Again the prises of Omaha's history
have boon , blurred and Wnckonod by the
blot of critno. Another lifo has bocn
taken , * n < l rvnothor soul , witbout n
moment's warning , called from this lifo
into the great unknown world beyond.
About 11 o'clock Saturday nigSit
driver in the employ of Jntnos Stephen
oncttno down 'to ' the city nnd reported
thai woman kad boon shot nt the
"Rwid ITouBO , " and Hint she was dead.
Th ? coroner WAS at once notified and
want out to the ucono of the trouble ,
where nil the parties prevent nt the tinio
of the ( mooting still ruuinincd.
On Thursday evening , Win. Snoll a
saloon keeper nt Valentino , Nebraska ,
came down to Omaha on n business trip.
On the ovouing of his Arrival ho called
upon a woman of the town , known as
Jessie Snoll , alias Jcsnio Wright , lie
spent Friday evening in her company ,
and again visited her Saturday night ,
mooting her about 5 { 30 o'clock , on
Ninth street , and some two hours later
again calling upon her , when the two ,
in company with Liteio Howard , alias
"English Liz , " and a man named John
Qhanor , from Rosebud agency , took a
hack aud drove out to Major Croft's ,
where they arrived about 8 o'clock.
From the stories told by those who
were present at the time of the shooting ,
Jcuio and Snoll were on the best ol
terms , and this was proven by the jewel
ry and ether articles found on her per
son , which had boon pro son ted to her
by Snoll only the day before the
shooting.
The party hod boon drinking botlj before
fore nnd after their arrival at the road
houaoand all were pretty full. About
on hour after their arrival they were
standing about the bar , and the drinks
were called for. Snoll drew a largo , self-
acting "Colt's frontier" revolver , and was
flourishing it about , when Jessie at
tempted to tnko it away from him to avoid
accident or trouble. She was standing atone
ono end of the bar , and right by the door
loading to an nnto-room. After getting
; ho revolver in her hands it wont off.
The ball entered her breast at a point
near the third rib. She made no outcry
whatever , but stopped into the room at
the right , fell on the floor and expired
iniido of two minutes' time.
The driver who had taken the party
out was sent for the coroner , and on his
arrival everything waa found as it had
boon at the time of the shooting , and two
soldiers from the fort were watching
Snoll , who had already consented to
como to the city and give himself up.
The unfortunate woman was lying where
she foil , her face up , and her appearance
that of ono who had fallen asleep. She
was of medium height , well built , and
her features were by no moans unattrac
tive. Her hair , which * was light brown ,
had fallen about her head and shoulders ,
and her face were an expression as of ono
who had died at peace with all the
world.
Only the ghastly scar made by the
bullet in her besom indicated the dread
ful manner in which she had mot her
death. A gold watch , gold brooch , with
ruby setting , and a silk embroidered
handkerchief , the gifts of her lover , were
all the articles of value found on her per
son.
son.Mr. . Snoll came down to the city with
the coroner and voluntarily gave himself
up to the authorities , to await the ver
dict of the coroner's jury. Ho acted
very much the man , nnd said , no doubt
truthfully , that ho thought more of the
dead woman than of any ether parson
on earth , and that there had never boon
any trouble whatever between them ,
There was the usual number of rumours
flying about , and the sheriff and Captain
Donohuo were both on the alert to cap-
> uro a supposed murderer , but fortu-
mtoly their services were not needed.
t is said that Jessie formerly lived at
? ort ITiobrara and is well-known by the
loldiors and others who lived in the lo
cality. Mr. Snoll stated that ho hac
"own her only about four months , am
, appears that she has boon living ii
Omaha for about a year.
The body of the dead woman wai
brought into the city nnd taken to Vroxo
& Maul's under taking rooms , where an
"nquost was hold yesterday.
At about eleven o'clock the coroner
empanelled n jury and examined sovora
witnesses , after which the inquest was
adjournod-until , afternoon , when it waa
again opened in the district court room
The room was crowded with eager spectators
tors , all anxious to catch every word o
testimony which was taken.
Major Croft , the keeper of this notori
ous "dow-drop in" dive , was the firs
witness examined. Ho testified that the
party arrived at his house between so voi
and eight o'clock in the evening , andtha
the shooting occurred about half-pas
nine. Prior to the shooting ho state <
that Snoll and "English Liz'p had an al
torcatiou , and that Snoll drew his revolver
ver and struck the woman upon
the head with the butt o
it. The deceased then appeared upon
the scene and throw her arms arounc
Snail's neck and bogged of him to pa ;
no attention to Liz , as iho was drunk
Sncll and Liz then forgave each ether
took a drink and were happy. At tin
time of the shooting witness slated tha
ho was up stain , but wont down quick ! '
and told Snoll that ho must not shoot in
the house. His boy then told him tha
the woman was hurt and together witl
'Snoll ho entered the , room where deceased
ceased had fallen , Snoll approached her
head and attempted to raise lur to lie
foot but she was dead. They then won
out and Snoll exclaimed : "My God ,
had rather have boon shot through the
heart ton times than to have shot her
She waa the only woman I over loved. '
Ho then wont back into the room an <
lay down upon the iloor beside the corps o
and put his arm around the dead wo
man a nock.
John Croft , a lad fourteen years o
age , was then put upon the stand , nn <
his testimony was about the same as hi
father , except that ho saw the shooting
Ho stated that Snoll was flourishing hi
revolver in the air whou deceased cam
out and took hold of the gun , and almos
immediately it wai discharged. Th
woman turned , after being shot , am
adjoining room before
walked into an
'iflio Hoimtd was then > }
with Snoll
testified that ho had a quarrel
Saturday night , and that ho struck her
the head with the butt o f hi. revolver -
vor Shodidnotscothoshwoting. She
had known deceased for ft year nnd a
' , nlf. That deceased told her since re
turning to thia city that Snoll was a bad
man with a rovolvcrnnd at Valentino homed
mod to shoot through the windows and
wftshstand. and that housed to shoot the
heels off her shoes. Ho * l oshot two
holes in her cloak , which ATO. till thoro.
Pond , the hack driver , who ttook the
parly out to the place was then exam-
incd. His testimony VTM the same as
the foregoing , except in rcsard to the
position ol the revolver. Ho claimed
that Snoll was holding the revolver in
his left hand , with the muzzle pointing
back and the but forward , or , wrong end
to. That the deceased approached Snoll
from behind and took hold of the revolver
while it was yet in that position and that
it wa almost immediately discharged.
Now it seems very strange to us that
the deceased was shot in the chest when
the revolver was hold according to the
testimony of Pond.
Doctor Hyde , aflor making a post
mortem examination , stated that the
bullet had passed through the right
oracle of the heart and had _ lodged be
tween the third and fourth ribs , near the
spine. A very largo lump of clotted
blood was disclosed just inside the
wound.
After hearing the testimony of Dr
Hyde the jury adjourned until 2 o'clock
to-day ,
Snoll , the man now in jail awaiting
the investigation of the coroner's jury
for shooting the deceased , is not a bad
lowldng young man. Ho is , apparently ,
20 years of ago , of medium height nnd
build , with dark hair and eyes , and does
not look like ono who would willfully
commit tnurdor. Ho is very hopeful and
ii > certain that ho will not bo hold by the
coroner's jury , and claims that the affair
was purely accidental.
The evidence tends to show that Jes.
sil Wriplit came to her death by careless
no6s.\but auch carelessness should bo severely
voroly punished. It is becoming alto
Bother too popular for men to whin ou
their guns and flourish thorn around anc
announce themselves as bad men. It ii
time that something waa done to teacl
-ihis class of persons that human lifo i
) y far too precious and sacred to bo thu
endangered.
The pit co where this tragedy occurroi
s ono of the hardest ranches in the coun
ry , and ia a burning disgrace to an ;
community. It is a shame that the citi
: ens of this place allow such a hellhole
o exist so near the limits of our city
such places it is that broods crime am
awlossness. It is a hangout for prosti
utcs and their followers , and almas
nightly there are scones there whicl
roulcl shock the public greatly did thoj
> ut know of thorn.
It is understood that the deceased ha
mronts living in Hastings , and they wile

A SENSATIONAL STORY.
All Iowa Girl Leaves Her Home an
Enters a Bagnio in this City ,
She Is Followed by Her Father \Vh
*
Ferrets Her Out and Carries
Her Back to Her Rural ,
Homo.
This is indeed a queer world , and thi
a great ago. Day after day comes th
tory of children , brought up by respocl
able and pious parents , who have foi
oaken the paths of duty , virtue and righl
, o tread the downward road of miaorj
degradation and death. It seems all th
moro strange when n young woman , BUI
rounded by all the comforts ol this life
; oed homo , kind and indulgent parenl
md affectionate friends , will cast thot
johind her , and voluntarily seek a lifo c
ihaino and wickedness. Why thcs
Jiings are so wo cannot say. Wo enl
( now they nro so , for very often is ou
attention called to just such cases.
The latest case of this kind comea t
ight in the entry in this city on Thun
day morning , of an Iowa farmer by th
name of Ohas. Dubois , who resides non
Cedar Rapida , and who was hero for th
purpose of ascertaining the whereabout
} f his daughter.
Mr. Dubois , immediately upon hi
arrival , sought an olliccr nnd explained t
liim the object of his visit. Ho state
that on Now Year's day his daughtc
Nellie had left homo , taking with he
the best portion of her wardrobe , andlm
not boon soon sinco. Ho was led to he
liovo that she had como to Omaha , an
that she had boon induced to enter n coi
tain house of ill-fame hero.
The old gentleman had a photographc
hia daughter , and also ono of a nor
commissioned ollicer , and thia man , i
soorns , had boon corresponding with No !
Ho for some time and made her a visi
during the holidays. The girl waa dei
poratoly in love with him , but the ol
folks objected , as they saw certain ind
cations which did not augur well for tii
young man's character or the future ha [
tancss of his wife. While they did tu
actually forbid him coming to the housi
they tried in every way to break up tli
intimacy , and supposed they had BUI
coodod when ho finally loft the placo.
% On Now Year's day Nellie disappears
and when her letters , left behind , woi
examined , they showed that the fears (
the parents were not without foundatloi
Accompanied by an olllcor the fatlu
began to visit the various bagnios of th
city in search of his erring child , wli
was at last discovered in ono of thet
places.
At fmtsho obstinately refused to loavi
and it was not until she was threatono
with arrest that she assented to go , A
the party were leaving the house th
girl's lover put in an appearance , an
it appears , according to the story , thu
it was his first visit there , and when h
mot the father of the woman ho woul
have ruined ho waa struck dumb. Th
old man made a break for him , an
would uudoubteoly have killed him bi
for the interference of the ofticor , wh
got him and his daughter away as quid
ly as possible , and allowed the feller
who was baulked of his intended pro
IORO.
The young woman was taken to a hole
and remained there until Friday aftoi
noon , whou she loft with her tathar fo
her homo , where it is to bo hoped sh
will realize her narrow escupo and behav
horaolf in the future.
She is a pretty blonde , with ploasari
features , vivacious ways and channin
manners. Her father , happy beyon
expression , at saving the misguided gir
ijavo the otlicor who had assisted him i
the search a golden eagle , and all coi
w e.d P"e < f satUQed , except Ihe ma
who had lured the girl from home.

The pant week has boon ono ot moro
than usual excitement to nil interested in
the social circles of Omaha. The nil *
important event nnd ono which interested -
ostod everybody wns the
ItAllHIRON-SAUNDKUS WKDDINO
which was solemnized nt Trinity cntho
drill , Wednesday , January 9th , at 8:51 : (
in the ovoning. This affair had boon
looked forward to for some time past as
the most brilliant social occurrence that
Omaha has over witnessed. In this no
ono wns disappointed. For several
months preparations had boon in progress
nnd the only wonder was that every detail -
tail was so complete. The bride was a
universal favorite not only in this city
where she has lived from childhood and
where her friends and admirers are num
berless , but in Washington , D. 0. , where
she spout much of her time for six years ,
in Philadelphia , Now York , and ether
cities the hearts of many unite in wishing
her all joy and happiness in her now
career. Mr. Harrison , who is a young
man of moro than ordinary energy and
sagacity , is to bo congratulated upon his
last venture and his choice certainly
speaks well for his judgment.
The trousseau of the bride was "just
too lovely for any uso"wo hoard ono lady
remark , but , though it certainly is rich ,
beautiful nnd charming , wo do not doubt
that it will bo used.
The Pnxton parlors , where the recep
tion was hold , were beautiful in the ex
treme. The dining-room was a wonder ,
and everything was done that good taste
could suggest and money procuretomako
the whole n flair a most charming and
happy ono. Mr. and Mrs. Harrison , ac
companied by his parents , left for the
east in a special car Thursday afternoon.
They will spend about six weeks among
friends and relatives and then go to He
lena , Montana , whora a lovely homo is
awaiting them.
There is an old saying which tolls ns
that "It never rains but it pours. " At
about .the same hour on the evening fol
lowing this brilliant affair , a moro
QUIET WKDDINO
ceremony wns performed in South Omaha ,
the bride being Miss Ida Stewart , daugh
ter of Ilov. J. B. Stewart , of the South
Omaha M. E. church. The groom , Mr.
J. H. Boll , of Aurora , Nob. , is a well
known and influential citizen of that en
terprising city. Ho is vice-president of
the First National bank , and is also en
gaged in the lumber business. The cere
mony waa performed by the brido's father
at the parsonage , the room buing beauti
fully decorated with ilowors. Though
the expense and grandourof this wedding
was not nearly so great as that of the
preceding evening , wo doubt very much
if the happiness and contentment which
was observable in all the parties could
bo exceeded in any instance.
There have been several attractions
this wcook at
THE SKATING KINK
among which was the exhibition given by
the graceful little couple who have been
so well taught by Mr , Daniels. The
skating of Miss Nellie Fuller and Master
Bertie Bliss is indeed a credit to any in
structor and n source of much pleasure to
all spectators. After their performance
on Tuesday evening they were each pre
sented with a gold modal by the man
agers of the rink. Thursday night a
grand fancy dress carnival drew & largo
crowd of spectators and proved n com
plete success. There WAS an unusual
numbor.of skaters upon the floor all in
fancy costumes and the evening was a
most enjoyable ono to both skaters and
audience.

To tha Editor ol The Ben
In answer to an article which appearec
in the editorial columns of the Saturday
morning's ' BKK , wherein it is said Urn
Mr. Behm had charged that TUB BKK
was purchased by the Barber Asphal
it company , and that said paper had refused
fused to publish a legitimate advertisement
mont on the merits of the granite pave
ment , Mr. Bohm desires to say that sue !
was not the exact statement , the sum ant
substance of which was simply this ; Mr
Behm beinp of the opinion tbat granite
s the best material for paving , in certain
parts of the city at least , such as Thir-
oonth street and St. Mary's ovonuo , and
mooting Mr. Ilosowator on the
troot , ho asked that gentle
man if ho would not , in his paper ,
advocate the paving of those streets
with granite , and in fact on all streets
where on account of the heavy grade of
ravel , that material would obviously bo
ho best. Mr. Kosowatcr answctod that
10 would consider and look up the mnt-
or and lot him know , since which time
no conversation has boon had between
hem on that subject.
The published statement that $200 , or
my ether sum , wai ever offered Mr.
[ losowator for the publication of any ar-
Mclo concerning granite pavement , is
'also so far as I am concerned. I never
made any such statement , and _ kno\v
nothing about it until it was published ,
