KOONTZ MURDER STORY TOLD
Attorney Jefferis Outlines What the
Defense is to Be.
EUBDEEEIt SUITERS DELUSIONS
Defense Will Try to Prove lhat
Koonts Was Insane When He
Killed Smith, Who Was
Considered His Friend.
Eira E. Koonta, slayer of Frank W.
Smith, went down on his knees, read the
Bible and fervently prayed God to dis
solve the insane delusion which later
drove him to the murder of Smith. His
family prayed with him, but the struggle
was unavailing. He slew Smith, not
knowing what he was doing.
This is to be the defense of KoonU,
whose trial for first degree murder was
begun before Judge Willis G. Sears Mon
day. Taking of testimony for the state
was begun yesterday afternoon. Yesterday
a jury was secured and opening state
ments were made by County Attorney
James P. English for the state and A. W.
Jefferis for the defense.
Jefferis occupied more than an hour In
a careful outline of a tragic story of the
life of Koonts. He told of a distinct
strain of Insanity in the Koonts family,
naming his great grandfather, several
uncles, several ' cousins and several ne
phews who were or are insane. . He re
lated how Koonts, as an engineer, and
Smith, as a conductor, met and became
almost Inseparable friends; how they in
troduced their wives and strong bonds
of friendship between the two couples
were welded..
.Suffers Delusions.
A delusion that Smith was the father
of Mrs. Koontt's children took possession
Of the engineer's mind. Tears before he
had suspected others. His wife and Mr.
and Mrs. Smith labored with him to drive
out the delusion, but they labored In vain.
For a year this delusion preyed upon the
man's mind and then there came other
troubles sickness of several members of
the family, railroad accidents, a brutal
attack upon a little girl of the family.
For a week before the shooting Koontz
read his Bible and prayed, his wife and
children joining him. They begged God
to clear his mind of the black delusion
regarding his wife, but It would not be
driven out.
At last Koontz took the revolver he had
bought when fearing an attack of a man
whoso arrest he had caused, and sought
out Smith. His Intention was to point It
at Smith and make him apologize for or
deny doing what Koontz thought he had
done. While he held the gun pointed at
Smith he pulled the trigger, not realiz
ing what he was doing. Ho went home
and was taking a bath when the offi
cers came ' for him.
County Attorney English told the sim
ple story of the shooting, calling It calm
and deliberate murder. He said one wit
ness would testify that after' shooting
Smith Koontz turned to a man who had
rushed up and told him to "keep his
nose out" or he "would get the same
thing." Then Koontz disappeared behind
some cars and fled to his home.

Gather for Reunion
. at the Field Club
Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters
gathered together in a' happy throng at
the twenty-fourth annual reunion of the
Omaha High school '' alumni association
held with all due eclat at the Field club

of the alumni recalled the days when
they used to "skip" classes and clim'j up
several rickety flights of stairs to the
tower of the old building, whero they
roused everyone In the neighborhood by
ringing the school bell.
One alumnus recounted the days when
a foot ball victory over Lincoln hign was
rousingly celebrated with a bonfire on
the school camups and a record of the
game's score painted in flaring vermil
llon hues on the front steps of the school
building. The annual junior-senior class
"scrap," now a bygone affair, was also
discussed.
On account of the chilly weather very
few of the older graduates of the school
were present, but from '90 up there wtire
a good number of representatives from
each class.
Most bf the evening was taken up with
dancing, the ball room being socially
decorated In green and wnlte and many
school pennants.
Prior to the opening da'ice number a
brief business meeting was " held, Sam
Reynolds, '08, president ot the associa
tion, presiding. The following board of
directors wore elected: Howard Kennedy,
jr., '86; Joseph ' Po'lcar, '86; Victor Rose

on Reports of Rain
The Burlington's weather and crop re
port for last week shows that the rains
of the week materially improved the con
dltlon of all small grain in Nebraska

The rainfall for the week was general
over the state and torrential In some
localities, the gauge at Red Cloud show
Ing almost eight Inches. A number of
stations reported a fall of five Inches.
Two and three inches ot rain was not
unusual in other sections.
The pastures and meadows are in the
best condition In the history of the state
and cattle are fattening rapidly.

Along the Northwestern the cool
weather has retarded the growth of corn

been done, but en the whole the crop is
said to be In a very satisfactory condl
tlon.

I OLE WILD CLUB RAIDED
AND FORTY ARE TAKEN
The Omaha police took two more steps
toward making Omaha a highly moral
metropolitan city last night, when they
raided the notorious Idlewlld club, 1211
Douglas street, and the Royal hotel, at
Fifteenth and Dodge. At the Idlewlld
clue forty persons were arrested and a
large quantity of liquors confiscated, but
the Royal hotel had only a few visitors
and rib liquor when the police appeared.
At 9:15 o'cloek Sergeant Vanous entered
the Idlewlld elub at the head of a squad
of bluecoats and detectives. In the rear
Sergeant Samuelson controlled a detail,
which prevented any attempts at escape.
Inside a crap game and several card
parties were in full swing, breaking up
only when the presence of the officers
was announced.
The patrol made four trips to the place
and during the time required to clean
out the place nearly 1,000 persons gath
ered to see the place closed. Since the
change in the city administration the
Idlewild club has Installed an electric
signal device by which unwelcome vis
itors were announced before they could
get in. For this reason the police could
not gain admittance In time to secure
evidence, and last night was the first
time the proprietors of the place could
be caught napping. Robert Johnson and
Ole Jackson, proprietors of the place,
were locked up with all of the Inmates
and kept in jail for several hours until
friends came to their rescue with bonds.
Sidney Kacher and H. S. Pollock, pro
prietors of the Royal hotel, were also
released upon bonds.
Jackson was discharged in police court
and Bob Johnson was fined $10 and costs.
The three white inmates were fined $10
and costs. The thirty-five black Inmates
drew $0 and costs. Johnson will appeal
the case. '

gated. Edmund F. Leavenworth was last night
elected to succeed W, T. Bourke, re
signed, as members of the Board ot Edu
eatlon over Dr. 8. K. Spalding, by a
vote of 6 to 6. The election of Mr.
Leavenworth. It is contended, makes It
almost certain that W. T. Bourke wtll
be elected to the office of secretary ot
the. board, defeating the present secre
tary, J. F. Burgess.
There was some speculation how the
election would terminate. It was known
that fivo votes would be for Leaven
worth and four for Spalding, but Presl
dent Courtney and M. F. Sears refused
to state prior to the election for whom
they would cast their votes. Secretary
Burgess after the election said he would
not give up the fight for the secretary
ship of the board, but Indications, it Is
said, pointed very strongly toward the
election of Bourke. It Is understood that
Leavenworth will vote for Bourke for
secretary, making the vote seven for
him and five for Burgess.
in session yesterday afternoon the
finance and claims committee opened
bids on the $126,000 school district bonds.

Mrs. A. C. Binge), secretary of the

new high school be erected In the north
part of the city to accommodate the large
number of pupils who are graduated
from the district schools of, that section
every year and who are compelled to
go to the hlglj school, which she claims
Is crowded.
The annual report of the Omaha High
school lunch room was made at the
meeting and accepted. It showed that
82,47, students ate at the school during
the year just ended, as compared with
44,800 the year previous. The receipts
were $3,807 and the expenditures $3,020,
leaving a balance of $786. The director's
salary amounted to $800, leaving a deficit
of $. The reason for the falling off In
students eating at the lunch room is ex
plained by the two-session system in
vogue during the year.
Tbe board voted to build a new cement
walk from the south entrance of the
high school to Dodge street and change
the present retaining wall to suit the new
location of the walk.
Contract for. the erection of the new
Long annex addition was awarded to
Robert Butke on his bid of I17.9S5. Con
tract for the heating and plumbing at the

Growth by a Simple Home
Process.
tit Tells SowtHi Bid It.
Mrs. A. Blggam. a well known resi
dent of Kansas City. Mo., who dark
ened her gray hair by a simple homo
process made the following statement:
"Any lady or gentleman ran darken
their gray or faded hair, stimulate Its
growth and make it soft and glossy
with this simple recelpe, which they
can mix at honve. To half pint of
water add 1 ox. of bay rum, 1 small
box of 1 Barbo Compound and . ox. of
glycerine. These ingredients can be
purcnased at any nrug .store at very
little cost. Apply to the hair twice a
week until the gray hair Is darkened
sufficiently, then every two weeks.
This irlxttire relieves Itching and
scalp troubles, and is excellent for dand
ruff anl falling- hair. It does not stain
the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and
does not rub off. It will hake a gray
haired person look 10 to 20 years

Brandeis Stores
May Get One of
Uncle Sam's Banks
A probability remains of the establish
ing of a branch postal savings bank In
the Brandeis stores It the promise ot P.
W. De Oraw bears fruit upon his return
to Washington. Mr. De Graw was In
Omaha Saturday and while here Post
master Wharton pointed out to the fourth
assistant the value of such an Institution
in connection with the branch postoffice
In the stores. If such a branch postal
savings bank is established It will be the
first of Its kind In this country.
"The establishment of a bank at the
Brandeis stores would be an excellent idea
If what I am told Is true," said Mr. De
Oraw before his departure. "I am told
that the store cashes $50,000 in checks each
week and considerable ot this would be
deposited If a postal savings bank was
near at hand. I will consider It further
and correspond with Mr. Wharton on the
propriety of establishing the bank."
