'About noon yesterday the police were
notified by telephone that n shooting nf-
fray of some kind hud occurred nt "Irish
Ann's" place , 800 N street 1-lro Warden
Nowbnry , Olllccr Malone and Dr. Heaeh-
Icy wont there and found a man snfloring
from n pistol shot wound in the right
temple. About the first words ho said as
the ollicials entered were1 did it myself -
self i no ono else is to blame. " Dr. licach *
Icy reported that the pistol had evidently
been held just back of the temple and
pointed in n slanting direction , the shot
culling the temple artery and doing no
further damage. This was confirmed by
the wounded man'a assertion that ho had
pushed Uio bullet out from muter the
skin , and the subsequent finding of the
ball , a 33 calibre , on the floor. A few
stitches repaired the damage , and put
the patient , barring a few scratches , in as
peed shape as hu was before the shooting.
U'iie landlady , in giving her version of the
all'air , said tiie man , who is a stranger to
her , went there yesterday morning about
10 o'clock , and after Making a few
minutes said ho had been drinking hard ,
and asked to be allowed to lie down and
slrep awhile. Ho was shown to a room
and nearly two hours after a shot was
hoard. Kntering there with ono of her
girls "Irish Ann" found that ho had
wounded himself as stated. The man
was identified by Oilicer Malone as J\
Lawrence , of Crcston , Iowa , married ,
and a 1J. & M railway engineer by occu
pation. Ills reason for trying to take- his
life , if ho had any reason , is not known ,
us ho refuses to say anything uxcepl that
ho alone is responsible for the transac
tion.
COL. I'OI.K'S UKATII.
Colonel Jlurr II. Polk , who died in this
city Saturday , was ono of Lincoln's old
est and best "known citi/ens. Anativoof
Kentucky , where lie was born in 183r , ho
entered the Union army at the outbreak
of the war , serving until peace was de
clared in 1805 , at which time ho wore a
colonel's shoulder straps. From 1808
until 187 ! ) Colonel Polk was a resident of
Vicksburg , Miss. , and largely engaged in
the cotton business. When ho came to
Lincoln some six years ago ho bought a
handsome house on L strdct , and in
stalled there Ins family a wife and three
children who are to-day sincere mourn
ers at the bier of a lamented parent.
Colonel Folk's death was duo to heart
disease , the symptoms of wnich wore
first apparent two years ago. In the hope
that a change of scene and climate might
have a beneficial oll'oet Colonel Polk
last winter made n trip down the Missis
sippi to Ills old haunts , but the hand of
death was already upon him , and oven
before his return had started to foreclose
Ids claim. The funeral will take place
from the family residence Monday at 2:30 :

SALK OP THE QII.LlSt'IE LOTS.
The sale of what is known as the Gil-
lispio property , six lots in block 153 , this
city , will take piano on Thursday next.
These lots , as is well known , came into
the possession of the state some years
back at a valuation of $4,500. They are
now appraised at an average of $2.225
each , and will probably bring something
more than that. The resolution under
which they are to bo sold requires that
tiioy bo offered separately , and knocked
down to the highest bidder. One-tenth
of the purchase money will bo required
in cash , and the balance can run for
twenty years at 0 per cent interest.
There are three lots fronting on G anil
Sixteenth streets , and three on G and
Seventeenth. Ono of the latter is what
Is known as the Glllispie homestead , and
on it is the old frame building where , for
nearly nineteen years , the family have
lived , the father and mother growing
old , and the children growing to man and
womanhood. This lot and house lias
been appraised at 50,000 , and as it is
Mrs. Gillespic's wish to bid it in at as
near that figure as possible , thorojs
a general understanding among in
tending buyers that they will not jump
the price on her.

of IlulVman to provide a suitable track.
Caustln claims that the arrangements
were left to Huffman , nnd that the latter
neglected to have a sawdust track made ,
and consequently the race had to bo de
clared off. Huffman , it seems , was will

but Caiistin was a little more particular.
