A Jury fmpnn"IM by Coronr Prnllcy
ril(i an ln n"t Thursday nfternoon over
the body of Arthur Kuhn, who wan klilel
by rj.-urR" Hrrtkn'r on th evening 't
January 3. Th witness wore Ray Hfld
ln. Chnunrry Mullen, C,ootk and Jcmcs
Hrerknrr. Mrs. BrPckner, ChUf Bribes
Jailor Fowlrr and Chnr'.pK AMndt.
Of course the main witness. were tha
boyii who were on th" ground when the
rhootlng nrctirrrd. These lads, while they
attempted to tell straightforward stories,
became sadly tans;ld when County Attor
ney filabauKh questioned them. The talea
fit the shooting were substantially the
same as printed In The Bee. Mrs. Breck
ner told Rbuut her son George running
home and giving her a brief account of the
oreurrence. She told him to change his
dirty clothes and. handing hlra car fare,
told him to go to police headquarters and
give himself up. The lad followed lnstruc
tlons. The coat the boy wora when out
shooting van shown to the Jury and the
rents and patches were evident.
The general testimony tended to show
that there was no mullce, but that, as
Chief Brlggs had previously stated, the
death of Kuhn occurred through the care,
less handling of a gun. Breckner had shot
a crow and had cocked both barrels; shoot
ing one, he had forgotten to drop the ham'
mer on the other shell. The chief of police
could not throw any light on the subject
except as to his investigations made after
the shooting. Ir. his talk the chief said
that the shooting waa the result of care
lessness.
The Jury returned this verdict: "Arthur
Kuhn came to his death from a gunshot
wound Inflicted by George Breckner, on
January 3 near Tenth and Monroe streets.
We further find that the death of Arthur
Kuhn was caused by criminal carelessness
on the part of George Breckner."
This verdict was signed by the Jury,
which was composed of John J. Glllln, Ed
ward Todd, C. F. Mann, M. D. Brewer, V.
E. Hall and A. W. Adams.
County Attorney Slabaugh left the city
before the Jury had returned a verdict.
George Brerkner Is still being held In the
detention ward at police headquarters
awaiting some action on the part of the
county attorney.
Heating New High School Building.
John C. Troutan, the recently appointed
chief erglneer of the new high school build
ing, said lust night that steam was turned
on In the building yesterdiiy for the first
time. For the time being direct steam wilt
be used, but when the plant Is Installed tho
indirect system will be placed In service.
Mr. Troutan says that the building Is pro
vided with two ninety horse-power boilers,
and he considers that there will be no lack
of heat In the building.
One thing that is considered rather
strange is the purchasing of power for
!ectrlc light In the building. Those who
have looked over the building and the
boiler rooms say that It would cost but
little more for the placing of a dynamo or
two and supply light- the same aa heat. It
may be that before the building la com
pleted some such change will be made.
New Book Coming,
Miss Jane Abbott, librarian at the public
library, said last evening that another con
plgnment of new books would be opened
shortly. In talking; about the opening day
and evening Miss Abbott said that those
who attended brought a few books, eighty
volume In all being received. Colonel
James G. Martin sent Miss Abbott a check
for $20, to be used la the purchase of books
for the Institution. There Is plenty of room
In the library for several hundred volumes
and the people of South Omaha are not
only requested but urged to take some In
terest In the library and make donations
of good books. Histories, travels and fiction
are always In demand at the library. Sey.
eral hundred volumes of government re
ports now occupy shelves, and it Is the de
sire of Miss Abbott that these be replaced
by books more In demand. When this Is
done the government reports will be placed
in a room where those desiring data of the
nature given In these reports may have ac
cess to them at any time during the hours
the building is open.
Relief Association Ball.
This evening the Union Stock Tards Re.
lief association will give Its sixth annual
ball at the exchange building. Arrange,
tnents have been made for a late car to
Omaha. The last car wtll leave Twenty
fourth and N (streets at 1:30 a. m. AH those
desiring to attend the ball must cross the f
street viaduct, as the grade crossing at N
street la closed. About 135 members now
compose this association. Last year some
thing over 11,500 was paid ouj In sick bene
fits and there still remains about $700 In the
association treasury.
No Salary for Secretary.
At ths last meeting of the city council
he city attorney waa directed to draft an
ordinance providing for a salary of $12.60
per month for the secretary of the Fire and
Police board. City Attorney Lambert has
been too busy In court to take the matter
up, but he expects to get around to It be
fore long. Councilman Queenan said last
right that such an ordinance will neve
pass the council and he related an incident
where an attempt waa made once before to
have the city pay the secretary of the .
board a salary. The former ordinance wa I
turned down and Queenan states that Ir
another one Is presented It will meet with '
the same fate. I
Parkers Delivering Meat Agrala.
After several months of Idleness the
teams belonging to the packers have again
bean placed In service and the packers
are delivering meats and packing house
products to retailer In both Omaha and
Bouth Omaha. All of the four packing
houses here are now working six teams
each day. During the time the teams' were
laid off retailers were compelled to go to
the wholesale markets at the packing
houses and haul away their purchases.
The old plan aa now revived Is greatly
appreciated-by local retail meat dealers.
