All INTERESTING CHAPTER
Taken From a Romantic Story of
Real Life ,
A Talc or Tlirco Persons and Ihtco
Cities.
Saturday af tbrnoon in the United States
district court a decree of divorce was
granted to Mrs. Abblo Cooley from her
hmbaud , William Oooloy.
Back of this apparently uninteresting
legal event is a history , Interesting and
romantic in no small degree so romantic ,
In fact , that in chronicling In detail the
history of the nfTilr a largo element of the
extraordinary must enter into the story.
It seems that in the year 1872 , at
Vittsburg , PA , , William Cooley , then
connected with the Pennsylvania railway
company , married a young and handsome
widow , Mrs. Abblo Rico. Among other
effects that Mr. Oooloy fell heir to by
this alliance was a pretty and precocious
little girl , the daughter of Mrs. Rico by n
former husband. Everything wont
smoothly for some years , until Cooley ,
who has in his nature a dash of the gay
Lothario , became criminally Involved
with a young girl , a certain lloso More.
To avoid scandal , vs soon as the criminal
liaoon was discovered , Cooley determined
to leave the scene of his troubles. Ac
cordingly , without informing his wife of
his intentions , ho came to Omaha She ,
howovorthoughainartlng under the Indig
nity odored to her feelings and affection ,
determined to como to her husband and
take him once more as her "only and
own. " She joined him In this city , a re
conciliation was affected and for ten
years the couple lived together. During
this period Cooley was in the employ of
the Union Pacific railway. A dissolute ,
drunken rascal , the husband was contin
ually ill-treating Ida wife and no largo
share of happiness vouchsafed to the
couple in their marital relations ,
In 1832 Mrs. Cooley placed her daughter
tor , now blossoming into womanhood , in
A convent at Salt Lake City , Utah.
About this tlmo , also , she loft Cooley
and took up her abode in the convent
with the daughter , hoping by separation
to secure that peace which lifu with her
drunken husband had made impossible.
Mr. Cooley , as soon as this
phoso of affairs presented
itself wont to the local courts and pro
cured a divorce from his wife , on alleged
grounds of Infidelity , claiming that she
was living in open adultery with a Salt
Lake man , ouo Ralph Brown. The wife
being unable to appear and disprove the
charges against her honor , the divorce
was granted. Oouloy'a evidence , it is
needless to say , was a fabric atlon from
beginning to ond.
A few months afterward in the summer
of 1882 , Mrs. Cooley returned to Omaha ,
unaware , of course that she was a di
vorced wife. As soon as she arrived in
this citj , Oooloy called upon her , and
with penitence profound , informed Mrs.
Cooley of the divorce which ho had ob
tained. Ho bogged her , in conclusion ,
to allow him to re-marry her and once
moro enter with her , the "Colds of by
monbal happiness. " She consented and
'tho two were once again made man and
wife.
wife.Soon
Soon after this Mr. and Mrs. Cooly re
turned from Omaha to Green River ,
Wyo. Hero Oooly feel into bad com
pany. Ho entered upon a wild career of
debauch and revelry. Heartoick and
disgusted with her husband's course ,
Mrs. Cooly determined to leave him at
once and ferovor. She came to Valley
and took up her abode with friends.
Hero , for the first time , she hoard the
story of how her husband t- > secure a dl-
vorce , had befouled her fair name and
preferred against her baseless charges of
criminality. Acting on advice , she at
once appealed for a divorce ,
which was granted. Saturday ,
although the suit bus boon pending
for well nigh a year and a half.
The lady who takes the loading part In
this realistic drama is intelligent and re
fined. She has amassed a considerable
fortune by careful saving and is now be
yond all nojd of aid. She is determined
to listen to no moro overtures from the
faithless husband. It is understood that
ho is now in the east , whore ho is engaged -
gaged in railroad work.

"Thirty days on broad and water. '
"Hold on , said Howard , "I haven't

FURNEVAL THE FIEND ,
the Nance Ceim-y - Murders ,
Strons Proof that Ho Had Ac
cessories in the Crime *
Concerning tlio Trnjtcav. Here
tofore Unpublished , Given
Below.
The mystery which surrounded the
nnco county horror , when first diicov-
red , still remains unsolved , Occasion-
lly , however , a bit of now evidence is
rought to the surface and a ray of light
rosaca the pathway of these who have
ndortakon to thread the darkness en-
eloping It. From Mr. Chauncoy Wiltsc ,
gentleman well known In this city , and
war osldent ot Fullerton , in Nance
ouuty , many facts additional to these
icrotoforo published were obtained last
ivoning.
The motive which might have led the
mnrdoror dr murderers to commit the
rlmo have been investigated in all their
illTeront bearings , Revenge , jealousy ,
oli-dofonso , robbery have all boon caste
o ono side. The impression is constantly
[ rowing , and in the minds of many
iss reached conviction that
ho murder was committed for hire , to
> btain the inheritance which by iho Eug-
ish law of descent would inevitably have
jpou loft to the unfortunate Porcival or
us hoirs. It is now definitely known
hat this murdered man had an undo , Ja
member of the English nobility whoso
iimual income
IS MOKE TIIAN , 50,000.
Between the nobleman and the mur-
Icred Porcival as next of kin is the lat
er'a oldest brother , a victim of consump-
ion and otherwise broken down In
icalth. Who will inherit this uncle's
iropcrty in the event of the death of
iis two nephews is a subject now being
nvcstigatod but upon which no informs-
Ion as yet has boon obtained.
Since the coroner's inquest many now
trcumstances have been broupht to light
which furnish the indisputable conclusion
hat Furnival not only committed the
rlrao but also had accessories. Not long
go ono of Furnival's shoos was found
ovorod with blood , and brain matter
upposod to have issued from Perclval's
sst gun-shot wound. The buttons , bnck-
es , etc. , of his overalls , coat , and other
lathing wore also discovered where ho
tad burned them to destroy the evidence
which otherwise would have boon loU
gainst him. Only last week his
slicker" or
IlUDREll OVE1JCOAT WAS POUXD
whore ho left it in the corn-field near
fullerton the day after the murder ,
" 'his ' discovery does away with the
lioory that Furnoval did not leave Nance
onuty by rail a it was known that he
ere a "slicker" into Fullerton and the
manwho boarded the train had none.
Another important piece of ovidonca
as been laid bare by the discovery of a
ard near where Balrd'a dead body was
onnd. Across the corner of it written
iy Furnoval were the words , "I will stay
lore until to-morrow and see what my
hances aro. " What their import waa is
.ot definitely known but they point to
ho irresistible conclusion of ouo or more
ccompllces.
Some two weeks ago an Englishman
wearing a heavy buffalo coat catno to
"allorton and played
THE HOLE OF DETECTIVE.
Ho said ho had known Furnoval and
bat ho was Intimate with a girl whose
whereabouts could bo learned from a
nan named Butler , who lived between
? ullerton and Central City. He said If
10 could see Butler he wonld learn
whore the girl is and from her find out
where Furneval might be. Ho was di
rected to his man but has not been seen
since. It Is thought he came to look
ifter Furnoval's property and got what
information he could in his interest. The
detective pretended to own a farm in
3tio of the southern Nebraska counties ,
but it Is stated upon good authority that
suoh is not the case.
The Edmonson boys and their farm
band , who lived in the immediate vicinity
of the murder , and who wore suspected ,
iavo silently stolen away. About six
weeks ago the employe left and since
: hon the brothers have sold their pro
[ > orty and their whereabouts is now known
; o no one. Another party named Clark ,
thought to know tooj much about the
murder , Is now kept under survollanco
ind his every move guarded to prevent
tils escape.
The theory now is that Baird was first
Murdered , then Porclval's wife , then her
luaband , and last Mair , Furnival's part-
aor. _ It is now thought that the doot to
jho ) sitting room of Porcival'a house ,
WAS 1JROKKN IN IY HIMSELF.
The theory is that coming homo from
town about i > p. m , and not finding his
wife in the kitchen ho broke open the
sittlngroom door which was locked ,
in the excitement of the moment in tryIng -
Ing to light the lamp scatteaod the con-
: enta of the match box upon the floor.
Joeing hb wife lying senseless npon the
leer ho took the brandy bottle from the
shelf and when ho saw she was dead
dropped it upon floor and started for the
itablo. After bringing out his pony into
the yard ho was shot , the animal running
down past Edmunson'a whoso reluctant
testimony was that they saw a bridled
tnd riderless horse run by their place
.hat . night. All the surgeons who exam-
nod tne body of the dead woman say
that she waa not outraged but that she
nas terribly beaten and gagged.
Another suspicious circumstance Is the
fact that the Edmounona did not hear the
shots which killed Berclval. They lived
inly a short distance away and were in
the windward A lady who lived consid
erably beyond them testified to hearing
throe distinct shots on that night and at
about the hour , it la thought , when Per
cival came homo.
The hunt for Furneval is by no moans
jlvon up. All tbo avenues by which in
formation might bo obtained concerning
lilm are kept open and it is thought tc
be only a matter of time when they wll
all be brought to answer for their crimes ,

New Port of Entry ,
Mr. Max Meyer received a telegram at
noon yesterday stating that 'the senate
iad passed the bill presented by Senator
laadorson making Omaha a port of entry
or the Immediate transportation of duti
bio goode. This was also followed by
Associated Press dispatches detailing the
amo matter.
Tno news is received by the merchants
f Omaha with great satisfaction , os
pcclally by tboso who are identified with
ho largest business Interests of the city ,
[ ho advantages which will accrue from
his new important change are manifold ,
'n the firat place all goods conveyed will
> o transported immediately without the
customary delay. Such goods , under the
low regime , will bo traneferred directly
rotn the vessel to the bonded sealed car ,
and will bo forwarded without delay tc
Omaha , as the port of ontry. This will
do away with long and vexatious delays
attendant upon the holding of goods In
ho New York custom house. This will
make it possible for the goods to bo op
iraisod and given into the hands of the
iropor owners within 24 hours.
The bill has now to pass the lower
lonso of representatives before It can become -
como a law. The genorai hope la ox
grossed that Nebraska's representatives
vill see to it that the measure is success
'nlly pushed.
