Homo Ittilldlng Scheme.
The Council lllulls Building anil Loan
association is just entering upon its tenth
year , and for an institution which has
done so much for its members and for the
city , it lias hardly received its share of
public notice and encouragement. One
of the reasons of this is probably that it
is purely a mutual institution , and has
been doing its work quietly. There are
no salaried ofliccrs , and no ono can get
any special profits or emoluments , the
gains being divided evenly among tlio in
dividual members. Now that the a socin-
lion has been successful for a term of
years , it can no longer be looked on as an
experiment. The facts and figures as
shown from the history of the organi/a-
lion are striking in some respects. Hun
dreds of portions have been enabled to
build for themselves homes , and pay their
rent into their own pockets ; the city has
the advantage of having many residences
bulltwhich otherwise would not bo here
to-day , and persons have been given an
opportunity to invest small savings In a
profitable and safe way. The
details of how the organization
is conducted cannot bo given
fully , without taking lee much space and
proving tedious. The results seem im
possible , but the facts are at hand to sub
stantiate them. Those who have bor
rowed from the association to build
homes with have only had to nay about
0 nor cent for their money , while those
who have put Ihcir savings in have real-
i/.ed nearly 12 per cent interest on their
money.
An institution which can lend money to
its members at 0 per cent and yet pay 113
per cent interest on the money borrowed
scums to be u strangely arranged ono ,
and yet an examination into the work
ings shows that such can bo done. The
principal and interest is paid in monthly
installments , and thus lent right out
again , and interest in kept earning inter
est , while the borrower , being a member
anil getting bis share of the profits , gets
bis interest cut down low.
The plan is simple , safe and time lias
proved that it is practicable. Itisa good
scheme for tmv one preferring to have : i
homo to paying rent , while it is an
equally good scheme for any ono desiring
to save : i certain amount monthly aim
invest it profitably.
A new series is to be opened the 1st of
March , and thus an opportunity given of
other members starting in.
The eighth annual report of the a sooi-
ation has been prepared by the secretary ,
William Arm ) , ready for presentation to
the meeting to ho held March 1. The re
ceipts in the dillcrent scries amount to
$12 , .1.-J7.
The oldest scries , A , was started in
1877 , and there is an undivided balance
of IS ! ! . ' . ) ? to the credit of the shareholders
in that class.
Series 1 > has been closed up and the
shareholders paid in full.

A telegram in the 15 EK a few days ago
first gave news of the killing of G. II.
Uow&cr , of Silver Creek township , and
the wounding of J. T. Preston in Now
The following letter received yesterday
by Mr. J.V. . Damon of this city gives
Inrther particulars :
KL PASO , Tcvas , Feb. 10. Dear Sir : As
a painful duty 1 mast write about the sad
all'aii that happened to our friend , G. 11.
Howser , on the Othof this month. 1 am
the party who met Bryant , Sherman and
parties and accompanied them to the
state of Sinatoo , the place where we had
located. All parties were well pleased
with the property , and Mr. Howscr made
up his mind at once to return with me
and arrange to remove at once to the
mines. Wo left Guadulopo by Calve on
the 1st of February and everything went
well until at noon on the Oth , when two
Mexicans came into camp ju > t as we
were saddling up to break camp. 1 hung
my revolver on iny saddle while Sir.
Hbwtor's lay upon tlio ground near whore
the saddle nail laid. Ono of the Mexi
cans walked up to where Hawser's
revolver lay and asked if it was for sale ,
1 spoke to Mr Howser , saying "don't
let him get hold of your revolver. " mid
he walked around his lior.se and , as I
supposed , picked up his revolver. But
tlio Mexican had picked it up instead. 1
was busy living on our coffee pnt , to our
pack horse , ami the no\t thing Mr. Haw
ser snoko and said "what does ho moan ? "
I look around and the Mexican .stood
with the revolver presented at Mr. How-
ser and fired , killing him instantly. The
tire of the revolver caused my hor.se to
jump and left mo opposed witliqittmy re
volver. Ho then fired at me twice before
I could get hold of him. His second shot
took cllect in my loft arm. I wrenched
the revolver from him and snapped it
twice tit him then ran for my own and
firud five shots at him as lie ran away ,
I then walked to where Mr. Hawser
lay , hut he had stopped breathing ,
I placed his hat over his face
and had fo ride forty-five miles for help ,
the nearest town being Parral , The au
thorities sent out a party under an olllcer
to bury Mr. 11. and also to look for Hie
murderer. As yet I have heard no news ,
but am expecting to hear at any moment
and will write \ou again as soon as I do ,
1 iiuvo his revolver hero by mo. He hiis
a horse and valise and some blankets , 1
will get them unless stolen by passers-by
before the otllcurti get there. I will rest
here : i couple of days before I go to
Lordsbunr , Grant county , New Mexico ,
which will bo my address for the next
month , Any information or any ques
tions nskcd by his heart-stricken lamily I
urn ready to answer , 1 would hnvo writ
ten them but did not know their address ,
Hoping to hear from you soon , I remain
yours truly , J. T , PHU.STON.

lluiuliij ; Her Jtitslmiul.
Mrs. IM.4. \ . Dibble was married to her
husband in Wisconsin about eight years
ago , and they have lived together hap
pily and peaceably over since until about
six weeks ago , when ho disappeared in
.such a manner as to lead her tiicnds to
suspect that ho had deserted her. For
live years they wore residents of Council
BlutVs , and resided on Tenth avenue , he
being employed at the transfer. About
a year ago they moved to Weston , a t'ow
inilos from hero , where ho bought n farm ,
Six weeks ago lie sold out at Woslon
and 'jtartod for Indiana to
look after eighty acies of
land owned by his wife. In about threw
weeks ho wrote to her to sell off all the
household furniture except the bedding
nnd follow hinf , as ho had decided to set
tle on the land there. Ho informed her
that her brother , who resided nl the same
place , was very anxious for them to re
main then ; , and wanted to see her very
much. When Mrs. Dibble reached her
destination she found that her husband
had not been there nl all , and no one
know where ho was. Subsequent
investigation showed that although
the letter was dated from Indiana ,
it was really written , or at least mailed
from some point inVicon \ in. Mrs.
Dibble cannot account for the desertion ,
nnd has remained with her brother. For
tunately they had no children. His many
acquaintances here \vill _ be considerably
surprised nt his unexplained action ,

A Surprise Alt Around.
Some time ago the press dispatches
contained the information that Judge
Love , of the United States court , had de
cided to send back to the circuit court
here the saloon cases sent there for hear
ing. It now appears that Judge Love
has made no such decision in regard to
the Council Blurt's cases , although he has
made such a ruling in regard to similar
ca > es from Kcokuk. It has been ex
pected that the eases being sent back
here , they would be called up at the pres
ent term of the court , and would bo
passed upon probably by the issuance of
injunctions. With this latest revelation ,
such a prospect is dashed to the ground.
The eases will hardly get disposed of
now. This announcement conies as a
surprise to those on both sides of the
question.

Shooting at Silver Oily.
Silver City was startled yesterday by
the report , which proved only too true ,
that a young man named Hastings , re
siding near that place , had been found
dead in his father's home , with a bullet
hole in his temple over the right eye. A
neighbor called yesterday morning and
knocked at the door. Receiving no response -
sponso ho looked in the window and saw
Hastings sitting in a chair. Ho attempt-
to rouse him , but finding it useless ho
broke open the door. . A revolver was
lying beside his chair. It is believed that
the snooting was accidental. The family
were absent at the time visiting friends
in a neighboring town. Hastings was
about 20 years ot ago and was one of the
promising young men of that section.
J'ho coroner was summoned from
