est woman at the skating rink. The

played with seeming qualification. As
the case now stands, only the dead con-
ductor Is deserving of sympathy. His
name was johnson, the other mans
name was Long. johnson was freight
conductor on the Burlington and Mis-
souri, River railroad and his general
reputation was good. Long had held
several positions on the railroad ana at
the time OF the tragedy was working in
tne capacity OF switchman.
johnson was about IS years old, his wife
about the same age, and they had been
married only short time, he being her
| second husband. Long vas a Younger
man by severel years than johnson, and
was unmarried. The two men and the
| woman had beeh on terms of intimacy
for some time, and Long occupied s
room at Johnson's house. Il now an
pears that johnson suspected something
| wrong between his wife and the man
Long. Late last night he returned home
and found Long in his wife's bedroom
Both were in their night clothes. As
johnson forced his way into the room
Long ran out and up the stairs. johnson
| fired at him, the bullet taking effect il

door, then the firing begaI
In earnest. Half q dozen shots
were exchanged. johnson received two
wounds, one In the breast near the hear
and one in the side. He died in half ar
hour after the shooting. Long was shot
twice, once in the back near the spine
the other bullet pierced his shoulder
near the arm-pit. The doctors say he
| can not possibly recover.
The inquest on the body of johnson
was held this afternoon and developed
the above facts Both johnson and Long
were men of good address and well
thought of In the community. The
