S. 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.

Clorlniht Wlldnlrs Eugenlo Ulalr
A warm welcome always awaits Eugenlo
Ulalr when sho visits Omaha. 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. Her
support, whllo in n measure adequate Is by
no means what it should bo In ordor to
malto a perfectly harmonious cast. Mr.
James Carew would norhans bo a cood
enough John Oxon wero comparisons not
mado with William liriunwell, tho John
Oxon of last year, Percy Corko and
Elcanoro Moutcll give accurato portrayal
or tho common conception of Sir Chris
tophor Corvell and Lady1 Hetty Tantllllon
and aro deserving of cspeciul credit.
Miss Ulalr a engagement will close with

"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.

Tho second day of tho Nebraska nnd
Western Iown Retail Implement Dealers
association convention opened yesterday
morning with ubout 300 delegates In at
tendance.
J. J. Uuchanan ot Hastings was tho first
speaker In tho morning, taking for his sub
ject tho federation of tho various Imple
ment dealors' associations Into a general na
tional organization. Mr. Uuchanan referred
to tho national association formed at Chi
cago last Februury, und expressed the opin
ion that every s'jito and sectional organiza
tion should send delegates to the meetings
of tho uattoual body. Ho bolloved a strong
national organization would bo oblo to
forco many concessions from the manu
facturers to tho retailers.
II. R. Gould cf Hartlngton, who spoko
next, dealt with tho sharp competition for
tho binder r.nd hurvestcr trade, and as
sorted that a great deal of uunocessnry
labor nnd expense might bo saved if tho
dealers of each locality could ogrco among
themselves upon a timo of year for begin
ning tho canvass among the farmers.
T. C. Reed of Corning, In., J. E. Skadan
of Malvern, Ia and W. A. Collier ot Val
paraiso, Neb., also spoke on tho binder and
harvester question.
JIl'llNllo Action .SiiKUf'Htf'fl.
Tho discussion favored somo drastic ac
tion to prevent tho manufacturers from
putting canvassers in tho field to compcto
with local dealers.
II. P. Shumway of Wakoficld made n sug
gestion that teemed to meet with tho ap
proval ot tho delegates whon ho said that
nt futuro conventions sessions should bo
hold only In tho forenoon und In tho even
ing, lenvlng tho afternoon open for visit
to wholosalo warehouses and other Indi
vidual business affairs ot tho members. As
it Is now, tho nttendanco at tho cessions
is materially reduced by tho ubscneo of
delegates who havo business to transact
with tho Jobbers and manufacturers.
Stato Senator J. J. Trorapcn of Lincoln
gave tho convention a Jolly talk Just beforo

Tho nfteraoon session was brief, tho
principal featuro being n speech by J. J.

"Tho taxpayers of Omaha have got to
keep mo until spring," suld James Robin
son when lie was brought to tho city Jail
Wednesday afternoon for Mealing u pair
of trousers from Haydcn llros.' store. "Why
should I hustlo around In tho cold trying
to make a living when I can Just ns well
spend tho winter In this warm place, where
I have all I want to eat', with a uniformed
KCrvnnt to wait on mo and nothing to do
trom ono week's end to r.nother but eat,
sleep, smoke, read and play cards with
congbnlnl company? A fellow s a fool to
work In Omaha ln tho winter tlmo so long
as this graft can bo worked. Of course,
when the llowors bloom in the spring I'll
hit tho road, for It's not nt all pleasant to
spend the bummer in Jail. Till then, ad-
dreFB me lu caro of Chief Donahue."
Robinson was (-cleared from Jail Tuesday
afternoon after ccrvlng a thlrty-d.iy sen-
tenco for stealing nnd ho had Just left
tho Jail building when ho rnudu directly
for Haydcn llros. und lifted n pair of
trousers. Then ho calmly waited tho ar
rival of tho oillccrs, Patrolman Thomas and
Emergency Olllcer Haldwin, who placed him
under arrest.

would rather bo In Jail than outsldo ln

and waB arrested by Special Olllcer Greer

In speaking of thcso cases. Turnkey
'Jimmy" Kirk, tho voternn pollco olllcer,
snld: "What Omaha needs Is a workhouse.
whoro thcso petty offenders may bo mailo
to work hard. At present they nro tho
worst nuisances with which wo havo to
