to visit him during the day , nntl llmllng the

Btiind.
Ho licnrd some ono groaning- Quickly
forcingnn entrance through n window bo
saw Ins uncle lying on a dot , covered with
blood nnil unconscious. The startled young
man called for assistance ami the police wcro
promntly notified.
Binccla appeared to bo dead. The Interior
of the stand looked like n slaughter houso.
Blood was spattered nil over the lloor and
bod. Illaccla's head had live gaping knlfa
wounds in it.
The man was taken to the Presbyterian
hospital , and nt 0 o'clock last night hud not
recovered consciousness. His attendants
Btnto that the man had been drinking. Ho
is frightfully Rashcd about the head mid Is
very weak from the excessive loss of blood.
ThamoBt tlangurotis cut Is behind the loft
car and the small blood vessels at the buso
of the skull aru several.
Wlmt tlto I'ullrc found.
Ofllccrs wcro put at work on the case , but
han obtained no clew up to a late hour last
night. They ascertained that Blnccla was
ECCII sitting outside his little box which ho
calls a store us late as 1 : ! ! ( ) yesterday morn
ing. Ho wa4 assaulted some time between
tlmt hour and daylight. There are bloody
linger marks on the door to the shanty and
the oHlccrs think ho was assaulted or In
jured In n light outside and buiug able to
reach his homo staggered there mid fell
exhausted from the great loss of blood , It
Is thought that the assault could not have
been made for purposes of robbery , as his
watch and W or 4-9 wcro found in his pockets.
There aru no signs of a struggle Inside the
stated , and from the door to the cot are
streaks of blood.
The victim must have become sick , ai he
vomited near the door , and when lound was
on the cot six feet away from the entrance.
Biaccla's stand is on the corner of n lot on
Fifteenth and Davenport streets , about
twenty-live feet from a house occupied by a
family. None of the family heard any un
usual noise , and no weapons wcro found in
the fruit sttuul , so that the theory of the
police that the assault was committed else
where seems plausible.
lilarcia is In a critical condition.
It was developed last night that Blaccla
had a quarrel with another Italian in front
of his fruit stand between 10 and 11 o'clock
Saturday night. The men did not come to
blows , but the police believe now that the
fellow returned about 2 o'clock in thu morn
ing and that the men fought to settle their
differences. The indications are that the
assault was the result of some feud and that
Biaccla's assailant Is the man with whom ho
quarreled early in the evening.
Caught at l.nst.
John Burkus was arrested by Officer
Mitchell yesterday afternoon on the charge
of forgery.
It Is said that this is the man who re
cently duped a number of Om'iihn grocori by
presenting forged orgcrs on Adolph Meyer
for goods.
Ho would take part of the order with him
and order the balance sent to tnc house ,
where the forgery was dotccted. It IB
alleged that bo also forged cheeks
on Fred Krug and Ernest Stunt
for J ! > 5 and $15 respectively. Just after
the arrest , Mr. Krug came along mid identi
fied Burhus. Mr. ICrug told Officer Mitchell
that ho would flic a complaint against the
man today. The prisoner is accused of pass
ing about ten forged checks ana orders. Ho
eluded the oflicors by moving from plaeo to
jiluco. Ho was located at the old Peabodv
house on Jones and Fourteenth streets.

became the central figure of a sensation at

wcro all extensively written up , and among
other things was mentioned the somewhat
mysterious tlndlngnf a zlnu box , containing
the remains of a babe , at thu doctor's resi

An effort by Bun reporters was made to
locate Dr. Poulson in Council Bluffs , whcro

As I nm not In his debt , and am too poor to
practice extortion upon , I did not send the
money , but liu kept his word.
About nuvuti years nyu I built the Krultvnlo
hospital In Alnuiciln county , California , and
my wife's parents inoxud In there , and other
members of the family. Hy tlcRiccs most left

I dli | not employ Mr. McJtinlltiutHldurliiK my

effort of extorting money under threuts.of

Uurlni : the month of October , 1801 , my wife
had u miscarriage. She became frightened by
thi ! matron at the hospital telling her a story
about a womiitilio minted to break Into the
house. Mrs. Hives supposed slio witi crazy bc-
cniiso hhoopoko Swedish. Tint happened Octo

wife turn deadly pale und nearly Taint , and
thu motion of thu child was not full from thnt
moment , but a sinking of thu nhdomcn und
Piilii aioumt the heart. October III ) , U ) p. in. ,
liiOl.tlio child was expolleil In decomposed
condition. 1 never report , such cases , but 1 ro-
pected this case verbally to tliu coroner. I
hud ti similar cuso nt Council HlulTs year.IIRO. .
Ilucnuse tny wife and 1 , wo both wished to
save ihu remains to be deposited In a vault
wo expected to build. I pioposed tokocptho

to deposit u jar In u vault , so I placed the
small pliicenta In alcohol und thu remains of
the prematuio child In a small zinc hox.
I expected then soon to Icnro for Council

The lawyer , McJunkln , of puio rovcnso

whttt 1 did. Our child ( lied from Intru utciltio

What McJunkln's next move will bo I do not

Unfortunately for the public the reporters

Uninlm ,
Fred Granthatn , the South Omaha young
man who mysteriously disappeared from
view n few weeks ago , Is now an inmate of
the Douglas county jail , with the charge of
embezzlement resting against him.
Qrantlmm for a number of years past wns
the contlilontlal clerk for Coffman Bros , ft
Smiley , the South Omaha commission IIrm ,
and always bore an excellent reputation.
The llrm placed the utmost conllilcnce in
him anil ho had charge of their llnanrcs. He
' i received moneys and drew checks , which , in
the aggregate , annually run up into the
thousands of dollars.
A few months ago ho led to the altar ono
of the loadliu ? young ladles of South Omaha
and his future seemed bright and promising.
They moved in good society and were among
the social leaders. Ono evening a few
weeks ago Granthtimwith his \f\to \ , visited a
sociable. Ho did not remain , but came back
later , and as his wife was not ready to go ho
again left , saying he would return in time to
accompany her home. That was the last
seen of the young man , and his disappear
ance was shrouded in mystery. All were nt
a loss to account for bis behavior , and his
family and friends suspected foul piny. A
search was instituted for the missing man
with the result that n few days later ho was
located at big mother's homo in Illinois. Ho
remained there a few hours and was put
aboard a train for Omaha. Ho never reached
hero , however , ana again all trace of him
was lost.

By this time ugly rumors concerning the
young man were alloat. It was charged on
the streets that ho- tempted fortune with
the cards and had lost heavily. A proprietor
of a gambling resort said that Gruiithaiu
wns in bis place on the night ho disappeared
and thnt he twisted the tiger's tall. Humor
also said that ho had lost heavily .and had
used his employer's money. These rumors
caused the commission llrm to have their
books examined. There was a startling
revelation. Grnntham , it is said , was found
to bo an embezzler to the inn omit of $1,000. ,
Steps wcro taken to locate him and secure
a settlement. The llrm was not anxious to
prosecute and desired a settlement only.
This they claim never to have brought
about , and then a complaint was filed clmrg-
ing Granthum with embezzling $1,000 , and
the warrant for his arrest was placed In the
hands of Deputy Sheriff John Lewis. The
ofllccr located his man in the wooded dis
trict near Marseilles , 111. , where Grantham
has a brother residing. Wednesday of last
week , arnica with the necessary requisition
papers from Governor Crounso , Mr. Lewis
departed for Illinois.
Kxtr.ntitoil from Illinois.
A visit to Sprlngflelil and a call upon Gov
ernor Altgeld resulted lu the papers for the
extradition of the fugitive being issued.
Then the deputy sheriff so't out for Mar
seilles. Ho found him at his brother's. The
young mau was averse to returning with the
oOlccr , and in this he was backed up by the
family present. They claimed v > have
effected a settlement with the commission
llrm and said that $1,100 in cash had been
paid over.
However , there was but one course for Mr.
Lewis to pursue and that was to bring Ins
man to Omaha. After a great deal of argu
ment ho succeeded in getting Grantham on
the way and arrived in the city with him.
yesterday afternoon. The young man was
then placed in jail.
Mr. Lewis says that Grantham Is as sound
in mind as any ono and that there is no indi
cation that his mind was affected , as his
friends intimated at the time of his disap
pearance.
A settlement of the case may bo brought
about without a prosecution , as it is under
stood the firm is not desirous of pushing the
young man.

yesterday morning l > y

that hnd cotigrepu-
_ tcd to listen to the word of God , ns ex
pounded by Uov. Dr. Coupon of Phila
delphia , and editor of the Christian He-
cotdcr and Quarterly Kovlow of the African
Methodist Kplscopul church of the United
States.
Dr. Coppon is a colored ninn and ono who
possesses ffoat brain power. Ho Is tin elo
quent and polished spc.ikcr. Yesterday
mornlnK ttui learned dlvluo addressed his
hearers , Informing thorn that the causa of
Christianity could bo easily espoused hy
these who follotrcd thti teachings of the
Lord anil wcro willing to understand the
nature of Ills coming into the world to save
it from sin. With Glirlst'scomliig lie broupht
a now cia of things , redeeming the world
from the cloud of darkness with which It had
been enveloped for ninny centuries. There
wcro many rconlo who wcro
ready and will
ing to crlticiso the actions und deeds ot
Christians , but that was expected , for when
the Savior was upon earth His actions wcro
the subject of criticism , especially when and
at tlto tlmo of His
dining with the tnx-
giithercrs. Upon this particular occasion
the people scoffed nnu naked of thedlsclplcs
:
"What kind of a leader have you that ho
will associate " and alt at the table with such
men ?
This , the speaker said , worried the
apostles und they at once went to Christ ,
tolling Him of the questions that had been
naked and the comments that had been
nmdp.
Dlvluo r.ovo of ( ! oI.
Smiling , the Lord told them that thcra
was no danger and that Ho had been sent to
help those who wcro needy and not the ones
who wcro whole anil washed in the blood of
the lamb. Christianity , Dr. Coppcn said ,
was for the
very purpose outlined tiy Christ
in the statement made to the twelve
apes
tles. Men were apt to forget this and over
value every thing except the love of God , and
this they \cro prone to regard ns the most
precious boon of u Savior who had died to
save a sinful world. Money was a good
thing to have ; it was hard to get and still
harder to get along without , but in every instance -
stance the value of money was overesti
mated , while In almost every instance the
love of God was undervalued and underesti
mated.
Hotter tliuu Ciolii nnil Glory.
There were men who would sacrifice
any
and everything for fume , notwithstanding
the fact that there was something better
than wealth or famo. and that was the un
dying love of God , which was as everlasting
as the eternal hills which were builued by
the hand of the Almighty.
Unhapiiiness , Dr. Coppon contended , wns
the root of all evil ; it was ono of the prime
couscs of sinfulness and an enemy th.it was
found in every community. It could , however -
over , be overcome If neonlo were more ready
to cast their burdens upon the Lord and seek
him when they .wore In need of relief. Man
was created to bo happy and the state of
unhappiucss was an abnormal condition. To
prove the sentiment ho
cited the lirst au-
pearanco of Adam unit Eve in the Garden of
Eden , Doth of whom were happy and con
tented until something appeared between
them and tholr God , after which hnpuincss
was an unknown quantity and had continued
to be such to u largo extent , at least , over
since. Unhapplncss was a thing that sapped
the very vitals , stole the bod.y and ucstro.vcd
n perfect pcaco of mind ; It was like a candle
that burned at both ends , eventually bring
ing about a condition which caused u lack
of confidence iu a creator of the universe.
"Why has God aakod you to place your
burdens upon Him ? " asked the speaker.
Continuing , ho said it was because do
was so great , because Ho was so powerful
ami because Ho was so holy. No mini could
look at the hills and the mountains , their
heads reaching to the clouds , without recog
nizing the power of God. His love , hownver ,
the speaker said , was greater than His
-works. Ho Jovod the people of the earth be
cause they were His children. Ho loved
them with a degree of devotion greater than
had over disturbed the breast of any human
mortal. If God took an account , of the tens
of thousands of sins which man committed
there was not a man who would bo saved ,
but Ho was forgiving , overlooking many
with n love that was incomparable on ac
count of its greatness.
This love was free to all , and could bo had
for the asklntr , tTio only requirement being
that mun should liuvu faith and follow the
teaching of Christ. *

Just a little Gumption
in the matter of washing , will lead
you to use Pcarline. Look about
you , and see the work of your friends
who use it. Isn't the
work easier ? Isn't it
better done ? Can't you
sec that it must be
. easier and better
without all that rub
bing that tires out
women and wears out
clothes ? Gumption
is the seeing why
and the knowing
how. You can't know
how to wash with the
v
least work and the most saving unless
, you use Pearline.
