The Nebraska City News of Monday 'evening gives time details of the doublu tragedy which occurred there Sunday evening , a brief outline of which was Published in tlto telegraphic columns of ' 1'hm : Bmc. The parties to the tragedy were well known , they having resided in Nebraska City front childhood , and huv fug been before the Public more or less , Ezra Stoplron A , Douglas was torn iii 1Viseonsin , January 10th , 18i5 , and came to Nebraska City with his parents in 1800 Hu received a conunou school education - ucation , audl being a surart , bright boy he always stood at tip head of his classes and it is doubtful if , when young , there was another Person in Nebraska City who had a larger circle of friends that f ho did. But in later years ho becautu taciturn and of a retiring disposition , ! Hu was a printer by tr.tdo , and the only surviving child of bur. and brs. John j Douglas , who are neatly crazed by the tragedy. t Mrs. Ezra Douglas was a daughter of , Mr. and Mrs , I. J Timemas who live about two miles south of town. She was t born in Tennessee , April 8. 1852 , and came with her parents to Misnouri in 1858 , where they lived for some two , years , and in 1880 moved to Nebraska. She was married January 29 , 1859 , to P. E. Anderson , by which union one on was born-Rush , who is now 13 years old. Last year elm get a divorce front Anderson , and this'spring was married to Ezra Douglas. 1VJion but a small girl f she united with the Baptist church , and has been a member ever einco. That she i was insane , no one ivIto is ac1uaintcd with Iter history will for anoumenb doubt , as it has been well known for the past ten years tltat site was afflicted with teaporary in- sanity. The first time she gave any evi- deuce of insanity was about elevot years ago , when she trtcd to kill one of the acquaintances - quaintances of a certain dry goods nian m this city. Then , in a sliott time , while living on the Big Stough , she disappcare l free home , and it was only after a two days search that she was found. It was several weeks before she recovered front this last attack. Since themi site has had % a uuutber of attacks , and has always f threatened to either kill somebody or connnit suicide. During the last year she has made five ine1l'octual attempts at suicide , but for seine reason no effort was made to have her sent to the insane asylum. Till : Cn13tf. The scene of the tragedy was m front of a sntallunpretentiouo , story-and-a-half frame building on the corner of Sixth and Kansas streets , owned by Joint Douglass and occupied by his son as his residence. His father and mother live in the adjoiniugbuilding. Sunday night about 7 o'clock Ezra Douglas and his wife started out and took a long walk , as was their custom , and those who passell then , say that they were chatting together as pie tsantly as could he , and both stoned happy. About 8 o'clock they retuned home , and sonic difTronce having arose between then , , they indulged in one of the petty qumtrrols winch occurred so frequently between then. Front the testimony brought before the coroner it scents that Ezra wanted to come up town , while his wife objected to hint so doing. It was this ( l uu'rol that led to time shooting. Those who witnessed the tragedy say that he locked her outdoors , refusing to ( give her nlhnittaico , and after sue tried to got in at the bawl : door , she cane , around on Sixth street , where they hmttl mutotlior exchange of words. Ezra's mother was et the sidewalk , and during the conversation which ensued ; she walked to where Ezra mind his wife were standing , and told her son to "UO ON UI' TOWN ; SIiI WON'T FOLLOW YOU. " i 1 Ezra , instead of taking iii8 mother's 4 4 advice , turned upon his wife amid threatened - ened to strike her , but did not do so. In n moment he turned and started to run up Sixth street , when his wife drew a re- -t1 volvor , which she had carried concealed under her left arm , mud fired at Ezra , the ball striking ( tint on time back of the loft side of the neck , severing an artery , and passing upward , cane out through time top of the head. After le was ehot , he staggered , and his wife , apparently with semi-consciousness , caught hint around the body , holding both urine close to hla side , and in this peeition staggered backward with him about twelve foot until - til they reached time sidewalk , with time revolver still in her right hued , when site released her hold of lam and nn FELL LiFELEes to the sidewalk. Seeming to realize what she had lotto situ stepped n few feet southward and fired another shot , which took no effect , and whore the ball wont I is still a mystery. Sip continued her J course southward until she passed her own door and reached the end of time ' ; , sidewalk when she placed Limo revolver at time right side of her head tutu fired , the ball penetrating the cavity of time brain l r about an inch above time right car , 'flee wound caused instant death , and site fell I blckward , her body rolling into a email welly , while her beau rested on a few , ' broken brick which this morning were ' + covered with blood , 1Vhiie time bodies t wuro lying in the poaitions in which they fell they were viewed by hundreds.
