IMM1I.ST1C 1M'IMCITV.
Ifi-nn ( ilttlns I'ourn Out tint Story cit Ills
rrouhlc > s In 11 Court I'ctltlmi.
Heniy Giltins , a farmer of considerable
means , has settled in hi * own mind the ques
tion whether maniago is a failure or other
wise , and the experiment seems to have
ucen an expensive one. judging from the tale
that Is unfolded In a petition filed in the dis-
tuct court jcsteiuav Oitlins took out a
license to marrv in this city April 19 , 1 'jj ,
thu bride being Martha C. Brunon of this
city At that tlmo Gittins was M .voirs of
ago and his bride ten j ears his junior. Ho
owned a little over I'M aeies of farm land in
Boomer township , and , in fact , that was all
by had in the world Thej vvero mamed
and went to live on the faun
Hoon after the marriage Olttlns found that
minted lifo was not all it was cracked up to
bo , for a little less than a j oar after the
cercmonv was performed Mis Gittins so far
foigot the kittenish wav.s by which she h id
entrapped her husbii'd'h heirt as to call him
up short and with an ax in her hand demand
that ho in iko out a deed turning ever every
acieofland ho owned Gittins lost no limu
in compljin-fwith her request , made in so
eauicst a manner , and the deed was executed
and placed on icc'oul.
Now , si\.s ho In his petition , she his gone
a few steps further and diiven him fiom
home After she got luspropert.v she seemed
to have no further use for him , but has ever
since made a pnctlcoof sulking him , belt
ing him , attacking him with an ax , threat
ening to Kill him and in other wavs giving
him an object lesson of what a henpeckccl
husband looked like She tin-illy drove him
from the house with his children and ho is
afraid to go back for fear that she will cairy
her thicat into execution.
Ho now demands that ho bo given a
divorce , and th it tlio deed to the property
above refutied to bo declared null and voi I ,
for ho alleges th it it was executed tlwougli
fraud and duress , and that theio was no con
sideration for it , tlio consideration of a
woman's loio which he was looking for when
his wife stood ever him with an ax. ordering
him to sign the deed , having proven a minus
ciuantitj.
A rnlMco shoo Store.
After a good eleal of delay neees-iitatoj
by tlio complete remodeling of the big
store building formerly occupied by tlio
wholctnlo cigar lunibo of Percgoy &
Moore , F. II. Evans is ready to receive
his friends and the public in the largest
and linest hhoo btoro west of Chicago.
The building o.xtemds through the block
from Pearl to Main street , with magnifi
cent plate glass fronts on each btreot.
The room is thirty feejt wide , and tlio
great elopth and high ceiling give r n Im
pression of magnitude that piopa es the
\ihitor ftv a conception of the mammoth
bt ck of goods that lills the shelves
reaching from the lloor to the coiling ,
sixteen feet high. li required a ijoO.OUC
stock to 1111 the shelves , and as
Evans cleaned out about all of
the old bto jk in the old Broadway
steiro during the great cut bale prior to
moving , nearly the entire stock is now
goods bought directly from the factories.
Tlio fixtures are of the newest and hand-
bomest designs , real works of art that
will repay inspection. The show windows
dews are largo enough for good s' ed
rooms and show their cjntents con
spicuously from front and sides.
, But it is the block that attracts the
most attention. It covers every grade
of footwear. Every taste and conilition
can bo batisfied. The stock of medium
priced and middle grade goods takes up
the greater part of the space , and this
line , as in the liner grades , ib so largo
and complete that every desire of man ,
woman or child can bo satisfied without
delay.
In prices , the great question that
concerns the public most , the fact miibt
not bo overlooked that Evans has never
been undernold , but has always been the
leader of low prices. He has furnished
moro genuine bargains te > the people of
Council Binds and Omaha and for sev
eral hundred miles around than any
other dealer. His new and hotter facili
ties for doing business and his immense
stock will give him a bettor chance than
over to give all classes of people bar
gains that are genuine ; and you can depend -
pond upon it that every roproientiUion
will ho honestly made , and that the
guatanty given will in every instance be
made good.
Mr. Evans is being heartily congratu
lated upon his enterprise , and ho enters
the busy spring season with the best
wishes of the people.

FRUIH'OKT , 111. , March 21. [ Special
Telegram to Tin : BKI : . ! The coroner's
jury impaneled to inquire into the my&-
teiious death of Mr. and Mis. Henry
Bocdecker. supposed to have been mur-
deied Saturday night and burned to a
crisp in their homo , ' began work joster-
day. Two witnusbcs.Herman Somers , the
man who bent in thu ajarm of Hie , and
Dr. O. E. Stearns , a physician , who as
sisted in the post nvKLom examination ,
testified. The citi/.ens have declared
that the matter miibt ho sifted t ) the
bjttom. Tnoie were present yestc.'day
the of the
at inquest representative-
various life insuianco companies in
which Bjodeekor held policies. The
fact that a man in such moderate
ciicumstaiiccs , with no children ,
should carry $27.000 upon his lifo
is coiiMdurecl remarkable. Of this sum
$15,000 is in aceiduiit- companies and the
the rest is placed as follows : New York
Life , $1,000 ; yEtna , M.tWO ; Mutual Ben
efit , $1,000 ; Modern Woodmen. $ : i,000 :
Knjghts of the Globe , 81,000 ; National
Union , $11,000. J. A. ( Jruin has been em
ployed as an attorney to repre-ont some
of the companies and H may bo neces
sary to prove that Mr. Btudecker'b death
was not suicide in order to collect the
face of the policies. Another imnort-
mit eiuoation arises which may cause lit
igation. Many of the policies are made
in favor of Mr& . Bcjudeekor. The couple
haa no children. If it can be proven
that Mrs. Boedcekcr mot her fate after
her husband , then the insurance will go
to her heirs. If it is proven that she
died before him , even though but a min
ute , then the money w ill bo payable to
his heirb. S-ine of the policies are not
pajable if the holder commits suicide ,
and tlio companies will see to it that the
affair is thoroughly investigated.
