Ed Hutchison Slioot.s and Probably
Fatally Wounds a Woman at
Lincoln.
IM Hutchison who seems to be in
pretty deep water jut now is an
old resident of this cits' and lived
for many years on a farm twelve
miles west of town. Mr. Hutchison
is a brother-in-law of Cal Parmele,
and his wife is an invalid. The fol
lowing account of the attempted
murder is taken from the State
Journal, which says:
"There has been a murder com
mitted up there," exclaimed an ex
cited old man as he stepped from
the door at the foot of the stairway
leading to the second floor of the
Kitchen block at 1523 O street.
The remark was addressed to a
number of passersby who had
nanru temporarily mere at the
sound of a pistol shot repeated sev
eral times in quick t-tuccssioii. The
old man who emerged walked hast
ily a few steps westward toward Fif
teenth street, passed a policeman
and wad seen a little later snapping
a revolver at his own head. It
failed to respond to the trigger and
the old man started around the cor
ner on the run; headed south to
ward the capitol and disappeared
in the darkness.
Meantime in a room on the second
floor of the block lay a woman with
a gaping wound in her back, moan
ing" in the deepest agon", while the
blood dyed her clothing and was
spattered around her upon the
lloor.
The excited old man was Tv. V.
Hutchison and the wounded woman
his victim, was Mrs. Jennie Green,
his paramour.
Last evening between S and t)
o'clock, so Miss Rice says, as does
also Gus Gilbert, the wounded wo
man's brother. Hutchison came to
the house to see Mrs. Green. They
were in one of the front rooms en
gaged in pleasant conversation
when last the other inmates of the
apartments noticed them. The
brother went into the bath room

A New Ferry Road.
TheR&N. folks have offered
rignt ot way alontr their old river
track to the ferry if our people will
simply make a good crossing over
or under the main line track at or
near happy hollow. This would
give us a lirst class road instead of
the hilly round about way that pe
ople are compelled to travel at the
present time. A good level road to
the ferry would bring a great deal
of trade from the other side that we
donot get on account of the bad
road. Mr. Petersen the proprietor
offers to make a round trip rate of
7.1 cents for team and load if the
new road is fixed up. The citr coun
cil could not do a better thing for
the town than : to make this much
needed improvement.

"The Little Tycoon" has scored a
popular success and already its
principal airs are being whistled
on the street. The libretto of the
opera is arausinjr and the music
bright and catch'. The costumes
are very handsome and the stage
settings very pretty, and Willard
Spenser, the author, is with the
company. You will miss a rare
treat if vou do not hear it next Sat
urday night.
During the time that Mr. Spen

nearly fifty comic operas have been
brought here irom abroad ana pre
sented, and yet "The Little Tycoon"
has outlived them all. It caught
the popular favor at the start and
has retained it to the full measure
for over two years. Crowds still
flock to see it under the author's
personal supervision. Only com

She had a husband named Green
in Minnesota, but what became of
him is not stated.
About a year ago or perhaps a
little more, she was arrested on a
charge of prostitution. She lived
then in the Sheldon block. In po
lice court a line was administered.
she appealed to the district court
and by some means escaped the
fine. She claimed when arrested
that she was a detective. She is a
large woman of passibly good ap
pearance, never seems to work and
always dresses well.
It appears to have been along
last June or July that the relations
existing between Hutcheson and
Jennie Green began to attract the
attention of observant people.
They made frequent trips abroad,
especially to Omaha, on the same
train, and often chatted together
sociably in the same seat. Then at
length the twain entirely disap
peared and were gone for some
time. Rumor has it that thev had
eloped. They had not been back
many weeks ere the scandal gained
publicity through the suit on the
notes.
The most vigorous search was
made for the missing man, but up
to 2 o'clock this morning he had
not been found.
