[ Special to Tan Cnc.l A rather strange shooting nfTray Is reported from Denton precinct , on the farm of E. I ) . Slawson , eight miles southwest of tno city. The story as told is to the effect I that James Pert , a neighbor to Slawson , was ' ridinu' past the lattor's place at a swift gallop i when a dog rushed out after him. Alter Pert rode n short distance .past Slawson's house , ho whlpjxnl out a revolver nnd shot , ho claims , at the dog. Mr. Slawson and a ten-year-old boy named Charley Davis wcro near the dog , nnd the bullet , instead of striking the cur , passed through the left lung of the boy , piercing the breast above the nipple. After passing clear through the body of the boy , the bullet struck Mr. Slawson's coat , making a hole through it. The boy , ns soon ns shot , dropped to the ground and bled frightfully. When Pert saw the disastrous effects of his shot ho Immediately OAUIO to Lincoln for assistance. Tha bullet Is of 45-callbrc , nna took n portion of the boy's clothing through the wound. It Is thought that the wound is serious. The boy formerly worked for Port , but loft htm , it is said , on account of ill treat ment. This makes the neighbors talk. A TOUKO FOllUEIl. Yesterday afternoon a well dressed young vman called ut Bella & Weaver's coalynrd and said that ho was Just married and wished to lay in some fuel for the winter. Ho ordered a quantity of fuel to bo delivered nt a house nt Eleventh ana C streets. Ills name , ho said , was AVIllinm Smith , and ho was helping Jones , Douglas & Co. , the wholesale cracker men , run their business. The yardman fig ured up that Smith's bill was $12.K ! ) . Mr. Smith diu not have that amount of cash with him , bat would a chock of the linn's bo nil right. The yard man thought It would , and when Mr. Smith presented a chock drawn in his favor by Jones , Douglas & -Co. , and au thorizing the Nebraska Commercial bank to pay $ iO thereon , ho was given a receipt for the coal and $7.10 In change. Ho was very particular that they send it up this morning , nnd departed with the look of a man who had done 1/w / duty well. When the yardinaster turned In the check last ovcnlng Mr. Belts thought there was something wrong about the matter and this morning telephoned to Jones , Douglas & Co. Prior to this , however , the coal nnd wood had been sent out to Eleventh and ( J streets , hut no ono of that name could bo found. Mi. Hotts asked of the cracker fac tory whore Mr , Smith worked , They did not know of any'Mr. Smith : no ono of that name worked for them. Thoyiworo then naked If they had given \Yilllain Smith a cheek on the Nebraska Commarcial bank. Thov had not nnd furthermore their banking plneo was the First national. Soon afterwards - wards Mr. Jones was shown the check and lie pronounced It n forgery. Smith had en dorsed the cheek , but that is in a different handwriting from the ono on the face of the ploco of paper. DotU it Weaver still have tholr coal nnd wood , but the yard man would llko nothing better than an interview with the evanescent William Smith. It was learned later that the snmo young man hnd gone to the yard of Hutchins & Hyatt , coal dealers , nnd ordered two tous of hard coal sent to Eleventh and C streets. Hero ho ulso presented n check for $30. but this one purported to bo signed by II. P. Davis It Co. , plutnbcrs. All the cliango ho received hero was $1.20 , nnd from there ho went directly to Uotts & Weaver.

Farnam and 15th St. over the fact that Ills name was left oft the republican tickets In Hock county. The only places where his uamo appeared were wliero it was written in lead pencil and most of those wcio on the independent ticket and warn cast by alliance men who were old soldiers. Hill received only 4S votes whllo Richards received 2S8. It is believed that Hill lost noout 300 votes in that county by the oversight of the coiitral committee. Captain Hill cannot understand how John Berry , the chairman of the committee , could have committed such a blunder. In Jefferson county Tom Benton received received the same Icind of treatment as Hill did in Hock county and lost over 150 votes thereby. In case the alliance people carry out their throat of contesting the election of those gentlemen - tlemen they can retaliate by contesting the elections In the counties whcro their names were omitted and thereby diminish the votes of their contestants. Bentonsays : "If they want a contest , we will give them all they want. " STATE HOUSE XOTES. Ilio state banking board has confirmed the appointment of W. B.

DEFENDS IN A HIGHER COURT Helfenstein , the Disturber of Happy Homes , Dies in St. Louis , SUDDEN ENDING OF CRUSTY CAREER , The Continuance of His Gumo of muffin This City \VII1 Proba bly bo Undertaken by Ills Progeny. The famous Holfenstoln cases , which have been on trial In the United States court for several ciuys , came to a sudden stop yes terday when Judge Covell , attorney lor the plaintiff , read a teloji-um to the court an nouncing that John * P , Holfonstcin , the plain tiff , had died after on illness of several years , nt 7 : ! K ) o'clock Friday night at hU homo at Webster Grove , a suburb of St. Louis , Mo. This news caused a murmur of surprise among both lawyers and spcctatorsand after a few moments of consultation with the at torneys for both sides JudgeDundy announc ed that the case would bo set aside temporarily arily until other arr.mgenicuts could bo made. Judge YounK of St , Louis , who has been hero as onoof the attorneys for tlio plaintiff , was been and stated thutMr. Helfenstein had ono son und llvo daughters who would prob ably bo his devisees , but ns ho was unaware whether or not the deceased had loft a will , ho would not say what the respective claims of these parties might bo. The son , John P. Hclfcustt'inJr. ) , is unmarried and lives In St. Louis , the daughters are Mrs. . .T.V. . Slaughter , Mrs. N. D. Thompson , Mrs. IM. Slmonds and Miss llolfenstcln , all of St. Louis , and Mrs. Wlllium M. Boll of Denver. During an informal discussion of the mat ter , after court hud udjournod , the attorneys for the plaintiff expressed a desire to push , the matter as rapidly as possible nnd stilted that , if the deceased hnd left a will and it had been probated without contest , they would substitute the heirs or executors of the estate as plaintiffs in the several cases , provided this arrangement was agreed to by the defendants. The attorneys for the defendants an nounced a willingness to consent to this method of proccduronnil if this can bo dona the cases will bo tnkon up again In about two weeks and pushed to' a finish. If this ar rangement cnnnot bo made , on account of any complication regarding the disposition of the Helfcustein estate , or for any other rea son , the coses will undoubtedly go over until another term. Judge Young.stated , that ho would return to St. Louis at ouco nnd confer with the de visees or heirs as to tbe steps to bo taken la the matter. Ho also stated that Mr. Ilclfcn- stein's wife hnd died during the present year nnd this fact had no doubt had an Influence upon tlio health of his la to client. Mr. Helfenstein wa horn In Maryland , of German parents , nnd had been in tno mercan tile business in St. Xiouis for a great many years , Of late , however , ho had lived a re tired llfo , having glve-u up his business al- fairs. . i \Vcathcr Probabilities.
