" Dealt With an Ax to William B. Johnson. His Wife and Her Alleged Para mour Mixed Up in It , The Pair Arrested and Con fined in Jail. Johnson Still Alive Bat Hi * Re covery Doubtful. About the hour church bolls were ringing yesterday morning and pious people wore on their way to the sanc tuaries , a horftc trader named John Evans fractured the skull of Win. B. Johnson witli an ax. Tlio difficulty occurred nt Johnson's house , which is on the north side of the railroad track , within n stone's throw of the foundry. It appears that some time since Johnson's wife , who in a middlo-agod woman , separated from him , not ) as far as can bo learned , on account of any harsh or cfuel treatment on his part. This hdy continued to occupy the little ono story frame house which Johnson owned , allowing that indi- vidqal to hustle about as ho saw fit. The woman claimed to have received a divorce from her husband. As no ono had over seen uny document to mihstantiato the statement , nnd as Johnson g had never boon summoned to appear before the court , the impression nmoii ! { the neighbors is that that there was considerable moonshine in the matter. Bo this as it may , for some time John Evans , who is a professional horse trader , has boon using Johnson's property with considerable freedom'lio loafed about the house the greater part of his time , and while the latch-string was always out to him , it is said that Johnson himself couldn't show his nose about the promises. According to neighborhood gossip Mrs. Johnson and the gay Lothario known as Evans wore on a wonder fully intimate footing considering tlio relations they should occupy to each other , and in a word wore as loving us two cooing doves on a bright May morning. Johnson drinks consider ably , and every now and again , when under the influence of liquor , liin domestic troubles would weigh upon his mind. Yesterday morning ho had boon drinking somewhat , and wont over to the house According to what the eye witnesses sny when ho rpazhcd the place the doers were barricaded. He then wont to the window in ono end of the house , and showed some intention of breaking it in with his fist , lie appeared to change his mind and , walking to the barn near by , secured - cured a pitch-fork. Returning ho smashed in the window nnd was about to outer when Evans , who Htood inside - side , struck him a blow on the right temple with the pointed end of an ax. Charley Wassman , who witnessed the whole affair , says the blood gushed forth in a stream and Johnson top- tiled over as if ho had bcon killed. A largo crowd of excited people , includ ing \V. At Noonan. Albert Rich and a man named Murphy , who had wit nessed the affair , gathered about , nnd for a short time matters looked seri ous for Evana. Telephone nrssagos were at once sent to police headquarters and the coroner's ollico , the impression being that Johnson was dead. City Jailer McClure procured a team , and , in company with Olllcor O'Dimohuo , started for the spot. They at once arrested Evans and Mrs. Johnson and took them to the city jail. The coroner arrived n few minutes afterward and found Johnson still alivo. Bandaging his head ho took him to the city jail and placed him in n cell. Johnson's clothing win smeared with blood , Ho seemed very feeble and complained of sovpru pains in his head. Dr. Lcia- curing , the city physician , was sent for , and on examination found that the outer table of the man's skull was fractured , with a possibility that the inner table did not escape uninjured. Ho dressed the wound and left the man in ns comfortable- position as pos sible under the circumstances. Ho paid several other visits during the day and in the evening pronounced the man in a precarious condition. Johnson was still able to speak when his cell was visited last night , but it was apparent that a cjiango for the worse had tukoii phxco sincemoriijng. . Dr. Leisonring said there wjvn n chance for his recovery if erysipelas djd not'set in. < , For a man in Johnson's condition a cell MI auch damp quarters as the city la a terrible plubo. ' The police iail mvo tlono everything possible to niako him easy and have no other place to put him , Evans , who did the deed , is a tall , well-formed follow , who wears a light mustache and goatuo. Ho claimed that while out near the stnblo some time before the occuirenco Johnson came along nnd apparently seemed disposed to pulvomn him. Ho wont into the house and lopkod the door. NYhon asked diroctly'who it was that struck Johnson , ho would not commit himself ono way or the other , but spoke very glibly about Johnson always trying to raise dis turbances. Ho claimed that Mrs. Johnson had scoured u divoro , but admitted ho had never soon the docu ment , Mitt. Johnson is still n rather good looking woman , though by no moans so handsome that thu ordinary man would rave over her. She was re leased on bail during the course of the afternoon , Her daughters are njar- riod io very respectable people living in the same portion of tlio city and arc comfortably located there. Late last night Johnson was resting very easily apparently , notwithstand' ing ( ho 6orioUsriBS8fpf , his i -X3ES.

Despite the threatening appearance of the weather quite a number of persons were -prov out , and the plasterers were very well represented. During the day the con tractors , Mcjsrs. Withnoll , Ittncr and and Bailey , paid a visit to the park. Tito committee of management maybe bo congratulated on the great success they achieved , everything being ex cellently arranged and nothinp occur ring to in any way mar the pleasant ness of the affair.

A Splendid Exhibition of Phys ical Training. The Tunivorrin celebrated the lOIIrd anniversary of Turnvater Jahn'f birthday last evening in Motz's sum mer garden. Thcro was a very largo attendance. Tlio programme was n very attractive ono nnd the nudiouco appeared to thoroughly appreciate the efforts the society had made to amuse thorn. Among the most notable feat tires were the gymnastic performances by the Turnvereins and the living statuary. The representation of the death of Theseus and the flight after the battle evoked loud applause. Some facts about Turnvater Jahn and his work will bo of interest to the readers of TJIK DKB. Turnvator Jahn was born on tlio llth of August , 1778 , in Freiburg , in Saxony. At the time of Germany's greatest troubles , in the beginning of the present century , it occurred to Jnhn that from want of physical training the youth of Germany wcro becoming degenerate and he deter mined to sock out a remedy. He managed to organize a little ( society in Berlin which ho called the Turnverein - voroin , nnd this was the commence ment of that great society which lias since spread itself all over Germany and America. At the present day there is not a town or vil lage in Germany without its Turnvcrein , nnd the government makes it compulsory on the superin tendent of public schools to have gymnastics taught. In America the society haslnado astonishing progress. At the present time there are > over UOO Turnvereins in this country , with a membership of about three thousand. There is ono very good feature about this society , and that is that no money pri/os are allowed. In imitation of the ancient Crocks it only awards wreaths , laurels or diplo mas to its successful competitors. It in a well known fact m history that the armies wh'ich conquered Na poleon at Loipsig nnd Waterloo were mainly composed of volunteers who wore pupils of Jahn. The society has other advantages to oiler its members in addition to physical training. It has literary , debating and musical classes , and last , but by no means least , an auxiliary ladies' societywhich lends very cflicicnt aid in a variety of ways. The Omaha. Turnverem was started on Junuary'20,187(1 ( , and now numbers between sixty and eovonty members , WAS HE ROBBED. A Badly Paralyzed Man Picked Up by the Police. Last evening about 9iO : ! o'clock n ulephonio message from Dan Burr's , in Thirteenth street , to the city mar- ihal'a ofh'co , called Officer McCuno to the scene of what was reported to bo a caseof highway robber } * . When the olllcor arrived at Mr. Burr's place 10 found a man apparently the worse For liquor. The man stated that ho had boon robbed of $15. . Ho was walking along the railroad track from the depot on Tenth street toward Thirteenth street , when ho mot a man who struck up a conversation with hint. After a few minutes a u third person overtook them nnd commenced io talk , As the three men wcro walking together and talk- in } , ' ' ! rt remark made by the first in dividual seemed to prove offensive to the party who was the last to conio np and ho made n pass nt him. It took effect as the scarred face of the man plainly shows. The man , after ho was struck , ran along the track till ho got to Thirteenth street , when he started down the stoop embankment which approaches the bridge. Ho was brought up nt the bottom with n swollen face and confused memory. Hu stated to Officer McCuno that he was an old resident of Omaha , having lived hero twenty-four years. Ho said ho owned a gotid bit of property hero nnd for that reason did not want his name to appear in the paper * He also stated that ho had boon the original proprietor of the first paper ever published in Nebraska. Ho was doubtless u drunken tramp printer out of work , without a cent. DIED , TBrMK.-OnAugu tl'JthWlllIoTimme , infant un of H. 0 , and Minnie C , Timtne.

An Unknown Gorman's Suici dal Act. Wonderful Sagacity Shown by a Dog. Porttonnlitios nnd General Now * Conveniently Pnrngrivpheili SICKENING DISCOVERY. TIIK rtmiEKYINO IIKMAIXB OK A MAN FOUND. Saturday afternoon , while a young man named Wilko , his mother nnd sister , who live in Strcctvillc , in the western part of the city , were gather ing wild grapes in the vicinity of W. S. Mayno's farm , they came uponn sad and sickening sight about twenty-five rods from the southwest corner of the farm , on the west side of the street that runs through what is known as "Duck Hollow. " Thcro they disco\orcd the remains of an unknown human being in the last stages of decomposition. The stench was so disagreeable that young Wilko did not linger long about the unpleasant scone , but repaired to police headquarters and informed Chief Field , who communicated the affair to Coroner Fnul. That Official ordered Constable Ilosccrantz to sum mon n jury. The following men were selected : II. P. Niles , Charley AVnltors and John Tomploton. An express team was procured , and the jury , with the cor oner , constable , Undertaker Morgan , nnd TIIK HKK reporter started to ox- nmino the scene of the ghastly spec tacle. When within about one-half milo the smell became perceptible , and it was through this means the decay ed body was found. It was indeed a sickening and sad sight. Mr. Mor gan , the coroner and Ray Mayno be gan to examine the remains. The first thing to attract attention was a bullet hole in the * temple , above the loft eye , showing plainly that the death was cither the rnault of murderer or suicide. On examining the ground n revolver was found about four mid a half feet from where the unfortunate ono was lying. It became apparent that the man had came to his death by a pistol shot fired by his own hand. A search was then made to discover , if possible , any writing on his person that would identify him. This resulted in the finding of a letter written in n fine Gorman hand , which , translated into English , read ns follows : "Whoever finds mo takq pity on inc. I meant well with men , but they did not mean well by mo. "I leave this world in all its pride and glory and go to another whore the Lord has provided a place for mo. " The writing and general appear ance indicated th..t the man was a gentleman of moro than ordinary intelligence. There was no name ap pended to the epistle , so all efforts to identify the stranger were without avail. The remains wcro scraped up , after they had been thoroughly drenched with a disinfectant by the undertaker , were taken to the city , where the coroner's jury , after listen ing to the reading of the paper found on the person of the suicide and hear ing the testimony of A. H. Wilko , re turned a verdict that the deceased , to them unknown , had come to his death by a pistol shot fired from his own hand. After the verdict was rendered the remains were buried at the oxpcnso of the county in Potter's field. The man at the time ho com mitted the deed was diossed in a checkered shirt with vest and panta loons pf a butternut color. On his person was found an old watch'chain. No watch was discovered. X cigar and a few cents in change comprised the remainder of his possessions. SAGACIOUS BRUTE. A WONDEUKUL BTOIIY TOLD OF A COUN CIL 11LUFFH DO < 1. There is a dog on the corner of Bancroft" street and Willow avenue , which recently displayed such marked detective ingenuity as to certainly merit notice , if not a star. This sa gacious animal belongs to M. G. Grif fin. It seems that Mr. Griffin was awakened in the night recently by the barking of his dog in his yard. Ho got up , took his revolver and went down thoro. Not seeing or hearing anybody Mr , Griffin repaired to his room and retired. Hut still Lee kept up his growling and barking , some- 'thing louder than before. Mr. Grif fin ngain aroao , wont flown stairs and stopped out into the yard with revolver ver in hand. The dog approached him , licked his hand and then ran nnd leaped over tlio fence. The dog ap parently meant his muster to follow him. This Mr , Griffin did so. Ho followed - lowed the dog to the cellar door of his store , and found that an entrance had been effected by breaking the hasp ott the same. Mr. Grillin entered the collar and notwithstanding ho missed nothing ho know some one had been in the cellar and had tried to got into the store above. At this Lee was satisfied and ceased barking for the night. Thu next morning Mr. Giillin's attention wus again called to loud barking by Leo , He stopped to the front of his store. The dog had stopped a man on the sidewalk and would not allow him to puss , The nentloman-at- largo told Mr. Griffin that if ho didn't ' take care of that dog ho would shoot him. At this juncture Mr. Grifiin invited him inside and there took the liberty of accusing him of breaking into his store thu night boforo. The man naid ho was insulted by such base insinuations , and started for the door , \\lion Lee followed him out and kept up his barking , Mr. Grifiin was so euro that ho was not mistaken , , that ho reported the case to police hoadquarterti. The man was arrested , and taken .before Ksijuiro Burke , where ho confessed that the dog had found him out , and that ho had tried to break into the store , but Leo kept him from nc complishing his purpose. Ho re marked that lip would Icavo Council IJlufls immediately and go over to Omaha , where ho did not believe that dogs could bo so highly educated. A TEST t'ASE. The case of the city vs. John Dunn was called in Judge Burko's court Saturday , and ns yet no verdict lias becm rendered. This grow out of Mr. Knabo'a old feud with the city. It scorns that that relentless stream called Indian creek has bcon inun dating the traveled way near Mr. Knabo's residence , in tlio upper part of the city , until tk * street there has become so narrow that teams are obliged to , or at least they do , in passing that point , turn on to Knabo's sidewalk. Mr. Knabc presented his grievances to the city recorder , nnd getting no redress as ho claimed , ho appealed to the city council. Failing before that body ho appealed back to the city recorder , taking Mr. Dunn out of which to make a test case. What thu court will do cannot bo said , but we are assured that justice will bo done. A WAn OF WOHDS. There was considerable music on lower Main street Saturday afternoon in the vicinity of Max Mohn's. It scorns tint two German factions ( that grow out of a case against Win. Plumor for obstructing the highway ) mot there and got pretty full of beer on their way into the city. Some of thorn were full of light , according to their talk , but when it came to a stand-up encounter , those who madu the most noise wcro least ready to c mparo muscular development with their neighbors. After disturbing the usual quietness of that locality for some time , they wore stopped by Max Mohn appearing on the scene , and informing the crowd that unless they desisted immediately ho would send for the authorities. This had a sooth ing effect , and peace was restored. AN INVITATION. John Lindo received the following letter Saturday morning : To the Commander nnd Comrades of Abe Lincoln Post , G. A.
