coln, arrived in the city last Sunday
night to attend the funeral of Mr.

John Hoff, who has been confined in
the county jail here since last- August,
plead guilty to manslaughter in district
court last Saturday and was given an
indeterminate sentence in the pen- i
itentiary of from one to ten years. '
Hoff shot and killed George Purnell '
in the home of Thomas Marren in At

over a quarrel regarding some liquor
that Hoff accused Purnell of taking.
John Sullivan and his daughters,
Miss Mary and Agnes, came from Lin

Mrs. Conrad Wetlauffer left last
week for Ontario, Canada, where she
will spend the winter visiting her
mother and relatives. It has been
twenty-nine years since Mrs. Wet
lauffer left her Canadian home and
she is anticipating a very pleasant
visit this winter.
A letter received by a friend from
Allen Nesbit, who left last week for
Riverton, Wyoming, where he will
enter the lumber business, announces
that things are booming in that little
city and he looks for a good business
the coming year. He is now busy
having buildings and sheds erected for
the Birmingham-Nesbit Lumber Co.,
of which company he is secretary and
manager. The president of the
company is Thomas Birmingham of
this city, who was engaged in the lum
ber business here for over a
quarter of a century, selling out his <
interests in the Galena Lumber 1
Company of this city something over 1
two years ago. Mr. Birmingham i
knows the lumber business like a book
and he is of the opinion that the <
company will do a splendid business <
in the Wyoming town that they have i
located in. 1

In District Court. I
District court convened in this city !
last Monday morning, with Judge ]
Dickson upon the bench. :
The first case taken up was that of | <
the State of Nebraska against John J.
Hall, charged with stabbing Willis
Hopkins on the streets of Ewing last
June from the result of which Hop
kins died on July 10.
For the trial of this case Judge
Dickson instructed Sheriff Grady to
call a special venire of twenty-five
men so that there would be sufficient
tailsmen on hand from which to select
a jury. |
Practically all of Monday was spent
in selecting a jury, the regular panel
being exhausted and twenty of the
twenty-five tailsmen examined before
a jury was secured. The opening
statements of counsel for the state
and for the defense was made Monday
afternoon and court then adjourned
until Tuesday morning when the ex
amination of witnesses commenced.
The case has progressed very
rapidly and the examination of
ivitnesses was completed this after
noon and argument of council will be
started this morning. M. F. Harring
ton and J. A. Donohoe are counsel for
the defendant, while A. F. Mullen is
assisting County Attorney Hodgkin in ,
he prosecution. Twenty-six witnesses
vere called and testified for the state, .
vhile the defense used eighteen.
From the evidence of witnesses on
>oth sides there does not appear to be
nuch controversy regarding the ,
acts in the case. It appears that Hall ,
'eared Hopkins as the latter had made
hreats that he would lick Hall. About
he only controversy among the
(fitnesses is as to the number of blows
truck. It appears that on June 27th,
he day of the stabbing, Hall and Hop
fins were both in Ewing, and met on
he side walk. Hopkins accused Hall
if talking about him and after a few
vords struck Hall. He struck him
hree or four times, different witnesses
liffering as to the number of times
lopkins struck him, some testifying
hat it was four or five times. During
his time Hall stabbed Hopkins with a
tnife. One of the witnesses testified
le seen the knife in Hall’s hand and
een him strike at Hopkins with the
mife, but did not see him when he
ecured the knife.
The defendant was placed upon the
tand and swore that he feared Hop
fins as the latter had made threats
hat he would lick him. He said that
m the day of the trouble he was in
Ewing on business. That he was
fisiting with some ifriends on the
itreet and had his knife out and was
vhittling a stick that he held in his
land. He started down the street to
iee a party, still whittling the stick.
When he reached the street crossing
>n the alley where the trouble oc
curred Hopkins came across the street,
iccosting him and accusing him of
ying about him and hit him. He said
hat he did not know what became of
he knife after that. One of Hall’s
ons testified that his father was
lartly down on the ground when he
truck at Hopkins with the knife, but
ther witnesses testified that the men *
were both on their feet when the cut
ing was done.
Arguments in the case will be made
tomorrow and the case will be sub
mitted to the jury some time in the
afternoon. Following are the names
and postoffice addresses of the jurors
