UN The Most Neatly Managed Procession that Ever Took Place in tbo City. 't'lie I'aratle Applnuilcd all Along the lloute liVoi-ybotly Moro 'llinu Katl fletl and No Ono Deceived. Monday morning a largo number of prominent citizens assembled at the ollleo of HarrisonAmbler & Woolloy , 418 South Ifith street , for the purpose of forming a grand procession to Ambler riacu , Aftur the arrival of the military band , the leading musical organization of ( ho state , the sidewalks ami struct iu the vicinity of 15th ami Howard , was crowded with people and it was thought for a while that carnages enough wore tiot provided to carrv them , but by put ting from four to six in each carriage the procession linally started , with Mr. ( } . 8. Ainblur in the lead , driving thu linn's matched team of dark cream horses , hitched to the neatest ami most attrac tive real estate wagon in Omaha , on which , in gold letters , on the sides , are displayed thu firm's name and business , LTJus matched team , by the way , is one of the finest in the state , having taken the lirsl premium , last ycar.at York , ami Inter at the Omaha fair , for being the handsomest driving team in the entire state. Following this team wore , lirst , tlui Military band , then carnages in which were seated several Omaha hulicn of prominence , and following them wiiro liftnon or twenty opun carriages , all loaded down to their utmost capacity. The procession lirst went down Douglas street to Twollth , thence to i'arnam , thence to l'iftiunth , thence to the ollico at118 South I'iftoenth street. Then ; after the band had played a fuw choice selections , the procession again took up its way to Farnani , thence * west to Twenty-second street , thence across to Dodge , thence down to Fif teenth , tlioncp to Douglas , thencu to Sixteenth , thoncu to llarncy , and from there to Ambler Place. * All along the route tlio paradu was greeted with well deserved applause by the bystaudors. After reaching Ainblur place , whnre the sale was to t.iko paeo | , thu band termed themselves into a circle .rand rendered a number of selections f whilu the spectators looked over the ground. Everyone who took the trouble to join the procession was well repaid , for none wore deceived ami they found that Ambler place is the fiuc.st property out of doors , and after a number of lots had been selected the party retraced its stops , well satisfied. Thu military band made the welkin ring all the way back on Park < st. and St. Mary's avenue to thu ollico. Then after ulaying a sort of lunch hour 1 selection the crowds dispersed until at J > 1:80 : the procession was repeated with > even moro vinor. The afternoon procos- rsion returned about fi o'clock and the ] band put in the time between that and C / o'clock parading the street furnishing peed music and at the same time advert - t Using Ambler place. Altogether the affair wnu the grandest , in a business sense , and the most neatly arranged and the most skillfully managed over yet undertaken in Omaha , and will bo long remembered. The largo attend mice only gous to show how grunt is the confidence which people ruposo in the Jim' who originated tlm all'air , and tc thorn all credit is duo. Harrison , Ambloi & \Voollo.v have always done a fair , honest and upright business , aud the ) worked hard to make the Ambler Placi sale a success , aud they have surpoudcii They have all the backing , as far as money is concerned , that any firm in tin country could wKh , and they are doin < ; more than any one linn to-day towan tlio development of the very finest rcsi deuce portion of the city.ami by so itninj ! they are not only cutting to thu froiv rank In real estate circles , but tnoy arc there now , and it is their intention u stay thoro.for this week's sensation is no1 tin ; last they bavo in store for the south western part of the city. large procession wont out to Amble Place yesterday morning and afternoon Nothing succeeds hko success.

Thepiuccedlms ; were listened to by a larxo number of people , who Illlcd both thu lobby and the sidewalk In front of the court. Kdward Kosin\ater , beliu sworn , testified as follows : " .My name Is IMward llo ewater ; know the defend int , Uotlmckcr ; saw htm Inst Friday morning on tlio corner of Elev enth btreet ; was walklm ; down Farnam street , iiearKestner's pnntim ; olllcu , to\sards the I5iu : oHicn ; nsl iot near the corner Isaw some persons standing to one side of thu building , and recognised one of them as Pat Hawos and the other as Aleck Utack. It was a rainy murnln , ' and 1 had on a rain coat \\lilchlhadbuttoned from the chin down ; it was a co.it that covered the entire body down within four or liso Inches of the feet and has no outside pocket. 1 was called by Mr. llawes ; 1 think liu was on the north side ot me , and 1 turned to speak to him and , as 1 turned , 1 saw , for the iliat time , that Mr. Itothaeker was riu'lit behind me , ma ) bo twelve feet , Kolm ; rinlit behind mo ; I stopped and he still proceeded. As 1 stopped , I said , 'You Internal' or Mamned .scoundrel , you published an out- niu'i'ous libel , a cowardly assault upon mo this munilii . ' Jtibt as 1 said that he pulled out his hand , lie had Ids overco.it on and his hand was In his pocket. 1 didn't notlcu that until 1 saw him pull out something which 1 thought was a pistol and I Imme diately felt the blow of homo instrument rljhthero findicatlnsl over the cheek bone ; 1 staiicicu ; and Put llawes came rushlm ; up to me. L was trying to iet Pat's eauo away todefenil mysell ; ho Illotlmckerl was still advancing uud trying to stilku me and some ot the outsldu peoutu interfered and drained him away. There was quite a crowd Kath- ered there , maybe liom hevcnty-livo to one hundred people. Mr. Kothackur didn't say anythltiK to moas hestiucl : the blow. As ( jittck as 1 said what I did , lie jumped live or six Iceland struck me. 1 did nut see the weapon until he had been ionu Homo time. 1 liavo seen It iu the hands ot Mr. Meyer. " [ Here , the witness was shown the instru ment which was taken trom Mr. Kothacker by Mr. Meyer nt the time of the attack. ] On crons-cxaminaliun the wilne.-s stated that he had had nocontroversy with Uothacker until after ho had charged him with attempt ing to blackmail the contractor of the peni tentiary , Mosher , out ot Sl.OJO , to hush up the Jtepublican. His authority for tills chareu was Mosher himselt , who also toltl it to 15111- in sly , Koj ( < en and peihaps twenty other people at Lincoln , lie , the witness , had not sent to Denver tor information about Kotli- iickei's character. Colorado people whom ho had mot hero and elsewhere , represented Kothacker as a dead-beat and a man of low character. Had never made auv throats to kill Uothacker. At tlio tlmo when Koth- acker published a libelous assault upon him while at Lincoln ho had notilied Taylor ( one of the proprietors of the Uepubllcanl that ho would hold the proprletois lesponslble. At that time ho had said that were it not for his family Kothackur or himself would have to die. llu had not worn a revolver since the day be fore he stalled lor Cleveland. When asked as to his business at Cleveland ho said he had been without an assistant editor a month be- lore ho started for the east aud had to pur chase piemiums tor weekly subscribers , and was especially desirous to counsel with Ins brothers at Cleveland about tlio construction of the block which ho proposed to bejin building this season on upper I'arnam street. Had not spoken to Kothacker lor ncaily tlnee months , though had passed him seveial times on the street. P. O. llawes , being sworn testified as fol- ows : " 1 baw the encounter between Mr. Jlosuwater and Mr. Itothaeker on the 2Jnd of this month , i was btandlm : up against AlaxMojer's store waiting for Air.

I stood taclnir tltoeast. I was tolling him what took place the night before , and , botoio 1 got through ulth the sentence , ho raised his right hand over my shoulderandBaid , 'Now , damn you , it you don't stop this outrageous' ho didn't finish the sentence and 1 looked mound to see whom ho was talking to , and , just as 1 looked around , Kothacker stiuck him with a billy and it staggered him. I Biabbed him | Kosowatoi ] with my left hand uehlnd Ids back , and rUht hand In front of him aud straightened him up and said to Kothacker 'Don't you hit him any more.1 Mr. Kothacker didn't say ono wordduiim ; the whole tlmo until a minute after wards whun ho said : 'How many are there around you , ' anil I said , 'I have nothing toile withany of you , ' but 1 got holu of Mr.ltosuwator. lie tried to take my cane away and 1 said , 'That man will kill you ; ho has got a sling shot , ' ami 1 ran him back ten feet and held him there and then the crowd got largo ciiouu'h and 1 let go ol him.

It was held In his rteht hand an inch or two out of nlshaml ; do not know whether the btrap was atound Ids wrist or not ; do not know , as I would know the sling shot it 1 saw It. ( Here the witness was shown the weapon.J 1 Uon't know whether that Is the same or not ; It was a billy wrap ped around with leather , that looks like it. " .Nothing now was brought out Iu the cross- examination. Adolph .Meyer testified as follows : "I recogni/o this insttument lieferrins to the billy. | 1 got it out of Mr. KothacKer's pocket boon after the assault upon Mr. Hose- water. At the time , 1 said to Mr. Kothacker , 'You are excited aud you me not accountable for what you are doing ; you tiad better give it to IIIR. ' llo did not want to at first , and 1 said : 'You had better elvn It to me , ' and ho gave It to mo without any trouble. 1 saw a crowd pattiored In front of tlio store and somebody said that Mr. Hothacker had hit .Mr. Ho. ewater with a billy , and thought th y were both excited ami neither ono was ac countable for what ho might do. " Otto U. Suhworln , being sworn , testified : " 1 know Mr. Kosowater and Mr. Kotnaeker ; the first time 1 saw Mr. Hothacker was last Friday morning about lifteen minutes of IU o'clock on the corner of Klevonth and Kar- nam street. 1 met .Mr. Kosownter on Far- nam street , a llttl'i abovn there , near Fest- ner's printing ollico. Ho told mo that he wanted to see mo , that ho hud something for mn to do , and I walked trom there down to wards the UEK ottice , and in front of Max Meyer's , n gentleman stopped him , Mr. llawes. Wo were walkinx side by side when Mr. Hoso\satur turned to Mr. Hawos nnd they weru talking and I stopped back thieu steps from where Mr. llawes and Mr. Koso water were speaking and stood on the cor ner and waited for them. Mr. llawes Imti bald something to Mr. Hosewater , but Mr. Hosowater hadn't answered. I was looking In that iiitection and 1 saw Mr. Hothacker make n lump towards him with some thing and strike Mr. Kosowater. I didn't hear either of them say a word , be cause 1 was not paying much attention 01 listening to wlnt was said , and that gentle man there [ pointing at KotliacKur ) struck Mr. Kosewater witli a b Illy. 1 Mopped u\ between them and blioved my umbrella up tc to Mr. Kotlmekor's brea t before ho couhi strike the second blow , uiilcli 1 think he In tended to strike. He did not have his hand raised the second tlmo. After he had struck the blow ho stepiH > d back ono or two stop * and was coming forward aqaln. and J shoved my umbrella In his face and breast nnd shoved him back nnd stopped htm there 1 did not put my hands on him tlicu. It wa ; sometime after 1 put my hands on him Theio were thirty or forty people there. At this occuiied , Mr. Kosewater trtod to cct i can" from Mr. llawes. They were dolni I some talking ami Mr. Hoaowater said In ' \V.U\M \ hit him with a cane , and. In spcnklni b..c < . to Jiim , Mr. Koiifwatw said Tim are a ovrnrd. ' 1 heard both ot them call ono an ther cowards. Mr. Kosowator said 'You arc n coward to strike n man with such thing , ' and Hothacker said , ' 1 will kilt yon. ' .hen , several moro people were there and 1 tept them apart. Alter Mr. Kothacker had < t Mr. Ko owater go , when there wrro stif- iclent people , they made a rush directly In rout of the house towards one another. Then put my arm around Mr. Hothacker and Hilled him back perhaps about ten feet and 10 bit mo then , on the wrist. That Is the scar , rindlcatlm : a maik on his wrist. I Nothing new \\as developed In the cross- examination. With ( Ids the plaintiff rested his case. O. II. Hothacker , being sworn , testified as allows : " 1 lesldoin this city ; nm editor of he Omaha Kcimblican nnd linvo been for about seven months ; Mr. Hounds Is my ather-ln-law ; know who Mr. Hosewater Is ; invo seen tills hlllv In question ; It belongs o me ; I got ttiat about live month * ago when uy honsu was burglarizedMr. ; Moynlhan , ot Ifecletoptlvo agency , gave It to me ; sometimes would cany It everv day and sometimes votild not have It lor two or three weeks ; 1 wvc no ill-feelings lowaul Mr. Ho ewnlcr ; 1 lo not care about him ono way or the other ; have nothing but n feeling of supreme con- empt for him ; have no trellng ot animosity ounrds him ; never hid the slightest desiree o do him any bodily harm ; I would ns soon lit a child. After tins very nasty newspaper var ot which both of us should he heartily nshamed , Cadet Taylor told mo that , at Lin coln , alter the publication of an article In the 'epublican , Mr. Kosewater announced that 10 was going to shoot me , if It was not for his thim : or that ; 1 had not tin ! slightest fear it that tlnu'5 1 can-led this billy with me lights when I went homo long befoio this ; did not cairy It tor Mr. iosowater ; left home that morning about a quarter to t ) o'clock ; carried tills illiy homo with me , the night before , about J o'clock : was down town about 'J o'clock ; vent to Mr. Kechel's olllce ; had an engago- noiit there : saw Mr. Council there ; wo were llsciissing the Fouith ward ticket ; was going straight f i om Mr. Hechel's to my olllce , to ucet Mr. Haitlctt ; hail an onuagoment with ilm ; ho was to meet mo with a carriage. ; irst saw Mr. Kosewater as 1 passed the cor- lerot Klcventh and I'arnam ; ho seemed tone no to bo standing at the telegraph polo alklnc to Mr. Hawos' ; am not stiro whether lieaid Ills voice before 1 saw him : he slatted owards me and said 'You ' or something nf that soil and spoke n lefereucu to the article that I wrote , that I tad made a .scandalous or scuiiihms attack in him , and ho stalled with his hind up in Ills wav [ Indicating ! aud 1 immediately ran uy hand down into mv pocket and struck ilm with the Hist thing 1 could pet hold of ml that was the billy ; th.it was the lir.st Imu 1 had seen Mr. Hoiewater that uornlnc ; his throwing his hand up anil linking.'tho remark wns what dad called mv ittention ; Mr. Hosewater looked like a man onvulsoil with rage , and was using lauguairo hat I do not care to tepcat ; didn't notlco low ho was dressed ; his manner convinced no that he had cot up some courage and was ; olngtokill me ; struck him as hard is 1 could ill him , which was not very hard ; alter I hit ilm Pat llir.vc.sgot hold ot him and I stopped back and didn't make any move after that ; I lldn t have any apprehension of any further laiiger ; I had no intention whatever oC kill- ng Mr. Hosewater : 1 nnver had any inten- lon of killing anybody ; mv Intention was o defend myself ; saw Air.

( The ( .lelendnnt ottered in evidence , papers containing at tides written by Mr. Kosewater ofctrlmito Mr. Kothacker.j Crois-Kxam Ination Kothacker admitted hat when he struck the blow with thu slung- shot his intent was to disable or kill Ko > o- waler. He. denied that ho had earned a I'stol lately but had ono lying around somewhere. Cadet Taylor , being sworn , testified ; "I ( side In Omaha ; am tioasurer of the Omaha Uepubltcan company ; had a conversation with .Mr. Kosowater at Lincoln last winter at Japital hotel ; Mr. Kosowater came up to me , slapping his hands under great excitement , stating that lie hart just got a telegram from Mr. Hounds ; 1 niked him what the trouble was and ho said , there was a most vlllianous article written this morning nbout him ( Kosowater ) ; I told him that I hadn't read It uid tried to cool him down and ho did cool elf a little ; ho was very much excited and ho said that ho had telogriphed to us lo put a stop to Kothacker's articles or ho would stiow tlio whole thing up , nnd I asked him what ho would show up , and ho said Iho Itepubllcan : 1 told him that ho was at liberty to do bo , so far as I was concerned ; but , we came here intending to treat him with cour- lesy , and that the paper had done so lor several months ; that Mr. Hntliaekcr was down lo Lincoln , and Mr. Hosuwater over ids own biirnaturo wrote a letter attacking : ilm personally as 1 now remember it , saving that ho was a 'dead beat and a drunkard , ' nnd that the Kcpubllcau 'was in cahoots with contractors' to bieak its inlluenco at Lincoln on the charter. 1 told him If 1 understood Ills position correctly that ho had attacked Mr. Kothacker , and now that ho wanted Mr. Hounds nnd me to tie his ( Uothnckcr's ) hands and not let him defend himself ; that wo would not do that ; that wo didn't like tlieso articles any moro than ho did ; that ho had begun the war and ho must take the consequences. During the conversation l think ho said if ho [ KotliackerJ didn't stop he fKosewaterl would kill him : he repeated that two or three times , and linally said if it was not for his family , one or the other would die In twentv- lour horns ; I think Mr. Council nnd Paul Vnndervoort were close by : ho repeated it several times ; I told him it ho didn't want anything moio said to lei It drop , and ho taid liu would answer It , and 1 told him that ho nilnht cot something worse and he said he thought It was Impossible ; that that was as bad as It could bo ; 1m was excited ; 1 con- vevoif that Intelligence to Mr. Itotlmcker. " Nothing new was developed in the cross- examination. W. J. Council , belmj sworn , testified ns follows : "i saw Mr. Kothaeker on the mornim : of this occurrence , several times be fore and after tlio occuncnco ; 1 met him nt Mr. Uechel'ti ollicu : do not know whether 1 heard It mentioned where ho was going fiom Mr. ISoohcl's ollico ; saw Mr. Koiowater , also.

Mr. Taylor's , I know that Mr. Hosowater was considerably worked nn over the nrticlo that appeared in the Krpubtican that morn ing , and ho nppioached Mr. Taylor and had some conversation with him concernim ; it ; Mr. Taylor was quiet and heard what Mr , Kosewnter imd to say , nnd made some 10- BPOUSO in a quiet liiolfenslvo way , aud 111 the couiso ot the conversation , Mr. Kose- water lemaiked that if it was not for lib family that ho would shoot Hothacker , 'shool him at sight , ' peihaps , that was the expres sion. " It. II. Tower , bolnz sworn , testified as fol lows : "I left my olllce , on the lower partol Fa main slrcet , on the morning of this occur rence , and , as I nppoachcd about In front ol \Vells , Fargo'sexpress ollico 1 saw Mr. llawe : nnd Mr. Kosowator ; 1 saw .Mr. Kothaokei and Adolph Meyer working off the othci way ; Mr. Moycr , hthat tlmo , had taken something away from Mr. Hotlmckcr ; 1 stepped up to Mr. Itothackcr nnd said to him : 'This Is no plnco for , a lits.s of this kind , ' aud , nbout that time , Mr. Hothacker came up In front. Mr. KothncUer was saying nothing nnd Mr. Kosewater said : 'You - . fits Is Iho second time lhavo been slugged : ' at that .Mr. Hothacker tuailo n pass nt Mr. Kosovtater and this gentleman ( pointing to a person in tlio court ] bete , caught him , Koth acker. by the arm and threw him off the side walk. " walk.V. F. llechel being sworn deposed nnd said : " 1 inn In the express business , on I'arnam stieet ; Mr. Council , .Mr. Hothacker and myself were at the otlice on the morning of this trouble ; Mr. Uosevi.iter was down nt the foot of the stairs ; 1 saw him coming firross the street and Mr. Council went down to speak to him : he.ltd Iho engagement of Mr. Holhacker to meet Mr. Hattlell at his olllce and flunk Mr. Kallounlsom ucnrrlngo ; lie [ Kotliacker ] ald lie \\ould be theiu ns soon as the cauta.e ; he left and 1 left nt thu same time ; 1 nlwajs go the s.uui ; way that .Mr. Hotlmcker went , ito his ollico. J 11. , I. Mo.uilhati , being sworn , deposed nnd said : "Am proprietor nf the Moynilun Doicctltc ageney ; kno < v Mr. Kothackor ; have Known him since last September : It that Is the billy that Mr. Hothacker had 1 have seen it : four or Iho months ago , Mr. Hothr.cker called at my olllce , ono morning. nml said ids house had bci'U burglarized ami 1 gave It to him ; 1 sild Mr. Hothackor , 'Put this in your pocket ; you have to go over thai hilt nlL'hls and it is a linmly tiling to have , ' nnd that they were hohllm ; up lots of people there ; have been a detective twelve jenrs ; UiMco ollleers carry Instruments of llial kind in Xcw York nnd Chicago ; citizens , generally , where they aio out late at night earty borne kind of n weapon ; 1 have seen lots of reputable eltl- /.enscairy that kind of a weapon ; heard Mr. Hothacker read tlio article In ( he Hii : : which his In the Kcpubllcan was an nnswer to. When lie read It , several jokes were pay-od ; lie laughed and joked over it ; it did not seem to annoy him nt all. " This closed the testimony for llio defense. County Attorney Slmernl them made a short uililiess , showing that nothing which had been publtsnrd In the pa per would have justified the attack made by Mr. Hothacker. lint ono wiluoas had testi fied that Mr. Kosuwatcr I ml used an nppro- prolirious term toward Mr. Hothacker , but even that did not justify such an attack ns had been made by tlio defemlint. That the assault was with the Intent of murder was shown by tlio testimony lelatim : to Koth- acher's expression that ho would kill Kose water at the time of tlio attack. The duty of the court was to hold the defendant to the district , where the n , alter could be heard by a jury. If so held and the jury did not sus tain the clirrue. both tiio court and the attor ney could feel that that they had done their duty. The defense submitted the case without ar gument. The court held that under the complaint It was necessary lo show murderous Intent on the part of Mr. Hothacker.

Ever > ouo knows Hamlet nnd those who attended Iho perlormancu wore braced for a least ot rtnson and philos opliy , an intellectual treat that made an ngiee able change from the average lheatilc.il bill hv reason of its novelty as well as for Its excellence. The lim- erral sombrennss o the play Is betler calculated to engender leth argy than enthusiasm but with Iluoth's interpretation ot Hamlet's cha racter It bcomeil a now and delightful study. With his womleiful insight to develop e\cry subtle meaning ot the text , thesime masterly in telligence thrt makes his Klchelieii seem so apart from all others constitutes him the only Hamlet. To eulogize nil nctor of liooth's incontestable genius Is mipoilluous , to at- lempl any lemark of a critical natuio would bo presumptuous , lie Is absolutely a mon- arcii in his profession.
