, two young negroes stopping at the Powell place, were all taken Before the grand jury during the afternoon. Aftorwards the three men, Whitman, Calamase and Watts, were locked up in the city jail, while Mrs. Collins was taken to the county jall. Mrs. Powell and Mrs, Watts were permitted to return to thelr home. Coroner Treynor announced that he would hold an inquest this afternoon. Collins was well thought of and was sald to be a hard-working man who saved his money. He bought the home at 4 West Broadway and his bank book showed that he had about $300 saved. Mr. and Mrs, Collins were married at the home of her mother by Rev. John Al- bert Willlams, rector of the church of Bt. Phillp the Deacon of Omaha. In her di- vorce petition Mrs. Collins accuses her hus- band of cruel and inhuman treatment. She is 23 years of age and he was 2.

Are Normal and Volume of Business is Large. NO FUNDAMENTAL WEAKNESS Confidence and Activity in Produc- tive Industries Contrasts Sharply with Depression Prevailing in Speculative Market, NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—R. G. Dup & Co.'s Weekly Review of trade today sald: Notwlthstanding the seasonable lull in business, general conditions are fully normal and the volume of trade, as meas- ured by bank exchanges and railroad earn- ings, is heavy. There Is a wide diversity of reports from the different trades and trade centers, but even the least satisfaotory in- dicates no fundamental weakness, while a majority of the reports, particularly ihose from cities farthest removed from the In- fiuence of the unsettled conditions in the financial markets, show a healthy condition of affairs. The dlstingulshing feature ©f the whole business situation is the shar contrast between the hesitation p"vmfl in the security markets and the confidefge and activity prevalling In productive enter- prise. An increased demand for pig fron s ir- dicated, with buyers displaying more inter- est than for several weeks past, and prices show a hardening tendency In some uis- ots. Inquiry is bl’uldenhw quite gen- erally, with sales of from 40,00 to 50,000 tons of various grades noted at the west, while business In some parts of the cast shows an appreciable expansion, mostly in malleable iron. Steel-making fron, how- ever, continues active, and in some mar kets basic is still avallable at $17.00 Con- siderable frregularity has developed in fin ished lines, bul some dullness in this Al vision is not surprising after the phenom- enally heavy buying before last year closed, This has resulted in the accumulation of jarge stocks in jobbers' hands, yet buyers in many instances, still appear willing to make contracts for distant periods. Trading fn cotton goods was restrictod to some extent by unsettled conditions in the raw material market, aithough in the face of & sharp decline in the staple there weve large sales of print cloths at the advanced price of 4% cents, for delivery during the first six months of the year. There was also a shortening of discounts on printed g00ds of a staple character, foreshadowing to some buyers an advance from the buse price of 5% cents. Considerable more activity 18 noted in hides, some large tanners entering the market. Prices were lower than have pre viously ruled, but the declines were nat great, considering the fact that most of the packers who sold were enabled to cléean out their stocks of branded varietles up to the first of the vear. Leather continu:s dull and few sales of any size are made. BRADSTREET'S REVIEW OF TRADE Reports Refleet Variations Weather Condit Traffic, NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Bradstreel's today sald: Reports as to trade reflect variations of weather lrregularity affecting sales and movement of farm produets and cosl supplies and of spring 80o0ds to various markets. Retail trade in winter goods has. been helped by cold, stormy weather and the usual January price revisions. A very falr volume of re- orders s reported by jobbers, while the volume of orders for spring reaching wholesale houses from travelers is fairly good. Transportation lines, particularly in the north and west, have heen hampered by stormy weather and the mavement of crops has been interfered with. Something d_transportation approaching a coal famine still exists at many western pointst Bullding operations lly been retarded by stormy weather and there is promise of some dame age on western rivers from gorges ndoor industries seem to be actively eme ployed, notably iron and steel and shoe manufaeturing. Best reports as to new business in iron and steel come from the west, while eastern markets are rather quiet. There Is some disappointment at the Volume of buying of rails by eastern roads. Collections have been Interfered with by Interruption to crop movement, and are rather \rreguidr, especlally from coun- try districts. The question of higher costs is being considered by many manufacturers, Wwho are finding higher prices for raw haterials, and requests for advances in wages.
