NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS George J , Stephens , Who Wns Shot Qatur day , is Buried , HIS SON JJSTiriED IN KLLING HIM Coroner' * Jury , After HctllicrntliiR Over the Teitliumir , riuiln ( lint the Ifatnl Hliot Wns Tired In Defciuo of belt nuil Mother. George J. Stephens , who wns shot Saturday morning , was burled yesterday afternoon , the funeral exercises taking place at Ills late lioiuo on Fifth avenue , Hev. 0. G. Ulcc of- llclnting , In the mornlnr ; a pttit mortem examination was in ado by bra. Treynor nnd Jennings , which proved conclusively that the marks- munshlp of IG-ycar-old Robert Chapman , the dead man's stepson , was better than he sup posed. The third shut , which was fired at Stephens aa hu run after his wife down the 'iftli nvcnuo cut , was thought to have been random one , but the bruise on the back of he ilcail man's head , supposed to have been auced by his falling In the street , turned ut to have been made by a bullet , which as found underneath the skin on the back f the head. It had been flattened into a hln sheet of lead by Its contact with the one , but had not fractured the skull. Ticath , the examination showed , was atised by the wound In the abdomen. The ither bullet entered just buck of the slioul- ! cr , passing underneath the shoulder blade , .ml struck the first rib. breaking a piece olt nearly nn Inch In length. The d ctors de- Idcd that the suppuration from this wound ivould huvo caused death ultimately , al- hough It might have taken n week or so for t to have head Us final eftcct. The Inquest was held by Coroner Jennings Hstep'H undertaking rooms In the after- loon. The evidence brought forward showed .hat Stephens had abused his wife most irutnlly for a period of eight years , cover.ng utmost ( lie whole of their married life. She estlficd that ho had frequently come home Irunk and choked , beat and kicked her and hrow het down , threatening to kilt her until iho had actually begun to fear that lie would end her llfo In his drunken rage. When he ivas sober ho was little better to her. She denied touching the pistol , and said she never fired a weapon In her lfe : , and could not be Induced to under any circumstances. IJOY TELLS OP Tilt : KILLING. Uobert Chapman , the IB-year-old boy who llrcd the fatal shot , said that his stepfather and he were on friendly terms when the lat ter was sober , and that Stephens taught aim to shoot. Ills sister woke him Saturday morning and told him that his father was raising a disturbance outside , threatening to kill them all and burn the house down. She got the revolver , which she had hidden away from Stephens , and they went together out to the shed , where they could see Stephens striking matches and hear him cursing and making his threats. When Stephens saw them ho got up and came after them. The boy fired twice , and his stepfather ran out of the shed and around the house. Mrs. Stephens ran out the front door and down Fifth nvemi3 toward the residence of John T. Stewart , as she had done many times be fore under like circumstances. Stephens fol lowed her and Just as she started out of the yard the boy fired again. The boy testified that on one occasion his father broke n shinny club on him for some trlll'ng offense , and again threw a hatchet -and a stick of wood at him under like provocation. Officers Cousins and James O'Brien told of hearing the shots while they were at the Kiel hotel. On running up the street to gether they found Stephens lying by the roadside , and he told them that his wife shot him. They went on up to the house and found the boy , who told them that ho had shot his stepfather , and fished the revolver out from under a bureau , where he had hidden It after the shooting. Both of them said that Mrs. Stephens , when asked about the shooting , said , "I had to do It ; I was driven to It , " and to Cousins she said , "Here I am. I would rather spend the rest of my llfo In the penitentiary than live as I have done for the past few years. " Liter on , however , she changed her story and said em phatically that she had nothing to do with the shooting. The corcner's Jury , which consisted of II. C. Beebe , T. J. Evans and C. S. Hnbbard , were only out a few minutes , and returned a verdict of justifiable homicide on the part of Robert Chapman , finding that ho shot the de ceased to protect himself and his mother.

Suit . \KuliiHt mi Insurance Cnmpnny. A suit commenced In the district court yesterday by Augusta Blederman , widow of L. Biedcrman , against the Fidelity Protective union and J. II. Cleaver , truasurcr , calls up the dlfilculty between Blederman , during tils life one of the best known Odd Fellows In the state , and the company of which he was the founder and one of the ofllcers. ThJ amount demanded Is $2,000 , the face of an Insurance policy which he held In ths com pany. This company was dissolved several years ago , owing to a little feeling that ex isted among the other ofllcers toward Bleder- man , and also to a chance these officers had of getting better olllcea In the National Fra ternal Llfo association , which was an older and stronger Institution. As near as could bo found out by parties on the outside , the dissolution was a sort of freeze-out game against Blederman , and the majority won. Hut Blederman refused to turn over his allegiance to the National Fra ternal , and would not give up his policy In the other company. The Fidelity has now about 300 members , and assets In the mor tuary fund to the amount of something over $1.000 , besides $7,000 In the hands of the auditor of state In the ihape of a reserve. J. J. Stewart , as attorney for Mrs. Bleder man , served notice upon the defendants yes terday , and the petition will be filed before the opening of the August term.

Hewitt were busily engaged yesterday morning In trying to settle the vexed question ot which had the better right to represent the Wizard Tele phone company as attorney. Hewitt claimed he was the attorney , for he had been hired by the beard of directors when C. J. Willow ; the ex-president , was still president. Ware , on the other hand , showed that at a meeting of the board of directors of the company held Saturday Ell Brown had secured a corner on the board and ' .iad Hewitt's engagement canceled nnd Ware put In his place. Hewitt claimed that this action of the board , If there was such action , was Illegal. The matter came up In connection with the trial of the cases of the Hammer Lumber company , the Franklin Printing company , the Empkle Shugart Hardware - ware company and Klmball Bros , against the Wizard Telephone company , which were to be tried In Justice Vlen's court. After hearing the wrangling of the attor neys for an hour or two. Justice Vlen took the case to his closet , and It wag not until 1 o'clock that he came out and said he had determined to compromise by recognizing both as attorneys for the defendant. Then came another dispute. Ware wanted to con fess Judgement and Hewitt didn't. But It de veloped that Hewitt had filed no answer , so that the court had nothing to do but to ren der Judgments by default In each of the cases. The Hammer Lumber company re ceived $9.87 , the Franklin Printing company $14.76 , the Empkle Shugart company $15.95 and Klmball Bros. $50. This settlement at the difficulty Is not at all pleasing to Mr. Hewitt , nnd there Is a probability of an appeal being taken.

Her name Is ledwlz Volker , and her home Is at 1922 Lake treet. She Is of the first generation of her 'amlly born In this country , but for all that he hati already tumbled to the great con fidence trick that Is worked in Its various guises In this country. Hedwlz left home yesterday morning to find a job. She applied at various places , but was Invariably tuld that she was oo small to be employed. Finally she got Ircd of the bootless search , and In some nanner came Into the possession of four liver-plated sugar spoons , new and packed n a box. Armed with these she wended her ivay to South Sixteenth street and laid In i\alt for suckers. When a nice and appar- ntly tender-hearted gentleman approached ho started In to turn her trick. She said hat she was a lonely orphan , both her par ents having died a year ago. All the pos sessions that had been left her had ben solder or food cxcspt the four upoons she had , ivhlch her father had given her mother for wedding gift. Several hungry brothers and sisters were waiting for her to bring home some bread to put Into their starving anatomies. Hedwlz did not appear to be In the last stages of starvation , and consequently she .vas . not very successful In her operations , and finally she was steered against a police man. She told the same story to him , nnd In inswer to a question said that she llvd nt Seventeenth and Leavenworth streets. The policeman's big heart was touched and he started on the way to the address with "Isdwlz , expecting to see a sad pccne of des itutlon. When they got there , however , ledwlz could not find her home , and finally she owned up that she lived at Twentieth and ke streets. This aroused the suspicions of the pollc.man , and he sent the girl to the police station. She was placed In the care of Matron Cum- ng , and to her said 'that she found the spoons on Twelfth and Jackson streots. She also admitted that she had both a father and mother In the land of the living. Mrs. Cum- ng came to the conclusion Uiat the girl had stolen the spoons , and she took her on a trip among the stores of the central part of the city. None of them , however , had lost any poons. The girl was taken back to the station and her father was notified. Ha took ler home , and although ho cquld talk but lit' : le English , he Intimated by , his actions that Hedwlz would faro 111 vyheii she reached her abode. _ _ One trial will be sufficient to install Dr. Price's Baking Powdjr In the kitchen of every housckeepeV. _ _ AFFAIRS ATSOUTH OMAHA ( Ity Council's Ke ii'iir ' Monthly Scislon Mu- lototl to ICotiilno llusltU'Hn.

At the mcetng of the Board of Education last evening the amount of the annual levy was the principal topic of conversation.

Cassat , ex-stato senator and president of Hie First National bank at I'clla , made a sensational attempt to commit suicide In the bank bulld- ng. The bank was closed today by order of omptroller Eckels. It Is In bad shape and much Indignation exists over the matter. Cassat has been largely trusted. For some ( me he has been speculating to a consider able extent on the Chicago Hoard of Trade and had suffered heavily of late , one deal last week costing him about $14,000. Fcr some time past ho has been drinking heavily. About 10:30 : Sunday morning the assist ant cashier found Cassat In n room at the rear of the bank , lying on a cot , with the blood oozing from three ugly gashes In his liroat , and from a slight wound In the right eg. He was still alive , but was weak and unconscious and probably still under the In- HtiencD of liquor , in which ho had Indulged quite freely. It appears that Cassat poured .lolson Into the wounds to aid death , but the whisky counteracted this. His family Is prominent. His friends claim the depositors will be mid In full.

Leaves of absence were granted to Janitor IJobout for nvo days , Fireman and Captain H. Clement of hose company No. 9 for fifteen days. Clement has been off duty but forty days blnco 18S7.

Patrolmen D. W. Her and W. R. Eagchlll asked to be made mounted patrolmen. The matter of the rehearing of the charges on which Ofllcer Ciustavlson was discharged will be taken up at the next meeting. The proposition of the Union Pacific com pany to glvo the use of the Durant engine to the city will be considered further on t'ao recommendation of a committee. It Is the desire of the board that a stipulation bo agreed on that the city shall not be liable for dam ages to the engine when the flre department is not at fault. H was decided to take no action Imme diately on the application of ex-Firo Chief Galllgan to be appointed Inspector for the flre department. This was because the com- mltteo on laws , ordinances and regulations , In its report prescribed the duties of BUC/II / officer , but failed to recommend the es tablishment of the olllcc. The matter was therefore referred back. Owing to the ab sence of Mayor Hemls and Commissioner Smith the hearing of the charges against Onicc-r Meals , begun at the last meeting , was continued until the next meeting.
