A. Knbody, n clock repairer, was show
a rcvolvsr to Ills young friend, Ike
Grossman. With tlio cnutlon Unit comes
of loug expcrlcnco In tlio handling of fire
arms, lio first looked nt the cylinder to sat
isfy himself that nil tho chambers were
empty, then passed It to Grossman, who, to
test Its action, "snapped" It several times.
There was n loud explosion, nnd Knbody,
pressing his hands lo hU throat, reeled
backward and exclaimed, "I am Bhotl"
Ilo rushed out upon tho street, whero ho
met his roommate, John Diner. Diner
started lo lead him to a neighboring drug
store, but b'eforo thoy hud gono a block En
body fell upon the pavement, unablo to
walk further. Ho was bleeding Internally
from u wound In his throat. Tho police
nmbillanco being called, Knbody was taken
to tho stntlon. where In nbout ten minutes
ho died.
This fatal accident occurred nbout 8:45
n. m. yesterday In tno Bccomi-nnnu store 01
Meyer Orossman, u peddler, nt 1107 Douglas
street. Tho storo had been "left temporarily
n rimr-o nt i.u nn. iUi. win, Hnvs be Is 16
vnarH old. but who doesn't look to bo over
10. Since his arrival In tho city from
West Hide, In., thrco weeks ago, Knbody hail
made tho Grossman shop his headqunrtcrs,
often engaging In thu barter of second-hand
articles with Its proprietor, or repnlrlng
clocks, firearms or gasollno stoves for him,
n m ho was considered n handy innn with
tools.
Tlio To Wore Friend,
Thcro was n cordial friendship between
him nnd Grossman's son. Yesterday ho
dropped In to show htm n quaint, old-fash
ioned revolver ho had picked up at what ho
considered u bargain. It Is one of thoso
nntlquo rlmllro weapons, 32-cnllbcr, tho
burrol of which turns upward on a hlngo nt
tho point whero It connects with tho cylin
der, permitting tho latter to bo detached.
"Tho first thing ho did after ho cntno In,'
said tho boy, "wns to tuko out tho cylla-
dcr to sco that thcro wero no loads In It.
I saw hltn hold It to tho light and look
through tho chambers. I didn't look
through them myself, but when I saw him
do It I supposed of coursa ho hnd nettled
thnt point, so didn't think any moro about
It, nud when ho passed It to mu I began
snapping tho hummer down upon tho chain
bers to Beo if it was In working order. I
wns surprised and horrified when I heard
the report nnd saw, him fall backward and
tny bo was shot. I couldn't bellovu ho was
shot nt first, as I couldn't sco nny blood."
Knbody, who wns unmarried, appears to
liavo been nbout 40 yenrB oldN In his pocket
wero found two letters, ono from Wabash,
Ind., and tho other from West Side, In. The
ono from Wabash addresses him as "Dear
uncle," and Is signed C. K. Heed, 227 North
Spring street, Wabash, I ml. Tho other,
written on n letterhead of Fritz Kvcr's sa
loon, West Side, la., Is from ono John
Schmidt, and acknowledges the receipt of
two Christmas presents from Knbody, n
cigar holder and n plpo.
Tho bedy Is now In tho hnnds of tho
coroner, who will hold nn Inquest upon It
today. Tho boy Is being held nt tho
pollco station. Thu police aro satisfied
that tho Khontlng wag purely accidental,
but think It ndvltlablo to hold young Gross

A worm welcome always awaits Kugenlo
IJlnlr when sho visits Omaha. This season
has proven an exception to tho rule only
In tho rcmnrknblo warmth of that aforc
mentioned welcome. It wns Indicated by
tho women who predominated at Miss
lllalr'H opening performance a matinee
Wednesday afternoon and wns taken tip
Jointly by tho man and women who filled
tho big theater to overflowing Inst night.
I.lttlo can bo unit! of Miss lllalr'H ca
pability In tho leading rolo of "A Lady of
Quality." So general Is tho opinion of her
supcrlatlvo excellence that Additional praise
wcro manifestly unnecessary. Sufllce It to
ar "'ai "iitir snows improvement
ovur hcr former efforts, and that Is saying
n great deal. Somehow she seems to bring
out tho finer, tho more dellcntc, tho more
womanly qualities of Clarlmln Wlldalrs,
tho woman, which contrast nnd condono
lomcwhat tho fnults of Clo Wlldalrs, tho
shrew, tho hoyden, tho untamed girl. With
n subtlety that is Irresistible sho makes
tho character appeal to one, even though
ho bo determined to find no good In tho wo.
man becutiso of tho fatal step of thu girl
Sho Invests CInrlnda Wlldnlrs with n won-
ueriui personality, attractive and com
mendable, and It Is, indeed, n hard-hearted
one who would think other than Hint alio
was moro sinned against than sinning.
It Is, however, of Miss lllalr that kind
words must bo spoken, ,for her vehlclo Is
encumbered with many llawa. To dlsputo
Its popularity would bo to deny tho sun,
but, novortholess, Miss HInlr's friends bo-
llevo that tho future holds greater thlngu
1,1 8toro for llcr t,mn "ooo sho has already
accompnsiicu. wiin n good play nnd n
capable company Miss Ulnlr will shlno with
a brilliancy surpassed by few.
Tlio play Is put on with an adequate
scenic Investiture, tho sceno of tho roso
garden being ono of tho prettiest Imagin
able. Hut when ono hits snohoii hlchlv of
Miss lllalr and of tho stagecraft acces
sories tiioro Is little moro to bo said. Hcr
support, wuiio in n mcasuro adequate is by
no means what It should bo In order to
mako n perfectly harmonious cast. Mr.
Jnmos Carew would perhaps bo a good
enough John Oxon woro comparisons not
mado with William Urnmwell, tho John
Oxon of laBt year. Percy Corko nnd
Klennoro Montoll give nccurato portrayal
or tno common conception of Sir Chris-
topher Corvell nnd Lndj Dotty Tantllllon
nnd aro deserving of especial credit.

"Tho Mystery of Hack No. 4" would bo
an appropriate title for n story, tho Incl
dents of which occurred Tuesday afternoon
and evening and In which figured Krcd
Trutloman, hack driver, and thrco Strang
nnn ,,, ,..i,nm u nnw ilrnrt. About 1:30
.. ... , . .. ,
tho afternoon Trutlcman, who was stand
Ing by his hack In front of tho Hurlington
depot, wns approached by two men, who
said thcywnntcd him to tako "their friend"
to tho Immanucl hospital. He was very ill,
they said, and Trutlcman would htfvo to
help them lift him Into tho vehicle. Ar
rangements hud been mado at tho hospital
for his rccentlon. Tho sick man wna u
wealthy grain buyer from Albion, Nob.
After tho Invnlld had been lifted Into tho
hack tlio two men who had negotiated for
his transportation dropped out of sight and
Trutlcman drove away.
At tho hospital Trutlcman wnB surprised
to learn that tho arrival of his passenger
had been wholly unexpected. No arrange
mcnts had been mado for his reception. Ho
wan still further surprised to learn that tho
sick man hair no money and was unablo to
pay his hack bill.
In li Dj iiiK Condition
As tho man was evidently lu a dying
condition, however, tho Institution con
scnted to tako him lu, and ho was given
tho best medical attention. The housn
surgeon found him to be suffering from
Ilright's disease, uud thcro was also evi
dence) of an affection of tho heart. Ho
wns suffering great pain. Terribly bloated
und scarcely nblo to speak, ha managed to
mumhlo n fow words In (lermnn, but ns no
on B,t.lho 1snl,a nl " tlmo. B,(e a?r'
man his talk was for tho most part unln
telllglble. Ho tried to spenk his narao
and to tell whero he was from. Tho namo
sounded llko Kochuy Julius Hochuy. Not
satisfied that they had understood tho nnma
correctly, the attendants asked him to spell
It, when ho attempted to do, but without
making It any, moro distinct. Ho spoke
tho namo of tho town, "Ord," however,
qulto clearly, and It is believed that his
homo wns there.
At 11 o'clock the patient died,
Officer Fleming, who Is on duty at tho
Ilurllngton depot, remembers speaking with
tho two men who wero lu charge of tho
Invnlld, and Is qulto posltlvo they snld ho
wns from Albion, Neb. Ho snys the men
were strangers to hltn.
Tho body wns taken to tho undertaking

hold nn Inquest upon It today or tomorrow
Thero Is little doubt expressed but that
tho deceased died a natural death

speaker lu the morning, taking for his sub
ject tho federation of the vnrlous Imple

tional organization. Mr. Ilitchannn referred
to tho natlonul association formed at Chi-
cngo last February, and expressed tho opln
Ion that every s'nto nnd sectional organiza
tion should oend delegates to the meetings
of tho untlonal body. Ho bollovod a strong
national organization would bu able to
forco many concessions from thu manu
facturers to tho retailors.

"Tho tnxpnyers of Oiutiha' have got to

bou when ho was brought to the city Jail
Wednesday afternoon for ttenllng u pair
of trousers from Hnydcn Ilros.' store. "Why

I have nil I want to eat', with a uniformed
servant to wait on mo nnd nothing to do
trom ono week's end to t.nother but eat,

In speaking of these enses. Turnkey
"Jimmy" Kirk, tho veteran pollco olllcer,
said: "What Omaha needs Is n workhouse
whero theso petty offenders may bo madu
to work hard. At present they nro tho
worst nulxnncuB with which wo havo to
