Shirdor Mont Foul IlAvmus , Neb. , Oct. G. ( Sprclal to the BEF. . ] The nliirdcr of James Qiilnn Is tlic nil absorbing topic of discussion In this city to-ilay. Qulnn was a lospected fanner living nine miles northwest ot this city. He was a quiet. InolTetislvc man , living at peace with his neighbors and having no enemies as Tar as Is known. Ills foul murder , together with the air of mystery mirroiinding the wliole allalr , has wrought tlio community up to a pitch of excitement thnt has not been equalled since the memorable murder of Cash .Millet ami tlio subsequent lynching of Inghrnm and Ciccn by the outlawed citizens of Ilastlnirs. A brief review of all the know n particulars of the mysterious murder of lames Qulnn will bo nocossaty to In lot in the DUB'S readers or the dllllcultles surrounding 'the Investigation of this affair. Qulnn was 'last ficon 'alive on Wednesday , Sept. CO. On thnt dnto he wns assisting n nelghborlni ! fanner In his tluoshlng. The work finished , Qulnn hitched his horses to Ids wauon and started for home. This wns the last time his friends and neighbors saw him alive. Jlo was a bachelor living nlone , and bis house stood back some dis tance from tlio main traveled load. This fact accounts tor the leiiRth ot time which elapsed before his neighbors became alarmed at Ills non-appearance , anil began the search which resulted In the discovery of bis half eaten remains In his corn-Held. Although Qulnn had disappeared Wednes day nlgliljltuas not lint llSunday that a search was Instituted byhis neighbors.The search culminated Sunday evening In the discovery of the remains of the muideied man. Ivlng half Hurled in the oC ' ' edge a corn-field. 1'ho body had been half devoured by hogs , and the scarcheis wei-o compelled to diivoawny the choullsh beaiitH bofoni they could trntlier iipnll thnl was nioital of their once living nelnhbor. Thecoionoi's jury hns now been In secn't session two days , and i.s still taking testimony. A strict secrecy is maintained by every person connected with the iinehtl- gatlon , nnd nothing can bo learned from that source at present. Yesterday morning Chief of Police Hall arrested u man named Wlllielm Suroetz on IN suspicion of liavlni : committed tlio murder. Sproctz has been a farm hand employed In the neighborhood until about two weeks ago. Ho had never been known to have any great amount of money or his own , and the mur dered man was known to have a considerable sum In Ills possession. Spiomz was exceed- singly "Mush" with funds , having between ' 8M ; ) and S400. As ho could give no satisfac tory explanation as to how lie came by su 'largo a sum of money he was held on suspi cion. Last evening he was taken before Judge Homing on a writ ot habeas corpus sworn out by Attorney 0. H. Tanner. Tim case was argued anil the judge decided that there was no evidence snillioienily strops ; to hold the prisoner ami necordinglyordeied Ills dlfichaigo. Immediately upon Ills discharge Sproet/ was summoned as a witness before the coroner's Jury. Ills examination lasted until a late hour last niuht. The jury not be ing through with him had him placed in phnrgojof a deputy for detention until to-day. The witness and deputy retired to the Ar- lluctcn hotel. Some time In the night JJrjioetz made his escape by leaping from the second story of the hotel. This morninc ho could not bo found. Ills anxiety to escape is regarded as a suspicious clicumstanco and ho will bo taken , Into custody .again . as soon as lls ) whereabouts can bo discovered , i > The Norfolk Convention' .

Yesterday morning the Republican contained a rather uncalled-for editorial , or at least an editorial written in a rather uncalled-for mood , to say the least/Tlio said editorial beinc ; in relation to the late boxing ox- liibiliou held in the annex at the exposi tion hall. Tlicro is no doubt but what the writer of the editorial in question meant to bo fair , and not unfair ; to state truths and not untruths ; and that ho erred in being unfair and not stating facts as they were is to bblrigretted , because ho therefore did a thingthat lie evidently did uot intend td'llo.'ftnd ' placed specta tors and nianagorjsvbft mo boxing contest in an improper light * .lAntl the editorial also nlaces Marshal Gnmmings and his police in an cntirdiy wrong light , because they w6rc a.'l the exhibition at tlio special requestf'of'tlio manager to sec thatorder andde6o.ruin should prevail in the hall , and it is Ihe'pplonin trutli that not once during tljQ exulting1 contest wns there a single act-committed in the large audience that called fdr police interference once , or even ropylhianU. Thpaters , fairs , conventions , slretjjtpiiiidcs , etc. , right fully ask for anarefluivopoHco attend ance , and therefore. , ublice prptcction , if needed , and why should not an athletic . . . out having tlio mitrfinfti ; anU'his police so j severely handled for , doing in ono placj that for which tho/0tily re'cbivc words uf praise and commendation ifdono in an other place. Tlio writer of this article doesnot claim that managers o'f boxing contests always so conduct them as to keep the rougher element in tlio minority , nnd have ardor prevail , hvt ho docs clajm that in the late athletic exhibition at Annex hall , perfect order did prevail , that bovs were excluded by the high price of admission ( $1.00 and Sl. ! > 0) ) , and Unit the audience was as decorus and respectable as generally attend public entertainments , there being present doc tors , lawyers , merchants and business men generally. There was no blow struck that could bo hoard quite so far away ns a block , as the said editorial writer assorts , neither was there any knock-downs , or anything like ono , or approaching one , in the hall among the spectators. Neither contest ant expected to break aay bones in the body of his opponent. or anybody else. That such an accident did occur ( and it was certainly an acci dent ) is regretted by both contestants and spectators. Accidents happen in tyebost regulated families , and sometimes an editor has to knock a man down stairs , and nearly if not quite break his neck for baing a little "too previous. " Physical courage and endurance have been ad mired and almost worshipped from time immemorial. Exponents of these quail ties have had for patrons the crowned heads of the nobility of Europe , and the literary professional nnd businessmen mon of Amorica. Roscoe Conk- ling , lately ono of the leading and most brilliant men in the United States senate , lias boon a fre quent spectator at boxing mutches. Tliero are n great many difl'erent kinds of people in tins world. Some like ono thing and eomo like another. Some like the courage and skill shown in a boxing contest , and some don't. The present writer is ono of those who does , but ho does not w > nt to force others who think dill'orontly to believe as ho does , neither docs the wntct think it fair and natural for those who do not like these things to bo quite BO severe in the expressions of their bolief. Trusting this article will bo received in tno kindly spirit in whiqli it is written I am yours truly , . A. jj Charles FrKnols Adams.

" When ho lirsl came Lcro Fitzgerald says lie not only paid McConnlck's expenses , but bought him : i .suit of clothes and underclothing lie also says that Mao kept him over lioro to act us second in tlio Marx light , promising to pay his ex penses , but when his share of tlio re ceipts wcro handed over , ho never cave him ( Fit/Herald ) n single cent. iMf-gorald also BtutcH that in his own con test with Marx , McCormick did all ho could to throw the light in the cowboy's fnvor , noticeably when ho spilled water in Fitzgerald's corner so that the latter would slip every time Marx would rush him over in that direction , lie also says McCormick wanted to give up last Sat urday's tight to Mar\-afterthe first round and it was only after a sound talking to from hit seconds that ho consented to come to time. The most damaging state ment of all , however , is that McCorsnick wanted Fit/.gerald to put lead in his gloves 'the night ho fought Marx , and when ho proposed such a cowardly scheme Fit/.gerald says he was going to whip him himself , lie also says that McCormlek's right name is.Jamos Carmo- dyandthat lie ( Fitzgerald ) whipped him in Owney ( Jeonhan's. New York , in IS ? ! ) , in a contest for a silver cup. It is very evident that Fitzgur.ild has very little love for the man ho won the match for on Saturday , and ho docs not hesitate to so express himself. When lie gets to Uutlo lie intends to write an account of his Omaha experience witli McCormink for the Now York Clipper , and ho will also issue a challenge to light any man in the world of his weight. There were several friends at the depot to see him oil' , nnd a party of Salt Lake business men who wore on the train and had scon Fitzgerald nnd Clew box , gayo him a cordial greeting and wore loud in their praise of i.is ganiencss and gentle manly conduct. The light that was partly arranged between Fitzgerald anil McCormick lias boon declared oil' . Fit/gcrald has written a letter tlio i'olieo News in which he denies the statement made in that paper that he was bested in his contest with Marx. Ho explains that lie was fouled several times during the light , but could get no recog nition of his claims from the referee. Ho says lie stood up before Marx , who out weighed him nearly thirty pounds , and only gave up when he saw that lie could not whip Marx , the referee and all of the seconds , lie denounces in strong terms all oftlio Mm who ! > rc connected with this class of sports in Omaha , and warns nil adepts in the manly art to keep away from this city until the management of such contests passes into tlio hands of more responsible parties. MAY PKOVI5 FVTAti. MIssKlIen Doyle Moots AVItli n Serious Accident. Yesterday afternoon Miss Ellen Doyle , employed iitThomns Casey's hotel , on the corner of Tenth and Jones street , met with a serious accident which will prob ably prove fatal. She was out riding in a single horse wagon , driven by young Thomas Casey , and when in the vicinity of Shceloy's packing house one of the shafts broke. This scared the horse , which jumped on an elevation by tlicsido of the road. ' MissL oylo leaped from the wagon nnd fell. At the same time tlio horse foil rpon her , injuring her serious ly , especially about the head. A tele phone message soon brought a carriage , and the unfortunate woman was con veyed to Mr , Casey's hotel , where she lies in a precarious condition. Dr. Darrow was called , and he pronounces her in juries very serious and e\prosses doubts , as to her recovery. Her mind is wander ing , and there is every indication of other severe internal injuries. Miss Doyle is highly spoken of by all who know her , and numerous friends express deep sym pathy at her nlllietion. as well as the earnest hope that present fears of fatality may not piovotruo. DEMOUKATIO DELEGATES. Tlioy Slioot Tliroujili tlio Oily nnd Down tu llnHtin H. Last evening tlio hotel corridors were filled with a motley crowd of democrats from all parts of the Mate on their way to the democratic slate convention , which is to bo held to-night at Hastings. The representative democrats , however , were not ns numerous or as enthusiastic as on former occasions. This was partly owing to the fact that some of them had crossed at Fremont and Grand Island , others had not left homo at all , while others failed to enthuse over a prospect of hopelessness for whomsoever they might put in nomination. Prominent among those noticed by ( ho BEE reporter were Senator Sherwln of Fremont , who came near getting ilio shot .intended for the state treasury rob bery at Lincoln two years ago while the legislature was in session- , Patrick Fahoy , of Holt county , who was one of the dele gates to the last national democratic con vention , and Thomas O'Day. of Neligh , onu of the leading bourbon spirits of Ins Beption of the country. Mr. O'Day was the gentleman who , in the democratic caucus at the last state democratic con vention in Lincoln , introduced the reso lutions of tli ? Hoyd motion , which left the breach between it and that of the Brown element , in about the name condi tion that it had boon before the gather ing. Ilia name ulno brought up in Ilio congressional convention of tnu democracy at Norfolk on Tues day last , where , though ho had not bought for the nomination to congrvss , he was defeated but by one vote by W. II. Webster , of Mernck. Mr. O'Day was nskod if he knew who was to be tlio next democrat candi date for governor. "J really don't know , " said Mr. O'Duy in n most dreary nnd hopeless tone. "Will Mr. Fitzgerald , of Lincoln , bo nominated 1" "No , I don't think ho will , because I know ho would uot accept it uny way. " "Well , who will bo your uouiiuoo , then ? " Well , Tve heard Juu North's name spoken of , and Dr. Livingston's nlso has been mentioned. 13ut no far as I knoxv , there is no pmon actually sucking the honor. " "In answer to n question Mr , O'Day said ho thought Air. AlcSlmne would nuke a. close run , and Mr. Fahoy felt that ho would full ahead , but it would be by a 'close shavo.1 With reference to the Third district , in which Webster has boon nominated , Mr. O'Day felt that it was the easiest one in tills stale to bo carried by Ilio democrats. Two years ago , it had been carried by only 5,000 votes. At that time there was scnrcoly an olllco in tlio hands of a demo crat , and democratic newspapers wore almost Unknown . Now , however , thing' ? had changed. There wore both demo cratic shoots and ollleolinldera , and with n close canvass , ho had no doubt that \ \ ebs > toi' would bo able to defeat Dorsoy. A New Yn.'d to Mnkn that Number Hero Dally. Yesterday Major J. S.

The size of this yard and the standing ot the owner and mali ngers will go far toward doing a < vay with the dillicultynow experienced in procur ing brick enough with which to carry on the building which remains to and must bo done next season.
