Then I took my horses * mul drove down town. Before that , I met 1 n man who told nio ho had chased the other robber. The fellow said nothing to me except "Give up that box. " ( Here both revolvers , that used by the witness and that in possession of the dead man , wore produced hi court. ) The witness testified that ho had seen the revolver Botl by the highwayman. It was a Colt revolver. Saw the same weapon several weeks ago. The man who had it was a young stoutly built fellow. Uusually wore a white hat with a red handker chief around his nook. Ho told witness that he had just como from a summer's stay in the western territory "rounding up" cattle from Arizona to Montana. Ho told me that ho was working for Martin , the installment man.

The man who tried to do the shooting took to the north side ot the street , while the driver ran flown on the east side of the street , near Mr. Pop- pleton's residence. They were tiring shots across the street at each other. Pretty soon I heard a noise as ifqme one w as crying out , and then the driv or came back , saying that lie hail his man.

It will bo siion that the identitv of the lighwivvmau has been settled beyond the icrathciilure I of a doubt , as Walter lucklcs , the half brother of Mr. Martin.

At that imo she had not been informed of her sou's death , as it was feared that the shock might prove fatal. Duiiug the day she was told that ho hud been badly in ured and might die , lint the details of ho alVair were withheld. When the body reached llio IIOIHO she was detained in conversation with a neighbor in a back oem ami was unaware of what was jeihg done in the front of the house.

The funeral services will bo conducted his morning at 10 o'clock and the inter- nent will bo made at Prospect Hill cem etery. A ruSR nuMoii. It wns reported on the streets last night hat Iluoklo'.s accomplice had been cap tured , in. company with a woman sup- iosed to bo connected with the gang. I'ho report caused quite a little c\eite- iient , but it was soon proven to bo false. i'lto rumor was evidently based on the vrrcst of Pearl Baker , who was confined in the city jail for being drunk and dis- mlorly. The police , however , are on the lookout for the confederate , and arc working on a eluo which may lead to his arrest. Tlio assertion is made that if lie is captured some very staitling facts may be revealed. Illi : lUtlVKK TUUK.VTr.NUO. H. L. Wooldridgc , whoso unerring bul let ended the life of the desperado , was seen on the street last night by a reporter. Ho appeared as cool and collected as possible considering the expeiionce ho passed through tlio night betorc. In the fourso of conversation with him it was developed that he is a Canadian by birth , Ills native place being Toronto He also informed the reporter that during the day ho had boon approached ny a stranger who told him that it would bo best lor him to leave Omaha , as there were a number of men who did not care to have him remain in the cit.y. They are friends of Ituckle , so the stranger said , and proposed lo avenge his de.Uh. Wooldridgo , however , dignified his in tention to stay in town just as long as he wanted to. lie says ho is prepared for ail attack , but is of the opinion that none will be made. CAI.V lULTiI-JJ ) And Mr.KstcIlo l 'nlln to File Informa tion District Court. The proceedings of tlio district court yesterday were pushed through with true judicial expedition , and but for the oratorical efforts of Hon. P. O llawcs , would be void of interest. James llussell , charged with the rob bery of n grocery store on Cumiiig street pome time since , was arraigned and pleaded guilty. McKcnna and Bronnan , highwaymen , were brought in. Attorney llawcs , their counsel , at once made application for u change of venue. "May it plonso the court , " said Mr. Hawes. " 1 am convinced ihat in the feverish state of public sentiment my clients cannot lind justice in this distiict. Man , your honor , is a mall'actor. Ho was so Irom the beginning. His first act , even in the ( Jarden of Paradise , was to disobey the kindly order of his Creator. His next , if the court pleases , was in the murder ol Abel by his brother Cain. " AMr Havves dropped his voice im pressively from this exalted period , the court turned gravely to Mr Kutelle and asked M'\orelv , "has the district attorney filed information against this Mr. Caiuv The lobby , baillll's , clerks , ami all , got down uiuler the chairs and howled. Patrick Hoyland.cliargod with larceny , appeared before the court , but as no in formation had been liled against him by the district attorney , ho was discharged. John Eustis was brought before the liar of justice charged with grand lar ceny He entered a plea of not guilty and was remanded to jail for trial. In the civil branch of the court , Judgi' Wakeley proceeded with the case of Peabody - body against the city. Ilnllovv HVii Spoi'tH. To-night is Hallow o'en , a fact whicli is piobably known to a majority of Hit boys and girls of Omaha. It is the nlghl which for j ears past has been the tiuu for pliijiiig tricks upon the unwary , ami doing deeds of daring and deviltry. Oi : this night it has been customary to remove move gatus and signs from theii places and conceal them , ring dooi bells at unseemly hours , and indulge ii other senseless and vicious sport. There are plenty of methods for jouth ful fun on Hallow e'm without resort u outdoor rough ri y > toriu tor the pur pose of troubling people. A tint ) garni tor the evening , and one which is mos nluyeil in the romantic time , is divinj lor chestnuts and apples. The fruit o nuts are placed in a tub of water , am the playcie , with their hauds behint their backs , boh tholr heads under th water and bring up what they eau Ii their mouth * . Sometimes lonp rows of candle cmls , nuts ami fruit are tied ( o a string nrro s the room. The players , who arc blindfolded , walk toward Uio string , and without being allowed to make u i > ! of thrlr ecu e of touch , hi to at the dangling pri eo If they enteh a. candle limy uro compelled to cat it. Ulitnl man'o ImlV and private theatricals arc aho Indulged in , together with for tune telling and inesnieriMii. Romantic niaidens in New York mul Pennsylvania improve time-honored opportunity lo look ahead for n year by such mystic means as are customary l < > discover whether they nro to change their maiden condition and beeomi ) subject to the ty rant man. 'I'liero arc diflerent methods of peeping into the no.\t year , and one is fully as trustworthy as another. For in stance , a young lady lills her month with water , and takes a piomenadc with an c eort for a block or two. If on the wa\ , she swallows or ejects any of the. water , her chances are over for at least twelve months. Another method , equal ly elleetive , of getting a , glimpse of an intended husband ur wife , is for a candi date to retire with a looking "lass into a cellar. At the hour of mitmight the person glares intently into the mirror , and jusl as the ln > t stroke of twelve has died away , sees looking o\er his or her shoulder the iningu of the intended one. This 1ms meiit--.ts the a peculiar - - llgnro seen Is u-nally the one which i * already in the mind's eye , it is likely to bo that of the gentleman most in favor. There is no end of means for nice en joyment for Hi'llow o'en. ItnWAlU ) 01' UUAVKUV. A VopiiTiu * Testimonial to Hie Car Driver Who ICUlotl llio Ulsli- \\ii.vinan.

VAi.r.STiNi : , Neb. , Oet. 29. IKdilor of the Ur.n ] I read an article published in the lint : a few days since , advocating more liberal legislation and better facili ties for the HUiallor postotlices. Why should not the government build a post- ollice building in every county seat and other prominent towns of 5,000 inhabit ants. Of course it would cost a very large sum , but the people all over the country would receive the bonelit , and it would 'be done at the cost of the people. Largo cities get line govcrnmint build ings , but the small cities and good towns get nothing. Can not some member of jongress bo found to give the question mention next winter ? I do not want to dictate to congress , Hit my idea is that the towns should be required to donate a suitable and ccn- rally located lot , that the towns should .10 classed according to population , and ihat all places of the same class should lave the same kind of building ; that in etting the contract that parlies in each .own should have the job of erecting l\w \ buildings upon complying with reason able regulations.
