/Vrrrstod lor Attempted Murder.
About two months ago O. I.Vilson ami
A. W. Turner , two tenants , on the Coylo
farm several miles south of Council Bluffs ,
- Ueeaino Involved In a quarrel over some
mutters connected with their business. The
quarrel resulted In Wilson making a savngo
attacl ; upon Turner with a singletree. Tur
ner received several injuries , nnd was under
tliccaroof a physician for some time. The
assault was so vicious and the Implement
used wni of such n murderous character that
Turner had reason for believing that Wilson
meant to taho Uis life , and with this con
viction signed an Information charging him
with assault with Intent to commit murder.
Tlio information was Hied in Justice Schurz'
ofllco and tlio warrant was given toConstablo
Wesley. When tlio o nicer reached the scene
ofcnrnago Wilson had flown without leaving
any announcement of his destination. Turner
tTlftWlv recovered from his Injurl .3 and tlio
J , scurt'h-Jor AVIIson was not prosecuted very
vigorously. A few days ago Wilson returned
" to the farm ami Turner came to town and
renewcil thu Information and at the same
time applied for an injunction from the dis
trict court restraining .lames Coyle , the
owner of the form , Constable Wesley
unll others from selling or disposing of a pair
of mules over which tliero hud been sorno
controversy. Constable Covult served the
notice of Injunction upon Coyloycstcrday and
in his Inside poelict ho carried a warrant for
the arrest of Turner on the old charge.
Turner was found and brough to town and
looked up iu the county Jail to answer the
chiirtroof attempted murder. The case was
set for hearing in Sclnm' ' court on Friday ,
but Turner's lawyer moved for a rhango of
yen no to Burnett , and the case will bo heard
in the latter tribunal on the ilato llxod. The
district court granted the Injunction asked
for by Turner.

The long drawn out Prninoy case was sub
jnittcdyestorday afternoon , and Judge.Mncy
will now have the task of going through n
. jujss of papers and deciding the matter. The
cuso Is brought by ono Smith , as adminis
trator , against Mrs. Frulnoy. It Is claimed
that Fralnoy used $1,000 of the money secured -
cured from his father's .estate and used It lu
building n house In which ho now lives and
which stands in Mrs. ralnoy's name. It Is
urged that the money did not belong to
. I'raliioy , and that Mrs , Fralnoy should be
compelled to relinquish the house , the deed
conveying It to her being fraudulent. Mrs.
1'Valnoy ' claims that the * 1COO was
money which she had been saving llttlo by
little. It was shown that when Fralnoy
wont south to attend his father's funeral he
secured certain notes belonging to his father's
estate , and sold tneso , and sent tl.iJOO by ox-
picss to his wife la Council Bluffs. The
same day that she received the money she
deposited $1MX ) In a bank hero , ana used It
lu paying for thohouso In controversy. On
the other hand It Is claimed that she tool <
this money from the express ofllco and turned
it ever to her husband , ami that thu tl.COC
deposited by her was money which she haii
been six yearn saving , and that she had con
cluded that day to put It in the bank instead
of concealing it uround the homo any longer

The above note to Tun BEE advertising
man , written by Mr. Simon Eiseman on a
telegraph blniik , was the Invitation to the re
porter-sent to enjoy nn hour in rumbling
through the linlf mile of ulslcs on the live
lloor of the Klscmans' great commercial
palace. The hour was Insufllclcnt to see all
but enough was noted to support Mr. Klse-
innn's assertion that there was no person
about tbo building who could llnd time to
write advertisements without neglecting
patient customers.
On the llrst lloor Saturday afternoon there
was scarcely standing room , Tlio Indies
were making their purchases ol dress goods
from the great display of rare bargains for
' .ho holiday trade. Itwnsns busy n scene ns
Council Illufts over witnessed. Clerks were
ilinost concealed behind the piles and
tacks of. goods that had hecn taken
down to . suit the varying tastes
of the shoppers. Every loom in the
civilized world had contributed to the stock ,
and the lady who did not buy hail no excuse
to plead except the single ono that she had
ilre.idy bought too much for her purse in
omo of the other departments.
The greatest attraction was on the third
leer , which is devoted wholly to the toy de
partment and the holiday goods. Of Itself
, t is as large as t\vo ordinary stores , but
every foot of room that was nol tnkon up by
the crowds of people was occupied hy stacks
of goods designed for presents. Santa Claus ,
the real live old gentleman In flesh and blood ,
was there making bis way through the crowd
followed by .troops of happy children. The
hundreds of visitors wcro unstinting in their
commendations of the elegant exhibit , and
the children especially were exuberant in
their exclamations of dcligut at the many
things peculiarly attractive to them.
Snnta Claus was in all his glory and
the kindly oln king Of the Juvenile heart was
followed about as ho led the way from ono
attractive exhibit to another by a band of
enthusiastic children who abundantly as
sured him of their love nnd loyalty. And
what did ho show them I A brilliant display
of an nlmost endless variety of toys a de
partment which Is a veritable museum of
curiosities , embracing cvervthing that the
cenlus of invention has brought out for
the amuseinent of the children. The
mechanical nnd steam toys were particularly
attractive and elicited the most vociferous ex
clamations of delight from the little ones.
While Santa Clausi was escorting the ju
veniles through the crowded and beautifully
arranged departments allotted to them , the
older visitors were finding gratification in an
inspection of the superb stocks in which
there are hundreds of appropriate gifts for
gentlemen , young nnd old , unique and desira
ble presents for Indies of all ages , and many
articles useful and beautiful , which are
always in demand.
Hero is a partial list of thcjholiday display ,
about ono article In n thousand , and the
clerks tell you when you inquire tlio price of
anything that it is Just one-half what it was a
week ago that Mr. Eiseinan ordered them
to sell everything at halt price until after the
holidays :
Soldiers and canon , magic lanterns , trum
pet. ) that automatically play beautiful tunes ,
trombones , swinging horses , ranges and
stoves , hook nnd ladders , tire engines , hose
carts , drays , wagons , express wagons , dog
carts , passenger trains , freight trains , Han

and tops that sing , rubber balls , violins ,
guns , printing presses , sheep that cry and
sheep that "bah , " ' dudes' drawing slates ,
> vritingdesks , drums , and a thousand others
wo can't think of.
The assortment in albums Is really start
ling. Beautiful plush albums for 60o and up
to many dollars. Plush boxes , toilet cases ,
manicure sots , perfumery sets , collar and
cuft boxes , glove boxes , pin cushions , foot
stools , work boxes , shaving sets , smoking

too numerous to mention.
Dolls I A bewiildoring assortment from
the low priced doll atloto $15 , with china ,
patent bisque and washable heads. Dolls
that talk , dolls that cry , and dolls ttint go to
sleep no mere newspaper description can do
them justice ; a kid body doll tor 20c ; a real

Uashets in every conceivable shape , style
and color. Jnpancso baskets ; German bas
kets , Indian baskets , ranging in price from
lie to $ o,75.
There are moro plush goods on this floor
than used to come to the city In an entire
season , and "everything Is of the newest anil
handsomest design , nnd tacked to each js
the startling legend "half price. "
On the-second lloor is displayed the finest
and largest line of clonks nnd jackets to bo
found in any house in the west. This depart
ment was likewise crowded , and the fact
that so many pcoplo from abroad , aswell us
from the city , were buying was explained by
the clerks , when they would tell the custom
ers that the management had determined to
close out the season's stock by the llrst of the
year , and rather than carry over anything
had cut the prices on every garment to the
wholesale llgure. Among the purchasers
were noted several dealers replenishing their
.stock.
In all the other departments the sumo busy
scene is noted , proving the assertion of the
management that Elseman's Is the headquart
ers for this western country lor every line of
dry goods.
