Tim Imunr Trial.
After tliu transaction of s-oino routine
business yesterday morning in the district
court before .Judge Neville , John W.
Laucrvus called up for trial. At live
minutes to ten the twelve jurors took
their scats and their examination as to
their ( ] Uillication ! ! to act as jurors in this
case was commenced. Lauer had en
tered the court room a few minutes pre
viously and taken his scat by his counsel ,
Judge Savage and John At. Thurston.
Mr. Simcral stated to the jury that the
defendant had been indicted at the february -
ruary term , 1830 , for the murder of his
wife Siilllc Lauer , November S.1 ! , 183jand
propounded thu usual questions to the
jurors. He asked them If they were ac
quainted with the defendant ; iiad they
formed or expressed an opinion as to
the guilt or innocence of the accuscdhad ;
they any conscientious scrunlcs against
the infliction of the death pen
alty. " In the first twelve called tlioro
was one who had not formed an opinion
ns to the defendant's emit. One after
another was ordered aside as their an-
ewnis clearly showed bias , such as to dis
qualify them. They had formed fixed
opinions .such as it would require evidence
to remove. The defense , according to
the law , arc entitled te sixteen peremp
tory challenges , the prosecution night.
The court room was comfortably filled ,
there being in addition to the regular
panel , the seventy-live jurymen on the
special venire. Lauer was dressed in
black , was well barbcred , looked interest
ingly pale and seemed to take the keenest
note of the answers of the jurors , the
question and the wrangling of counsel ,
nnil the decisions of the court. The ma-
fority of the inrors had formed an opiu-
on from reading the account of the for
mer trial in the newspapers. Hut very
few had conscientious scruples against
the infliction of the death penalty , m a
CASO whore the law so ordered and the
facts established guilt. One juror said
he had formed an opinion as to defend
ant's guilt , but had not the opinion now.
At noon thirty-six jurors had been ex
amined out of which twelve had been se
lected , against whom no cause for chal
lenge could bo assigned. The court then
cautioned thu jurors against talking
about the case to each other or to others ,
or listening to others talking of it. Judge
Neville then announced the method of
protuptory challenges ns follows : State ,
one , defense , one ; state , one , defense ,
one , and so alternately until the state
has challenged five and the defense thir
teen. The defense will then challenge
two , the state ono and the defense one ,
when the number allowed by the statute
will then have been exhausted. Judge
Savage suggested to the court the pro
priety of making an order similar to the
ono enforced at the former trial , and the
court announced that the ofliccrswonld see
that extra crowding will bo prevented
both in the court room and the space as
signed to the bar. New jurors who
will bo called to fill the places va
cated by challenged jurors will bo subject
to the same criticism as the jurors now
on the'panel have passed through. Gen
eral Cowin is assisting the county attor -
noy.
noy.When court convened at 3 o'clock , the
defense exorcised iti right to a peremp
tory challenge , and ono of the jurors was
excused. A doxen or more of the special
talismon were then called and on ex
amination were excused for cause , one
after the other. Ono , a farmer although
an unprejudiced juror , was by consent of
course excused , as he desired to bo in the
iiold at work. The jurors manifested
no disinclination to inflict capital
punishment. At 2:30 : the panel was again
filled , and the state peremptorily chal
lenged John Ilunuon , and another
string of nlen took the vacant chair to be
rejected for causo. No change was made
until the time for adjournment.
THE CUI.MI5.
The details of the crime for which John
Lauer is to stand trial are so well known
to the Omaha public that but the briefest
resume of the case will bo necessary.
It was at 1 o'clock on the morning of
November 24,1885 , that John \V. Lauer
shot and killed his wife , Sallie Goctschlus
Lauer. He claimed t have mistaken her ,
in the dark , for a burglar. Very few be
lieved him. Ho had treated his wife
cruelly in the past , and there were cer
tain suspicious features of the case which
made his statement look " fishy. " Ho
was arrested and promptly hold to the
district court. Last year his trial oc
curred. The jury brought In a rather
peculiar verdict ono of manslaughter.
The judge hold that the verdict should
cither have boon murder in the first or
second degree , and granted the motion
of counsel for defense for n new trial.
John Lauor has been in jail since the
89th day of November , 188.1 , or more
than fifteen months. Ho was formerly
manager of the Omaha Nail works.

A RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.
Isaac Clarke and His Grandson the
Victims Thereof.
A runaway accident occurred on Doug-
as street about nine o'clock yesterday
morning which came very near resulting
fatally.
The horses attached to Allen's fish
wagon became frightened while the dri
ver was engaged in adjusting their bri
dles , broke from his control and dashed
down Sixteenth. At the corner of IJoug-
las they ran into a buggy , which was oc
cupied by Isaac D. Clarke , an old gentle
man seventy years of age and his little
grandson , Lewis Clarko. The buggy
was upset and the occupants thrown violently
lently on the asphult pavement. The
runaway team swerved to ono side and
continued their mad career down the
street. They were finally stopped
before any further harm was
done. When Mr. Clarke
was picked up ho was bleeding profusely ,
and it was found that ho was danger
ously injured , lie was removed to the
residence of his son , 11. T. Clarke , where
medical attendance was summoned. It
was found that his injuries consisted of a
few scalp wounds , none of which are
dangerous. The little boy Lewis was
cut and bruised somewhat , but his in
juries are not serious. Both vehicles are
pretty badly wrccKcd.

horses would not dance attendance to his
every foolish whim , he got another man
to hold the lines while hu used rv heavy

the expedients to which the real estate

firm Is located in the rear end of n

conceil itself in a toy store , and so on. A
carpenter shop on one of the principal
streets has been converted into a real es

paying n good round sum for the

A TUMBLE.
It has been our custom at the end of eacli winter season to place on sale , at reduced
prices , our remaining stock of mens' and youths' winter trousers. There are good reasons
for doing so. "We consider it advisable and to our interests to convert into cash , even at
a loss , such merchandise , the sale of which will soon be suspended for six months. Most
men wear out two pairs of trousers Avith ono coat and vest ; the second pair seems an ex
tra expense , and the real bargain is very acceptable. Wo like to gratify such people and
win their good will. Wo still have on hand about 400 pairs of winter trousers , some odds
and ends , some broken lots , but most patterns are in complete assortment of sizes , and
marked down to prices which merely cover the cost of the cloth.
We also have concluded to close out our whole remaining stock of silk neckwear , which
lias been soiling for 25c , 50c , 75c and $1. There are about 140 dozen and we have marked
them down to lOc , 15c , 25cand 50 , respectively.
One of the secrets of our success during our many years in the clothing business has
been in the closing out of all seasonable goods towards the end of each season , regardless
of cost.
