The Kullcrton Horror.
It is now nearly two years since the
details of the shocking quintuple murder
known as the Ftillorton , Nance county
horror , wcro published in the HUB. It was
In the early part of the winter of 1831.
Four adults and ono child wcro found
murdered. The perpetrator was and
still is unknown , but suspicion now is
firmly settled upon the man who in all
probability did the deed , and who for
a long time , it was thought hud
also fallen a victim in the butchery.
This is the man Furncval , who has not
been heard of since that time. The
theory of the crime , hold up to the pres
ent time , is that Percival , who was the
third to fall in the bloody work with his
wife , had been gotten out of the way In
order to remove the possibility of his over
laying claim , as heir to immense cstatos
in England. That theory has now fallen
to the ground , and another has taken its
place. It is hold by everybody In the
vicinity of the scone of the murder , and
bears a plausibility which the other
lacked. It makes its first appearances in
the HIK : , and was received through Hon
orable John Hush from John Whithoy the
next neighbor of Furnivai.
Furnoval owned ICO acres in Nance
county. Ho was living with u man
named Meyer. Each took turns of a
week in attending to the domestic duties
of their homo. In that homo wcro cur
tain chattels upon which Furnoval had
given a mortgage for $200. The time ot
tlio pajmont ot this sum was near at
hand , and Furneval was anxiously ox-
icctlng money from the cast to satisfy
li t. Ho went several times to Central
City and Fullcrlon to seq if the money
had arrived , but only to find that it had
not come. This made him nervous and
irksome. Ho even requested his neigh
bors to inquire for the. desired letter lor
him when ho was unable to go to either
of these towns himself. On the Saturday
night before the murder Furneval in
quired of Mr. Gates if ho had brought a
letter for him , but was informed that
nothing had arrived with his address.
The next day , Sunday , was the day
upon which Meyer was to commence to
take charge of the household affairs for the
following week. That day , Furnoval had
bpent playing cricket. On Ids way home
1 .s opped at Gates'and asked the latter
if he had seen Meyer that day , and was
told that Meyer had not been around.
Although naturally an easy-going man ,
when aroused it was known that Furno
val was possessed of most resentful and
violent feelings. These ho began to
show before ho left Gates' plaeo by bitter
denunciation of his companion who ne
glected his duty. Ho then started for
homo. Later Meyer made his appear
ance at Gates' and asked if Furneval had
been seen. Ho was informed that Furno
val had just left and was In a very angry
mood. "Yes , " said Meyer , I suppose
he'll make it warm for mo , " and then
started for home. Funioval quarrelled ,
and later , when the former had retired to
bed , Furnoval shot him through the chin
and tot ) of the head.
Percival was 0110 of the nearest neigh-
bora. Esvrlv in the morning a man of
his , named llaird , who was a friend of
Meyer's , called to see the latter , while
Furnoval was digging a pit to bury'him
in. Haird discovered the mur
der and was hastily running ( b
spread the alarm , when Furncval
ehot him from behind The body was
not found for some time , aiid was , then ,
supposed to be that of Furncval. That
night , Monday , Percival had just pot
back from town , and had driven hip
horses to the barnwhere Furueval asked
if ho had any news for him from town.
Percival stated that ho had not. Where
upon , Furnivai who had now become a
demon in heart , in search of money to
make his escape , shot Percival as ho was
carrying his arms full of hay to feed his
horses. The murdered nian dropped
upon the hay ho had been holding and
never stirred. Furneval then wont to
the Perelval's ' house. Ho know the latter
hud a tin box containing $100. He de
termined to secure its contents. To do
this ho killed Mrs. Furneval , who was
oneoluto at the time , as also -her child
who wus but fifteen months old. Ho
then rilled the box , and with the blood of
fiix human being , as it were , dripping
from his hands , made his escape. His
tracks have boon so effectually covered
that lie has not been apprehondeu.
Mr. Gates' opinion as to ms where
abouts is that lie has either already com
mitted sulcido , or that ho has izono on a
surveying expedition to Alaska. Hois
rather inclined to the latter theory , in
fact is almost certain that ho is up north ,
because Furncval several times spoke to
him of going.
The one hundred and sixty acres bo-
lousing to Furnoval are now used by ox-
Lt. Gov. Cams , while the mortgage upon
his chatties was purchased by ( Central
City people.

A Now Question Hnlsod In the Land
Syndicate Injunction.
The injunction suit of Milton Rogers in
the sale of the property of the South
Omaha Land Syndicate , to restrain the
trustees of the same from disposing of
the property in question , cuiuo up before
Judgo'.Waklovyostorday morning. McsJ
Bre.Oowiniund.Prllohutt appeared for Rog
ers , kMr.Woolworth for himself and three
tiustces.atid Mr.Thurston for Mr. Hosier ,
Guii Cowln said that the instruments
tlmy had filed , ho thought , would hi con
sidered sutllciont for what hail been asked
until something of a denial was filed by
the other side ,
Mr. Woolworth said that such denial * ,
txllbctlng the statements nuulo by the at
torneys for the petition , had been filed In
the morning.
Gen. Cowin said that ho was not
nwnru of the fact and that they would
ask'tho usual time to consider the alii-
duvitfl.
MrThurston then stated that hn do-
eir < id to have Mr. Hosier made * a defend-
jwtwith the others.
Mr. Pritehctt said that the question
\va not regarding the sale to Mr. Hosier ,
bub the bale ut this time and for the piece
mentioned , to anybody.
Mr. Thurston said that the prayer of
the petition was that the court could not
lunko a decree unless Mr. Hosier wcro
nmoug the defimdtuiK
The court shared ( Tils opinion , but was
not , prepared to pass upon the question ,
ns to how Hosier could bo introduced
against the will of the plaintilT ,
On the question of the injunction the
court held that ho had read the petition
to enjoin the trustees from in any man
ner interfering with the property of the
saiuc , and thai all ho felt disposed to
gnvut wis to restrain the trustees from
- usttkimr the sale of the property , or tak
ing action to remove the minority of the
trustees. To continue the injunction so
RS to prevent the tni.-tei's from oaring
fov the properly or .scouring interest on
ho bonds anil other matters rendered
necessary by the biiainesj of the ussooia
lion would bo itijur'ous.
Uon , Cow n thought the court's idea
Would be satisfactory 'to the plaintiff , at
least until 8 o'clock , wh'oh ' would afford
time to examine the allldavlts filed by the
trustees.
TJio question of admitting Hosier as a
defendant again camu up. Mr. Woolworth -
worth and Mr. Thurston holding that ho
should bo admitted. Gen. Cowin hold
that Hosier was not a necessary party ,
inasmuch as tint petition prayed to enjoin
the trustees from selling the property
at all. The specific allegation 01 the sale
to Hosier , was only proof of the con
spiracy alleged bv the petitioners to liavo
been formed by four of the trustees , to
seize the propel ty for lhem elves , be
cause these latter had acted without
authority and in the face of the specific
requirements of the deed of trust
At the close of the discussion General
Cowin said , after all , ho thought there
would not be much objection to the ad
mission of Mr. Hosier as ft defendant ,
nnd the court finally said that he would
give the terms of tlin modified injunc
tion this afternooon at 4 o'clock , ami at
the same time listen to any further argu
ments which counsel might desire to
make regarding thu admission of Mr.
Hosier as a defendant
1'eseorday morning Mr. Woolworth -
worth , as counsel for the
trustees , filled affidavits ( in the
district court , controverting in every ma
terial point the petition of Mr. Rogers ,
setting forth the fraudulent sale of the
property In question.
At ! o'clock Judge Wakeloy decided to
modify the injunction as mentioned
above. It was also agreed that Hosier
should bo admitted as a defendant , but
that his part of the suit should bo re
ferred to the United States district court.
GI3N. JOHNSTON'S AUHlVAti.
The Famous Ex-UcUol General In the
City Notes.
General Joseph E. Johnston , the gov
ernment railroad commissioner arrived in
the cltyjycsterday morning coming in a
special car from SiouxICity.DHo is register
ed at the Paxton hotel , where early yes
terday afternoon ho was found b.y a rcj
porter of thcllKK.
General Johnston is a man past sixty
vears of ago. His hair is fast turning
white , his shoulders are becoming more
stooped , while his oycs are losing the
piercing sharpness which once cliarac-
turned them. The famous ex-rebel gen
eral though perfectly courteous , is not tx
first class subject for the interview.-
is rather inclined to bo reticent.
"I shall bo in Omaha until Saturday , "
said the general , in reply to a question of
the reporter , "and will then o west on a
tour of inspection of the Union Pacilic
and Central Pacific lines. To-day I
went down to the shops and took a look
through them. I found everything satis
factory. I shall also examine the office
accounts at the headquarters to sco that
every thing is correct. "
"What do you think about the passage
of the bill for the relief of the Pacific sub
sidizcd roads ? "
"It is hard to.'mako aguess about that , "
replied the general. " .There was a gen
eral belief at Washington during the last
session that the bill would bo passed.
Hut it turned out differently. I have no
doubt but ttiat sonic measure of the sort
possibly the same bill will come up at
the next session. 1 bcleivo that some
measure of the sort would prove bonoli-
cial not only to the roads but to the gov
ernment as well. "
General Johnston has been in office
about two years and a half , having been
appointed by President Cleveland early
in his administration , Ho makes an
annual tour of inspection over all the
roads in which the government is di
rectly or indirectly interested.

KEALi ESTATE 1MEN MEET.
Exchange Compliments nnd Kxcitod-
ly Present Arms.
Wednesday evening a lively scene took
place in the office of the C. E. Mayno
Real Estate & Trust company. Alfred
Arnemann , of Paulson & Co. , called
upon Mr. Mayno to settle up a little com
mission to which Paulson & Co. lay claim.
It seems that Paulson & Co. had on their
list a piece of property which. Mr. Mayno
either wanted to buy for himself or
sell to another party. It was agreed
between Mr. Maync and the -other firm
that the commission , which was to
amount to $500 would bo divided equally.
Mayno sold the lot , and called on Paul-
sou & ( Jo . and loft witli them a check for
$135 as their share of 1 10 commission.
This was not satisfactory , and in the
evening , Arnemann called at Mayno's
for the remaining $18 ! ! . Some high words
passed between them , during which
Mayno tried to convince Arnomanu that
the sale had not brought enough to war
rant tliecoinniissinn claimed , and in proof
of this referred Arnemann to his books.
Arnomann made an insulting allusion to
Mayno's books coupled witli other re
marks of an uncomplimentary nature ,
when Mayno shied a notarial seal at him
and then drew his revolver and aimed.
Hut lie did not firo. Some of his men in
terfered nnd Arnomann left the olfico
with a sore log , caused by its being struck
with the seal.

Neville's Doings on the Bench
this Morning.
Yesterday morning Judge Noillojgrant-
cdja temporary injunction to restrain a
tenant of Mr , Zabnskio , in South Omaha ,
from moving upon or occupying proper
ty belonging to the latter. The case will
bo heard on uoxt Monday.
Ho also discharged from the county
tail on a writ of habeas corpus , Michael
Ritchie , the man who has been confined
there for eleven days back for contempt
of court. The contqmpcd charged was
assault upon the justice of the peace at
the slock yards , while the latter was
holding court. The grounds upon which
the case was brought before Judge
Neville was that no warrant had been
issued for Uitoiiio's arivst , and , further ,
that imprisonment of twenty days was In
excess of the statutory punislmiontfor the
ofionso alleged. Upon the latter of those
grounds , the writ was issued ; Ritchie
having spent moro than ton days , the
time allowed ns punishment of the offense
in thu county jail.
Injured In the Cab ,
Wednesday n destructive tornado visited
the town of Webster on the line of the
C , M , & St. P. road , and is described by
Mr. A. Clubb , of Sigouruoy , to have been
particularly destructive of the crops in
that vicinity.
At the tlhio of its passage over the
town mentioned a train on the Milwau
kee road was standing at the dopot. The
snow fence on ono sulo of the track was
raised up by the wind and smashed
against the cars. Ono of the boards shot
tnr.dugh the window of the cab of the
engine and striking the fireman across
the forehead inllioting a do'op and clan
gorous cut and rendered the man Insen
sible , so that his plaeo had to be taken
by another.

Highest Didder.
The activity in Unialm real cst.ito con
tinues wltli unabatoil vigor. Thousands
of persons nro making investments cither
for future homos or speculative purposes.
The Indications nil point to a steady
rise in real estate for the next three years
nt loast.and in all probability for the next
Jive years. The city is growing very rap
idly in population and wealth. Now
business men are seeking locations for
business houses and for homes. New en
terprises , both public and private , are
being developed every day. A largo
amount of grading , paving , surveying and
other street improvement work is being
done , viaducts arc boiug built , the cable
car company has begun work , and the
street car lines are being extended in
every direction. Thus it will bo seen that
everything is combining to make Omaha
n great city , and that now is the time to
invest in rual estate. Numerous fortunes
have already been made in a very short
time in Omaha rual estate , and the oppor
tunities are just as good to-day , it' not
bettor , for safe and profitable invest
ments. All that is needed is the proper
selection of the place to plant your
money. A splendid opportunity is about
to bo offered to investors and speculators
in what has been named
AI.IIUIOIIT'S ANNEX ,
in the immediate vicinity of the South
Omaha Stock yards. Tins property lies
half u mile south of the new Stock Ex
change hotel , and joins the 120 acres ,
said to hayo been purchased by Armour.
The Albright Annex gradually slopes to
the east , and is in every respect beauti
fully located. The tract contains
rOL'It IIUNDIIGU LOTS ,
which are to bo sold at public auction ,
on Monday and Tuesday , August 10 and
17. A special free train will leave the
Union Pacilic depot at 10 o'clock in the
morning of each day , and will return at 7
o'clock in the evening. The famous
Musical Union brass band Julius Meyer ,
manager , and II. T. Irvine , leader has
been encaged for this occasion. The
band will mvo a street parade and con
cert from 7 to 10 a. m. . and will accom
pany the special train to the auction
grounds , where a splendid free lunch
will bo served. In fact it will bo a two
days' picnic. Everything will bo done by
the management to make this one of the
grandest and most successful events in
the history of Omaha real cstato trans
actions. Wo venture to say that besides
the hundreds who will go for the purpose
of buying Jots , there will bo hundreds
who will take advantage of this oppor
tunity of attending a free picnic and
having an enjoyable time.
Till : AUCTION SALE
will be conducted in a business-like man
ner. The terms are one-fifth cash , and
the balance in payments of five dollars a
month. Every lot will bo sold , regard
less of cost , to the highest bidder. The
managers of this enterprise have not as
is the custom with some repl estate deal
ers reserved the best portion of the land ,
but have thrown every lot upon the
market.
Now. a word or two as to the value of
the Albright Annex property. South
Omaha Syndicate lots , which were pur
chased last spring at ? 230 to $500 , cannot
now bo bought for less than § 700 to
? 1,250. This shows a rapid rise in the
Syndicate property. The same results
will follow in the Albright Annex , bo"-
yond the shadow of a doubt. Tins proper
ty is in the immediate vicinity of the
Backing and manufacturing interests of
outh Omaha , and cannot fail to rise
rapidly in value.
It is the prediction of some of the
best businessmen in Omaha and Chicago
that South Omaha will have 20,000 people
in live years. A prominent and success
ful Omaha real estate man , not in any
way connected with the Albright Annex ,
says that the boom is in South Omaha
and vicinity , and ho thinks these lots will
soil as fust as they can bo put up. Ho
will probably purchase some of thorn
himself.
There has been morn money made out
of South Omaha real cstato investments
tills year than _ in any property in Omaha
proper or in the suburbs. There is al
ready ft demand for these lots by parties
who want to buy at private purchase , but
the management will not s ell a single
lot before the day of the auction. Every
body will be given a fair show , the poor
and rich alike. It would bo advisable
before the day of sale to call at the otlico
of W. G. Albright & Co. , No. 218 South
Fifteenth street , and examine the maps
and plates showing the si/.o and location
of the lots in the Albright Annex.

Why Shonld They ho flomovcd ami
Itloti Men's Unnoticed ?
To the hdllor ; As you generally act
impartially , and wantjjustico done to all ,
irrespective of race on color or previous
condition of servitude or politics , I
would like to Know nbout an order issued
by Marshal dimming * , about jtwo
months ago in regard to clearing the
streets and sidewalks of business signs of
all descriptions ; also trunks , barber
poles , etc. Let us see how this law has
been enforced by our city fathers and
our noble guardiai.s of the peace. They
notified all shoemakers , cobblers , and
barbers , men who wore just barely
making a Hying , to remove everything
from the sidewalk that showed any
sign of their business , so that a passer by
would not mistrust that any kind of
business was carried on at that plaeo , so
that all they have to do is to vaik up to
the court hojiso and pay their taxes.
Now , .that 1 have presented the poor
man's side of this question , lot us look
ut the other , and sco how ineqiially this
law is enforced. Sloan & Johnson have
877 barrels of salt tiered up , three or four
barrels high , on the sidewalk , corner
Tenth and Farnam , and forty-three bar
rels of syrup. Peycko IJros. have seven
teen barrels of vinegar on Tenth street ,
barrels , boxes , crates , watermelons , ban-
nanas , etc. , on Farnam street. James
McVittio , corner Eleventh and Farnam ,
has barrel * of salt , chk'Xoti coops , empty
boxes , empty barrels , one old ice-boxono
old mattress. Leo , Fried & Co. have a
lot of barbcil fence wire in front of va
cant lots , llOtMllt Hamcy street , Grat-
ton & Drummond , Hartley street , near
Fourteenth , have eight carnages on the
sidewalk , some marked for saTo. Andrew
Murphy , opposite , has six carriages on
the sidewalk , three of them with new
paint drying. D. M. Steele & Co. , on
Thirteenth and Ilarnoy , have 173 barrels
of salt , and nine barrels of vinegar on
the sidewalk. Garneau's Cracker com
pany have lard , salt , sjnip , etc. ; Omaha
Cornice works , 310 South Twelfth street ,
have cornices stored on the sidewalk ;
Western Cornice works , cornices
stored on sidewalk ; D. Fitzpatrick -
patrick , southeast corner Twelfth
and Howard has general storage of old
steam boilers , earthen tiles , crockery
crates , old iron , etc. Now , those are
only a few of the many cases that I
could mention to show the injustice of
this ordinance , or , at least the way it is
enforced by our marshal and his subor
dinates. The only real object that I can
see , so far , is to remove the beer kegs
from the sidewalks so that strangers
could not tell that our policeman was
coing into a saloon , and then to make
barbers , shoemakers and cobblers take
their signs in that they would not mis
trust the police. Now , if they r.ro going
to enforce this sidowalKtordiiiance , why
not servo all all alike and not try to
injure , poor moirs business and lot the
rich nlun make a display of thousands of
dollars1 worth of their goods on the side
walks of the principal thoroughfares
of our city and are not molested while
ous .police are skirmishing around the
by-streets and alleys after poor men who
are trying to make an honest living.
JUSTICE.
THE INDIAN TREATIES.
An Important Question * Brought up
by n Law-Suit.
DA decision was received yesterday Irom
Judge lrpwcr ? of theUnitcdStates circuit
court of this district concerning an im
portant siiit recently.commenced ; against
the commissioners of Dakota countv by
the C. , St. P. , M. & O. road. The case is
especially interesting because it revives
memories of treaties made thirty or forty
years ngo with the noble rod men of the
territory of Nebraska.
Away back in the fifties , the govern
ment entered into a treaty with the Win-
nobago nation , whereby the Indians
agreed to live peaceably on the reserva
tion several miles square to be made for
them in the northwestern part of the
state. The reservation was accordingly
marked out , with the understanding that
it was to bo forever exempt from all state
taxation for purposes of revenue. A few
years ago , the Sioux City and Nebraska
railroad , duly incorporated under the
laws of this state purchased from the
chiefs or head men of the Winnebago
nation a right of way about
seventeen miles long and two-hun
dred feet wide. Later on this
linn was purchased by the C. , M. , St. P.
& O. road. The commissioners of Da
kota county , in which the reservation is
located , have charged up against the lat
ter road , several thousand dollars of
taxes , on that portion of their line which
runs through the reservation. The rail
road people claim that this is illegal because -
cause the treaty between the United
States and Indians expressly stated that
the reservations should bo free
from taxation of every kind.
'Tho road has consequently refused to
pay these taxes , and porno
time ago commenced a suit in the United
States court to prevent the Dakota
county commissioners from soiling their
engines and rolling stock in satisfaction
of said claim. The defendants demurred
to the petition on the ground that the
Chicago , Minneapolis , St. Paul & Omaha
road had , by the purchase of a. line in
Nebraska , become a domestic corpora
tion , and was thcrofoio not entitled to
sue in the United States court. The de
cision of Judcro Urowor referred to above
overrules this point ; the defendants are
ordered to tile their answer within sixty
days. _

A IJifj-lIattcd Man .Just from among
tlio Greasers.
One of the guests , yes
terday morning , at the Mer
chants' was JAndorson Clubb. Ho is
a tall , well formed , kindly looking gen
tleman with long gray beard and iron
pray hair. Ho wears , n ti&htly woven
Panama straw hat , witlua crown about
as high as a peed sized dome and a rim
about as ample as aj ; half-mile race
courso. Ho has two home * . In summer
ho holds forth at Sicour.uoy , la. , and in
winter at Ashland , Oregon. Ho has just
returned from El Paso , llm scene of the
Cutting trouble. Ho left there the day
on'which the latter published his alleged
liuol , Although the article , had not'ap
peared it was anticipatcdtajjd the fooling
of the people led him do believe that
trouble was expected. TheToxanshad al
ready commenced fo acton the defensive-
Everybody , whether Mexican or Indian ,
who crossed Into El PaBO from -'aso Del
Norto was being corralled. . The talk of
organizing a local force was spreading
and Mr. Clubb felt that it was a good
time to get out the way. l-rom his way
of thinking , If ho remained , ho thought
ho might bo pressed into service , and
concluded to got out ot the danger as
soon as possible. One of the features of
the aflaii , is that a large number of
Chiiiamon , who had been driven out of
Seattle and Hodding , California , hud
taken refuse among the Mexicans at
