Grocer Hetzel end His Brother's Oredlloia
Having Another Hound In Court.
FOURTH TRIAL OF THE CASE OPENED
In the DUpoiltlon of Good * I * Al
leged l > y the Creditor ! nml Plaintiff U
S Seeking to JCcplovIn Slock Claimed
to Unto Keen | nought.
Heforo a Jury In Judge Keyeor's court
half * . dozen attorneys have started In with
the trial of the caw ) of Hetzel against Den
nett. No witnesses arc being examlneJ In
the present trial. The case has been tried
lour limes before , and whole stacks of writ
ten testimony llff piled upon the t-bles. These
the attorneys arc laboriously reading to the
Jury.
Jury.Frank
Frank J. Hetzel and Lovl 0. Hetzel are
brothers. Frank J. at present resides In
Omaha and has for sonic years been a mer
chant. Ills brother was also engaged In
business , having opened the Mammoth store
on Sixteenth and Douglas streets In August ,
3892 , and run the place for two weeks , doing
a trade of $1,500 per day. On August 2G he
disappeared from the city , and attorneys now
representing creditors claim thai he has not
been heard of lnco nor has the disposition
of his largo profits , they say , been accounteJ
for. .
The ult on trial Is a replevin action brought
by .Frank J. Hetzel to recover possession of
a stock of goods which ho claims to have
bought from P. C. Itude. Hudc claimed
title to the goods by virtue of a bill of sale
from Frank J. Hetzcl's brother , who has
Elnco disappeared. Tha transactions , all of
Which took place In August of 1892 , just
about the time the Mammoth store wo. ?
closed by Lovl's creditors , have been at
tacked by his creditors , who caused Bennett ,
the then sheriff , to levy attachments on the
Block. The whole suit , which has four
times gone to a. Jury , turn'i upon the effort
to discover whether the sales of the
property were fair or fraudulent and
made to beat creditors. The first trial of
the casa took place In November , 1893 , when
Frank J. Hetzel secured a verdict for 5 cents ,
In addition to tnt goods. The next time the
Jury disagreed ; ihe next time they reduced
the damages to 1 cent , and gave Hetzel the
goods , and In the last trial , held last Jan
uary , Hetzel's verdict was set aside. The
case has not yet reached the supreme court ,
as the court constantly sets the verdict
aside.
The evidence which Is being Introduced
travels over the name lines of proof followed
heretofore , and relates to the close relation-
ehlp of the parties. The fact Is pointed out
that Hetzel's father-in-law , George Leonard ,
was Interested as a party , that he claimed
to have been owed money by Levl Hetzel ,
nnd that ho bought the stock of goods In
question , partially cancelling this Indebted
ness to pay for his purchase , In addition to
paying $5,000 In cash. It Is claimed that
Leonard had overdrawn his bank account at
the lime when he says tlmt he got Ihe money
to make tlio purchase. The attaching cred
itors also claim to have testimony to show
that foap boxes and the like , at the time ol
the crash , were found In out-of-lh-way
places , stuffed with articles sold at Ihe store
As evidence of fraud they show that three
carloads of Hour were shipped from Omaha
by Frank J. Hetzel to his father-in-law al
Perry , la. , about tha lime of the flnancla
trouble. Hetze ] denies anything out of the
way In the deals.
BASIS OK Till : CAN A I , OPPOSITION
Intorrennri Hot Down Their ltcnion § In an
Aimwor to I'riunutiirV I'utltlnn ,
The position of the Interveners in the
canal mandamus suit Is no\y known. They
have filed their answer asking to have
the suit dismissed as against the county
con.mtssloticrs. This answer Is made to th
petition of D. C. I'aterson , who \\lshes at :
order of court to Issue compelling the board
to call a special election.
_ The Intcrvenors take Issue with the
ment made In the mandamus petition tha
the commissioners were presented with a
petition signed by 15,500 legal voters asking
for a special election , U Is denied tha
the petition was such as the law required
The answer denies that the county has su'll
clt'iit funds to pay election expenses , as i
la claimed It would cost $14,000 , and then
la no money In the general fund. The
answer details the Indebtedness of Douglai
county stating that It owes In bonds $795,000
that her annual expenses are $350,000 , and I
now owes $200,000 for poor farm real estate.
The expenses and Indebtedness of Omaha
and South Omaha are also detailed , the debt
of the former being placed at $5,710,50695
and the latter at $1,500,000. Allusion I ;
made to other towns and It Is claimed tha
In view of the present assessment a furthe
tax would bo confiscation , Illegal and unjust
To require the board to act under the clr
cumstanccs , it Is stated , would bo wrong ,
as It has never had a showing made befon
It that a canal could be built for the sum
named , but It Is alleged that It would taki
at least $1,000,000. It IB claimed In th
answer that the Tlntte river west of tin
Loup nuih dry at certain seasons and thi
Loup and Klkliorn arc being used for irrlga
tlcn ; that the rain fall has been decreaslni
and. It would be extravagance and folly t
build the canal. The claim Is made that fo :
$500,000 and an annual expenditure o
$205.000 a U.OQO horse power steam plan
could be run. U Is stated that no corpora
tlon or Individuals have signified a deslr <
to use the power for navigation , light , hca
or otherwise , and the county's right ti
construct Is challenged on the ground tha
It would be taking property for prlvat
purposes. _

fences are all being overhauled and repaired
and new betting sheds elected , and the sane

Already there are more than 100 horses on

of the thoroughbreds who are on hand bright
and early to catch every move that Is made.
The stable boys , jocks and rustlers are In

DEATH DUB TOT. DESPONDENCY.
Contractor SlntmantlaCUadi Ills Trouble * bjr
Tnklitff JHS * Life.
Tbo body of CharloIl i , Slmmonds , a local
contractor and builder , was found yes
terday morning on .tii doorstep ot his
residence , Forty-third and Vlnton directs ,
A revolver closely rtnipcd In his right
land and a ghastly wound over his
leart told the story at Ma fate. Ills
D xxly was cold and bad ! evidently been lying
whire It was found since seine tlmo Monday
evening.
Nothing was left 16 furnish a reason for
Slmmonds' sclf-dostructlon. He was n mar
ried man with ono child and during the past
few years misfortune * seemed to have ac
cumulated upon him , It Is presumed that
these and consequent despondency led him
to take his life. Some years ago ho was
the proprietor of a planing mill on South
Thirteenth street. This establishment was
burned and with It went most of his worldly
gooda. Then he went Into the contractIng -
Ing business , but owing to the hard times he
has been unable to obtain regular employ
ment. The neighbors have been compelled to
assist him several times during the past
winter and It Is known that he keenly felt
the humiliation of partial destitution.
During the past few days he had been cm-
ployed by Coutnnt & Squires , and abput 3
o'clock Monday afternoon he finished a job
at Mr , Coutant's residence. At that time
ho told the men that they would have to
look to the firm for their pay , as he would
not be there after that day. He then left
for home arid that was the last seen of him.
It seems that during the night Slmmonds
? ot up and went out of the front door , tak
ing the revolver with him. He had evi
dently stepped down on the walk and then
flaced the muzzle of the weapon against his
breast and fired. He lay where he fell until
7 o'clock In the morning , when he was dis
covered by John Hcnsman , a passing milk
man. Hensman attempted to go Into the
yard to see what was the matter with the
man , but was driven away by two ferocious
dogs which belonged to Slmmonds. He
then notified John Norherg and another neigh
bor , who went over to the Slmmonds place
and remained until the arrival of the au
thorities.
On his arrival In the city Hensman re
ported the facts to Coroner Maul , saying that
he did not know whether Slmmonds was
drunk or hurt. The patrol wagon was driven
out to the residence , and as soon as It was
ascertained that Slmmonds was dead , the
coroner was sent for.
The body was found lying as It fell. Both
hand- " were doubled tinder It , and the re
volver was still held close to the wound. The
remains were brought to the morgue , where
an Inquest will be held at 11 o'clock today.
One peculiar feature of the affair was the
absence of Mrs. Slmmonds and the little
Klrl. A neighbor was found who said that
he had s.en them leave the hou-e early In tlis
morning. They could not have possibly left
without discovering the body , and these cir
cumstances gave rise to some rumors of foul
play. It was ascertained afterwards that
Mrs. Slmmonds Is partially Insane , and this
Is said to account for her strange actions.
She went to the home of a relative at
Twenty-fourth and Leavenworth sire Is ,
where she still remains. The authorities
are satisfied that It U a plain case of suicide ,

RANK MOCKERY.
Tlio mmislng fonttiro of our srtcclnl offering la tlio mock Imitation ,
more suitably expressed rank mockery , practiced by some of our com-
lietltors.
As wo previously announced , wo sell an all wool boys' suit for
$ l.f)0. That It caused an empty fcclhiK In some boys' clothes btorea
Is not to bo wondered at. We expected It. A sacrlllclng sale llko
that was certainly not Inaugurated to teach dress reform In Daho
mey , but to bcnelH the public llnanclally and promote our good will
commercially.
lint It cnmo to pass that a hailstorm visited us , and at all ap
pearances It balled ? l.no all wool suits , livery mock dealer has
8onu > , and some even claim better than ours ; that they're knockers ,
which wo presume can be proven by the amount of damaged windows
dews In town.
Very good. Hut where arc these suits , that are supposed to bo
as good as ours at that price ? Why not Vrodueo them ? And If as
good as ours why charge ? 'J. " > 0 and wait until whipped to do the
honest thing ?
Ours are hero , some , and a good nmny on the forms of the llttlu
ones. They're A DOLLAR AND A HALF as long as they last. All
wool double-breasted , dark anil light gray Cheviot.
Tlic $2.50 kind ( blue and black Cheviot ) wo mentioned In our
previous announcement Is not < inlto sold out. Grant you a few days
longer. We don't mind to be Imitated legitimately , but draw the
line tight against dishonest mockery.
