seem to hnvo been a failure to pay

found that Pulin had

to hold him.

and had but ono cartridge In it when

directly to the ithootinc ; ecems to have
bt-gun dining fiUto f ir week , when
Mrn. Putin eamo to Omaha accom
panied by Mutteor. It ia claimed that
ut the time the Utter paid her
momw duo her husband for board
and she neglected to give him any
thing to show for it in the way of a
receipt.
HUB DID MOT KETUllN
to Plattsmouth from thit city , but
wont ever into Iowa to visit friends ,
Polin , it appears , had several times
dunned Muttoor for the amount which
the latter claimed Kirs. Polin had
written to her husband that it was
paid and had also cent him
something in the form of
a receipt. The husband being aw&ro
that Mottder had received a commu
nication from his wife , suspected that
it waa something inoro than a business
letter and determined to got poises-
sion of _ it. Molteer had made a trip
to Louisville , from which ho returned
on Friday evening , and it ia stated
that Polin had boon on quito a spree
and was just bracing up from
its oiloots , The former had
quit boarding at the Europeau
restaurant on ucount of the disputed
bill , and had gouo to board at Our-
ran's | ro tiurint. On the morning
following his return , Saturday , his
former landlord wont
ON THE WARMTH
after that letter , and he said to Sheriff
Ilyors , whom ho met on the streets ,
that "unless Mettoer gave up the letter -
tor ho would shoot him , " but the of
ficer took no block in his threats. Ho
then went to Our run's restau
rant and asked for Mettoer who was
sitting inside , and who cauio out and
joined him on the street , Polin then
domnntlod the letter hla wife had
written which Mettoor refused to give
him. The two walked on to Polin'a
restaurant and entoroi the frontrooni.
The building n a one-ctoty frame div
ided into three rooms , thofront | ono a
sitting room , the next the dining
room and the third the kitchen. The
doors opening into each nro all in the
contra of the partition walln and on a
line with the front door. Ai the two
men entered the sitting room , Bjvorly
Givcns , a colored mari , waa standing
at ono side of the front door and nays
ho know from the expression on Polin'u
face that there was going to bo
ANA'NVFDLnOW.
Polin led the way into the middle
or dining room , followed by Metteer
who was not anticipating any row , but
expecting to have u quiet talk ever
the who In matter. Arriving in the
dining room , the proprietor stopped
to the door leading to the kitchen and
cloned it after which ho returned and
walked ever toward the stairway
leading to the attic dory , to the left
of the door through which Hottocr
had just entered. The latter ntood
nbout four feet away and
to the right of the door ,
having a bundle in ono hand.
The door leading to the kitchen had a
cubby window in it und through
thia lira. E. Parroy , the
cook , aaw the movements of the two
mou. No words passed between
thorn , and the first thing she saw was
whou Polin suddenly drew the revolver
and nimod it at his companion.
UK" . PARREY SIIBEIKED ,
and at the earno instant was hoard the
report of the revolver , the ball from
which was sent with a too fatal aim.
It entered the forehead of the
unfortunate victim abouta half an inch
abcvo the right eye-brow and seems
to have plercnd ita way through to the
baao of the skull , whore the ball split
and a portion of it rebounded with
tuch force as to pass out of the fore-
hcud about an inch and a halt directly
above where it had entered , leaving
the appearance of two separate bullet
wounds. The wounded man fell over
backward on the floor , right upon the
flit of his back , unconscious , and
with the brains oozing through the
ghastly wounds on his forehead. His
murderer walked coolly to the door
and au ha wont to go out turned and
lookccl with
A DIABOLICAL RMILB
of natUfiod vengeance at his victim.
Ho went straight down Main street to
Second where ho had soon Sheriff
Hyers and saying "I've killed that
follow , " gave himself in custody. Thia
was at 0:55 : in the forenoon.
Mettcor was picked tip by these
who were attracted by the shot and
who met Polin coming out and aaw
him putting his weapon in his pocket ,
and WHS carried by them to a room at
Carnvn's restaurant. Hero ho lingered
all day at tho'p&int of death , being
visited about 11 'o'clock by his wife
and daughter , from the former of
whom ho WB divorced about six
months ago and by whom ho had a
son ndw fifteen and a daughter some
what younger. At 0 p. in. the unfor
tunate man died , haying remained un-
concoioun from the time of the shoot-
iog. A coroner's jury was impannellod
and
THE INQUEST
began at 0 p. m , , lasting until 2
o'clock in the morning. The jury
consisted of H ssrs. Holloway , P , B.
Murphy , J. N. Ssgo , J. Farthing ,
Chambers and Sliegel. The post mor
tem revealed the fact that the portion
of the bullet which had remained in
the brain weighed 70 grains and that
which rebounded out weighed 02
( trains. After hearing the testimony
the jury returned a verdict which was
in otfeot that the death of Metteer
waa a premeditated murder.
The remains of the murdered man
were burled yesterday under the aui-
pices of the Temple of Honor , of
which ho waa a member.
Polin , being visited at the jail , waa
found taking the matter very coolly.
Ho afftiotod sorrow for the deed , but
claimed that ho had only drawn his
pistol to scare Motteer , and the Utter
grasped it , and in the scufllo it was
discharged. This , however , ia consid
ered
TOO TUIK
and is entirely refuted by Mrs.
P rrey , who witnessed the whole
affair. The whole affair is looked
upon by the citizens of PUltsmouth
as a cowardly and deliberate murder ,
and while neither of the men were
necessary to the welfare of the city ,
they foci that justice should bo meted
out to the perpetrator ot the crime.
The grand jury concluded iti labor *
Saturday before the final adjournment of
court. The following additional billn u cro
reputed ! W. A. Shepardaon , for larcen > ;
Jacob Theiti , fiu' obtaining ijoods under
fulso pretences ; Solomon C. Ho'landcr , f > r
arson. Their report included the condition
of the jail an follows : "That wo have
visited the county iail and find it excellent
ly managed nnd BOO no reason for special
attention of the court. "

Synopsis of a Sermon by Rev.
J , Hawha ,
OtLer Iteiii'-s of Interest in the
Saint ) Connection.
The pastor of the Suoond Prcaby-
torian church , Rev. W. J. Hatslui ,
having read part of the G3d chapter
ot laaiah and part of the 14th chapter
of St. John , at the Sabbath morning
aorvico , took hia tttxt : "I will come
again and receive you untoMyoelf. "
John 14:3 :
Tno following nro eoino of the
thoughts brought fo.th in the dis
course :
Salvation consiata of the appearance
of God to man and inm ; to God. The
ono is the cause and the other
the ollect. Wo receive Imprecgiono
of the love of God to man as indi
cated in the verso , but we do not look
at it then logically , and if this were
brought to our minds logically , it
would enrpriso us to see the depth of
ita meaning ,
From the Old Testament , which is
so full of apt pictureu and prophetic ,
wo select two scones : First , the ap-
poarancoof God to man ; and , second ,
the appearance of man to God.
The watchman on the wall looks to
ward Edorn and SCCR ono approaching
from liozrah , glorious in Ilia appear
ance. What ia this ? It is ono com
ing from victory , no one having been
found to assist him , ho hoa tread the
winepress alone.
In the third chapter of the Song of
Solomon we see the glory of the
chutoh presented. A figure is seen
coming out of th , wilderness like a
pillar of smolo. These in the world
are floating from the wilderness of
desolation and unrest of conscience to
the pluco whuro tlui typical inlluenco
of the ono clothed in crimson raiment
is folt. This wn see in the atonement
three factors. First Divine holiness.
Second Human sin. Third The
divine human person.
In this divine holiness 'hero is a
pathos which spesks forcibly to the
Christian who has experienced the
pleasure of receiving the divine gift.
Christ comes to man. Wo are ftwaro
of the antithesis botwcon the two ,
still they meet. And the only pos
sible moans of grace is the coming of
Christ to man.
But thcro are those of the world
who dislike to have their dignity
trampled under foot by a gift for
which there has been no compensa
tion iinde by them. Arid they nho
object to the stern lawa of God. They
cannot worship while standing , in the
preaonca of those uncomely objects.
Go then behind the Lxws to the holi
ness of God and mm will find it im-
poesiblo to escspo being accountable
to the holiness ot this Supreme Doing.
In the puraon cuming from Bozrah
there was innatoatrength which caused
him to come through the country of
the ouomy. IIis garments nro spoken
of as being crimson BO often to im
press upon the mind his divine purity
his nbhorance of and victory ever
sin. But this inato power is not in
man ; ho has it not.
From man we simply ask justice ,
but of God wo shrink from asking
justice and oak mercy rather. Thus
we see the pathos in the words of the
Sou of God when ho says : "I will
come again. "
The simile in the scriptures , "God
is light , " may be used forcibly hero.
The light truly may be obscured , but
it can never bo Impure. When a hand
partially hides the sun it may bo
looked at , but ono cannot open his
eyes to _ admit the light of the BUII
when it is shining in its lull strength.
The cloud of human sin hanga heavily
between man and the face of God , es
pecially before the minds of some ,
while they easily examine and com
ment upon Ilia characteristics. The
angels in heaven cry not to Him
power ! power ! power ! or justice ! jus
tice ! justice ! but holy ! holy ! holy !
A man says I will be perfectly hon
est and pay all my debts , and thereby
free myself from punishment of God.
But God says emphatically without
holiness no man shall BOB my face.
Human aiu. Some desire to lift
themselves heavenward by comparing
themselves with others , and adjust
ing themselves to their own satisfac
tion. I am not aa bad as that man ia
always the conclusion. And It ia dan-
gercus for a vessel to be stranded on
these quick sands.
It is not a few sins that a man must
exorcise , but it ia the morally impure
condition of the human mind ; end
this is well pictured iti the 03rd o
Isaiah , If the Isrnclitei. left the cnmp
they were in dangtu ot being abducted
by the enemy and takua to Bozrah ,
and ohould evil como to the camp
they were over miudlul of their living
enemy. In like manner ia Satan wag
ing a warfare with the human mind.
During the rebellion if any soldier
were to raise his cap above the en-
trcnchmont it would be immediately
riddled with bullets from the enemy ,
and u man attempting to raino himself
above this human entrenchment becomes -
comes a tarpct for the evil onu. Hu
man Bin h the only thing that debars
us from God.
And in the second part of the verso
there is pathos : "To receive you un
to Myself. " That I may open to you
the gate , through which whou you
pass you'will bo able to look upon the
face of God and live , hitherto with
held because of tbo influence of sin
upon yon.
It waa in the garden of Eden where
Satin poisoned the waters of the river
which flows to us , and in the garden
of Gothsemino wo ECO one fighting
against the influence of this poison
upon humanity
3. The Divine person. Wo must
not worship the dccfnno of the atone
ment but the atoncr. The text reads
"I will corno to you again. " There is
: t personality. In the lirat picture we
BCD a struggle from the enemy , in the
Second a struggle to tlio enemy , but
hero wo find them combined , and
Christ must tread the wine-press
alone.
Scientists have discovered different
forces , but hnvo united all these
forces in one which is called a correla
tion of forces , for ho is nblo to tread
the wine-press alone. Ho does this
so willingly and thereby prepares the
way for man but man is BO unwilling
to be saved.
The Egyptian brand , which repre
sents a man kneeling with his hands
tied behind him nnd a sword at his
throat , manifest * the work of the CPU-
science. It is not that the word of
God is the originator of superstition ,
but is an indicator of a true religion ,
ae truly as rv counterfeit indicates gen-
nine currency or coin.
Some fay como down from the
cross and I will buliovo. Or take the
blood out of the atonement and there
will bo many to follow you. Without
shedding of blood there is no remis
sion. Should wo take the pilot from
the ship before wo venture on the
ocean ? By no meuns.
It differs little whether Christ came
before or after death , but in either
place ho will take you to Himself.
The victor taking home those for
whom He died.
