The Killing of Ilobert * .
The testimony in the Jones case drew
, o n u end hist evening. The defendant
nut three times been convicted for the
tilling of Roberts , but the evidence this
, imo has been a little stronger in his
behalf , the main fight being on the
{ ucstion as to whether ho was insane at
the time of the homicide. There baa
jecn less evidence introduced concerti
ng the family being broken t ) . Jones'
( on , who has been a witness before , and
md by whom it has been proved that
Roberts made some remarks rather dis
paraging to the the reputation of Mrs.
Tones , was not present at the trial. On
Jio part of the prosecution it has been
claimed strongly that Jones believed
; hat Roberts was largely responsible for
the breaking up of Jones' household ,
uid that the remarks made by
[ { obertH in young Jones' hearing
confirmed thisbelief. . On the part of
Lho prosecution is made the claim that
Tones did not provide for his fiun-
ly , that he misused his wife ,
md she wns obliged to leave him. It
ins been further claimed that young
Tones , who was but nine yearn of ago at
ihe time of the homicide , waseompollcd
: o testify concerning the remarks made
l > y Roberts , and that in his later years
lie did not dare go back on these state
ments. The defense wanted him for a
witness , as usual , but claimed not to bo
iblo to procure his attendance. His
.estimony , as given on the previous
.rial , was allowed to bo read to the jury.
The prosecution yesterday afternoon
endeavored to prove by witnesses that
young Jones had said recently that ho
, vus ashamed of himself for telling such
, hings about his dead mother , and that
, ho reason ho had done so before was
.hut ho was compelled to do so. This
testimony was ruled out on a technical
objection , so that it did not got before
-ho jury save in the form of an
nforenco ns to what the prosc-
, ion could prove , if only allowed to
lo so.
Last evening Sheriff Reel , who is a
H'other of Mrs. Jones , testified ns to the
reatmont she had received utthe hands
of Jones. Mrs. Jones went insane and
vas in the asylum for some time after
ho homicide , and afterwards died at the
ionic of Mr. Reel.
The trial has been an interesting one ,
lospito the fact that much of the uvi-
lence has been rehearsed time and time
iguin. Colonel Daily and Mr. Mynstor
or the prosecution liavo pushed the ,
claims of the state with vigor , and
Colonel Scott , for the defense , has con-
csted every point sharply , and on be-
lalf of the defendant has brought out
some strong testimony , especially from
he exports called upon to give their
ipinions as to his insanity , both now and
it the time of the homicide.

The Street I'nvlng.
Work has boon resumed on the street
paving. JudgOjJames claims that the
inspector is there to see that the work
Is done properly , and if it is overlooked
it is not the fault of the contractors.
Ho went down to the Northwestern
depot yesterday morning and repeated
his orders in regard to culling the posts
moro closely , and the result is a much
better grade of blocks. Mr. Keller is
elo.soly watching the work , and has
notified the pavers that nothing but
first-class work will bo tolerated. One
man was summarily "bounced" for dis
regarding orders , and the others are
now doing very good work. The gravel
now being used is brought from Dos
Moines , and is of the best quality.
Close inspection by Mr. Keller is as
sured and there seems to bo no reason
why the work should not give satisfac
tion when completed. The present lot
of posts is about all sawed and it is
hoped that the next lot will bo consid
erably better.
Ladies of Council BlulTs are cordially
invited to call and see Bliss' display ol

A BOGUS CATTLE KING.
A Senmitloii Which Btti-H Up t lie- Staid
Old Town of St. Joe.
The culmination of ono of the most
startling affairs that St. Joseph's upper
social crust bos ever known has just been
reached , and is the talk ot the city. A
, 'ear and a half ago a handsome , well-
dressed slrangor about thirty-fivo years
of ago , with the appearance and man-
icrs of a polished gentleman and , to all
ippearances , the pocket-book of a mil-
ionalro , landed in the city , hailing
from Texas. Ho represented himself as
1 cattle king , and had maps upon which
lie pointed out the exact location and
extonl of his ranches. He named the
Texas counties , described his ranches
tninulely , lolling Iho number of head of
calllo in each and Iho number of cow
boys ho employed.
No ono doubted him , for an expert
alone could have counterfeited with such
exactness the role of a catllo king and
made it pass in this city , whoso citizens
own moro head of cattle and more acres
of western ground than any city of its
size in the world. The man gave his
name as Henry W. Meyers. Ho gave
opera parties , wine suppers , etc. , and
was an nonored guest in the mansions
of St. Joseph's first families , sought
after by the ladies as an excellent catch ,
and by the men who were proud to call
him their friend.
Movers was in the .city over six
months , and while hero expended at
least $2 , ' > 00 in social pleasure. Ho mot
among other charming young Indies of
this city ono who was tlio belle of the
circle in which she moved handsome ,
accomplished , and possessing all the
graces Unit are said to give perfection
to the female character. He fell des
perately in love with her and she with
him. As a result , they wore engaged ,
and in a month , married. After living
with his young wife two weeks Meyers
suddenly disappeared , and has not been
seen in the city since. lie was mourned
as dead , and it wus supposed seine one
had murdered him and robbed him for
the immense sums of money ho was
popularly supposed to carry on his per
son. The wife was distracted , and the
local press at the time contained de
scriptions of the man and the oilers of
largo towards for the discovery of his
body.
The relatives of the wife , after the
first burst of excitement was over , wont
to Texas in search of this man's prop
erty , thinking some clue could bo dis
covered there. They did not succeed
in this , but did learn that no such man
had ever owned a foot of ground or a
single hoof in Texas. A little further
invosligation revealed Iho fact that
Meyer was beyond question a consum
mate scoundrel and an adventurer of
the first water. They returned homo
with their news , but kept it sacredly
within the bosom of the injured family.
No one over suspected the truth , and
the poor wife with her double grief was
remarked by the outside world for the
love she must have borne for her sup
posed dead huaband.
The final chapter * in the affair was
given to the public yesterday , and to-day
is publie property upon the streets of
this city. The present week a number
of prominent St. Joseph people altendcd
the Kansas City festivities , and when
returning from the Priests of Pallas
ball Thursday night , two of them
thought they recognized Iho cab-driver.
The facl that his face was familiar was
noticed by several others of the St.
Joseph party , and suddenly it dawned
upon them that ho was none other than
Mayors.

CAST UP BY THE SEA.
The Strange Discovery Made In n
Ijiirgo Abelone Shell.
San Francisco special to the Globc-
Domocrai : A mystery of the sea has
boon revealed by the finding on Iho
beach at Half-moon Bay , a few miles
south of Golden Gate , a largo abolono
shell bearing in mother of pearl a per
fect impression of a baby shoe. The
story , though stranger than fiction , is
verified by such a mass of evidence that
its truth cannot bo doubted. Twenty-
six y ars ago a little girl wandered
from its homo on the shore of Half-
moon Bay and was not seen again until
four days afterwards , when its dead
body was cast up by the waves which
break over the adjacent reef. The
child was supposed to have fallen from
a rock. Ono of its feet was gone , but
this was ascribed to the voracity of a
shark , or other fiosh-eatiiig sea monster.
Years passed by and the event was
almost forgotten.
Recently ono of the sons of the old
lady , and mother of the lost girl , picked
up on the beach a piece of a large abel
ono shell which had been thrown up by
the tide. Ho was astonished to find in
side the shell a perfect representation
of a child's shoe , oven to the little break
in the too where the leather bad worn
awav. Every detail was reproduced in
brilliant colors which are characteristic
of the interior of abelono shells. The
young man carried the shell home as a
curiosity.
The first person to whom he showed it
wns his mother. No sooner did the old
lady see it than she exclaimed : "It is
my baby's shoo , the shoo of my litllo
girl that was lost twenty-six years ago. "
The rest of the family riuiculi'd the
idea , but she produced the mate to the
shoe. A careful comparison showed
that the time incrusted shoo in the
shell and the memento of the dead
child carefully kept by the mother
through the years that she had
mourned her little ono , were un
doubtedly mates. The mystery of
the child's dealh was revealed at
last. Any one who knows
the nature and habits of theabelonecan
readily understand what occurred. The
lillle ono had vonlured out on the rocky
oof , had slipped from the rocks , anil
: ier foot had caught between the rock
mil the edge of a huge abolono shell.
At once it closed on the ankle , and the
ittlo ono was a prisoner , to be held until
the rising tide swept over her. Such
ases are not unknown.
A few years ago a Chinese was fre
quently seen in San Diego whose right
liand , with the exception of the thumb
md forefinger , was gone. The story
Lold by his mates was that while hunt
ing abelono ho incautiously inserted his
'
fingers under the sharp' edge of an
abelono shell. Before ho could with
draw thorn the shell closed down. Ho
lay on the rock , held by the hand till
Iho lido began to come. Seeing his
ilangor and realizing that ho had only
himself to depend upon for aid , he man-
iiged to got out his knife with his left
hand , and by dint of hard work hacked
off the imprisoned fingers and released
iiimsolf. The abclonc is a large uni
valve , the dried meat of which is ex
ported in large quantities from this city
lo China.
English sportsmen are scandalised by
Iho performances of some sboolcrs in

deer as often as they do bucks of proper
ago. Three young deer and Iwo bucks
are alleged lo have been shot in one
day , and ono young deer was found
wilh ono of its hind legs shattered by
shol so Unit the bone and sinews hung
to the limb simply by shreds of skin.
