A, Knbndy, a clock repairer, was show ing n revolver to his young friend, lko Grossman. With tho caution that comes of long cxporlenco in tho handling of fire arms, ho first looked nt the cylinder to sat isfy himself that nil thu chambers were empty, then passed It to Grossman, who, to test its action, "snapped" it several times. Thorn was a loud explosion, and Enbody, pressing his hands io hla throat, reeled backward and exclaimed, "I am shotl" J lo rushed out upon tho street, whero ho met his roommate, John Diner, Diner started to lead him to a neighboring drug store, but b'eforo thuy had gono a block Utl body fell upon the pavement, unable to walk further. Ho was bleeding Internally from a wound in his throat. Tho pollco ambiilanco being called, Knbody was taken to tho station, where In about ten minutes ho died. This fatal accident occurred about 8:45 a. ra. yesterday in tho second-hand storoof Meyer Grossman, a peddler, at 1107 Douglas street. Tho store had been 'left temporarily in cliargo of his son, Ike, who says he Is 16 years old, but who doesn't look to bo over 10. Slnco his arrival hi the city from West Hide, la., thrco weeks ago, Knbody had mado tho Grossman shop his headquarters, often engaging In tha barter of second-hand articles with its proprietor, or repairing clocks, llrcarnis or gasollno stoves for him, ns ho was considered a liumly man with tools. 'Hip Tit ft Were FrlemlN. Thcro was n cordial friendship botween hi in and Grossman's son. Yesterday ho dropped lu to show htm a quaint, old-fuah-loncd revolver ho had picked up at what tio considered n bargain. It is ono of tboso untiuuo rlmllro weapons, 32-callbcr, tho barrel of which turns upward on a hinge at the point whero It connects with tho cylin der, permitting tho latter to bo detached. "Tho first thing ho did after he camo In," said tho boy, "was to tako out tho cylin der to sco that there wero no loads in It. I saw lilin hold It to tho light and look through tho chambers. 1 didn't look through them myself, lut when I saw him do it I supposed ot courso ho had sottlcd that point, so didn't think any more about it, and when ho passed it to me I began Hiiapplng tho hammer down upon tho cham bers to seo if It was in working order. I was surprised and horrified when I heard the report and bow, him fall backward and say ho was shot. I couldn't bcllevo ho was Hhot at first, as I couldn't sco any blood." Enbody, who was unmarried, appears to Imvo been about 40 years old In his pocket woro found two letters, ono from Wabnsh, lnd., and tho other from West Side, la. The ono from Wabash addresses him as "Dear uncle," and Is signed C. K. Ilccd, 227 North Hprlng street, Wabash, I ml. Tho other. written on a letterhead of Fritz Evcr's sa loon, West Bide, In., is from ono John Bchmldt, and acknowledges tho receipt of two Christmas presents from Enbody, a cigar holder and a plpo. Tho bedy is now in tho hands of tho roroncr, who will hold an Inquest upon it today. Tho boy is being held nt tho pollco station. Tho pollco aro satisfied that tho shooting was purely accidental, but think It ndvltiablo to hold young Grots- man until after tho Inquest. Diner, Enbody's roommate, says tho do ceased spoko several times to him after tho accident, but said nothing that would lend him to bcllcto thero was shooting. malico in tho LOUISA METZ IS 'A BRIDE llrcoini'M tin 1'iiiicU AVIfo of Ai'tliur Curl of lllooinlii;;loii, Illinois.

This season has proven an exception to tho rule only In tho remarkable warmth of that afore mentioned welcome. It was Indicated by tho women who predominated at Miss Iilalr'H opening performance a matinee Wednesday afternoon and was taken up Jointly by tho mou and women who filled tho big theater to overflowing last night. Llttlo can bo snld of Miss Ulalr's ca pability in tho leading rolo of "A Lady of Quality." So general is tho opinion of her superlative excellence that .additional pralso wero manifestly unnecessary. Suffice It to say that Miss Ulalr shows Improvement over her former efforts, and that Is saying u great deal. Somehow she seems to bring out tho finer, tho more delicate, tho moro womanly qualities of Clarlnda Wlldairs, tho woman, which contrast nnd condono somewhat tho faults of Cio Wlldairs. tho shrew, tho hoyden, tho untamed girl. With a subtlety that is Irresistible sho makes tho character appeal to one, oven though ho bo determined to llnd no good in tho wo- man Decnuso of tho fatal step of tho girl. huo invests Clarlnda Wlldairs with a won dcrful personality, attractive nr.d com mcndablc, and It is, Indeed, a hard-hearted ono who would think other than that alio was moro sinned against than sinning. It Is, however, of Miss Ulalr that kind words must bo spoken, ,for her vohlclo Is encumbered with many Haws. To dispute its popularity would bo to deny tho aun. but, nevertheless, Miss Ulalr's friends bo- llovo that tho future holds greater thlngii In store for her than those sho has already accomplished. With n good play and a capable company Miss Ulalr will shlno with a brilliancy surpassed by few. Tho play is put on with nn adoquato scenic Investiture, tho sceno of tho roso garden being ono of tho prettiest imagin able. Uut when ono has sliokcu hluhlv of Miss Ulalr and of tho stagecraft acces sories thero Is little moro to bo said.

"Tho Mystery of Hack N'o. 4" would bo an appropriate title for n story, the Inci dents of which occurred Tuesday afternoon and cvculng and In which figured Krcd Trutlcman, hack driver, and three strang ers, ono of whom Is now dead. About 4 :30 In tho afternoon Trutlcman, who was stand- lug by his hack In front of tho Hurllngton depot, was approached by two men, who said thcyiwantcd him to tako "their friend" to tho Immanucl hospital. He was very 111, they said, and Trutlcman would lufve to help them lift him Into tho vehicle. Ar rangemcnts hud been mado at tho hospital for his reception. Tho s ck man was u wealthy grain buyer from Albion, Nob. After tho invalid had been lifted Into tho hack tho two men who had negotiated for tils transportation dropped out of sight and Trutlcman drovo away. At tho hospital Trutlcman was surprised to learn that tho arrival of his passenger had been wholly unexpected. No arrange tncnts had been mado for his reception. Ho wan still further surprised to learn that tho sick man had" no money mid was unablo to pay his hack bill. lu n DyliiK Condition. As tho man was evidently lu a dying condition, however, tho institution con ecntcd to tako hlra iu, and ho was given tho best medical attention. The housn surgeon found him to bo Buffering from Hrlght's disease, and thcro was also cvl- denco of nn affection of tho heart. Ho was suffering great pain. Terribly bloated and scarcely able to Bpcak, ho managed to mumble n fow words in Qerman, but ns no ono at tho hospital at tho tltno spoke Ger man hln talk wus for tho most part unln tclllglblc. Ho tried to speak his namo and to tell whero he was from. The namo sounded llko Ilochuy Julius Hochuy. Not eatlsiled that they had understood tho imina correctly, tho 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, quite clearly, and it is believed that his homo was there. At 11 o'clock tho patient died. Officer Fleming, who Is on duty at tho Hurllngton depot, romembers speaking with tho two men who wero In charge of tho Invalid, and Is qulto positive they said ho was from Albion, Neb. Ho says the men wero strangers to him. Tho body was taken to tho undertaking rooms of the coroner, who will probably hold an inquest upon it today or tomorrow. Thcro Is little doubt expressed but that tho deceased died n natural death. South Omaha Nows .
