Barton shot HezeKlaa Hlvely at noon today. The ball entered the toft side ot the face , clone to the nose , glanced upward , where It struck a bone , and then glanced downward and lodged In the base of the brain. Last night Barton came homo drunk and began abusing bis wife , t'lit toward morning they quieted down and Hi" neighbors thought that It was merely a d-jnken quarrel and that it had been s t- t r.l Vboiit 10 o'clock this morning Dive HUHy , a 16earold brother of Mrs Bar- ion who llv In the nouth end of town b his parents , came up atter his slater o things and waa going to take them ( o r father's place when Barton got after t m with a razor Young Hlvely was car- rvlng a piece of a buggy ahatt about two feet 1 ng and struck his arm with It. The rarer struck Barton's face , cutting an ugly gash \t\fr \ this Hlvely went home and appar ently thought nothing more about It About noon Barton went to the hardware store and purchased a revolver and went down to his father-ln-law'a house , as he now says , to apologize , but In place ot doing this he shot at Dave , but the bullet missed Us marlc and struck the father There Is every hope of Mr Hlvely recovering , the ball having touched no vital point Papers were Issued for Barton's arrest He was placed In custody about 2 o'clock and will have a preliminary hearing before Justice Meyers this afternoon. Barton has always borne a good reputation since bo has lived here TO ASSIST SUPREME COURT I.esal I.lKhts UxnrenK Their Opinions oil the Micccnttoii llcrently Mnile by The lice. The following letters have been received relative to The I1ee' suggestion with re gard to rellevlnt : the Judges of the supreme premo court SUPERIOR , Neb , Feb 5 To the Ed- iior of The Bee Replying to your favor of the 29th ult asking for my views on vour plan for the relief ot the supreme court , I have not given the matter suf ficient thought and investigation to hazard an opinion upon the feasibility of the plan suggested That our supreme court is over worked and business Is accumulating to such an extent as to discourage both liti gants and attorneys Is a fact well known to all of our citizens and some relief should bo 'Horded at the earllent possible time If t ie plan suggested in The Bee should be thought feasible by the supreme court I have no doubt the several Judges of the dis trict courts would gladly render such as sistance ? as required , consistent with the faithful discharge of their duties In their own districts Yours very truly , G W. STUBBS BROKEN BOW , Neb . Feb 6 To the Editor of The Bee Yours of recent date requesting my views on the plan suggested b- ; ou recently In The Bee that the dis trict Judges be required to abaist the t u- promo court received I am of the opinion 'hat the plan would not prove- practical While ItVis-mio'the entirenimc oCthe dis trict judge Is not occupied In the actual trial of cases , the greater portion of their time Is taken up either In the holding of rourt or the performance at chambers of work connected with their courts The in- 'ermlss > lens between terms of court during hlch they might dpvote some time to work la the Mipreme court would bo so limited that they would be of little practical as sistance Counsel , in their districts , who frequently require their attention at cham bers , would be put to great Inconvenience But to my mind , the most Important ob jection to your plan is that it contemplate official action without any authority of law The opinions of the district judges , though sanctioned by the supreme court , would not have the respect of the people or pven the bar that should bo given the acts of a rourt of last resort , for the reason alone hat the judge writing the same would hereby act purely voluntarily \ou will recollect there was no little crltl- ism of the commissioner system and oft- lme of the- acts of the commissioners which iv as probably without good reason , and which waa really the result of the limited uithorlty of the members of the commlH- ilon. the unusual manner of their selection tnd want of responsibility to thf people Tut behind that system there was some aw and the commissioners were clothed nlth eomo lesal authority , while behind our plan It would seem there Is no law , and ho district Judges in the supreme court Rould be absolutely without any legal au- borltr What we need Is more supremp judges nd whiln your plan might ho sompthlng era a makrt hlft and tend to keep down the a. cumulation of the work ot the supreme court I fear It might serve a an cxciibe for continually refusing to amend the con- uuiitlou providing for additional supreme Judges whllo If no help is given the su preme court the people , when given another opportunity , will certainly provide for ad ditional Judges. I bplfpve the next time the proposition Is submitted the bar of the state , out of neces- M ty will take- - hold of this question and see tbut the proposed amendment Is adopted. Respectfully.

GENTLEMEX : In justice to you , I feel it is my duty to send you an acknowledgement of the re ceipt of the sample bottle of Swamp-Hoot you t-o kindly s nt me. I had been out of health for the past five years with kidney and bladder trouble. Had our best physicians prescribe for me. They would relieve me for the time being , but the old complaint would in a short time return again. I sent for a sample bottle of Swamp-Root , and I found it did me a world of good. Since then I have taken eight small bottles bought at my drug store and I consider myself perfectly cured. I do not have to get up during the night to urinate as I formerly did , three or four times a night , but now sleep the sleep of peace. My back is all right again and in every way I am a new man. Two of my brother officers are still using Swamp- Root. They , like myself , cannot say too much in praise of it It is a boon to mankind. We recommend it to all humanity who are suffering from kidney and bladder diseases. My brother officers ( whose signatures accompany this letter ) as well as myself thank you for the blessing you have brought to the human race in the compounding of Swamp-Root. We remain , Yours very truly , JAMES COOK , Officers of the 65th Police Precinct. Greater New York. HUGH E. BOYLE , JOHN J. BODKIN. DEAR SIRS : Received your sample bottle of Swamp-Root which you were good enough to send me. It helped me wonderfully. Have since taken two bottles purchased from my druggist. It seemed as if my back would break in two Avhen I got up after stooping. I am now entirely cured and cheerfully recommend your medicine to anyone suffering from kidney disease. 12 Grand Street , New York City. JOSEPH TRAVERS. Nov 16 ISO1) ) .
