Shoots Brother at Pacific Junction for Abusing His Wife. The Glenwood Opinion contains the following particulars of the shooting affair that occurred at Pacific Junction last Tuesday evening. The Perkins boys are pretty well known in Platts-mouth: Earl Perkins, nicknamed "Kelly" Perkins, was shot in the head Tues day evening by his brother, Wright Perkins, and still lies in a condition which makes it difficult to determine as to whether or not he will recover. Wright Perkins has been away during the evening and when he came home found that the injured man had been there in an intoxicated condition worry in his wife, and after some words fire the shot. Wright went immediately to con stable Zorns and offered to give him self into custody. He ii foreman of the section gang which works north from the Junction, is a straightforward, industrious man and enjoys a good rep utation in the community where he lives. The brother who was shot is a pecul iar fellow from the fact that he has an immense physical frame. He is a brother of "Jumbo" Perkins. For several years he has been a source of annoyance at his brothers home from the fact that often when intoxicated he would go there and annoy the fam ily. He has lately been warned not to come back, but did so on this occas- sion and suffered the penalty that he had been warned against. Wright Perkins has been away dur ing the evening, having been called to go with the wrecking train to clear the tracks after the storm at Island Park. When he returned at midnight his wife did not tell him of the annoyance she had suffered during the evening, for she knew of the threat that her hus band had made against his brother and she thought that he had escaped and would be spared. When Wright went to the kitchen for a drink he discovered his brother and commanded him to leave the place. For reply he was struck by a burly fist, and then he shot. He immediately went tc the home of the officer and gave himself up. The two then began a search for the in jured man, but were unable to find him until they reached the home of his mother, whither he had returned with out assistance. He was given surgical aid by Dr. Bacon and in the morning Dr. Bacon and Dr. C. H. DeWitt probed for the ball, but were unable to extract it. It is located in the right side of his head, just above the ear. If the wound heals satisfactorily he will recover but will always carry the bullet in his head, yet if inflammation sets in the chances of recovery will be small. Only time can disclose what manner of recovery will be probably made. The section foreman went to work yesterday morning with his crew of men, but was later brought to Glen wood to appear before J ustice Edwards on the charge of assault with intent to commit murder. No evidence was brought out this time as he waived preliminary hearing and was bound over to the grand jury and was re leased on a bond for $1,000 signed by R. M. McDonald, Sam Burgess and Copyngtit 1907 The Houae of Kuppenbamet Chicago V prominent man in this 0 community came into: our store the other day and ?aid: "I want to look at some of your good clothes."

A special from Wasington, under date of May 15, says: "The senate today passed a bill to appropriate $50,000 for u public building at I'lattsmouth. The figure will be added in the senate com mittee to the bill as it has already passed the house. The senate will also probably add $35,000 for an extenion of the building at Kearney, $50,000 for the construction at Fremont, and the same for the enlargement of the pres ent building at Beatrice." We understand that a telegram was received last evening from Congress man Pollard, apprising the people of the fact that the long looked for appro priation of $50,000 was a sure thing, and has nearly passed both houses of congress. We suppose we should feel very thankful for this sum, at the same time' several towns no larger than Plattsmouth are receiving this much for the extension of their buildings Beatrice and Kearney, for instance. Evidently Congressman! Pollard's close friends in this city feel very much elated, believing, no doubt, that act of congress will place a large red feather in; Mr. Pollard's hat to strut around and brag of what he as accom plished for Plattsmouth. This paper believes, as it has alway believed, that when a man is elected to a position by the people, he owed a 1 duty to those people, which he is bound to perform. And what Mr. Pollard has done in the performance of his du ties he owed to the people. It was what he was sent to congress for, look to the interest of his constituents, and J one of those interests was the securing i of a public building for Plattsmouth. Other congressmen in Nebraska have done the same thing, only to a much greater extent. The business men of I'lattsmouth naturally feel highly elated over the prospect of having a postoffice building. The.. fact is they should have had it long ago. They were entitled to it by all that is fair and honorable, but were tricked out of it by scheming politicians. This time it has been hanging fire for some time, and to Senators Burket and Brown, if the facts were really known, as much credit is due for this appro ation as is due to Congressman Pollard, This paper is perfectly willing that he shall have all that is coming to him, but we do not want his friends to claim that Mr. Pollard should receive the support of voters of this city, when he comes up for re-election, for simply doing what he was bound to do as a servant of the people, and has done no more than any other congressman would have done under the circumstances. n 300 PAIRS!
