THE OMAHA DAILY BKE ; . SATURDAY , MAY 19. 1891. Boyle tohow to him the Dellone. It was then ten tnlnulM to 9. Shearer slid also that ho had been married , but refused to tate whether he was n widower or not. Ho said ho hail Jtwt mailed a couple of letters , ono to Webb and another to Emma Shearer , 14 Brighton I'lacc , Allegheny City. Pa. Ho said those were his children. Ho said ho wanted to advise them how to live. Ho then gave the names of some other parties to whom ho had written. They were Ml > 8 Kittle Nicholson , Conncllsvlile. Pa. ; Mr. Mc Ginn , Ottumwa , In. ; W. Kirkland. 14 Brigh ton Place , Allegheny City. Pa. ; MIHon Gilt- Tier , an uncle of Miss McCllntock , at Dan- longc , la. Ho left another addressed to the hotel proprletora , saying that his real name was J. B. Shearer. He desired that a telegram be Bent to Dr. W.V. . Shearer , Green Castle , Mo. , and another to Mr. McGinn , agent Adams Express com pany , Ottumwa ; also to turn over his be longings to Dr. Shearer when he came ( meaning that ho would come for his ro- malnii ) , and to turn over the letters .to Dr. Shearer. The letter Is signed J. E. Shearer , alias II. J. Hughes. It gives a poitscrlpt saying he assumed the latter namq because a man by that name had been Intimate with his promised wife In the room for which ho asked when ho went to the hotel , and It was Ills desire to occupy that room. Shearer was then unable to say more , and at last accounts was asleep. The contents of the other letters ho re fused to divulge , nor would ho allow them to bo opened. Ho said something about a statement ho would like to make before he nhould die , but ho wanted Miss McCllntock to bo with him when It was made. He could not make It without her , and at last ho said : "If I nee death U to come upon mo I will make It ; 1 would have made It In the room with her , but there was not time. " Ho called for a drink , which was given him , and ho fell back on the cot. The man's wounds nt first were not thought to bo serious. Dr. Snvlllc at first nald ho thought the bullet , that had ap parently entered the right lung cavity , might have glanced off , whllo ho was certain the ono that entered the left side would not prove fatal. Later It appeared that the man was bleeding Internally , and the doctor thinks the wound In the lung may provo fatal. Dr. Allison , who attended the woman , thinks she will recover. MISS M'CLINTOCK'S STORY. The wounded girl was seen at her room In the Dellono hotel n few moments after the shooting , and In giving her version of the affair stated that she formerly resided In Pcnnslyvanla , not far from the town of Alleghany City , where she first met Shearer , several years ago. Two years ago , leaving her mother , an Invalid , she came west and remained with some relatives near Ottumwa , la. , Ono year ago she came to Omaha and shortly after her arrival formed the acquaintance of II. J. Hughes , whom she recognized as a friend. The friendship continued for some time. Liter on she said that she returned to Iowa , where she again met Shearer and they became - came engaged to be married. After that she paid several visits to Omaha , meeting Hushes each time and receiving his at tentions. On December 15 they occupied a room at the Midland hotel , not as man and wife , but for the purpose of talking over their affairs. Soon after this Hughes re moved to San Diego , Cal. . and she returned to Iowa , whore she remained until Thursday , when she met Shearer , and from Ottumwa they came to this city together. They went to the Mid land hotel , where they were assigned to a room , Shearer registering as "II. J. Hughes and wife. " After going to the room she says that Shearer accused her of being un faithful and also ot being intimate with 'lughes. This she denied , and a scuflle en- cued , during which Shearer drew a revolver and threatened her life. Just as ho was about to fire , she says that the landlord burst In the door to the room and drove them out of the house. From there they went to the Dellone , where her companion registered as , "J. C. Shearer and wife. " They were assigned to a room on the second floor. As soon as they had entered the room , the woman says .that Shearer locked the door , drew the revolver from his pocket and again accused her of being , Intimate with other men , and especially so with Hughes. Once more , she states that she denied the charge , replying that Hughes was simply her friend and nothing more. Charges and counter charges were nude , after which Shearer fired nt her once and then turned the pistol upon himself and shot twice. As soon aa she realized that ttho was shot , sha states that she fled from the room , ran down the stairs and fainted. She said that Hughes has a brother who is a druggist on North Twenty-fourth street. Miss McCllntock says she Is 1 ! ) yoara old. She refuses to have her friends notified of the shooting.

( Special Telegram to The Bee. ) The advertised fistic encounter between James Llndscy of Omaha and \Vllllain Gibson of Cheycnno came on tills evening and resulted at the cud of the third round In a wrangle over a foul claimed by Gibson , which the referee refused to allow. The latter'j decision gave the fight to Llndsoy. Several matches between local sports oc curred before Llndscy and Gibson stepped Into the ring. U was evident from the start that the Omaha man was too much for the Wyoming descendant of Ham. In the first round the men sparred rather timidly for an opening , which was not discovered by either. In the second round , after several clinches , In the break-away Gibson struck his opponent and the latter claimed a foul , which was not allowed. Round closed with honors evenly divided. In the third round , after cnns'derablo clinching , Llndsey succeeded In planting a stinging blow under Gibson's left optic , bringing the latter to his knees. Whllo In this position Llndsey tapped him playfully on the cheek. The Wyoming man Immediately claimed a foul and left the ring and refused to continue the fight. i OF run KUXNING.

The subcommlt- tco of the senate committee on Interstate commerce , having In charge the bill for the regulation of pooling , 1ms submitted othci amendments In addition to these heretofore submitted , bearing upon false statement : made by cither shippers or railroad com panies or other common carriers , and provid ing penalties for these violations of the law. These amendments change section 10 of the present Interstate commerce laws. They Impose a penalty of $1,000 upon any person who shall deliver property for transporta tion to a common carrier and by false billIng - Ing , false classification , false weighing , falsa representation of the contents or by any sort of deceit or device obtain or seek to obtain transportation for such property at less than the regular rates then established on .tho line of the railroad or other common carrier In question. A like penalty Is Imposed upon the agent of any railroad company or com mon carrier who may assist In such deceit. A new regulation Is also made In regard to rebates which Is as follows : "Any cor poration subject to the provisions of this act , who shall In violation of the provisions of this act directly or Indirectly by any special rate , rebate , drawback , allowance or other device , or by paying or promising to pay any sum of money or other thing of value , charge , demand , collect or receive from any persons corporation or company a greater or less compensation for any scrvlco rendered or to bo rendered In the transporta tion of passenger's or property than Is charged , demanded , collected or received from any persons , corporation or company n tlons , company , person or party , shall will fully do or cause to be done , or shall will ingly suffer or permit to bo done , any act matter , or thing In this act prohibited or declared to bo unlawful , or who shall aid or abet therein , or shall willfully omit or fall to do any act , matter or thing In this act required to be done , or shall cause or will ingly suffer or permit any act , matter or thing , directed or required by this act to bo done , not to bo so done , or shall aid or abel any such omission or failure , shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall , upon conviction thereof In any court of the United States of competent Jurisdiction within the district In which such offense was committed , be subJect - Ject to a fine of not more than $5,000 for each offense. " It is not considered probable that the sub committee will have further amendments to offer and it Is the intention of the full com- mltteo to take up the amendments as soon as opportunity shall , offer for the purpose of completing the consideration of the bill. The bill has grown' from three pages , as first Introduced , 4o'pver.twenty pages. ALL RATKS/TOUIK IIBSTOIU'I ) . Kunta Fo nnd IMIssba 1'Pacific Declare the Wn&nt i , ii End. From telegrams PeceSvid at Missouri Pacific and Atchison headquarters it Is understood that rates will be restored absolutely May 28 on the part of Ujcsa. roads , two days later than the resloratlifii by the other trunk lines engaged" in the figgX over. Cole > rad"oand south western rates. Owls news wrfs received with pleasant satisfaction by the Colorado lines and everybody was feeling better than for a week .past. Assistant General Freight Agent .PhllllppLof the .Missouri Pacific corroborated the rumor thati-Presldent Rlnehart of the 'Santa Fo and Vice President Warner of the Missouri Pacific had Issued slmutaneously notices of restoration ol rates May 28 , the .requisite ten days notice thereby being given. Although the fight was of short duration It was one of the most disastrous In the history of western railroads , the decrease in property duo to the war amounting to about $3,000.000 In Colorado. Nebraska felt It somewhat , but not to the extent of Colorado , a conservative estimate as to the shrinkage In this state being $750,000. In the southwest shippers and others felt the reduction considerably , and as the war benefited nobody there Is the pleasantest feelings noticeable among all classes of business that the rates are to be restored.
