IlLslucatcd Her Shoulder.
Last Tuesday ruoruing while a little
dauchter of Chas. Lewis, residing
! near the county farm west of the city,
'was playing blacknian at the Mener-
lille Bchool, she fell and sustalued a
dislocation of the left shoulder. The
Injury was quite painful and the dis
location a very bad one. The little
one was brought to this city by
Wash Young who happened to be
coming in and who was stopped by
the child's parents, who were with
her as soon after the accident as pos
sible. The entire party came to the
city where a surgeon set the dislo
cated member, finding It an extreme
ly hard Job. The dislocation was so
severe that the surgeon had to brace
his foot against the child's body
while he pulled the Injured .member
Into the socket. The little one bore
the pain splendidly and never flinch
ed when the bones snapped Into the
socket, she saying to the surgeon
"Doctor, I heard it snap into place."
She ia getting along quite nicely.

S. A. Morrison Formerly of Thi
County Attempt to Murder
Wife and Kills Himself
Omaha was the scene this noon of
a terrible tragedy in which S. A.
(Sandy) Morrison, a former resi
dent of Cass county and well known
throughout this section, killed him
self and attempted to kill his wife
and her father. The tragedy is said
to have been the outgrowth of fam
ily difficulties between Morrison and
his wife, they have separated and
the wife making arrangements to go
to her home with her father. The
shooting took place at the corner of
Fifteenth and Douglas streets whero
Morrison had followed the two who
had been upstairs presumably ln con
sultation with an attorney. As they
came down the stairs they were met
by Morrison who drew a revolver and
flred upon them, both being struck
by tho bullets and falling to the
sidewalk. Believing that he had
slain them both Morrison then turn
ed the weapon upon himself , and put
three bullets into his head, tho Bhots
taking Instantaneous effect and death
resulting almost Instantly. Tho bul
lets entered the forehead Just nbove
tho eye. Tho sound of the shots at
tracted the police who found Mrs.
Morrison and her father lying upon
the walk badly wounded while Mor
rison lay not far away weltering ln
his life blood. Ho was dead when
found. The two wounded parties were
taken Into an automobile and rush
ed to a hospital where an examina
tion of their Injuries was made. It
Is said that the wife will survive tho
effect of her wounds.
It Is said that Morrison was In
sane at the time of the killing and
that domestic trouble had unhinged
his mind. Brooding over the diffi
culties which he had gone through
with, he had followed up his . wife
and her father and had mapped out a
plan to kill them and himself. It
was only his excited condition which
caused the miscarriage of his plans
and permitted the wife and father to
escape his vengeance.
Messrs D. O. Dwyer and William
Schmidtman of this city were across
the street from the shooting at the
time of Its occurrence and from the
latter the facts of the shooting were
learned as nearly as he could ascer
tain them in the limited time at his
command. lie was right on the verge
of taking a car when the shooting
took place and did not have time to
learn the details of the tragedy.
Morrison ls very well known ln this
county, having at one time taught
school near Eagle and later being the
editor of tho Beacon at that point.
Still later ho edited tho Courier at
Louisville having taken the samo over
from Leo Mayfleld, now tho editor.
Ho was a volunteer of Company B.,
Third Nebraska Volunteers during
the Spanish-American war but failed
to pass tho examination. It is Bald
that mental troublo had run in the
Morrison family nnd that only he
and one brother had escaped tho fatal
taint of the complaint. He came
originally from near Springfield, Neb.
Personally, ho waa a genial, fellow,
and one of the last on earth to have
been susplcloned of such a terrible
deed. During his residence here he
had made many good friends who re
gret his rash deed. At the time of
his death he was In the mail service,
being a letter carrier in Omaha nnd
he had Just gone off duty a few mo
ments before he committed his ter
rible deed.

Work of the Committee.
The good work of the commercial
club committee ln securing signatures
to the petition for paving continues.
This . morning Messrs Dwyer and
Schmidtman of tho committee visited
Omaha and sought to secure the big
nature of the. property owners in the
effected district who lived there to
he petition. They met with very good
success, although not entirely so.
K. White who owns one lot which
would bo affected by the proposed
improvement declined absolutely to
sign tho petition, ho being virtually
the only person interviewed so far to
do so. Ho did not consider the Im
provement sufficient to warrant the
expense. The petition was presented
to Fred Krug, the authorized repre
sentative of the Realty company, own
ers of the building nt the corner of
Fifth nnd Main streets now occupied
by Ed. Egenberger and thero was no
difficulty. Mr. Krug signed for the'
company and stated to the committee
that they stood ready to do anything
for the improving of the city and
thnt they wanted tho good work to1
go on. The committee was more than
pleased to find Mr. Krug so favor
ably disposed toward the work and
bis hearty seconding of their endeav
ors cheered them up a lot. Mr.
Mathews, who was supposed to bo the
representative of tho owner of the
Gund building at tho corner of Fourth
and Main streets replied that he could
not sign ns he had no authority, tho
owner of the building being a gentle
man at LaCrosse, Wis. However, he
promised to take the matter up with
him and secure his signature to the
petition. This was thoroughly satis
factory to tho committee who were
more than pleased with tho success
attending their efforts. This makes lt
absolutely certain that the majority,
in fact, nearly nine-tenths of the
majority, ln fact, nearly nine-tenths
of tho frontage owners, have signed
